Nice! Did you do this with Wonder Trade? It's a great idea if so. I'll definitely try something similar.

I just got a Sigilyph from Wonder Trade. Its name was the letter H 12 times.
Groinsaw, anyone
This was probably the first Pokemon I've played where my starter has been the most useless on my team haha. All my other monsters were bred and raised specifically while he was just... there haha.
The revamped site is pretty cool. Last time I'll have that many starters on my playthrough team though, I usually never put any starters on any of my actual battling teams (except Feraligatr).

Just wonder traded an Eneko and got a Rotom. Traded it for a Larvesta via GTS. Yes!

LOL Antiwhippy, I wasn't prepared for that match raising three weaklings in my team, yet I still feel super cheap winning with Xerneas
.
Nah that's fine, half of the reason I was searching for a fight anyway was to heal my team.
Fuck the terminus caves. 3 dead and 2 poisoned deep in the cave is no joke.

So I found a German Ralts through Wonder Trade. Over 10 hatches later, still no shiny.
Masuda Method plz.

Is it bad or frown upon to have starters on your line up?
Try 210 hatches and still nothing. You got a ways to go lad.
Do you have any spare Calm Togepis?

Nah man, do what you want. Anyone who says you "should" do this or that for your team (especially if it's just a story playthrough) is insane. For me personally I just like having non-starters on my battling teams, this pic is from the HoF though so it was just my story playthrough.

Not at all, competitively most of them are just not that good. Only a few starters(most notably Blaziken) are good enough to be used in high level competitive play. You can use whatever you want though.
Only pokemon that are frowned upon are the powerful Legendaries(so not Zapdos, Entei, etc.) like Mewtwo, Kyogre, Rayquaza, etc.

I have some really bad news if you expect a shiny with around 10 hatches..
In that case...
Yeah, even though my starter was rubbish compared to the rest of my lineup I felt like he needed to be there for story purposes haha.
You'll have one eventually. Just 1355 more times to go.

Oh ok.. I was like man... I guess I'm a scrub.
But it does make sense since it's just the story.
Could you save me that Calm/Serene Grace Toegpi for later?

So how you show off your shiny Girantina?
That's ok. I'll probably breed it a couple times anyways. I have to go to class soon, so I'll pm you when I'm ready.
For the storyline which Pokemons are irrelevant
Only legendaries in competitive play are frowned upon
Yeah. Every day at 12:00 am

LOL You can use them, just not in a tryhard match ;P

You show each other Pokemon through a really badly designed system where you can see their boxes (but not the pokemon inside).
For example once you offer something there is no way to back out unless they straight up stop trading with you. If you on the other hand want to stop trading the system lags for about a minute showing them scrolling through their boxes and Pokemon.
A confirm then final confirm system (like later PSO releases) and some simple chat (it is funny how PSO had a word select system* and come to think of it Pokemon Gen III**) and a decline option would make it work more smoothly.
*-You could build simple sentences form built in words/phrases and these would be translated into the language the other player was using. Come to think of it the PSS profile survey operates in a similar way.

So that special torchis that I got over the gift give away, I should definitely train it? Cuz I was all like man fuck the chicken, I rather have the dragon.
Gentle Rodriguez

You should train the Pokemon you want to train. Blaziken with Speed Boost is a broken Pokemon though, even without the Mega form.

Just hatching stuff before heading to work so I have time. In-game name is Darren, what's yours?

Where do you guys get the Hall of Fame pics from?
Awesome, thanks! If you could use something Y-exclusive just for the ol' Pokedex that'd be awesome. Appreciate it either way!
Seems like all the stores. I was pretty disappointed by the options thus far, but this at least makes it more interesting. Guys have minimal options compared to the ladies though.
I super trained after the 8th gym. My lucario is a speed demon now.

I kinda feel I don't want to flood my game too much when the Poke Transfer goes live, so what I'll do is spend some time making a couple of boxes of just the things I want. Legendaries that XY doesn't have, level 1 freshly hatched versions of all the starters throughout the years and anything a little unique and special (like my Espeon and Umbreon that I got at the beginning of Colosseum).

Don't need anything special. My in-game name is Darren, is yours the Owen that just popped up on my screen?
