He has to be. Either that or he's Mirakle B. after changing up his team in order to truly be the rightful successor to Miror B.

Hobgoblin2099, what type of music automatically plays whenever you enter a Pokemon battle? What is your theme? We must know.:colbert:

So I bred five eggs in Y to transfer over to Omega Ruby, but I only have 1 3DS. Can I use Pokemon Bank to transfer these eggs? If so, how?

Then set your theme and get your secret base ready for battle! And don't pick a base location that you need an HM to get to, HMs are annoying.
(I was trying to make a Miror B. joke involving Lay on Hands' team since Miror B's theme is awesome and always plays every time you fight him, but I copied the wrong name.):downs:

If you only have access to the 1 3DS you'd have to hatch them in Y and then bank them over.

edit: or trade them to another goon online and then have that person trade them back to you in oras

"Quoting, like smoking, is a dirty habit to which I am devoted."
There had to be one slip up in the all-in-one post-game mega island and that had to be the 'stick a coin under the circle pad and let the eggs hatch themselves' route.

It seems weird to have a daycare, IV judge and a neverending path to hatch eggs, and then make it so that you need to reset your path after hatching an egg.

I like that Mega-Ray doesn't need a stone. Means I can leave the Amulet Coin on him.

There should be a Water Bear Pokemon. Also they need to cross the Fairy type with every other one at least once. And the Poison type. And all the others but those two especially. And something Dark/Psychic. And something car-shaped. And a cloud, Electric/Ice I think.

Beartic is pretty close. It is blue and learns a ton of water moves.

Also, the anything goes tier seems to currently have a bunch of 6x Swag-Key teams, which while hilarious, seems kind of unsustainable for a tier.

Water Bears are not actually bears, nor are they water. They're microscopic immortals called Tardigrades. I'm not sure how they'd make a pokemon out of something microscopic though.

Holy poo poo I caught a world-changing monster that was going to scorch everything, and then I got to fly on another super-being across Hoenn while controlling it at will in its powered up form and I visited my mum and got money and then the National Dex and holy poo poo this game.

I love Pokemon.

Just wait until Delta Episode.

You were right, Delta Episode kind of triumphed that.

I got a lot of cool lore from some weird girl with really cool music as the background and then she summoned a dragon and then I tamed that dragon to my will and then I rode it into space in its super form and destroyed a meteor and the meteor turned to be a monster and then I destroyed the monster with my ultimate banned from the ban list super mega dragon of destruction loving up and not catching it but whatever I beat a monster from space and then I had a date and then I saw Hoenn's sky at night on my other super dragon and holy poo poo I just don't know what more to say.

OR you were insane in a way other Pokemon games haven't quite managed to be and I love you for that. Hoenn is still the best region.

I hope we get more like the Delta Episode in following games, it was nice having an actual story that wasn't tied down to the usual tradition of eight gyms and whatever.

So, I got Alpha Sapphire, instead of Omega Ruby. And I have to say: Team Magma's 'modifications' to the sub are even MORE ridiculous than Team Aqua's.
Like, Team Aqua painted it to look like a Sharpedo, which, while it's Seto-Kaiba-Blue-Eyes-White-Dragon-Jet-Plane levels of ridiculous, actually makes some kinda sense for a cool submarine.paintjob.

Painting a submarine to look like a lava camel makes absolutely no sense at all and I love these nerds all the more for it. :allears: Maxie, who on earth gave you a paintbrush?

from what i'm reading the attributes only affect the 1st round. Having a megastone when your pokemon hits the 5th star greatly increases the appeal for that turn. The scarfs seems to be a sure thing, while the mega stone only activates if you get the 5th star.

Streetpasses show up in an entirely different part of the game, at least in XY. You had to go check for passes on the main game menu.

The story I heard was that someone on Reddit was real pissed that so many kids were asking for rare event legendaries in exchange for early route trash. He said that if he could he would trade them the legendaries if he could nickname them "gently caress YOU". Somebody obliged him with a way to nickname them and now we have this trend going on.

To be fair, I can't blame him for being upset. Wonder Trade is a more reliable way to get good pokemon than GTS ever was.
