I imagine we'll be getting CoroCoro in the next few days, can't wait!
Only stuff I've seen recently is a single post on 4chan saying the Japanese fandom has been throwing around the term "Meruhen Type" (meaning "wonder tale", some kind of German loan word) for Sylveon, Xerneas, and Yveltal recently or something, but who knows if that's speculation.

One time it took me half-a-day to get a satisfying Sewaddle.
I actually got a SHINY SEWADDLE hatched from an egg before I found one with the right Nature + IV combo. Interestingly, the father Leavanny was a Shiny too. All I need now is a Shiny Swadloon. :0

This was the 5th egg I hatched. Haha.
(Yes, I know the date is off. One of my obsessive tendencies is with when and where it says the Pokémon for my team are hatched. The 15th of the month is usually to when I always choose to change the date.)
I'll probably give this one away if anyone wants it. I actually wanted a female to help with the Attract woes my formerly all-male team recently ran into. Though so far it has been too bad about Zorua's 12.5% female rate. :/
But Illusion copies gender too!
More like Anger Point.

WHY DO YOU HATE ME ARCEUS?
Seriously, what are the chances of those IVs without using the RNG? I've never gotten anything that good before, and of course the one bad stat is one that I need!
I'll just have to settle for this one. :<

If it's anything like the past few examples, we'll get the cover tomorrow and a few rudimentary details about what's inside.
Fun fact. Sylveon was actually posted two days prior to us discovering it. As such, I am hunting very very hard today
Boss Doggie

Yeah someone already posted that.
They're very shitty in that they deliberately picked the terrible comparisons and not the good ones, like the ones with prominent humans.

! Are you still trading this? I've been wanting to breed a Zoroark for a long while. I have a whole bunch of Lv.1 pokes with good IVs from pokes I've bred in the past. If you're interested I'll look through my game and post a list.

Actually, I'm a bit more inclined to believe this because, as Serebii said, CoroCoro leaks usually seem to start as text rumors first before we get pics popping up.
But then again, I've no way of searching Japanese sites to see if this is real. And I kind of want it to be real because I've been wanting a "Fairy Type"
Yeah, Charmander's old trainer...Darien? Look great. He was drawn differently, but I instantly realized who he was and didn't even realize the change till I saw an old picture.

What rumor?

Dude on 4chan simply posed "rumblings around Japanese fandom indicate a Meruhen Type" (a German loan word for fairy-tale) and that Sylveon was one, and Xerneas was Meruhen/Grass and Yveltal Meruhen/Fire.
That's all he posted, and didn't add anything else, which is different from most rumors which are usually a whole paragraph in detail.
IntelliHeath

I hope that it's real. I'm going to take that rumor with very very small grain of salt.

I talked a bit about it in my podcast the other day. I don't really want it to be called fairy though...
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Why? They can't call it Light or Holy because it might led to controversy. Also I really like Fairy as name because it would actually make sense for Clefairy, Jigglypuff and Chansey.
Yup.
Whether this will retcon "Normal" or not (if true) I don't know. I've always hated the fact that it is called "Normal." It just makes no goddamn sense. Like, they weren't able to just do Typeless or something.
Same reason Steel was later introduced, which altered Magnemite. Balancing, mostly, and adds variety to typing.

Got rocked by Red's Pikachu. Level 88?! Jesus.
He swept my whole team which are around 55. Is that too low? I guess I answered my question.
Here's my team. Some are burdened with shitty HM moves and I'm still playing postgame stuff--catching legendaries, rock climbing caves, etc.
Typhosion (Blaze)
54
Charcoal
Cut
Solarbeam
Sunny Day
Flamethrower
Graveler (Rock Head)--Can't evolve lol and I'm not changing my whole wireless setup to WEP to do so.
Quick Claw
55
Stone Edge
Earthquake
Rock Smash
Explosion
Machoke (Guts, should've gotten one with No Hit)--Can't evolve. See above.
55
No item
Strength
Cross Chop
Dynamic Punch
Rock Climb
Crobat (Inner Focus)
55
No Item
Fly
Confuse Ray
Poison Fang
Bite
Espeon (Synchronize)
55
No Item
Psychic
Future Sight
Shadow Ball
Flash
Gyarados (Intimidate) Mystic Water
55
Mystic Water
Waterfall
Surf
Ice Fang
Dragon Dance
Any recommendations on updating movesets or proper levels? I wish this game was more like Gen V in leveling. It's a pain to level here. And getting lucky egg is also hard as well.

You need to train your pokemon little more. I had to grind to get my pokemon to about 70ish. You need to get HM Pokemon so your good pokemon wouldn't suffer with bad HM moves.

I do too usually - even in BW I made sure to teach everyone, just in case I needed the moves. I don't really care much about "optimal movesets" in the main game, since you most likely won't have to worry if you learn the right things.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
People have different style of how to handle HM. I used to spread it out to the party until I got tired of it so I went with HM slaves because they are perfect fodder for me to raise pokemons with items.

I think optimal movesets are more important when you start doing the expert level challenges like Battle Frontier or PWT in B2W2.
But for me I only need Rock Climb and Fly it seems right now.

I mean they don't matter to me during the main story, before beating the E4 (and some time after). Stuff like any Battle Point facility is strictly postgame for me, and require different approaches beyond "make sure I have a switch-in for any type".
And on that note, I often make a team specifically for those advanced challenges, so the outcome is the same in the end.
So I'm probably going to get a 3DS and Pokémon X or Y in the fall, but for now, I think I want to get BW2.
Even when looking at bulbapedia, I don't really know which game should I get, Black 2 or White 2.. My friend is saying that I should get White because he thinks it has better legendaries.
Is there some simple guidelines into picking a game? Like "if you like this or that, get White 2"?

Look at the boxart for the games. Pick whichever one looks cooler to you. That's about all
I really don't like how much smaller they've made Charizard in the middle picture. It just doesn't feel right for him not to be big and bulky
Stealth Rock has trimmed him down.

Well, it's random. We might hear by tomorrow to Friday.

Any day now.
Also, from reddit:
I've always though it made no sense not to award experience to Pokémon who helped capture other Pokémon, especially if you consider that you can actually get experience by switching and not battling at all.
UltimateIke

Yeah! I used to take my Pokémon to the Battle Institute one at a time so they'd auto-level to 50 and I could enter their stats into an IV calculator. Once I realized how much faster and easier Pokécheck is, I stopped doing the calculations myself!
Yes!
I'll trade this one or this one. Whichever one you don't pick, someone else is welcome to!
You don't have to trade me anything special, unless you have a PP Up or PP Max you wanted to part with. I'm redoing my whole team, and even with playing the Dream Radar it takes a while to get enough PP items for every attack.
My friend code is 4213 1795 5994.

I say stick the more particular descriptors in breeding groups (ground, fairy, dragon, etc.) and maintain the existing types we have.
I just use the IV guy and a few Rare Candies to check IV's. Doesn't take too long and the IV guy helps weed out the really poor IV's pretty quick.

Did you have a look at the pokemon exclusive to each game while on bulbapedia? Personally I just pick the version with the pokes I like best in it. White 2 has Reshiram, Black 2 has Zekrom and then they fuse with Kyurem to make the one on the cover.
I'd like the male one please! Friend code is 4813 6886 2313. I have 3 PP Max I can trade, how many do you need? (I have like, 19 PP Up, where did those come from?!)
UltimateIke
Member
Just one would be more than enough! I'll be on to trade in a few moments.
Learning to have one devoted "HM Pokemon" opened up a whole new world for me in my Silver version days. I always thought people ran with mixed HM teams only to see myself getting outpaced when folks started using mixed coverage teams instead.
I just wish if I didn't have to run back to the Pokemon Center to withdraw my dedicated fliers sometimes. :lol
