I'm not really sure what to say here, but I do enjoy playing Pokemon casually. Pokken Tournament is also fun as well.

Ar-see-us was actually the intended English pronunciation; it's used by the in-game announcer in Pokémon Battle Revolution on the Wii, which was released several years before Arceus was officially revealed but is compatible with all gen 4 Pokémon. It's believed to have been changed once it was officially revealed because it had "arse" in it. Ark-ee-us makes enough sense, but I still think Ar-see-us sounds better.

Also I guess venus fly trap + dinosaur makes sense, though I'll probably keep saying Venn-uh-saur.

How do you make your own team aside from building a team that covers all the weakness of each Pokemon? When I make my own Pokemon team, I always have Fire, Water, Grass, Fighting, Psychic and Electric type in each Pokemon teams I do. When one type is replaced by another type, (e.g. Ground type is replaced by Psychic type) I'm always knocked down by trainers. Any tips for me?

Here's my tip for you, add some variety to your 6 member Pokemon team. That's what i do

Is anyone excited about Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? Although the games look well-made, I don't really care about them.

When I was a kid, I pronounced Rayquaza as "Ray-kway-za", but started pronouncing it as "Ray-kwa-za" because that's how all my friends pronounced it. Silly me, I had it right the first time, but I felt like people would try to correct me if I prounounced it as "Ray-kway-za", and I didn't want to put up with it.

Try to choose types that have fewer weaknesses in general (and weaknesses of move types not very many Pokémon have), such as electric, ghost, dark, fighting, dragon, and steel-types. Try to also give your Pokémon versatile movesets and items with multiple types of moves and don't use HM slaves. (For example my Gardevoir in Emerald has Calm Mind, Flash, Shock Wave, and Psychic). I like to balance my Pokémon with one HM/field move, one status attack, and two differently-typed damaging attacks. Also in general I just grind up to five levels above what other trainers are at for gyms and Elite Four

I don't usually do level grinding, that's maybe the reason why I only rely on type match-ups, although I keep my Pokémons only 5 levels below on what trainers use in early game and 10 levels below in late game. I also have HM slave, usually water type, in all of my teams. I'll try to follow what you've said. Thanks for the tip!

I was the same way, and I actually use both pronunciations from time to time. The same goes for Arceus, although I prefer ARRRRRR-C-Us, especially when I want to sound like a British pirate.

So happy rn.

Finally beat the Elite Four and Champion in Emerald.

My final team:

Sceptile Lv. 55 (Leaf Blade, Giga Drain, Screech, Rock Smash)
Aggron Lv. 55 (Double Edge, Earthquake, Iron Tail, Iron Defense)
Mightyena Lv. 54 (Strength, Crunch, Howl, Roar)
Gardevoir Lv. 55 (Flash, Calm Mind, Shock Wave, Psychic)
Pelipper Lv. 54 (Stockpile, Spit Up, Surf, Fly)
Walrein Lv. 55 (Hail, Waterfall, Dive, Blizzard)

Just realized that having two water-type Pokemon in the party can prevent from having an HM slave.

It works quite nicely too since one's secondary type is Ice and one's is flying because then you have four HMs between the two plus two other moves for each of your choice

Here's my team for my Emerald playthrough and yes I grinded a lot, and used the Elite 4 to evolve Pokemon's for the pokedex and during my playthrough, I caught every single pokemon in each route to make my Dex progress easier, then I moved on.

Well rounded team overall. Great coverage, even with countermeasures against the types your team is more weak to, specifically the bug or fighting types where Walrein and Gardevoir can take them on respectively.

I got a great tip for anyone who's about to fight Jasmine in Pokemon Gold & Silver:

When you're fighting her deadly Steelix, use Fire type or Water type moves against it instead of Ground type or Fighting type moves, as Steelix has a weak Special defense stat. Was this helpful?

Posted: **Thu Oct 19, 2017 4:03 pm**

Well, what is better.. a weak special defense or having a poke that has a attack which is very effective against steelix?

I'd say.... a Pokemon with a Fire or Water move is more effective
