The Team Flare Boss theme song is really cool.

Sure. Could I get a Rattled female? I have Trapinch, Corphish with Aqua Jet and Superpower, and a whole bunch of 4 IV Beldums.

Are there any plans for a for fun GAF tourney?
Are your Trapinch in Luxury Balls? If not then I'll take a Beldum. FC is in my profile. What's your trainer name?
Speaking of how do people feel about Metagross this gen? Steel losing Immunities to ghost and dark must have hit it hard but it did gain a resistance to fairy.
We really should do one, I think we only ever had a doubles tourney, which was held too early IMO.

I really hope they change the breeding mechanics in the next game so that the Ability gets passed down with the Everstone as well. At least for normal abilities anyway. It happens way too often when I get good IVs and the Ability Capsule isn't worth it.

My Trapinch are all in Luxury Balls. No egg moves though.

Not a Problem, this can be fixed later. So, when can you trade? I'm ready now if you are.

Thanks for the Trapinch!

There was a singles tourney back when gen 4 hit, and it was a blast. I do remember that doubles tourney though, but I didn't get to participate.
It will be much easier organizing a tournament when there's only two people per match, instead of four. Plus Holidays should be coming soon so if we act fast it should be manageable.

Could anyone lend me a Forretress? None of my Friend Safaris have it and the GTS is absolute pigslop as usual.
I have some Pineco's with Stealth Rock and 0 Speed IV's in Luxury or Premier Balls. I'll add you in a sec.
edit: Wait, they're in Timer Balls. I thought they looked cool and fit Forretress' look. I'll give you a male if you don't want that.

I would actually love a male, thanks. I'm trying to breed Spikes onto a Snorunt and the process is arduous >_<

Thanks for the Pineco! Enjoy your Scraggy!

I really wish ExtremeSpeed Linoone wasn't so hard to obtain. It has so much potential for shenanigans with Belly Drum...

Yes. There were two major issues there:
1) Peeps weren't aware a Losers Bracket existed.
2) Flaking partners.
#2 wouldn't be an issue by default. To solve #1 you'll want to do a format that doesn't do double elim right off the bat.
That leaves... Single Elim -> Double Elim, Swiss, and Scramble I think?
I know, once pokebank opens I'm willing to give anything for one.

Just a thought: if Ice ever became a defensively viable type, boy would Hail be broken. They should go all out and make Hail provide a 1.5x defense buff to mirror Sandstorm's 1.5 special defense buff, too.
Also, just an idea, but it'd be interesting to see a metagame where the weather rocks (Damp Rock for Rain, etc.) caused ability-based weather activation to be permanent as was the case with Gen V and prior, in addition to having the weather last longer when activated via a move.

This is one of the reasons I want to see that reverse weakness battle type as a real metagame.
Nice!! Is this in the battle masion?

From what I've heard, it sounds a lot like BW's extremely fast, offensively-oriented metagame combined with RBY's lack of "preparation," for lack of a better word. Normal is basically Gen I Psychic having perfect coverage, Psychic is basically the new Dragon-type (its only weaknesses are itself and Fighting, a type which has poor defensive coverage in the inverse-metagame much like the Dragon / Ice relationship), and so on and so forth.
I think Ice is closer to becoming defensively viable then you'd think, though - all it takes is flipping a few switches and adding in some Ice-types that are actually effective beyond your traditional Mamoswine and Ice could be in business. Hell, even Avalugg takes the weaknesses of Ice and runs with them (Sturdy to counter physical powerhouses and Mirror Coat to counter special ones, where higher special damage is actually a bonus).
Here's a shameless pimping of my original hotfix.

That's one pokemon I'm waiting on. Trying to build up some trade-worthy pokemon to get all those pokemon I cannot obtain because I haven't played any of the previous games.
The moment the bank opens, I'll be on the hunt for Iron Fist Chimchars. As soon as I get one, I'll be breeding it so if you don't have one by the time I'm done, you can have one.

Defiant doesn't activate on self-induced stat drops.

Opponent uses Sticky Web, free +2 Aqua Jets.
Though didn't Japan only receive the HA starters?
Edit: Guess they didn't. Wonder if I have a code...
That would be great, thanks. If I don't get one by then I'll probably have something worth trading for it, so I won't leave you empty handed
So having never played a Pokémon game since the first one on Gameboy, I wasn't sure what to expect but I think fans of the series are looking through rose coloured glasses a little if they are giving it 9's or 10s out of 10.
While I'm enjoying it, the fact there is no minimap is absurd. There is the map that your Mum gives you but all it is is a few dots to show you basically where you are in the world.
I made my way to the big city, maybe 2-2.5 hours in and got lost. I had no way of telling which shops I have been into, or where the next objective was. I had to wander around until the dancing kid hit me up with a holo-message.
Also the movement is a bit indirect. When trying to get into the narrow hedge maze I had to keep adjusting to try and fit in which sucked because i was standing in bushes which prompted about 3 fights before I got in.

I don't think a lack of map system in Lumiose city warrants any kind of major point deduction. They have the cabs in the city as an instant place to get anywhere. It's pretty obvious the city was designed to confuse the player and have them get lost.
I've played every Pokemon generation, but after gen three the games never held me until the end, X and Y were finally able to do that. 175 hours and no end in sight for me. Love it.

I'm going with a similar strategy. The moment the 25th hits in Japan I'll be on a hunt for Oshawott.
I hate to disappoint you, but I don't think Iron Fist Chimchar has been released yet in any game.

I checked and Wal Mart copies of Black 2 White 2 had a code for an HA Sinnoh starter of your choosing.
The Gen 4 starters with their hidden abilities were released in Japan and Korea. They might not be common for a while after the bank opens, but after some time they shouldn't be too hard to find. I have some 6 IV Pokemon and shinies I'd be willing to give for one, and once I've breed a lot, I'll spread the love here.
I believe the only starters whose hidden abilities haven't been released are Jothto's.
Really!? I wish I had known this.
Oh, I didn't know that. That's pretty cool.

I didn't know either until today. Too bad I got the game before the promotion started and from Best Buy.

I'm gonna try my luck and put Dittos up on JP release date!
There seem to be two legal ones floating around at least:
https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=3585334
https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=2996128
There are five others on Pokecheck but they're either hacked (click Show Legality Checker) or bad IVs / nature.

Any chances of them having Dragon Dance as egg move? If so, I would like to ask for a female with swift swim as well.
