[QUOTE="Backlash24"] DAMN. I knew I forgot to look for something at Walmart today! Oh well -- for SRPGs on the DS I would really really recommend Blue Dragon -- I personally really love it (although I realize its not the most loved game out there).SiK99

Also, although it's more of an RTS game, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings is also extremely good.

FFTA2 and Disgaea DS.

i usually like action RPGs best (demon's souls, mass effect 2) as far as role playing goes... i was thinking chinatown wars, cool to read an endorsement... is mario kart the best mario game?

The World Ends With You is probably the best action RPG on the system, but it's style isn't for everyone. Phantasy Star Zero might be better in that regard.

Mario Kart is the most replayable racing game on the system, while New Super Mario Bros. is a standard mario platformer, but it's also very good.

I almost entirely second this. The World Ends With You has a very deep story, and engaging combat, but a lot of people don't like his japanese heavy style.

Phantasy Star Zero, well, lots of people seems to like this one, but for me was a very boring experience.Get a mission, mash button to kill monster, get a mission, mash button again to kill more monsters. Repeat ad nauseum.

Mario Kart DS is always a good game to get because you simply can't get tired of it.

Chinatown Wars is a good choice. One of the best games in the handheld. Believe me few things on the DS is more fun than grabbing a flamethrower and go fwooshing against the entire city.

Can somebody recommend some good Adventure games? I enjoyed the Ace Attorney titles and the spin offs, Trace Memories and Hotel Dusk. Thanks in advance.

If you didn't play it, the Broken Sword: Shadow of Templars is a good old style point'n'click adventure game.

Shaymin is a move offensive-minded Celebi. Actually the difference between them is that Shaymin has a more limited movepool, but has Seed Flare and Is a pure grass type, which does not give him a Pursuit weakness.

It can be useful in some few teams, filling few specific roles, but overall, Celebi can do anything he does, and do it better.

Ho-oh is not HeartGold exclusive.

But i've got HeartGold too, because Kyogre is a HG exclusive.

Smeargle learns all these moves via Sketch, but has 75 base speed which is quite low. And it's frail but is your best bet. At least it gets spore, wich helps a lot.

Not counting smeargle, no normal pokemon can learn Spikes or Toxic Spikes.

Clefable, Miltank and Blissey can learn stealth rock, and are viable users.

Miltank is only useful for UU, but it has a lot of better options for support.

Clefable is a great addition as support, as it learns Encore, wish, aromatherapy, dual screens, thunder wave, and is one of the best users of trick, since it can trick a poison orb at someone not suffering the damage from the poison. It can also stall in hail/sandstorm teams with an wish/cosmic power/toxic/seismic toss set, and you can drop toxic if you use toxic spikes you can drop the toxic for the Stealth Rock. It has base 60 speed but has the bulk to easily use the rocks.

Blissey.. Erm, you should know this pink blob. If you don't, just be aware that it WALL THE ENTIRE SPECIAL SIDE OF THE METAGAME. Simply as that. It forces a lot of switches and is a viable user. Again, low speed, base 55, but it has the best bulk possible, at least for the special side.

They are tiers used in competitive battle to create environments in which weaker pokemon can be used effectively.

OU stands for Overused, and is the tier of pokemon most used. It's the Standard tier. UU Stands for Underused and is the place in which less used pokemon is used. There is also Uber tier, which is a tier made of pokemon banned fom standard play, like Lugia, Mewtwo and Garchomp, the Borderline, which is a tier made of pokemon banned from UU but with not enough usage in OU to be in OU tier, and the NU, the Neverused tier, which is made with pokemon even less used than UU.

Pokemon of a lower tier can be used in a higher tier, but higher tier's pokemon are banned from the lowers tier. This means that you can use Clefable, a UU poke, in OU, but since Kyogre is uber you will never be able to use it in Standard.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: IF you're going to buy it ONLY to play and then toss it aside, is a very, very, very bad move. It's just too many money used to play single game. Now, if you think that you would like to have a handheld and if you feel attracted to other games, then it'll be a good idea to get a DS.

Far from it. It's a SRPG, resembling Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea, but with groups of 3 monsters/characters instead of single units. And different mechanics, of course.

Oopsie!
