I got my first legit Shiny in a Pokemon game (Besides Gyrados). A fire ape thing shiny appeared in the first forest. I caught it :3
 
Just battled with one of my best friends...

Hex

HEX

I didn't know about it and it decided the game. The battle did end up one-on-one at least, but it threw me for a few.
 
Congrats! This grinding is no joke. Im gonna try one more batch and move on

I know right? Haha I usually hate grinding in my video games.. But fuck if it isn't addictive and exciting as hell to see what every single egg turns out to be.

Pokemon ate my soul. ;_;
 
You know, at first I thought 70 new pokemon was abysmally insufficient. But I find myself far from disappointed with the regional pokedex.

Same with me. Nver thought I'd go through this in video games. Pokemon always brings out the kid in me though
 
So, other than coverage against poison, is there any point to psychic compared to fairy?

Thinking about dropping psychic on gardevoir in favour of something with more coverage, but STAB against poison is pretty nice...
 
This game finally pushed me over the edge in getting a 3DS. I've been wanting one for a while since it has a bunch of games I'm into, and Pokemon was the last straw. I'm at the 5th gym and really enjoying it. Haven't played a Pokemon game since Emerald came out, so lots of new stuff and pokemon for me to discover. Hawlucha might be my new favorite pokemon (although Shuckle will forever be #1 in my heart).

I have Pokemon off and on since the days of Red and Blue, but man... This is the only one I've gone headfirst into, learned about IVs, EVs, etc. I haven't been this addicted to a game since Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. lol it's intense.. Really wanting to get a competitive team going!

it uh, hits fighting-
oh

maybe it hits Poison/Fighting types for 4x damage!
yeah just drop it

You're not weak to Steel and Fire doesn't resist.

he means offensively, although I guess maybe Fire types are annoying (what is Mega Gardevoir running anyway)

It can pretty much run through anything besides ghost/dark. My delphox became a 1 woman wrecking machine with just flame thrower and psychic

I was thinking more about the offensive side. Mainly if I should drop psychic on gardevoir in favour of energy ball or shadow ball.

Thinking of:

Moonblast
Will o wisp
Thunderbolt
Energy/shadowball

See, with fairy you get SE on dark and neutral on ghost too. And fairy covers most things Psychic is already doing.

Plus moonblast is 5bp more with 30% chance to lower SA.

I got 3 of my mons with at least 4-5 perfect IVs. Never cared for all this training so I never bothered to learn about it but now I wanna test my might. Just 3 more to go

4 more for me! I'm trying to get Japanese dittos of all the natures I need now.. I figure if I'm gonna be breeding gobs of mons I may as well improve my odds of getting shinies. Masuda method all the way!

Bad news is... The trades are completed within like 10 seconds of being put up on the GTS. :/

OMG! First ever Shiny hatched from an egg! And its only on my third egg! Really surprised when I saw it looked a bit bluish. A bit disappointing with the ability though, was hoping for Moxie but ended up with Hyper Cutter. Thankfully, we have the Ability Capsule which I still don't have.

Nice! Congrats :D

Grats~ I've never seen what a Shiny Pinsir looks like before.

I caught a shiny Pinsir last night, the blue looks really nice on him.
Unfortunatley, I had a Timid Synchronizer in the lead.

I think people were saying Hyper Cutter is good if you're Mega evolving him since it prevents lowering his attack through Intimidate when hes first brought out.
 
Look what I found in another GAFfer's safari:


Second shiny ever! First was a Geodude in Diamond. A little disappointed that my two shinies are Pokemon I'm not huge fans of, but it was still exciting. I was really worried he would self destruct, he broke out of a Quick Ball and 2 Dusk Balls
 
So... I'm looking for a Chespin and a Fennekin, no specific stuff about them, just the Pokémon. I have a couple of Charmander and Froakies and other Pokémon you would like to have.

My FC is: 5069 - 4038 - 8325

Send me a PM if you add me.

I would like other starters too, but for now I want those too I mentioned above.

Thanks.

Sweet! That one is actually pretty decent looking.
 
So I have a question... I've been trading on the GTS the past twenty or so minutes. Trading for japanese dittos. The trade appears successful, with the animation, and the other players' pokemon coming into my possession. But the pokemon is nowhere to be seen in any of my boxes. Is there a bit of a delay when trading out for something, and not depositing in for something? Because all the Dittos I put up on the GTS go out and I receive the pokemon. :/
 
Just finished breeding my Mawile so as usual I have a giveaway of spare pokemon.

I've got 8 female Mawile, all with Intimidate and Adamant nature. They all have 4 perfect IVs in any combination of HP, Spe, SpD, Def, Attack.

Also have 5 of the same but male.

PM me if you're keen.

The Ditto you receive replaces the one you traded. It will be in the exact spot your previous Ditto was in, giving the illusion that nothing happened.
 
The boxes filled with the start of my Marill project have been very handy on GTS so far for getting stuff I don't have yet. Mostly friend safari Pokemon I don't have access to, like Clefairy and Phanpy.
 
Think I'm gonna try to make a team trained with right EV's, a good nature, and decent IV's like most people do. I got a modest Togepi from GTS with outstanding potential overall with 31IV's in hp, special attack, and speed. Worth using? Two other questions. Is there a guide on EV training and where is the massage person at? I saw them once but I can't remember where.

Yeah that's just it though... The spot is still empty, even though the game shows me a successful trade. And just 20 seconds ago, a ditto I deposited on the GTS had the successful trade animation, followed by a japanese-named Ditto coming into my possession... But in the very spot where it should have been, was the Ditto I originally traded.

I think the GTS is seriously fucking up right now. Can anyone else report anomalies like this? I don't think I could be the only one receiving these errors, as they are appearing to be based in the GTS.

I'm on version 1.1 of the game, if that's of any consequence.

Weird. Maybe it's an unforseen side-effect of the recent patch, which was supposed to fix some connection errors in the GTS. I haven't updated to the new version yet, so I'll send something through the GTS and check it out.

Actually, do you have pokerus by any chance? I really need it for EV training
