Sincerely, if you honestly believe Busaiku said you needed 10 super-effective attacks to take down a pokemon seriously, I can only wonder what would be your reaction if you met drinky crow.

yeah man Goodra walls Greninja alright, getting 2HKOed and everything
 
DaBoss' Protean Froakie Giveaway
vK9HHz3.png


Come one, come all, you can get yourself a Froakie with the following:

Nature: Timid
Ability: Protean
4-5 Perfect IVs (none have a perfect IV in Atk)
Most are males, some are female
All of them are in Luxury Balls

What I would like, but not necessary, is any Pokemon with a nice nature with some perfect IVs. If you can't, that is fine, this is a giveaway after all.

Quote this post if you want it.

Pretty please! My FC is 3368-1491-9576. I won't be able to add you until later (4 hours from now) but I'd love one if you still have :). Thank you very much.

Also, venting my frustration with the RNG: Two fishing chains of over 50 and one of over 90, and no shinies...and the shiny isn't even meant to me, but to be given as a gift! Seriously...
 
If I have a Ditto with its Hidden Ability and I breed it with a pokemon that has a 'normal' ability, will the child possibly have its hidden ability?
 
I made the mistake of going to Smogon yesterday, to see what people were saying about the new battle changes and such. Sheesh. Apparently every Pokémon sucks. That place drains the will to use anything that's not the most powerful thing. No matter what Pokémon you mention, the responses are like, "No way! X Pokemon can 2hko that Pokemon y with stab life orb z. Pokemon y sucks.". >_>

I think I'll just stick to the non-competitive scene...
 
i really want one of those (or any) froakie, but that post is so old i can't even find it ):

i added a few ppl from this thread

feel free to add me i just got a 2ds with pokemon y and have 0 friends

I'm having fun breeding and so forth, but I would be such a terrible competitive player. No understanding of the metagame at all.

Is this thing still on? I'd like one.
 
"Just because the parents were great, it surely does not mean their children will also be great."

What's this game trying to teach children here? lol

every Pokemon is capable of getting OHKOed, that's a really shallow way of looking at it

I think they're trying to say that their parents don't make them who they are and they have to make a name for themselves.

I just like to breed the Pokemon I like with good natures and don't bother with IVs. I just try to get my Pokemon powerful so I can beat my boyfriend but that's it. Battling random people is fun but it's not like I'll waste 2 days getting perfect IVs for it. OU, RU, NU, whatever. I'll use it if I like it.

I think they could have worded that a bit better as children often misunderstand statements like that. The next part he says something like "It's sometimes the opposite!", so it's open to interpretation.

This dialogue here is hilarious.

"Wow! Get a look at these chairs!"
"They're absolutely "Chairrific"! Get it?"
"They're simply perfect in every way! What a brilliant design!"

This dood loves his chairs lol.

it's teaching kids to be gracious tippers :3

Ah...TippingGAF. lol
 
Is anyone else excited when they get a silly pokémon via wonder trade because it comes from a country they don't have yet?

Also... up to six different Vivillons just wonder trading. Trying to collect them all avoiding GTS if I can. Silly little goal I made for myself.
 
I'm starting to see more and more failed breeds on Wonder Trade...

Kinda hilarious since I have 3 boxes of failed Lapras to get rid off :p
 
A question for the pros:

My son and I are both playing through this game and enjoying it a lot. I've dabbled with Pokemon in the past but never done a full playthrough. For him, it's still a bit tough and frustrating at times, so since I'm further along in the game than he is I traded him a bunch of my unused Pokemon to make things easier. This morning he popped the game cartridge out by accident, and it turns out he hadn't saved following our trade and lost the Pokemon I gave him. He was a little upset about it. I don't have them in my save file any longer, so I assume these guys are gone for good?

And further to that, is there anything to prevent me from trading him some of my team, then reloading my old save file prior to the trade so that we both have the same Pokemon? And then further still, could we not trade and reset yet again, so that one or both of us could actually have duplicates of the exact same Pokemon (eg, two or more Charmeleons or what have you)?

I'm not saying I plan to do this but if it's possible it seems like a weird exploit.

Your son should abuse the share exp.

Also, I think you can do that exploit, I mean, he traded with you and didnt save, so the thing he sent you are still in his box and at the same time you have them on yours right?

The only problem is that you cant control pokes past certain level unless you got the right badge, so dont give them overleveled stuff
 
The friends in this are like so darn good. Much better than how they were in Black and White with the shell, Cheren, and stereotypical female blonde that can't think. They also look better. I'm not sure if they're better than Barry yet, though, but I'd say they are definitely on par. Barry made me laugh a lot.

Of course.

wishful thinking. Haha.
 
Today is the day I will beat the E4/Champion dear god.

This is the first pokemon game where I've clocked around 70 hours before finishing the campaign. There is so much stuff to do. I'm actually glad that the post-game is pretty thin; there was times where I felt overwhelmed with what this game has to offer. This game is soooo good!

After the story, I can chill a bit and:
• Grow EV berries
• TM hunting
• Max my style in Lumouise
• Work on a killer online team
• Go nuts on the Battle Maison
• Catch the rest of the legendaries
• Friend Safari
•
Solve pokecrimes
• Breed a shiny Gast--GODDAMN THIS RIDE NEVER ENDS
 
Baller status for rocking a Beedrill.

That is basically a early game party + Absol. I got the Rilou really early into the game (didn't know they would give me one).

If I'm trying to IV train for a Hidden Ability, should I consider just killing off all males?

Males can pass down Hidden Ability if paired with a ditto now. Not sure if it's 100% chance tho, But I guess a pair of pokes that were breed to have high IV are better than a wild ditto + a male with a hidden ability
