Pokémon XY |OT2| Would you like to leave a tip?

GameFreak really made a huge step forward in how they handled breeding this generation. Destiny Knot and the Safari Zone are makes building a competitive team not so discouraging. Obsessing over IVs has always been such a bother, but I've always been compelled to keep pushing for the best. Now it shouldn't take longer than a day of dedicated hatching for me to breed the right Pokemon.

Just another reminder that pretty soon I'll be giving away all of my Aipoms I've been breeding. They all share the following stats:

Nature: Jolly
Ability: Run Away (Technician upon evolution)
Perfect IVs: Attack, Speed (some have more)
Pokeball Cosmetic: Quick Ball (tried for Master Ball--wouldn't work)
Egg Moves: Beat Up (some also have Fake Out)

dddddd not when I spent all last night breeding and ev training an Ambipom. I couldn't manage to get a Jolly nature so I settled with Adamant. I think I may have to take you up on this offer. However, I'm quite picky about the original trainer for my Pokémon, I prefer to have it as my player character. If I breed one of these Aipoms with a Ditto, will it keep the IVs?
 
Okay so I just talked to a little kid and the guy, phew, okay, I'm good. So the guy does a little squat to be on her eye level. I'm dead. I'm gone. This game is insane. I can't believe that just happened.

Now I'm just stuck in a loop where I talk to a little girl over and over again. I can't
 
Most likely. I heard rumors within the next two months.

Hopefully they'll actually meet a release date and not have stock problems unlike the X/Y guide.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're no longer selling companion book Pokedex and instead just updating the Pokedex apps for 3DS, Android and iPhone from now on. It lets them add the mythicals and third version/remake changes later without having to issue a reprint and annoying everyone.

The Aipoms I send you won't have the best IVs. At the least they'll have perfect Attack and Speed, like I mentioned, but that still leaves room for 4 other IVs to inherit that, more than likely, aren't so great. You'll probably benefit most from my Aipom because of its nature. Give it an Everstone when you breed it with a Ditto, and 100% of the offspring will retain the Jolly nature. I'll give you a male, too, since I'm not too sure how female egg move inheritance works, and that'll probably work best with Ditto breeding.

I imagine you'll have to breed for quite a bit more, but the end result will be better for you. And, in the end, your perfect Aipom won't have my name shown, haha. (That bothers me too. Can't handle it.)

Man, i swear this little details are what make nintendo so special
 
Hmm. Just bred a Marill with perfect IVs (except Speed), and got Adamant. Alas, it has Thick Fat :(

Ability Capsule might have a use after all.

They could do what they did for Platinum and release a mega guide with the Pokedex included. Kinda doubtful now since I imagine they are making a good deal of money splitting it up and selling a new Pokedex with every new set of games.

I've been seeing this picture get around and I really don't think it's intentional. All the pokemon in X/Y have a boring stand-up-straight idle pose, just look at what happened to meditite :(

Really curious to see how Slaking will idle.
 
I'm just going to leave this here.

Could some kind soul avatarize Dragonite for me please?
 
Are the learned move list on Serebii the most accurate so far? I'm checking across Bulbapedia, pokemondb, and serebii and they're all saying different things or are incomplete in some parts for the same pokemon (looking at Froakie and it's evo's).

D'awwwwww.

I haven't played XY, but with the new XPshare system I don't see that becoming a hassle anymore.

Yeah, I realize that. I just already have a full team and don't really want to switch anyone out to grind a HM Slave up, lol.
 
Compulsively Checking Trash Cans: The Game.

One of these are going to have something good in them. I even got a medal for it on GL, lol.

I'm moving slow as hell because I'm reading GAF (._.) but I just met all my friends and Shauna said I was Li'l A fo sho

I love these guys already ~(◡‿◡ ~)
 
Hey guys, I'm breeding Vullaby because I want a badass Mandibuzz to be my tank and Smogon says that Big Pecks is by far the superior ability, but now that that Overcoat defends against powder moves I should pick that one, right?
 
Does anybody want to trade with me to Evolve Gengar?

If you have nothing you need evolved I have 2 extra Timid / EV-less Haunters if you'd like to have one of your own.

I'm at 1676-3687-1464

Edit: Done, thanks Rocket
 
I'm really glad I don't have to catch and evolve all of these old Pokemon again. I can just focus on the new ones and transfer all of the old ones over in a couple of months.
 
Is there a trick to getting the EV reset bags? My exp share fucked up my Evs and now my Blastoise and Venasaur have much too many HP points.
