And that's when I stopped caring.Logan Westbrook said:
Come on Nintendo, we have internet now. And these little "Go to GameStop" and "Go to Toys'R'Us" things aren't events. You go in, download the thing, and leave. It's not like they are having some fun party thing or whatever that would bring people in, so you're just making people drive all the way out to one of those stores just for a tiny download (yes, some people like me don't have those stores nearby and have to drive 40 minutes just to get to one). Boo!
Keep the in-store version of the event for people who can't get on Wi-Fi easily, but give them away over Wi-Fi at the same time. Again, you aren't having an actual event at the store to justify making people go there.
Anyway, for just a Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle, which isn't even that great of a move? No thanks. Oh, and of course, next they want me to go to GameStop for a Celebi. Augh. At least that one is rare enough to start being worth the hassle, but still Nintendo. Wi-Fi! We have it, use it more.

Hehehe that is almost as awesome as: http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/383
And im still surprised that Pikachu is still strong. I never liked that little yellow rat. I heard that initally ash would be getting starting the series with a claefarie (or however u spell it). THAT would have been more interesting to get as a present AND as a series. Pokemon could explore whether or not ash is gay through travelling with faries and alot of different girls he never, EVER, seems to get.
I mean the dude is supposed to be a pokemon master (or trying to be) and he never gets with any of them.
That would be nice, give it a unique ability (although thunder can be used on rock, its only ground which is immune)Zeithri said:
They always seem to do this with every new game.
What they should do, is make an event Flareon with Flare Blitz. OR JUST LET FLAREON LEARN THE DAMN FLARE BLITZ!!!

How fucking hilarious would it be if after the event ended, Ash's Pikachu was just GONE from the show.
The light ball that doubles Attack and Sp. Attack doesn't work on Raichu, so if you have one, it's actually better to not evolve it.samaugsch said:
I have two of each, and if I hadn't promised one of the sets to a friend, I would totally give them to you for having a team of level 100 Magikarps (which is EPIC).David Sterling said:
You can still get Suicune though, and that might be all you need to unlock the legendary in Black/White
You know, the only reason to get them is to unlock that event, because the fact that they're shiny tells everyone who sees them "I didn't work for these, I got them from Gamestop"
I walked into a Toys R US, I dunno 3 ish years ago.ProfessorLayton said:
I picked up a package with GI Joes in it.
I thought back fondly to my warhammer esque battles of 30 vs 30 and then I focused in on the joints.

THEIR JOINTS ARE MADE OF PLASTIC NOW?!?!
Jesus...the price goes up, the paint job looks like crap, AND they don't even have metal joints anymore.
I feel sorry for kids these days, getting crap for more than I paid as a child.
level 50? Everyone knows ash's pikachu is level 9001. This is just a cheap fake.
Interesting but not quiet as moving as some of the more powerful Pokemon give-aways.

you little whatevers just downloading pikachu real poke'fans got him (and it was a him before that stupid gender system) the real way by in the 1st forest you used a pokeball (if you had red or blue) or got him in the beginning in yellow
Yeah, that item kind of made Raichu a completely obsolete pokemon, kind of stupid in my opinion. I like Raichu.samaugsch said:
Lol. I read a website dedicated to Professional pokemon battling, and Pikachu definitely falls off the radar in that context. (Actually, any pokemon that hasn't been evolved all the way does).
Still, I'm curious what the actual moveset for Ash's Pikachu is;
Problem with the cartoon is Pokemon have demonstrated using more than 4 different moves in the same fight.
So, you'd never copy ash's pikachu exactly the way he appears onscreen.
But, for professional pokemon battlers, a Pikachu is actually viable if you like to screw with your opponents.
You do not want to get hit by ANY attack, but with a light ball, Pikachu is actually pretty scary.
Keep in mind that historically, pokemon Yellow is the game closest to the cartoon series, and the Light ball item was something you could only get originally if you uploaded a Pikachu from pokemon yellow.
Doubling the attack stats puts the upper limits for a pikachu somewhere around 418 attack, and 398 special attack. To put that in context, Mewtwo has 319 attack and 407 special attack.
So, with a light ball, Pikachu actually hits harder than Mewtwo.
Heh. That probably explains why, back in the days of Gold & Silver my Pikachu was ripping through entire teams as long as nothing with resistance showed up...
