Stone Edge is statistically better than Rock Slide, and with the STAB that Tyranitar gets I'd definitely go for it.

EDIT: In case you wanted more reason, Rock Slide's 30% flinch may sound good, but Tyranitar is often too slow to really abuse it; Stone Edge's effect (-Defense) has more of a chance to be useful.

The problem with Stone Edge is that it has a high chance of missing. 20% chance of missing.

Just got to Kanto. Got to say, I'm loving the battle music. The wild encounter Kanto music sounds worthy of a legendary theme! They definitely put a lot of effort into it. I just wish they'd changed Lt. Surge's gym puzzle. I hate that stupid puzzle. Now excuse me while I go check garbage cans 10,000 more times.

Has anybody used the Pokewalker yet? I think is an awesome little gadget. I used it today and caught a Ponyta and a Nidoran and found a couple items xD
It makes me feel like i'm really walking with my Pokemon.

Yeah... It's okay. I haven't caught anything worthwhile. For example, all I've seen so far is Sentret, Venonat and Wobuffet. *Yawn*

I'm walking with my Lapras though. (...How does that work? )

Gah, I haven't gotten this game yet. I was too late in contacting Nintendo to have a review up in time, so I didn't get one And I'm short on cash. That means that I literally have no cash, but I'm walking down to GameStop today to sell like, 80% of my Xbox 360 Games, knowing I will never play those again anyways, so hopefully that will at least earn me a copy of Soul Silver.

And I don't know if you are reading, but I will not try battling you again, after that one terrible loss. (you know who you are)

I'm having fun at the Battle Arcade. The random board thing is cool, and I love the music. By the way, anyone notice the trainers don't reset on the Fast Ship trips? That's lame...I used that to grind on Crystal.

Awesome, glad to see someone else is taking their time to get through the game. But yeah, I've been eager to see Kanto again, and hear the music. I've still gotta beat Clair and all that yet, so I've got some time before I get there.

Hmmm... after thinking about it, you don't really have to manipulate the clock every day to rematch Gym Leaders.

Well, maybe on Thursdays. I still wished this game had a VS. Seeker.

[Adem]

I enjoyed Kanto, but I think they tried a bit to hard to update some things. I could play Blue with my eyes closed, but I can't say the same for this.

We'll just blame erosion.

EDIT:

Urgh, me too. I've yet to fight Red because I can't change my DS clock without turning the game off and back on and what not, and there's no other decent way to train than to rebattle gym leaders. In FR/LG, the VS Seeker was my hero. I could get a level 100 within a couple hours. (EVs would be crappy but whatever. lol)

True. That's why I teach it to Machamp with the No Guard Ability.

On another note, I'm surprised that they brought the Battle Frontier from Platinum to this game.

[Mariolink263]

They seem to randomly decide whether a game has the Battle Tower or the entire Battle Frontier. Look at the trend:
Crystal: Tower
R/S: Tower
Emerald: Frontier
FR/LG: Tower
D/P: Tower
Pl: Frontier
HG/SS: Frontier

[Russ]

If you look at it in order, Crystal introduced to tower. R/S and Fr/Lg both copied it, and then Emerald came along and invented the frontier. Gamefreak got lazy and didn't include it in D/P, opting instead for a tower, then put the frontier back in the rest of the games. See, it makes perfect sense.

Anyways, I beat Lt. Surge. The gym leaders are pretty high leveled. And they have awesome music. I'm a bit upset that the wild Pokemon are so low leveled, but oh well.

[Koh]

We should be happy that Red didn't go for 100% 3 years ago . Got me a Poliwrath, by the way ...Ice Punch is freakin' 64 BP!

Did anyone capture Zapdos yet? I wasn't able to catch him after throwing 70 Ultra Balls. Does raising Sp. Def or Def in general affect capture rate?

This is totally random. Turn it off and try again.

One time I went in to catch Articuno with only 11 Ultra Balls, and I had to restart my game many times before it worked because I didn't want to go back and buy more.
