I'm still around home boy. Re-check my friend code, I gave out the wrong one last night in a drunken haze.

See you online.

Shiny Ponyta I'm so happy!

Shiny ponyta is so awesome. A shame it loses the bright blue when it evolves though.

EDIT: Holy shit at the nonsense going on in Pokemon Black/White thread. :lol :lol

Edit2: Lyre locked the thread with a picture of my nightmares.

I told you guys, I knew that thread was headed for a shit storm. Also, just in case anyone here missed it:

Lyre, what have you done..WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? :lol

The first two gens are compatible with one another. The last two gens are compatible with one another. The first two are completely incompatible with the last two.

So no trading from Gold to Ruby?

But I can take my ruby team to Platinum right? And then in a couple of years to heartgold?

 

[Mafro]

Is there a Pokemon that can learn flash, whirlpool and surf?

HMs are really taking the piss now.

You can transfer them straight from any 3rd generation game to any DS game, so from Ruby to Heart Gold.

Chinchou can.

Excellent, thanks.

But if I transfer from ruby to diamond, i can later send them to heartgold? Or are GBA pokemon locked to the first DS game you send them to?

 

[upandaway]

You can transfer freely, but you need 2 DSs to transfer between two DS games, and one DS to transfer between a GBA game and a DS game.

WHY WOULD BRING THAT OVER HERE DAMN YOU

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

So I caught a Heracross. Female though (i.e. no good for breeding moves onto other pokemon) and has a weird nature (+Def, -Spd), so I've started breeding. How long does it take to hatch a Heracross egg?

Also, Psyduck is the best HM slave ever.

 

[Minister of the Dog]

Reading about batteries dying made me turn on my old GBC with my Pokémon Silver plugged in, and it still has all my data. Is there any way to replace the batery without losing the savegame? There's a completed Pokédex in there =(

According to Bulbapedia, it takes 6.630 steps for it to hatch (though it's only 3.315 if you have a Magby/Magmar in your party).

You'd need to hotswap the battery. It's possible, but it's tricky even with specialised tools for the job.

 

[Kinitari]

My last attempt at this went badly (I fell asleep before I got a chance to really get in touch with any Gaffers) so I'll try again.

Please GAF, spoil me with your pokemon! My pokemon are all pretty low still, and I want to accumulate as many pity-pokemons as possible. Any eggs or babies you do not want anymore, do not discard them! Give them to me! If you have any starters just kicking around your boxes, and have nothing to do with them, I will give them a good home. And in return, I will give you as many randomly useless pokemon as you desire.

0904 5378 5615

You know you want to.

 

[ryan-ts]

So I started my new file and 30 minutes in I decided to save, turns out I have to delete all the data from the intro screen beforehand to save it. Son of a gun.

Cool! Adding you right now ^^.

My friend and I did it by carving the back around the screw with a knife so there's a big chunk missing. Then we ripped the battery out and put the new one in its place only to discover the connectors wouldn't attach to the new battery so we bought a mini blow torch then welded it on and by some miracle it worked!

I haven't found any info on that, but anyway, I think my savegame is doomed then. Maybe if someday I have nothing better to do I'll transfer all my pokes back and forth as I just replace the old batteries. Thanks for the info though

Oh snap, I'll add you too. Sucks I cant add friends while waiting in the wifi room. Quick question, do I have to have the pokemon I want to trade ON me when I am in the wifi room?

 

[Nayishiki]

Cool! Adding you right now ^^.

Ok I'm online. I could give you the other 6 after this trade if you want.

 

[Hatchet Man]

Anyone up for a battle? FC is 0216-6673-7623

 

[Kinitari]

If you want! That's cool with me, just realized I probably have to have the pokemon up for trade in my roster, so give me a sec =p

 

[Jokey665]

I will be as soon as I finish this E4 run... which might be a little bit because I just beat Will and saved, so I can't just go back and I have like the whole thing to go lol...

 

[Minister of the Dog]

Yeah, you gotta have the pokes you want to trade with you when you enter the wifi room.

My friend and I did it by carving the back around the screw with a knife so there's a big chunk missing. Then we ripped the battery out and put the new one in its place only to discover the connectors wouldn't attach to the new battery so we bought a mini blow torch then welded it on and by some miracle it worked!

Sorry, I have trouble understanding this. Do you mean that you just replaced the battery and your savegame survived, or was there something else you did?

 

[Nayishiki]

If you want! That's cool with me, just realized I probably have to have the pokemon up for trade in my roster, so give me a sec =p

Ok I'll do it, I'm currently waiting in the Wi-Fi club with Squirtle,Bulbasaur,Treecko,Torchic,Mudkip and Piplup.

 

[Kinitari]

I forgot how long trading takes, goddamn, sorry Nay and Dog! This is going to end up being like 20minutes out of your lives.

 

[ryan-ts]

Oh no, there was some other weird tech stuff I didn't understand that my friend was messing with. I just posted the part I understood and thought was awesome.

I am trading Pokémon on Sunday at 1AM, so big deal :lol

 

[ThatObviousUser]

You're welcome Minister!

Mafro, I'd say go with Ampharos. (I play the TCG and he's so cool in the new expansion )

Aww come on, the latest (?) Raichu card is really cool:

Just running along the beach without a care in the world. I don't play the TCG and haven't bought a pack in years, but when I saw this in the checkout a few weeks ago I just had to pick it up.

 

[pirata]

I really wish that they would make a new TCG game for 3DS. That would be so cool.

[GaimeGuy]

I have the worst fucking luck with regards to ditto IVs.

The other day I caught one with all IVs of 0.

I just now caught one with IVs of 2, 6, 7, 1, 9, 4 D:

 

[Hatchet Man]

GG Jokey.

 

[Jokey665]

GG Hatchet, even though that battle was pretty shady. Hypnosis missed every time I used it, you crit with 1/3 of your attacks, and Zapdos was paralyzed every turn except for two...

 

[Hatchet Man]

GG Hatchet, even though that battle was pretty shady. Hypnosis missed every time I used it, you crit with 1/3 of your attacks, and Zapdos was paralyzed every turn except for two...

Yeah, that battle was pretty luck based when it came to my crits and Zapdos' paralysis. Hypnosis has a 60% hit rate so that didn't really surprise me when it missed.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Yeah, but I used it twice... it should have hit at least once.

 

[Jokey665]

Sure, my FC is a few posts up.

 

[Hatchet Man]

Yeah, but I used it twice... it should have hit at least once.

Unfortunately odds don't work that way and it could be worse I was in a match once where Hydro Pump with it's 85% hit rate missed 3 times in a row.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Same reason I'm sticking with Discharge (as opposed to Thunder) on my Ampharos until I save up enough coins to be able to afford a Thunderbolt TM. Thunder fails way too often for me to feel comfortable with. I had Gengar miss with Thunder four times during a gym battle.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Yeah, but I used it twice... it should have hit at least once.

With a 40% chance of missing, the odds of missing two times in two turns is 40% * 40% = 16%

 

[Sammy Samusu]

What? I can change my Pokémons while online? :lol

:'(

Thunder sucks but if you have a good solid water type on your team and it uses Rain Dance, it'll have 100% accuracy.

 

[Minister of the Dog]

You can even teach it to many electric pokémon using TM18.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Yeah, but it's only useful to them for setting up Thunder. If you have some water types on your team I guess it wouldn't matter though.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Wow, nice Breloom strategy.

Are you witnessing the power of my HM slave? :lol
