I found a Dragonite once by accident, nearly killed me to catch it, the little bugger kept popping out

I'm looking forward to it. I just caught a level 70 Dragonair. Not exactly what I was looking for, but I couldn't let a wild level 70 go.

Don't blame you. Couldn't you just give it a rare candy and save yourself a huge amount of time, or are you adamant on a wild Dragonite?

Adamant. I have plenty of Dragonites already, I just want to catch one in the wild because I think it's cool that you can.

Ah, well good luck finding one, isn't the encounter rate 1%?

I should go to bed, but Scrubs is on. Scrubs is the best.

I still don't think Pokémon like Dragonite should be available in the wild.

Eh, it doesn't really matter. A wild Dragonite won't be as strong as one raised from a low level anyway.

Scrubs is a good reason to stay up late. Great show.
Darn tootin' it is. Plus Sarah Chalke makes good eye candy

I guess it does...

It does seem unfair to spend ages in the past levelling the Pokémon up to the appropriate level, when you can just find it in the wild now :/

I ought to do some stuff in White like visit White Forest, which is probably empty, but I'll look anyway. Or play Soul Silver and try to get the last 2 gym badges. Then train my Crobat and the rest of my team for Red.

What levels are you planning on for Red?
Id say Lv 70 or so, Im not completely sure about my team. I might switch some Pokes but I have Lugia, Lapras and Crobat, that I want to use, Ho-oh is already Lv 70 but three flying types is a bad idea.

Especially as three of his Pokémon have blizzard, and it's always hailing :/

My Chingling on Pearl refuses to evolve =/

I think I'm just going to play HG. I also have 2 more badges to go.

I wish Chimecho was a better Pokémon, it's kinda cute. I can't play D/P anymore because the battles take sooooo long :/ I'm glad they sped them up in Platinum.

Now I remember why I didn't like it, it felt like GF was saying "HEY, YOU KNOW HOW YOU SPENT TWO WEEKS TRAINING THAT DRATINI INTO A DRAGONITE? WELL NOW YOU CAN CATCH ONE IN THE WILD :D KTHNXBAI".

Yeah, that's the other reason why I'm not playing it. It's annoying as hell.

But like you said, the trained pokemon is much stronger. Of course Dragonite is my favorite so I already have like 10 of them anyway.

Yeah, it doesn't matter that much. And it does make it more realistic.
