Once I trained my first pokemon, I was amazed at how fast it was once you got the initial requirements out of the way (power items, pokerus, a sweet scenter). Took maybe 10-15 minutes, and most of that was spent flying to the horde locations.

They've done a lot to make EVs more transparent. I wish they flat out told you what your totals were instead of providing the graph only. (Making Reset bags more common would help, too.)

I just wish that either A: The graph had little numbers by each of the stats, or B: Reset bags didn't take 100 freaking hits! :argh:

Super training is kind of nice for pokemon you don't want to gain xp though. I've been EV training some hatched mons I intend to transfer to my ORAS once it comes out so they'll be ready to own faces immediately.

Just hatched a shiny Fenny with Magician and Heat Wave, with 5/31 and dump in Atk. Awwwwww yisssssssssssss!

edit: and in the process of leveling him up into a Delphox I got my 4th shiny from Henye's friend safari- the gift that keeps on giving.

So I ended up getting a shiny 5IV Chatot with Boomburst and Nasty Plot on Wonder trade.

This kind of rivals the random Zygarde that I also got from Wonder trade, and coincidentally, both times I traded a Fennekin away.

Not to rain on your parade but that Chatot is totally hacked.

How is that? Nasty Plot and Boomburst are both egg moves, and 5v is not hard to get this gen from breeding.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it be pretty easy to duplicate Pokemon via Wondertrade by not saving after trading?

That wouldn't work because forced saves and excessive levels of re-checking are very much Nintendo's bag. In past gens cloning like that has involved turning off the system with very precise timing.

The fact that they happily sent it off is more is a giveaway that they can get more, easy.

I meant that if you reset the game after a wonder trade you would still have your pokeyman in your box, letting you send off shinies with impunity.

I think the game tries to make sure that the trade went ahead before it saves the new pokemon. As in, it tries to co-ordinate the two carts so that they save at the same time so that things like that won't work. It is possible to get around this when trading locally by timing things well, as Buh says, but over Wonder Trade you won't have the coordination with the other player to achieve that.

It remains possible that the pokemon was duplicated locally and then the dupes were sent out over WT, or that there are other methods of duplicating mons of which I'm not aware, but it's a bit hard to imagine anyone going to a great deal of trouble to send strangers shiny Chatot. Then again, if someone went to the trouble of breeding high-IV Chatot (which they presumably did, if the Chatot is legitimate), then why would they send a shiny one away in a Wonder Trade?

Today I learned Archeops and Archen are in the Water 3 egg group. :psyduck:

And lest anyone claim that it's because they're fossil Pokemon, I'll point out that Shieldon/Bastiodon, Cranidos/Rampardos, and Aerodactyl are not in it.

It makes about as much sense as Glalie being in the Fairy group and Gardevior being Amorphous (I assume that one came from somebody getting the wrong idea seeing Ralts' "skirt").

Glalie is based on an oni which is sort of a Japanese fairytale character, so it makes sense in that context.

Well, plus, the other members of Glalie's family are in Fairy. Makes sense that they'd all be in the same egg group, otherwise we'd get weird shenanigans like the Nidorans. (Why haven't they fixed that by now?!)

Some weird sense of continuity? I can only assume that nobody cares enough about the nidos to make that much of a stink about it.

Apparently there was an event on tumblr recently where people wondertraded shinies and other desirables. I got a shiny Entei randomly so I assume that was part of it. It could have been a hack/clone. (Powersaves can make any pokemon shiny and it may help clone, not sure about that because I dont own one) Or it was a mistake trade.

Swing and a goddamn miss. Arcades are mostly dead here so unless they plan on a Wii U port there's zero way I'll ever get to play this unless they put cabinets at Nintendo World and I bum a ride to NYC. :negative:

You guys do know that most Japanese developed fighting games are arcade exclusive at first, then get console ports later on, right?

Uh, it'll come to Wii U eventually, guys. What was the last Tekken game that didn't get a console port?

Basically every single fighting game hangs out in arcades for at least half a year before coming to consoles. Guilty Gear Xrd has been out in arcades in Japan since like February but only just had its release date announced for consoles. I believe they mentioned 2015, so I'm going to guess it'll come out in arcades mid 2015 and then hit Wii U sometime in the winter.

Sure yeah, you could draw that conclusion or a more reasonable one about a Tekken Pokemon game and a Nintendo console that got a (port of a) Tekken game.

Any pre-gen VI shiny can also very easily be hacked in the gen V games so that's where a lot of those on WT and such come from as well.

So apparently, there are two Pokken trademarks. There's one for 'Pokken Tournament' and one for 'Pokken Fighters.'

Really, you'd be silly to think that there wouldn't be a console port. The important question is where is Pokken Tag Tournament?
