Old Pokemon General(RIP)

The issue with the Gym Leader idea, and why I then said to use a smaller number, is that it takes longer for everybody to be ready. That's even why previous attempts have failed, because not everyone has their team set and people start early, which just causes problems.
With say 4 people, get them ready and then people can start much sooner. I'd go into it more, but I'll wait to see if anyone else is interested.

 

[Kaiaa]

I'd be a gym leader if possible. I don't do EV training so I'd be pretty easy to beat but it sounds really fun.

 

[AndyB]

They're not Gym leaders, another thing with that is that if we were to have only a few people interested and yet everyone wants to be a leader.. we have no challengers. So numbers dictate what we do.

 

[Kaiaa]

Makes sense. Okay, I'll be a challenger but will be appointed an elite if needed. Of course, only if numbers dictate it.

 

[Officer Berri]

I'd never be able to take part in this. xD I get bored of Pokemon easily. I would get curb stomped by anyone at the elite 4 in their games. xD Even if I did use my best team, my planning is not good enough for battling against real people.

Status affecting attacks? What's that? ALL MY ATTACKS CAUSE DAMAGE! BECAUSE I AM A WARRIOR. Grrrrr!

 

[Prof Gallows]

That seems to be the problem with a lot of people too. Well, not so much a problem more than an inconvenience.

Only a few people tend to stay interested in the game, so that leaves us with a really limited number of people to participate. Anyway, if we do anything at all it won't be until after October by the looks of it. With the wave of members that is inevitably on it's way when New Leaf is released, the number of people interested and serious about something like this might increase.


Until then, and until any new information comes out on the games, I'll keep asking questions to keep the thread active.

If you lived in the pokemon world, out of the five countries/regions we know of currently, which one would you live in and why?

I would pick Johto, myself. It's very much like my ideal home, very nature oriented with a few bigger cities around and a culture that sticks to it's history. Also an easy access way to get to Kanto, via train.

 

[Officer Berri]

Ahh, man. This is a tough question. I know I wouldn't live in Hoenn and Sinnoh, but the other three I have to think about.

-Johto, for a lot of the reasons you just stated, Gallows. Plus, it's always been my favorite region out of all the games. I think Ecruteak city would be the one I'd like to live in the most! It's such a beautiful town. Especially in some of the artwork. I'm a sucker for trees in their fall shades and this beautiful piece of artwork on Bulbapedia just shows how beautiful the town really is: http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a4/Ecruteak_City_Landscape.png

-Kanto because it's the region I'm most familiar with and know the most about. It doesn't have as many neat places as Johto though, but that region is just a quick trip away! If I lived here, I'd like my hometown to be Viridian City. Viridian It's close to the Viridian forest, and I love natural places like that (And has nothing to do with Giovanni. Nope. Not at all.).

-I like how unique Unova is, and I love it's pokemon. So it's got at least a 'maybe' from me. If I could live here, I'd want to live in Striaton City. I really love the area around it, and it's a short walk to Nacrene city and the Pinwheel Forest. This one is my favorite because of that beautiful fountain area as well as being close to the Dream Yard. (Also the Striaton Gym is awesome~)

 

[Juicebox]

Hoenn is stunning IMO. I would totally want to live in Fortree in harmony with all the Pokemon I catch. I can then go out to the rainy routes accompanying the town and play in the rain. I'd like to see all the towns there, because every town has something to see. Plus, Gen 3 has my favorite Pokemon designs, so I would have no problems finding a partner that I like.

Special mention goes to Johto, because it seems to have a very interesting culture, and I'd love to live in Ecruteak with all the towers and dancers.

 

[Kaiaa]

I would have to pick Johto as well, main reason being that I loved the (Heart)Gold/(Soul)Silver versions the most out of any of the pokemon games. I would live in Azalea Town.

 

[oath2order]

Hoenn is my favorite because of Lilycove <3

 

[Stevey Queen]

Hoenn will always be my favorite unless the new region somehow manages to be even better. I would live in Fortree City, but someone already said that so in an effort to be original I would live in Pacifdlog (can't spell) Town. It's a very beautiful town.

 

[Officer Berri]

I don't like Hoenn that much myself. I just don't like the design of it and all the water routes on it. xD

 

[oath2order]

What's so bad about water?

 

[Officer Berri]

Tentacools. Tentacools everywhere. O_O

 

[oath2order]

Ah yes, the Zubats of water. But nothing a few Max Repels can't handle!

 

[Officer Berri]

xD I have never been able to use my repels. I have RPG player hoarder's disease.

Everything that enters my bag never leaves unless it's a poke ball or I'm in the middle of the elite four and need to heal!

Plus using repels would take repels I have away and then I'd have to spend my precious pokemoney on more repels when I could be spending it on more poke balls. @_@ My mind is a complicated place.

 

[oath2order]

I can tell XD

 

[Treasu(red)]

I'm so bummed.. I drove to the next town to go to the Gamestop to get the Mystery Gift Meloetta and b/c I live in the middle of nowhere the guy's like "Urrrh, did you drive all the way here just for that? You should call ahead next time. I dunno when we'll get that. When was it out? Oh. Two days ago? Oh. Well. Call back."

*facepalm*

 

[AndyB]

Hoenn is HUGE though, yes there's a lot of water, but Gen 3 had the faster surfing speed at that point.
Repels are good and all.. but they limit the chance of that illusive shiny! :O

 

[Officer Berri]

This is another reason I don't use repels! xD

I got 2 shinies while wandering around! My first was while I was hunting for the Pikachu in the Viridian Forest. Got a yellow caterpie instead.

"Me: OH MY LORD A SHINY A SHINY *SIBLING* I HAVE A SHINY!"
"Brother: OH MY GOD A SHINY!"
