Aw, well maybe the new one will be your next 100%. I'm rocking out at 580 seen, 580 obtained. I wish I could still trade over the global trade system, but my DS Lite is too old to use with wi-fi anymore, and I don't know how I feel about buying a 3DS just for Pokemon.




...I'll probably eventually buy a 3DS just for Pokemon.

trade who what?  or are there ingame NPCs who trade you for them like they did with farfetch'd?

There are, but only for Pokemon you can catch in-game. You can get those three either from a friend who has them, from an older cartridge that you own, or by trading online via the global network, though support for that for the DS Lite has been dropped, so you need a 3DS to access it, sadly. The global trade was where I found most of the little buggers I was missing. If you can breed yourself up a few of your starter Pokemon to trade, you're golden.

Pokemon is awesome. I got back into it for a month or so 2 years ago. "Oh, Ekans is just snake spelled backwards? Huh, that fighting pokemon is named after bruce lee? Wait wait Paras , that looks an awful lot like the Cordyceps parasite..."

It's like... it was meant to re-discover at an older age....

That's a big reason I don't try to collect them all. I'm not going to find some 12 year olds to trade pokemon with. Creepy.

I am a G1 but I dont hate on the new pokemon.  Would just like to explore the new worlds with my old team so to speak.  Even if I start from scratch with them.

But, but, none of the options I presented involved finding 12 year olds...

Pokemon is awesome. But I'm not a completionist, just casual.

I really enjoyed B and W, and going back a few gens is now painful.
I don't care about the rules.

Then be a man.  Buy a unlocked game from Ebay.

Holy shit. That changes everything.

PS - Ancient Dragon attacked Solitude, 20 guards attacked it, I jumped on its head in slow motion and hit it repeatedly in the eye with the mace of Molag Bal about a billion times. Awesome.

I have finally caved in and started using the auction house in DIII. Hell difficulty is simply not doable with self-found gear unless you happen to be very lucky (or you happen to be very fond of farming...).

Which class Aldaris? You can do it with some classes but it's ridiculous with others.

My Barbarian convinced me.

Armor 1800, DPS 1750 and about 16000 HP simply doesn't cut it at this level.

Yeah I thought it might be barb. My barb has finished act 2 inferno but is running into a wall in act 3. Probably spend half the time on the AH scanning for bargains these days.

 :wink:

It's simply not fun to play a supposed melee monster and having to kite anything even remotely dangerous over the whole map. Healing potion, earthquake and a hit or two, run. Sucks.

My Demon Huntress on the other hand is a lot of fun in Hell. Yes, she has to run away more, but she can get the damage in WHILE kiting. And I nearly double my Barbs DPS at the moment (ca. 3200), at the same level (52).

Sad truth is that to play a barb in inferno without massively overgearing it (as opposed to only overgearing by a little bit :icon_wink: ) you need to go sword and board with tanking passives and actives.

In perspective I have 13k dps, 46k hp, 800 resist all (with war cry) 9.5k armour with enchantress. Elites in act 3 destroy me, don't have a prayer. Sucks! Looking forward to 1.03 and 1.1.
