It's a shame we're not going to beat the record for fastest time to OT2 (yeah, there was the Japanese thread, but for most gaffers this is the main thread for the game). That goes to (AFAIK) the Gran Turismo 5 thread, which hit 20000 posts in just under three weeks. I thought the McV3 thread might pull it off but they fell several days short.Andrex said:Thinking about it, we'll probably need an OT3 in a few weeks (the mods usually cap threads at 20k posts.) Which gives me the opportunity to expand my OP out over a few posts. Phew, for a second I thought I was gonna have to start cutting content.
That's just, I, uh... wow.Izayoi said:
Do your games have playtimes registering in the thousands of hours or something?
Well, sure, I understand that you can multitask to a certain extent (hell, I'm posting now while grinding for the Unovadex), but doesn't it start to feel a bit monotonous after a while? Even just the bit I've had to do to get certain evolutions feels like an eternity even with the EXP hotspots, so unless you guys were using Entralink powers...
Oddly enough, though, I didn't mind the 20 E4 runs I had to do in Platinum to face Barry at max level. Maybe it's since they were named characters, maybe since I liked my team a lot more, maybe since it was my first Pokemon game I was playing seriously in almost a decade.
Or maybe I'm just impatient and not actually cut out for this kind of game. Who knows...

So, for example, a good handful of those Ditto might have been carried through the years all the way from the likes of FireRed?Izayoi said:
Yeah, I guess since the Pokemon personality value data structure has been the same since Gen III, that means anything done over the last seven years or so could well have made it to Unova.
Fair enough -- I guess I'm just one of the less-intense players who happened to wander into a thread full of hardcore Pokemaniacs. Nothing wrong with either play style, just the kind of situation where it's hard to converse on the same level.Izayoi said:
At any rate, I commend your dedication and wonder why people like you don't get medals from Nintendo or something.
I finally took some time to add some of you to my friend-list, I started with :
D-pad (from a previous trade)
Gravijah
Izayoi (both versions)
Wiseblade
OMG aero
Andrex
beje
feel free to add me if you have a slot left.
I have some time-off for the two upcoming weeks, so i'll surely start breeding a lot, I'll keep you posted about what I'm breeding as soon as I've made my little list
BTW, did Sixfortyfive vanish ? I remember seeing him post in the OT1 but I don't recall having seen any single post from him in this one.

Emerald and to a lesser extent D/P made that easier but yeah, you need a bunch of Dittos for that kind of thing.
Also the only shiny I have is a Hoothoot in HG.
Yeah, I had enough time to hatch it while you were finding your friend code. Enjoy.

It's always unsettling to see current video game references in the newspaper comic section. Those things are completely out of touch with current pop culture most of the time.

Masked Man
I said wow

I was frustrated enough trying to get a Timid Espeon from the Dream World that I didn't even bother with IVs (too afraid to check...), and I settled for HP Ground--not bad, but Fighting would probably be more useful.

That's amazing. I thought it might be a photoshop but [URL="http://www.foxtrot.com/2011/04/03/"]it's really real![/URL]
God I miss FoxTrot being a daily comic strip.

Sure, some people might not consider it 'ethical' (remember we're talking about 136-byte chunks of data here), but it's far faster than traditional breeding. If you're good, you can get a perfect Pokémon in less than an hour.
I don't have 'ethical' issues... I just can't hit a seed lol.

Maybe not that hard, but still unlikely.
Everstone passed Nature (50%) * Power Anklet passed speed (90%)* Hidden Power type (5.88%) = 2.65% chance. Unlikely, but not that bad.

But it's too harrd... I tried reading that stuff on Smogon, but it looked like so much work...
