Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

I agree with this if you're just talking about their first forms and not there fully evolved forms.

For evolved I'd say
Sceptile > Venusaur > Torterra > Meganium
Infernape > Blaziken > Charizard > Typholsion
Swampert > Blastoise > Emploeon > Feraligator

As you can see even though the original GSC are my favorite pokemon games, I hate the starters.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

No it just has Jhoto and Kanto

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Venusaur > Meganium > Torterra > Sceptile
Charizard > Typholsion > Blaziken > Infernape
Blastoise > Emploeon > Feraligator > Swampert

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

hmmm

Blastoise > Feraligatr > Empoleon > Swampert
Typhlosion > Infernape > Blaziken > Charizard
Torterra > Venusaur > Sceptile > Meganium

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

You may like Swampert, but stat-wise Empoleon is actually the strongest final evolution when it comes to the water starters.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Clearly you aren't into competitive pokemon if you think this. Unless this is just your favorites list and not actually superiority list because I can tell you one thing, Infernape and Swampert are definitely the best Fire and Water starters. I've never actually played a Sceptile before I just hear really good things about it (Leaf Blade ftw) and add to the fact that the other grass starters are all kinda average.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

They were my favorites. Infernape and swampert fail as they are carbon copies of previous gen pokemon with boring type combination.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Ya I don't really like Infernape and Swampert favorite wise but you can't argue with results they are pretty damn good not just in the starter category but in all Fire and Water Pokes.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

I don't see the point of swampert myself, what role is it meant to play. Bulky Water?

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Ya you can run him as a Bulky Water with Curse and Rest and such. His Ground type makes him immune to electric but 4x weak to grass but grass isn't used that much anyway. Except for Grass Knot. That move is broken.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Empoleon's type combination makes it much more powerful.

Water and Steel.

Almost all type advantages are nill.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Honestly, I've never raised one yet, I plan to raise a Kingdra as my water type in SS, so his only weakness is Dragon.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

I think water type pokemon had always the flaw, that they didn´t have that many strong attacks, but since surfer got 15 AP they are just cheated, as you can teach that one to every water pokemon.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Well, Blastoise has two 200% with better Defense and Speed than Empoleon. But, if Empoleon knew Grass Knot, the base power would be 80 to Blastoise (which would effect a little more since Grass is a weakness). Though, Blastoise could also have Earthquake. It depends on stats and attacks for what the outcome would be.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

It doesn't matter if the types are good if he has a bad moveset. Swampert has Earthquake which is the best move in the game.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

yeah but he's still a big target for grass type attacks, like leaf blade, it's good to give him Protect and if possible give an Ice type move or have a fire type pokemon ready

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Let's just say this. It really all depends on what the stats are and the moveset. This can always decide a battle.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

it all depends on the strategy of your Pokemon.

Like I combo Torterra with Honchkrow, Earthquake/Heat Wave, somethings bound to be a hurting

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Where did you get that sig anyway Zero Gravity? It's really nice.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

a friend did it for me on a different forum

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

From February 27th to March 13th, Gamestop will be holding a Jirachi event, in which you can get a special Jirachi with the move Draco Meteor (a move unlearn able to anything other then Dragon Pokemon), when traded to HG or SS it unlocks the "Edge of the Night Sky" course in your Pokewalker

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Siiiiiick.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

RESERVED!!!

I plan on getting that Jirachi to go with my Pikahu colored Pichu

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Theres only 3 more days until the release of the Amercan versions, be sure to the Nintnedo WiFi Myster Gift to get your shiny Pichu if you missed the Gamestop event!
Also, huddle over to Gamestop if you haven't gotten your Jirachi yet!
Jirachi unlocks a new course in the PokeWalker and Pichu unlocks a Notch Eared Pichu event in the HGSS games!

But thats not why i'm bumping this topic.
An event is happening in Japan that will eventually hit here at either your local Toys R Us or Gamestop.

When you pre-order a ticket for "Pokemon: Ruler of Illusions Zoroark" you get to download a shiny Raikou, Entei and Suicune.
Based on the wording, it seems like you get one of the three, but I'm unsure still how it works.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

I don't get either game because I can't afford a DS to play said games with. I'll just be in the corner with my gameboy color playing original gold and silver.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

Well it's the 3rd day of the game's release. And I just got my SoulSilver and HeartGold in.
But I have an imported japanese HeartGold.
So anyone's opinions on the game thus far? Pokemon collected? pokewalker progress?
details details people!

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

I like the fact that your poke's follow you...
Gym leader rematches provided something to do everyday...along with the usual swarms
I <3 Bug catching contest
...The getting starters after beating red is cool

These added alot of cool things, just like the originals, and I had a good time with em. Those were just some of the highlights that are sticking out in my head atm...

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

I was *forced* to trade in my HG.. but I got DQ9 and a pre-order for the new Golden Sun game.. Plus I'm totally planning on getting SS and Black when it comes out.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

-smacks the insolent one for trading in the HG-

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

HEY! It was either that, or not get, in my opinion, one of the greatest games EVER to come out on the DS, even though it's been out for like, a month or so. Besides. I've got Gold, Silver, and Crystal on GBC. Beat that.

Re: Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
 

I have all the games plus duplicates, mainly from friends not playing anymore, plus I pick them up when i see them at tag sales, they still sell for a pretty penny

3 Blue versions
4 Red versions
1 Green Version (yeah right, like I was gonna order more then one >_>)
