Drew this in Pokémon Art Academy. I know it has it's flaws, but I am really enjoying this spin-off

She is doing something though. Not a trainer though, but I'll take her over baggage Misty and just a girl Misty any day.
The only thing she does is drool over Ash and cook Poké Puffs. Worst companion ever. Watching Korrina and Lucario's arc made me wish she was the companion in this saga.

She actually does try out different things - that's her goal. That and getting on Ash's pants. It's a breath of fresh air to say the least.

And you do know you have a pitfall with regards to Korrina. Once she does her job her role is done - so she'd end up doing nothing afterwards.

You know, every time I see Celebi I can't stop thinking about Joe at this point.

Joe is a projection of Celebi's Psychic powers. Celebi covertly travels through time and disseminates it through Serebii.net.

Where do you think all that insider information comes from?

Fair point, I haven't looked at Serena's character from this perspective. I don't mind Serena liking Ash, I just wish she wasn't defined by this specific characteristic. The way it is now, in the future, we will remember Serena solely for being "the girl who wanted to get on Ash's pants".

In regards of Korrina, that is true, but if she was one of the main characters, it would take the whole XY saga until she did her job completely.

I posted this in the XY thread, but this might be a better place to do it.

I'm hoping to get a Charizard Y megastone. I have pokemon X. My other option is to drive to a gamestop, buy a used Pokemon Y and play until I get get it so I can put it in the bank, but that's a huge hassle. So if someone has a Y stone to spare, I would appreciate it greatly.

You can't put items in the bank.
 
It's super dumb that you can't give items to Pokemon in the Bank. One of the big things behind the bank was to future proof gen swapping of Pokemon for the rest of time but now we are going to have to have an item reset EVERY gen. All my Mega Stones... my Strange Souvenir...

Actually if the Strange Souvenir isn't for this gen how the hell are we going to transfer it to the next gen?

I think the reason for not transferring items goes more to rare candies, masterballs, and other items that can make the start of a game easy. At least with the badge system, a traded pokemon might not listen if you're underlevelled. But items can easily make the beginning portion of the game even easier. Like a person can technically transfer non-stop masterballs to a new game and technically catch anything at anytime. Sure it can be time consuming but thats probably something they don't want to see.

They could always restrict use of the bank until later in the game.

What is this strange souvenir you speak of?
I stopped playing after beating the elite 4 and getting the legendaries but I haven't even done the Looker quest lol

You're the first person I saw who dislike Looker quest o_o

Anyway go give it a shot still. It's a feels story.

It's mostly doing for a closure on Xerosic and what happened to Looker. It's a nice tidbit. And some nice slums stuff in Lumiose.

Here's hoping that Pokemon Z or whatever will have more things to do post E4. I completely stopped playing mine post E4 too... Maybe I will try to get all of the Pokemon again, but transferring all of them back from my old games through the bank seems like such a hassle.

Getting a full pokedex is easy, and a ton of gaffers can provide pokemon to look at to fill the dex since many in the XY thread run full livingdexes. The GTS is pretty much the easiest way to get any non-legendary.

Getting a living dex is slightly trickier but still possible, a ton of gaffers can provide the legendaries.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
After about a ~1.5 year hiatus I've decided to dip back into my 5th gen backlog. I had done pretty much everything in Black 1 except legendary capturing, so I reacquainted myself with the RNG-related techniques and have pretty much finished it off now; only Landorus remains. It's a good thing I already had extensive experience with this stuff in 4th gen because the relevant PC tools seem to get more and more complicated with each game.

The BW1 roamers are obnoxiously difficult; natures are a crapshoot no matter what. I probably would have settled on the first Speed boosting one I got for this guy in any case, but I'm pretty grateful that it ended up being Naive.

Fuck whoever decided that Baton Pass should no longer pass Mean Look. Seriously. Even capturing this one was more of a chore than usual due to that. And I refuse to snag RNG'd legendaries in anything but a Premier Ball because I hate myself. Now to unceremoniously toss him into the virtual trophy case and forget about him.


Finishing off Black 2 next, which I dropped pretty early in the quest.

Anyway, I still haven't hopped on the 6th gen train yet. Might jump in for the remakes, might not. An eventual "Z" version is pretty much a given, right?
 
Cross posting from the XY OT Thread.

I've just completed another round of breeding and I'm left with a number of pokes that are available to whoever wants them. There's a lot of them, so feel free to request multiples if you like. My FC is in my profile, so just send me a PM if you're interested.

Thanks!

It's fucking BORING

I looked up what you're supposed to do and if there's any rewards and it's not worth doing in the slightest. Such an awful post-E4 quest.

So you're saying you didn't do it but you know it's boring?
The Looker quest line is great, it might not have a real "reward" but the story is reward enough.
 
You should finish it tho, it was really feel good.

I hate everyone involved in the quest, though. I can't see how it could possibly get better.
You told Horizon that he isn't missing anything because it's boring, convincing him that there was no need to even try it when the general consensus is that the Looker quest is great.
Lots of people like terrible things, like how Final Fantasy 4 has fans. Opinions, I guess!

People think the Looker quest is great relative to the terrible main story. On its own it is just boring quests that just takes way too long to complete with so many battles and the holocaster crap. It just reused old areas for the most part.

The Looker is awesome in Platinum and Black/White, in X/Y, not so much.

Didn't Ash Pokedex a Magikarp in Unova.
Why is he doing it again, I thought that's what Serena was for.

Weird that they got to Ambrette before Cyllage too.

Erm. That's the order everyone playing the game went, too. Because you go through Connecting Cave to Ambrette, then do stuff around there and north to Cyllage.

Kalos :p

And he occasionally does that, but most of the time on old mons he rarely see. Serena does it more often.

I'm just gonna go ahead and do the Looker quest since I have some time this weekend.

Had to look up the steps to trigger it though. Arceus knows when I would've figured that out as simple as it sounds. I've never found much interest in any Battle Tower-esque type side challenges so I didn't know having and winning at least one match was a thing.

Good, it's great.
