Pokemon!

[OblivionDuruza]

Just want to say, Fire, Flying and Fighting types dominate all the rest.

[MARS]

I'm very fond of Fire, Dragon and Psychic types.

[OblivionDuruza]

I like Dragon, Poison and Psychic too actually. I do however, dislike most Bug types (although there are some exceptions) and to a lesser extent Rock and Normal pokemon.

[MARS]

I can't keep Rock types for long. I love my Geodude but he's just boring.
No Dratini, Charizard and Butterfree are my favourite pokes ever

Eh, Fire and Flying i agree with, but I have found fighting to be pretty useless. For one, most have a very low special defense, and that does not mix well with a type that is weak against Psychic. The only exception is Lucario since it is a steel/fighting type. Lucario is my second fav behind Lugia.

[JVElEven]

I normally go for a combi of ghost and dark. Preferably both. But I have trained the art of using ghosts to perfection. I have used nothing but ghosts in platinum for the last one and a half year.

[videogmer314]

On the contrary, Serperior is one of the best starters ever made. start a battle with Leech Seed, then just use coil over and over with Giga Drain and leaf blade to back it up But yeah, the others are crap. Seriously, who is going to want to use a PIG as a starter???

Its dream world ability reverses all stat changes. So, use Leech Seed, then if you spam Leaf Storm, it will get stronger with each use.

Also, I ditched my samurott when I started training other pokemon in black. It was definately the weakest link. It was even weaker than the idiotic Galvantula that bothers me a lot.

You use a party made entirely of Ghost and dark types? Sorry to brag, but my team would obliterate an all Ghost/Dark party.
and vidoegamer are you talking about Serperior vs. Emboar? Thats kind of a moot point seeing as there is no way I would use Serperior against a Fire type

[Wolfie]

I've only played up to gold (not heart gold)
not because the show got dumb (i dont like it but its ok) but cause i have not had a hand held system since

[MARS]

All this stat talk is making my head hurt!

Knowing the stats wins battles

[JVElEven]

Being versatile wins battles. So does knowing the types in and out. I consider myself quite good at ghost types, but there's no way I'd use a pure ghost type team in any way. Versatility wins, the opposite isn't the case.

I'm not saying they're above my head. Stats are simple and I'm not stupid. I'm just complaining about all your stat talking. Like always

oh I agree, which is why my team is made of all different types. I try to have at least on attack from each type in my party. And I don't really use stat lower/raising moves (except for the Leech seed, coil combo with serperior)
If I use a ghost type, it is Giratina

[JVElEven]

Of course. Giratina is the most badass thing ever thought up.

And, I don't use stat altering moves at all. I go with "They waste time, I take 'em down." Simple as that. I normally and up building a Special Attack sweeper team, with maybe a single using regular attack.

My White however, has found me using pokemon like Swanna, which is absolutely rubbish at most points, seeing as it has quite low attack, and Cryogonal, which seems to have a phobia for physical stuff.

Some stat combos can be quite strong though. Like I have saide, I have won a ton of battles with the Leech seed/coil combo with serperior, many against types that grass is weak against. Then of course there is oldie goldie, Hypnosis/Dream Eater. Love that one

[Iamgoofball]

And goofball I personally like my team consisting of Kyogre, Zekrom, Dialga, Lugia, Serperior, and Metagross. I would have used Palkia and Mewtwo for the other 2 legendaries, but I think Serperior is awesome, and when you use metagross right, he is as good as a legendary.

I can't send up my Kyogre and Groundon yet.

I have Metagross, in second evolution form.(Training the first evolution form one was ANNOYING AS A BROKEN CARTRIDGE DUE TO THE GAME BREAKING DUE TO A GLITCH CAUSING A GLITCH POKEMON WITH SUPERGLTICH AS A MOVE! In other words, VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY annoying.)

I am temped to hack for Deoxys and Ho-oh and Mew. I couldn't of gotten to Japan in time. While I'm at it, I should get a few master balls by rigging the lottery.......

Speaking of which, sonixboom I am still waiting on setting up a trade

Sure, Hypnosis/Dream Eater.... I have used that. It was extremely funny training a level 25 spiritiomb near Snowpoint using that, because they couldn't OHKO it. Pure evil.

And now I have 5 Spiritomb. I love breeding.

[born2beagator]

Wish I could get a spiritomb...just not willing to do all the junk you need to do to get one.

[videogmer314]

You could trade for one.

I did that once with Geodudes. I think I started to get one egg within a minute. After that, I started pawning them off.

Got Spiritomb... Piece of crap if you ask me. Was NOT worth the work...

[Iamgoofball]

Get a MISSINGNO. instead. Much easier.
