Seems to be a lot of people's favorite poison type. Not that I'm complaining because he's mine too.

There's always been one on my team, to be honest. Like, since R/B/Y! (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald don't count.)
Hell... The one I have now (who is shiny GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH <3) has been with me since FireRed! As well as my Tyranitar from the same game, but a different savefile... But yeah, all but my Hydreigon have been with me for years. D:
I was SO sad when I found out that you couldn't trade between Silver and Ruby. Seriously. My mother thought I had done something serious, I shouted so loud when I tried it. Her face when I explained it was priceless though.

I currently have a special based Nidoking with Sheer Force and a bunch of moves that benefit from it, he's a powerhouse.

I'm not sure, but I can forsee a future gen where you can't trade forward. Think about how much the mechanics of the game and the sheer technology updated from Gameboy gen to Advance gen. If they ever want to do a big overhaul of the game mechanics like that again they might have to disallow trading from previous gens again. I still have pokes from LeafGreen, so I'd both hate to see that and welcome new improved game mechanics. Its a toss up for me.

Bah, if they do that then I'm gonna hack the savegame and replicate my lovelies with it. I don't care, I really don't. I had to piece them back together one by one after Gen III, and I don't want to do that again. I had to tweak them so much to get the stats right, it wasn't funny at all. x.=.x

So yeah, Gen VI, if they break it, then I'll break Gen VI SO I CAN CARRY ON PLAYING WITH MY LOVELIES. :/

Killa shade. Suitably ominous.

Blue because SHINY Nidokings are blue. But yesh, they're freakin' tanks~ Hell, Krieg (the in-game one, not my character that IS SUSPICIOUSLY LIKE YOU) hasn't fainted in I don't know how many matches. POISON JAB GO!

Shade as in, the lighting. Not the best choice of words, I know; blame being two-thirds of the way asleep.

As for the similarities... I'm sure you had no clue of my existence before a short while back, and I'm not the paranoid type anyway.

I'd use my own in-game Nido (Hugo) to lay the smackdown, if I didn't stick strictly to the "big boy" arenas (Battle Frontier in Enerald, the equivalent in Platinum, etc) Where less-than-stellar defenses and a common weakness spell your inevitable doom. EQ gives him indigestion.

Oh~ I get you now. Heh... Well thank you kindly for it then! I'm only using three 'colours' or rather, altering one colour so I can get the hang of shadows properly (if just monochrome..), glad to see that I'm managing it!

Eh, if you were in a double battle against me, you were bloody screwed. I had him teamed up with a Weavile named Blitz (AUGH AWFUL PUN, but SO TRUE!), they just annihilated everything. Whatever Blitz didn't tear to pieces, he trampled over. Even legendaries. It was soooo much fun, I have to say. Got banned for 'hacking' from a few things.

Any my frontier records... Heh, let's just not go there, eh? Let's just say that after you get to the higher-numbered winstreaks things start to get really bloody scary. And Dwarf-Fortress-style-FUN. :V

Yeah, my wins are through the roof as well, at least on Emerald (Haven't played half as long on my Platinum, for several reasons), just never with Nido. I guess we all have our own individual teams / duos that work for us, plus it took me forever just to find an effective team that won't fall to incredibly bad bouts / streaks of luck.

For the longest time I kept getting pissed off at Lucy. AUGH luck-based thing is annoying! But yeah, that's true. Mine tend to be the big rawry monsterish ones. XD

Awesome!
