Sorry I know this is pretty cack but I thought it'd be interesting to see everyones 10 favourite Pokemon. :-)
Ok, my list is in no particular order and this list is about picking your favourites - as in their looks and general abilities in battles. So don't go thinking you have to pick 10 that would make a well balanced - they can be all fire types if your favourites tend to all be that type. :-)
Anyway, heres mine (some of you might not know some of these as they're in Sapphire and Ruby)...

01. Pikachu
02. Steelix
03. Aggron
04. Kyogre
05. Lugia
06. HellHound (name right ? basically the one that looks like a doberman in gold and silver)
07. Charizard
08. Duskull
09. Tropius
10. Arbok

Importing is cheaper.


Go and buy Golden Sun: The Lost Age for £21 at dvdboxoffice with free shipping and you'll have it in two weeks.

Or you could wait 3 months and pay £34 for the UK version.

What's better? Sapphire or Ruby?

After purchasing one, I'll also et Golden SUn 2 and Advance Wars 2 (USA Versions) to keep me busy on holiday.

Yay!

I think thats a Seviper you saw. ;-) Catch one on Route 114 - he's exclusive to Sapphire.

Thing that gets to me is how many cack pokemon have made it to the new games while others that were excellent have been left out. I would have thought the best move (if pokemon are to be left out) would be to keep the really good ones that players like to use and ditch the crap ones.
I can't help but think that some other pokemon game on either GBA or GC will come out that brings in the other pokemon for you to get and extend the pokedex. It just seems a bit, I dunno, wrong in a way that the overall count has been brought down to 200 on not only a new version of the game, but a more powerful console - you know ?

I'm getting plenty of hours out of it (clocked over 150 hours now), but that still doesn't fill the void in me that misses my Houndoom. :-(
Don't mind starting again from scratch, but at least give me my old favourites !

After fighting the Team Magma leader I decided to get my Poochyena out of the PC and train him up to evolve into a Mightyena, great Pokemon :D


I can't shake off the feeling that it's just a Houndour and Houndoom though...and they were even better...

It seems they scrapped a lot of good new Pokemon from G/S, and replaced them with pretty much identical ones in R/S.


And I fought someone with a big evil snake thing, I WANT!!

Yeah I had Mew and Celebi. :-) Got them downloaded when Nintendo did those little tour things - had to travel to London for them. Now thats loyalty to a game. ;-) Or just plain sadness. ;-))

Was fun though - got to pound some punk kids on the game while waiting. ;-)
