I could really care less aside from the quick Pokedex entry it'll net me.
My pretty Pokedex will soon be full~

...Though I don't know if I have a Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza...Don't remember if I ever transferred them into D/P/Pt :lol

As long as you wait a couple years or you have HGSS you're golden for them. :lol

"Hmm. I wonder what new Pokemon I should train next. How about Cacturne?"
*Sees stats*
Well that answered that question...

Is that a yes then? =p

I really don't get stats too well. I get them on a level of, okay this pokemon has a higher stat here than here. But I honestly couldn't look at base stats/max stats and go, okay this guy is worthless. I guess I'm saying I don't get them in the grand scheme of things?

I generally don't, either. I try to use Pokemon without using a simple chart as a be all, end all decision maker, but Cacturne tells all with one look.

Low defense, low special defense, mediocre HP, and no speed to make use of it's great attack and special attack stats.

Sucker Punch is pretty much it's only real option :\

Yeah, it really doesn't have great coverage. Shame. I've always quite liked him design wise. I'd also wager that you could still beat me by using one as well =p

It'd probably be a gimmicky one time thing, though.
Once you see it a second time, you'll probably be privy to what my exact plan would be :lol

How did they make Whitney so likeable in the anime?

She didn't cry when Ash beat her.
