Thank you! Consider that my thanks!
Thanks for letting me clone it. My friends been wanting a Shiny Carbink, so you helped him out big time.
Can I have one too?
Hey dudes I haven't posted here in a while but I wanted to give you guys a heads up that the Giant Bomb forum is having a little tournament and you are all more than welcome to join. The skill level of people is pretty well mixed so by all means don't be discouraged from joining. For example, I am just using a team of Pokemon I like (that aren't necessarily good) including a Delphox and a Pikachu so you should be fine with whatever team you put together. The rules are pretty flexible, the people there are pretty cool and no one really exploits any OP stuff although there is no actual rule against it.

If you want to see some of the matches and get a feel for the play style of the duders over there from our last tournament just go through this thread and watch some of replay codes posted.

Yeah, in fact, Pokemon Bank makes it quite easy. Instead of being limited in funds and PokeBalls at the beginning of the game, hatch all the Pokemon you want and put them online. Start your new game and transfer them back to your boxes. No catching/trading with others required. There are catches to this process. You lose your Game Sync ID for the PGL, any and all items are lost (they can't be stored in bank) and you probably lose Friend Safari information. There may be more drawbacks than I can think of here.

Trying to help folks out, bypassers and all, on GTS, but I'll be damned if GameFreak didn't make this the most frustrating thing ever. If other person didn't plan ahead and name Pokemon with questions of Pokemon they're looking for, they're SOL. I'm not trading good Pokemon for shit Pokemon and I'd love to give a frown like before. I know it won't get fixed for this, but man... really hope they get their act together and get a decent online system together to communicate with other person. Still don't see how we moved backwards.

I love when people find out that loading your team up with Legendaries means nothing if you have no skill.
He doesn't know how to play lol
But, apart from the glaring weakness to ice and grass, his team taken at face value isn't bad.
I beat one of these guys too, with Bisharp.
Sword Dance + Sucker Punch is god tier against noobs.

Do you have a spare Bisharp with Sucker Punch? I could give you a 5 IV Modest Piplup.

Unfortunately no
I RNG'd mine in BW, so I have no leftovers.
Does it have Stealth Rock? Could you breed one for me I dont care about the IV or nature.
After checking out Global Link, I was shocked...
I guess my country doesn't like Pokemon at all.
It's interesting how the top couple of hundred players are all Japanese. I scrolled through quite a few pages of the global rankings without seeing a single non-JPN player.
Nope, not Stealth rock but I can breed you one. Now I'm a bit busy but later this evening. I'll PM you when it's ready.

So I did an experiment with Dark Void Smeargles. Asked for Doublade. Why that? Well it is not found in the wild but is still popular so I wanted to see what I would get. The results:
-A level 61 Kalos Champion
-A level 81 one with false swipe, you can guess its former life (maybe the owner discovered catching power level 3+quick balls)
^These two were what I expected, basically spring cleaning. The rest were a surprise that should not have been one:
-4 level 30-ish Doublade, 2 with lucky eggs, 2 rare candied up to the required level (all had very few EVs suggest few/no battles to reach these goals).
In other words these people saw my offer and scrambled to get a Doublade ASAP, the lucky egg ones did not even take the time to open the menu and remove the item; that is how quickly they felt the offer would vanish (I can't get a good finger on when the offers actually vanished, unless the PGL GTS timeline says when the offer happened and not when I logged in...) but if this kind of offer did vanish that quickly lucky egg is not a fast enough method anyway...
It also makes me wonder if there are now a group of people stuck with Doublades they don't really want now...
*-the total is 400% for moves. Some moves are clearly options with the same purpose (e.g. Rock slide vs. Stone Edge), others not so...

Next time maybe I should ask for level 91+ Honedge and get trolled by receiving level 100s who I can then throw terrible TMs onto and wonder trade.
I know what it is to get a shiny when randomly breeding too. Mine was a 1IV, non-HA Volbeat (if it had the HA; Prankster it could have some novelty, the Shiny is easy to notice too) to get Scyther Baton pass and IVs (Meinifoo was my best IVs), ah pre-Ditto safari and pre-God Ditto breeding.
Comments in bold. I'm terrible at competitive battling though (I'm okay at individual sets but fall apart in making an effective team). For reference the PGL battle stats site is good to see what others do (process the information though as you see many Pokemon don't have a consensus on moveset*) but doing the same thing can be boring to play as or against.

Thanks.
Talonflame learns Tailwind by level up as well, so not having egg moves isn't a big loss.
They do have some amazing tactics whenever I encounter them. I found a way to play around all of the top used Pokemon but most of those highly ranked players don't even use them. Yesterday, I fought a dude with a rating with the 1800's who used Ferrothorn, Mega Heracross and Chandelure. He would be rated second on the American leaderboards and he doesn't even use any of the 'OP' Pokemon.
The next Pokémon game won't be out for at least a year.
How's the postgame in X/Y? Does it feel unfinished at all?

There is none. Unless you enjoy online play, there's pretty much nothing to do.
I've hatched two shinies lately - a shiny Noibat on the 1,707th egg, and a shiny Inkay on the 69th egg.
I've moved on to hatching Protean Froakies, and am trying to hatch a 6 IV Protean female. I have a 6 IV Protean male in the day care now with my RNG'd, Japanese 6 IV Ditto, but no 6 IV female Protean Froakie yet.
That's after 625 eggs.
Frustrating to get maybe one female every ten eggs and a little over half the time be Protean. Then I get excited it's THE female, check the stats and see that she's missing one 31 IV.
I'd love a shiny Froakie to hatch with Protean as its ability, and as of now I'm hatching Proteans at about a 60% rate, but I'd love to not stress as much because I've hatched a 6 IV female Protean Froakie.
I hate being a perfectionist.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. You have the Battle Maison, searching for the Mega Stones, a couple of legendaries, the Looker side-story... But yeah, X/Y's postgame isn't great by Pokémon standards. There's only one new location that opens up in the postgame, unlike past games that had several.
X/Y's postgame is about the same as (the original) Red/Blue/Yellow and Ruby/Sapphire's.

Congrats on the shiny Pokemon! That's dedication.
I'd say you're getting a pretty high hatch rate for a male Protean. But this is exactly why we need GenderCapsules in Z.
In Ruby and Sapphire the legendaries at least felt decently hidden so you could be hunting down Rayquaza and the Regis in the post-game. But yeah, X/Y postgame is seriously barren. I figure that's why getting the mega-stones is so obtuse, just to buff it up a bit.
Also, why are so many people expecting a Z version when B2/W2 happened? I'd be surprised if we regressed back to the old "third version" system, considering those have been getting progressively more content rich each gen.
I think it's probably because Z sounds like a cool title. I was always dubious about them putting about a game called "Gray" because it sounds so drab.
Then again, two games would make them more money. Maybe it'll be Z Red and Z Blue or something.

Then there's the Friend Safari. Completing a living National Dex was my post-game.
I don't know that people actually expect one "Z" instead of "X2/Y2", for me it's just easier to say than "in the next Pokemon game(s) this generation or next."
