"Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,


Nintendo of America Inc. provides product support for the United States and
Canada only. With that said, the sleep mode you asked about was not included in
the North American version of the Nintendo DS system. However, as your
feedback is extremely important to Nintendo, we have forwarded your e-mail to
the appropriate departments for further review. While they may not be able to
respond personally to your e-mail, your comments will be heard.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.
Dervin Camden"

The sleep mode will be in the European one, so that if someone nearby wants to play, your DS will make a noise. Kind of unfair.

Actually, I do remember my brother's Charizard doing more damage with "not effective" attacks than I liked.

It used to wind me up how my Golem was the perfect Charizard topping machine, but Charizard was faster and with Charizards huge special attack and Golems low special defense, Fire Blast would always top Golem in one.

Tyranitar was a lot better.


Where did you learn all these training tips?
I sort of noticed these things through experience, but never thought to look on the internet how it all worked.
It did used to wind me up that my friend's Mewtwo was a lot faster than mine...

Trained up normally, but it didn't have specific ev training.


No doubt that a Blastoise trained in Special Attack and Special Defense would be able to beat it.

That is VERY impressive.
Who's Blastoise was it?
Properly trained or by Rare Candy?

One of same level.


Rock is the only weakness, yes. It comes to a choice of making the attacks powerful enough for one hit KO or being able to withstand a hydropump or a rockslide.


But seeing as rock slide is effective against the flying and the fire types, I didn't see the point in trying to defend against it.


I have battle tactics too you know, I don't just rely on pure stats :P

Really?

Same level Blastoise or "Gary"'s level 65 one? :-)
I bet it still couldn't handle rockslide though! :-P



There was a maximum point for "ev"'s, I remember.
Gengar and Blastoise were definately maxed out, but there was always room for improvement with Mewtwo and Dragonite.

I have to say, I never studied Pokémon training like you.
I was very amature and haphazard like you say...
I was more about the battle tactics! :-)

In a totally mish mash amatuer way I bet :)


You can only have 510 evs, and a max of 255 in one stat. You get 1 bonus stat point for every 4 evs in that stat. If you go round fighting everything you'll get a small boost in all your stats. What you need to do is focus on the two most important for that Pokemon. I added only Special Attack and Special Defense evs to my Charizard, and chose a personality that lowered Attack and raised Special Attack.

As a result I have a Charizard that can withstand a Hydro Pump and can kill a Blastoise in one hit with Fire Blast :)

After I raised my Pokemon to level 100 I'd use vitamins to increase the stats.

Once I had done that I continued through the Elite Four, raising their stats even further.

Actually the vitamins just added 10 effort values to their stat, Protein = +10 attack ev.

And once you reach 100 evs for a stat you can no longer use vitamins to raise it anymore.


You can't fill your evs fully without battling.
