So I'm watching Shofu's stream and when deciding on what item to give one of his Pokemon, he passes through Latiasite. Maaaaaan, I wish he would use it on stream.

Did you ever get that 6IV Ditto?
Soul Dew > Latiasite
Not yet.
Yeah, but I just want to see it mega evolve and perform attacks

If you have a Destiny Knot to use with Ditto, I can throw a Lucky Egg on him for you

Did you want a 6IV Ditto still? Have one left after my last session of cloning them. Unless Nintendo Playstation is offering the 6IV one, then nevermind.
Yeah, I got a destiny knot, a lucky egg would be much appreciated! Probably have to be tomorrow, heading to bed in a minute unless you're around now!

Are you Chris?
yep!
Edit: Thanks a bunch! Now my stupid mistake of releasing Fletchling with my lucky egg has been rectified! And I got that Ditto :3 Let the PokeSex commence!

No prob chief. Got in then realized after making initial post, after rereading, you might be offering.
Drooling over the stuff in CoroCoro. Dig the Pokemon Trozei 3DS. Was kind of hoping it was a decal though.
Stupid region lock. Looking at this Darkrai page and tempted to do a pre-purchase of a movie ticket, but going to have to wait until more comes out about it. Need to know if I could even use serial code that comes with it, whether it's locked to JP games and all. If it's doable, I'll probably purchase a ticket to get it. Will await more info on that.

Darkrai is pretty cool I guess, especially with new moves. I'm all for new berries though. I hope someone here will get one and spread the berry love. I'm ready for new event Pokemon in the states. Where dem

Yeah, new move is really what I'm looking forward to on it. Just want to make sure it's something doable with an English copy of game. Not sure what kind of serial code process kind of crap you'll have to go through, but hoping for best. Ready for new event Pokemon Stateside too. Preferably wifi based ones instead of "going to the store" kind right now.
Darkrai won the poll which pit it against Jirachi, Manaphy & Victini as possibilites. Blame the Japanese public.
As for the code, you put it in the Serial Code option of Mystery Gift.

There, half of my new VGC-rules team is bred. Should be able to finish it tomorrow.
I had half of these Pokemon already bred and trained but I'm rebreeding them anyways. Why? I need the right balls damn it.

Yeah it is. I have Japanese Y so got Charizard with Charizardite X
No. It's region locked.

Yeah, just found out trying to use my code on my English game (right before ya posted). Well, what's point? It's a one time use and you have to buy the magazine to even get it. Seems so pointless to be region locked. They've done a great job of releasing the game at the same time and being more open about it. Getting Pokemon from all these languages is cool. But then they just block ya.
Sadly, I don't have a Japanese copy of either. It's only thing blocking me, seeing as I do have a JP 3DS LL. Ah well. Events that are pointless still. Just don't get the OMG LOCKDOWN on all this stuff when you have to buy stuff anyway. Though saves me trouble on movie ticket. Actually glad I forgot about the code in this Corocoro until seeing you post your Charizard. Otherwise I'd have been a bit peeved, haha.

Same here (>_<)
I have both and clone so it doesn't affect me. But still, that's pretty awesome!
All events are region locked, to be fair.

That's what I don't get though. I don't think any should be honestly. If you're in country of where it's going on and get the code or whatever, don't see the problem. But then again I'm so against region lock stuff to begin with. It's just kind of funny that they're open, but when it comes to events not so much. Don't see big deal if someone qualifies and is able to just doesn't play that regions stuff, but meh.
What can I say, I hate region locking.
Though, maybe in this instance with my code it just means I have to hunt someone I know down with a JP copy so I can use this code. Haha.
I've never really done any EV training before so I'm wondering how that works exactly.
I'm getting ready my 5iV team, I wish they were all shiny oh well maybe with a shiny charm later on. So far I'm planning on:
Lucario - Mega - jolly / justified - ???/Sky Uppercut/Bullet Punch/Blaze Kick
Alakazam - timid / magic guard - Psychic/Knock Off/Thunder Punch/Fire Punch
Arcanine - adamant / intimidate - Morning Sun/Flare Blitz/Extreme Speed/Wild Charge
Rapidash - jolly / flash fire - Double kick/Double-edge/Megahorn/Flare Blitz
Ninetales - timid / drought - Heat wave/solar beam/toxic/hypnosis
Liepard - jolly / prankster - Foul Play/substitute/thunder wave/swagger
I don't know what to give Lucario, swords dance? Earthquake? Some ideas would work.
Edit: which magazine is this? Can I go across the street and buy from my 7-11? I am in Japan and do own japanese y.

You'd get wrecked by Earthquake and Drizzle if you ran that team.
Also, here's a good beginner's guide to EV training in XY: http://nuggetbridge.com/articles/ev-training-hotspots-x-y/

Some Chlorophyll Pokemon wouldn't kill ya. Earthquake from an opponent will, though.
Should I split the team up and make more teams?
I also have 5IV Treecko(for sceptile)-adamant/overgrow, Absol-jolly/superluck, also can breed Samurott-adamant/torrent and for a bold Vaporeon.
I can also get around to doing the Scizor and Gengar builds in cherish balls thanks to the Pokemon Center events.
What do you guys suggest?

Another pokedit question. I want a Defog Empoleon, but all my builds are not legit appearantly. Any clues? Pokecheck would be an option of course, but I can not nickname it this way.
You need tanks/stallers in your team. One for physical attacks and another for special attacks. Eviolite Porygon2 and Toxic Orb Gliscor are awesome tanks, especially if you're still learning. You might also want to look at Pokemon that benefit from holding an Assault Vest like Escavalier and Goodra.
Have you checked out Smogon? Some of your builds aren't optimal. For instance, Jolly Mega Lucario may seem OK, but there are a lot of Pokemon in the current meta that not only counter it, but also outspeed it. Adamant Mega Lucario is better imo.
You're also lacking ice (Ice Beam), fighting (Close Combat, Superpower), ground (Earthquake), and rock (Rock Slide) moves.
3 Fire types and Lucario means you'll die to EQ. Either get a Flying/Levitate mon or a Grass type, preferably with Chlorophyll to take advantage of Drought.

Does anyone have extra X exclusive megastones? Or can clone them for me? Gamefaqs gamefaq'd flaked on me 3 times so now I don't care where they come from.

Is there a thread dedicated to asking for trades, or is this one it?
There's a thread, but it's not that active so you might as well post here.
Everyone is directed to the main X&Y OT thread ( this one ) because the other trade thread is barren and there are plenty of kind folks willing to give / pass around stuff for free

It's コロコロ (CoroCoro). I'm not sure I've ever seen it at a konbini in Japan. Though I never really look at their selective stuff anyway. Pretty sure you'll need to head to a book store. Depending on book store can vary a bit where it's at, so you may need to ask.
And on note of owning Japanese Pokemon, does anyone here own X or Y in Japanese that I could give my code to get my Charizard? (Doesn't matter to me which, because I own X and Y in English, so I have both stones already. Just would like the Charizard.) You can clone it, if you'd like. If you can't clone, we can discuss details in a PM about payment for helping.

Edit: Done!
Oh ok, I'll give the bookstores a visit soon.
As for my team I'm putting in a Sceptile and a Feraligatr, now I just need my floaty mon.
Edit: going with Lucario/Noivern/Sceptile/Vaporeon/Alakazam/Arcanine for my first team. Liepard will be an alternate.
I'll use Samurott/Feraligatr/Rapidash/Ninetales for different teams.
This may seem like an obvious question to pokemon fans, but I am wondering if this game is accessible to an eight-year-old. The free download code has me thinking I could play this game alongside my daughter. I was already a rather dedicated gamer at that age (albeit on a Coleco Vision), and my daughter loves to play Mario Kart, Pikmin, Donkey Kong Country, Luigi's Mansion and such, but it seems this would take another level of dedication.
She doesn't have a DS, but I would buy her a 2DS and we already have a spare copy of Mario Kart 7 to register for a Pokemon download. I have my own unused Pokemon Y code already. Money is not an issue, it is the time investment that concerns me.
I have already decided to not allow her to play Animal Crossing due to the extreme amount of busy work and reliance on real-time play, and the time-sucking quality of the game in general. I try to limit her video game playing, or at least only play for extended periods when we are playing cooperatively. We have so many other things to do (puzzles, board games, outdoor activities, playing piano, crafts) that I don't really want a game that will be an MMO level of time-suck.
I haven't played a Pokemon game since the first, and even then, I quit rather early due to it feeling like a grind. I haven't played this new game yet, and part of the excitement would be for my daughter and I to play alongside each other and discover the game together, so I don't want to try the game before then. I did watch a spoiler-free review, and it gave me the impression that this game is light on story and early grind, and clears out some of the time-wasters from previous games.
Comments? Anyone with kids that age playing the game? I'm just wondering if kids are able to focus enough to play through the whole game with so much else going on (Minecraft and everything else kids do). I guess the worst thing that could happen is she doesn't play the game and I resell the hardware.

I first played Pokemon when I was that age. Lots of people started at that age. It's more than old enough.
And nah, there's no need to grind in X & Y. She would have to disable an item and train a full team of 6 Pokemon evenly to make grinding even a consideration. 8 year-olds typically don't do either of those things.

Pokemon Y so far for me is an addictingly fun experience, but it certainly isn't hard to put down. There's not really much to grind, and the experience is really streamlined compared to the earlier titles.
I'd say go for it. Crystal version (Gen2) was pretty accessible for me as an 8 year old. We're on Gen6 now, and I can't imagine how easy it would be to get into Pokemon now!
And if she doesn't end up liking it, feel free to try it out for yourself! XD It's an enjoyable game overall.
