Pokemusings, week 31

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Air. Food. Water. Every human being needs these things. They are simply vital for existence. Championship Pokemon trainers have additional needs. While they might not be required to exist, they are absolutely necessary for successful Pokemon battling and breeding. In this week's edition of Pokemusings, we're going over five essential ingredients for a winning Pokemon recipe (and no, we're not making Psyduck a L'Orange). ... » Read More

Pokemusings, week 30

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

First off, the title of this week's Pokemusings was ripped from a Living Colour song. If you don't know it, do yourself a favor and check out this album. It's excellent and should be part of your musical education. Now, getting back to the matter at hand, this week's column is about the mysterious attack known as Hidden Power. While some players understand this arcane attack, many do not. Hidden Power can be extremely useful in terms of rounding out your Pokemon's attacks and surprising your ... » Read More

Our resident Pokemon masters are back from holiday hiatus! We hope that everyone had an excellent holiday and a fine new year's celebration.

Hopefully this list will inspire or remind you to do something new in the world of ... » Read More

Dec 20, 2007 For our last issue of Pokemusings in 2007, we're going to talk about your favorite Pokemon. The peeps in our Pokemon general discussion forums have been chatting up a storm, telling us who their favorite Pokemon is and why. We were surprised at how diverse the answers were. We thought for sure that everyone would just favor gnarly dragons, but you guys selected a wide variety of Pokemon. Now let's see what some of the choices ... » Read More

Dec 13, 2007 'Tis the season for retailer gouging, horrendous holiday movies (hello Fred Claus), and shoulder dislocations due to overcrowded malls. Don't let that get in the way of shopping for your favorite Pokemon pals! There's still lots of time to pick up some great Pokemon-related gifts. While any self-respecting trainer has a healthy supply of Pokemon games, we're going to take a look at some toys, shirts, and books that are sure to brighten up a Pokemon fan's holidays. And if you've ... » Read More

Dec 7, 2007 For this week's Pokemusings, we're answering some of your questions! A bunch of peeps in our Pokemon general discussion forums had some queries for us and we consulted our Pokemon think tank to fish up the answers. From Pokemon breeding to Ash Ketchum's sexuality to Pokemon poop, we have our faithful Pokemusings readers covered. Now onto the first question!

Nov 29, 2007 Our coverage of Pokemon movies continues! In the last issue of Pokemusings, we went over the dregs -- Pokemon movies that suck. It was a bleak and depressing issue, but we're moving on to bigger, brighter, and better things this week. This time around we'll be talking about three Pokemon movies that are excellent. In no particular order, here are the ones we thought were best. Pokemon: The Movie 2000 Plot: Some jerkwad collector gets extremely overzealous and attempts to capture ... » Read More

For this week and next week, we're going to be taking a look at the numerous Pokemon movies. We'll break down the movies' plots, star Pokemon, and enemy Pokemon. This week we're going to get all the crap out of the way by going over three Pokemon movies that suck. We realize that everyone has different tastes, but if you like any of these movies, then chances are your tastes suck as bad as these wretched flicks (just kidding... sort ... » Read More

Deoxys is a unique, versatile, and powerful Pokemon. It's the only Pokemon that has four unique forms at the same evolutionary stage and it's the only Pokemon that has partnered with NASA (we hear Deoxys has a nasty addiction to Tang). Previously, if you were lucky enough to catch Deoxys, you were stuck with whatever form it was in when it fell to your mighty Pokeball. Thanks to a nifty enhancement in Diamond/Pearl, you can fully exploit the versatility of Deoxys to match your team's needs and ... » Read More

Nov 1, 2007 In Pokemon battles, annoying the hell out of your opponent is sometimes more fun than actually beating them. Whether you're freezing, burning, or paralyzing your enemies, it's fun watching them squirm. The latest generation of Pokemon has introduced several critters that are outstanding nuisances. While Togekiss has been getting a lot of love, there's another excellent annoyer you might want to consider for your team: ... » Read More

Oct 25, 2007 Halloween is right around the corner and we thought it would be a great time to look at five really scary Pokemon. It would be easy to go with some obviously frightening Pokes (Rayquaza, Mewtwo) or some that are just flat-out ugly (Swampert, Electivire). Instead, we're going to take a look at five Pokemon that weren't meant to be scary, but for some reason or another scare the crap out of us. Prepare for this list of "five unintentionally scary ... » Read More

Bug Pokemon get no love. It's easy to understand why. In every Pokemon game - whether the adventure starts in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh - the early goings have tons of weak bugs for your team to slaughter. With a staple of immensely non-threatening Pokemon like Kakuna, Weedil, Metapod and Caterpie abundant in the early stages of every Pokemon game, players are conditioned to think that bug Pokemon suck. This is a shame, since there are so many awesome bug Pokemon out there. This week, ... » Read More

Oct 15, 2007 Ever wondered what it would be like to be a Pokemon designer? Ever thought you could do better than the professionals? We love Pokemon, but let's face it - some of them could have been designed a little more creatively - Pidgey, Taillow, Starly... come on, right? Well, now's your chance to show the world what you've got. Design your ultimate Pokemon from scratch, and your creation could be featured in a special article on GamesRadar. Judging by the creative minds in our Pokemon ... » Read More

Oct 11, 2007 As much as we love Pokemon - enough to devote thousands of hours to the series, collectively - the games are far from perfect. While we've enjoyed so much of our time in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, there were a few aspects of our adventures that drove us batty. In this week's Pokemusings, we're going to go to that dark, angry, and bitter place by venting about five things we can't stand about the mainline Pokemon games. 1) The Run Button - Holding down a button to run was ... » Read More

Fugly Pokemon

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Oct 10, 2007 When judging Pokemon, a good Pokemon trainer takes many things into account, like stats, type weaknesses, abilities, and the Pokemon's move pool. But these attributes don't always tell the whole story. Sometimes, you have to also consider aesthetics when choosing which Pokemon is right for you. In other words, you want you Pokemon to look cool while it's kicking ass. With that in mind, we present our list of the fugliest Pokemon to ever strike fear in the hearts' of their ... » Read More

Oct 4, 2007 For the last few weeks, the best of the best in our Pokemon Forums have been squaring off to determine who the true GamesRadar Pokemon Champion really is. Our forums are full of Pokemon fans who really know their stuff, but in the end there could be only one true Pokemon Champion. This month, we would like to congratulate jimbo42292 as the ultra-victorious winner of the Official GamesRadar Pokemon Tournament. He fought through many tough battles to earn the title of true Pokemon ... » Read More

Oct 4, 2007 Singles tennis and doubles tennis might as well be different games. Sure, the court is the same, the balls are the same, and the net is the same, but a doubles match requires a different mentality and subset of skills than its more popular sibling. The same holds true for Pokemon battles. The arenas are the same, the moves are the same, and the Pokemon are the same. However, the 2v2 style adds a nice layer of strategy and requires you to put a little more thought in your Pokemon ... » Read More

Natures have negligible impact in beating the single-player modes in the Pokemon role-playing games, but they are an enormous facet of competitive play. Longtime competitive Pokemon trainers know how vital having the right nature is, but those new to the scene might not know enough about them. In this week's edition of Pokemusings, we're going to look at various natures and tell you how to use them to your advantage. To start, take a look at this nifty chart the GamesRadar artisans have ... » Read More

Our coverage of weather effects in Pokemon battles concludes in this week's issue of Pokemusings. We've already gone through sunlight, rain, and sand. Now it's time to examine hail. While not as common as the other weather effects, hail has some pretty interesting and effective uses. Since it's decidedly on the underused side, building a team around hail is a great way to throw your opponents a ... » Read More
