It's kind of disappointing that its movepool is so bad. Its stats are actually on-par with Sharpedo, Lanturn and Lumineon's stats. Then again, there probably aren't a lot of moves that a fish can preform.

Sharpedo's isn't deep, but it knows what it wants to do - ie bite stuff - and does it magnificently. Does Lumineon even get half the skillset Basculin does, thinking about it? Out of the four mentioned fishes, it's the one that seems the most useless.

I think it does actually? I used a Lumineon once and I think it at least had Signal Beam or something weird like that. Admittedly, of those listed it is the most bland. Pretty much your average SPA Water attacker, though it does get a few support moves like Aqua Ring.

Lumineon has access to Ice Beam, Psybeam and Signal Beam. Its stats are more rounded than Sharpedo or Basculin's "We are fast and will bite you" stats. The only problem Lumineon has is the abundance of other water-types.

I don't know, only its speed and special defense are good, the rest of its stats being around the lower end of average. It'd see early game use if, say, there were no other options for Water types, but that's about it. Add that to it being just another fish and you can see why it's the most forgotten of the Sinnoh pokemon.

One day I hope to decipher the moon logic Gamefreak runs on and than I too shall produce a multi-billion dollar videogame franchise. That or just understand why they think loading up pokemon with moves that they can't possibly use to any real effect is a good idea.

Because one day, they hope, the final match of a major tournament will be decided by the winner using a mon with a moveset so far out of the norm that the opponent can't figure out how to counter it, most likely.

 #28. Little Touches   That tower, remember?   You were just now ready to hop in and go. What's your deal?  Eesh.  Choro Notes: If you remember, in Black/White there were a pair of kids in here who would tell you a secret if you could beat Skyla. They're still here . . .         Choro Notes: In the two years since Black, the little girl has become a lass and they have a Ducklett now. It's a cute little touch!  Cute. - - -   Music: Unova Route 6 Choro Notes: Not all NPCs give out the same TMs, however. In Black, this girl gives out the Charge Beam TM. Now she just comments on the balance beams.  Oh, great.  Nooo, I've got it this time. quote:
  Hmmmmmm . . .   Get an item, beat up a mushroom. Yup. - - -  Choro Notes: This is another house that has a callback to Black.   Choro Notes: In Black, Haley traded this same fellow a Boldore for an Emolga. Now he wants an Emolga for a Gigalith. Boldore EVOLVE by trade. Unfortunately, even with memory sync, the Gigalith doesn't have Haley's Trainer ID or anything. In addition, the girl in the house was originally a Lass with only one cottonee. Apparently she's gotten another and become an Ace Trainer! Good for her! - - -   . . .  Choro Notes: The rare monster that appears in this grotto is Cubchoo, oh well. Choro Notes: Mulch is Pokémon droppings. You can use it to affect your berry growth . . . in Sinnoh. Mulch has no effect in Gen5 as you can't grow berry plants. You can sell it for P100 OR . . .   Choro Notes: The Mulch Maniac at the end of Mistralton's runway will buy them for P1000 a shot.  . . . gross. - - -  Choro Notes: If you keep going north you'll reach the tower.  Choro Notes: But even though Twist Mountain is closed off you should still head that way.  This is a story from way back then." "Here's what they look like."    "Here's what Landorus looks like."  I see, I see.  Tornadus and Thundurus!"quote:Choro Notes: Thundurus, Tornadus & Landorus in Black2 - - -  REALLY? quote:
- - -  Choro Notes: The only monsters added to this area's wild encounters were Seviper and Zangoose. They're rare and I didn't see a single one.  Choro Notes: X-Scissor's still in the same spot. Noooone of my duders can learn it. Honk.    Outta the way, muscles.   Well shouldn't you be Eliting somewhere?  but I can't let you into Twist Mountain!" Choro Notes: For whatever reason, Marshal is the posted guard to Twist Mountain. I have no idea why. - - -   Yup, this is the place. The tower being a tower and all.  Music: Dragonspiral Tower  . . .    was built here."Well considering I didn't see a single ghost or psychic-type outside, I think they just live in the tower.  Completely ruined her. Was barely a challenge.   The plane flying was not dependent on me. You could have gone with her any time. Don't hold up research on my account.   Choro Notes: The Lucky Egg increases EXP gained for the holder. Normally it's only found rarely on wild Chansey but Prof. Juniper gives you one in both Black/White and Black2/White2.  Hey yeah, I'm gonna go ring the bell for Hugh's Purrloin. See you there.   Whoa! Inappropriate! This is a grave site!   Choro Notes: Fun fact: Because of Redjru's Adaptability ability, Aqua Tail will do more damage to this Musharna than a super effective Crunch would.   Very inappropriate.   See? Now playing with your ghost? That's fine. Because it's a GRAVE SITE.     You got a good outlook, kid. Hug that little candle close.  . . .     Well, alright. But remember this is a GRAVE SITE. Geez.   Choro Notes: Socialite Grace shows up in Black as well, you face her in Black City where she uses a Salamence.  Choro Notes: Oh . . .   Choro Notes: Sludge Wave is 5 points stronger than Sludge Bomb but only a 10% chance of poisoning the target. It also hits all surrounding monsters in multi-battle. I'm just sort of doubling up on poison because really I wasn't ever using Minimize.  Or is it better when you cannot forget?"That's really heavy.  Another TM, Another move nobody I have can use.     RIP Hugh's stupid dead cat.  Choro Notes: Black2 tries to treat gems like how Gen4 treated Arceus's plates but really it's not even close to the same.    Oh. Alberta's gone. WAS SHE A GHOST?! - - -   WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME.     . . . o-oh. You got bigger.  - - -  Oh, well it's good you came here to rest then. I wonder why that happened.  Choro Notes: Alberta's the only trainer I can think of that does this. When you defeat her she comes to the Pokémon Center. The reason? Well . . . quote:

The genies should have been in their Therian forms from the start, in my opinion. I know they're supposed to be references to actual Shinto gods that look like dudes floating on clouds, but for Pokemon "dudes floating on clouds" is a pretty boring concept, especially since they're glorified color palette swaps of each other.

Anywhere even remotely dark is an excuse for Nintendo to plug us with Zubat/Golbat. I'm just waiting for the dungeon cruel enough for wild Crobat. Unfortunately, I never really understood the AR thing, so I passed on the genies' weird form. I prefer their normal forms anyway. Reading this LP shows me just how little attention I paid to B2. I really rushed through, I guess I didn't enjoy it much. Choco, is there any reason you're underleveled? Is it just a byproduct have having 6 dudes and not enough exp to go around?

I wish Pokemon Radar was half as awesome as that image makes it look. As it is, it literally takes your camera feed and overlays some glowy orbs. If you shoot them enough, you see a pokemon, or an item. From what I remember, Therians just look like glowy orbs that you have to shoot more until you actually catch them. Maybe sprites would look out of place in augmented reality, but I think that would still be better. E: Wait, apparently they'd apparently done models for the DS Pokedex. No excuse then.

Huh, funny, I must've misremembered.  Still, most of the game is just staring at clouds and orbs. One perk is that AFAIK, everything you catch in Dream Radar gets its hidden ability. My W2 cart is overflowing with Prankster Riolus.

The opening of Bravely Default does something like this. As a briefly used mechanic I thought it was neat. I'm less enthused about basing an entire game on it.

Bianca's Science Journal Entry #2 Hello Science Journal!  Assistant to the professor Bianca is here on the scene! I've been in Chargestone Caves for a while now looking for a Tynamo. Professor Juniper said they're very important for evolutionary studies, but they're pretty hard to find to tell the truth! I did manage to see Vinny when he came through, I wonder if he was able to find one?  Speaking of the Professor, she was apparently going up into the Celestial Tower near Skyla's gym! I don't know if you knew Journal, but this is where I met Wikwik, my Chandeleure! I still have her nearby at all times; she makes it really easy to write in you in the dark C=  Also lately, I've been really getting into new movies out of Pokestar Studios! There's this cute new actress there named Rosa! I saw her in one where she had to fight evil Pokemon from the future! Or maybe it was a zombie Pokemon...I don't really remember but the special effects were amazing! I wonder how they do that kind of thing?  Anyway, I do have some big plans coming up Journal! Professor Juniper told me that I need to take a trip real soon! Something about studying a legendary Pokemon maybe? All I know is she said it was pretty far away...I wonder if it'll be a long boat ride? I'm not too good at those. This one time I tried to get to Victory Island and...well I'll spare you the details... =C  Still, I hope Vinny is doing okay! He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and to get up here, he must have gotten a couple badges so far! I bet having a Steel type is really helpful! I wonder if there's any Steel type pokemon who would get along well with me and my Pokemon? This cave is full of Klinks, hmm...  I should get back to work though! Those Tynamo aren't going to find themselves! I'll try to get back to you when I have more to report Journal! Good Listener fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Jul 28, 2014 |

He seems to only do main games though, not remakes, aside from Leafgreen.

BW2 were different enough from BW1 to merit a seperate LP, but who knows if the follow up XY will be a generic third version or a BW2-style sequel. I don't know about you, but the third/fourth game in the XY series BETTER have a postgame.
