Introduction
I've been a fan since Gen I, but near the end of Gen II, I lost interest. After seeing Beautifly, I figured Nintendo had run out of Template:P2, so I skipped Ruby and Sapphire, but the remakes of Gen I brought me back. Thanks to FireRed and LeafGreen, I also invested a little time checking out Gen III Pokemon, and came to the realization, that some of them were actually Template:P2 Template:P2. As for Gen IV, well, I wasn't going to jump in, but after a friend of mine did first, I decided, why not? That and Magnezone...I couldn't resist Magnezone...ok, and Wi-Fi.
Honestly, the best part of the game is battling right? Beating my friends gets old fast. These days, I'm the Template:Type2 gym leader and admin at The IPGL as well as an admin here at the wiki. I love battling, and I welcome any challenge, so, bring it on.
Interesting Stuff
Meanwhile, there's a less friendly sub-page sitting way down below...
To Do list
Action Replay
There's been some discussion about these things...I'd like to say that I havent experienced anything weird or wrong with mine (unless I did it myself). I'd also like to say that I haven't simply filled my game with all the Pokemon just to fill my Pokedex, I only modify what's available to me. If someone wants to battle online, I will NOT use any hacked Pokemon (unless you really want too). Also, if someone wants to trade, I only trade non-hacked stuff (unless someone wants something ridiculous like a Celebi or Arceus, and even then, I rarely do that for just anyone).
Event Magnemite
I'm think an event Magnemite that knows Levitate would be way more awesome than a stupid Manaphy or Mew. So, if you want one, I may just start taking orders...
Magnemite Talk
|
|
Not that it isn't painfully obvious, but I have an unhealthy obsession with Magnemite...though thankfully not as unhealthy as some people when it comes to other Pokemon like Pikachu or Gardevoir...but first, the eternal question, why do I like Magnemite so much?? Well, back when I played my Blue version, I got my Pikachu in Viridian Forest and trained it and evolved it and went on my way. Well, when I went to the Power Plant, I heard the sound...yes, the sound of Magnemite! The sound itself made me want one, it was just too funny! Not only that, but it just looks so ridiculous! How could you not like him?? I got one, trained it to Lv.100 (as a Magnemite, I didn't evolve it) and the rest is history..
It has come to my attention that people think I hate Pikachu and Gardevoir, well I do hate Pikachu, but, not really Gardevoir. I'm merely making a reference to people who take their "love" of their favorite Pokemon a little too far. These two came to mind first thanks to whats on the net. I won't go into details because this is a family show...
As the sole member of the Magnemite Fan Club, I've come up with tons of questions about the little guy and his counterparts.
There hasn't been any explanation as to why the Magneton of Snap, the Stadium games, R/B, and G/S/C aren't actually linked. The stadium games and Snap show this the most. They look more like 3 Magnemite friends.
There's also the case of Magneton having different sized magnets. The various cards show that the most. Also, Ethan's Magneton. I can ignore the stupid looking bent magnets, but they are really tiny.

MAGNEDETH: are you trying to tempt me?
Glinn: Because I come from the land of plenty?
MAGNEDETH: so you come from a land down under?
Glinn: Where woman glow and men plunder (damn convicts!)
MAGNEDETH: cant you hear? cant you hear the thunder?
Glinn: You better run, you better take cover...
Glinn: Well, let's just say everyone that's annoying never existed, we would never know what annoying people are like, hence not knowing what annoying is.
MAGNEDETH: would that be a bad thing?
Glinn: We wouldn't know!
MAGNEDETH: given the fact humans have different personalities, and different variations on "annoying" itd be literally impossible for it to not exist.
Glinn: Is that a good thing?
MAGNEDETH: we wouldn't know!
Glinn: Exactly.
Glinn: Wait, what?

Teams
WORK IN PROGRESS!!
My teams follow a simple pattern.
- Starter
- Flyer
- Magnemite
- Surfer
- Earthquake-er
- HM slave/Powerhouse
Certain Pokémon get placed in the same position. However, Flygon on my Sapphire team is a good example of how this isn't always the case. I don't know why or how I started doing things this way, but, it's nice to be organized. It should be noted though that this doesn't mean I'm going to send the same Pokémon out first every time if you battle me online.
Gen I
|
Blue
Back in the day when legendaries we're the only way to go and if you didn't have a Mewtwo, you were a nobody. I had an Articuno (named "Icy") which was mostly for Flying, but, also good for beating Lance. Megamite is a Level 100 Magnemite, and the rest are what you'd expect.
Level 255
Thanks to the Missingno. glitch, You can get one hell of a team by trading with friends.
Red
THIS GAME HAS BEEN LOST. I started with Squirtle.
|
Gen II
|
Silver
With the introduction of a new generation, we got the opportunity to play with 100 new species of Pokémon. Buuut, I was a naive young boy who still insisted on using legendaries...however, I did move up to a Magneton. Ho-oh had Fly and T-tar was pretty crappy. But he was cool looking.
Gold
THIS GAME HAS BEEN LOST. I FOUND IT!! But, sitting under the dresser for a few years hasn't done it any favors. I might have to restart it. I'll leave the memories of the old one below.
All I remember was starting with Totodile, having another Magneton, stealing it's Ho-ho (see above), and Porygon2 was on the team.
|
Gen III
|
Sapphire
This is actually the second team, as this game was restarted. The first time around was pretty bad, but I made sure I knew the score this time around. I planned the team ahead of time, and then left a spot open for a hacked Crawdaunt knowing 4 HMs.
LeafGreen
Like above, this is the second team. This was my first Pokémon game since Silver, three years prior. I knew nothing about natures and EVs, so, it was a mess. Second time around, I hacked a Scyther with Fly and a Kingler with any other HM I needed. It didn't dawn on me until after I trained Scyther that there was actually a good Flying-type in Gen I. Dodrio. Oh Well. The others are legit.
Emerald
A friend of mine has been shipped off to Iraq. Godspeed to him. He gave me his Emerald. Team to come.
TEMP TEAM - will beat the game, harvest legendaries, and then re-start.
Hoenn sucks in terms of Pokemon choice. I milked it for all it was worth with my Sapphire team, but when I was given an Emerald, I had to quick think of a team to fill it in. None of the Gen III Pokemon flow well enough with Swampert to make a good team of them. Granted, that's a giant opinion. So to respond to this, I used my XD team (except Vaporeon) because they never got to see a real RPG. Houndour will have to be hacked in, but, that doesn't bother me because he will be unfortunately missing out on my GSDS team. This team utilizes two Water-types for two reasons. First, Swampert can't effectively use Water-type attacks, and secondly, there's too damn many Water-type HMs in Gen III. The whole team can be seen as a sort of Glass Cannon. Dodrio, Houndoom, and Breloom all lack serious defense, and in the case of Breloom, pack some nasty weaknesses. Magneton and Starmie aren't exactly sponges either. But, in any case, it should prove fun.
XD
TEMP TEAM - Game is slated for restart.
|
Gen IV
|
Diamond
This is my team for used in the story. Beating gyms, E4, etc. I have rarely used it in battles against anyone. Magnemite and Porygon had to be traded over because they aren't in the Sinnoh Dex. I don't really like any of the Sinnoh starters (Torterra is cool, but, I'd never use him) but I chose Infernape simply because it was useful and fit into the team. However, thanks to that annoying monkey sound, I almost replaced him. Very annoying. Magnezone and Garchomp are used in other teams and Porygon-Z does see occasional online use.
Titanium Gym
Battle this team HERE.
GSDS
it's inevitable...unfortunately, im having lots of trouble nailing down a good team...if you dont think you can make a good team, checking out my thoughts here will probably give you a boost. i put lots of thought into my teams, however, i always pick favorites, as in, i rarely use a Pokemon i dont like. Pokemon in BOLD are definitely IN. Pokemon in Italics have a good chance.
- Typhlosion - HAIRY BACK (i cant wait to team up with Ty again)
- Togekiss/Gliscor? (stupid Fly and its necessaryness ruining a potentially excellent move set)
- Magnezone - MAGNEDETH
- Kingdra - BARNEGET (a true Gen II can't be turned down...or can it? (see T-tar below))
- Weavile/Tyranitar? (do i need a Dark-type? damn you 4x weak to Fighting!!)
- Heracross - ROADHOUSE (took me forever to think of a name for him, but, this could work well.)
-Personal Bickering-
if Herracross is not in, then Pinsir must be in, but that means i wont have a Dark-type. although, i dont NEED a Bug-type, and a Dark-type would be more useful. if i put in Weavile, i wont need Mamoswine, but i WILL need Gliscor. however, if i put in Togekiss, it would even out my physical/special ratio. but i could do that by swapping Kingler and Starmie. but Starmie has 3 more weaknesses than Kingler, though Kingler has very bad Sp. Def, and even a strong Crabhammer would be resisted by a defensive Rock-type, then theres the matter that Kingler cant effectively use Surf!
after much deliberation, i had to cut Kingler due to Surf. because of that, it created a domino effect. with Starmie in, it evens out the special/physical balance which means Togekiss has less of a chance. but its not a guarantee. im a sucker for raw power, and Mamoswine has tons of it. the only problem is that id still like a good Dark-type, and Weavile seems to be the only one...i cant use Houndoom because of Typhlosion, Honchkrow is too weak, Umbreon is defense based, and Tyranitar has a crap-ton of weaknesses and he's very slow.
never thought id consider Crobat or Dodrio. turns out their stats are actually very usable. unfortunately, they only fit into the Mamoswine equation as a replacement for Gliscor. that being said, im trying as hard as i can to get Mamoswine in there, but this lack of good Dark-type is very annoying. i may not use a Dark-type after all.
uh oh. i just realized that most of these guys wont evolve until i get the National Dex, or, after the Elite 4. some of them are pretty bad in their old forms, this could spell disaster..
ive decided to ignore the previous statement and look at it in another light. first off, id really like to stick with Johto only Pokemon. second, Heracross is faster than Machamp and learns Megahorn. third, Weavile's speed makes him an excellent Dragon killer. lastly is Gliscor who takes over for Mamoswine. i like Mamoswine's better-than-it-should-be speed, but i dont like its lack of resistances, and lack of useful Physical Ice-type attacks. on top of that, Sneasel and Gligar are entirely usable. im not saying Piloswine isnt, but, it goes right back to lack of moves. this is not final, and anything could change though.
well, its been months since ive been able to edit this page, and yet, i still have no idea what my GSDS team will be.
after month of deliberating, i have decided that Herracross will be in. No Guard is too risky and Hitmonchan has a poor single player move pool (that being said, ill add it to a multiplayer team!). in this time, i also decided that T-tar is going to be possible after all, but, it's still anyone's guess. meanwhile, Togekiss is back on the board as well. i think im making this harder for myself. truth be told, Gliscor will most likely be in due to its useful dual-type on the team. and Weavile makes a good case too. massive attack stat combined with super speed. that will be really helpful against Lance. i also started re-thinking Starmie, but, for now, its in.
oh crap, Kingdra. i completely forgot. i like the idea of him over Starmie because hes from Gen II. meanwhile, ive been rethinking Weavile. the only thing keeping him in there is his awesomeness against the likes of Claire and Lance. but, i cant easily pair Ice-type with anything. its further complicated if i need to keep a Sneasel around until i get a National Dex. also, Crobat and Dodrio have been officially cut. Crobat was a thought, but, Poison-types just arent useful enough to constitute a place on my team. (Nidoking the exception because hes part Ground-type). given the teams current special/physical split, it sort of ensures Gliscor will be in. however, it comes back to the Johto Dex/Nation Dex fiasco. given the lack of announcement, i thankfully still have time. keep watching this spot for new info! (if you care)
Starmie was in for so long, but, the power of Gen II prevails. Kingdra stays. Weavile and Gliscor are still TBD. Mamoswine also gets the cut because he's in the same pool as the other two non-true Gen IIs. i dont feel like having him lie around as a Piloswine. Sneasel is tolerable, but Gligar isnt. uh-oh..
its been awhile, but, without knowledge of National Dex getting, im still unsure, but, i have a feeling ill end up using a Gligar for a while. yuck. but, having a T-tar on your team throwing up a Sand Stream in every battle would get old really fast. but again, no final decision. in other news, i found out that Typhlosion has a REALLY bad special movepool. that sucks, but, im still determined to use him, so i will.

No real story here, it was my Blue starter, liked him since.
|
Yea, but, I haven't used him much. Poison is a slightly useless type.
|
| Nidoking
|
|
|
He's just awesome. You got him early and could use him late. That, and just look at him, look! Oh wait, you can't, because he will kill you if you make eye contact.
|
Of course! He isn't as useful as he was, and he's Poison, but, who cares? Nidoking rocks!
|
| Arcanine
|
|
|
I never realized how much i liked him until Gen III because I started with Blue, and, he wasn't in it. Besides, big giant puppy! It's like a way less stupid Clifford!
|
Yea...but...is Fire Fang the best they can give us? (I don't like Template:M2). But, he is a giant puppy, and that's awesome.

Giant Crab. Giant claws. Another beast...and it walks sideways! Weeee!! If it weren't for that pathetic Special Defense...
|
THANK YOU GEN IV SPLIT!! As soon as I heard of the physical/special split, Kingler was #1 on my mind. Who wants some? My Kingler is ready to rock!
|
| Pinsir
|
|
|
HE'S A WALKING GUILLOTINE!! If he were real, I bet he would murder people for fun.
|
Oh yes. Thanks to Gen IV, he explodes out of the gate thanks to X-Scissor, and can commence a serious beat down.
|
| Gyarados
|
|
|
A true Gen I beast. We were too young to care about stats, he just looked awesome. But heck, he had the stats anyway.
|
Well, he did, in Gen I, but, the split ruined him. He became a powerhouse without a STAB. Of course, Gen IV changed that, so, now, he's been promoted to the gym team.
|
| Porygon
|
|
|
The sound it makes was the real attention grabber, its awesome! Then appearance for another of course, the unrounded edges. And finally, the sheer hilarity of it all.
|
Oh yes, especially given we get Porygon-Z in the end. That and, how could you NOT like Porygon?? Oh wait...
|
| Snorlax
|
|
|
It's not so much him as it is that I have a bunch of Lv.147s...
|
To be honest, not really. It's hard to like him when hes playing for the other team (tanks). The original appeal to me was Lv.147. But hey, he is fat and lazy, and that's funny.
|
| Mewtwo
|
|
|
Oh come on, not like you didn't see this coming. As a Gen I guy myself, he was the bees knees. Destroyed everything.
|
More legendaries have come, but still, to me anyway, Mewtwo is right there with all of them. Even Arceus.

| Typhlosion
|
|
|
Another awesome Pokemon given to you for free, and he doesn't have that nasty Template:Type2 to bother him with extra weakness.
|
Thanks to him only being seriously available in G/S/C, I've found him to be a "want what you can't have" and that makes me like him more. Didn't wear out his welcome.
|
| Xatu
|
|
|
No particular reason, he looks cool and he sounds cool.
|
Meh. He has stayed the same. Looks cool, I still like his cry, but don't have much use for him.
|
| Flaaffy
|
|
|
SHEEP!!! It's a sheep, AND a Pokémon!! Him and Mareep, the look, the sound, just hilarious.
|
On a strict novelty only basis, oh yes. He is still a sheep, and he still sounds hilarious. But, when he evolves, it's all over.
|
| Unown
|
|
|
I don't know why. They are so weird and funny, if only they were useful.
|
Yea, but, again, not useful. Maybe they need an evo of some sort..
|
| Pineco
|
|
|
It's a pine cone, AND a Pokémon!! WHAT A HILARIOUS CONCEPT!! Seriously, Pineco is awesome.
|
Of course. I won't use one, nor its evo, Forretress, but, that doesn't mean I can't like them!
|
| Steelix
|
|
|
Being the intro for Steel, Nintendo needed a good first show, and here he is. Looks awesome, sounds awesome, and is way better than Onix.
|
He will wall the hell out of physical attacks, but, he's not overly useful otherwise. But, he still looks and sounds good.
|
| Scizor
|
|
|
Another crazy new Steel-type, and they pulled it off. Excellent stats (except Speed) but hey, if he did have more Speed, he would be unstoppable.
|
I always wanted to use one, but, thanks to a lack of good movepool, I couldn't. Whats this? Iron Head? X-Scissor? A Steel-type gym leader position? FATE.
|
| Houndoom
|
|
|
Another Gen II type intro. This time, the Dark intro, and he fits the bill easily. Hellgar.
|
I never had a use for him, but, I've forced him into a few teams, he's too awesome to ignore.
|
| Tyranitar
|
|
|
All my friends were still playing with Dragonite, but when I stumbled upon a Larvitar, I knew it was bound for greatness. Rock Slide to your Dragonite! And even a Crunch for Mewtwo!
|
Yes, but, with the resurgence of Template:Type2, more notably, special fighters like Lucario, he is in danger. But who cares?? He's awesome!

|
| Blaziken
|
|
|
Unique type combo (at the time) and great stats. It's also the most useful Template:Type2 in Hoenn (well, that may be a matter of opinion). Flaming kick to the face. BAM!!
|
Oh sure. Infernape tried to dethrone, but failed (in my opinion anyway) so, Blaziken continues to work his magic.
|
| Gardevoir
|
|
|
No, not like that, this is merely battle wise. She is like an Alakazam only, with Defense.
|
On the downside, shes a Template:Type2, and I'm not a big fan of them...but, she can still kick some tail (just don't search the net for pics of her, trust me...).
|
| Breloom
|
|
|
The fact he evolves from a pod-like blob of grass is great. Then you've got his immense Attack and you win!
|
Oh yes. I've forced him into my Gen III teams, and even made a Gen IV battler out of him.
|
| Trapinch
|
|
|
It's an ant with a huge head! HILARIOUS!!! And while its slow as molasses, its got a heck of a bite.
|
It is what it is, and it evolves into Vibrava who is pretty cool, but, not as cool as its final stage...
|
| Flygon
|
|
|
A big, friendly killer. What's not to like? Very straightforward stats, and while im not a fan of Dragons, he's still great.
|
Doesn't exactly compete with Garchomp but, Flygon is still awesome. a great Template:M2 in Gen III.
|
| Armaldo
|
|
|
Powerful and extremely underrated. Most fossil Pokémon struggle to be overly useful, but, Armaldo shows them whats what.
|
Unfortunately, his awful Speed holds him back some, but, it doesn't mean I can't like him.
|
| Walrein
|
|
|
A useful Water/Ice-type. Really came in handy in Gen III as a better-than-most Water-type. Anyone for Template:P2
|
He's too slow and has a limited movepool to be seriously used competitively, but, in single play, he's still good.
|
| Metagross
|
|
|
I know a lot of people like him, but, whats not to like? Massively powerful, few weaknesses, and he just looks awesome.
|
As a Template:Type2 leader, he has a permanent place on my team. I can't think of one reason to get rid of him. I even use him in my non-gym team sometimes.
|
| Rayquaza
|
|
|
I'm not much of a legendary guy, but he's awesome. Deadly stats, looks awesome, sounds awesome, whats not to like?
|
The sub-par defenses (compared to other legends) I suppose, but, who cares? Kill! Maim! Destroy!
|

| Torterra
|
|
|
He's got a tree on his back, that's hilarious!!
|
Meh, I don't generally use Template:Type2s, and he is no exception. He is also immensely slow (as he should be, being a turtle), but, like Pineco, I still like him regardless.
|
| Staraptor
|
|
|
Finally, a regional bird thats useful! Seriously, we haven't had a good early bird since Pidgeot, and even so, Pidgeot mildly sucks.
|
Of course, being regional, it's hard to use him anywhere else, but, I'm sure I'll find a way.
|
| Garchomp
|
|
|
If you're surprised, then go away. I quite like the Template:Type2 so, it's really a no-brainer.
|
Actually, it is, as I really don't like the Template:Type2, but Garchomp tears down that wall of hate, and tell me to like him or die, so, you know..
|
| Drapion
|
|
|
Now this guy can hurt, and he is hard to hurt. That is how you use a Template:Type2.
|
Well, it may cover most of his weaknesses, it doesn't cover the fact Poison is sort of useless. But, this guy still rocks.
|
| Magnezone
|
|
|
...and after all those years, he's back, deadlier than ever.
|
Some people ask me if I'm happy with this new Mag-lution. How do i respond to that? Seriously?
|
| Yanmega
|
|
|
An evolution of Yanma? Why should I care? Oh right, the usefulness, and awesomeness.
|
I initially trained Yanmega just to see whats what, I never realized I'd like him so much to keep him around. Nintendo did it, they finally made Template:Type2s useful!
|
| Gliscor
|
|
|
Gligar was the first with the awesomely unique Ground/Flying combo, but he was useless, and then Gliscor shows up and wins.
|
While he doesn't hit as hard as some other Ground-types and his STABs are entirely TM based, he's still good enough to be a type outliner on my gym team, so, there ya go.
|
| Porygon-Z
|
|
|
Porygon is cooler, but Z has so much Special Attack, he could spare some for the poor. But he won't, he'll just destroy you.
|
Of course. He's a great guy, good editor, and good admin too. Does a good job running the IPGL, and...oh wait...wrong Porygon-Z..
|
| Gallade
|
|
|
I bet, if Pokémon were real, he would run into a party, cut all the girls' dresses off, destroy the furniture, and then take all the beer with him as he leaves. Awesome.
|
Oh yes. He takes the properties of Medicham, makes them less stupid, and here he is, ready to destroy.
|
| Giratina
|
|
|
What is he? I'm not sure, but I can tell you that he's big, he's ugly, and downright devastating.
|
Again, I'm not a legendary guy, so, I haven't used him much, but, doesn't mean I can't appreciate his awesomeness form afar.
