In all honesty? i haven't really liked it after gen 2 came out.
I must have spent every day since FRLG was announced in japan ranting and raving about a 2nd gen remake, being my personal favorite of the series.
A few new features and a great story. A dick rival that you couldn't help but love in spite of his flaws, and 98 new and great pokemon. Slugma and Macargo not so much.
then gen 3 comes out and does away with naming your rival, and having him be a dick to you, in favor of a more kid friendly rival you couldn't name because they felt the game would be embarrassed if you named him Barney the Dinosaur.
The frlg was remotely tolerable, though some parts of it were still incredibly annoying.
I had long since lost hope when diamond and pearl came out. So needless to say i wasn't disappointed at all!
Then finally we get the gen 2 remake and my need to kill myself has been hindered long enough to wait for the american release.
Then i found out something that made me want to kill myself again. They replaced Kris. then to add insult to injury they put in a cameo appearance of her in the game.
Then i wanted to kill myself and them when i first "met" Soul. She's like the worst characteristics of the worst two female characters of the main series, may and dawn, combined.
Kris was essentially what every girl wanted to be back then. She wasn't some girly girl trying to keep her skirt from flying up and hiding from every little rattata, she wasn't some bad ass action girl either. She was a girl who could take care of herself without someone holding her hand the whole way(more than can be said for some male characters these days) while still being feminine enough to relate to. Soul is a damsel in distress trying to act like she can take care of herself. And she's ugly on top of that. Very ugly.
That being said, the best pokemon in my opinion is Raikou. I always loved him. And for the record, i'd like to point out that Suicune Entei and Raikou are not infact dogs. They're based on mythical creatures that were actually closer related in appearance to foxes or mountain lions. But raikou was awesome looking while still being something you'd find someone cuddling at night. Entei and Suicune didn't have that really.

Have to agree with that. Also my other favourites are tyranitar, skarmory and shedinjanotaflamingo said:
It may just be the way I raised my Empoleon, but I'm pretty proud to say he can survive 3 earthquakes without going down. He's also steel type, so steel and thunder moves are nowhere near as effective as you would think they are. I wouldn't be to worried about toxic though, I typically keep myself pretty stocked for any emergencies.IdealistCommi said:
side note: is it sad to be proud of the way you've trained a video game character?

Charizard, I mean it's a dragon...with its tail on fire. It's just awesome.
Although I would also say that the Pikachu in Yellow is awesome for being able to walk.
It's National Pokedex time, mothers!
