I was reading some old Nintendo Power mags (Gaming magazine) and I looked through some of the old Colosseum teams they listed. This is partially why I stopped subscribing.
1) Issue 137
Zapdos - Thunderbolt, Light screen, Thunder wave, Drill peck
NP said - Eddie leads with his Zapdos. That could be a bad idea if his opponent also leads with an Electric-type, which Zapdos is vulnerable to. Eddie uses Light screen to increase his defense against special attacks and Thunder wave to paralyze his opponents. Drill peck is a powerful flying move, and like many powerful moves, it misses quite often.
Huh? Drill peck misses quite often? They also say Zapdos is in trouble if an Electric comes out. What about a GROUND? Ugh.
2) Issue 135
NP said - Chris Spense from Holladay, Tennessee, has a picture-perfect group of pokemon that may seem too good to be true! His team would work well under many different circumstances. It’s diverse enough to tackle the Prime Cup in Pokemon Stadium and powerful enough to give any Pokemon Trainer a good, lnog fight. Chris thinks that his team of level 100 brawlers is one of the best ever built. What do you think?
Dragonair - Dragon rage, Wrap, Ice beam, Thunder wave
Alakazam - Confusion, Body slam, Psychic, Thunder wave
Gyarados - Dragon rage, Thunderbolt, Hyper beam, Hydro pump
Gengar - Psychic, Mega drain, Metronome, Confuse ray
Sandslash - Rock slide, Earthquake, Slash, Hyper beam
Zapdos - Thunder, Fly, Light screen, Drill peck
What do I think? I think it’s shit. Dragonair? Okay, it’s alright, but what’s with Dragon rage? Alakazam with Confusion and Body slam? Ugh. Gyarados is okay, Gengar has Metronome, Sandslash should scrap Hyper beam for Sword dance and Zapdos’s Thunder and Fly are garbage.
Betcha that kid was like 6.
3) Issue 133
NP said - (yadadadada), Oh just funning around with you! We don’t make fun of names, just lame pokemon teams. So you’re safe!
Dewgong - Aurora beam, Rest, Skull bash, Ice beam
Charizard - Dig, Fire blast, Seismic toss, Flamethrower
Hypno - Hypnosis, Dream eater, Psychic, Metronome
Muk - Sludge, Thunderbolt, Fire blast, Body slam
Marowak - Bone club, Bonemerang, Fire blast, Seismic toss
Scyther - Swift, Skull bash, Substitute, Slash
Crap.
NP said about Scyther - It (Swift) can even hit enemies that are underground in the middle of a Dig attack on Pokemon Stadium.
Actually, I think that’s really handy for when enemies use Dig on my Scyther.
4) Issue 132
NP said - Just so you all know, Jake Gates of Illinois thinks that everyone else’s teams thus far have been totally weak. He’d also like to add that every pokemon on his team is at level 100, and that he got them there without using a game enhancer. And that he’s caught all 151 pokemon. And that his team will rule all on the Pokemon stadium Tour. And that anyone who fights with Mewtwo is a wimp. Hey - A little bit of confidence never hurt anyone right?
Kids in the 7-11 age range are the most annoying people in the world. ERR.
Slowbro - Fire blast, Hyper beam, Psychic, Ice beam
Venusaur - Sleep powder, Solarbeam, Cut, Mega drain
Vaporeon - Ice beam, Surf, Hyper beam, Hydro pump
Mr. Mime - Hyper beam, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Seismic toss
Ninetales - Fire blast, Fire spin, Flamethrower, Hyper beam
Gyarados - Surf, Thunderbolt, Hyper beam, Fire blast
......sigh*.......
The only things I liked about these types of kids is wrecking their lives when I beat them. Back years ago, when I was little, Pokemon was cool, nobody cared about terrorism and Brittany Spears was hot. Ahh, the days. This is my old team when I was little.
Jolteon - Thunder wave, Thunderbolt, Pin missile, Double kick
Golduck - Amnesia, Surf, Ice beam, Dig
Articuno - Ice beam, Fly, Blizzard, Reflect
Alakazam - Psychic, Recover, Seismic toss, Reflect
Golem - Earthquake, Rock slide, Explosion, Fire blast
Chansey - Psychic, Ice beam, Thunderbolt, Softboiled
Of course I beat everyone. There was always those cocky kids that acted all like “I’m the best in the world”. Right. So of course I faced one and he sent out Mewtwo, and I told him “Mewtwo’s cheap” and he said nope. He had Mewtwo, Moltres and a few other shitties. I beat him and he flipped on me saying I cheated. So we had a rematch, and I won again. After that Pokemon wasn’t cool anymore. That’s the only good thing about those cocky fuckers is that it’s so awesome to destroy them.
So what have we learned...
1 - Nintendo Power sucks, it’s kiddie and full of errors. Electronic Gaming Monthly is better.
2 - I have lots of free time.
3 - Thanks to NP, the cartoon and everything else, Pokemon is childish. Why isn’t Golden sun, Dragon warrior or Final fantasy kiddie? They’re the same thing right? Well, they didn’t have a cartoon so it’s more respectable to play em, yay.
4 - Cocky little kids are the most pathetic people there are. Embarrass them, push them and spit on their friends.
5 - North America is full of retards. Just ask Rammstein, System of a down, or Osama.
