Hehe, yeah, base speed is the simpler option I suppose. (Also Bonzai is highest with 240

)

Concerning Gravitark's ability Gravity... Gravity is also the name of a 4th-gen move that makes all pokemon vulnerable to Ground-Type moves. Shouldn't we change the name of the ability?

Trailblaze, Blue Fire and Lava River changed. The HM's are fixed too.

As for the ability, it is called Gravity Pull, so a change is not necessary.

I think the HM head-butt is a good idea. But how about switching the hm effect to skull bash? It uses more head power, and its a powerful move, like most hms are.

Hm, not sure. It could work, sure, but it would immediately become the strongest HM out of the bunch, and I hesitate because it's tradition that Headbutt is used to knock pokémon out of trees.

"a powerful move, like most hms are."

Right, like Cut and Rock Smash. There's precedent for HMs you wouldn't want on serious battlers. Headbutt actually isn't that bad in battle, especially since it has a fairly good chance (30%) of making the target flinch. Headbutt's Base Power is equal to that of Fly, and a serious argument could be made that a 30% chance of flinch is close to as useful, tactically, as Fly's leaving-the-battlefield effect.

Check this out Poryhedron, on bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net can tell you about any pokemon, any character, and ANY MOVE!! That means you can see what all of the moves possible can actually do, like skull bash!! And I think its a better move. It is a 2 stage move like fly, 100 percent accuracy, and 100 attack points.

But, as ShinE has put, it has the old out of battle effect of knocking pokemon out of trees. Skull Bash, though more powerful, is not inherently better. From a tactical stand point I would rather have the flinching effect than more power, and also the delayed attack without having the protection of being out of battle for a turn does make it less favorable in my opinion. Just putting my two cents in, not dismissing any ideas as stupid.

Cut: power 50, PP 30, accuracy 95; no extra effect.
Fly: power 90, PP 15, accuracy 95; player leaves battle for a turn
Surf: power 95, PP 15, accuracy 100; no extra effect
Rock Smash: power 40, PP 15, accuracy 100; may lower foe's defence

Headbutt: power 70, PP 15, accuracy 100; may cause flinching
Skull Bash: power 100, PP15, accuracy 100; vulnerable for a turn but with +1 defence

It's really just a trade-off between flinching in one turn, or a vulnerable turn for 30 extra power. There are worse HM moves than them as above. (There are also eight moves preceded by "Rock" 9_9 )

They upped Fly's power by 20 points in DP, huh?

My point was not that Headbutt is necessarily a stronger move. If you believe worthiness to be an HM is determined by a move's in-battle usefulnes, maybe you aren't thinking about HMs in the right way.

Well, I wanted it to be a good move, AND a good out of battle effect. Maybe Instead of replacing headbutt, you can use skull bash as an hm on its own, and use it to bring down BIG trees, most likely 3x or 4x as tall as cutting trees, clearing a path. How about that?

To be honest, there's not much point... we have the HM use planned out in the RP.

So does that mean no hms can be suggested, and taken to concideration?

Indeed. 20 HMs is plenty, don't you think?

Bear in mind, though, that HMs aren't the only moves that can be used out of battle. We may have made Headbutt and Dig HMs, but we didn't make Teleport an HM. Then there's Softboiled, Milk Drink...don't we have a new PF move that does the same thing as those two? That's not an HM either...

Ah yes, very true. I remember Snowboard and Neon having outside-of-battle effects. So, soble92, you're allowed to suggest moves with such effects; it's just that they won't end up in the list you've probably seen.

And with a question. Why aren't all of the 1st 493 pokemon in the super dex? DAMN, meant to be in questions spot! (How do you make a crying face?)

Which do you mean, the SuperDex or the National Dex? In the SuperDex very few pokémon are present, because the entries take an awful lot of time to code. In the National Dex, all 493 Nintendo pokémon are present.

But theirs no information about them.
Where you catch them
what the stats are
what moves they learn
who it evloves into

all of that is not there, based on the bombur map and pokedex.

I'm talking about the super dex; nat'l dex only has pictures
