Getting story legendaries is the worst.
Did you miss out on the shiny distribution?

Not sure if you did this but you can get rid of the first cutscene by running away from the first Xerneas encounter. Then just save and go from there. It'll still have different stats and nature each reset; you just won't have to go through the first cutscene each time.
Oh I know, I said so (I thought in this thread) after I looked at the two more closely.
How are these rejects? lol

Well they are perfectly fine, some I am preparing to use the Masuda method to breed for shiny ones so I end up with boxes full of 5IV Pokemon. For the others, it isn't too hard to breed 5IV Pokemon if both parents are already 5 IV, so I might as well breed a few more.Oh I know, I said so (I thought in this thread) after I looked at the two more closely.

Ahh you're breeding for Shinies! I see.

I was out of the loop for about 2 years. For some reason i wasnt getting the news letters until december tooCaught one but damn thought it got stat locked like run away mons
IDK I mean the leaks have been right about everything so far, and Dark/Fire Marshadow isn't a unique typing at all, like not even if the idea of "a typing that's never been done before". Also it seems really weird to just have the Sun, the Moon and Mars represented but not the other Alchemical Planets. Plus Robinroot is literally the name that fans have been using for Rowlet's final evo.
Of course, 104 new Pokemon, some of which have multiple forms that actually change typings (and maybe stats?), and new Alola forms is an ideal compared to Gen VI's weak display.

Either way, I'm not taking chances, I only looked at what we knew we were getting (the very top and the very bottom). We'll find out on Friday if this thing is real.
Different leaks. Just because one was right doesn't mean everything is, especially as one of the leaks claimed Alola Ninetales was Fire/Fairy.

The Chinese leak and the final starter leak that people actually trust are entirely different leaks. The reason people trust the final starter leak has nothing to do with the Chinese leak.
If anything that Chinese "leak" is very sketchy and questionable. We know what the "logo diamonds" are for now and it's pretty unlikely they'll be used for anything else. Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest you are "building a league" because there's already a version of one.
I think that at best it's an unreliable source that somehow got a brief glimpse at some promo material and made some guesses off of that.

Yeah the Chinese leaks felt like they were sent through multiple people and languages before it reached the wider internet. There's some accuracy to them but some of the information is so wildly off that you have to wonder if TCPi isn't sending incorrect info out to various regional branches to help prevent leaks by making them look like lies.
Which has wrong elements i.e. Z Crystals
But still, I misunderstood the subject in question. My apologies
I mean no one gave the 'Starters Leak' a second look until the Chinese Leak backed them up. They were even posted here before everyone dismissed them as fake almost immediately.
Fair enough.

TBH I would be satisfied if this dex leak is true 'cuz the last couple evo lines looked very relevant to my... interests. I still call bullshit though.
Eh, fair enough.

Build a league?? How does that work?
Who are you asking? The game isn't out, no one has played it. Your guess is literally as good as everyone else's.

I've been looking for something to play casually without much engagement (not doing competitive stuff), and it seems like a good contender. I guess I'll check it out.

It was rhetorical.

Agreed. Pokemon's day night system sucks.

I love the real time system, helped with immersion

IIRC there are people who don't like that in gen V and VI the day/night thing doesn't affect what Pokémon will appear.
I say fuck 'em. This is a case where I'm perfectly okay with losing a "feature".

Well your memory is bad then, it's always been like that. It's not like there are many that are exclusive to a time, for the most part it's just a change to the Encounter Rate. The Pokemon time system is fine as it is, honestly your suggestion that it'd be tied to an hour is kinda terrible considering that you'd make every time windom 15 minutes long that way, which is way easier to miss than four seven-hour long ones.
Hoot hoot is 100% only at night
Also gen 2 and 4 are the only generations that do this stupid system
Cindi Mayweather

Oh. I thought I was missing out on Pokemon by playing at night.
many is there for a reason.
[ugly laughter]
Gen V's Seasons is an example of the time system that actually didn't work

You are
Goddamit. This is why I love Dex Nav!

Seasons were fucking terrible.

A good idea, but they were terribly implemented. I doubt we'll see them again which is a shame because with some polish they could really add to Pokemon games imo, especially with Gen VI's addition of dynamic weather.

False, hoothoot can be caught in the daytime by using headbutt on a tree

I had (and often still have) the opposite problem; by the time I was able to play it was already night. lolI hated Day / Night as a kid because my parents wouldn't let me play after 6PM

I want to make a Pokemon team based on the cast of Martin, but I can't think of what kind of Pokemon Martin would be.
what is the rest of the cast? lol
What the fuck is Martin?
HawthorneKitty
Sgt. 2nd Class in the Creep Battalion, Waifu Wars
I'd imagine Googling Martin and TV would give you your answer, but that's something a human that wants to engage in a conversation would do.

Martin - Energetic, but can be feisty and kind of mean and selfish. Arrogant too. But deep down he's a good guy. Hates Pam. I think Raichu is a good pick.
Gina - hard working, reaaonable, peace loving, puts dinner on the table, respectable, has to deal with being with Martin. She's a good shoe in for a Togekiss or Molatic.
Pamela is tough, says what she wants, intimidating. Hates Martin. Go with Gyrados or Sharpedo.
Tommy is the voice of reason, educated, is a counselor at the Boy and Girls Club, is a ladies man. Not sure what to make him. Probabaly Espeon.
Cole is Psyduck.

Bruhman was easy, he's a Snorlax, Cole is slow and wears a hat most of the time so a Slowking, Martin calls Pam Mr. Ed and talk about her horse hair so she's a Rapidash, Sheneneh's an Aromatisse, Tommy's a Golurk, and Jerome's a Scrafty. Not sure about Gina, Martin, and Mama Payne. I did make Gina a Milotic, but not sure if it fits.
Are you not from the states?
