Well, I noticed that Charizard and Rhyhorn have nearly the same cry in the dex.

Goldeen and Butterfree... yes, it's similar, but I never really compared them... I think I'll do so some time...
No one can go back and change a bad beginning; but anyone can start now and create a successful ending.
If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If it cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?

Pikachu can be a better special sweeper than raichu if pika holds a light ball

Also I consider smeagle a half legend because it can learn any move(e.g. Hydro cannon,Volt tackle, Sky Attack,Magma storm

More like UU, or Uber.
Not a legend.

I hate wobbuffet. In platinum, Cheryl seems to get me most of the time with the stupid counter and mirror coat attacks. I get so annoyed fighting it while im trying to train my weak pokemon, like honchkrow right now.

As long as you can One-Shot Wobbufet, he's no trouble.

That's why a common strategy is giving him a Focus Sash.

Well i currently only seem to beat it when honhkrow uses night slash, and the cool thing is that honchkrow has super luck and is holding a scope lens :D

Yeah, good Strategy...
Try using a Ghost-type with Physical moves.

I meant a Ghost-type Pokemon with Physical moves, Try Dusclops.

Im guessing y0u dont have a Bug-Type

Geodude is not a "dude". In fact, he's quite an asshole.

Way to kill the wondering mood Jerry :P (yes, Jerry was right people). I thought about using dusknoir, but think about it. Moves like shadow punch or something arent all that strong, and i dont think dusknoir would be good for mixed battles. Doesnt it have low defenses or something too?

Just been reading over this and noticed someone raised the Kangaskan (probably didn't spell it right) and Cubone thing.

Originally, in Red and Blue, Cubone was meant to be Kangy's child, who had lost it's mother so it - being the weirdo it was, wore her skull. In the game, Marowak was meant to evolve into Kangy, but coding for that would take a whole day or two! :O So, Nintendo, being the lazy people they are just left the code... but it decided:
"chansey you, Nintendo. I'm going to be in this game. Whether you like it or not! RAWR!"
This code is known as MissingNo.

If you want to blame anyone for your games glitching up... BLAME MAROWAK FOR NOT EVOLVING.

I dont say uber because ubers ar based on their moves and stats. I say half-legend because legends are based on rarity and stats, but mew is mainly noticed because it can learn any TM/HM. Smeargle has terrible stats but it can learn any move, as stated before.
Even if one person steales waht you deserve, your reward will be even better than the last if you head down the right path.

A second, ?????? maboroshi no Pokémon, literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as Mew, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the Generation IV games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various myths of Sinnoh... taken from http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Legendary_Pok%C3%A9mon#Mew_duo

Its called a legendary because it is so hard to find. Not because it can learn any move. By your logic, ditto should be legendary. It can turn into pretty much anything and therefore, learn any attack
The thrill in playing a game does not come from our chances of winning. It is the weight and pressure of losing that fuels our fascination. It is why people challenge, why they gamble and why they compete. The adrenaline that comes from defying defeat is what motivates us.
