But Braviary sucks and Madibuzz's name is a reminder that the localizers don't know what a vulture is and suck at making names. Why oh why did they did they come up with cofagrigus? Just make something simple like Sarcophos.

Mandibuzz is playing off of Mandible, which her bone skirt looks like, and Buzzard, which is a Vulture. The name makes sense.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Mandibuzz isn't the name we should be complaining about. We should be complaining about how dumb Eelektrik is.

I just caught Cobalion. Do I need to have him in my party to capture Terrakion and Virizion?

Nope.

 

[ryan-ts]

Sooo, anyone need anything? I was kicked off the PS3.

Hmmmm, let' see.....I'd like a Charmander, Growlithe, Gastly, Abra, Bagon and Trapinch. Also would like a Red Rider BB Gun.

 

[Gravijah]

grumble you people want complicated stuff

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It says I've traded with 35 people now. I'm not gonna go after Thundurus until I get that Master Ball because I'll be SRing a ton...

 

[jman2050]

I'm really waffling on how viable Eelektross would be on a serious team. His movepool is pretty good, he can run physical, special, or mixed sets pretty well and being able to learn a grass type move covers the big hole that most pure electric types have in coverage. And of course there's Levitate.

But he's slow and doesn't quite have the defensive options to make up for it. Coil is good but even against physical attackers you're giving your opponent two free moves before you even do anything if you gtry to take advantage of it.

 

[ryan-ts]

Well you are the PokeSanta, are you not?

Mandibuzz is playing off of Mandible, which her bone skirt looks like, and Buzzard, which is a Vulture. The name makes sense.

Buzzards and Vultures belong to the same family along with Hawks, Kites, and Eagles. In People use "buzzard" to refer to a wide variety of birds, usually vultures in North America. The closest thing we have to the kind of vulture that Mandibuzz looks like is the California Condor, which is a vulture. Given the bones making it look kinda tribal it's probably based on a stereotypical african vulture. Vulture sounds cooler than buzzard nonetheless

 

[Roto13]

thanks man! Enjoy the snivy!

Did you give this Snivy the nickname "Snivy" >_>

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Anyways I wanna put up a serious (SRS!) trade request now.

I want a Tornadus. I want it with the natures Naive, Hasty, or Timid. And I want it to have a good Speed IV. Average or high IVs in other stats would be appreciated.

If you trade this to me, I will give you a Master Ball, and three of the following Pokemon. Or, if you don't want what's on the list, I will fully train any Pokemon of your choosing, including EVs, nature, ability, moveset, and if the Pokemon can be bred, I guarantee two perfect IVs of your choosing. (Hold item not included.)

The list of legendary Pokemon I can trade:

• Zapdos
• Articuno
• Moltres
• Shiny Raikou
• Shiny Entei
• Shiny Suicune
• Celebi
• Jirachi
• Uxie
• Mesprit
• Azelf
• Dialga
• Palkia
• Regigigas

I do not know the nature or IVs of any of these, but I could find out on request. They all have zero EVs.

 

[Gravijah]

Aww too bad mine is Calm. Got no use for it.

Well now... Time to beat the E4 so Tornadus revives...

I'll get working on this. Hopefully I can do it before other people do. Or if someone else does hopefully mine will have better IV's.

 

[ryan-ts]

My Tornadus is bashful and is free to anyone who wants it.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

About the Master Ball, it will be given whenever I get 15 more trainer IDs and after I catch a suitable Thundurus.

Aww too bad mine is Calm. Got no use for it.

If I get no other requests then we'll be in touch, k?

Sweet, thanks.

 

[CornBurrito]

Sweet, thanks.

Might take awhile... What speed IV are you willing to settle for? How good must the other IV''s be? Does synchronize work on fleeing legends?

I don't think so. To be completely clear, this is going to be a very difficult task.

I don't want to be too imposing but 29/30/31 in Speed is a must. The rest should be over 15/16 but it isn't that much of an issue if one low stat is a total outlier.

 

[Teknoman]

I just got to White Forest. It feels like I won the lottery. <3


Love my new Volcarona. Named him Mothra. I'M ORIGINAL

lol my Carracosta is going to be Gamera.

 

[Gravijah]

You punks all suck. It's all about King Ghidorah.

 

[Qwomo]

The names are still bad.

Gen V has forced me to nickname my Pokemon for the first time.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Landorus is also a dumb name. I mean, Tornadus and Thundurus kind of gel together, but Land + Orus just does not.

 

[Qwomo]

Should have been TERRORUS.

 

[Gravijah]

The names are the least of the problems when it comes to the genies...

Oh I know how difficult it is going to be. I'm up for the challenge.

Hmm... is there a downloadable IV calculator for this gen? I wont be able to access the internet tomorrow or most of friday, but I'll have a crapload of time to play Pokemon. If I could check its IV's without needing to use metalkid I could make better use of that time.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Well yeah, but I've aired my grievances about that before. TBH their designs are kind of growing on me, even if I'll never think they're "good."

I personally don't know of any.

THEY COULD AT LEAST LOOK DIFFERENT


oh wow look different colors and some extra crap

 

[Qwomo]

Also anal beads.

Let me show you my anal beads.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

What I don't get is how Blue/Purple = Electric, and Purple/Green = Flying. To me it seems like Thundurus and Tornadus' designs should be switched.

 

[Articalys]

So, how does one actually get items from White Forest? Everytime I walk through there I find nothing. I feel like it was designed to punish people who rush through the game...

You'll see the little Pokeball overworld item icon just laying on the ground every so often. It seems to be random. Some days you get something, some days you won't.

 

[D-Pad]

Hey! IV breeding isn't half bad. Once you get the IV you want it's pretty easy to pass it down along with the nature. Checking the IV's are a little frustrating but other than that... I'm okay with this.

Wow @ anal beads. Can't unsee that.

 

[CornBurrito]

I personally don't know of any.

Meh. I'll probably need most of the time to even catch one with one of the three natures you're looking for.

Getting good IVs on a roamer is hell though. IV breeding isn't so bad if you have a Ditto with good IVs.

Yeaaaaah... I don't want to know the painful details of your quest. XD Would make me feel worse.

 

[Articalys]

I guess I just have bad luck then, since I've been there five days straight and nothing. Maybe I need to increase the town population through entralink then...

Don't feel bad. I'm going to feel bad taking three of those beautiful legendaries.

You should make him breed something ultra complicated.

 

[CornBurrito]

Bbbut three shiny dogs....

or Celebi/Jirachi/one shiny dog.

 

[zumphry]

No one sees her in a swimsuit.

Especially if my theory of her being N in disguise is correct.

Saw way too much N in

his creepy ass room

I give you the three shiny dogs, you give me it, I give it to Andrex, I make him breed something complicated.

 

[TheOGB]

they should have done the sprites like the artwork

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Gravijah shut uuuuuuuuuup. >_>

 

[D-Pad]

This is the first time I've done anything relating to IVs so I'm surprised. Especially after hearing all of the horror stories about it. Game Freak could have been nice and placed all of the hintful NPC's in one area. Flying from Route 3 to Mistralton and then to Nimbasa gets old pretty damn fast.

 

[CornBurrito]

I give you the three shiny dogs, you give me it, I give it to Andrex, I make him breed something complicated.

Sorry but I can't do that to Andrex.

Spoiler

Deal! Now just give me a suggestion for something ultra complicated.

If you trade with Gravijah you won't get the Master Ball...

 

[Gravijah]

OR WILL HE?!

 

[RagnarokX]

The names are the least of the problems when it comes to the genies...

Ugh, genies. They are based on Raijin, Fujin, and Inari; spirits of thunder, wind, and fertility in Japanese myth. Kami trio.

 

[JVIDICAN]

Did you give this Snivy the nickname "Snivy" >_>

I don't think so :-
lol. Would I be able to change the name if I took it back for a sec?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

In the meantime, anyone wanna swap a Shelmet and Karrablast with me?

 

[Gravijah]

Ugh, genies. They are based on Raijin, Fujin, and Inari; spirits of thunder, wind, and fertility in Japanese myth. Kami trio.

Genies!

 

[D-Pad]

So what are the evolution parameters on MetalKid's IV calculator for anyway?

Another question: Do IV's stay the same when a Pokemon evolves?

Andrex I can help you... We can help each other.

 

[Styles]

Yes yes, could someone with Black Version trade me Tornadus and Reshiram briefly so I can get their data on my pokedex?

Thank-you
