I've been meaning to Soft-reset for shiny legends for awhile but my backlog keeps getting in the way. :[
I agree
Because waiting for toxins to take effect would be boring.

Do you have the shiny charm? I'm wondering how many people who SR actually have that item.
I took inventory of my dex a couple days ago - I have every unobtainable (sans the two unreleased ones of course) and every legendary except Thundurus and Landorus (and those should be relatively easy to pick up). Overall dex is ~450. I could *probably* achieve my lifelong goal of having a living dex with another... 30 hours of playtime or so? I'm tempted, man. It has been something on my gamer bucket list since Gen I, and I've just never gotten around to going the full distance. Between AS, Y version, and the fine people on GAF though (and again, already having all of the unobtainables), I'm wondering if I should just go for it here.
If not though, I'm estimating I could get there by Gen VIII just through my normal process of catching a lot of 'mons through the single player campaign and then continuously bulk transferring everything to the next game. Z version -> Gen VII -> Remake -> Gen VII version 2 -> Remake -> Gen VIII... that's six games to fill in the holes in my dex through natural play.
The downside is that GameFreak will definitely remove the shiny charm as a reward and revert back to a useless certificate in the first game I actually pull it off in.

The time Charizard went to sleep against Sparky the Pikachu. Ritchie automatically won.
Not sure if that one entirely counts.

Technically that was just Charizard flat-out refusing to battle.
Shut your dirty mouth heathen and bow down before your colorful avian overlord.

How many afros does Ho-Oh have? None? No way am I bowing to that. All hail Regigiggidy and his glorious hair.

Yeah, but earlier in that battle squirtle was considered out because it was put to sleep

Yeah Indigo was just flatout weird.
Nope different battle altogether. It was a shitty referee though.

Im pretty sure by the indigo league Charizard stopped being an asshole. I think the only reason he was an ass was cause he was like lv 80 and ash didnt have enough badges for him to listen.
Speaking of PokéVision (Pokémon Television - just roll with it please), I watched Pokémon Origins again over the weekend and then the Genesect movie for the first time yesterday (since it was recently added to Netflix). The difference was depressingly stark - it's almost impossible for me to enjoy any normal PokéVision now since Origins set the bar so high with what I want out of the animé. What I wouldn't give for them to do a miniseries for each gen of games. Sigh 
EDIT: I still live the first couple seasons, but it's impossible for me to determine if it's all nostalgia-based or whether or not the show was objectively better back then. Still, the select adventures from the past several hundred episodes that I've seen have done absolutely nothing for me. It's such a shame, too, because there's enough room in this world for Origin-esque stuff to pop up once a year or so in addition to the regular show.

Oh boy - I was going through and checking my legendary count when I saw the OT for the Manaphy I got was "♂ ". I never owned Pokemon Ranger, and I can't remember if I got Manaphy through an event or in a trade. I'm trying to make sure all important 'mons in my dex are legit, though... what's the over/under on this one being hacked? Do I have plausible deniability here so I can continue believing I have all unobtainables?

Origins really varies in quality. The 1st and last episodes are obviously the most well-animated, while the 2nd one has some really spotty stuff.

Oh man, I remember being soooo mad at this as a kid.
I don't get why Charmander turned on Ash to begin with, the dude was so friendly towards him and as soon as he evolved it was like he completely snapped into a new personality.
Boss Doggie

Go blame one of the old writers there. Apparently wanted Ash to be the Nobita of sorts.

I saw a tweet which showed that the anime is already on the 6th gym? That's pretty fast, I wonder if that's indicative of any game releases or if they're just going to stretch it out from here on out.
Yep. I have a full national dex (minus Keldeo and Victini). I don't think Shiny Charm affects the Shiny chance in friend safari and mystery portals, though
I'd go for it now, so when you have to collect new pokemon you'll just need to grab the regionals as opposed to wrestling with the question of getting everything all over again.
It's had the same function 2 gens in a row, which seems to indicate it's a keeper, so I wouldn't worry.
Decolora 2: Electric Boogaloo
Brace yourself
It's been 1.5 years, that's not that fast.
Though Ash just beat Clemont, so there's still some time till the 6th gym.
It's not going as slow as Sinnoh, but it's about on pace with Hoenn, if not a bit slower.

Considering that Pokemon can choose to not evolve because they want to remain as they are, I think there's something about evolution that actually changes their personality.

If they need padding, they can always tack ORAS stuff into the show.

Charizard still cared for Ash, he just didn't respect him. It's why he didn't do shit initially during battles, but would go out of his way to save Ash's life.
Boss Doggie

People say Ash will battle Elite 4
Charmander was originally someone else's Pokemon and when a Pokemon with a different original trainer gets too high levelled it stops obeying.
And if you want to go one step further you could say that the earth badge doesn't make Charizard obey because Ash didn't really beat the gym leader.

I can see that happening since none of them has actually appeared in the anime yet outside of the Mega Pokemon Special.

Has Team Flare not shown up yet? Huh, that's weird. Has there been any mention of the great war or the ultimate weapon?
People are delusional, Ash is nowhere near good enough to face the Elite 4 and he won't be for long time. We've never seen one of the Elite 4 lose to anyone other than the Champion for a damn good reason.
Nah, that bullshit is only in the games, having badges won't do shit for gaining a Pokemon's respect in the anime and real life, you actually have to earn it as a trainer and a person.
Ash in the OG series didn't deserve Charizards respect, he was an awful trainer, it was only in Johto when he was finally good enough to earn it.

Gonna start watching the XY anime when I SR for some good Suicune later. There seems to be a sub available so I guess only one question remains...
Sub or dub?

If anything the great evil group of Malamars have posed a greater threat to the world than Team Flare.
Sub. If anyone recommends dub put them on your ignore list.
But seriously, watch the subs.

Well he did beat gary, who was the OG pokemon champion.
Ash is doing really good right now, well if we are ignoring the Goodra-Stuff.
HIs competence definetly rivals his Sinnoh one, and we knew what the writers had to pull there to make him lose.
So i wouldn't call people who think he can defeat the E4 delusional. It's going to be exciting for sure though.

Gary didn't win anything, he lost before Ash did in Indigo.
