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 ... » Read More

Pokemusings, week ten

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Okay! After playing some name games in the last issue of Pokemusings, we head back into the super serious (not really) world of EV training. In case you've missed it (and shame on you if you did!), we've already gone over the basics and recommended places to EV train. This week, we're going to go over some items that will maximize your EV efforts. If you've beaten the Elite Four, then you'll have access to the Battle Tower. Not only is this a great place to hone your competitive-battling ... » Read More

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 ... » Read More

10 signs you're playing too much Pokemon

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

We've been playing a lot of Pokemon recently. But is it too much? Here's how to tell. If any of the following sound familiar, it might be time to take a break. Be honest now... 1) You hear the level up chime in your head when you accomplish an everyday task 2) You avoid long grass or take the shortest route through it when you're feeling fatigued 3) You spray insect repellent on your clothes and walk with confidence for 100 paces 4) You tap your watch repeatedly in the hope it will reveal ... » Read More

Pokemusings, week eight

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Last week, we gave you the basics of EV training - the complex stat-boosting system in Pokemon that works in a behind-the-scenes way. While it might be tough to grasp initially, EV training is well worth the effort. You'll be making your pokemon the best that they can be if you're mindful about the types of pokemon they defeat. This week's installment of Pokemusings will help your EV efforts by letting you know some excellent places for training in Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. Since most of our ... » Read More

Pokemusings, week seven

The Pokemon games are superbly-crafted titles that appeal to children of all ages. They're fun games that are easy for players of all skill levels to enjoy. Underneath it all is an amazingly complex system that most players don't even know about. It's called EV training.

Pokemon - catching 'em all

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

At around 193 million units versus Pokémons 155 million, Mario may have sold more games overall, but considering the wide variety of stuff he stars in and the length of time hes been around; Pokémon is arguably the more significant videogame phenomenon. Pikachu and the gang have enjoyed peaks and endured troughs since the original games 1996 Japanese debut, but no matter how many times people have tried to write off Pokémon, it remains hugely popular. Its a cultural ... » Read More

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 ... » Read More

Pokemusings, week five

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

Keeping your Pokemon happy is every Pokemon trainer's responsibility. The better you treat your Pokemon, the better they'll perform for you in battle. More importantly, happiness is the only way to get some of the best Pokemon in the game. Lucario, Blissey, and Crobat are just a few of the ultimate evolutions that are triggered by maximum happiness. There's a common misconception among many Pokemon players about happiness evolution. We've heard tons of people complain about what a chore this ... » Read More

Pokemon Battle Revolution - online report

Wii Feature | Pokemon Battle Revolution

So here it is, seven months after the Wii launched and we're just now getting our first online game - and it's one that's been out in Japan since December 2006. But for the endless Poke-masses, such a delay means nothing. We'll be battling our super-powered 3D Pokemon online regardless of how long Japanese gamers have been doing it. The real question is, how well does Wii's online setup work? We cracked open the new Battle Revolution box, loaded it up and set out to answer that question. The ... » Read More
