You're all so great! Thank you, GAF!

I'll never understand people who use all legendaries in a battle.

Stop playing Free Battle. Rated is what you want.

I like them, cause most of the time they don't know how to battle

I've had many gun battles using genie trio and pixie trio vs Uber Legendaries / Mythicals in triples. I've won most of those too, mainly because the person on the other side doesn't know what they're doing. Haha

 

[B-Dubs]

Stop playing Free Battle. Rated is what you want.

But it feels so good to 4-0 some dude using only legendaries.

 

[SeZMehK]

Looks like I got access to Cresent Isle. Time for cresselia Lol.

 

[Azuran]

I hate rated sometimes because I once had a great winning streak ended by a Talonflame that wiped my entire team because I didn't want to use my Tyranitar for one battle. /salty

 

[Hatchtag]

I don't either, and half my team is legendaries. Outside of Ubers, is there a single all-legendaries team that's any good? Usually you got to have a decent mix of legendaries and non-legendaries.

Just make a team of Talonflame counters. Azumarill/TTar/Aerodactyl/etc.

 

[PreyingShark]

But then you have to face people who aren't dumber than the Battle Maison AI and that's impossible!

 

[Dominator]

Well I'm dumb. Saved right before Kyogre and didn't bring any Ultra Balls. Can't catch him at all with Great's lol

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

I've learned I'm shit at rated battles all online battles, wait I always knew that...


Salty. I can't battle online.

Just KO it. If you KO it, it'll respawn after beating the Elite 4.

Try and gather perfect IV/EVed Pokemon?

Try using an online battle sim like Pokemon Showdown for practice.

Spoiler

These are allowed on gaf, right? Kind of a grey area on the piracy thing. Let me know.

 

[Macka]

I...I don't know how much more I can keep doing this. Ffs Raikou.

You need competitive Pokemon
Perfect IVs, beneficial nature, EV trained, good moves, items

You also need team diversification
Sweepers, stallers, tanks

Read threads and posts on Smogon

I know, but its just doesn't feel right to do that lol

I'm sure I'll catch it eventually.

 

[Firestorm]

Story-wise I'd say it makes more sense than catching it! You'll just unleash it back on the world!

Only for you to come back and capture it when it's least expecting!

Read this. I think you might get something out of it.

Do keep in mind that Pokemon's a hard game to get into. PvP is very, very different than facing the AI. You gotta get in there and battle until you aren't losing every single match. There's no substitute for just getting in there and making an ass of yourself.

 

[ivysaur12]

Praise Arceus.

Destiny Knot the first time I win the Master Contest. Yasssssss.

 

[one_kill]

Man, I hate SRing
I just want a shiny Zekrom and Reshiram

 

[Android18a]

For Kyogre, get yourself a few Quick balls from Fallarbour town. I caught Kyogre on the first ball as soon as the battle started. If you're still struggling get someone to O-Power you with Catching Power

 

[Muku]

I hear you. I have a long road ahead of me. x_x Watching some Six Sense right now while SRing... going to need another movie to queue up after this though.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Still going for my shiny starter...

 

[Wyndstryker]

Still going for my shiny starter...

Need a bigger altar to Tharja and maybe a sacrifice or two for it to happen.

 

[Muku]

Still going for my shiny starter...

Are you SRing at the start for that?

 

[lupinko]

I'm swapping a timid Xatu for a timid Abra, probably won't mean anything but meh for my sr shiny Latias sync.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Are you SRing at the start for that?

Yeah, it's important for my run.

Need a bigger altar to Tharja and maybe a sacrifice or two for it to happen.

Yeah, I wish I had candles or something.

 

[Rimon-hanit]

A site called Maxsoft currently holds a NA Eon ticket distribution:

[Muku]

Ah, good luck then! That's a special kind of torture that I don't want, haha.

 

[lupinko]

Which will come first for me, shiny Zapdos (LG) or shiny timid Latias (AS)? Lol

:/

 

[Muku]

My bet is on Zapdos. Latias is a real jerk. LOL

 

[Cute Dragon Here]

Am I the only person that goes "oh, a shiny?"

I don't seem to care about them for the most part.

 

[WrenchNinja]

You're not. It's neat yeah, but hours of soft resetting for them? Ehhhh.

Most shinies aren't that great.
Whimsicott though..

I'm like that now in RSE, Gen 4-5, but that's mainly because I can control that shiny RNG.

You're not. It's neat yeah, but hours of soft resetting for them? Ehhhh.

Shiny hunting is fun, it's a metagame in itself. If it wasn't you wouldn't see a bajillion shiny hunting videos on YouTube.

My bet is on Zapdos. Latias is a real jerk. LOL

I just want both. >>

 

[JoeM86]

Ok, I am now convinced that we won't be receiving a main game next year.

 

[Muku]

Shiny hunting is what I do to keep things fun. Considering I'd never even run into a shiny in wild or breeding until X/Y, it lit a fire under my rear to go hunting for them. Plus, I want legit shiny legendaries that ORAS will allow me to get with patience and time. Being the OT for it makes it all the more awesome.

Ok, I am now convinced that we won't be receiving a main game next year.

I wouldn't be surprised, but what makes you think that?

 

[Hatchtag]

Ok, I am now convinced that we won't be receiving a main game next year.

Why's that? But I can see why with the 20th anniversary in 2016 and all.

 

[Kiraly]

Am in the eShop right now, quick GAF: WHICH DO I BUY?

 

[Inferno313]

You don't think we get Z/XY2 next year?

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire!

 

[Hatchtag]

Guessing Hoopa is summer distribution because movies.

 

[higgsboson1997]

BTW, is GAF generally not that hot on handhelds? I always find 3DS related threads being way less popular than something to do with XBone/PS4/WiiU.

A lot of people on GAF love Vita/3DS. Pokemon X/Y is one of the biggest OTs ever IIRC

Ahh ok, I just thought that there was no one looking at the Bravely Second thread, and because this one is surprisingly slow-moving. Thanks!
