Doubt its even possible.

Umm, why not...? :eek: I mean of course after they release pokemon bank. I even have all the legendaries from the past games and I have already 400 catched pokemon on my X's dex. I'm just curious if anyone have a guide book or something that tells what happends. On Black2/white2 you get shiny charm.

The 2 secrets of success:

1. Never share all you know

But yeah I find his post annoying, even if they are not directed at me.
I'd rather share, learn and grow. My self-esteem isn't bound up in how I do at Pokémon. It's a fun sport I think is best enjoyed supporting one another and growing together. And for the most part, everyone here has that attitude. I can't put a price on how much time I've saved, and how much the game has opened up to me, thanks to the generosity and insights of passionate people here.

Thanks for the great write up. So It seems that Kiloude City's Postgame Guy is the only sure fire way to calculate a pokemon's IV count?
There are probably other ways to calculate it, but the only way I understand is the IV Judge in the Kiloude City Pokémon Center. You won't get exact numbers, but you can deduce the range, and really all you're looking for is "stats like that can't be beat," which mean the listed stats are perfect. :)
 
Am I the only person here OCD and petty enough to care about having Pokemon in a specific type of Poke Ball (Luxury Balls), with perfect IVs and under my name at the same time?

It extends the breeding process by a hundredfold.
I have the same problem. It's even worse when you're breeding for a shiny in addition to all of that.

It was a joke. I'm not serious about that part :lol

I learned alot from you guys, I went from barely knowing what is the point of breeding to getting a couple of perfect bulbasaurs!

There are very likely pokemon in x and y that we dont know about yet.
 
So I finally beat the Elite Four yesterday.

Totally forgot to get a dusk stone for Doublade. Main star was Togekiss. I kinda overkilled with her. She was 96 by time I made it to that point in the game. As of right now, she's halfway through 99 to 100. She'll be my first level maxed pokémon in this game (got her at 30 as Togepi). Everyone else was low 70's except for Xerneas who was 62.


finally Bulbapedia has base stats and everything!
don't have to use Serebii anymore

Serebii forever. Straight and to the point.

So I wonder traded a lot of 3 iv bulbasaurs and now there is a guy spamming me with O powers :lol
He must be really happy
 
Parting shot is a such a waste with Pangoro and Smeargle only. Meinshao would have loved it (I'm still breeding one as I love the regenerator ability concept need to think if to get BP from Mr. Mime via Mime Jr. for better IVs or just use the Watchog I have lying round).
Ahh alright, stupid me lol.

Any suggestions on what to replace thunder wave with for a Blissey?

I was thinking of either substitute or defense curl.
What was the rest of the moveset? I'm guessing Softboiled (or Wish), Aromatherapy and Toxic.

Protect could work but what do you need a reason to stall (substitute kind of does that too). It depends on its role really. Not sure if Blissey is a toxicstall type as it special tanking usually forces a switch to physical.

Defense curl is well, you're boosting a base stat of 10...you're still taking lots of damage from physical. But maybe it it could mess with people as nobody expects +1 Blissey, then again I do not know how calculated stat spreads are for killing Blissey (I remember in Gen I it was a right toss-up) or, if it being alive for another round achieves anything.

Since it is a TM you are using you could try things out. Reflect would achieve more then defense curl.

Holy shit, just checked out my old games and saw I have event dogs, 2 shiny raikous, 2 shiny suicunes, and 1 shiny entei, adamant nature! And an event celebi!

I CANNOT WAIT TO TRANSFER THEM OVER. THEY WILL LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
 
What other major game-changers (in terms of competitive metagame) are you guys expecting in the future titles, whether it's XYXX or RS remakes or whatever? I'd personally be interested in seeing:

Ability Jade (hold item)
Enables the user's secondary ability.

Ability Jammies (hold item)
Enables the user's Hidden Ability.

Off the top of my head I don't know which Pokemon would benefit the most from having two of their abilities active, but I'm sure some interesting things would come out of it. Just like Megas, they'd lose their item slot, though.

I'd also like to see a fairly exclusive ability called "Duality" or something of the sort where a Pokemon could wield two items, for example Machamp given the whole four arms thing. There'd be some restrictions, of course, for example only one choice item, no life orb + choice band, etc. You'd have the potential for some ridiculous combos, the most obvious (but probably redundant) being Duality + Ability Jade + Ability Jammies for three abilities! You'd have a Machamp with Guts, Steadfast and No Guard, the ultimate flinch hax counter!
What I REALLY want to see in future titles are more implementations of attacks having "two" types.

I want Scald (Water move) to be super effective to Ice, for example.

There are 3 that have been discovered already, but no way to get them yet.
I bet there are some more mega evos that will be event only

Edit:
What I want for future games is a renting option from the GTS. As in rent one mon for, lets say 1 week, that has the stats and moves you want (but nicknamed GAMEFREAK). You can only rent one per week.

That will allow people to try things before commiting to breeding, and if they allow them for tournaments, people can do last minute adjust to their team (without having to hack or spend time breeding before joining the tourny) .

I would love it just to try many different thing really.

Spinda is one of the Pokemon I'd have to have as a sidekick if Pokemon were real. Would never be my first choice competitively, but damn that bear is adorable.

I just realized I never got around to posting my final E4 team like everyone else!

Jolteon basically rocked through 80% of it. Haha

*respect knuckles*

Jolteon's the best Eeveelution.

Am I the only person here OCD and petty enough to care about having Pokemon in a specific type of Poke Ball (Luxury Balls), with perfect IVs and under my name at the same time?

I seriously want a full team in either Luxury Balls or Priemier Balls. Only the best for me.

So I'm cycling around with two 31/x/31/31/31/31 Froakie from different language games sitting in the daycare. Flawless shiny Froakie, here I come!

Also if anyone wants a 31/x/31/31/31/31 non-shiny one, I'll trade it for other flawless Pokémon. I have both Protean and Torrent (mostly male, though). I suspect I'll end up with quite a few of them by the time I get my shiny.

I feel like I ask this from anyone offering Froakies lately. Any of them have Hidden Power Fire?

Also @ MicH & AmICoolYet: I'll be around more reliably today if you are still offering the rejected Nasty Plot Modest Togepis and Timid Hidden Power Ice Eevees respectively.

Yeah, I'm weirdly anticipating a Mega Jynx event, given she was on that huge list of trademarks where everyone else turned into a Mega Evolution. Perhaps to coincide with a movie short. She, along with Latios and Latias, were the only ones listed who haven't had Megas revealed.

I'd like to see 5 moves per Pokemon in a future title. Protect, Baton Pass, Swords Dance, Flare Blitz, High Jump Kick on a Mega Blaziken?

Otherwise, more and more dual type moves please.

6 Chancey's in a row and 6 Lucky Punches later. Anyone got any extra lucky Eggs yet? I don't want em I just want to know others have them.

Also is anyone else not getting the Scyther, metal coat, GTS trick to work? I don't know where I go wrong. Level 51 Scyther with metal coat and asking for Xearneas, I don't get anything.

if everyone does it, eventually it gets filled with way more Scythers than there's demand for

lol, where does everyone get the tiny reactions pics from? :)

I can't even picture a meta-game with five-move sets. Yeah, it'd vastly increase the utility of any given Pokémon, but it'd ALSO increase everything any given Pokémon has to deal with, and man, just think what it'd do for Pokémon like Ferrothorn who love to set up tons of stuff like Spikes, Stealth Rock, Leech Seed, Toxic, etc.

You're not going wrong anywhere. A lot of folks are using this tactic so the GTS is flooded with metal coat wearing scythers. It's possibly too late, maybe try for Yvetal or one of the birds?

Yeah, I got one from a Chansey. Wasn't specifically looking for it but I probably captured around 10-12 and got one.

Yeah, but whenever event comes I'll get it so I'll be able to eventually fully complete the dex. :D And even in white2/black2 you didn't need to have a few event only pokes (iirc keldeo and meloetta) to have dex considered to be complete and have a shiny charm. :p

Wait what? Explain?
The names elude me, but we've already deduced there are three event legendaries programmed into the game: a Rock/Fairy-type, a Water/Fire-type, and a Psychic/Ghost-type (this game's "Mew," presumably). The way people figured it out is by typing in their names as trade requests in GTS; the game went through the loading process it did when it recognizes the name as an eligible Pokémon. In fact, there are a number of trade requests on GTS requesting these Pokémon, but no one will get them until they're released (or the game's code is cracked).

The names came from trademarks. The typing came from pages Serebii had up briely before mysteriously taking them down.

Here are the Serebii pages for the three event legendaries that were taken down -- again, their names work on GTS, so they're real:

so waht does tippin do? if anything.

anyone have a good guide to battle stargies. im a noob when it comes to this stuff
My theory is it does nothing and it is social commentary from Masuda when he was in New York researching for BW2. "You want me to pay what? The hell is this bullshit." *makes game where everyone wants money for random things*

Yep, I want to see those too. Hopefully there are more than that, but I wont get my hopes up.

I just need one more TM from the TM girl in Anistar before I have all non-Battle Maison TMs. Awesome! Need to get those power items and a few hold items before I buy those, though

Man, makes you wonder if we could peer into the game's code, would we find another 30 Mega Evolutions waiting in the wings for their stones to become available via special events? :O
 

Anteo

lol this is a good theory

And just like Sakurai, he will say lots of money has been offered to Viridi given as a tip. And then he will say "anyways, it does nothing"

That would be awesome, it would be both the best thing and the worst thing. Can you imagine the outrage of people saying "more mega evos and not a single new pokemon??????"
And I would be happy, because of the mons of course.

And like Sakurai (and a puppy that just pissed on your rug), there's no way we can stay mad at Masuda, HE'S JUST TOO GODDAMN CUTE.

I'm beginning my run through the game world again following clearing the E4/Champion - I always do this in every Pokemon game. Find the side roads, HM blockages and items I missed the first run through, as well as all the new things that have changed for the post game, including legendary appearances, etc.

Yesterday: I encounter my first unscripted Shiny in the wild. A brown Graveler. It's down to 1 HP. It casts Self-Destruct.

Fuck.

Also, I was scared as fuck when I walked into a Pokemon Center last week - the whole game stalled for a full second or two....but then, a special version of the PC theme started playing, as well as a confetti explosion all over the screen - the game recognized my birthday! Lol

Once again, fuck the Battle Maison. 48 wins and then I lose because High Jump Kick decides to miss and Sylveon was left to take on Snorlax. Even worse, the old guy said this to me afterwards.



>_>
To be honest, I think that end quote coming from that guy makes the loss worth it!

Is Iron Head a good move to have nowadays with all the fairies?

My new Marowak is missing one attack

-Bonemerang
-Stone Edge
-Brick Break

Is that the only way to know the Pokemon is a shiny?

Yipes, I hope I've been paying attention for the last 20 hours.
They also sparkle when they first appear in battle. So if you aren't looking and don't notice their color is different, you might be in trouble.
