So as someone who didn't really watch much of the Crystal run, how exactly did we get Pokemon to typically evolve? Was it mostly through pure luck or abusing Democracy mode?
Stream lag+people getting bored+democracy level ups.

I thought he was taught Dig, which is why I was talking about it
So according to Bulbapedia Abra learns absolutely nothing until it evolves into Kadabra. Meaning it's a lost cause. #KillAbra
What gave you that idea? We don't even have Dig.

Teleport. It does the same thing outside of battle.
You do need an extra pokéball, and a free space in your party, to get Shedinja when Nincada evolves to Ninjask. Yes, even in Gen III. Bulbapedia says otherwise but they are in error.
From the Sapphire Pokédex:
"It seems to appear unsought in a POKé BALL after a NINCADA evolves."
From FR/LG Pokédex (games came out during Gen III):
"A most peculiar POKéMON that somehow appears in a POKé BALL when a NINCADA evolves"
Also, I have the Prima Strategy Guide, that I bought the day Emerald came out (before Gen IV even existed), and it also states there must be a spare pokéball to obtain Shedinja.

I'm loving the lore behind Emerald, but boy is this a slog. Only 17k people? Step it up, guys.

Get rid of Fap Junkie.
I think it says "appears in a Poke Ball" just to not have questions like "ok, now I have two pokemons but why I have it without having catched it?Doesnt it need to be in a pokeball?" because its is already in one.

Going with Serebii.net Gen 3 doesn't require a pokeball. And they separate all pokedexs by generation.
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-rs/292.shtml (Gen 3)
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/292.shtml (Gen 4)
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-bw/292.shtml (Gen 5)
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/292.shtml (Gen 6)
And reading from other sites on the net, in Gen 3 Shedinja comes with his own pokeball, other gens you need an actual pokeball in the inventory (not great ball, etc)
Ok, I did just try it out on my cart of Emerald, and Bulbapedia is correct, you do not need a pokéball (I can admit when I am wrong). Apparently the game "clones" whatever ball you caught Nincada in, to be the home for your Shedinja. I caught a Nincada with a Master Ball lol (reset afterwards), and after evolution, during which I had no pokéballs of any kind, both my newly-evolved Ninjask and Shedninja were in Master Balls.

So basically as long as we got space (which WILL happen given how we have no pokeballs) we're going to get a freebie pokemon if Nincada can ever evolve.
I hope we do get a Shedinja. It could be completely clutch in some situations, and comically inept in others. Either way, it will be entertaining. A Ninjask is a pretty good pokemon to have too. It's just too bad our Nincada, while a ground type, doesn't actually learn any ground attacks until level 31, and that's only if he doesn't evolve. A ground attack would be super effective against Geodude.
Just being able to attrition out against Roxanne's team should be enough.
Poochyena is our best bet.
It should speed up after they've gained a few levels and don't die as easily. Once we're not spending 80% of our time trying to heal we'll get them levelled up in no time.

I want to be there when we defeat Roxanne =)
We put Torchic in a slot higher than Poochy. Grinding for bite just got a lot harder.

Stabbing like that doesn't work on rock pokemon! Stop copying your trainer's psychotic tendancies!

It's a shame Nincada doesn't have a nickname. Is Ninjask good in battle?

It's hard to stab rock, no wonder our serial killer is having a hard time.

Decent. If we could get baton pass on him it would be awesome.
Shedinja on the other hand will be a whole barrel of fun

looks like we have to wait for Australia for progress to be made.
Can't believe they caught an Abra.

We should get that extra pokeball from Torchic and catch a Marill
Huge power + special attacks could be a decent mixed attacking pokemon

It's Speed stat is ludicrous, especially since it increases with ever turn. However it doesn't really have any moves to make this worthwhile, plus it's dreaded Bug/Flying type combo. It has terrible defensive stats too.

how big are the chances that we accidentally switch the order of torchics attacks and put ember on the top position?
