    50,000 people on now in the Rocket hide out. Idiots still spamming start, progress is slowed down so much because of that. Down to four in the party and Flareon is gone? Rattata, Pidgeot, Farfetch'd and Oddish.... I think.

    Yeah, I really don't understand how it's even playable. Not alone is there the thousands of commands, but apparently there's a 30-second delay between command and action as well? How the hell do they even get through doors?

    Not 30 seconds, more like 5 seconds at worst.

    You obviously haven't been on Twitch since their change to HLS streaming. Stream delays are 30-45 seconds at a minimum.

    It was changed at some point. Counts the commands and whatever has the most after 20 seconds is the next command. Much better as the start spamming will never win that race. Takes between 5 and 10 seconds for each move now.

    I don't know if they're ever gonna get out of Rocket HQ.
    And if they do, think how fúcked they'll be when they get to Silph Co! :pac:

    EDIT: Miraculously, they managed to beat Giovanni. And then promptly dug their way out without retrieving the Silph Scope!

    Anyone out there still playing Pokémon Black? It was my first real ever Pokémon game (having never owned a Gameboy before and having only played with emulators before then - favourite game was definitely Crystal) and I got it, along with a second-hand DS Lite, a month ago. Really enjoying it, have done the Elite Four twice, met all of the sages apart from Ghetsis, caught most of the legendaries (Reshiram, Kyurem, Thornadus, Cobalion, Virizion and Terrakion) and am now just sort of wandering about aimlessly trying to fill up the Pokédex and strengthen my chosen team of six.* [/SIZE]

    I'm still playing them! :).. I've yet to finish black 2 as I keep playing guild wars instead XD.
    (actually there's something about black 2, I just get bored with it)
    white 1 was very good, and soul silver (I still play this :D ..is my favourite ..)

    but yeah I'm not bothering with the 3DS at all, should only be a couple of more years for the next gen console, I'll be waiting for that.

    You're missing out if you dont play X or Y. Best games since probably GSC.

    Maybe, but the next games will have alot of the stuff they've brought in, so shouldn't be a major loss.

    and knowing nintendo, there will be a way to play them on the next console.

    Twitch caught Zapdos. No clue how that happened but I'd bet on it being released fairly quickly.

    RIP Dux the Tree Slayer and Gloom the Seed of Hope. (Also 8 other redshirts). May their sacrifices not have been in vain.

    Yep. They're calling it Bloody Sunday. Shortly after my post they also released Digrat. 12 gone in total, including 3 core team members.

    Yeah the Pidgeot (can never remember which order the names of their evoltuion go), they'd be proper lost without him. Lucky the masterball wasn't tossed at a level 4 rattatta.

    Heh, that reminds me of my early days playing Red, and not using the Master Ball to catch any of the legendaries. After that, I may as well have taken Oak's advice: tumblr_mwlzf7EAMd1s6bjwgo1_400.jpg
