If you're expecting it to hatch at an exact time, read the rules again.

Silver for your Pond thread might be helpful if you put what thier types are too :)

Pond...? Oh, do you mean Pound? Um, they're not hard to figure out. I don't just pull types from thin air - if you know what types the original Pokemon were, you should be able to tell which types the IPA are. Even for those with four possible types, you've got a 50/50 shot of being right, and that's what the IPAdex is for.

Also, The N00b, I suggest you learn to read. Seriously, if you want to join, you've got to at least partially know what's going on, and for that, you have to have browsed the section a little bit. Reading the first post in The Store should answer your question...

And hey, just for fun, since you all seem to think you know what's in The N00b's egg, PM me your guesses! I'll tell you if you're right.

ok, so i got IC. Is there anything else that i should know about that arent in the rules?

Post by **Silver** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 9:53 pm

No, no, I don't think so... Just remember the rule that states you can't complain about what you get from an egg.

Belldum - Gender: Male; Type: Grass, Steel; Abilities: Clear Body, Clorophyll; Attacks: Take Down, Vine Whip

I mean, I know it LOOKS bad, but think about it: A Grass/Steel Type! It's only weak to Fire types... but you miiight want to watch out for them.

Er, give a nickname to Belldum?

Post by **Cheezdude** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:05 pm

OMG BELLDUM...

THAT IS SO AWESOME! I WANT IT! IT LOOKS AWESOME...

AND it has nice starter moves.

But the name is bad. But, either way, it would've been the name of one of them.

Nickname it 'OH GOD IT'S SCARY!'

OMG Just think of what it will look like when it evolves!

Post by **Silver** » Wed Aug 08, 2007 10:19 pm

The difference is in the number of l's. There's only one in Beldum, but there's two in Bellsprout. And I had to do it the way I did, or else both evolved forms would be 'Metabell'.

As for the moves... Bellsprout only starts with Vine Whip, and Beldum only starts with Take Down. IPA always get one starting move from each of the base Pokemon, so there you have it. The next few moves it gets are pretty lame because Bellsprout really doesn't get anything but lame attacks... but, as with all other IPA, they get better as you go.

As for it's evolved forms, I've tried NOT to think about them... really, The N00b; take your time with the evolution.

OMG!!!! Beldum is like my favorite pokemon!! Silver's a mind reader i swear...... Well anyway, thanks...What should i do now? Do i just pick an IPA randomly in the wild and start attacking? And how much IC do i start with?

Post by **Giga-Gar** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 11:46 am

you wait for someone to finnish fighting a gym leader

Post by **Silver** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:10 pm

Yes, you just randomly start attacking a wild IPA. You can't post in Golden Fields or The Ocean until you have a badge, and you don't have any IC to start. There are only three ways to get IC: Beating a Gym Leader, giving your IPA a Star Dust Coin to hold, or using Pay Day. The only IPA so far that get Payday are Carveowth and Meowbone, and Carveowth only appears in The Ocean, where you can't post. Star Dust Coins can only be bought from The Store, and you don't have any IC. So your only option is defeating Roxanne.

Are we clear, and do you have any more questions that sould be answered if you'd just read?

Post by **Blastotoise** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 1:29 pm

So just pick an IP from the IPAdex and battle it?

OH, and i have some other questions for silver....

1.How long have you been doing IPA?

2.How long does it take to make an IP?

3.What program do you use and where do you get your sprites?

4.Do you plan on making D/P IPs?

5. How do the addition of evolutions of pokemon that already IPs affect IPA?

6.Do you plan on making IPs with no weaknesses? (like Sableye or Spiritomb?

Random question: How far ahead is the One Piece Manga ahead of the Anime?
