[QUOTE=Vmonkey;39277797]If Alakazam is so smart, why can't he talk? He can say his own name, but can't learn new languages? Mewtwo can do it, sure it's powerful but the pokedex says that Alakazam has an outrageously high IQ, it should be able to learn language[/QUOTE]
Always thought it was a physical limitation, personally. perhaps their larynx/etc. isn't set up for that kind of thing, with it being so-named because the vocalizations it can make sounding similar to the word 'Alakazam'.

Underdeveloped vocal chords?

IQ is a poor measure of intelligence overall. You can do extremely well on an IQ test but be completely illiterate or "stupid" in general. Also, you can't give animals or pokemon IQ tests because they measure ability to complete tests against other individuals (I believe they base it off of age usually).
Could be that they are anatomically unsuited for speech other than saying his own name. Doesn't Mewtwo just shoot the words into people's heads telepathically?
If I were to crack open a human's head and cut out their broca's region they wouldn't be able to talk but might be able to pass an IQ test nearly as well as before.
[QUOTE=Jorori;39276559]If they ever do that, I'd prefer something like what they did in Stadium 1 and 2: make the cries much more realistic, but still similar to the original ones.[/QUOTE]
I'm fine with how they are. It would be nice if they did that for anything before Generation III, though. At the very least they could slightly differentiate cries that are exactly the same, like Rhyhorn and Charizard.
[QUOTE=rrunyan;39278210]Those things sound fucking badass.
Whoever came up with that might be the most original mind in Pokemon.

Also with the legnendary trios i have noticed in the anime they always go "a regirock" rather than plain "regirock".
Are there multiple of the trios in existence canon wise? Because the wording always sort implies that others do exist.
(i don't watch the anime much, last time i did follow it was during gen 2 era)
As for my favorite Dragon-type, I'll let this mirror I did for my art class the other day speak for itself.

Maybe it's like Chewbacca; he's smart enough to comprehend other languages, but his vochal chord structure prevents him from making the proper sounds.
[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;39279048]what are YOU talking about
it says the pokemon forgot the move when you delete it[/QUOTE]
I always wondered how they do this
do they like repeatedly punch said pokemon until they forget or what
[QUOTE=trollbuster;39278299]If those psychic freaks were any smart they'd be able to learn more than 4 moves[/QUOTE]

Yes, multiples of certain legendaries are implied to exist.
From the show I remember that there were 2 Articunos living in two completely different areas, (unless they just so happened to be the same one), a trainer owned a Regice, and Lugia had a child, meaning that there are at least more than 1. Can't recall any other examples though.

It's not so bad in doubles/triples, just use Entrainment, Worry Seed, Gastro Acid or Simple Beam on it and voilá.
That or make an already slow special attacker use Skill Swap on it.
Had a game of Ruby going I've played in doctors offices and the like for a long while now and just beat the elite four today. Went in pretty underleveled with 5 hyper potions and a few berries, came out victorious.

Substitute + Rock Polish seems like it could make him a viable option. Then again, most teams have something to get rid of set-up sweepers
I'm surprised

And according to the info about the sixteenth movie to be coming out, there's 5 or 6 Genesect as well.

Probably the main one and another one for each of the Discs that change his Techno Blast's type.
[QUOTE=GastricTank;39283295]Probably the main one and another one for each of the Discs that change his Techno Blast's type.[/QUOTE]
Yep, 4 genesects with a different disc each and a shiny one (With probably no disc, or maybe a new disc which will be released in Gen VI)

in the anime, Ashe runs into a shiny Suicune upon stepping foot into Johto, he also meets a regular one later in the series.
Idk about the regi's, but he's also helped out multiple Lugia, as well as several different Zapdos'

There's multiple legendaries in the game as well: A couple of the trainers in White treehollow use Thundurus but you're still able to catch them
you guys forgetting Kyogre and Groudon in HG/SS?
So that makes two of them. Or Two of one, how ever you want to see it.

and I know that around 100 wins in Battle Tower in third gen, you start seeing Latios in every match.
kinda dumb, really.
"its legendary but everyone that is someone has 5"
I decided to get black 2 or white 2 even though i got black like three months ago, and i'm not sure witch version to get, are there any screenshots of how the black/white bars in-battle look? that's pretty much the deal breaker for me
just get black 2

Thank you
Also, this is the team i'm planning to use after beating the elite four:

And to fill the last two slots im thinking of using either Aggron and Chandelure or possibly Reuniclus/Sigilyph (one or the other)
Should I actually give Pokemon B/W a chance? Or should I just wait until Pokemon X/Y? I don't mind half the pokemon in black/white, I just never really showed much interest in it.
do it it's great
