And said fee is trivial when you compare the cost of having to transfer (outside of Gen III->IV, and even then it's circumstantial)

I'm just a bit annoyed that my Pokémon are still stranded in White 2.

Not if you don't buy into your cost of 2 DSes business it isn't.

That's the thing though, it's cheap when you compare it vis-a-vis the cost of the transfer requirements before.

I suspect people might use Pokémon Bank as a one off thing to transfer stuff and no more, making the effective cost $0, assuming that the player does it in one go and doesn't need to transfer in the future.

Hilariously bad? Giratina just body-checked some poor soul. That's awesome!
I know legendaries are made a little bigger than everything else (compare Giratina to, say, Wailord) but that sense of scale is pretty damn terrifying. Just look at how huge his Origin Forme was compared to that Flabebe.
And despite that, Giratina has the spatial agility to just materialize into nothingness, and come back to shoulder-tackle the opposition.

Automatic expansion as you fill it up.
You start with 7 boxes, but that expands to 15, then 23, then 31, as you fill them. So 930 Pokémon in storage + 6 in party + 6 in Battle Box + 2 in Day Care?
930? Okay, That's probably enough space for me, haha.
Just don't get into breeding. I need Bank yesterday, and not even for the transferring

I just start flushing junk bred Pokémon. :3

Yeah, I don't even normally do competitive battling. I kinda feel like to be any good at that you had to start doing it 10 years ago or something. I just collect my mons and roll through the game, then wait for the next generation to come along.
Does anyone know when PokeBank is out in NA now?
It's funny if there isn't a date yet, I'm moving to a place at the end of the month that already has it but I wouldn't be able to use it without buying a new 3DS+copy of the game. lol
I'm trying to SR for Shiny Mewtwo in LG and catch preferred Nature or Shiny Mesprit right now in Pearl at work. lol
Good thing I have that Masterball on standby if it is a Shiny Mesprit, oh boy.

Yes, and no NA release date has been given.
Why did you think Nintendo's stocks jumped so much?
;-;
I want to bathe in the nostalgia of a remake. Ruby was the first actual Pokemon game I owned. Every gen game before was one that my friend let me borrow.
After some thought, I have to say the Umbreon candies are my favourite. They're the ones which look like smarties but actually have this weird fruity filling except with a similar texture to the chocolate filling of actual smarties. It's hard to describe. But they're good!
The Sylveon ones are basically just smarties and there's nothing wrong with that, while the Flareon ones are kind of like large lemon-flavoured skittles, which is great. But the Umbreon ones definitely take first place overall, for a combination of their uniqueness and taste.

Am I thinking way too much about a bunch of candies which will soon all be eaten and of which I'll have no reasonable way to get replacements? No, you're stupid.

Nah, I don't think we will get another main game until Spring 2015.

So eeveelution are candies now huh? I wonder if eeveelution are delicious
Yes, they obviously don't let you remove hats because they never want the world to figure out whether or not it was hat or hair on the male protag for RSE.

*wishes he could play with his Victini and White Kyurem in Y now, but Pokémon Bank is still not out for him*
I always thought he was wearing a headband and that he had white hair.

Yes he does.

I thought this too, but sadly it was just a stupid hat.

I honestly think it looks worse.
Do whatever you want dude
but yeah, having to see stance change is annoying
However, if you get your Aegislash's level pretty high, you wouldn't need to change stances back and forth anyway
Doublade isn't very useful for doing anything aside from tanking, which you never need to do ingame unless you're doing a challenge run. Aegislash is one of the best physical sweepers available, and it'll generally outspeed the significantly lower-leveled pokemon that are around. Things that do get to strike first will have to try and puncture Aegislash's stellar defenses or King's guard, should you choose to equip it.
Even just giving it swords dance+Iron head and/or shadow sneak (to bypass its shoddy speed) will pretty much carry it through to the endgame. (It can notably smash half of the champion's team into fine paste.) The only time I recall having my Aegislash KO'd was when I failed to anticipate a Fire Blast.
I wonder if someone has tried to solo the game with the Honedge line.

It's so he can have an identical hat for every day of the week.

Using this moment before going to the hospital to say how much I love the Kalos final form starters design. It's the only generation where the theme is quite visible while being consistent and hard to get (unlike say, Gen V's "historical warriors" approach).
Greninja is often hated because "it lost its foam scarf". But then that's because they only look at it outwardly. It doesn't need the foam scarf when its pustules acts as such. If anything, it's more ninja-esque than before because rather than having its weapon exposed, it is now kept. The pointy design mimics a shuriken and the whole posing shows it too.
Chesnaught is often hated for some odd reason. And yet the coloration works - it is a ripened chestnut. People say it looks like Bowser but its actually a separate, obviously-not-part-of-its-body shell that gives it that look. Some say it looks weird due to the patterns and such, but it's pretty much a chainmail coif stylized to look like a wooden armor. Even the beard is a nice touch to mimic those old bearded knights.
Delphox is often hated for being ugly. Personally it is my least liked of the trio but that's mostly due to looking a bit effeminate, but not because of poor design. The ear hair resembles that of a traditional witch hair (and even an old sage's hair), and the long fur resembles that of long coat/robes, with patches even! It gives Delphox a "master"-like look, like a scholar. What people forget is that a scholar/sage traditionally looks like an old, wise person rather than a "cute witch girl".
It's sad how the three gets overlooked due to the "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" folks. But really, we're already three generations since they time they made designs more intricate and about finding details to how they fit their narrative and lore.

That hat needs to go?
Hospital?
Greninja and Delphox are perfectly fine with me. Its Chesnaught that still looks weird...it must be the beard.

Real knights need da beard

I'm just glad that the Kalos starter's final typings weren't as mind numbingly boring as the ones from Unova. And I like Chesnaught, I was really worried for the Chespin line when I saw how awful Quilladin looked. The dorky, human-like face creeped me out. It reminded me of this weird kid's show I saw once about a bunch of talking CGI planes with human faces.
Greninja is my favorite Starter since Typhlosion (who was my first). The other two are solid and have very distinctive designs that make them equally memorable to me.
I watched that show when they still used models. I'm convinced that CG ruins nearly everything.

I started my Emerald playthrough last night with all 3 Hoenn starters + Jirachi + Gyarados (with Surf+Waterfall), it's pretty fun tho the traded pokes quickly started ignoring me until after I was able to get the first badge.
I'm just going to continue farming Jirachis, I hope I can get a Shiny one from Wishmaker already.
