At least the GTS has better filters in place this time around. Also note that trade offers seem to be displayed in newest-first order; the farther down the list you go, the less likely you are to spot a useful trade because it's been lingering there too long. It's still quite an annoyance, though -- three generations and 90% of the offers on GTS are pure crap.

Oh hell yeah, I added a friend with a Dragon friend safari! They haven't completed the Pokemon league, so I only get Gabite and Noibat for now. But if anyone's interested in either, give me a shout. Especially since Garchomp's hidden ability is the only competitively legal one, in case anyone is concerned about that.

The restaurants in Lumiose City are the best for grinding and money (except the sushi one, that one is kind of a rip off)

I've only ever been to one resturante, sat at a table and ate some food, isnt that all you can do there?

You could be thinking of Cafés. In the restaurants you battle the waiters/waitresses consecutively, get money and experience, and you're given multiple items you can sell at the end of your meal.

Good money, but I don't like having to make my Pokemon fight each other to get the turns right =(
I'd rather repeat the League a few times. Man, the Champion music this time is intense. Call me pathetic but I get a little choked up when I hear it.

I've completed Super Training for my team. My stylus hand's sore now so it'd better be worth it.

The cafes are only good for getting some pokedex entry things. But Le Wow is probably the best restaurant in Lumiose City. It gives me around 200,000 every time.

Hamburger time.
Haven't played my copy much. Still creeped out by the cardboard cutouts challenging me.

Would anyone be interested in Vivillon trading? I have two 3DS systems and two games so I have the Archipelago and Modern.

Speaking of the GTS, it seems quite a few people have Groudons and Kyogres but most only want another legendary in return for it so I can't trade for any of them sadly enough. And some of them are shinies which I'm not entirely sure if that's legit or hacks. In which case if they are real, a lot of people have some pretty good luck.
And this discovery has motivated me to play Ruby again.

You're welcome! I like to help with stuff. Also I got a totodile today and I am just squealing like a little girl right now.

I had some serious luck finding shiny Pokemons on Ruby, I don't know why. I had about 3 before moving on to Pearl.
My first one was a Zubat, and at the time, I didn't know about shinies so I thought my game was broken. Good thing I caught it anyway (for science). My second was a Golbat. ...Maybe I'm not so lucky, thinking about it...

The only shiny I found in XY was a Bibarel. I named it Bidoof Mama... *sobs*

How many hours before you get that?
I heard the friend safari shortens the chance to 1/2000ish, not sure though. But i was talking with a friend i met battling the other day who had like 12 shinies, he said they were all from the friend safari.

Those odds are awesome compared to the standard ones, but I don't see myself wading through the Safari for that long just for a shiny. The way I see it, running into one randomly will make it that more precious (not that I've found one yet in X =P)
I will say this though, every single Charmeleon I caught in the safari (Thanks Distorted!) had at least one IV maxed. I don't know whether that's typical of the safari, but it was awesome.

That shiny bibarel was the first bibarel I found in the friend safari. And yes, all friend safari pokemon are guaranteed to have at least one perfect IV.

I believe you have to go visit Looker. He should be in an ally on the North side of Lumiose City. He'll send you on a mission to find tickets all over the city and I believe it starts after that.
Be ready though, because the pokemon battles go up lv 70 near the end of it all.

i believe that safari caught pokemon are guaranteed at least 2 perfect ivs. well at least all the pokemon i caught there have 2 or 3 perfect ones with a chance at their hidden abilities.
ive been lucky enough to get 2 shinies out of there. one luxio and one pancham.
now im trying my luck with aactually hatching a shiny. got a hold of a couple of foreign pokemon so hope my luck hasnt run out yet.
also, i got some growlithe rejects from iv breeding. all with 4 or 5 random ivs. adamant nature with either flash fire or intimidate. all of them have four egg moves (covet, close combat, double kick, morning sun). i need to make some space on my storgae boxes so i was thinking of releasing them. but if anyone wants one i can give em out. just hit me up.
