So, I am sixteen, and decided to complete my childhood by finally playing Pokemon for the first time ever. Downloaded an emulator to my phone and played blue. All I can say is:
THIS SHIT IS AWESOME.

I died when I realized the Red Gyarados I caught was 29/30/30/25/28/31... epic day.

I'm incredibly excited to get Pokemon Black, but unfortunately I have to wait until my DS comes in. I'm excited and have my dream team in mind already. Gliscor, Skarmory (when dreamworld comes out...), Tyranitar, Gyarados, Dusknoir/gengar, Snorlax/Volcarona/Umbreon.

The last two slots are kind of up in the air. I love Gengar with his three immunities, but he's so easily knocked out with low hp. Dusknoir can takes some hits, but doesn't have the same power...

As for the last slot, Umbreon is pretty much hands down the coolest pokemon. But Snorlax has a lot of raw power, too. Although I think snorlax might overlap in role a bit with Tyranitar, so I think Umbreon is the better choice teamwise. Volcarona is pretty neat but I'm not sure if he'll be in the Uber tier or not. I'd kind of like to have a Starmie too for rapid spin, but alas, there are only two slots that are open, and enough pokemon that are weak to thunder and grass.

Plain question: Is Pokemon Blach/White any good? I was rather disappointed by Pearl/Diamond. So any pros and cons for me? Just as information: I enjoyed Silver the most. It was overall fun to play and a nice addition to the lists of Blue/Green(JP)/Red.
I just love video games, what's your excuse?

Black and White captures more of the feel of red and silver, because you can't bank on your knowledge of the old pokemon so you have to find out for yourself which pokemon are good and which arent. Also it's a bit more challenging (but still easy if you use good pokemon) and the storyline is quite a bit better.

IMO it was the best Pokemon since silver/gold at the minimum.

You can always try it out with an emulator or borrow it from a friend.

the GTS is so stupid, everyone wants to make these ridiculously one sided trades, I want a lvl 100 legendary and offering a lvl 24 boldore, yeah right

would anyone be willing to make some actual fair trades, like tirouga for archen, or boldore for boldore so i can get it to evolve

Try the negotiations for evolve trading imo.

I traded the water starter for a zekrom.

There are a lot of retarded trades on there, but if you look in the right places you can usually do some pretty good trades. Good things to offer are pokemon that must be evolved by trading or exclusive pokemon to certain versions.

Shiny geodude. It used self-destruct on the second turn.

Black and White have revolutionized the competitive pokemon metagame: worthless types receive good pokemon and new moves, weather conditions are more important, trick room teams have been buffed with reiunculus; so stoked on this game.

I'm glad that they put some Pokemon from the previous generations in the unlock able zones. Also, has anybody used that C-gear dream world thing? Is it any good?

Hmm, so, while I wait for my ds to come in the mail, I tried out the new pokelabs thing. Wow, it's a ton of fun. None of the time wasted leveling up my pokemon and all the fun of competitive battling. Won my first game with 3 pokemon to 0 using my team of Ttar jirachi gliscor skarmory gyarados and skarmory. It was epic.

Still can't wait to play pokemon black. Hope you guys are ready for some fun battles! Imo we should have a teamliquid tournament soon for pokemon.

p.s. Is it just me or is u-turn the most ridiculous move ever? I love u-turning back and forth between pokemon and dodging attacks.

You don't really dodge attacks...you still get hit...its just another strategical choice. You can do 120 damage in 1 shot or you can do 70 and then get a switch. I personally think fake out is the most ridiculous move ever.

I know you don't dodge attacks. What I meant was u-turning to a pokemon that is immune to the attack. Also screw sucker punch.
