Well, just so you know, there are very few Fire types. The only two you can get before the Elite 4 are the Monkey starter and Ponyta. Afterwards, you can find a whole two new ones, one of which requires you to own LeafGreen and the other is a cheap Legendary. Other than that, you have the old guys from RBY, GSC, and RSE.
Nintendo hates fire, apparently.
Oh, and Pengy becomes Water/Steel, just so you know.
I already have my whole little group of furry slaves planned out. Empoleon, Leafeon, Clefable, a new Ghost type, a new Poison/Dark type, and a Steel/Psychic type. I left out there names so you can be introduced to them on your own. Naturally, I have been following Serebii.net like the Bible for the past few months, so no chance of me being surprised.

The reason for the continual existence of that last post eludes me.
And yeah, I figured there wouldn't be many new fire types, probably not many more ice types either. I was thinking of trading torchic over early on from one of the older versions.
Also, if your thinking about retaining any of your sanity, don't ever listen to all the songs on the official pokemon website... One or two maybe, but not all of them....

I dunno how to delete posts.
No go on the Torchic, Brian. The only way you can send over guys from the GBA games is to defeat the Elite 4 first. And even then, it's a one-way transfer. Torchic would no longer be on the GBA game and can never return.
Is it bad that I have a ytmnd of the PokeRap as a bookmark?

I've downloaded and plan to burn to a cd: "The PokeRap" and "Double Trouble, Team Rocket" song. Just waiting until I find "On the Road to Viridian City".
And why do pokemon games have to be annoying like that... fine, I have a better idea. You're probably gonna get the game before I do anyway, so after you beat the Elite Four, you can get the torchic from one of my old games, and then trade it to me. Also, are you getting diamond or pearl, gotta make sure I get the opposite one, whenever I do? While I'm sure you already said which one before, I forgot and don't feel like going through the old posts that far...
And it says delete right next to modify in the top right corner of your post!!! You just have to be logged in to delete it.

There, I deleted it.
The PokeRap is awesome, though. My sister has that old CD with all the old songs on it, that being one of them.
I chose Pearl since I always go with the Blue version. I got Blue, Silver, and Sapphire originally, so might as well stick with tradition. Since the Blue version is always less popular, that means that I have the upperhand when it comes to version-exclusive trades.
Nintendo likes having us jump through hoops to get certain Pokemon. Just like how Lugia can only be found in XD and Jirachi can only be obtained from the Coliseum preorder disk. They loves their moneys and product whoring. In any case, I am unsure if I would be able to send a Torchic to you if you lack the National Dex. First let's try with one of my Pokemon not found beforehand, like Mudkip, and see if I can send that to you. If it doesn't work, we won't have to transfer a Torchic to my Pearl only to have it stay there for some time.

Steve, this is urgent! What are the chances that Pokemon is sold out at Toys R Us!? You have until its dark, cause I don't really feel like biking after then!...

Uh... whoops. Was playing Pokemans during that time.
I'd say you probably could find it if you looked hard enough. Obviously, don't try GameStop or EB Games, since they're game stores. People will hit them up first. Plus they take the un-preordered copies out of the cases and sometimes let their employees borrow them, then still sell the game as new. I only ever preorder from there so they don't be asshats with my games.
3 Badges, close to #4.
Oh, and I have read that you can trade non-National Dex Pokemon to someone who lacks the Dex. I'll still give you a spare Mudkip.

That happened to me actually, when I bought Ruby. I opened it and there was a save already on the game.... Its kinda depressing that they actually do that...

was it a "new" copy, or used? it may have just been the save file of the previous owner if used.

No, I'm pretty sure it was new. I don't know why I'd buy a used copy of anything, I hate doing that. Plus, I have the box around here, and usually they dont sell used GB games with the box. If they do then maybe it is used though.

Nah, they sell used portable games without the cases. I'd assume they give the little UMD case for PSP games, but not the whole box. I hate hw they weasel every last penny out of their customers by giving them 15 bucks for a used game then jacking up the price by three times that amount when they sell it as "Used", and how thwy always push some crappy magazine subscriptions, usless game warrenties (I have NES games that still work fine. I doubt I need a year's worth of coverage for my games), and more preorders.
So, did you end up getting the game? I have a present for ya. It's a little guy that I bred to have one Egg Move and three TM moves (all of which were learned from the father naturally. No TMs wasted)

I still never figured out how that whole breeding crap worked... And I havent gotten it yet. I have like 30 bucks in assorted coins that I'm probably just gonna coinstar because I'm lazy... Then I'll mooch 5 more bucks off someone to make up whatevers missing, or I'll just wait until I get more change.

Breeding is very complicated with all the Egg Groups and such. I am also using a Smeargle to breed Wish onto my Eevee once I can transfer from Emerald to Pearl.
That's why you should get one of those neat things called "jobs." I hear they give you money in exchange for working.
Oh, do you happen to have a Treecko, Bulbasuar, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile on any of the GBA games? I need those guys. Just got a Japanese Turtwig from the Global Trade Station (GTS) for one of sisters of the Pokemon I will surprise you with. I'll breed you one once I can.
