M' evolves into Kangaskhan, Missingno doesn't evolve at all. Anyway, M' evolving into Kangaskhan is due to a quirk of index numbers and nothing else (Kangaskhan being the very second Pokémon programmed into the game, after Rhydon). I never really understood the "Cubone is Kangaskhan" theory...

The cards appear to be describing attacks, rather than Pokémon. The Lickitung one describes Defense Curl, Venomoth's describes Psybeam, Mewtwo's is Psychic, Rattata's shows Tail Whip, etc. If anyone wants, I can have a go at translating these, but like others I've never seen these type of cards...

On my first playthrough of Yellow, I only had a Caterpie, a Pidgey, and of course, Pikachu by the time I reached Pewter City. I was summarily creamed by Brock countless times. It got to the point where I was so furious at the game that I swore I'd never play Pokémon again, and I let the...

Re: What would you do if you encounterd a wild Aggron or Tyranitar? I would marvel at my unfathomably bad luck. Then become dead.

The canon never really goes into depth about what exactly makes a Pokémon a Pokémon, but by and large it seems that once something has the right qualities, that something (animate or otherwise) can become a Pokémon, a la Grimer. I always figured Porygon as a similar take on the same story as...

When I was young and naive, I had a penchant for giving most of my Pokémon in Red/Blue very simple nicknames consisting of part of the Pokémon's name and ending in -y. Thus Spearow became Speary, Ditto became Ditty, Haunter became Haunty, Kabutops was Topsy, et cetera. This worked fine until I...

I usually just put maple syrup on mine, but often I'll dab some cream cheese on them as well.

I'm not sure yet. Logically, I should get White 2, as I have White now, but I'm leaning slightly more towards Black 2 instead, to change things up. Which one I go with will also depend on which version of Kyurem you get in each game, which I'm not entirely clear on. I'm assuming you get Black...

I do love the old Gen I and II cries because of nostalgia, but I do think it's time to update them. Yes they have an old-school charm that hearkens back to the "old days" of Pokémon, but they just sound really out of place now. Let's face it, the designers did the best they could with the...

It's part of the reason I don't play any games online. I feel that online play with strangers tends to degenerate into an ego-stroking session. As a casual gamer, I am generally always going to be less skilled than "hardcore" gamers who often seem to relish in rubbing their superiority in the...

I don't take them at 100% face value (Magcargo's being hotter than the surface of the sun I take as hyperbole) but I do think there's an element of truth to them. The way I see it, Pokémon's behaviour in-game is at the complete mercy of game mechanics, so whilst Pidgeot may have been originally...

I have an Ancient Mew card as well (though I wonder as to its rarity now considering so many of us have one, lol), and a few first edition cards from the first Gen (dunno how rare those are, if at all). I had those 23K gold cards as well, but I have no idea if I still have them or not (pretty...

Not that this would be a big seller or anything, but I've always fancied the idea of creating my own Pokémon manga, which would basically follow the stories set forth in the games, but intermixed with my own experiences in playing them (that is, the games as they would've been seen through the...

Re: Do Yo Think Pre-Ordering Japanese Pokemon Games is Right or Does it Kinda Spoil i Yes, I did read what you said. You said: There. I read it once more. Believe me, I do see where you're coming from, but my point still stands. Yes, I used myself as an example, but I never said that was the...

Re: Do Yo Think Pre-Ordering Japanese Pokemon Games is Right or Does it Kinda Spoil i What is or isn't a waste of money is only for the person spending the money to decide. If the person in question enjoys the game, and it fulfilled whatever expectations he/she had of it, then it's not a...
