I am assuming that there is no way to get more than 7 boxes until the Pokebank service comes out? I am starting to fill my 5rh box, and there is still tons of catching and breeding to do even before taking into account the friend safari.

I have 15 boxes, though I have no idea what triggered it. In BW2 it was putting at least 1 pokemon in each box you had, but I'm not sure if that did the trick this time or not.

It's been a long time since I used the Gen 4 radar, so perhaps I'm just forgetting some unpleasant aspects of it, but I sure as poo poo don't remember it cutting off chains at 1 or 2 for no discernible reason/generating patches of shaking grass with nothing in them that cut off the chain/doing loving nothing when activated now and then. Did it do all that back in the day, or did Game Freak decide it needed to be made worse for some bizarre reason?

My Tyrunt is Relatively Superior and apparently has some fantastic stats. Is there any place with info on what all he says means? I'm assuming my Tyrunt is pretty decent at least with those lines.

I can't say for certain, but he said "This Pokemon has relatively superior potential overall. That's how I judge it, anyway. Incidentally, I would say that its greatest potential lies in its HP. But its Attack stat is good, too. Although its Sp. Atk stat is equally good. Stats like those... They simply can't be beat! That's how I judge it."

e: Bulbapedia's Gen V Coverage seems to be pretty on.

Crime sucks.
Gotta say I really appreciate how the lower screen EV training maxes you at 252, not 255, per stat.

I used a newborn Helioptile and killed a Krokorok and a Dragonite, then maxed out my SpA and Spe with the punch bags, and I wasn't maxed out total; ran an HP course and got given 2 points out of 8 and finally maxed.

Also does anyone have a list yet of berry crossbreedings? I've only found one yet and want to find more faster.

It's the little things that makes this game so god drat beautiful.

Like catching a pikachu in the first forest out of your town, or an ursaring on victory road. Honestly, this is the most fun I've had in a Pokemon game since I started playing them as a kid and that's saying a lot.

By the looks of it the new rules are hidden abilities are passed down if either parent has theirs regardless of whether it's an Imposter Ditto or what have you.

I thought they tested Imposter Ditto in #xyresearch and found it passes down DW ability status?

Gogoat (and maybe other grass types) learns a move called Grassy Terrain which changes the terrain and powers up grass moves. It might have other effects too, like how Misty Terrain weakens dragon attacks but its still pretty gimmicky and grass is a terrible offensive typing.

Easy, just burn your house down.
So pardon the picture not being the right orientation but I was trying to look around and see what was in different peoples friend safari, and there was one that just kept throwing metang at me and pissing me off so I skipped it for later.

Came back today and FINALLY caught a metang, and still haven't seen what his second pokemon was, so I stick around and


:aaaa:

(also the second pokemon ended up being mawile.)

IVs will carry over if a Pokemon has the EV item equipped (Muscle Belt, etc.), but in HG/SS, this only applied to one of the parents and the pass-down effect would cancel fully if both of them had the item equipped. Otherwise, it randomly chooses two IVs to pass down from each parent, and then the baby generates two more.
