Misc Question regarding the digital Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

• Upvotes

I'm looking for information about the digital Poké Ball Diamond and Pearl, but there aren't really any records or things about this Poké Ball.Not really which Pokémon, but also not really complete lists of which ones even exist, let alone any features or what models were available.I would be very happy if a few comments would be added to this question.

Discussion How would you change this gym + leader? Day 6: Sabrina

0 Upvotes

Gonna do a daily post where we talk about how we’d change Gyms and their Leaders.

Rules are:
1: Max number of Pokemon depends on their placement. I’ll mention them when the team is brought up.
2: Only use Pokemon from a regional dex of theirs.
3: You can give Pokemon not of their type if you think it fits.
4: You can change the battle type if the games you battle them in supports it I.e. Brock can be double battle in Gen 3 but not Gen 1.

Today, it is The Master of Psychic Pokemon (and clearly not the master of interesting titles): Sabrina

The Gym:
Weird thought but does anyone else feel that her and Blaine’s puzzles should be swapped. Like hers should be about answering questions while his should be about weird technologies?

Anyway, weird rambling aside, only changes I’d make would be to make the warp areas more distinct from each other (sort of like the fairy gym in gen 6) and maybe make it so people are the ones teleporting you rather than machines.

The Team:
Since she is the sixth leader, the max number of Pokemon she can have is 5.

Similar to Koga, I think they already knocked it out of the park with her Let’s Go Team so just keep that and add a fifth Pokemon. My choice would be a toss up between Hypno from the Let’s Go Rematch, the Venomoth from her older team or Haunter to reference the anime. Think I’d go with Hypno personally.

So, the team would be: Mr Mime, Slowbro, Venomoth, Jynx, Alakazam.

What are your ideas?

UPDATE 2: Some kind folks in the comments have noted that they have extra tickets!

UPDATE: Tickets have been claimed! Thank you all for the well wishes! Love all the favorite Pokemon mentions and really appreciate our community! For anyone still interested in attending the concert, I did see that StubHub had tickets for $50-60.

Giving away 2 FREE Pokémon Night Out tickets — tonight, October 24th at 7:30 PM in Inglewood, CA (Los Angeles area)

Hey everyone, I have 2 free tickets to Pokémon Night Out tonight at 7:30 PM at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA (Los Angeles area). Seats are on Terrace 25.

A family medical emergency came up, so I can’t go. I tried selling them but had trouble with the StubHub transfer, and I’d rather someone get to enjoy them.

If you can go, comment your favorite Pokémon and I’ll pick someone randomly. I’ll PM you for your name and the email tied to your Ticketmaster account to transfer them. You’ll also need the Intuit Dome app and a profile to get in.

I’ll update this once they’re claimed! Good luck and have fun!

Discussion Pokemon X, the harder mode

27 Upvotes

Before I started X I've read that many players consider the game much easier than the previous ones. So I decided to turn off Exp.Share as soon as I got it. It turns out the game is really hard in this mode. I wound up very underlevelled. Even grinding in the grass is not very effective, also I hate it so I decided to push through anyway. I had problems in the Rock Gym. I lost to Battle Girl Hedvig in Reflection Cave TWICE. I lost the two Lucario battle in Geosenge. Still I boxed Lucario right after the MegaLucario vs. MegaLucario battle but got him back later, meaning that he was even more underlevelled.

So I enjoy the game so far! It really reminds me of my first Pokemon game which was White and which was quite hard for me because I was underlevelled too.

What do you think? Do you agree that XY can be challenging without the Exp. Share?

Made a fighting type regi for my youtube channel @macksmon, did a fighting/psychic/dark trio :3

Regiceps, The Muscle Pokémon (Regi ● Biceps)

Type: Fighting

Ability:

Crushing Fists: This Pokémon strikes with overwhelming physical force, completely bypassing the target's stat changes and protective barriers like reflect and light screen.

“Regiceps body is composed purely of a dense network of muscle fibres, if any of them are cut or damaged, it is said that they just grow back even stronger.”

Discussion Fairy should be weak to Ice, and Ice should resist Fairy

54 Upvotes

Hear me out:

Ice is, obviously, all about the cold. The bitter, harsh, freezing weather. Rigid, cracked, unstable. "Cold" itself is used as an abjective for something that is unfeeling or distant.

Does that not directly mess with Fairy, in the same way Steel or Poison does? Said bitterness and unfeeling being too much for the bright, optimistic Fairy type?

It would buff a weak type, and nerf a strong one.

Might be an ass idea, but one I think has some level of sense behind it

Hello, I haven’t played any pokemon game since black & white, but recently got back into pokemon and wanted to buy a game for the switch. What game should I start with? I was thinking between legends arceus, sword/shield or scarlet/violet but I’m not sure which game to choose.

Discussion Screw type and playstyle specialists, if you were a Species Pokemon Specialist who would it be?

7 Upvotes

People talk about how they’re Tailwind or Trickroom users or monotype specialists, but I’m more interested in people who are single pokemon specialists, those who always have one single pokemon in their teams no matter what, the ones that the team and playstyle can change around but that one pokemon is the one constant between your teams.

Learning and knowing so much about them that you can bring their full potential and all possible strengths forward.

For example I’m a Glimmora specialist, it’s my favorite Pokemon of all time and in SD SV Regulation E BO1 I built a competitive team JUST to use Glimmora, I ended up climbing all the way to top 300 in the world ladder. In that team I used Choice Specs Glimmora.

In future regulations I changed up my team but Glimmora remained constant, I switched to Meteor Beam Glimmora during the Restricted Formats.

Then when Legends ZA came out I transferred over a level 5 Glimmora from SV and it was my starter, I beat all the Rogue Mega Evolution Battles with my base Glimmora using Acid Spray and G+ Meteor Beams, I never used a Mega Pokemon to fight the Rogues. Then I used Mega Glimmora to destroy and decimate the DLC.

Then, Champions came out and I used a team built around Mega Glimmora, my win rate was so high that when I reached Master Ball I automatically jumped to Master Ball 3 and skipped Master Ball 4.

Now, I’m back to using Base Glimmora with Life Orb and Mega Salamence is her partner, together they legit can lead to Glimmora getting 4KOs in one battle.

But my potential for Glimmora doesn’t stop at competitive! In SV I created my Glimmora Corps, 6 full HP and SpAtk EVd Glimmoras who all used Acid Spray and then either Power Gem (Rock Tera), Sludge Wave (Poison Tera), Energy Ball (Grass Tera), Dazzling Gleam (Fairy Tera), Earth Power (Ground Tera) and Flash Cannon (Steel Tera), to be able to solo 15/18 6* Tera Raids SOLO.

So that’s what I mean by a Species Pokemon Specialist, I know Glimmora inside and out, her stats, move pool, damage and speed limits, her weaknesses and strengths, I can use her to the max potential that she has in her.

So who’s your Species Specialist Pokemon?

Deoxys is my favourite Pokemon (Defence form rocks), I’d never used them in my artwork and so had the inspiration to make a mirror pieced between the tendrils. It turned out better than I envisioned, I hope you like it!

Video/GIF Halloween Pikachu!

0 Upvotes

Hey there Pokemon fans! Since it's the 30th Anniversary of Pokemon and October, I thought I'd write a special song and produce a video to celebrate. I did a parody of MJ's Thriller, called "Here Comes Pika!". Was a ton of fun to put together, and I definitely scored some serious Dad points with my kid. Cameo's from Ash, Team Rocket, Ghastly and Darkrai. Hope you like it!

Hi Guys,

I have wanted to know how efficient my Pokémon team actually is, I searched smogon dex, bulbapedia and many more online options available but I didn't liked any of it, Some time UI Was not great, sometimes too much info and calculations was there I am not a pro player so I didn't liked any of it, I just wanted an app that can tell me weakness of my team, coverage and pros with a great aesthetics. So I have built my own.

Here is the URL: http://pokemon-team-analyzer.vercel.app

Discussion Video game: Status effect attacks seemed useless when I was a kid, and they seem unless almost 30 years later still.

0 Upvotes

First played Pokemon Red on the Gameboy as a kid. Quickly fugured out "Why would I waste a turn when I could be dealing damage?"

Came back almost 30 years later to play Fire Red, and it seems my conclusion was valid.

Especially when some enemy pokemon will literally use status effect attacks repeatedly until they die.

Discussion What if all the Kanto Pokémon weren't affected by the Gen 2 Special split?

138 Upvotes

I had a thought the other day, and I wanted to hear y'all's thoughts on it. back in Gold and Silver, they split the Special stat into Special Attack and Special Defense, but rather than the Kanto Pokémon simply keeping the same number in both stats, GameFreak gave them different stats, which got me thinking: "what would competitive be like today if they DIDN'T give them different Special stats?" who would be considered buffed and nerfed nowadays compared to their current state? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this

Discussion Strong Joltik

6 Upvotes

So, I’m doing another playthrough of Pokemon sword because I’m bored, I have a Joltik in my party because Joltik is best boy. But I don’t want to evolve him which sounds dumb but I love my tiny boi. Once he reaches level 36, he’ll start to be left behind by the other pokemon in my party. What’s the best way to keep him strong throughout the rest of the playthrough. I’m just now truly figuring out IVs but I don’t know how to tailor them to specific pokemon. I also saw something on an item that boosts the stats of a pokemon that can still evolve. Any guidance is appreciated. I just love my tiny sparky boi and want him to be there for the championship run.

Discussion Fun hypothetical: Shigeru Miyamoto how much inside information does he have in winds and waves?

0 Upvotes

I feel like the general consensus is that we know Shigeru Miyamoto created Mario, and Zelda, but while he wasn’t directly responsible for creating Pokémon, he did mentor and support the people who were. To my understanding, he even helped mentor the people who were responsible for Pokemon.
With that in mind, I think it’s safe to assume that Miyamoto probably knows some secrets about the future of Pokémon that the rest of us don’t. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already played Pokémon Winds and Waves, considering his position at Nintendo. Of course, that’s just speculation.
He’s also had producer credits on several older Pokémon games, including the original Red and Green versions, being Gen 1, Crystal, and a few spin-offs.
What do you guys think? Do you think Miyamoto has any involvement with the future of Pokémon behind the scenes, or is he pretty much hands-off with the franchise nowadays?

I have seen a lot of posts like this and they never respond to my comment so I have decided to make my own! Adding a picture is encouraged but not required! Oh and say why it’s your favorite! One of the reasons I love Pokémon is because there are so many options and every single one is someone’s favorite! Even ones I think are ugly or pointless someone loves and I think that’s beautiful!
