I know there was a guy a while back who said he'd cloned like 999 copies of certain items - did anyone do that with Char-Y's Mega Stone? I want a Charizard Y!

I don't understand Mega Abomasnow's design. With most Megas you can tell what they were inspired by or what they're based on (e.g. Mega Lucario is a primeval warrior, Mega Manectric is a living thunderbolt, Mega Alakazam is an Indian swami, Mega Heracross is a Hercules stag beetle, Mega Medicham is a Hindu priest, etc.), but Megaboma I just can't figure out. Do those three ice spikes on its back signify anything for instance, or are they just there to look cool? That's fine too, but I'd like it if they had some kind of function, like Mega Blastoise's huge cannon or Mega Pinsir's outrageous/awesome wing contraption. Does anybody have any ideas regarding Megaboma?

Abomasnow is an Abominable Snow Tree, and his mega form is that only moreso. The giant ice spikes on his back replace the smaller pinecone spikes he had before, so maybe he is a little more snow and and a little less tree. Still abominable, though.

Yeah, I don't think the mega evolutions are modeled after anything specific that wasn't already there... they just take it and make it "moreso"

Some Megas are just more of the Pokemon itself, and some add much more to the Pokemon. For instance Ampharos: http://youtu.be/1JmNpvDqjaw?t=2m10s

Years and years? Do you mean less than a year and year? Less than 2 years of support for your game's features is ridiculous.

It's not Nintendo shutting down the servers, it's Gamespy, and Nintendo isn't rehosting the servers. Glu Mobile bought them and only announced recently that they were shutting things down.

Not that it's my place to tell Nintendo how to handle their online features, but sometimes I wonder just how out of touch Nintendo was (and still is) about the Internet and its place in gaming even in 2004.

In 2004 none of the consoles were especially great about this stuff. Nintendo was always the worst, but it's not like Microsoft or Sony weren't bad as well. Even Seam was bad back then. Problem is that Nintendo has been the slowest to adapt and it really shows now, all of their online stuff is a complete mess. Plus, some stuff that makes sense for Japan just doesn't for anywhere else.

Okay, I'm aware. This absolves them of criticism how? They should at the very least rehost the most recent games.

I...what? Are you actually reading the posts you're replying to?

The most recent games are not effected by this at all, these are all the previous gen games and it does not affect the ability to transfer pokemon up, so anything you'd actually want to do with them that this would affect (GTS trading and Online Battling) can be done by just bringing them up to X/Y and then doing it. There's not much they can do about the servers shutting down and there's little to no point in re-hosting them.

I trained up a Modest Tinted Lens Yanmega in hopes to have a terrifying choice wallbreaker that flies through substitute like tissue paper, only to be sorely disappointed by its lacking speed. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and train up a Timid one with a card instead of specs.

It loses hilariously to anything Dark/Ghost. Of course, you can't actually switch in...

AFAIK the Tinted Lens variant has to be timid, it needs all the speed it can get. The Speed Booster can run modest but gets walled by more things.

Power Split. It might have been useful before ULTIMATE BUFFING was complete, but there was not much use for it after obtaining Shuckle-Nirvana.

So, I spent hours breeding to get a perfect 6IV Yamask with egg moves. My chosen build includes Pain Split in the moveset. Now I realize that I overlooked Pain Split being a B/W2 Move Tutor learned move for Cofagrigus.

So, does anyone know of viable way to remedy my situation? Is it possible to transfer Pokemon from X/Y to B/W2? Can Pain Split ever be inherited as an egg move? Any ideas for how I can preserve my originally intended moveset?

You can wait until a future game, probably Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, gives you access to that move tutor again.
