Pokemon Snap Updated For Virtual Console


Send pics of your Pokemon to friends.


November 30, 2007 - A new twist for Virtual Console owners will arrive in early December as Pokemon Snap arrives on the Japanese version of the service.

The classic 1999 N64 title, in which players take pictures of their Pokemon, will hit the service with a brand new feature for the Wii: the ability to send pics to friends. You'll be able to post your pics as messages to the Wii Message Board and send them along with comments to friends in your friend list.

Owners of the Japanese Wii can look forward to a slightly modified Virtual Console game on 12/4 for the standard N64 price of 1,000 Wii Points.

New Trainer

Hello everyone!

I responded to the "New Faces" post from October, but now I realize it's been swallowed into the bowels of history. Here's a short recap: thanks to Zero for the invitation; I'm new to Pokemon (working my way through Victory Road); and, I'm interested in some friendly games until I get a real team built.

As you can see from the gym list, I've been added to the Poison Gym. I don't have an official team yet, but I do have one in the planning stage. In the meantime, my Friend Code is posted in my profile if anyone feels like a battle!

Pokemon of the Day #3

Arceus

Multitype: Changes type to match the held Plate.

Max Stats (Beneficial Nature): Att-372|Def-372|SpAtt-372|SpDef-372|Speed-372
100 Judgment 100 100 10 --
Type changes depending on plate held

Flavour Text:
Diamond - It is described in mythology as the Pokémon that shaped the universe with its 1,000 arms.
Pearl - It is told in mythology that this Pokémon was born before the universe even existed.

Location:
Diamond - Only One - Hall of Origin
Pearl - Only One -Hall of Origin

I noticed this guy at the bottom of every page in the type-based pokedex, so I looked him up to see if it was a glitch.

H to the ATE

We haven't had a new topic in a few days, so I figured I'd start one up myself: Which Pokemon do you absolutely despise and think was a terrible idea? I'll go ahead and start by saying Shieldon and Bastiodon. At first I thought they looked awesome "Hey great! Two pokemon with big shields on them!" Then I tried using one. "Well it doesn't do much damage but it least doesn't take a lot. What's this? Someone's using a Fighting move on it? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Curse you, Rock/Steel, for being such a crappy typing.

Pokemon TFG Interview

... can be found on IGN.

Apparently, next series "Groundbreakers" is scheduled for this winter.

Get Together

So from this past weekend, it sounds people are itching to get together and try out some of the teams we've been working. Is there any day this week most people would be available to meet up, and if so where would we want to do it. Alternatively, should we try to set up a regular meeting day outside of the Sidebar's DS night?

Last Minute Get Together

It seems there's some interest in getting together tomorrow for some in-person battles. Who's interested, and what time/who's place works best?

Mario Paint

I know this is a Pokemon Blog. I was looking around on the old You Tube and found this. Sorry Pernell.

Adventures in Pokemon

After the general thrashing my ice team took on wifi last night, I decided I needed a cloyster badly. So after some iv breeding to get a good impish shellder, I then bred it with a kabuto that I bred to have rapid spin. After four shellder eggs, an impish shellder hatched, but not just any impish shellder...

It was a shiny impish shellder with the following ivs:
HP: 20/21
ATK: 2/3
DEF: 14/15
SP. ATK: 31
SP. DEF: (30/31)
SPD: 18/19

Now I wish the ATK stat was the one that had the +31, but I am just amazed at my good fortune.

When is DS Night?

Is this still going down? ... How about a heads up!

"So just one more reminder that DS Night will begin monthly starting on Wednesday (first date TBA) in November at the Sidebar Taven (www.sidebartavern.com) hosted by Entertainment System (www.myspace.com/entertainmentsystem). Matt and I will be bringing a TV with Battle Revolution so that we can have level adjusting for the Pokemon tourney. I'll be picking up a prize or two (don't expect anything very extravagant). I'll have a full rule list for the tournament soon but for now the two things in stone are no-legendaries and double battles only. See you in the funny pages!" - Chris

EV Training Hot Spots




With Pokerus and a Macho Brace, after giving you guys 10 vitamins, you will only need to battle 19 2EV Pokemon to max out one stat.
For an easy time getting EVs check out these hot spots I found:



[Attack Spot | Super Rod]
Gyarados - 2 Attack Point(s)
1) Fly to the Resort Area head North towards Rt 228.
2) Head West at the first road sign where the two trainers are.
3) Use the Super Rod to fish in the sea. You will only catch Gyarados.

[Speed Spot | Surf-Bike]
Poliwhirl - 2 Speed Point(s)
Poliwag - 1 Speed Point
1) Fly to the Resort Area head North towards Rt 228.
2) Pass the two trainers and cross the first patch of grass
3) Pass the road sign. You should be in a sandstorm now.
4) Ride your bike up the first ramp/sand slide you see.
5) Head West down the steps and Surf in the Pond.

[Special Attack Spot | Surf]
Golduck - 2 Sp. Attack Point(s)
1) Fly to the Resort Area and head south
2) Head East at the first intersection.
3) Surf in the pond with the tree standing in the middle.

[Defense Spot | Boat Ride]
Graveler - 2 Defense Point(s)
1)Fly to Canalave City
2)Head to the West side of the harbor and talk to the sailor
3)Sail to Iron Island.
4)Head up the steps, and enter the cave. Make the 1st left.
5)Most of the Pokemon here should be Graveler w/ very few Zubat.

[Special Defense Spot | Surf]
Tentacruel - 2 Sp. Defense Point(s)
1)Fly to Sunyshore City
2)Head to the North beach towards Victory Raod
3)Surf heading North and move away from the beach.
4)As you head out you should mostly see Tentacruel and very few Pelipper (2 Defense).


This should get you started. If anyone wishes to add to this try to maintain the format.

Personal Favorite

So just out of curiousity, what is everyone's favorite pokemon? Not most powerful (though that can certainly factor in) and not most popular, but which one do you generally just like the most? Mine has always been Hypno, since he was the powerhouse of my team back in the days of R/B. He's since been outperformed by many others, but I'll always have those memories of repeatedly whomping the E4 with my Hypno.
