Starter Pokemon for Pearl and Diamond revealed

[DK]

I think there's more metroids than Pokemon games. Lets count.

Metroid NES
Metroid 2 GB
Super Metroid
Metroid Prime
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission
Metroid Prime 2
Metroid Pinball
Metroid Prime Hunters

Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow
Pokemon Pinball
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal
Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2
Pokemon Collesium
Pokemon DX (the name escapes me)
And that Pokemon Puzzle game for the DS.

edit: I mainly said that at a crack and Lindz just to mess with him.

Yeah man, you totally messed with me good, oh boy, I need to get professional help for the messing that you did.

Good thing you missed out Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and Fire Red/Leaf Green which actually brings up the number of Pokemon games equal to the number of Metroid games. I think learning to count should be on your list to things to do, much, much higher up than trying to "mess" with me.

there's more. There was pokemon TCG games for the GBC too, "hey you pikachu" "pokemon snap" and more, there was also another pokemon pinball game

Not to mention some ghetto pokemon RPG I found a rom for today where you take the role of a pokemon.

[Lindy]

Yeah, that's the weird Mystery Dungeon games.

If there's a demand, they'll keep making them.

It got too complicated for me after Silver though.

Metroid also lost me with Prime.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

There's nothing wrong with the style of the Pokemon games, I think. Usually the new features are more than enough to keep me interested. The wi-fi capabilities will make it pretty good too. After all, it's all about the options.

Estimate what? 450-some pokemon x 6 pokemon to a team x 4 different moves x probably about 100 moves each. That's a good amount of viable team combinations. Getting to fight and trade with others over wi-fi will do much to improve the series.

I'm happy to see the day and night aspect returning, I was severly disappointed when they took it out after Gold and Silver.

[KentaRawr!]

First I'm like "Oh, more Metroid games than Poke'mon". Then Kishi comes in and is like "Lol no. Here's the list" and it's bigger than the Metroid List and I'm all flabergasted. O_O

Anyway, I want the monkey.

[Del Murder]

Yeah man, can't forget about Snap.

Zapdos + Articuno + Mew + Mewtwo + Dewgong + Charizard is winnar.
What team did you used to use?

And as far as new elements for starting Pokemon games, what three elements works in a rock/paper/scissors styles like Fire/Grass/Water? The closest thing you can get is Psychic/Dark/Fighting, but they aren't meant to be started with, because Dark is immune to Psychic, and the stats of the original three were balanced against each other, and all three of their elemental attacks were special, while they started with Normal attacks. Darks gets wrecked by physical attacks, Psychic is too fast, and Fighting would be rigged/severely gimped against the lower level starting Pokemon (of which are mostly Normal/Flying).

EDIT: Pokemon Snap was a pain. Fun, but painful. That 10,000 Mew killed me, and my sister had to get it for me.

[I Took the Red Pill]

What team did you used to use?

Blastoise + Mewtwo + Hypno + Pidgeot + Zapdos + Moltres

This deserves a thread of its own IMHO.

[Skarr]

Too much to handle...quick somebody give me a Tim Shaffer game.

[DK]

What team did you used to use?

Arcanine + Lapras + Raichu + Venusar + Golem + whatever. My last one always usually interchanged to fit whoever I was fighting at the time.

[Del Murder]

Snorlax, Lapras, Alakazam, Gengar, Rhydon, Jolteon.

Using Mewtwo was so cheap, and I never liked the birds because there were better pokemon out there with their element, and without the Icebeam weakness.

Basically, though, nothing beats Snorlax with Amnesia and Icebeam.

[DK]

Articuno was valid out of the birds, Never had much time for Zapdos and Moltres was fail, imho.

[Tavrobel]

Well, now that they added those Steel and Dark Pokemon, Mewtwo is offically stunted from use. My Mewtwo's Fire Punch still does reliable damage enough to pwn Dark Pokemon, though.

As far as teams go, it's quite surprising that most teams have a surprising weakness to Rock Pokemon. If only they had a more reliable move than Rock Slide (95% at 80 Attack Power).

EDIT: I didn't use Zapdos until after I started needing six Pokemon to compete in Pokemon Stadium. Seemed like a reasonable fit, as most of my Pokemon are reasonably fast.
