Yo, does anyone know exactly what you need to get past that punk in the Lost Hotel? He says something about not having enough style but I don't know if he's just talking about my character's outfit (like that chick who gives you the Pangoro hat) or that hidden style stat I hear people talking about.

You need to find all the rollerblade girls who teach you tricks in Lumiose. There's probably better guides out there but if you click the ? to see all my posts I had an mspaint map of the City that should have most of them (the blue dots), although I missed one standing outside in the north boulevard.

There are four rollerbladers scattered about in Lumiose City. Talk to them and they'll teach you rollerskating tricks and if you know them all, then you'll be stylish enough.

Dumb question: There's no way to do 6 vs. 6 battles with strangers on the internet, right?

I hang out at a local game cafe that deals mostly in card games, but they are considering doing some competitive play for Pokemon X/Y and I'm trying to help them out. I know the usual standard rules (like no legendaries), but I want to try other forms of play. There's one idea I want to present to them and want to share with you all to see if we can make this work. The name of the game is Pokemon Commander. Rules: * The player's part consists of 6 pokemon, one of which are legendary. Any legendary is acceptable, but only one legendary is allowed in the party. * The player wins if they make their opponent's legendary pokemon faint, regardless of how many non-legendary pokemon are still active. Now the first thing that comes to mind is "Well, I'll just use my remaining 5 guys then the legendary last". I want to add some rules to make things interesting. Here's 2 ideas * When the legendary pokemon is not in play, it must be put into play within 4 turns. * When one of your regular pokemon faint, the next pokemon to go out must be the legendary and you cannot switch pokemon for two turns (I'm considering allowing moves like U-turn or other party switching moves to be legit, but I am not sure at the moment.) I'm considering making pokemon with Arena Trap or anti-switching moves illegal but I'm not sure. Any suggestions to make this idea run smoothly?

The only way I can think of to salvage this idea would instead do rotation battles where the team's legendary must always be in play. That wouldn't require a bunch of obscure rules that must be self enforced while at the same time not really making for any interesting strategy.

Why can't the winner just be the person who wins, rather than the person who kills the legendary first? I think it would be more interesting if the other mode of play was a regularly changing gimmick. My fiance and I used to do a lot of gimmick matches back in DPP. Our first match, we had to use 1 first gen starter, 1 second gen starter and 1 third gen starter. Some other ones were just rolling for 6 different types that had to be present on our teams, all pokemon that start with the same letter, Christmas theme, and even one where we each were allowed to bring a single legendary. I know some people who have had Gym Leader tournaments where everyone draws for a different type and creates a mono-type team. I think something like that would be more fun for people who want to do more than just standard 1v1.

Took a 4IV NidoranM (31/31/X/X/31/31) with Hustle and turned it in to a 5IV (31/X/31/31/31/31) Modest with Hustle. I think I'm getting the hang of this breeding for IVs thing! Now to take an Adamant 3IV Sneasel (31/X/31/31/X/X) with Pickpocket and turn it in to a 5IV (31/31/31/X/31/31) Adamant with Pickpocket!

It's like saying, "What if we had Gen V Dragon type, except it hit three things super-effectively and was unresisted? And it has equivalents to Outrage, Brave Bird, and Dragon Pulse, plus a 102 BP drawback-free physical move and a (rare) 140 BP drawback-free special move? And also make Normal weak to only one type that it also hits super-effectively."

I don't care how horribly imbalanced anything in that mode is. It'd be amazing to play with a friend since there is no way either of us would be able to keep track of everything and it would become a horrible mess.

No  I thought there was and starting EV training and chain breeding in anticipation then realized the 6v6 stuff was only if you battle friends/passerby, random battles are only 6v6 if you do triple battles. The "Official" Nintendo tournaments are actually double battles for some reason, and a lot of the balance they put into new games is stuff targeted at double/triple battles. For whatever reason gamefreak themselves don't want to encourage the single battle 6v6 gameplay the main game is almost entirely made up of.Also the random matchmaker with the 3v3 battles doesn't even ban stuff the Battle Maison does, you'll see Mega Mewtwo on half the teams. Your best bet for what you're looking for is the Pokemon Showdown simulator unfortunately. I'm hoping that they change this when they release the Z version because it's a really simple fix.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:No I can understand why they would make double battles the de facto mode of play for their tournaments. As much as I enjoy 6v6, it is a much slower game type than doubles, and it can lead to some unsavory strategies when you don't enforce sleep or evasion clause. Whereas in doubles, it's all out offense all the time. The battles are shorter and more enjoyable to watch for the average spectator.

Silver Falcon posted:Make sure the female has the ability you need. Females pass down their ability 80% of the time. So that's why practically all my Yanmas were hatching with Compoundeyes instead of Speed Boost when I was breeding. Which is fine by me as I wanted Yanmega with Tinted Lens but I thought it was pretty odd that I only got like a handful of Speed Boost ones the entire time.

Oh god, what happened?! I did a trade with a guy I'd traded with before... and when I backed out after three trades, I was met with a black screen. So I hit the Power button and hit the Home button... but now the 3DS is frozen on the "Home Menu" screen... or rather, the "Home Menu" name on the lower screen and otherwise white screens. The power button isn't responding and putting the 3DS to sleep isn't working. Am I hosed? Is my 3DS bricked or something? How do I fix this? I have 140 hours and over 450 Pokemon in my 'dex. Did I just lose them all?  E: vvv Holding down Power didn't do squat for me. I had to close the 3DS, eject the Pokemon X card, then I got a black screen telling me to hit home. I did and it finally went. Popped X back in and things seem to be okay. Holy poo poo, that was a bad thing to happen at this hour. That poo poo isn't good for the heart, man!

Pretty vital for completing the dex since some Pokemon are completely unobtainable in X/Y even when Friend Safaris are taken into account. You can complete the three regional dexes but not the National without previous games. ChibiSoma posted:Oh god, what happened?!

The power button isn't responding and putting the 3DS to sleep isn't working. That's really weird, a while ago I was adding someone from the trading thread and hit the power button in the friends list to turn the 3DS off, but when it faded out it froze on the black screen instead of going to the usual "Power off or sleep mode?" screen. Pressing the home button didn't do anything and pressing the power button again didn't do anything either. I held down the power button for about ten seconds or so and that seemed to finally turn it off, and I didn't have any problems with it when I played it later, but it was really weird.

Christo posted:So I've been thinking of how moves like Trick-or-Treat and Forest's Curse might be used in double battles. Who do you think would benefit the most from having ghost or grass type tacked on? I thought Bisharp might make a good recipient of Trick-or-Treat considering he'd become immune to fighting which is normally a 4x weakness, but other than that ghost typing doesn't really help much (and actually cancels out some of the resistances it gets from steel and dark). Give it to a bulky Normal-type like Blissey for 3 immunities and only 1 weakness

What on earth are you supposed to do with Shiftry again? Attack's higher than Special Attack, but he's got gently caress-all for physical moves. Gets Payback but he's base 80 speed, which isn't too crap, so he's probably faster than the opponent. Seems like a case where you ignore the higher stat, EV train the lower one, and go from there. What should I be breeding for, nature-wise? And move-wise, I guess. This applies to Ludicolo, too. I got a Modest one out of my first round, but the guy in Kiloude says her Special Attack is absolute poo poo.  I want my dancing pineapple duck back.

You can have him as a fantastic staller with Rain Dish, Leftovers, Leech Seed and Giga Drain or you can sweep hard with swift swim. I built mine to stall, but he has huge problems against grass and physical attacks he's weak to.
