The Pokemon Thread

Do you think we'll be playing X and Y for months to come? Because I'd love to trade and battle but I have classes that take precedence until mid-December.

I hope so.

On that note, I figured out finally why DPP/BW were a dip in my interest in Pokemon. For gens 1-3, my brother would play/battle/trade with me, so i had someone there to keep me engaged in the game and open up the multiplayer aspect. Since he didn't have a DS, he never played gens 4 and 5 (and became one of those people who pretended to hate Pokemon because "it's for kids" (but still asked me if you could make multiple save files in the most obvious way possible)), so I was practically on my own for those.

Is it wrong that I wish they created a new Pokemon that looked like Dr. Robotnik?

Yes, that is very wrong.
(Besides he's not Nintendo)

 

[Jags]

I was playing Gen 4 and 5 right up to the release of 6. I just never get bored of Pokemon.

The problem is that you have a 1:1366 chance to get a shiny with the Masuda Method every time an egg hatches. The odds don't change.
If you make 1366 eggs chances are you will end up with a shiny. But it's not guaranteed.

For a given X attempts at a 1-in-X probability, the chances of it never happening even once are roughly 1/e (36%).

I'll give it a few more boxes then pack it in. Anyway, i got a rhyhorn i need to trade then trade back to get the crap looking rhyperior, anyone help?

Once you get into stuff like breeding and EV training and perfecting your movesets Pokémon seems to get VERY time consuming :3

That is very true. But I don't really have anything better to do with my time unfortunately.

Also, I feel paranoid letting strong and rare pokemon out on Wonder Trade. Part of me says to keep them to myself, while the other part says to share the wealth.

Be wary of the mystery zone eggs.

I used to have quite a bit of fun with wonder trade...
What exactly are the consequences of having an egg like that, anyway?

I just looked into it and apparently, it'll spread through your boxes and party virtually destroying your game. They're unhatchable, unreleasable, untradeable and just plain nasty. I keep reading dfferent things, like it was a consequence of bad hacking or a glitch that's been in the game from the start. Basically someone got it over wonder trade so it would wise to exercise caution when trading online.

I think I'll stop myself until I find more info on the matter.

 

[Stratelier]

Well, the one verified case we have regarding XY has the following recent clarifications:
- Seems to spontaneously appear in the PC storage system, no hacks or trading involved
- Bad Egg always appears in the exact same location (row 4, column 4) of the PC box
- Overwrites any Pokemon that might have been placed in that spot of the Box
- If the Bad Egg is moved, another Bad Egg appears in the same location
- Occurs on both X and Y on the same 3DS
- Seems to persist using the same games on another 3DS

Things we know about Bad Eggs in general:
- Untradable
- Can't release/delete them
- Do not appear to hatch

The lack #2, (ability to release a Bad Egg) is the main problem in dealing with it.

 

[CaptainCool]

no hacks or trading involved

So it can happen to anyone and not just through wonder trade?

 

[Harbinger]

Anyone online for trades? need to evolve a scyther and rhyhorn.

 

[SirRob]

I'm gonna be online for a while, after my match I'd be happy to help you out.

 

[BRN]

Jesus, Rain, you have a frightening team.

I am now aware that Floatzels can learn Rape.

 

[Jags]

Damn that was close. Like, sphincter contracting close.

The best bit of luck I've had in a while was Garchomp missing.

 

[Teal]

I heard that the Bad Egg corrupts other pokemon in the same box (kinda like the Charizard M' glitch) making them unusable and/or deleted.

 

[Harbinger]

Whit helped me out, cheers man
I found out you can get multiple metal coats, seeing as among the yveltal wants in the GTS i saw a lot of scizors i figured i could get something decent, but now i cant find anyone wanting one -_-

Question Time:

What is the best intro song to the anime?

I'ma go with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb8lWlEqcgY

I know it sounds strange, but I'm really nostalgic for this song. DP was the height of the series for me.

 

[Judge Spear]

I have to be generic and seriously go with the original. I know it's strange, as much I can't stand the designs, games, or half the fanbase, I'm a MASSIVE Genwunner when it comes to the show. qwq

 

[SirRob]

It's not strange, I feel like a lot of effort was put in to try and make Pokemon appealing to a US audience. Ironically I think the quality of the US openings dropped when 4kids stopped working on the show.

I can usually never explain why that show was so amazing as a kid...
Even watching it on the old VHS I have on the old TV I watched it on, I still can't get that same joy I had watching it as a kid.

 

[SirRob]

I'm totally the opposite, I've gotten a higher appreciation for it than when I was a kid. It all has to do with people's tastes, I guess. They get more refined as you get older, or something.
