pokemon xy
pokemon is now transphobic?
Oh. and I don't really like the Pokemon names.
Fennekin looks adorable giggle;
froakle GOAT
either way not buying this game
even though they both are making a Y shape you can tell that the deer is the legendary for X and the bird is the legendary for Y
I hate those names, but the game does look pretty decent. I'm glad they're not trying to keep the tiny characters, since I felt that looked a little weird in the DS games. They work so well as 2D sprites, but for 3D I think the full-modeled look they're doing looks pretty good. Since the 3DS has a thumbpad I hope you aren't locked into up/down/left/right movement like the older games, but the trailer makes me think you are.
The three starters don't look very good, but they almost never do. Here's hoping the evolutions as well as the rest of the new pokemon are decent.
I thought black and white were great steps in the right direction, so I hope they continue down that path.
The worldwide release is also really cool. Hopefully I can buy a 3DS XL by the time Animal Crossing comes out and I'll get this as well.
I also look forward to the inevitable remakes of Ruby and Sapphire with this engine in a year or two
One of those cities seems to be based on Paris (Eiffel Tower-looking building in background at 0:27, Pikachu starts video from the Eiffel Tower as well) plus a lot of the "fancy" designs seen, and the character's outfits (I think you can see the girl protagonist at 0:26 and 0:28) it seems like the map is based on France or Europe as a whole
Also at 0:27 it looks like the protagonist is rollerskating.
This is the only reason to own a 3DS anymore
i hope the sequels are to be titled z and w for those non-mammalian pokemon whose sexes aren't determined using the x-y system

ew
i don't really like the style of the 3d characters; it reminds me of how the familiars look in ni no kuni with the cel-shading and everything
I like the grass and fire starters, but I'm not so fond of the frog
At one point in the video, the pokeball meter is visible on the top screen during battle but no other UI elements are and it's absent during move animations. I wonder if things like HP and exp were moved to the touch screen.
I was already planning on getting a 3DS (XL) around either summer or winter this year, but this game alone gives me more reason to want one than the rest of its weak existing library. Before this announcement, even Wii U's library looked better to me than 3DS's.

2 and Y

Z would be the logical one because [spoiler]3D[/spoiler]
but if it really is a case like black/white in which there were direct sequels instead of a third complete version, i honestly will be p. disappointed if they don't go with z and w :'(
Z will probably be the third one because of the 3D angle and also because the game seems to be based of Europe and Norse mythology. The legend of Yggdrasil has three central animals: an Eagle, three stags (three colors in horns) and a wyvrn/dragon. Would be pretty easy to make a serpent into a z for cover art
Also I think this is the best batch of starters since ruby sapphire where I could see myself potentially picking any of the three... Although the frog would probably be at the bottom for me. Still, not as hateable as infernape or that fire pig

oh great so that's the direction the fire starter is going in...
Too bad I have no interest in Pokemon.
the fire starter is a qt
fuck u faggots frog is awesome
i don't mind the frog but fire starter is seriously cute as hell
im ready for them to make an attractive grass starter
idk i didn't really mind snivy..........but it's not like had much competition..........
The grass starters have often been very goofy looking so yeah
I think they all look decent but I'll have to wait and see they're evolutions before I pick one
I will also say that these graphics look like they could have been done on the DS
I said it on facebook but I'll say it here too. Those starter designs seriously look like fanart. I honestly wasn't sure if this was real until I checked the channel the trailer was on.

i wonder if the westerner who designed vanillish was responsible for one of the starters
finally, pikachu in 3d.......a 3d pikachu we can hold.

I am okay with the in-battle graphics at least... Better than sprites, I mean at least it's an effort.
And I still don't see how anyone could really hate these starters much more than the previous two generations'

I only saw a screenshot but it looks too barren. It showed one of the of the dirt or rocky paths I guess, and it was too big and wide for having such a small tile being used over and over again.
But, it could look better when it's shrunk down on the screen.

No, that's why I said that I only saw the one screenshot. And I also said that the repeated tile sections looked horrible, and it's because of it's small size and no variation.
Games like Resident Evil Revelations and Super Mario 3D Land show the 3DS is capable of great graphics.
(http://fronttowardsgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/super-mario-3d-land-screenshot1.jpg)
(http://hardreset.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/boss-fightrev.jpg)
That being said, standard 3DS game cards can carry up to 2 GB. Extended card sizes, such as Revelations used (4 GB) are available to developers. The 3DS game card can go up to 8 GB.
I understand with all the programming and Pokemon and whatnot, memory may be limited. But I don't understand why they wouldn't use a little more memory. Developers don't charge any extra amount for their games to be larger (at least in the 3DS library) so I don't get why GAMEFREAK would do this.
Today, Nintendo released one of the most boring videos ever to show a tiny bit more of the game; it just shows some battle animations for the newly-revealed Sylveon (Eevee evolution whose type they're still trying to keep secret)
[spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pse_I1klRhA[/youtube][/spoiler]
Sylveon confirmed for worst eevee-lution ever.
Doesn't really look like Eevee either, looks more like skitty and milotic had a strange lovechild
if nothing else, at least that video does show that battlefields are animated with features like fluttering leaves and grass being blown by wind
without even background music, the incomplete and in-development status really shows

Today, Nintendo released one of the most boring videos ever to show a tiny bit more of the game; it just shows some battle animations for the newly-revealed Sylveon (Eevee evolution whose type they're still trying to keep secret)
[spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pse_I1klRhA[/youtube][/spoiler]
the type is likely to be normal

http://thegamershub.net/2013/03/rumor-anonymous-4chan-user-claims-pokemon-x-y-bring-big-changes/
I don't believe these at all... partially because I would really dislike it if true and partially because obviously it's a random person on 4chan.
Anyway, I really hope that most of these new pokemon will in fact be new pokemon. Baby forms are completely worthless (two rumored are pinsir and heracross infants). Adding evolutions to existing pokemon is better since it can change the competitive scene, but I still find it to be rather uncreative.
Co-op would be cool though provided you're not completely tied at the hip to "the leader"
Speculations of a leak tonight.
Also, I'm looking forward to getting this game.

Four new pokemon revealed today without English names:
A lizard thing, normal/electric
A goat, grass-type
A panda, fighting-type
A bird, normal/flying
Screenshots show riding the goat in the overworld
Both protagonists have full concept art now, with screenshots showing that you can choose one of (only) three appearances for each at the beginning of the game: normal, blonde hair, or dark skin.
also it looks like there's no mention of sylveon, let alone its type

My opinions on these: the panda is great, the bird is just obligatory and nothing special, and the other two are good. I have no idea what the lizard's head is supposed to be.
Riding pokemon might be interesting, but hopefully there's a good sizeable set of pokemon that can be ridden
also the female protagonist looks like her thigh is wider than her waist in that concept art

The magazine that these scans are from isn't solely dedicated to pokemon; for example, Doraemon is visible on the same page (left edge, right above Mewtwo's arm).

The only new pokemon that are revealed to any extent so far are:
three starters
two cover legendaries
Sylveon (new eevee)
these four new pokemon from yesterday
new Mewtwo form
They wouldn't intentionally put art of a new unrevealed pokemon in the corner of the page by itself like that, but there is one part of this issue that might show more new pokemon: the artwork on this left page that shows the male protagonist riding the goat:

Victreebel's name is also cut short to fit in 10 characters.
It's
at least 12 and might be longer. The french name for Pancham is 12 characters long.
Technically this doesn't confirm anything for English games, but all Latin-based languages have always shared name limits. It likely can be assumed that this change extends to nicknames too. Moves also have a longer maximum, but they haven't really had any problems with length yet.

Why decide now when we know basically nothing about version differences?
X as a letter sounds cooler than Y, but Y is the oppressor chromosome, so...
i always feel dumb because i literally have no idea what the differences in versions are lol
Quote from: Dovydas on May 14, 2013, 02:05:46 PM
i always feel dumb because i literally have no idea what the differences in versions are lol
The only worthwhile difference is in version-exclusive pokemon: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Version-exclusive_Pok%C3%A9mon
Other differences so far include:
Title screens
There are a few instances where certain pokemon are rarer, but not excluded entirely from, one version.
In Gold/Silver and HeartGold/SoulSilver, one legendary pokemon is available earlier in the game while the other can be caught much later but at a higher level
Gold and Silver have completely different Pokemon sprites
In Ruby/Sapphire, Teams Magma/Aqua swap roles between versions, making some changes in trainer battles, story/dialogue, and aesthetics.
In Diamond/Pearl, Black/White, and Black2/White2 the different version-exclusive legendary slightly changes the dialogue/story.
In Black/White and Black2/White2, several locations have dramatically different appearance, a few trainers (mostly the triple battles) are different, and there's one exclusive location (Black City or White Forest). In Black/White, this exclusive location is practically worthless and in Black2/White2 it was completely repurposed in a way that makes the primary difference between versions aesthetic.
Third versions (Blue JP, Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum) have many more differences, of course
Based on the only difference we know right now - the legendary on the box, I would prefer Y
I thought the rumors floating around the internet about a new fairy type were mostly a guess (and possible leak), but apparently Sylveon's Japanese name's official romanization is Nymphia, which makes the fairy reference (nymph) quite obvious. Compare that to some other eevee evolutions' Japanese names: Showers, Thunders, Blacky, Glacia, Leafia.
Also the word "Sylph" is associated with fairies, but that's less clear of an association imo.
Maybe it's a whore pokemon

I wonder how the lack of 3DS emulators, save file editors, etc. will affect the competitive pokemon scene for X and Y. Maybe there will be another GTS sort of thing that people can intercept with network settings again, but until then, I guess everyone will either stick to transferred old pokemon or actually play the games legitimately.
Considering how easy it is to copy save data to/from an SD card, if they release the game digitally, it'll be easy to at least duplicate pokemon.

I would guess they'd just transfer over for old pokemon which don't get any significant changes
I kind of wish they'd just get rid of EV/IVs. Too much work and hardly anyone actually levels multiple pokemon to high levels with perfect stats. Becomes more a matter of which "trainer" has more time on their hands

I think IVs in particular are ridiculous, but EVs aren't nearly as bad, though I believe they should if kept actually be recognized by the game in a way that makes sense to players and be trainable in a more elegant/sensible way.
I personally avoid competitive battling so I don't really mess with either of them.

W-well, I go on /vp/, and there are some people who think that some people are going to crack the 3DS soon, but I don't know- I hope not. And about the GTS, I guess people will have control over the five previous generations- though I'm not too sure how it's going to be for the 6th generation. I really would like to see how this generation will play out- because if everything goes as planned, then this will be the most "mysterious" generation in a long time since nobody can hack the games or something and release everything as soon as the games are released.
I'd also like to see how different a generation of no cheating would be. I mean, in every generation, there has always been ways to get 100x Rare Candy and etc. in-game- eventually coming to just editing or making your own Pokémon on Pokésav/Pokégen. I guess one thing would be that it'd take way more time to get the desired stats of a Pokémon. Then there's the possibility of hidden Pokémon that won't be advertized or may never released. (Like how The Key Items for the in-game events for Arceus, Shaymin, and Darkrai were never released in the U.S., at least legitimately.) IV's will probably be hard to determine since there's no more Pokécheck (Or I assume, anyway.) unless there's a change for them.
I like how there's some people considering ditching Pokémon X/Y and maybe generations past that because of the possibility of a new type. Which seems pretty huge with the interpretations of a skit on Pokémon Smash a few weeks ago- they showed a woman dressed in a Sylveon costume, and her doing things so that other people on the show guess what type it is. Some people interpreted the skit with Sylveon being immune to Dragon, super effective against Ice, being affected by Poison- very unique type reactions, assuming that the interpretations are going on the right path, in which I kind of believe. But GAMEFREAK sure can be...a tease...

I would guess they'd just transfer over for old pokemon which don't get any significant changes
I kind of wish they'd just get rid of EV/IVs. Too much work and hardly anyone actually levels multiple pokemon to high levels with perfect stats. Becomes more a matter of which "trainer" has more time on their hands
I'd like for IV's to go, (Fuck breeding and deleting Pokémon- all so repetitive as shit.) but EV's can stay. Because there's flexibility in choosing how specifically you want your Pokémon to be- a tank, a sweeper, a hybrid, or your own spread of EV's. I like variety with stats of the same Pokémon. Without EV's, then it just relies on what nature (Way easier to retain than IV's will ever be, for now.) your Pokémon is and what attacks it has- pretty bland, in my opinion. And there are items that help the EV training, and even getting your Pokémon caught with Pokérus, which makes it faster by doubling the amount of EV's you get per battle. I mean, it doesn't take too long to EV train. (Probably an hour or so, from my experiences with the suggested EV training stuff I mentioned.) Then with Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2, there's Join Avenue, where there's shops and other stops that can help you with all of this, too, even leveling and breeding.

As of Gen 5 it's much easier to train pokemon up to higher levels than before and I'd expect that precedent to continue, so at least rare candies matter less than before.
In Gen 5, some of the event legendaries that we knew about since practically B/W release due to game rips weren't officially announced until much later. I think Genesect in particular wasn't officially announced until like last year and the others include Keldeo and Meloetta.

Why would a new type be reason to ditch Pokemon? confuseddood;
Pokemon always changes something major about the mechanics with every generation and I don't see how types are especially important in terms of staying the same. It's not like the current set of types is flawlessly balanced.
Pokemon Smash is ridiculous and that skit might not even be about type advantages; it could have just been showing a few types that Sylveon is not.
If they made another type strong against Ice then Ice is almost complete garbage. Might just be better to stick ice attacks on water pokemon

i dont think interesting means what you think it means
All the pokemon we saw this week have english names now
Litleo (Fire/Normal): the lion cub
Flabébé (Fairy): the tiny 4-inch-tall thing that stands on a big flower
Clauncher (Water): blue shrimp
Skrelp (Poison/Water): the brown/purple seadragon
Scatterbug (Bug): yet another worm
Spewpa (Bug): evolution of scatterbug, gains a white coat
Vivillon (Bug/Flying): evolution of spewpa, pink butterfly
Noivern (Flying/Dragon): purple dragon with satellite dish ears
Talonflame (Fire/Flying): evolution of fletchling, orange bird
this makes a total of 19 known Gen6 pokemon, or 20 if you count mewtwo's new form
The male protagonist's "default" name might be either Xavier or Calem and female's either Yvonne or Serena. Promotional screenshots so far show the former names for the player, but the latter is used for a rival that resembles the other-gender player character.
flabĂ©bĂ© joins nidoranâ™, and nidoran♀ in having a name that's impossible to type on an ASCII keyboard myface;
but at least it uses the same accented e as the word "pokémon"
dynamic lighting unintentionally confirmed because of alternate-language screenshots being taken at different times
especially by pokemon standards, it's surprising to have this much detail in something like lighting, with shadows cast based on time of day and clouds causing patches of darker lighting

i always wondered why you haven't ignored me yet
anyway no
So we now know of 25 new Pokemon
and the expected unknown evolutions of them would be (in my opinion):
6 total starter evolutions
Gogoat pre-evolution (which we've sorta seen already)
Clauncher and Skrelp look likely to evolve about once
Litleo looks likely to evolve once or twice
Cotton Candy and Pink bird-fairy look likely to evolve about once
Helioptile, Noivern, Flabebe, and Honedge don't have any known evolution (or pre-evolution) and look to me like the sort of pokemon that might have no evolutions. Especially Honedge.
Between the 6 previously-confirmed Fairy-types (3 new), 2 known evolutions which should keep the type (Wigglytuff and Azumarill), today's 2 more new Fairies, and their expected ~2 evolutions, there would be about 12 fairies. Considering the next smallest type, Ghost, has 28 known species, we probably have a lot more fairies to learn about.
Posted on the internet two months ago: http://pokebeach.com/2013/05/last-of-the-pokemon-x-y-insider-information
QuoteA Pokemon named Inkay evolves into Malimar. To evolve it, you have to hold your 3DS upside-down when it levels up (the 3DS has an accelerometer and gyroscope, so it can detect that). Malimar’s type is Dark/Psychic.
1. These names suggest squids, which these pokemon indeed are
2. Dark/Psychic is confirmed
3. The second squid does indeed look upside-down
These confirmed details are so specific that I expect these not-yet-announced English names to be true too. We'll find out via English website update within the next week anyway.
Ugh, that's a ridiculous evolution method.
QuotePancham evolves into Pangoro in the early level 30s. In order to evolve Pancham into Pangoro, you need to have one other Dark-type Pokemon in your party. Pangoro’s type is Fighting/Dark.
Corocoro announced that Pancham's evolution method is some new method without being specific. With a Japanese name of Goronda, Pangoro seems like a likely English name.
QuoteDraining Kiss is a Fairy-type attack that heals the user for the same amount of damage performed. It has a base power of 60.
Corocoro shows the cotton candy pokemon using a new Fairy-type move called "Drain Kiss" in Japanese games (pronounced as English words).
The previous 'leak' from this same source (http://pokebeach.com/2013/05/supposed-pokemon-x-and-y-insider-information) got one notable detail wrong: dual-type attacks. Released UI screenshots (http://serebii.net/xy/chespinmoves2.jpg) show no space for a second type indicator unless they do something like use smaller markers to make it fit.
Other interesting not-yet-known information from that second leak include EV facility, second Mew-like Mewtwo form, and psychic cats.

I remember being a bit skeptical of this, though now I'm starting to see that...damn, there are some legitimate leaks. Though, the original leaker did say that some of the info is fake and that was up to us to weed them out.

In my opinion they should've gotten rid of Ash
Pokemon Adventures (the manga) uses new protagonists based on each game's player characters with each new subseries and that's one of the main factors that makes it so much more interesting than the anime.
It also helps that every single one of those characters has more personality than Ash. And that there's actual plot.

Actually, no, only one of the Pokedex Holders (protagonists) in Adventures shows any intention to catch them all: Crystal. She of course doesn't appear much after the Johto arc.
the plot is mostly bad guys doing bad things
In the anime too, Ash doesn't pay much attention to the "gotta catch 'em all" catchphrase either and has an absolutely pathetic pokedex owned list. For him, it's mostly "gotta meet and befriend 'em all"

that gogoat preevolution is adorable and i need it
the bunny seems cool
that mouse is... weird. kinda reminds me of a chinese knockoff or something
i hate the name "mega evolutions" but the concept is okay i suppose, and the designs actually look pretty good. i just hope they apply it to a lot of pokemon (mainly pokemon that have 3 evolution stages)
this would actually be a good time to put the term "ex" into the games like the card game has.
i do hope they're temporary evolutions but i wonder what the cost/benefit is of using them
honestly i would have just preferred 4th stage evolutions for some pokemon
oh the gogoat's preevolution is named Meekuru no wonder it's so cute~

mega kangaskhan shown with baby growing action
i think these forms are okay because i doubt they'll be allowed in the metagame, considering it's basically just a hold item that turns them into these forms. i also doubt these forms will be that broken, and will probably just use the dream world abilities with maybe a difference in stats (eg mons with high special attack might switch their special attack and special defense)
but that's just what i think

his design is practically the same as the Red that appears in FR/LG/HG/SS/B2/W2/Brawl
except that this anime's art style is a bit odd, particularly with faces
Red has had brown hair in every appearance ever since the 2004 redesign.
red's hair in b2w2 is actually black
since that was the most recent depiction of him in game, (or so i think) i just thought it was now officially known that red actually has black hair
edit what the fuck im checking out that...his hair is a dark brown?

Oh, I just checked the sprites and it indeed is black in overworld and front sprites (in all those games), sharing the same palette color as his shirt sleeve.
But he has brown hair on sprites with higher hair detail, like backsprite and intro sprite, as well as all promotional art and 3D models. Although his Gen4/Gen5 appearances (excluding Brawl) don't have enough detail to feature a brown palette color, I'd say he still probably has brown hair.
this weekend people got to play demos of pokemon x/y. i could have covered but lol irl inconveniences. in this one, the prof. is showing the mega evo process and gives you a mewdwo. battling seems a bit more faster now

at first this sounded okay, but then
QuotePokémon Bank is a paid service, with an annual charge for usage.
myface;
The Pokemon Stadium games and Gamecube's Pokemon Box just store a ton of pokemon on a game save you have locally. Why can't they do something like that again? I'd even be fine with paying once to buy an app, but not with buying a subscription to a sevice that has no reason to be cloud-based.
It looks like this service is also required in order to transfer any Gen5 pokemon over. There is a free trial (which is possibly only available to people who buy the game soon after launch), so that gives enough chance to transfer everything over from the start if you want to.
And it's about time they started offering previous starter pokemon earlier in the game. Very few pokemon games offer previous starters at all and those that do require you to do something like complete the entire regional pokedex first.
still dont know which to get
Quote from: N o t S i d on September 06, 2013, 06:44:10 PM
still dont know which to get
There are 2 factors that determine what Pokemon game to get. One being the cover and the other being the version exclusives.
With that said, I was leaning towards Y, but now I'm not sure.
There's a lot of new stuff today:
Full type matchup chart (in Japanese):
[spoiler](http://www.serebii.net/corocoro91311.jpg)[/spoiler]
Fairy's matchups in particular are:
defensively: resistant to fighting, bug, and dark, invulnerable to dragon, and weak to poison and steel
offensively: weak to fire, poison, and steel, super effective against fighting, dragon, and dark
I don't have time to check if any of the other matchups have changed
There's now form2 evolutions of all three new starters. Chespin's looks ridiculous, the other two are nice.
Mega Mewtwo actually has two different forms on X and Y. We saw the Y one before, the new X one gains the fighting-type.
Mega Garchomp
New fossil pokemon
A smug-looking psychic cat
A poodle

Chespin's evolution is HILARIOUS
Not a fan of baby Vulpix's evolution.
Frog's is pretty sweet though
Man all the starter evolutions are really disappointing... Was sort ofhoping fennekin would remain a quadraped . Chespin looks like a chestnut... And stupid. All of them look like bad fan art that just makes bigger versions of the first forms without really changing anything or adding anything new.
But I really like the fossil pokemon at least, especially the longneck

chespin's evolution is so fucking bad, and i wanted to choose him too
froakie's evolution actually looks pretty cool though so i might go with him
Wait, where ate you guys seeing the starters evolutions?
two matchups changed that I didn't notice before my post yesterday: although it does resist fairy, steel lost two old resistances to ghost and dark, lowering its resist count to 10 and doubling the number of types that hit steel with regular 1x damage.
The effect of type changes on some existing newly-Fairy pokemon are:
Gardevoir: loses weaknesses to bug and dark, keeps weakness to ghost, and gains weaknesses to poison and steel. Its fighting resistance is boosted from 0.5x to 0.25x, it keeps the psychic resistance, and it gains full dragon immunity.
These changes improve its defense quite a bit, trading its existing weaknesses for less common attack types, gaining an immunity, and having no lost resistances.
Mawile: loses resistance to steel and ghost, loses fighting weakness, bug resistance boosted from 0.5x to 0.25x, dragon resistance boosted from 0.5x to 0x, gains fairy resistance, and keeps two more weaknesses and eight more resistances (including even dark; despite Steel losing that resist, Fairy has it)

I like Fennekin's evolution.
Upon closer observation that is not on my phone i suppose fennekins is okay due to the broom detail
The pokemon site updated, so english details and clearer pictures were revealed
Chespin -> Quilladin
Fennekin -> Braixen
Froakie -> Frogadier
Litleo -> Pyroar
Furfrou, the poodle pokemon, has customizable appearance depending on how you groom it, with the hair regrowing to its default condition after a few days.

Meowstic is the new psychic-type cat which has totally different appearance by gender. The site even suggests that the male one is better at double battle support while the female one is better at actually attacking.

Really really want the Sauropod. Refrigerate sounds amazing... A move like headbutt becoming an ice type move? Great stuff. 4xs weakness to fighting kind of hurts though
Excited for character customization, been wanting that since gen iii. hope boys can get haircuts too, looking mighty androgynous there
the blue meowstic looks cool, that's probably the boy right?
i'm liking all these new pokemon designs, but i feel like the artwork itself has been getting worse

Many of them will, but probably not all.
At least, we currently know that the starter pokemon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle) can be chosen and obtained fairly early in the game. Pikachu is probably a fairly common wild pokemon found in grass somewhere. I would be surprised if they don't make many other kanto pokemon available wild, especially Magikarp, Tentacool, and Zubat.

Going to the dugtrio/magneton evolution method I see
I caved and preordered the game.
X
i dont even know which version i want more
though i only care slightly about the legendaries to begin with, i think the deer looks kinda dumb but i am also sick and tired of bird legendaries
other than that i dont really know what to base my choice on as i havent seen a comprehensive list of differences yet
i would get x solely because i dislike the stylised y
Because both I and my sister are getting the games together, I have until taking both versions home to decide which to play, but I'm leaning toward X.
We might find out more version differences very shortly before the games release. At the very least, we'll definitely know after Australia and Japan get their copies a whole ~14 hours before US games release.
i'm getting y because y/n
I'm getting X because I like it more
I'll eventually get Y because Yveltal looks kool and Xerneas does not
I think this'll be the first time I get the second game in the colloquial nomenclature over the first, though to be fair i skipped gen 5. And i had both games for gens 1 and 2. and my ruby was bootlegged.
i guess i'm not really saying anything
X will be batsu in Japan

Also why the fuck would you try to catch a Charizard from falling
I was sort of wondering this too when I watched it
I'm guessing maybe he was using his own body to help break Charizard's fall to help it get less damage? Charizard weighs just under 200lbs, so it's only as bad as having an adult fall on you (with some extra momentum).

oh gosh Phantump is so cute ;_;

I'm just realizing that with each new main entry in these Pokemon games, they need to have fully realized models and stats and entries and shit for every single fucking pokemon that exists, plus a whole other set for the ones with differences in appearance for gender. that's gotta be a shitload of information to cram onto those little cartridges.
So from the looks of it, there's three sub-regions/areas in Kalos?
Quote from: YPR Classic on October 02, 2013, 07:59:11 PM
Wow all the starters are so... gross...
Fire is only semi-passable one to me. Also weird that chespin would be grass/fighting and greninja would be water/dark because I don't think we've seen them have any moves for those secondary types
the fox.... fennekin i think?.... is adorable as .... something cute
i don't really like Fennekin tbh. Or Chespin. Froakie rules though and I've always picked the water starter anyway so w/e
I've always picked fire and generally liked the fire starters better, except I picked totodile and liked that one better for that gen
dammit dp put spoilers

Thank god for the pumpkin ghost, best of the bunch
the two pumpkin ghost things, pumpkaboo and uhh whatever the other one is called, are not next to each other in the dex, so one doesn't evolve into the other
maybe they're alternate versions of one another available in only one version of the game or another??

Pokedex entries, height, weight, base stats, movesets, abilities, etc. can all fit in well below a kilobyte per pokemon
even being generous enough to give a full kilobyte, that's about 0.00001ďĽ... of the 3DS cart's capacity, which is a negligible amount compared to even other negligible data sizes like all NPC dialog text.
models, textures, animations, etc. take much more
yeah you dumbshit popsi

What are the known version exclusives so far? I think I heard of just one leaked pair: Pumpkaboo is X-only and Phantump is Y-only.
Before leaks, we knew:
Clauncher (X), Skrelp (Y)
Swirlix (X), Spritzee (Y)
Xerneas (X), Yveltal (Y)
Mega Mewtwo X/Y
Mega Charizard X/Y
Are there any known version differences beyond wild pokemon?

i only know as much as you know
reckon im gettin x then
Yeah i'm def gettin Y
both versions of mega charizard are cool idk which i like more
still leaning toward getting y though
I want pokemom x because pumpkaboo
i like mega charizard y and mega mewytwo better but i still think i'm gettin x since i prob won't use them anywho
and i think i might go with fennekin and i never go with fire starter. chesnaut's just so awful and greninja just seems awful
basically most of these new pokemon seem really shitty, but goomy's awesome
gogoat, pangoro, meowstic, tyrantrum, sylveon, heliolisk, and noivern seem decent too
Plusle for X, Minun for Y.
Dunsparce confirmed for just Normal-Type still.
And uhh...there are some rumors that the Champion of Kalos might be a hobo. I've seen a pic of this hobo- too bad I...lost it.
i'm mildly upset that only mega charizard x gets to be a dragon type. y deserves it too. charizard has needed to be a dragon type for so long now.

Here's the full list of new Pokemon (there's only 69) (megas are still being found)
[spoiler](http://i.imgur.com/qwPRgp9.jpg)[/spoiler]
At least this is what people have found pre-E4, but we don't know for sure yet that there aren't any others in postgame somewhere like how D/P had many all the gen4 pokemon only available after E4. This list is also missing the event legendaries that surely exist.
Notably, there are no new babies of old pokemon on this list and Sylveon is the only non-mega evolution of an old pokemon. Also, the last legendary is Zygarde, which probably means that the next game will indeed be Z Version.
Oh my God Tyrunt giggle;
pokemon: examine your zippers
i hope flabebe is a viable pokemon because i would love to use it
zygarde?

Wait, nevermind. Just found out that Kaz had some text written in that spoiler.
The majority of these guys don't look too bad (to me at least). And for only 69 new pokes, I think a lot of them look better than generation 4's and 5's guys.
I was expecting them to give us a ridiculous amount of legendaries again, but I'm surprised there's only 3 - I would've thought they'd have given us another "trio" (like the legendary birds, dogs/beasts, Regi's, etc.)
Also, is Noivern this generation's "pseudo" legendary?
the 70 or under 70 leak was true i guess ;_;
UNLESS- THERE ARE HIDDEN POKEMON
THIS WILL BE THE FIRST GENERATION TO NOT HAVE LEAKS ASIDE FROM NORMAL GAMEPLAY. THERE COULD BE ANOTHER 70 HOPEFULLY 80 UNLOCKED AFTERWARDS IN ANOTHER UPDATE- WHO KNOWS

i don't really care for the legendary dogs. ho-oh and lugia are cool though.
really tbh the only legendaries i really like a lot are all the ones from gen 1, ho-oh, lugia, and i guess probably jirachi
but even still yeah who actually ever uses them? it's just cool to catch them and that's it
oh actually i have been using a legendary in white. victini. until i figure out what to replace him with, i guess. he doesn't really feel like a legendary though, his stats aren't ridiculously high or anything. just pretty high.
Quote from: Naoto Shirogane on October 06, 2013, 02:44:47 PM

Victini has exactly the same stats as:
Mew
Celebi
Jirachi
Manaphy
Shaymin (regular form)
For all 6 stats, these pokémon have 100 in each stat for a base stat total of 600.
What about celery stick?

I don't mind him that much. Not as ugly as palkia or dialga or whatever their names were.
Wish he was poison dragon though. Would be unique at least and works with the green.
Best legendaries imo are zapdos and articuno. Rayquaza looks cool too I suppose.
get 4 was just the worst
legendaries in rse were alright but after that they've all sucked
i'm very glad for so few new pokemon though, no reason to add 200 new ones each time
plus the mega evolutions adds something new to the existing pokemon which is kinda cool

i think he looks more like a dragon/bug
but seriously it might be my least favorite pokemon design of ever. just look at it.

oh, right. pseudo-legendary stats, i guess. it's just harder to notice the stats being fairly high when they're all 100 base, though.
and he is by no means my most useful pokemon most of the time tbh. that honor usually goes to excadrill. n_u
god excadrill is so completely broken

no those are definitely legendary stats n_u
In competitive play there is an uber tier of pokemon that are banned from regular play. Victini isn't because of its typing mostly but excadrill is because in a sandstorm he is almost unkillable with a swords dance if you don't have a priority move like mach punch

600 total base stats is literally called "pseudo-legendary" in the community according to bulbapedia lol that's why i worded it that way
it includes pokemon like dragonite, tyranitar, garchomp...in addition to of course the aforementioned legendaries with 100 for all stats
wouldn't it just be legendary stats for him since he is a legendary pokemon
i never had an excadrill but i found scrafty to be pretty fucking useful

Well that's dumb because legendary is legendary... Mew could have 50 across the board, they'd still be legendary stats since he's a legendary. Only one of him. I think pseudo legendary is only meant to apply to those pokemon that aren't already legendary but have stats reminiscent of them. But really legendary means little in terms of usefulness anyway. Articuno for example... Not very good

oh... i can take a hint.. il go fuck off then
guess i'll preorder x lol
i was considering preordering but then i remembered that it really doesnt matter when you buy from amazon because they won't run out
unless there was some sort of preorder bonus, and i dont recall there being one
btw i finally finished pkmn white's main story last night so i'm more ready for this now n_u
Did you catch 'em all?

i'm not by any means done with it, i guess i'll play it alongside x/y somewhat lol

Have you gone the full complete method of having an actual representative for each pokedex entry or did you evolve them all to their final forms since it still counts as owning the lower forms?
I had every single pokemon in White
was not worth it
So Serebii updated with a bunch of info on new stuff
Apparently weather abilities such as Drought, Snow Warning, Drizzle, and Sand Stream will only work for the first 5 turns now
Which I think is a welcome change. Also new megas although two were already basically confirmed already:

Gonna move in my Shiny Tyranitar and just wreck shit
Preordered Y. Starting with Froakie and also getting Charmander.
mega tyranitar looks awesome
i'm hoping for more megas along that line...so garchomp, dragonite, salamence, haxorus, hydreigon, etc.

well, i didn't preorder y, but that's the one i'm getting. no real point in preordering probably. idk maybe i will just to be safe.
Think imma do froakie and bulbasaur
Fennekin and Squirtle because Squirtle is probably one of my favorite starter pokemon ever
wartortle is one of my fav starters but i kinda want mega charizard x, and i'm not really feelin mega blastoise
mega venusaur's alright
both mega charizard x and y are way better than mega blastoise and venusaur for sure
i love both mega charizards tbh

at first i didn't like mega charizard x but he's kind of cool in a way
also i might go with fennekin because it's final form isn't horrible and fire/psychic sounds kinda cool
i never choose the fire starter
froakie's 2nd form is cool but i don't like greninja much

I'm getting Y and starting with fennekin and bulbasaur. Fennekin is the only one that doesn't evolve into something I hate and bulbasaur because my other friends are getting charmander and squirtle.
Honestly I can barely tell the difference between venusaur and mega venusaur but I like all 3 original starters so no big deal.

Yes, I did a live Pokédex in both Ruby and Black
I only did a normal Pokédex completion (losing pre-evolutions) in Blue and didn't even do that much in Gold or Diamond
Black only gives you enough PC space for 720 Pokémon, so after filling 648 of that with a live pokédex it didn't take me long to run out of space completely and become unable to even throw pokeballs sillydood;

That must have been surprising, I didn't know that could even happen girl; Save some pokemon for the other trainers!
Also 5 new megas revealed today:
[spoiler](http://www.serebii.net/megapinsir.jpg)
He becomes bug/flying with an ability that turns all normal moves into flying ones
(http://www.serebii.net/megabanette.jpg)
(http://www.serebii.net/megamedicham.jpg)
(http://www.serebii.net/megahera.jpg)
(http://www.serebii.net/megaala.jpg)
These are all pretty cool imo. I always liked banette although he was sort of worthless. With prankster he should be a lot more useful. I usually don't use Alakazam because almost everyone gets one but that mega form is outstanding
In other news, I never saw it anywhere else but Mega Gyrados will apparently be water/dark instead of water/flying[/spoiler]

Houndoom looks okay though
fennekin and bulbasaur
mega alakazam looks great, and i love alakazam lol sorry ypr. all my favorite pokes are OU or Uber. girl;
except for raichu
also mega houndoom just looks like a natural evolution from houndoom really so that's fine. same with mega banette.
i don't like mega heracross because heracross was already badass but the new form looks dumb and that's an insult. heracross was like the first great bug pokemon ever (along with scizor) and deserves more respect.

my name is ypr and i associate pokemon in general only with competitive play :||||
negro i love scizor not only because of his stats and movepool, also because he's just a badass. it's def true i tend to always try to build a team mostly around really high stats though lol, notable exceptions being raichu and glaceon (diamond only) and charizard
but i def avoid plenty of the strongest ones too and also i dont like using legendaries (but who does?)
scizor used to be my favorite pokemon. ypr yous a busta
I always liked the blade arms better than what they turned into
Have any of u shitnerds caught ghastly yet :(

well yeah but i mean personally i think you should just win with the pokemon you really like and for me that happens to mostly be pokemon that happen to be really popular competitively. but it's worth noting that, because i don't play competitively, i don't teach my pokes things that would be necessary for such. entry hazards, weather inducers, etc. i just play the single player anyway.
of course, with this new one out, and a lot of people i know getting it, there will be pokemon battles between me and friends, but i'm not gonna be the guy to use smogon tactics against people
anyway, who besides blu actually has theirs yet? idk when mine will arrive. wednesday maybe?

my sister is buying me y today at tarjay
the poll says there's only two more people getting y than x (but that's just for who voted) so there will be almost even distribution among boyagers of exclusive pokes to trade and stuff
but it looks like fennekin is much more popular among boyagers, chespin being the least popular
there, i made x/y even
i just got x wrench;
don't know if fennekin or froakie tho

fire is a type that i'm constantly lamenting over
while i love charmander and his evolutionary line, as well as cyndaquil and his line, that's about where my love for fire starters stops
and as far as other fire pokemon, honestly, though some of them are very cute (vulpix/ninetails, flareon), i never find much use for them. i just don't like them as much as my other pokes, and good fire-type moves are abundant via tms and move tutors and learning via level up anyway. and it just seems like there just plain aren't as many fire types to choose from to begin with compared to the sheer amount of water types, which of course means you'll constantly be facing what your fire buddy is weak against.
it could really just be me, but it seems like there just aren't enough fire types out there idk

You can ask for it in the gts anyway
I just saw greninja's official art and i actually really like him now tbh. It's just the 3d sprite looks kinda weird
yay froakie
Charmander (Pikachu)
Totodile
Torchic
Chimchar
Tepig
My preferred starters, and if/when I ever get this it would be Fennekin this time around but none of them actually look too appealing to me. Though I don't know what their evolutions look like.
They all look alright except chespin's final evolution. Froakie is my favorite all the way through anyway though.
Actually, looking at them again, I do really like Fennekin's final evolution. Fire/psychic is a cool combo too.
Gonna stick with Froakie tho.
i dont really like chespin's line at all
but i like both fennekin's and froakie's, i'm mostly just going with froakie because i want charmander and having two fire types on a team is dumb as hecky (plus i like frogs)
Mega Gengar get!!!!
friend codes mine is 2320-7426-5793

I caught a Pikachu in the forest at the start of the game so right now he's super useful. I went with Froakie and Bulbasaur.
I beat this this morning about 9 am.
8/10 would play again super easy tho
Exp share op
Also everything early game seems to be weak to fire or at least neutral against fire or psychic. Braixen kills everything. Also have a riolu, pancham and ivysaur around level 23. Braixen level 28. Not even at second gym yet, maybe I skipped over it?
Idk just weird I have so many level 20 pokemon without any grinding. Not sure if I'll end up using lucario or evolved pancham.

No, it doesn't. The non-battlers get half as much exp as the battlers.
Yeah i was wondering how that works. Is it half regardless?
I've been boxing extra pokemon because i was worried it was costing others experience
the cool thing about these games for me is that once i get it, all the gen 5 pokemon will be just as new so it'll be like getting two generations at once
whaaat
does the exp share give them all EV's too?

yes but now it's not a held item, you turn it on and it gives all pokemon in your party half experience if they didn't fight
So I can't decide which gen 1 starter to go with. I want mega charizard, and mega blastoise is dumb, but i do like wartortle a lot, mega venusaur's okay. but i already have braixen so having 2 fire starters seems a bit silly

i am of the complete opposite opinion
Man talonflame looks so doofy. It's like when a stuffed animal busts open and you stuff all the stuffing back inside and sew it up but it never looks the same. That's what he looks like. And the name? TALONFLAME? It's like if they called Hawlucha "Wrestlebird" or something.
IT'S A BIRD THAT'S A LUCHADOR THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME
Seriously if you don't like hawlucha get outta my face it's the best bird design since like gen 2
okay popsi, okay.
IT'S NOT OKAY, OKAY?

I feel like I have no goddamn idea what I'm doing in this game and I only recognize about 8 percent of the names.

Also does anyone know if heliolisk keeps learning moves post evolution?
delphox is OP as fuck
also tyrunt is OP as fuck too though that might be because he has a jolly nature and i EV trained him to max just to see what super secret training was about (pretty sick, got some evolutionary stones out of it and some stardust so some quick cash when it was needed) but TYRUNT WON'T JUST FUCKING EVOLVE JESUS CHRIST he's level 37 now and just not doing nothing
i love this frustration though because i usually was just able to go and check to see that shit
now it's like "what moves do they learn? when do they evolve? what's new in this game?" it's all very fresh and exciting, not having serebii around for everything makes pokemon ++

I wouldn't be that thrilled... Third gen was pretty lame imo. Better than d/p for sure but I always felt the game fell off in the middle. Probably inevitable though and younger kids remember it with the same fondness i had for the first two gens (snowy)
I remember just blazing through sapphire the fastest I've ever beaten a pokemon game
Idk if i truly played gen 3 because my copy of Ruby was bootlegged. Seemed to be mostly indistinguishable from the real thing though. Like 95 percent
i wouldn't trade with it though.
i have a bootleg pokemon too lol, leaf green
i actually skipped gen 3 completely though so most of its pokemon i can never remember

or me... I was too poor to have a gameboy until the GBA, so Ruby was my first. I collected the cards and watched the show when red and blue were out, and by the time I got Ruby (friend gave it to me as a birthday gift) pokemon was uncool for my age group already
i still think that game has the best map, and some great music and stuff. the pokemon themselves are just okay but i'd probably rate the games like so:
gen 1 >> gen 2 = gen 3 > gen 5 >>>>> gen 4
haven't played x enough yet but so far it's probably above gen 5 but below 3? I have a lot of memories with that game.

"It appears the legendary birds are dependent on your starter; Articuno if you picked Chespin, Zapdos if you picked Fennekin and Moltres if you picked Froakie"
Fennekin wins again! I like articuno too though. Moltres can suck it

I would somewhat agree but that's how I feel about gen iv n_u
But I heard maybe platinum helped fix some of their dullness? Idk. Gen v saved pokemon for me
I have no recollection of generation iv at all. I can't remember a single gym leader, elite four, rival, nothing.

I caught Xerneas with the first Ultra Ball I threw
I caught Mewtwo with the first Dusk Ball I threw
I just now caught Zygarde with the 14th Dusk Ball I threw
I was so close to having an ultra-lucky legend-catching streak too n_u
Latios took 75 timerballs to catch. That was the hardest legendary I've ever faced.
I threw one Luxury Ball immediately at the start of the battle the first time I tried catching Yveltal and it worked.
Every time after I've had to put it to sleep but it still only takes a couple.

Nice! Shame sentret isn't super useful for battling although he is nice for HMs. What does a shiny Flabebe looks like?
Have you been tipping a lot? Some people claim the tipping mechanism increases your odds for a shiny.
Also if anyone ever wants to trade I would like to evolve my phantump, haunter, and pumpkaboo so i could be of service if you want to evolve something

Yes, I've been tipping most of the time. I've heard that, but I sort of doubt it's true, although otherwise I have no idea if tipping has any point at all.
Shiny Flabébé changes the green pants-like part to a purple color. This is for Blue-Flower, so I don't know if it's any different for the others. The rest of the body looks no different and the flower looks no different in this first evolutionary stage.
Sadly, this one has a nature of Lax, which reduces the Sp. Def, which I think is Florges's most important stat.
I obtained a Japanese Ditto from GTS a couple days ago to improve my shiny odds for eggs and expected to get one from those if anything.

As far as I can tell you also can't change the skin color at any point, but you can change hair color, hair style, and eye color.

Oh yeah, I never mentioned it, but I finished the Elite Four on Tuesday.
My Pokédex currently has about 270 owned.

plus it keeps all the fake mons out of wonder trade ugh
i like how the old pokemon cries are still there but sort of updated where it seemed fitting to update them, like a combination of the old sound and something new
it works pretty well imo

Hiro: Krabby, Gyarados (Water)

Non-pokemon players have them too:
Tec: Farfetch'd, Hoothoot (Flying)
Tyler: Oddish, Swadloon (Grass)
Thyme: Lampent, Pumpkaboo (Ghost)
Silvertone: Oddish, Ivysaur (Grass)
Friend Safari is a post-E4 feature where basically for every 3DS friend you have there's another patch of grass you can access which has 2-3 wild pokemon available to catch. If that friend plays Pokémon, while they're online on PSS you can find hidden abilities in their safari. If they beat the Elite Four, a third Pokémon is added to their safari.
Some of these Pokémon aren't available anywhere else until PokeTransfer releases, including Klang, Krabby, Petilil, and Swadloon. Ivysaur is also available from Silvertone, which you can catch to get Bulbasaur even if you chose a different Kanto starter.
Among my other 3DS friends outside Boyah, I've gotten Wartortle, Paras, Mankey, Drowzee, Magmar, Beautifly, Munna, Tranquill, and Xatu.
goddamn. all these starters becoming available through other means. shit's wack.

In Emerald version, I got one Johto starter as a reward for completing the Hoenn Pokedex.
In Pokemon Colosseum, although you pick one Johto starter at the beginning, near the end of the game you see the trainers again and have a chance to catch the other two.
Serebii claims that, not just Kanto starters, but also Kalos starters are available in friend safari, but none of my friends have them. Outside friend safari, Shauna gives you her newly-hatched starter offspring (the Kalos starter weak to yours) as soon as you finish the Elite Four.
i'm pretty sure also in heartgold/soulsilver you get a kanto starter for beating red

Quote from: bluaki on October 19, 2013, 12:12:36 AM
Starters and legendaries from gens 2-5 are completely missing in X/Y without poketransfer
between the 454-pokemon kalos dex and friend safari's possible pokemon (http://serebii.net/xy/friendsafari.shtml), most of the rest are available somewhere to at least some people
well aside from torchic n_u
>eevee is a safari pokemon
but none of us generate it, huh? dang. hopefully at least SOMEONE on my friends list (i have some tumblr people too) will generate eevee, because catching eevees would be a much more enjoyable way to get all the eevees i need than just trading for them

you can actually catch them around route 10 i believe? They're by the gym with the hawlucha
Yeah, you can find eevee around those strange stone things. It was the first pokemon I encountered there, but I haven't ran into one since.
Also, beedrill owns.

Quote from: bluaki on October 18, 2013, 11:52:32 PM
Do you have Hiro on your 3DS friend list? You can get it yourself by going to the Friend Safari.
It looks like you've already beaten the Elite Four.
Oh, they're the same for everyone? Sweet, I'll get one today then.
Yeah, I finished the E4 a few days ago.
Quote from: bluaki on October 18, 2013, 11:37:12 PM
So the friend safaris for various boyagers seems to include:
Kaz: Beartic, Delibird (Ice)
Felt: Ferroseed, Klang (Steel)
Nyerp Brother: Delibird, Sneasel (Ice)
Wrench: Snover, Sneasel (Ice)
Hiro: Krabby, Gyarados (Water)
Snowy: Oddish, Petilil, Gogoat (Grass)
Notsid: Electrode, Helioptile (Electric)
Bluaki: Butterfree, Volbeat, Vivillon (Bug)
Non-pokemon players have them too:
Tec: Farfetch'd, Hoothoot (Flying)
Tyler: Oddish, Swadloon (Grass)
Thyme: Lampent, Pumpkaboo (Ghost)
Silvertone: Oddish, Ivysaur (Grass)
Friend Safari is a post-E4 feature where basically for every 3DS friend you have there's another patch of grass you can access which has 2-3 wild pokemon available to catch. If that friend plays Pokémon, while they're online on PSS you can find hidden abilities in their safari. If they beat the Elite Four, a third Pokémon is added to their safari.
Some of these Pokémon aren't available anywhere else until PokeTransfer releases, including Klang, Krabby, Petilil, and Swadloon. Ivysaur is also available from Silvertone, which you can catch to get Bulbasaur even if you chose a different Kanto starter.
Among my other 3DS friends outside Boyah, I've gotten Wartortle, Paras, Mankey, Drowzee, Magmar, Beautifly, Munna, Tranquill, and Xatu.
In addition to this:
Patrick Stickles - Fighting: Mankey & Sawk
Hippopo - Fairy: Togepi (Thank fucking God.) & Jigglypuff
Outside of Boyah, I got Dragonair, Fraxure, Onix, Dweeble, Pawniard, Sableye, Cacturne, Snorunt, Beartic, Krabby, Quagsire, Gothorita, Espurr, Drowzee, Dugtrio, Trapinch, Siglyph, Grumpig, Pancham, Machoke, Farfetch'd, and Hoothoot.

any cool poison types ?
ive always like croagunk and his evolved form toxicroak
and toxicroak will be more useful than ever BECAUSE the poison covers his fighting side's weakness to fairy and is in itself fairy's weakness. plus, having fighting moves is more or less essential these days with more steel types than ever flyin around, and toxicroak of course gets STAB fighting moves + physical poison moves with a good attack stat to back them
i mean his stats otherwise aren't all that great but if you simply want a poke that will be useful with all the new fairy types around + fighting type coverage then toxicroak will serve u well
plus frogs are cool
nidoking's a good bet too because he has no problem being switched in to fight other poison types because of being also ground type so a STAB Earthquake will make quick work of them
plus just about any other Poke who doesn't resist ground
and he has a huge movepool, he can learn a surprising amount of TMs including Surf and even Ice Beam. Flamethrower too i think, if not that then i'm pretty sure at least Fire Blast. and really good special poison moves like Sludge Wave and Sludge Bomb
and since special poison moves are what you really want if you can get them, have no fear with Nidoking because his special attack stat is not low. it's not super high but it's not outclassed by his physical attack either. put some sp.attack evs on ur nidoking and hes ready to roll
honestly ground types are just amazing in general but if you want one that's also poison then Nidoking

psychic type moves are common though and toxicroak is double weak to that
also it's weak to flying type moves such as aerial ace due to being a fighting type

well yeah but you can always give it a dark type move to help cover it, and have other pokemon that can fight psychics instead
having one pokemon try to fight everything is probably a waste of move space for tms better suited for its strengths. no poke is without its weaknesses. isn't dark/ghost literally the only combo that has no weaknesses?
actually, hasn't that changed now due to fairy anyway? girl;
dragalge is cool tho yea
i still think nidoking and toxicroak are both very viable options for poison types though
btw i think the big ol panda might be a more useful fighting/dark than scrafty but not sure yet
it's a weird typing but i dig it, fairy types will fuck them up though lol

Mold Breaker eliminates this issue, which has fairly good distribution.
Notably, Haxorus has it, and he can learn Earthquake with a huge attack stat to back it. I'm not sure if any actual ground types can have Mold Breaker, though.
x/y have improved a lot of little things that make the game much more fun to play and less cumbersome
simple things like menu optimization with having your pokemon displayed on the side so you know from your bag screen who needs healing, who can learn tms, etc. and doing multiple things for a pokemon via the restore option, where it actually even greys out tms it can't learn for you. also nice is that in the pokemon screen, you have an icon letting you know that a poke has a tm or hm it can use on the field, in case you needed a reminder i guess.
the menus also just look aesthetically a lot nicer imo. brighter colors, nicer fonts, nice big buttons.
descriptions are also less vague, which is great for abilities. it's no longer "powers up __ in a pinch," it's "powers up ___ when the pokemon is in trouble."
and it might just be me but the way the items are sorted seems to be a little neater than it was in white/black, which already improved on things a lot since games prior

Foreign Dittos are most useful for this purpose, but other foreign pokémon are also useful if you want egg moves and whatnot as well. GTS is good for this too.

Yeah, I actually enjoy fairy type quite a bit. I have a Carbinks on my team, and he's quickly turning into one of my favorite pokes.
I still need to find my sixth and final pokemon for my team though. I'll probably need to find a pokemon to replace Beedrill as well, but he's still rocking it after three gyms. In fact, he's one of my most dependable pokemon.
You know, I have to admit... I haven't had this much fun with a pokemon game since Gen II. They did a good job.
honestly it probably is the best pokemon game since gen ii, if not just as good as it
which is saying a lot because gen ii is my favorite
oh btw with regard to the poison poke discussion earlier
i totally forgot gengar
fantastic poke all around, everyone knows this already. while he does not learn any poison type moves by level up, he can learn sludge bomb by tm. other ones too, but sludge bomb is his best bet because of his great special attack stat
+ he has levitate to avoid pesky ground types in addition to his natural resistances as a ghost type
ghost types are just really great to have around and gengar's still one of the best hocuspocus;
Executer (aka coconut tree) is the best.

Then your only option is Skrelp/Draglage since they're the only new poison types.
Also Kaz in regards to Nidoking they've updated his stats and his attack is now somewhat significantly higher than his special attack (102 vs 85) :O

all riiiiight, it's about time nidoking got that little boost. it'll really help him dish out STAB Earthquakes and Poison Jabs. too bad he can't learn Gunk Shot, athough that move needs to be improved because 70 percent accuracy is just too low for a move that has poor distribution and poor coverage, only helped slightly by Fairy being introduced
Game Freak really just needs to bolster Poison-types in general, Pokes-wise and moves-wise

i just realized that the japanese flabebe i got from wonder trade is a different color from the one i already had. but they're both female, so it's not a gender difference. must be a shiny. the poke itself is the same color but the flower it's sitting on is orange instead of yellow.

No, Flabébé has five different flower colors: blue, orange, yellow, red, and white
When it's shiny, like mine is, the green body of the pokémon itself (not its flower) changes from green to purple. My shiny also has a blue flower which looks identical to the blue flower that non-shinies can have.
The flower color seems to be based partially on what kind of flowers you found it in; most (but not all) of the flabébé I've found in the violets have blue flowers

I think for my next objective in pokemon ill try creating a gym leader pokemon team. Just one type that i can use as a challenge when facing other people. Trying to narrow type down... Fire? Dark? Bug? Ground? Maybe not fire or bug to avoid insta death to stealth rocks girl;

someone sent me a Japanese Gible over Wonder Trade so now i will use it and get a cool 1.7x exp boost to my eventual Garchomp
badass
it even has the nature i'd want for a Garchomp, Jolly!!!
also, it's level 1, cause it was bred. so it's got egg moves and such. i wonder if the guy didn't want this particular one because he wanted a different nature, or because he's trying to get a shiny Gabite
i think it's silly because ivs are set to max when you battle someoneNVM DISPROVEN LOL

Really? His frequency rate must be higher in X because I kept running into that bastard when training there.
i went back and encountered plenty more and caught one, so
if we are ever going to hold a pokemon tourney, we'd need to set some rules because not everyone here is into ev training and stuff like me, ypr, and snowy are (and idk if blu is)
we should have a tourney designated for normally-raised pokes and maybe keep ubers and borderlines out of it or something
and, should there be a level cap? really doubt all of us are going to have a level 100 team ready to go any time soon. maybe we should have a level 50 tournament first or something. save level 100 boyah tournaments for later.
man this could be really fun
other possible types of tourney rules to make for interesting tourneys:
-gen vi only pokes
-must include gen vi starter
-type-specific tourneys (dual type allowed obviously or this'd be really hard to do)
Well I think that if you play against someone online you can have it set to level 50 so even if I have level 100s and you have level 20s, they're all the same level and their stats are changed as such.

ok, so each pokemon has unique individual values that range from 0-31 for each stat that determine the base stats of your pokemon and only one stat can be the max of 31 i believe. you can add more to the base stat by training your pokemon for effort values which you can do by playing the super training minigames for each stat or seeking out particular wild pokemon that give out particular evs
also just read kaz's post \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Quote from: Kefka on October 21, 2013, 01:11:53 PM

it would be faster for you to just look it up, but first of all you can't really "train" ivs, they're passive and randomly generated and they determine the base value for each stat. they're hidden values that can only be checked in-game by npcs. you can breed to pass down ivs, though.
evs are completely in your control, they are "effort value" points awarded for a specific stat, and each 4 effort value points per stat equals a +1 for that stat on a level up. fighting pokemon that specialize in a specific stat give evs. so a zubat, who specializes in speed, gives speed ev points.
the max ev points per stat is 255, but thats not divisible by 4 so you should only go to 252 for one stat, 252 for another stat, and 4 for the last (in most cases) as the max ev altogether is 510.
so should you fight 252 zubats? if you want, but preferably you'd fight golbats because they give 2 speed points. and in addition, you could use carbos 10 times which equals 100 speed evs right there, but after the first 100 vitamins no longer work.
and in x/y, now there is super training which is a way to ev train that's i guess a little easier for early-game, still tedious though but at least it's a new way lol
BASICALLY, ev training is a specific way to battle pokes + super train in order to max out specific stats to your liking
(also stat growth is affected by natures too this is also v. important)
there is your vague explanation ur welcome

well, yours was probably mostly a better explanation of ivs girl;
of course, really, it gets more complicated because there are formulas you can use yourself to determine ivs and there's the details of breeding for them and blah blah blah
ivs are something i've never bothered with too much just yet. ev training, yes. but that's easy. nature hunting, definitely. but breeding for ivs is something i've avoided thus far, but i'll probably try it out on at least one poke that i want to be as good as humanly possible.
I ev trained once, and it wasn't worth it.
Of course ev training is a lot easier this time around... And I do like the super trainer, soo

I actually don't even EV train usually unless it's a favorite pokemon of mine. I've only ever EV trained like 4. Maybe super training will make it less of a chore though? I put a lot of efforts into teams and movesets though so I usually do alright despite non-optimal stats.
a friend of mine EV trained a Beedrill for some reason. It was pretty good in the end.

super training is probably honestly slower than just battling pokes in an area with a high encounter rate of that poke
but since you won't have access to fly for a while, super training is effective early game
and it'll be a nice break from battling pokes for a while or if it's for a stat that you've having trouble finding the right pokes for, i guess
i just ev trained a modest starmie about a week ago in white lol
but idk if that starmie will be brought over, i'll probably just make a new one.
and yeah darkrai is def uber and i use smogon too girl;
The only reason I bothered with making a Darkrai like that was because I was told that he wasn't considered uber goowan

Did you just rush through and ignore everything that isn't needed to proceed in the story? confuseddood;

I think my time was 35 hours, and I didn't rush but I went into every single house and cave. Though, I didn't grind as much, but for the most part I knocked out every monster I came in contact with. I was always over-leveled by at least five to ten levels. I kind of hated it.
Hell, Victory Road wasn't even that intense, at least to me, anyway.
I'm sitting at 47 hours now. You must have caught a lot of stuff or something.
I just beat the sixth gym, and my pokeys are now about five levels above the average trainer. I haven't grinded this entire game, and I enjoy that... But at the same time, the difficulty has fallen. I think it's time to turn the exp share off.
Quote from: The Last MIB on October 21, 2013, 06:59:48 PM

Yeah, I caught pretty much every pokemon available in kalos as soon as I first got to the route housing it
I might have also spent quite a bit of time in sleep mode
I've never grinded against wild pokemon in any game, including this. I only start grinding after after finishing the Elite Four.
I'll play more tonight, I'm still in the 2nd gym
I have games from every gen, but am I the only one that just plays the story, does just some of the post-story stuff and then is kinda done for the most part? I played Ruby more because I wanted all the Regis (side-note: I miss when legendaries were hard to find like this) and also to find/decorate the perfect secret base, a feature I still miss
but what i'm getting at is I've only had maybe one or two teams ever that were all past level 50, and I don't even get the point of ev training unless you're going to competitions or something
I've also never seen a shiny lol
I guess what I'm getting at is I love pokemon and all but I feel like everyone else in this thread is away more knowledgeable/enthusiastic about it lol

I loved the post-e4 of Gen II, and that was the only game I put 200+ hours training different pokemon, and finally getting to level 100 without any cheating device.
I played post-e4 Gen I quite a bit too, but that's because I had cousins who played the game, and we battled quite often.
As far as the rest of them, not really. Maybe a few more hours after the e4. In Gen IV, I didn't even catch the legendaries besides Palkia. I was done as soon as I became champ.
I havent beat a pokemon game since emerald
i play post-game and raise a post-game team that i really want and try to do/find everything and at least catch all the native pokes
with x/y i'm gonna do all that and more, gonna try to fill the pokedex as much as i can and train the best pokes possible, tons of them
basically i care about this series a lot

Although I really like its main story adventure, mechanics changes, visuals, connectivity, and a lot of other things, X/Y have the most disappointing postgame in a while
There's few decent ways to gain exp; Elite Four never powers up, Elite Four has fewer Pokémon than ever, Restaurants are the next closest thing, and there's nothing nearly as good as Unova's Nimbasa stadiums, wild Audino, or the B2/W2 Tower/Treehollow.
There does exist the Battle Chateau which seems like it could've been good, but the highest rank only goes up to level 60 at most and still gives you mostly very low level trainers even after ranking up.
At least Battle Tower gameplay was kept and put in the Battle Maison, but no other Battle Frontier facilities remain and PWT (from Black2/White2) is also removed.
Unlike all 9 of the previous DS (Gen4+Gen5) Pokémon games, you don't unlock any new routes or places to explore after the Elite Four.
I think this is the full list of postgame features:
National Dex
Friend Safari
More Mega Stones
Restaurant Le Wow
Battle Maison
Looker Missions
Legendaries: One Kanto bird, Mewtwo, Zygarde
Shauna trades you her starter's offspring
Battle Calem (or Serena) once a day
PokeRadar (but, unlike in Sinnoh, there are no rare PokeRadar-only Pokémon)

After doing everything in the town multiple times and still having a far-below-perfect style rating, I found a guide somewhere
QuoteShop in the various stores in the city
it said the best way to grind up style is to abuse this part: go to the pokeball store, buy an item (premier ball is cheapest), close the menu, talk to the receptionist again, and repeat
apparently style increases based on the number of store-visiting sessions with a purchase, but the quantity you buy at once doesn't affect it
Although before doing this I had enough style to enter the clothing store, the person selling Blastoiseite and Venusaurite was charging 100k each rather than the minimum 10k for max style and you can't get the Hatching O-Power without maxing style.

Quote from: Naoto Shirogane on October 22, 2013, 01:15:48 PM
Though of course, while technically possible, good luck actually making a full IV max-out occur lol
People are already breeding tons of pokemon with full IV max-outs in X/Y
When you have something like Friend Safari with pokemon which are guaranteed to have max IVs in some stats, they can be inherited by breeding. I think the rules are something like: every child inherits 3 random IVs from parents, EV-training items force one of the inherited IVs to be that stat and from that parent, and Destiny Knot guarantees 5 stats (of 6) are inherited
For people who actually have the patience to follow the steps needed, I think the process of getting perfect IVs depends very little on luck. I might consider doing this for a couple stats at most.
of course, with pokegen, perfect IVs are effortless and even expected of everything anybody uses except when aiming for a particular Hidden Power
Quote from: NotFelt on October 22, 2013, 01:00:07 PM
i thought only one IV could be maxed out
Are you thinking of EVs?
For IVs, every stat can be any value between 0-31, with the sum of these values being mostly random, making certain pokemon be inherently better than others
For EVs, there's a total of 510 points which must be distributed between the 6 stats. With each stat maxing out at 252, you can only max out two stats in EVs.
it's actually 255 EV points possible in two stats but that's useless because you're wasting 4 possible EV points so pretty much everyone does 252/252/4 lol
and oh yeah i completely forgot about the destiny knot, i was only thinking about being able to force inherit one IV lol
so destiny knot effectively makes it effortless because you can simply have one parent use an EV item to force one IV from that parent, and have the other hold the destiny knot for the other five, right?
well, effortless once you've got two parents with the IVs you want, which still takes multiple breeding lines, but still, it's not about luck anymore

floette learns moonblast too, but it trades avg defense for very high special defense
actually florges is better than sylveon in all stats except HP

both of those changed in X/Y
The game no longer lets you raise any EV above 252.
I don't think Destiny Knot had any sort of breeding effect in the past
oh wait i dont have another thunderstone atm
i know you can by water, fire, and leaf stones in a store at lumiose city, is there anywhere you can obtain thunderstones easily?
i know you can get stones fairly easily via secret super training but none of my pokes have maxed evs yet so i can't do that yet

I JUST FOUND MY FIRST WILD SHINY EVER
WILD SHINY HAWLUCHA ON ROUTE 10 AND I CAUGHT IT IN A PREMIER BALL HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

AAAAAAAAAAA
inb4 awful nature
In my game, I found two shinies about an hour apart from each other
and I think I've heard a mention of similar things happening to other people
so maybe it's worth continuing to look around at wilds for a while tonight before saving and quitting
i wouldn't be surprised if the rumors are true that the shiny rate did get bumped
but i also wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been and people are just getting lucky or it just seems that way because literally everyone's playing it
Quote from: Snowy on October 23, 2013, 12:07:06 AM

idgaf i ain't gonna use him lol
his nature is indeed awful, though. calm. like seriously one of the worst natures possible for this guy.
i'm reading various rumors. such as that the masuda method has been bumped, but wild shinies are the same rate. or that tipping people helps.
someone needs to crack into this thing already and put the rumors to rest i wanna know if the rates really have changed at all
I don't know why, but people seem pretty certain that shinies with PokéRadar work exactly the same as before and that the new Fishing Chains work the same as PokéRadar does.
Blahhhh so jealous
i've never even used the pokeradar before lol
Quote from: Naoto Shirogane on October 23, 2013, 01:02:09 AM

Before, in Sinnoh, PokéRadar sometimes revealed rare Pokémon that otherwise can't be found at all in the Sinnoh region.
Although I never looked into it before, it also had a side effect related to finding shinies. Now, that shiny effect is the only effect it has.
When you find the same species repeatedly in a chain, the chance of finding a shiny increases slightly each time, with it maxing at a shiny chance of like 1/200 after a chain of 40 Pokémon.
I don't know, I might consider trying this for just one shiny. These chances are still too low for me to really see it as worthwhile.
yeah, although if i recall, that chain eventually breaks no matter what anyway so while your chance does cap at 1/200 at one point, it might break before it ever gets to that point
:(
anyway, i did some breeding tonight with eevees. all timid natures. i just wanted a female one to make into a timid female jolteon. female eevees are fairly uncommon, so yeah. but the point is, i have some timid male eeevees sitting around now. i doubt i need all of them. i may just offer them to anyone who wants one, though timid nature is pretty much only for jolteon anyway so if you dont want to train a jolteon than you probably dont care lol

found a shiny machop in diamond using that. It did take a little doing but it was infinitely easier than just trying to find one in the wild. and I think there was a trick to it to make sure you always encountered the same type of pokemon, like choosing the grass that was farthest away from you, or something like that.

A lot of my Pokémon are from friend safari. In Kalos alone, I only have 386; I've hardly started the Mountain Dex and I've done none of the happiness evolutions and nearly none of the stone evolutions.
Collecting enough evolutionary stones from Super Secret Training to complete even just the Kalos Dex will probably be frustrating myface;
then I'll have to collect more to complete the National Dex after PokéTransfer releases myface;
for the happiness evolutions, I'm waiting for some happiness-boosting berries to grow

Use a Pokémon knowing Sweet Scent, like Combee, to instantly encounter a horde.

THIS IS IT! THE MUSCLES THAT WILL MAKE THE FUTURE BRIGHT!
DON'T STOP NOW! DON'T STOP UNTIL YOUR MUSCLES SCREAM FOR YOU TO STOP!
SPEED CREATES SPEED!
ATTACKING IS THE BEST DEFENSE!
i got a IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT? when i used a reset bag
both times i've used a reset bag it said
SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA TREAD ON THORNS BEFORE COMING UP ROSES
n_u
i have three reset bags. they'll come in really handy later. i've only used them thus far to find out how far along i actually am on evs, since it tells you how many you lost after using a reset bag. i just save before doing it and then restart.
super training seems to be only slightly slower than simply fighting pokes over and over for evs, and it's nice that the core training can run on its own while you do something else
and of course, simply tapping with one hand for core training while you do something else is pretty nice too
so it's a nice way to ev train that's not too slow that enables you to do something else at the same time. of course, using vitamins for the first 100 is still honestly the way to go lol
i just finished all of jolteon's speed ev points
yeah i did it for a chespin (dumbly, not even like normal dumb because it's a chespin, but i gave it 252 speed EV's and 0 defense, like wtf i was exhausted) and it only took like a half hour or so because after a while the +12s only take like 30 seconds a piece
the regimens (mini-games) also go by faster and faster as you pump evs into your poke because they seem to affect how powerful the shots are
so it's a process that thankfully speeds up as it goes
overall though the main reason i think super training is useful right now is because we don't yet really have ev training lists of best areas to grind certain pokes. so far i've yet to come across an area that i felt was particularly perfect for one stat or another.
Hoardes are great for EV training
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/horde-battles-and-ev-yields.3490052/
oh yeah, i didn't think of that
sweet scent is therefore now essential for speedy ev training via battling i guess
there, Biribiri the Jolteon is now fully EV trained :3

Fully EV'd my Timid Mewtwo.
For the first time, I'll be IV breeding for the best Honedge that I can get. Adamant nature. I don't really know how to get all IV's but I have a Ditto with 3 perfect IV's in Sp. Def, Def., and Sp. Atk, and I'm going to try to get 3 perfect IV's on it with Destiny Knot at least...
I don't know how I'm going to get over 3 but oh well.
i didn't know the patch was out yet
btw, it took them this long to finally just put in an npc that tells you which type of hidden power a pokemon will have? thank god lol
still, if you're going for a certain type, you still need to do it via a chart for IVs from the internet anyway
MIB, destiny knot will make it much easier, in case you didn't know

Chain fishing! Works amazingly well. Got those 5 within 36 hours of real time. Play time was about 4 hours.
If I get another, it's yours.
i'm not far enough to have that unlocked yet, but i do have one shiny i found in the wild. hawlucha. :3

lol, when you try to pet Cryogonal in pokemon amie, your hand freezes and he looks at you with a question mark above his head.
I wonder if it does something similar with fire types. confuseddood;
I wonder if they increased the chance of running into shinies because they seem a tad more common this time around.

yeah we posted about these a while back n_u
slugma, who is covered in lava, burns your hand when you attempt to pet him anywhere. touching parts of any pokemon that are on fire or electrified, like a charmander's tail or a pikachu's cheek, will burn or electrify your hand, respectively.

that's what people are saying. but right now, everything's still unconfirmed. one common rumor is that tipping people has something to do with shiny rates.

I'm just basing it off of Boyah.
People have gone through five generation without seeing a single shiny, and now we have people owning multiple in this generation.
yeah this gen was my first ever shiny found in the wild
of course, it COULD all just be a coincidence, but they've done things to boost shiny rates before (like when the foreign poke breeding thing was first implemented, and the pokeradar, and now chain fishing), so i wouldn't entirely be surprised if it was boosted

Yeah, I got it.
The thing is, I don't know how people get 4 IV's and higher. I mean the Safari gives 2 max IV's, and then I got a third one maxed out of nowhere. (It was a Ditto, by the way.)
The best thing I've bred so far is a Female, Honedge, Adamant, with xx/xx/31/31/31/xx.

I just got a...fucking honedge with perfect hp
oh my god i might get 4 perfect iv's
oh my god i got a 4 iv maxed klefki from a giveaway and it has 31/31/31/31/xx/xx, and my honedge has xx/xx/31/31/31/xx
now to show them like this for easier comparison:
K: 31/31/31/31/xx/xx
H: xx/xx/31/31/31/xx
then with the probability of getting 31 in the one's that aren't guaranteed max, exlcuding speed because fuck rng:
.5 * .5 * .5 = .125
So I have 12.5 percent of getting 31/31/31/31/31/xx honedge.

The heart icon shows the Pokémon currently selected in Amie, so just switch to that and select something from your party.
Although it looks like that might be showing a favorite Pokémon, instead it just shows your current Amie Pokémon who will pop up in other people's Amie to send gifts and do whatever else.

Well I turned off my exp share, so I was about six to five levels below the elite four.
I used two hyper potions during the champion battle..... I did go in with a near perfectly healed team though. Still, I was expecting more of a challenge.

I'm so close to finishing the Kalos dexes
All I have left right now are two friendship evolutions: Umbreon and Chimecho. These are both in the Coastal Dex, so my Central and Mountain Dexes are fully complete.
Tomorrow afternoon, I should have a bunch of friendship-boosting berries ready to harvest, so I should be done soon
Weavile and Gliscor were rather inconvenient to get. Their evolution items are only obtainable at Battle Maison and cost 48BP each, totaling 96BP, which is as much as it costs to buy all 6 EV power items. Aside from these two items, Battle Maison has a lot of other evolution items, but the others all cost only 32BP and are either for foreign Pokémon not available in Kalos or are items which can be obtained normally on the ground elsewhere in the region.
After marking every Pokémon in Kalos as seen (all ~450, definitely not counting the Kanto birds and likely also not counting Mewtwo), you get an Oval Charm, which makes your Pokémon pop out eggs at the daycare faster.

I have not sent it off yet. You have first dibs at it, followed by Snowy.
I have Pokemon Y. If you have exclusives to X, cool. If not, oh well. Please not a Pidgey, Weedle, or the like. Lol.
When can you trade?

I have Houndour already, but would you mind trading Amaura (I believe that's who the fossil is)? My second choice would be Chespin if you have an extra.
Alright. I'm working until 10:30 Eastern tonight and might not be able to get on until tomorrow. I'll PM you if I get on tonight.

Does anyone want a pokemon battle right now :O
I just caught 'em all in the Kalos Dexes.
I got an Oval Charm, which speeds up egg production at day care (not egg hatching), for seeing all Kalos Pokémon, but nothing for owning all of them.
In Black2/White2, there was a Shiny Charm which triples shiny rate that requires completing the entire National Dex. I don't think anybody knows if that's back in X/Y yet because it's impossible to achieve that until PokéTransfer releases.

Were you able to get the shiny charm in black2/white2?
I learned a move for slyveon called skill swap.
I thought it would randomly copy a move from your opponent
But no all it does isswitch innate abilities ( such as blaze) with each other.
I dont like it

I could have, but I didn't.
I completed the National Dex in Black Version (with even every pre-evolution in my PC), but didn't bother to trade over so many Pokémon to White 2. I thought something like Pokémon Bank (or Pokémon Box, Oak's Storage Machine, etc) would be made for Gen5 games so I waited for that, but it never happened.

How did you manage getting the promotional legendaries?
Were they legitimate?
i don't think the promotional legendaries have ever counted toward dex completion
Quote from: Hippopo on October 29, 2013, 01:21:33 PM
How did you manage getting the promotional legendaries?
Were they legitimate?
Like Kaz said, event legendaries don't count, but by now I think I have all of them scattered around my games from the various events I've had access to.
Wi-Fi events alone covered:
Mew: 2010
Jirachi: 2010
Deoxys: 2013
Manaphy: 2010 (Japan only)
Darkrai: 2012
Arceus: 2012 (Global Link)
Genesect: 2012
Keldeo: 2013
Gamestop:
Deoxys: 2008, 2011
Celebi: 2011
Keldeo: 2012
Meloetta: 2013
Misc:
Jirachi: Pokémon Colosseum Pre-Order Bonus Disc
I might have missed some of these Wi-Fi events, but I've probably gotten enough to have one legit copy of every event legendary, albeit not currently all on the same game.
I also did connect to a couple custom GTS servers and got not-quite-legit copies of some events I missed, but the more recent events fill those gaps of legendaries I didn't legitimately have.
Also, I had access to Japanese Wi-Fi events because I played Japanese versions of Diamond, SoulSilver, and Black. My Gen5 live Pokédex is even currently stored on a Japanese copy of the game, but I'll probably have to trade the ones I want to transfer to Gen6 to an English game because of 3DS region lock.
Excluding unreleased-at-the-time events and the White version-exclusive legendaries, I actually completed my Gen5 Pokédex before the English games even released sillydood;
when was meloetta this year?
i have a feeling they'll do mew again soon for xy, what with kanto pokes being so important to these games apparently, and mewtwo being present
it's a shame i seriously missed every single wi-fi one because i've always had router security incompatible with the ds lite lol
though this won't be a problem anymore, thankfully
Oh, I just checked my games and found one legendary I only have thanks to GTS hack: Shaymin. The one I have is from a Toys R Us event, but I don't have access to those.

These pictures popped up today of the supposed appearances of the event legendaries Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa
[spoiler](http://i.imgur.com/hhTHCg8.jpg)[/spoiler]
Supposedly, the person/people who made these managed to encounter them by directly modifying 3DS's RAM. In practice, this is like those old action replay codes that make every wild pokemon you encounter a Mew or something; when walking around in Santalune Forest, the game tried to generate some sort of lv3 Pokemon, but the hack overwrote the species ID with that of Volcanion.
These could also be fakes. As far as I can tell, the style and shadowing seems consistent enough with the real game that it could be real.
Nice donut

silvertone's friend safari ivysaurs kept being complete dickbutts and killing themselves with take down recoil after i used false swipe on them
and refusing to be caught in quick balls
caught one eventually though
oh yeah, I don't think I mentioned it yet here, but I've already obtained every pokémon that is currently possible to obtain pre-PokéTransfer by both collecting friend safaris and GTSing the rest
and I'll breed a copy of anything for anyone, albeit without any assurance on IVs or ability
I still need to collect the items to evolve a few more for the sake of pokédex, but I have at least something in every evolutionary line.
so wots my third friend safari poke

k i'm online what's my third fs poke felt
kaz's third friend safari pokemon is dewgong
Dewgong is another Pokémon that is otherwise impossible to get in Kalos
also, why'd i even have to be online to check that? you can catch people's 3rd when they're not online. i did it over and over today while playing offline.
and, btw, is there a possibility of a hidden fourth or something in friend safaris? cause i caught vivilion in someone's today, which i thought was their third, but it says i haven't found their third and vivilion is not on their list.....
maybe vivi's picture on their list just glitched and vivi actually is their third idk

i'm not sure what you mean

Hippo ilu for having togepi
same
i might actually train a togekiss eventually, not right now though
i want to raise a togekiss but getting one with good IVs is even more tedious
you have to evolve togepi via happiness before you can put it back in the day care to get more togepis with better IVs so ugh
honestly with togekiss i wouldn't bother with iv perfecting
i'd just catch a bunch of togepis from fs and raise whichever ones has the two maxed ivs that are most appropriate for togekiss and stick with that
way too much work to make a perfect one
is it me or do pokemon sometimes just not breed or sometimes it randomly takes them way longer than usual
i didn't particularly breed a lot in the gens before this one so idk

every time, it's been on route 4. i've been sticking to lumiose city because four routes connect to it, but only on 4 does he seem to stay there once i get through the gate and actually onto the route
maybe he just really likes those flowers
route 7 articuno won't leave
must like flowers, too i guess...
masuda'ing for shinies is a waste of time man
well yeah
but i want this specific poke to be shiny
When I don't care about the stats or nature of the Ditto I'm breeding with, I use a Japanese one just so I have some chance of getting a shiny, but I don't get my hopes up.
After I get the Shiny Charm in January, I might actually try to intentionally get shinies with Masuda Method, but without that extra boost I wouldn't bother.

pretty much this yes
on that note, i got myself a mild perfect IV deino last night, and i think i'm starting to get the hang of this thing :)
nooooo
i hate hydreigon
don't worry, moonblast only instantly kills him
i like kingdra more anyway as a special dragon user but that's when used in the rain because of swift swim anyway so hydreigon is a more reliable choice lol
but i just can't bring myself to not hate hydreigon, partly because of his design
i just bred a 5 IV Sneasel that is male using RNG manipulation.
fuck rng manipulation
i saw the thing about RNG manipulation but idk, it's so easy to breed good mons without it this gen, i don't see why you wouldn't just go legit with it
Quote from: Naoto Shirogane on November 04, 2013, 10:08:26 PM
fuck rng manipulation
i think it's just as much work as doing it legit though
it helps though if you mark which IVs are max in the summary screen so you can search the PC for which pokemon have the IVs you need

without rng manipulation, the chance of getting a 5 IV from two four IV pokemon with different imperfect stats with destiny knot would be ~1/24
i had no need for a sp. atk max IV on sneasel since it primarily needs attack and speed
1/24 is a pretty likely chance if you ask me, especially considering how many eggs you're getting
Wait, how do you do that RNG manipulation?

it's unfortunate that breeding a perfect iv staryu more or less requires access to a ditto friend safari, and catching a ton of same-natured dittos with different maxed ivs
since staryu can only breed with ditto due to no gender

you have access to a ditto friend safari? and yeah it does. i could easily just make a timid abra and find timid dittos that way in friend safari...if i had access to ditto in it to begin with.
at the moment, i need a bunch of timids
while i do have one timid, it has attack and defense maxed. even if i only went with two maxed ivs, these are not particularly good ones for staryu (well, defense is fine).
the timid ditto i have passed its attack and defense maxed ivs to a baby staryu after literally only one try
so i'm already at a dead end and need timid dittos with different maxed ivs lol

the dittos don't have to be same-natured
once you have a timid staryu, give it an everstone and get more timid staryu while giving destiny knot to the dittos
but it requires a lot more time or luck than gendered pokemon because you can't use 3 or 4 IV staryus as a second parent to replace ditto
i'll just catch a lot of dittos for hell's sake

i was under the impression that ditto overrides the usual "either parent holding the everstone gives a one-hundred percent nature passing" thing. and that when breeding with ditto, you have to give the everstone to a natured ditto to be absolutely sure that it passes.
at least, that's what i'm pretty sure i read on bulbapedia at some point.
caught one timid ditto
nature of parent holding everstone is now always passed (since gen v i think)
two imposter dittos with timid nature rofl
ok yeah upon looking at bulbapedia again, the ditto nature override is from way back in gen iii rofl
i'm not sure why i remembered that and thought it was still current
anyway felt regardless of nature, if you have any friend safari dittos you'd be willing to throw my way, i'd love to have them
i did the dumb thing of making a bunch of synchronizers and not catching a buttload of dittos
i mean i can just catch them with the synchronizers now but still

so far i've bred one 22-23/6-7/31/31/31/31 staryu with natural cure
i didn't use rng manipulation to breed this one
for some reason when i used destiny knot with staryu and ditto, the baby staryu had all of its ivs except for sp. atk inherited from one parent
oh you're breeding staryus too, huh felt? gonna put a starmie on your team? :3

yeah. it seems safer than using delphox as a fire/psychic type
starmie makes a very useful single-player pokemon due to psychic/water/electric/ice coverage, yeah
i personally never leave recover on her
she fills quite a few roles in online battles too tho, notably offensive rapid spinning hocuspocus;
only problem with runnin starmie is that everyone expects it lol
either way i mostly want a really good starmie simply because it's my favorite pokemon ever
i made a 8/27-28/31/31/31/31 staryu with natural cure
do you want one for your breeding efforts?
out of curiosity, how do you know the values of the ivs that aren't maxed? i've always wondered how people find that out. all i know is how to know if they're maxed because that npc tells you they are.
but hell yes felt i would love one!!
i cant get online right now, i'm at work, but you could catch me on at about 9:00 central!! i dont think i have anything to give you in return though...i think i have some 3 iv-maxed scythers left over from the previous breeding project, but that's about it...unless there's something else you want

use rare candies and log stats on here (http://www.metalkid.info/Pokemon/Calculators/IV.aspx) and go to the battle institute and enter your pokemon and log your level 50 stats
scythers are fine. :)

IVs can be calculated with reasonable accuracy from the stat numbers if you know all the factors like species, nature, and EVs
one calculator for this I've seen is http://www.metalkid.info/Pokemon/Calculators/IV.aspx
Although newly-hatched pokemon have too low stats to get accurate numbers, you can either use rare candies to boost the level or go to a battle facility in lumiose that sets levels to 50 (and never force-saves). You can save before doing either to get your candies back or to not have to go through a series of 5 battles.

Apparently that's a big need on the WTS too, of the 3 legendary birds articuno probably has triple the requests of zapdos and moltres combined
Although Moltres barely has any girl;
weird, i would have thought zapdos would have the least. fennekin seemed like the most popular starter, but idk maybe not.
umm
anybody have a foreign adamant ditto from a safari zone
;_;
Articuno is the only legendary bird I've encountered thus far... But I've always been training my weakling pokemon, so it just looks at me and immediately runs away.
You can only get one legendary bird depending on your starter
And you need to encounter it 10 times before it will settle down in a cave where youcan go battle it
and i dont know if it's just me but they each seem to have their preferred routes that they stay on more often than the others when you actually get to said route
my moltres really prefers routes 4 and 16
i ev trained my florges and illuminate staryu with 5 IVs today
now i just need to level staryu up to level 50 before evolving it

why would it matter if the foreign ditto is a specific nature
make a baby pokemon of the desired nature using other means, then everstone the baby to preserve its nature when breeding with any foreign ditto (or foreign egg group pokemon if said baby is female)
you'll still always get babies of the desired nature that way, the ditto's nature won't enter into it

is there a move you want at lvl 50 that it learns before evolving or something
i know it has access to scald in later levels but that's about it for useful staryu level-up moves that i can think of that starmie can't learn via re-learner anyway (rapid spin, recover)

type reflect is basically conversion from gen i but that's at level 40
also power gem at level 43
would starmie be able to learn hydro pump from the move re-learner if i wanted to teach it later? i'll just go with surf for now
mmm, no i don't think starmie can re-learn hydro pump, i forgot about that.
i tend to prefer surf myself just because accuracy is important to me, but at least having the option to re-learn hydro pump, even if you don't take it, would be pretty valuable
so i guess by all means level it up and pass by all the moves you might want later
however i can't see power gem being all that useful lol. it can crush bug types, but for flying coverage ice beam is already there as a tm.

yeah the only major bug types out there are heracross and scizor and volcarona and two of those aren't weak to rock
plus heracross is more easily taken out via neutral damage psychic/psyshock (dont remember if heracross has weaker def or spdef)
volcarona is really the only situation where starmie would benefit from power gem lol

volcarona is really the only situation where starmie would benefit from power gem lol
but it has STAB hydro pump or surf so no worries anyway
if only starmie could learn a special fighting type move then it would be awesome to take out dark types
despite having no hands of any sort
it does have signal beam to take out dark and grass types however but that is a move tutor move
except for dark types running sucker punch, of course
hell, any pokemon running sucker punch that doesn't suck lol
i'm having a hard time choosing between klefki, azumarill, florges or sylveon as my fairy type for my battle team
sylveon can double screen unlike florges but has lower stats overall than florges, klefki has prankster, and azumarill has a decent physical fairy move
klefki can priority thunder wave with prankster and then use foul play
keep in mind that azumarill also has "huge power" ability raising its attack stat to ridiculous levels

Quote from: NotFelt on November 07, 2013, 05:18:03 PM
do you think any of the above choices are viable other than azumarill
all i know about klefki is that it has access to moves that let it become a huge annoyance. swagger (dangerous though i dont recommend using it lol), thunder wave, spikes. and obviously substitute but that goes without saying.
idk anything about sylveon really other than that its stats are pretty much just like umbrion's, so it can take a good amount of special punishment and laugh it off but it's not some amazing special wall or anything. she seemed pretty good at first glance though but idk, i dont remember much about her. and i cant look her up atm either.
i saved before using rare candies and evolved staryu as a test
apparently evolving staryu to starmie means i lose access to any skipped moves it could have learned if it were staryu at the move re-learner
Speaking of Starmie, I think I still have the Starmie I got at the Pokemon Center a few years ago goowan

Klefki also has prankster so it's guaranteed to be annoying like whimsicott with better defensive typing. Would make an okay lead
there's a popular video going around right now of a klefki partial sweep and everyone's like "wow klefki is so good" but actually it just got really lucky because its swagger risk actually paid off

hm
well, honestly the only one really worth it that starmie can't relearn, imo, is hydro pump anyway. so level staryu up if you want hydro pump. the risk of missing is often very well worth it. i'm just sort of paranoid about it.
but type reflect is pretty useless i think. firstly, it means probably giving up your STABs after switching types, in almost every case except maybe gaining STAB thunderbolt against an electric pokemon. secondly, if you consider what kind of pokemon are probably going to switch-in on starmie, namely special walls and ghost-type spinblockers. all things considered, these pokemon probably have easy ways of eliminating starmie via physical coverage moves that hit it for neutral damage, as long as they don't get outsped. starmie's not that hard to 2HKO for any pokemon with a healthy attack stat. and you just wasted a turn changing types, so even if you OHKO the opposing threat afterward, you just lost half your starmie's hp for no particular reason.
type reflect will only help at all if you're about to get hit by a STAB move from the opponent. and in the case of the all-too-common ghost-type switching in on starmie, this actually just means that starmie just committed suicide (ghost weakness to ghost).
and, well, it's just a gimmicky move that would only very rarely prove to be remotely useful. starmie's better off hitting hard with its stabs and coverage moves and using rapid spin. its speed owes itself to this role.
Quote from: NotFelt on November 07, 2013, 07:42:24 PM
i've seen klefki using thunder wave, spikes, foul play, substitute to death
yeah klefki's a good spikes user i think
the klefki in said video set up a substitute first, then used swagger (while the opponent used swords dance), then used thunder wave, and watched the opponent mostly kill itself. klefki did finish it off with foul play, though.
more or less the same for the second opponent.
grinding in the battle institute is so much better than grinding at the battle maison at first

that's a very good strategy lol. not too dissimilar from the one i'd imagined using, either (i also thought baton pass would probably help with battle maison a lot)
i didn't think of using truant + entrainment though. do battle maison AIs not bother switching out? any human player afflicted with truant entrainment would just switch out. granted, it's still a viable strategy with humans but probably not a great one. if the AI doesn't switch out though, truant thus effectively kills them.

has anyone else had any luck finding shinies in the friend safari? i found 2 in one day (oddish and phanphy) and i've literally never encountered a shiny pokemon before in 15 years of playing pokemon, so either i got obscenely lucky or they vastly improved the odds of finding shinies within the friend safari. or both.
i've only found one shiny in the friend safari so far
i found a shiny just out in the wild normally (hawlucha), first time i've ever found one
blu has found apparently three this way
everyone's saying that the normal rate must've been increased this gen, and there are tons of rumors about how to improve it...some people are saying tipping people helps
i'm just gonna hold my breath about it until serebii's got official information on it n_u
btw steal, the front page of this thread has friend safari information
steal, i'll go ahead and see what two of yours are right now, but to see the third you'd have to beat the elite 4 and then be online at the same time as me (and i'm at work rn so i cant get online)
steal's friend safari type is water

I found two, not three shinies. They were in grass, not from friend safari or anything: Sentret and Flabebe.
People have so far found that, in the new pokemon data structure, pokemon generated purely randomly (without any shiny-boosting) are now twice as likely as before to be shiny: 1/4096.
Nobody has yet figured out for sure exactly how known shiny-boosting methods (masuda, pokeradar, chain fishing) work now and it's not yet confirmed if anything else affects shiny rate (like friend safari or tipping)

you can check your pokemon's IVs and your hidden shiny value using this program
my shiny id number is 403
sister's is 2497
what is a shiny id?
also sorry i haven't been on to trade speed boost venipede or whatever i have, i've been busy
Quote from: Patrick Stickles on November 17, 2013, 11:21:05 AM
what is a shiny id?
also sorry i haven't been on to trade speed boost venipede or whatever i have, i've been busy
it's a hidden trainer value that determines whenever an egg will hatch as a shiny in one person's game
the egg also has a different shiny id as well so you can trade with other people who have matching shiny ids
after 15 tries, i finally caught mewtwo.
i kept either killing him, or he would get burned and kill himself by not recovering
it was annoying
false swipe
Paralyze or sleep are also helpful
Sleep has the highest catch rate of all status afflictions, but is automatically cured in a few turns.
Paralysis is fairly close to sleep and doesn't cure, but electric-type and ground-type Pokémon (including Zygarde and Zapdos in XY) resist it.
Freeze is too unreliable to use (only occasionally caused by ice-type attacks)
Burn and Poison do damage, which really isn't something you want on legendaries you're trying to catch, and also has a lower catch rate than sleep and paralysis

hey
finding the person with the same sv as your egg over the course of a few days or so is fun imo
then they hatch- they get to enjoy that they're helping out a niqqa and get to see their shit in their pokedex and yeah i get to keep the shiny if they're reliable and maybe get/give a gift
i mean it's literally shiny hunting still- but more condensed and lets players become more interactive w/ ea. other

yeah it's basically "crowdsourcing" for shinies as kotaku puts it
Awesome, thanks a lot man!
so what have you guys been up to in game?
i'm just training some new pokes i got and holy shit- wild battle items- how the hell did i miss them. what a cool fucking feature added to wild battles.
also lol rated battles are gone for now thanks to that program that shows which moves, iv's, natures, items, hp your pokes have which works similar to instacheck hotspot. and it can tell which moves your opp has locked into. but cannot tell when they're switching out or something
oh and this song got me out of depression- to me, it's such a great song:

Pokemon Bank events have been confirmed, with the first one being a Celebi.
Celebi is available during the free trial period and remains available until September 2014. Anyone who has a copy of Pokemon X or Y during the trial period can obtain Celebi for free.
awesome. this will be the first celebi i've ever owned.
i need to actually get back to this game, i never finished completing the kalos dex. all that's really left is evolving things though, i've caught everything that can be caught i'm pretty sure.
I think my first Celebi was from some event for HG/SS. I forget whether it was Gamestop or Wi-Fi, but it unlocked a special scene about Silver and Giovanni.
I would have transferred that Celebi to X/Y, but now that there's another Celebi available, I won't.
The poketransporter & pokebank will not come out until two days from now because of the recent traffic nintendo has been having.
these apps are loose- hacked pokemon can go through

lol..
The hack check in poketransporter is so bad that people can, in gen5, generate pokemon whose locations are set to Kalos and then transport them and receive a blue pentagon.
but the apps aren't loose. On December 25 (JST), Japan got pokebank/poketransporter, but there was a worldwide Nintendo online services outage about half a day later because of new console owners flooding the system and then Nintendo left the pokebank servers turned off and postponed both the Japanese reopening and the release for other regions (which was originally scheduled for December 27)
Nintendo has not yet announced any dates for this reopening/release. There are rumors that they'll release it for Japan and Europe in a couple days then US about a week later, but there's no reputable source to that claim.
Also, because it's been postponed, as far as we know they could be making a patch that fixes some of the limitations of hack detection.
I don't know why I didn't notice it sooner, but considering how Nintendo's online services work, there really is absolutely no point in Pokémon Bank using the Internet.
Nintendo Network IDs are locked to a single console, making cloud ties no better in any way than local storage. The only method of transferring IDs, System Transfer, also transfers all local content. Pokémon don't take up much space when stored and should easily fit on any SD card's free space.
Pokémon Bank also doesn't have any other actual meaningful uses of cloud storage like social sharing/browsing.

that was fun though hocuspocus;
you know, aside from rigid things like tourneys, it'd be fun if we just had battle nights
like where we just all challenged each other to pokemon battles and there was no tourney or anything, we'd just battle for fun but make an event of it and just have tons of battles in a night between many boyagers
I'd be up for this but kind of gave up after continually asking for battles but getting no response because no one had iv and evd to perfection yet

ev train that aerodactyl in speed because otherwise you are wastin its potential my brother
it's in the top 10 fastest pokes in the game, its speed maxing at the same value as jolteon, mewtwo, and i think one other pokemon...only deoxys, ninjask, and electrode can be faster than a max-speed aerodactyl
then again, that requires your aerodactyl to be timid natured and you can't just breed fossil pokemon...can you? i don't think you can.
but yea if your aerodactyl had been timid w/max speed evs and same or higher speed iv it could have actually outsped my nearly outspeedable jolteon that it came up against

.....................i see..........................................................................
in that case, all the more reason to get that aerodactyl up to speed (xDD)
Unfortunately, it's sassy. I don't know that that does though
if it's not timid, it's not good for aerodactyl
unless you really want to focus on bringing another stat up, but really aerodactyl is all about speed so you should try to maximize it
just get a timid ditto from someone to breed your aerodactyl with and have the ditto hold an everstone
okay so sorry i just got caught up w/ something
i'm ready to battle if anybody wants to
i can do 6 vs 6 if anybody wants to

Why Timid? Aerodactyl isn't a special attacker.
Maybe you mean Jolly? That lowers its special attack instead of its physical attack.

$5 a year is nothing, nobody is crying about it lol
it starts as $5 a year then they'll want $5 a year for swapnote, $5 a year for animal crossing and soon your whole paycheque is going to support your nintendo habit

it's fine lol. Take your time.
They could've done a lot to make the transfer process easier.
1. Why can Transporter only deposit to the transport box? Because of this, you have to repeatedly switch to Bank in order to move stuff out of the transport box to free it up for another transfer.
2. Why can Transporter only transfer from Box1? Because of this, you have to repeatedly open the gen5 game to reorganize pokemon into box1 between every box transfer.
3. Why can Transporter only transfer from Gen5 games? Supporting Gen4 should've been easy.
If I were the one implementing this, I'd combine both into one app; Bank could be started with any gen4/5/6 game and, if it's not gen6, the interface would be deposit only, but it'd let you move pokemon from any box on the card to any of the cloud boxes.
As it stands now, the process for transferring a couple boxes is:
[spoiler]1. Download Bank from eShop
2. Start Bank with Gen6 card inserted
3. Read introduction stuff (and redeem trial)
4. Click the button in Bank to download Transporter
5. Download Transporter from eShop
6. Insert and start a Gen5 game
7. Reorganize boxes so that Box1 is filled with things you want to transfer and save
8. Open Transporter
9. Confirm transportation of Box1
10. Open Bank
11. Switch game cards to X/Y
12. Move Transport Box's contents elsewhere
13. Start X/Y to redeem first Pokemon Link reward (BP)
14. Repeat steps 6-12 if you want to transfer another box
15. Start X/Y to redeem second Pokemon Link reward (Celebi)
16. Repeat steps 6-12 as many times as necessary to transfer anything else you want to.[/spoiler]
this process could've easily been trimmed to about 5 steps with no repeats awdood;
I only had to transfer three boxes, so it wasn't all that bad, but that's still enough for the process to be annoying. Also, Transporter didn't let my Groudon through, but I was pretty certain this Groudon is a legitimate one caught in Ruby. Maybe not.
so this is what happens thanks to me having played games in multiple languages
Like I said in that last post, PokeTransporter rejected the Groudon I've had since Ruby Version and had prepared for Bank
I left most of my Pokemon games in Tampa, but I have with me: SoulSilver (JP), Black (JP), White2 (US), X (US)
Of these, I found another definitely-legit Groudon in my SoulSilver
Cross-gen transfer is region-locked
So I'd have to use all four of the games I have with me for this: Gen4->Gen5->English->Gen6
PokeTransfer (Gen4->Gen5) is weird and forces me to transfer 6 pokemon at a time
I only want one, but it's not too hard to find 5 junk pokemon in SoulSilver to transfer to Black
My Black PC is nearly full with only 3 free spaces left, so I need to release a few pokemon to make room.
wow triple post
I just finished the National Dex. I previously obtained every possible Pokémon to obtain in Kalos, then I transferred over one of every transfer-exclusive legendary and newly-hatched unevolved copies of everything else, then trained and bred them.
This is my fourth time completing the Pokédex: Blue (150), Ruby (386), Black (646~649), X (718). It'll be 721 once they release the three new hidden event legendaries.
Is there a reward for getting all of them?

There is, but this is a new feature as of Black2/White2 that was kept for X/Y
For completing the regional dex, you get an Oval Charm, which makes the daycare produce eggs much faster
For completing the national dex, you get a Shiny Charm, which makes Shiny Pokemon significantly more common
Before B2/W2, the only reward was a certificate that displays on the screen. In Gen1, you can print the certificate with Game Boy Printer.
How much more common are shiny Pokemon after getting the charm?
Quote from: Snowy on February 06, 2014, 02:52:03 PM
How much more common are shiny Pokemon after getting the charm?
In Gen5, the shiny rates were:
Regular: 1/8192
Masuda: 6/8192
Charm: 3/8192
Masuda+Charm: 8/8192
So, Shiny Charm isn't nearly as effective as Masuda Method, but it still is a notable boost and it helps to combine them.
In Gen6, the regular shiny rate was doubled (1/4096). The exact effectiveness of shiny boosters in Gen6 aren't quite known yet, but it's reasonable to assume that they are at least as effective as before, so every shiny rate should be at least twice the Gen5 equivalent if not higher.
i transferred my zekrom, my serperio, meloetta, and my shiny palkia, giratina, and dialga.
im done with pokebank
im in the process of trying to complete the national dex

Good luck, brave soldier. Good luck.
i kind of gave up because i got all the ones that i have seen and the rest are from gen 3 and that requires a lot of transferring and ugh
U can get a free dl voucher for x or y if u register ur 3ds and one of few select games in march
Does anyone happen to have Pokemon Black2 or White2? Only those games have the Drain Punch tutor, and I need something with Drain Punch that can breed with Breloom. I know Clefairy's line works.
If anyone have access to this tutor, and you ever feel like doing me a favor and it's not too much trouble for you, would someone be willing to get that Pokemon for me?
bluaki has it
my sister does too

i got it & i also got the shards needed
is there any poke specifically or just any that can beed with breloom
wait which gender
i forgot which one passes on moves
male passes on moves because female passes on species

yep. tested this myself when breeding skarmories with egg moves. the egg moves were always present on the offspring regardless of which parent had the egg moves from the previous skarmory generation.
another thing that was changed is that now i think both genders have equal chance of passing abilities. i think.

the shroomish i'm using for this is a female, so i'd want a male. it has to be something that can both learn drain punch and breed with breloom/shroomish. i know the clefairy line works for this. i think the oddish one does too. breloom/shroomish can breed with the "fairy" and "grass" egg groups, but only a few lines of those can learn drain punch. it'd all be listed on serebii.

to add to that, in gen vi males can pass on hidden abilities with
an everstone but only with ditto and it's not as high of a chance compared to a female with an HA holding an everstone

no it doesn't really work that way lol, i'd have to get it via one of the ds games and then poketransfer it to y
i appreciate the offer but i'd prefer a quicker trade lol, so if anyone has the mudkip line in x or y let me know (or i'll ask tumblr)

too l8 im ready
My information:
Name: Marc...
Friend Code: 2882 - 3839 - 2276
I am online right now. But if you can't then we'll do it later, I guess.
ok hold on i'll get on in just a moment, and i already have you on my friends
send me a trade request when you're ready when you see me (Lain)
do you want anything in particular in exchange for the clefairy or whatever it is with drain punch you're sending? i still have some pretty good defensive spikes/roost/whirlwind/brave bird skarmories left over from breeding that have 4 IVs
oh wait, i thought i had you but i guess i don't?? did you change accounts?? i have a marc that i thought was you w/fc 2019-9877-0866
either way the one you just gave me in this thread is invalid

Oh wait, you wanted it to be transferred to X/Y? I assumed you were referring to trading with Gen. V games since you didn't specifically denote. That Friend Code was from Black 2.
And sure, get your best female Skarmory.
oh, well yeah lol that is what i meant, if it's not too much trouble. i wouldn't have anything to offer if we did it over ds games, anyway.

Transferring it right now.
W-Would you like to have a...battle, too?
It's...a...surprise team.
And umm my logic was that you were going to transfer it on your own for some reason, or for some reason wanted to breed in Gen V., lol or idk. Though I guess I should brought the other posts recently in context.
tfw i try to be on top of my game and my insecurities lead me to correct
:(
my best female Skarmory has only 3 IVs, not 4, it seems. HP/Def/Speed. it has Impish for best Def optimization. and already has the egg moves Brave Bird and Whirlwind. so it would be a major shortcut if you wanted to breed Spikes-using defensive Skarmories like i did. it's all yours.
i thought i had some 4 IV ones, but they must be all males.

why don't you steal stones from clefairy/solrock respectively if you have a normal friend safari
or go to the pokemon global link to spend your pokemiles on the attractions that will give you either stone
cause trading's faster and this is only for kalos dex completion, i don't need to keep these pokemon
i mean if nobody does have them here then that's what i'll do but obviously for articuno i need a trade

that was a good battle
tfw thunderbolt and ice beam
actually most of my team was weak to ice
lol
i should have used recover on my sableye to save it since it had priority anyway.
yeah that was actually a good battle, v. fun
my poor skarmory though lmao it was completely blocked, all it got to do was lay spikes.
then again your chatot was very unfortunate too

Soooo.... are all the free event pokemon from now ongonna be vivillions with different patterns?
These last two events are for Vivillon forms that are otherwise impossible to obtain in any region. The games don't have any more Vivillon forms like this, so we won't get any more new Vivillon events unless they start distributing the forms you can already get.
There is, however, one unobtainable form left for Gen6: AZ's Floette.
Besides that, there are the three unreleased event legendaries: Diancie, Volcanion, Hoopa
Any other events we get will be items, special movesets, version/region-exclusive pokemon, shinies, unremarkable useless events, or repeats of already-distributed pokemon.
It's already announced that the next event, immediately after this one ends, is Heracross (X) and Pinsir (Y), with a separate GameStop event for their mega stones.
