Hot damn, your team has all the tools not just to gather momentum but also to disrupt the fuck out of the other team's.

If I'd known your team better, a specific build of mine might've countered you better, but... well, once again, I'm bloody impressed, Rob. Take this further!

 

[SirRob]

Spiritomb doesn't usually perform as well as it did. You need some special attackers on your team.

That's my point - I have a few, and should've brought a greater mix. I was hoping to play on Dark's generally lower Defensive stat, but I forgot the fact that Dark is also full of disruptive Pokémon. Not to mention, Jiao/Tyrantrum had a part to play that was totally neutered by that first-turn Dragon Pulse - I thought for sure you'd send in some kind of tank or set-up first and give me a chance to edge in...

Hrmf, that was a really fun battle. I'd like to toy with your team some more another time. :3

 

[SirRob]

If you came in expecting my dark team, why didn't you use your rock team?! [noparse][/noparse]

I sent out Hydreigon first because I was scared of Mega Mawile. Honestly I was expecting you to switch out to one of your fairies on the first turn... I was like %&$*! when I inputed Dragon Pulse.

 

[BRN]

If you came in expecting my dark team, why didn't you use your rock team?! [noparse][/noparse]

'cos I'm a cheap Quilly bastard.

I'm up for it if you want, though. Loggin' in. ;D

 

[SirRob]

Oh no, if you're using a different team, I'M using a different team! [noparse][/noparse]

 

[BRN]

|3 Try me.

Come at me with everything you've got, critter, that's how I like it.

 

[SirRob]

I already cum to you.

 

[SirRob]

You know, I didn't realize it, but I think I probably have the one thing that wrecks your team the worst.

 

[BRN]

Fuck me. That happened. x3 Steel sweep on my Rock team. Always was a problem, was terrified of Distorted for it.


It's a good thing your team was pretty much entirely made up of the sexiest possible 'mon. Even Queen Athena had a hard time. She normally saves my bacon, but that priority is terrifying.

 

[SirRob]

Yeah I really gotta wonder how Distorted lost when he's got access to things like Mega Mawile, Scizor, and Aegislash.

Edit: Dat Red Card. Not the best outcome.

 

[BRN]

Yeah, that Red Card... >_o. Man, Opelucid realllly wanted to be on the field.

 

[BRN]

You did not just kill me with a Manleon.

 

[SirRob]

Male Sylveon is the best Sylveon.

 

[BRN]

Thanks for the fun, dude! :3

 

[SirRob]

Yeah, nice to see rock get some love.
I mean, non-stealth rock, rock. GGs.

 

[Distorted]

Yeah I really gotta wonder how Distorted lost when he's got access to things like Mega Mawile, Scizor, and Aegislash.

Edit: Dat Red Card. Not the best outcome.

Hohoho! I thought it'd be unfair if I use those guys, so I used some alternatives instead. I mean it wasn't because I dropped the ball and didn't train the mons I originally wanted to use (even though I did use Aegislash and Mawile). That would be rather lame of me. :v

Though I will admit I was having trouble with their move sets. In an effort to be more defensive I wound up screwing myself over in the long run.

 

[SirRob]

"What happens to my Pokémon if the no-charge trial period ends or my paid pass expires when my Pokémon are still deposited in Pokémon Bank? Will my Pokémon be lost?"

"If your trial pass or annual pass expires and you do not purchase a new pass, you can still withdraw your Pokémon from Pokémon Bank for a set period of time. However, once that set period of time ends, any Pokémon remaining in your Pokémon Bank Boxes will be lost."

D: D: D:

Edit:

"If the Nintendo 3DS system that I downloaded and purchased Pokémon Bank for is lost, can I continue to use my previous Pokémon Bank from that lost Nintendo 3DS system on a different system in the Nintendo 3DS family?"

"Any inquiries regarding your system in the Nintendo 3DS family are handled by Nintendo. We cannot say how Nintendo will respond to these situations, but please reach out to them using the following contact information: [Link]"

THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER! D:<

These are MAJOR problems with the Pokebank. I was expecting guaranteed protection, but it's starting to sound MORE dangerous to be putting all your eggs in one basket like this.

I guess it didn't help that three out of your four matches were against super effective types, either... That's pretty much negating any defensive strategy you could've had.
I was lucky 'cause that never happened to me. No one decided to use Bug or Fairy.

 

[Harbinger]

Do you reckon it would be easy enough to swap and swap back ultra rares with the bank?
Shit like Mew and event only pokemon and crap like that, just to get the dex info.

 

[SirRob]

Only if you're trading between different copies of X or Y.

Rilvor if you're looking for a monotype battle, I'd be happy to have another match.

That . . . is a joke, right?

 

[SirRob]

You should check the official site...
...which actually just updated with some new official art!

 

[Stratelier]

Pokemon Bank has a separate official site, and they moved the FAQ there. It does state as quoted, though the amount of time between expiry and the bit bucket isn't made clear.

In other news: It appears they've issued a v1.2 update for Pokemon XY:
- Required to battle online
- More secure handling of in-battle game communication (e.g. counters Battle Analyzer)
- Fixes minor glitches with Trainer PR videos and Wonder Traded Pokemon

I'm guessing since the PokeBank is technically a third party entity, they can't really say what plan of action to use at this point. But that's actually what you're supposed to do though if you lose your 3DS. Call Nintendo and they'll try to help you as best they can because they kind of have all the information regarding actual systems.

This could possibly change too since it just went up today right?

 

[Misomie]

I started my nuzlocke. I'm playing as Mercury and I have Jetsam (Froakie), Buzz (Weedle), Kami (Fletchling), Rey (Litleo), and Kiku (Pidgey, except he's boxed). I almost lost Kami aready! She took a counter to the face and just survived with 1 HP! This is going to be tense!
