Opelucid (white) theme is baller. I've left my gameboy on for a few hours with that playing just because I wanted the background music.

Gee, Brain...

Nuzlocking this game is a massive pain in the arse, that bloody critical hit ratio will be the bane of me...not to mention scaleable XP gains making it hard to be totally overlevelled.

Strongly disagree.
A, what you've described can and often does still happen with lowering guys to the red. B, False Swipe use to catch wild Pokemon is usually one of the first steps a player takes from being a total newb to being an intermediate skill-level player. But you've certainly got the makings for one of the many Pokemon web comics out there these days. ^^;

I actually had no idea why they introduced critical captures. Don't know that I'll ever forget the first time it happened to me though. "D-did I just use my Master Ball!? ....... waaaaaait a second! I DON'T HAVE A MASTER BALL YET!"
I disagree with your disagree with my disagree ... but lest this get too complex, I only disagree with it at the same original level I disagreed with you the first time around. Soo ... "I disagree with you." (1) 80% have a damage recoil move on hand now? Oh come now. I could believe 10% tops and even that I'd have a hard time believing. (2) If you're that worried about recoil, don't use it against ones who have recoil moves. -OR- (3) If you're that worried about recoil, take preventative measures against it -- namely, use Sleep Powder or Spore. Indeed, the best all-around purpose Pokémon catcher in the games remains a Level 100 Adamant Parasect with good defenses. Not because Parasect is grand by any measure, but because he can learn both Spore and False Swipe. Dude was immensely worthwhile to keep on hand in HGSS and I don't see that being much different for B/W once you import things over. Turn 1, outspeed (thanks, Level 100 stats!) and put to sleep @ 100% accuracy. Turn 2, swipe. Turn 3, start throwing balls. Should it wake up and do a recoil or selfdestruct move? Meh, try again next creature. You still did everything right. (And in the case of something like selfdestruct, False Swipe wasn't what hurt you anyway. I know you didn't mention this. I'm just saying. ) Maybe you have a point that it's less useful than in Gen 4. But to say that this guy is trolling people ... I find that hard to believe. I would still use False Swipe.

Agreeing with Talon about False Swipe.
When I heard about Critical Captures from my friend, I didn't believe them. Thought it was some rumor they heard online. After looking on serebii, I was surprised to find they were right. Apparently, the trainer can now score a critical hit when hurling the pokeball- Or it's possible a critical capture is the pokemon being captured off it's guard. |

If ya's say so! Its still a viable move for catching PKMN I never denied that. There is a 3 in 4 chance PKMN won't knock itself out to for those that have self-sacrificing moves. Just seems like overall its effectiveness has been cut from past gens. It might make the catch more satisfying I guess... but its still kinda a dick move to have that as an in-game tip (then again who even bothers to get their pokedexs rated...) when only all of 12 Unova PKMN can even be taught the dang move lol.

Can somebody find me the interview (Japanese or English, either works) where GameFreak was interviewed about how they wanted to reach out to their adult fans with Generation 5, and how they tried to do so via such things as:
