No idea. The best answer I can come up with are that the people at Game Freak are trolls. Which might explain why Shedinja gives 2 HP EVs when fought and why Shedinja can learn Final Gambit.gigastrike said:How does Drowzee not naturally learn something that's built into it's character?Heart of Darkness said:Also, this is relevant:
I can finally get my phsycic charmander?! Dreams do come true! (HA! Pun! and I'm aware that a phsycic charmander shall never exsist but it's an amausing thought)
So... I've never really played Pokemon, and I can't honestly tell if the 'drought' ability is a joke. It just makes it sunny right? That's an amusing spoof ability, not something that is worth anything?
With Roserade's Speed and Special Attack, I'm inclined to agree. It would make Roserade so much more awesome than he already is.John Funk said:
"Sunny" is a special weather condition. Among other things, it makes Fire-type moves stronger (and Ninetails is a Fire-type and gets some pretty good Fire-type moves) and lets you skip the one-turn chargeup for Solarbeam (a very powerful Grass-type move that Ninetails can learn).Zechnophobe said:
So, it's a pretty darned good ability.
Sweet lord when did pokemon get so complicated? I only played the first two generations and have no idea what you're talking about.Heart of Darkness said:
I've been really thinking about buying either black or white though, how hard do you think it would be to get up to speed so I don't completely suck at real battles?
It shouldn't take too long. The games haven't changed that much since Generation II, but the biggest changes to the games since then--abilities and the physical/special move split--might take a little getting used to, but it's not that hard to wrap your head aroundBon_Clay said:
Smogon University's [http://www.smogon.com] also a good resource for strategy, either if you want to play competitively or (if you're like me) interested solely in the strategy with none of the desire for competitive battling. (I think Smogon's down right now, though, so check back a little later.)
Well the selling point of Pokémon is it's accessibility and you don't need to think about these sorts of things unless you play competitive matches. It isn't particularly hard to learn either, http://www.serebii.net/ has a 'pokemon of the week' column which explains how to use each 'mon in a real battle and what they are good at. The terms can seem a bit intimidating but you pick it up fast.Bon_Clay said:
OT: Yes. so much yes. Can I have My Epic-Espeon now? Actually, how DO you get the espeon from the pokémon site game into the DW? I have no idea.
'Sunny' weather is useful. It ups the power of fire moves and allows solarbeam (A VERY powerful grass-type attack) to be used in one turn instead of two. Doubly useful for a fire type as having a grass attack is a great counter to the water/rock/ground types that would normally be a problem.brodie21 said:
Weather effects have certain effects on Pokemon and their movesets. Sun increases the power of fire-type moves, decreases the power of water-type moves, makes a move called SolarBeam (one of the strongest grass-type moves in the game) work in one turn instead of two, and drops the accuracy of a move called Thunder down to 50%. Since Ninetails is a Fire-type Pokemon, it gets a boost to the power of its Fire-type attacks (which it already receives a boost through Same Type Attack Bonuses), it nerfs one of its counters (Water-types) down to only about half-power, and it gains a much more reliable counter to its other weaknesses (SolarBeam covers Ninetail's Rock- and Ground- type weaknesses in addition to its Water-type weakness). Sun also allows Pokemon with the Chlorophyll ability to move twice as fast, but that's not something that concerns Ninetails.brodie21 said:
That isn't just in the dream world, and I think it learns another grass type move, too.John Funk said:
Sun doubles the power of fire type moves, halves the power of water type moves, makes Weather Ball fire type, doubles the speed of Clorophyll Pokemon (some dangerous but slow Grass Types included), makes Solarbeam (a 2 turn huge power grass move) take 1 turn to shoot, and boosts the power of Solar Power pokemon (some dangerous fire types like Dream Charizard) by 30%.Zechnophobe said:
Among other things.
It's really freakin good.

Can't wait to make some Sunny Day and Rain Dance teams. I love Ninetales and Politoed and their new abilities are awesome.
What's cool is that it shows who've you added in your friend roster and what pokemon is asleep
I like the little things in games.

Come on, let Pokemon go already and pass away peacefully. This is just milking the franchise horribly. Ugh, but like every other corrupt or lacking in imagination company, they'll just milk it out.
As for the thread: Well.. great, online Pokemon. Hasn't there already been stuff like that... years ago?
*Cue the bashing for wanting Pokemon to pass away peacefully*
