Random Chatter III: VENGANCE OF THE RANDOMS

[gym leader luna]

just put it in your mouth

Did Tippy die?
Where'd she go?
Where's my Tippy?
And why hasn't she posted something about this yet?
I hope she's not hurt.
How strange.

Tippy is having computer issues.

And by "computer issues", I mean "her laptop died and she is working on getting a new comp".






also that would be my tippy okok  

[Silph Co]

Oh my.
it's so lonely without her.
I think we should send her a card or something.
redface

XD @ the "My Tippy".  

[Dragon Queen Tiamat]

Poor, poor Tippy... It sucks when your laptop turns against you... I hope she can get back online soon...

@Corocoro leaks: Wooguru looks awesome. Even if it DOES remind me somewhat of a Digimon...

Version exclusive areas, Black City and White Forest... That's new.

The mention of mystery person "N" reminded me that Deathnote is on TV tonight...

wargle gargle

new 3 v 3 information for those of you keeping up
turns out battles wont be entirely a shot in the dark, they have some method to the madness...

From what I understand:

[Venusaur] [Blastoise] [Charizard]
v.
[Meganium] [Feraligatr] [Typhlosion]

Meganium can attack Venusaur and Blastoise but is too far out of reach to do anything to Charizard

please correct me if I am wrong and full of s**t  

[Melody Hikari-Shinu Anson]

That's pretty much it! Also that if you have Blastoise use Surf, it'll hit 'em all, but does more power [instead of weaker, apparently!]
There's also a move and ability to negate friendly fire!  

[Bulbasauurr]

I can see an updated Toxicroak + Kingdra rain combo coming from a mile away. I personally want a Drizzle/Drought pokemon that isn't uber.  

[melikefood]

Wish + Position Swapping = Superstall!
I feel awesome for making a Hail team now.  

[Bulbasauurr]

Wouldn't that be easily predictable?

The pokemon with low health will switch to thhe Wish spot, so just have two attack the wish spot? sweatdrop  

[Silph Co]

Sandstorm teams are gonna be the shiiiiiiiiiit.
The excessive vowels further prove my point.

I was thinking that the Pokemon going into the wish spot would use Protect.

I'm under the impression that position swapping only uses one of the pokemon's moves.

I could be wrong.  

[Bulbasauurr]

I think it is me who is under the wrong impression. xD
Time will tell, time will tell. I wonder if 5th gen will be designed more towards 3 party battles.

new pokesun video on flib, if anyone is interested:

http://www.filb.de/1351

shows version differences, pikachus sprite, ect

looks like we are getting platinum sprites? or it could be a placeholder  

[gym leader luna]

Ffffuuuu I hope they're just placeholders. I'm tired of the Platinum sprites, after having them there and in HGSS ;_; Tippy and I had a convo on this back when we first saw the battle animations video;

Quote:

Tippy: though i have to wonder about entei's sprite
Tippy: it looks a lot like its 4th gen sprite (i forget which version), but they don't reuse sprites from the previous gen for a new gen
Tippy: so why animate it?
Tippy: i guess it makes sense that they really wanted to showcase entei due to the movie, and its 5th gen sprite wasn't finished, but if they've got the idle/attack animations, why not just go a step further and create the 5th gen sprite itself?
Usa: yeah, it doesn't really make sense
Tippy: yeah, it doesn't, so maybe i'm just missing something. maybe it was easier with 4th gen entei
Usa: it's still very very early on, it'll probably fall into place later
Tippy: yeah, this stuff's only about 3/4th's complete, if that
Tippy: changing the sprites is very common. they did it a whole hell of a lot in the 4th gen, because they love showing off before the game's even finished being made
Usa: lol yeah. remember the old origintina sprite?
Tippy: yeah, and silver got a whole new sprite in the end (his original looked more like his GSC one, which is one of the reasons people were so WTF at his HG/SS appearance). gold lost the insignia on the back of his hat. promo plat screens showed us a different HP/EXP/ect bar than what we ended up with
Usa: yep. there's still plenty of time for this stuff to change

So I'm hoping they're going to pull an Origin!Gira and update the sprites :C They're probably just working on getting the 5th gen ones out of the way first. At least I hope. Baw.

I hadn't been keeping up with Smogon lately, but apparently Mence has gone Uber.
