I'll start:
Also so you guys know, I'm only 16 at the moment, so please keep that in mind date-wise and don't try to sexually harass me over the internet. I'm looking at you Berry.

That being said, this was in 2007, so at the time I was about 10 or 11, fun stuff.

Anyways, when Pokemon Battle Revolution was coming out, a lot of Gamestops were having Diamond/Pearl tournaments where you'd come and wirelessly battle in a tournament with Battle Revolution in a Colliseum-esque tourny. Also at the time, I had absolutely no idea what IVs, EVs or natures were, so I was going in pretty naive. My friend who came with me lost on round one, and I barley made it. After that, I had a showdown with some girl whose name I forgot, and both of our teams had a Mewtwo in them (who is evidently banned in official tournaments unbeknownst to us), and she was the one who moments ago defeated my buddy, so I'm charging in ready for revenge.

I forgot what happened in the beginning, but somehow it got down to Full-Health Mewtwo vs. Full-Health Mewtwo. I still remember the day before my friend kept telling me to take of Shadow Ball and replace it with Energy ball, but I insisted on keeping it the way it was. My opponent, unfortunately, was not so wise, and she ended up having to go for the Energy ball as I retaliated with a super-effective Shadow ball, and the dozen of people who were still there clapped for me as I finished her off with another, for once my pokemon battle felt genuinely epic, as overused as that word is.

After that I cleaned up until I went up against some larger guy with his finest neckbeard equipped who JUST SO HAPPENED to have caught a shiny Kyogre and shiny Groundon with great EVs that my team couldn't touch. Thankfully, he said he already bought the game, so he let take the First place prize of it while he got a T-Shirt, nice guy.]]>

Edit: There can be some lengthly explanations in this threads, so if you're worried that your post isn't getting answered, be patient and you'll eventually get an answer.

So I've been looking around the internet for any good 5th generation RNG reporters. The problem is, all the ones I find can't be downloaded properly. I have Windows 7, so does anybody know where I could find any for my computer, or am I out of luck?]]>

So, I took the liberty to make this.
If people want to battle, post your main team, alternative teams and work it out. Heck, if we have enough poke-people here, we could work out a tournament. I don't know what the prize'd be but its there.
Also, don't forget your friend code.

Suggestions for teams:

Playthrough teams
For the person who doesn't really care about IV and EV, just playing the game.

Multiple pokemon teams
Double, Triple, Rotation, the works.

Battle teams
For the serious individual

Baby Teams
Simple enough, hatch 6 pokemon eggs, all have to be level 1, and no move restrictions. Also, no evolutions. That way, we leave super eeveeloutions, and stone-evolutions out of there as they would've matured.

(I will put my codes up in a bit. Gotta do some stuff and was taking break)]]>

I've followed Pokémon from afar - shaking my head at ice-cream Pokémon whilst vehemently denying the fact that having a rat Pokémon called Rattata was pretty much the same level of originality - though haven't actually played a proper game in a long time.

What I'd like is a brief overview of changes that have occured over the times.
e.g. What the devil is IV/EV, nature, abilities, and so on and so forth ...?

Also, what do you dis/like about the changes ?

[spoiler]I will reverse-double-supersonic-ancestral-brunch-bitchslap anyone who says something like "omgzz00rdz 1st Gen wuz de Gr8T5t", "4.5st g3n iz fur babeiz", or "Do you even lift"[/spoiler]]]>

and then it hit me.

When I first beat black version a while after it came out and I got to go on that big bridge on the way back (the one where you buy magikarp), I see this couple looking off the bridge so I decide to see whats up. I talk to the girl and she disappears. Like the guy next to her, we're like wtf. I can't find any more evidence in the game so I forgot about it.

This is the same girl. I haven't been able to get to the bridge yet so I can't test this theory but I'm almost certain it's the same girl.

Sequels FTW
