Goddamn, gardevoir, take it easy with ditto. 5 eggs in 1 min?

 

[Firestorm]

Didn't know that, and here I thought Battle Maison cheated on me again.

I think players attempting Battle Maison should read this guide my friend wrote for Battle Subway in Gen 5 that can really help. You have to go into it with a whole different mindset. The Risk Management section is what is useful in particular

He currently has a streak of 252 in Super Doubles and over 300 in Super Triples so the man knows what he's talking about =P His Subway Super Doubles streak in BW2 was 919.

Just watched this video on Shiny chaining. Surprised I didn't even know about this in Gen IV. Feels odd trying to get a Shiny this way, but not getting a single Shiny in Gen II, III, IV, V, or VI so far sucks.

Does anyone know when I can find Banettes in the Pokemon Village? I set my 3DS clock to 10PM but found nothing in the dumpsters even after revisiting the Village a few times..

 

[Forkball]

Hard to believe this game has been out almost a month. And we still don't know what tipping does.

That's because it does nothing.

I just bought Pokemon Y - finally!

Breeding is driving me bonkers

Keep getting 31/31/31/x/31/31 Timid Eevee
I want 31/x/31/31/31/31

OR DOES IT?

This game actually has a ton of mysteries. What is the strange souvenier given to you by the guy who is not from any known region? What's up with the ghost in Lumiose City? What is the point of the scary house? Why is the Power Plant so massive but we can only access a small part of it? What's with the secret message in the train station? Why is the Cave of Emptiness so... empty? Some of these are possible teases for DLC, but some of it is just weird.

I tried to radar chain but mine kept breaking and I couldn't figure out why

 

[Kokonoe]

I tried to radar chain but mine kept breaking and I couldn't figure out why

Mine just broke for some reason and I don't understand it either. I had a good chain going a bit ago but I accidently hit the dumb bike on the macro. Doesn't help Absol has a low spawn rate.

The RNG gods hate you, lol.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

There's not enough good places to chain in this game.
It's like they deliberately took out expanses of grass to convenience us to not trudge through Pokemon to get to places.

Skrillex explaining chaining. Now I've seen it all.

 

[Kokonoe]

Chain keeps breaking at like 12 ;_;

I better stop myself while I'm ahead so I don't go nuts.

Get rid of whatever has attack. The perfect attack getting picked up is as random as everything else but seeing it over and over when you talk to the IV judge causes way too much grief

Seriously, I will never understand the people that farm for shinies. They're just way to rare to bother farming imo.

 

[Aytrial]

Closing in on a perfect Axew, so I'm making plans on what to breed next.

Is Moxie Gyarados a thing? I have access to a Friend Safari with them.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Goddamn at all these synchronise ralts.

Give me trace goddamnit.

Get 200 BP and buy the ability capsule lol

 

[Antiwhippy]

Get 200 BP and buy the ability capsule lol

Hell no.

That would take me what, 3 hours?

I'd rather just bike back and forth seeing that I'm just breeding now anyway.

 

[Dabookerman]

You're playing too slowly?

I got 85 hours on X
although thats probably nothing I bet haha

 

[teeny]

Finally hatched a 31/31/31/x/31/31 Adamant Heracross.

It has Swarm.

*sigh*

Anyone here have some good IV contrary inkay?

 

[Kokonoe]

Love Japanese players. <3

I put up something to get a Scizor with....a unique name let's just say that and it had Swarm. I put it up for any Scizor and I got traded a Scizor with Technician from a Japanese player. yay!

Not caring about shinies is the key to a sane pokemon experience.

Yeah, I'm just gonna go this route. lol

 

[Oswen]

I think i'm going to start breeding for an (almost) perfect Trevenant, not sure if i should go for a Rest+Natural Cure or Harvest+Berryspam one.

Decisions, decisions...

 

[Antiwhippy]

Harvest+berryspam is the most annoying and threatening set by far.

 

[Joqu]

Chain keeps breaking at like 12 ;_;

I hate chaining for shinies. I've attempted it so many times now but it ALWAYS fails in the end. ._.

 

[Oswen]

Harvest+berryspam is the most annoying and threatening set by far.

Thought so, i've seen some crazy matches with it.
Think i'll go with that one then.

 

[Antiwhippy]

That said, sleep+natural cure is more reliable.

 

[Tenck]

Just bred a Chansey with Calm Nature and Natural Cure. IVs are 31/x/31/31/31/31

TIME FOR SLEEP!!! Been too long of a night.

Favorite Gen VI 'mon: Greninja

This isn't even debatable. First starter final form since Blaziken that made me go "whoa", first starter since Blaziken with a downright stupid ability, first water starter I've picked and loved from the jump since Squirtle in OG Red, that beautiful movepool, and he's a fucking ninja. Case closed.

Favorite Mega: Mega Blaziken

The refined look (dem flaming knuckle tassles), new color scheme (the black patches are really nice) and that stance... Reminds me why Fire/Fighting was so hype until it happened three gens in a row. :lol

It also feels nice to finally like a character that comes in, turns on X-Factor for the speed boost buff, puts on swords and proceeds to late game sweep someone with Dive Kicks/BURN IN THE FLAMES.

For reference: P8JW-WWWW-WWW2-JZWE

I had a passerby challenge me to a match and didn't realize the rules were set to anything goes. Needless to say, I was not prepared. That is until based Ifrit gets to play.

 

[Tirael]

Why is it so hard to get a Trace Ralts? Does someone have a female one to spare? I'm getting tired of this (way more than) 80% chance for the female to pass down its ability. I don't care about IVs.

PM me please.
