Pokemusings, week 11

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Aug 23, 2007 Hold items are absolutely essential for Pokemon battles. Pretty much every Pokemon trainer out there knows the value of pairing the right hold item with the right Pokemon. What many players don't know is that hold items are equally valuable for obtaining hard-to-catch Pokemon and completing your Pokedex. In this week's issue of Pokemusings, we're going to take a look at some of the Pokemon you can generate using the Daycare Center in Solaceon City in conjunction with specific hold ...

Pokemusings, week nine

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Naming your Pokemon is a vital but often overlooked part of the Pokemon games. Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people play Pokemon games without giving any thought to naming the Pokemon they catch. This, we think, is criminal. After all, you don't name your dog "Dog" or your cat "Cat." So why should you stick with species names like Charmander, Pikachu, or Togepi?!? We understand that Ash and his friends do this in the animated series so that viewers can learn the names of each ...

Pokemon - catching 'em all

Pokemusings, week six

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Using legendary Pokemon in battles is a piece of cake. Their stats are higher than normal and their move pools are generally broader than those of standard Pokemon. Even without proper training and with an unbalanced move set, it's pretty easy to win a battle using legendary Pokemon. You don't need a whole lot of skill to win this way. If you're a Pokemon master in the making then you're probably working hard at training standard Pokemon. Being victorious with regular Pokemon is a true ...
