Na, the GAF US players are all there
Then they left me
Also, someone is using Heliolisk! I saw a Sawk earlier too. Some interesting teams are there and I like it.

Saw some great combos at the UK Nationals in May. I'm just glad people don't stick to the generic ones so often.
Cue Firestorm to chastise me for saying that
It did. This was posted on 4chan that a friend showed me.
Top Heal Ball
Bottom Dream Ball
His Aegislash
For the record, it is IMPOSSIBLE for Aegislash to be in a Dream Ball.
PokéBalls only pass from the female, as does the species of the Pokémon, and it doesn't pass from Ditto. It's impossible for a Gen VI Pokémon to be in a Dream Ball, or any Apricorn Balls for that matter.
Or his Aegislash was bred from one with it. Either way, I'm surprised it passed the hack check.
Clearly, I mean it's not Cottonee.
Check the Holo Caster.

I completely forgot that Coro Coro will be coming out in a week or so. I wonder what kind of reveals we'll get.
I decided to check out the latest season of Pokemon after seeing lots of funny gifs all over the internet. First time I've watched the anime since like...Johto?
- I don't like any of the new voices. Ash, James, Meowth, Professor Oak...ugh.
- Wow! Jessie has a new voice actress as well but she sounds identical to how I remember.
- Clemont is getting old fast.
- Serena is hilariously awkward.

Pikachu getting beat by a Surskit is...I have to remember this is a kids show and Pikachu obviously can't be invincible, but come on.

Nah, you're kinda thinking about things the wrong way around on the last one. The point of that wasn't really to show that Pikachu isn't invincible, but that there's really no such thing as a bad or weak species of Pokemon in the anime (even though they might still roll with the concept for laughs and stuff at times, it's consistently show to not really be true in the show). After all, stats and junk don't really exist in the anime at all, so there's no such thing as an inherently "weak" species, like there is in the games--whether a Pokemon is like a Magikarp, a Surskit, or whatever just tells you what it looks like, its type, and gives you a general sense of what moves it can learn in the anime, but as far as strength goes, that depends completely on the trainers and any given species (yes, even Magikarp), can run the gambit from from very weak to shockingly strong, which is actually one of the things I really like about the show myself (unlike the games, just because you know a Pokemon's species, doesn't mean you'll know how things will go down exactly and even Pokemon considered as weak in the games can do some pretty impressive stuff in the show, since the rules are different).
So the point of scenes like that isn't really to have Pikachu coming off as weak or whatever, but instead to show how much effort the other trainer must have put into their Pokemon and strategizing to win and what trainers are able to accomplish with their Pokemon with enough training.
You've just to come at the show from its own perspective, instead of looking at things from the POV of the games since while largely similar, they differ on points like that and things work better and make more sense if look at the show from its own vantage point and roll with it, IMO.

So I'm at the Elite Four in SoulSilver right now and doing some grinding, and I'm trying to decide whether I should use Gyarados or Dragonair as my final member. Gyarados has Ice Fang and a crapton of attack, but Dragonair later turns into the equally as epic Dragonite. Whichever one I choose is going to be a sweeper, and I'm thinking of building them as:
Gyarados - Ice Fang, Earthquake, Waterfall, Dragon Dance
Dragonite - Earthquake, Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, Fire Punch
Right now my team is
Typhlosion - Focus Blast, Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Lava Plume
Ampharos - Charge, Discharge, Focus Blast, Thunder Wave
Slowbro - Blizzard, Zen Headbutt, Surf, Shadow Ball
Heracross - Aerial Ace, Brick Break, Shadow Claw, Close Combat
Pupitar - Rock Slide, Dark Pulse, Thrash, Scary Face
Any suggestions?

Now, Team Magma still look awesome except their jumpers look like they're made of wood (which fits with Team Aquas theme of being pirates now).
Team Aqua got their uniform spiced up a bit.
Magma was always the coolest but they botched it up just a little bit ><
need more of this
Magma/Aqua fan art is the only thing that matters
Gyarados cause Gyarados > Dragonderp
But really, you can't go wrong either way, but I think Gyarados would probably be the better option.

Three days until Mucha Hawlucha!
Watching this video makes me appreciate the simple shading used in X/Y: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN6_SXq0jNM
Though I wish the colors were a bit more saturated in X/Y.

Awesome, thanks.
And shit, I did a full 3DS transfer when I moved from my 3DS to an XL last month - NNID moved over, so I should still be fine hopefully?
Just got it. Thanks for the reminder! Is this only the second wifi event they have done? After the Torchic one?

Normal Growlithe > Shiny, but it is still nice to finally have one.
It's in a Premier Ball too!

The Surf glitch was only in very early DP copies.
If you're not sure what version you have, just go with the AR.
Oh so they patched later JP DP games too? Oh ok, then I should just get and do AR then on my DPPt games then.
