I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
I got Y today and Wonder Traded a Burmy for a Japanese Goomy.
I also played so long I didn't notice that the sun set.
This game is great.

So after I got the mega evolution ring, I did what any sensible person would do and named the Lucario "Son Goku". Then I went back into the cave to mess around with mega evolutions, and found a female Wobbuffet that literally wears lipstick.

It's all the little things that make up a grand experience.

Might be version-specific, but I do know that the reverse of this can happen. I remember seeing a screenshot of a bunch of Sevipers atomizing a Zangoose in a horde fight.

This is absolutely the case in the Y version, which is irritating because Zangoose is my favorite 'mon and I just want all these snakes to gently caress off and let me catch one.

Or you could do what I do and manually level a Noibat from level 1, evolve it, level it all the way to 70 and get Dragon Pulse. It's first Dragon-type attack.

I think it's probably a coupon for all boutiques, as I'm sure someone in gym 2 town mentions it or a discount as well.

No idea where it is or if it even exists though.

If I wanted Dragon Pulse, it would be easier to farm the luvdiscs on route 8 for heart scales to use on the move relearner with a pokemon that has Thief and can one-shot the fish.

Of course, I don't even have a noibat yet so it's a non-issue.

So Restaurant Le Wow's dining costs 100,000p, yeah?

All the pokemon are Lvl60+ in the battle - so don't try to do it as soon as you have the money - and you get 2000exp (unboosted) per battle win! My level 77 Blaziken became level 80 from playing through it once.

You get 35,000p for winning the courses. Your reward for finishing the dinner? 24 Balm Mushrooms, that sell in the pokemart for 150,000p. I'll try it with an Amulet Coin equipped tomorrow!

Suddenly the boutique is chump change. Crazy farming spot right here.

I fly to a town, then check my dex. If they are within 1 route, I go for it. Otherwise I just leave the town and fly back. I've ran into Articuno somewhere around 9 times.

Oh, it would absolutely be easier, I was just saying, I had no idea you could 'remember' it before it had actually first learnt it. I wish I had.

Speaking of Noibats, there seems to be enough want for them that I might start breeding a couple and throwing them out there.

Slapped an everstone on my male Pancham while breeding with my female pancham and had a 100 percent rate of the father's nature (Adamant) So I'm pretty sure either that's new or they've changed the way it works.

I only sent out three pokemon my first time, since I figured it worked like it did in the past. I was very pleasantly surprised when my opponent steamrolled me with his team of six.

Most people are under the mistaken assumption that battles are 3 on 3 because sometimes (I forget what rule it is) it is.

The fact 3 on 3 is a tourney default really doesn't help matters as it's sort of been ingrained into things.

Hasn't this been 100% since Gen 5? And with either gender as long as only one of the pokes is holding an everstone i believe.

I know it is now since i'm only getting one nature from my breeding project.

"...That too is according to my calculations."
Sorry if this has been asked to death, but beyond the light scattering of version exclusive Pokémon (I'm going by Serebii's listing, and have no idea how accurate it is) and the Mega forms of Charizard and Mewtwo, is there much in the way of version differences?

The aesthetic changes between Black and White were really cool, and it would be great if something similar was in this.
