Best Grass Type Pokemon?





FERROTHORN! im in love with this guy and im using him currently in my black 2 team and it hasn't let me down yet, by god its an awesome pokemon.
Ferrothorn has EPIC defence stats and will soak up even the most powerful of moves all day and every day, also it learns some pretty handy movies which complement this pokemon more than a middle eastern man does a corner shop. like the moves iron defence and gyro ball and payback, iron defence to make Ferrothorn impossible to kill, gyro ball -the slower the user the more powerful this move, believe me its a slow one, and payback -Its power doubles to 100 if the user moves after the target. But dont be fooled by ferrothorns sluggish and defensive natures boy can the guy deal some damage, the physical attack stats are tipping towards the top of the chart so dont take ferrothorn as a joke especially when this pokemon has the ability iron barbs which can take out pokemon without even attacking them.(inflicts big damage on pokemon that touch/attack ferrothorn)
Ferrothorn also is a secondary type steel which is pretty handy when it comes to taking on those pesky flying types! and the steel type also open up a whole new move pool, full of powerful steel attacking and special defence moves.
My Poke Rating? gotta be a 8-9 out of 10.
Good Move Set for ferrothorn:
Item-Leftovers
Ability-Iron barbs 
Iron Defence
Ingrain/curse
payback/use gyro ball if you have curse
Power Whip
And a nature that lowers speed and raises defence or physical attack would be nice!

Is Pokemon Ruined?

Pokemon Black and White 2
Pokemon Fire Red











Pokemon Ruined? I dunno it's a sensitive subject for most loyal gamers, and probably because they believe it has been ruined! There right in some respects, the classic feel and the style of Pokemon has changed a considerable amount, and to be honest I loved the old style games especially fire red as it was my first Pokemon game and it was freak'in EPIC.. there are many forums and articles about how Pokemon is ruined or how it has changed for the better but there all from differed point of views etc etc, me? Well I'm a Gen 2 and Gen 3 gamer as my childhood was basically these games, but I DO enjoy the new games black white 2, sometimes I do get abut pissed with the changes Pokemon has made but hey ho that's just life and I'm a Gen 2-3 gamer what do you expect? Anyway what I'm trying to say is that the reason I believe the new Pokemon games are frowned apon is because older gamers like me are TO STUBBERN.. Yeah, stubbern, don't cry.

The old Style of Pokemon gone forever:(

Sometimes I miss the good old days when you could just hyper beam the shit out of everything and in the modern world of Pokemon with Ev training etc etc sometimes I fell abit old.. I'm only 17 lol;)
AHH also when you could just stick your Pokemon into a day-care centre and run the hell around all day, come back and your once level 10 pikachu is now level 70, these days you have to worrie about Evs, Ivs, Pokerus and movesets beings altered, ow and natures... Ah the good old days were the best.

The new style of Pokemon is pretty Cool give it a chance:*

Wooo here we are, the NEW style of Pokemon. One thing clearly stands out from the rest and its how long battles take, they last much longer and are more tactical which some times is great! But when you have to battle hoards of team plasma grunts and pokemon breaders some times it can be a pain in the ass but to be honest I believe this is mostly a positive impact on the game.
 Wooo #TeamNewPokemonGames
The double edged sword, EV training, all the new(ish) natures and weird nerdy shit in the new Pokemon. Lets start with the positives, if your a full on Pokemon geek you'll bloody love it! All the different things that you can tweek etc etc, it also benefits the less knowledgeable Pokemon player too.. Say if you was up against the same level and type Pokemon tradionaly the person to stop using potions or to use hyper beam first would win,  because it is a stale mate and both pokemons stats are identical, but now the Pokemon gimps back in Japan or wherever they are have introduced Evs and different natures to make Pokemon individual. And here's the other end of the sword, if your looking for a rare Pokemon and after 30mins of searching you finally capture this Pokemon, your all chuffed to bits until you cheek it's stats.. Unfortunely it's nature contradict its stats, let's say you wanted this Pokemon because of its high defence, the nature would hinder its defensive stat therefor lowering it... IT'S THE MOST ANOUYING THING EVER, then you have to waste another 30mins of your life searching for it again and hoping it has the appropriate nature. Great.

The Worlds best conclusion.

Lets be serious the new style of Pokemon is pretty good, the new graphics the more tactical game play, the towns and cities are full of side quests and competitions, like I said let's be super cerial.. There generally more things to do in the new Gen games. The only things that really annouy me are the natures and Evs but to be honest there pretty much assencial in making Pokemon individual, sometimes I do think the new gen games are over doing it, in some respects certain areas in Pokemon have been ruined, like the rustic feel and simplistic style of Pokemon are pretty much gone.
I just hope Pokemon stays on the right tracks and doesn't change the recipe too much from the originals but all in all I don't think Pokemon is ruined, i hate to say this though ,its time to move on... Ps HyperBeam rules....
