As much as I like Mudkips, they are in fact inferior to Piplup and Squirtle.
But yeah, I'll breed my Blaziken for a Torchic.

As for Lucky Egg, I think I got mines off a Chansey I got in the Safari Zone of Fire Red, as well as a Lucky Punch from another.

Hmm, your statement there made me go and check the base stats out of curiosity. As it turns out, Mr. Wiggles, Mudkips are indeed worse-- by a negligible degree. Their average stat is one point less than that of the other Pokémon you mentioned. I also found that the average stats for their final evolutions is the reverse: Swampert has an average stat that is almost one point higher than Blastoise and Empoleon.

And Totodile?

Totodile gets no love it seems...

As it turns out, Totodile's average stat is equal to Piplup and Squirtle. Feraligatr is also equal to Empoleon and Blastoise. Keep in mind, however, that the average stat does not set the Pokémon's power in stone. With enough effort, almost any Pokémon can become a giant. I don't think it's worth it, though...

Yeah, I hate going deeper into the whole competitive battle scene. You have to start taking into account natures, EVs, IVs not to mention tons of breeding to get the right one. Way too much work with very little payoff. I'd much rather just work with those I catch and pump up their best stat.

Wait, Mr. Wiggles likes Mudkips?
* WarpRattler hides from the meme

What meme?

I completely agree, Mr. Wiggles. If I wanted to drive myself crazy with numbers, I'd try to remember pi...or how many times that idiot sister of mine got herself in trouble.

You don't want to know. (For the record, I also like Mudkips. This is because I was turned into a Mudkip when I played PMD.)

I don't care for that meme either. Darn 4chan...

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon's gonna have a sequel~! Wew hew! :D

WarpRattler · « **Reply #581 on:** June 09, 2007, 04:17:46 PM »

AAH PMD SEQUEL

Also, my brother doesn't know it yet, but I have his FireRed cartridge, and I believe I still have his Ruby version somewhere...TIME TO MIGRATE SOME LEGENDARIES.

PMD is annoying in so many ways.

BP · « **Reply #583 on:** June 09, 2007, 11:09:52 PM »

Mm. I'll play it. I personally like the break from the Pokemon League and having to make an attempt to catch 'em all.The real stars get the credit.

Who knows? Maybe they'll have figured out a way to fix the flaws the first game had. Maybe it'll be less of a roguelike and more of a hack n' slash. That would be kewl.
