Doing a Nuzlocke and Chilli absolutely destroyed me with Lillipup. Already lost my Snivy, Patrat, and Simipour to him, all I have left is my own Lillipup, and a Musharna I was lucky to score on shaking grass.

EXP Scaling was great in the main story, but afterwards when you got Pokémon over Level 50, it started getting ridiculously grindy.
Lots of people remove event ribbons with hacks to wonder trade. I got so pissed because so many people were saying "Yay I got a Shiny Arceus on Wonder Trade" when that event started, but all of them were hacked
I am one of the few people on the Internet with a real legit shiny Movie Arceus.
Take that phoneys!
Seriously tho, I don't see how hacks do any favours for anyone.
I dealt with one person a while back who said hacks are fine because the event distributions are essentially hacks too.
Makes me laugh the lengths people go to in order to justify their cheating.
Foe fucks sake...

Didn't Sugimori say that they would never cut Pokemon because some people would be upset if they're favourite was cut. They weren't opposed to cutting some redundant moves/abilities though.
I don't believe that wasn't what was said, he just said that some fans think that.
That said, Japanese is a tricky language. I'll see if I can hunt the truth.
Don't expect moves or abilities to be removed though.

I can agree with this.
Though the idea of a Pokemon that holds its own eyes in its hands sounds like it could be funny.
They let you select groups of Pokémon.
Red is singular and the default which selects a Pokémon when you tap it
Blue is essentially a drag and drop. It doesn't bring up the menu when you tap a Pokémon
Green lets you drag along a selection box which it then grabs for you for you to move everything within the area.

They correspond to the actions that happen when you select a Pokemon in the box.
Red is the default - when you select someone, you see the regular menu (Move, Summary, etc.)
Blue is "move" - selecting someone will pick them up, and you can then move them somewhere else.
Green is "multi-select" - select once, and a green square appears. Select somewhere else, and all the mons in the square made by the two will be picked up at once, letting you move multiple at the same time.
Basically, the blue and green options are meant to save time moving Pokemon around.
edit: Whoops too late
Hm, true. That really wouldn't be a problem in ORAS thanks to Blissey bases, but that's probably not something we can expect Game Freak to keep going forward.
I'd still like to have it back. Maybe they could give us a key item that allows us to turn it on or off.
Or maybe they could finally give us a bonus boss with all their Pokemon at level 100.

XY is actually pretty hard to grind Pokemon during the main game without EXP. Share, I tried to level up Pokemon individually and it went very slowly---a problem is probably because it's hard to find a place to level-up a Pokemon because the Wild Pokemon is so varied, I had to constantly run from battles when I got a S.E. Pokemon.
Black and White feels so much smoother to level up individual Pokemon during the main story.
Throwing in Vs. Seeker would help SO, SO much. In Platinum I always found the perfect Trainers with the best teams conductive to training a certain Pokemon and just spammed them. There's one dude around Pastoria who has plenty of Grass and Bug-type Pokemon that give out great EXP., and is easy to exploit weaknesses on I spent like an hour during my adventure grinding up everyone 10 levels.

Oh yeah, one of the lyrics in XY&Z, the one in parenthesis that usually mentions a move or ability, is One Million Volts.
For references, Hundred Thousand Volts exist and it is called Thunderbolt in English. I wonder if we'll get a new move.

300 Damage, 100 accuracy, no draw backs, only learnable by a Pikachu and if you evolve him it turns into Thunder Shock.
If 100,000 Volts is Thunderbolt then 1,000,000 Volts sounds like it could just be Thunder.

Thunder is just called Thunder in Japanese. *shrug*
You can check the place it was caught at, but it generell its hard to tell.
Anyway always assume WT shinys are cheated or hacked, best case would be a clone.
The Giratina was found "soaring in the sky" while the Mesprit was found in the Nameless Cavern.
What do you think?
Probably legit caught and then shinified/cloned with Powersaves.
OK, thanks for the info. I figured they had to have been modified in some way, I'm just not sure how.
If you are actively using it online, then yes, you could get banned someday.
If it's just lying around in your box I doubt you'll have to fear something.

we're getting a pokemon xd sequel!
I have a DS (phat, original model) and a 3DS also original model. Is it feasible to get pokemon from the old GBA games all the way to my copy of Pokemon X using the various pal parks, trading and w/e other transfer methods? Seems like such a convoluted process, but I would love to clear all my old pokemon games so I can go back and replay them and I don't want to lose all the pokemon I've caught over the years. Not to mention I would love to get guys like my shiny charizard off Soul Silver and my shiny magneton off Heart Gold.
I am very late to the 3DS and Pokemon Y party... I really want a Bulbasaur and a Squirtle. Are those hard to get via trade? I don't know anyone who plays Pokemon, so I can't reach out to my friends, as they're home console only.
Also, is there any way to get the mega stones from X (I've bought Y), be it via trading or whatever?
The 3DS will arrive by the end of the week only.

Oh it can be done. It's just a HUGE pain in the ass.
3 -> 4: Pal Park (6 Pokémon at a time and can only transfer so many times within a 24 hour period and also have to literally catch your Pokémon again in the gen 4 game)
4 -> 5 Poke Transfer (6 Pokémon at a time plus an awful minigame)
5 -> 6: Poke Transporter (1 box at a time)
Bank is a godsend going forward.
The GTS (large centralized trading center) is usually full of assholes who want legendaries for their common Pokemon, but you can filter them out, so finding those shouldn't be too bad. I get a lot in Wonder Trades as well. If you don't have any luck, message me and I can breed some for you.
Plus you get your choice of a Gen 1 starter near the beginning of XY.
And to my knowledge, all Mega Stones are in each version except for the stones for X or Y Charizard/Mewtwo. So unless you're wanting Mewtwo X or Charizard X, you'll be fine. And I'm pretty sure Mega Stones can be traded, just not deposited in the Bank (like all other held items).
Yeah this is just about what I was expecting. I don't think it would be a major loss to say goodbye to my gen 3 pokes. I'm mostly concerned about gen 4 since that's when my interest in trading peaked and where all my shinies are. Does the poke transfer require 2 DS's or could I transfer from my DS to 3DS?

Yep, you can use 3DS backward compatibility to transfer from Gen 4 to 5!
I would recommend booting Gen 5 game on the 3DS and using the original DS for the Gen 4 game (you'll have to use the download play business).
Then, for Poke Transporter, you just have to open the app on your 3DS while the Gen 5 game is in the system. Just make sure anything you want to send from 5 to 6 is in Box 1 in BW/BW2.
This is my dream. Let Genius Sonority make the RPGs they were born to make.
It will never happen again.
Alright good stuff, thanks. Last question, is regular ass trading between DS titles just impossible now that WiFi Connection was shut down? I don't remember if there was a local or IR option for 1:1 trading.
Post game just do secret battles 3v3 against 3 level 100 Healing Wish Blisseys. 50 levels in 3-4 battles.

Yeah if you have two DS systems you can trade between them. Local trading doesn't run on WFC.
So when does Masuda appear on Pokemon Smash again?
I mean even if Pokemon Z isn't announced there, I miss the times on Smogon when we'd huddle around Pokemon Sunday streams and watch the fucking bizarre shit that happened there, it was like the perfect buildup to new announcements

Do pokemon in Pokemon Bank count towards your pokedex in X/Y/ORAS? Or do you have to transfer them back and forth to get credit? I think the time might be right to start working on completing a living dex again.
You'll have to move them into the game to get credit I'm pretty sure. I don't know if just moving them in and saving through bank is enough or if you have to load the game once, though. I'd recommend the latter since it's not much more time lol.
Just moving them in and out in Pokebank counts as pokemon being registered yes, that's what I've been doing lately for my living dex.
