    Unova Starter Trio: Which eggmoves interest you, if any?

    I quite like the idea of Airslash on Oshawott, for some reason. It gets some interesting choices, and it's that little bit better than Aerial Ace; I would usually be smacking Ice beam there, but the one move handles both the other two starters. End Waffle.

    Non-competitive Event/Activity Ideas

    Keeping going with the 'game team' idea might be a good one; no ev training or anything - moving pokés forwards a generation I just tweak their move set a bit and mix and match different teams. It doesn't require any mad grinding / breeding, and they will already be a decent level - casual...

    Doubles Ruleset for the next league - VGC09 or VGC10?

    '09 for the win here; else it will just resort to Kyogre + Palkia and a couple others, like Tyrogue, and some very narrow tactics. 09 had so much more variety, with the exceptions of Gengar and Metagross, but they always show up anyway.

    Mini Tourney: Black & White In-Game Teams Redux (March 26th)

    I suppose, I just thought that banning competitive builds would give the less than competitive pokémon a shot in the limelight (one they'll unlikely see again, unless a 'crappy league' starts up!)

    Mini Tourney: Black & White In-Game Teams Redux (March 26th)

    Sounds good; 1 week after launch and I have 5 badges, pretty sure the elite 4 are within a fortnight! The problem I'd most be concerned with would be access to trained late / post E4 pokémon; you may have been dicking about with a Deino 'in game', but I'm betting Hydreigon will wipe all the...

    Mini Tourney: Black & White In-Game Teams (March 26th)

    Yeah, 26th is good - I won't have to face complaints after I move to my shiney new 3DS. Just a point - online battling isn't linked to the Global Link is it? And the auto-level to 50 is sweet on IR battles, is it enforced online? Also worried about the ban-hammer on Double team, then I hit...

    How early can you connect to the WFC in Black/White?

    Really? I thought you would need access to the Poké Shifter, after finishing the main story...

    Ringtones

    For calls, it's the "ring ring ring, ring ring ring! phonecall! phonecall!" from the second ep of the anime (Ash's mums I think). It gets a laugh where ever you go just for it's cheesyness, as most people haven't got a clue where it's from! The absolute best alarm theme would be the Stingray...

    Little kids with Cell Phones

    I think it makes me feel old more than anything! I reluctantly had an old (about third hand) Nokia 310 in the latter years of school 'just in case'. If I needed a pickup, I could generally walk the mile or so home before it had warmed up to the point of being able to make a call. It was only...

    Your Favourite Gen V Pokemon

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Cubchoo. Will most likely never use it, but it's so fluffy-wuffy adorable! And this is usually something that goes against favs for me. But, Awwwwwwwwwww..........

    The Gen V 3D Console Battler

    Yep, dynamic movement in combat is the biggy, and where it really lacks compared to the anime; most battles there are interesting, but I think the title battle in the 3rd movie was the one that made me ask why the console games weren't pushing themselves.

    The Gen V 3D Console Battler

    YES! "The attack missed!" No, he didn't even try!

    The Gen V 3D Console Battler

    True, on all counts. Unfortunately Saturday morning cartoons don't fall under the same scrutiny as video games. Likely because it's a perennial 'hot topic'; while the violence in video games debate rages on, people forget that watching violence on tv causing children to act more violently was...

    The Gen V 3D Console Battler

    Yeah, smacks of laziness. Given the massive amounts of negative feedback they must have got over these issues, they must have come up with something good. Another shoddy job could kill home console versions else. Not literally, but their main audience wouldn't be buying them. Much.

    The Gen V 3D Console Battler

    I've got a feeling we'll be heading back to Orre; the more evil of the twins did escape at the end of XD, and I sujspect he had more mischief in mind. Orre is suspected to be part of the NA continent anyway, I can't see they won't use that to expand the region as a whole, 5th gen criiters being...
