I was half-expecting a new Bread form for Rotom
Yep. It's dark Rye bread. It was very clever

Ha yeah it was, they shouldn't have revealed the answer so quickly so people could've had more fun with it

I think they had to because a couple of GAME stores jumped the gun

i don't care for the other options , but this :

GF should always make an option for hard mode
They hacked ORAS? Emulator only? Explain please.
yes and no
they hacked ORAS and modded the rom , only playable on hacked 3DS
some people only hacked the main character to use alternate skin or play as zinna or steven or the villains them self

LOL!
Oh and man these berries take forever to grow. I watered em a lot though so i'm hoping to get the max per berry tree.

Goddamnit, I don't know if I should keep my recent shiny Latias or not. It isn't perfect, but it has the right nature, 31IVs in two stats that I need, over 20 in another stat that I need, but the rest is meh.
Competitive-wise, it would only fit in the Maison judging by the other stats. Sigh.

That's the ultimate thing. If I get a shiny legend, do I continue on with it, or do I soft reset for something more viable.
Sophie's choice.

To make it worse (maybe?), this is the third time that I got this shiny Latias, the first two she had bad natures / wrong stats. At this point I feel like just getting this one and moving away, but that would be like cheating to myself.
Good lord. I'd have gone mad

I've had worse luck with shinies though, so I can't really complain.
If only I had 2 3DSes and 2 copies.

As long as the Pokemon you are breeding knows the egg move still (in one of its 4 move slots), then it'll pass it along to the kid. I think you can come into a bit of trouble when each parent knows more than 4 though. I tend to go to deleter if that's the case and remove egg moves from the parents I don't want to transfer.
These days it's pretty easy to find on GTS/WT Pokemon that have egg moves. Maybe not all you want, but it can be a starting point to breed them onto their kids. Though if you get some nice rejects they'll tend to have the egg moves you want. Then you go about working on its nature. It can be a long process, but it's worth it. I tend to find these days a lot of the egg moves are taken care of (or if not I breed the parents with ones that do to yield one I want) so it's easier to move on. But I'd recommend practice breeding up egg moves. If nothing else to help understand it better.
I dunno, I have 3 3ds and 6 copies and I'm nowhere on the shiny Latias front.

LOL.
I laugh because I'm not quite up there in terms of the stuff, and still no love either. Having more doesn't mean better chance though.Maintenance
Member
LOL.
I wasn't exactly talking about more chances, but I would be able to enjoy the game on one 3DS and farm on another. it would be less painful than just SRing.
Muku
Member
Difficult to enjoy playing the game if you're doing it at same time. Even though I have a couple, I tend to stick to playing/SRing on one main one.
Maintenance
Member
Hmm, true. But still, I could SR on one and do Maison battles on the other.
Goddamnit, I don't know if I should SR again. I'm afraid that I might get a dry spell and never meet a shiny Latias again for some time, while on the other hand I'm thinking that I should take advantage of my TSV/SID, since it is getting me this specific pokemon that I need in a regular basis.

I'd keep it, but that's just me.

I might do that, to be honest.
That's why I like breeding more and more recently, the chances of a fuck up are smaller, chances of getting what you want are higher, plus if it goes wrong you can redo it easily.
I'm always doing something else while SR'ing, like doing some work or surfing the net - I don't even look at the screen, I just listen for the shiny sound.
Maintenance
Member
I usually do other stuff too, but I miss actually playing Pokemon, haha.
Battling, breeding, anything but SRing or having to run away constantly.
Question - what are the exact odds of finding a shiny in X/Y/Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire with the Shiny Charm alone? I've been told that it's the equivalent of "rolling the die" two extra times, so if there's a 1/4096 chance of finding a shiny in the wild normally then that ought to bring the probability up to 1/1366, correct?
Maintenance
Member
I've heard similar numbers too.
Jeff Vader
Member
Oh yeah, my berry farm turned out well. I got 8 per tree so I have quite a few extra berries now.
Custap or Rowap? Still looking for those

I have both
What do you want in exchange? Got every other berry and almost every item.

Changed the clock since you used it due to DST or something? That'd do it. That kills all time based events until 24 hours after you load the save and have saved again
Happy birthday btw
True, but even with the shiny charm you're not guaranteed to hatch your shiny (or more importantly your IDEAL shiny) quickly. Just went off on a big breeding project for a shiny competitive Zubat with it's HA Infiltrator. It took 1,581 eggs... ughh.
I later did the math and came out with that with that many eggs hatched, there was a 95.5% probability of at least ONE egg being shiny. FML
