Resetting for legendaries is very painful. I eventually just gave up and had someone edit max IVs onto them.

You can seriously do that! Please tell me you know how... I've been resetting for each event across 3 games

Through a hacking device, I mean.

Yeah, I figured, so... do you know how

I don't have a hacking device, no; just traded them to peeps who do have one.

Aw well; at any rate, that would explain why random loser-noobs kick my a$$ with legendary teams

It's called a Powersaves, and you can do lots of things like hack event Pokémon (both legal and illegal), edit natures and IVs, release entire boxes at a time, change a Pokémon between Shiny and non-Shiny, and give yourself items. I've got one, but the only thing I used it for was 999 rare candies (but I've stopped doing that anyway).

Am I weird for abstaining from hacked Pokemon? I prefer to take what they give me and do the best I can with what I have. But then, I'm not a super hardcore player. I don't know anything about EV or IV, and my most advanced tactics involve involve having wipe type coverage so that when I identify my opponent's weakness, I can spam the crap out of it.

As for my team, Litten and Gardevoir are the only two I'm certain about. The rest I'll see what happened when it happens.

Nah, it's all down to personal preference. Besides, if you're not messing with EVs and IVs... there's not exactly any point.

Pokemon GO launches today. Seems they are timing it via region, starting in Australia, New Zealand and Japan and moving west.

The game will start with the original 150. Mew and any legendary they are determining how to implement, most likely through special milestone events. Likely we'll see the following generations starting next year so people have time to collect the 150 without feeling overwhelmed.

Kotaku also has the breakdown on the microtransations. I'll admit, that 20 pokeballs for 100 coins which costs 99 cents isn't too bad a deal there, though I am not a big fan of microtransactions to begin with. But we know people will buy them. But then they have to make money off this thing to make the money back and get more pokemon in the game. Seems there will be other ways to get items but the quickest way to stock up is forking over some cash.

Does the success of Pokemon Go prove that Nintendo would do better as a software only company?

No.

As I'm pretty sure Gamefreak developed the actual app... I'd say that statement makes no sense whatsoever

[Kurona]

So all the news we got yesterday about new Pokémon and Hyper Training and hosting our own Battle Competitions aside, I found an... interesting statistic.

Discounting the legendaries, Ditto, and Unown, but including Phione, 666 pokémon can be obtained as a result of breeding in Gen VI.

Developed and published by Niantic, actually.

Fair enough

But my point still stands that his statement makes no sense whatsoever

Lovin' Mudsdale, sounds like a beast with his ability 'Stamina', plus, he looks cool

Bewear and Wimpod are pretty pathetic though

Go to Mystery Gift and use the codes DARKRAI20 and 2016HOOPA and then get some free stuff. Then do that again for ever Gen6 game you have. You're welcome.

[Kurona]

In addition, select 'by wireless' rather than code to get another free thing.

[Autobot N]

And in addition to that, go look at Pokémon's YouTube channel.


HYPEHYPEHYPEHYPEHYPE.

I tried that, but it couldn't find anything. You sure you didn't mean "get via internet" for the free Keldeo?

Yeah I was being dumb lol

So a while ago, someone had put up a Shiny Mew on GTS. All they wanted in return was a Shuckle. I had one of those...but the deal reeked. By the time I decided "YOLO" it had already been traded. Last night, someone was offering another Shiny Mew, and they wanted a Darkrai. I have two of those and decided I wasn't even going to think about it this time...and then it turns out Pokemon from Mystery Gift can't be traded so why am I even bothering getting duplicates?

GTS needs some serious reworking. Not just that (Thanks for telling me I had the Pokemon they wanted and then not letting me make the trade) but also the system being flooded with people offering common things and wanting something huge in return. (That is a nice Ratata, I am not giving you Arceus for that) They need to make it so that you can only request a legendary if you're offering a Legendary. And for the sake of fairness, if you're offering a legendary, you can ask for whatever you want, from Ratata to Arceus and everything inbetween.

Agreed.

[Kurona]

Oh yeah, the GTS is terrible. Whole community's in agreeance over that. Hopefully Gen 7's will be better.

I can't get over how much Alolan Dugtrio looks like Hanson:

[Kurona]

I love it.

By the way, people have already datamined the Demo - so there's a bajillion spoilers on the internet right now, including the complete dex. Be warned and wary.

While I agree - there is a filter for that exact problem
