yes, that is what Bank is for. it's how Pokemon move between generations now

it will also let you transfer pokemon from the Red/Blue/Yellow VC versions to Sun/Moon

The Dragonitenite, obviously. You might not think they'd go for a name like that, but they do it for all languages. The Japanese name of the Gardevoirite is the Sirknightnite.

Though I think it would be an idea to just have a generic Mega Stone item to give to Pokemon that can Mega Evolve so you don't have to find 30+ individual stones per game.

Yeah I'm hoping Gamefreak will just conveniently "forget" to include the stones for Salamance and Kangaskhan.

My little brother is playing competitive battlespot for the first time. He's really salty about the abundance of M-Kanga. He also had never seen perish trap before and I had to explain to him how he was hosed.

Having multiple mega stones means you can set up a team with two mega evolvers and decide which one should mega evolve, or even which one to bring, based on circumstances in the battle, without violating the Item Clause. It only really matters for non-6v6 formats.

gothitelle's ability is shadow tag (the opponent can't switch) and gengar role played shadow tag, then they used skill swap on haunter to put shadow tag on haunter so gengar could continue the normalize chain

The big misplay was going after Delcatty at all. After the fake-out it would almost certainly be complete dead-weight while Gengar is an actual threat, focusing the Gengar down first would have led to a really easy win.

*nods sagely*

I actually took even longer than any sane person would (I think I'd racked up 40 hours) in my first run of the game because I was wildly indecisive about my team and at its height I had an 18-Pokemon team in constant rotation. It was madness, but there were so many amazing Pokemon available early and I wanted to use ALL OF THEM. and then I was also obsessed with Catching Them All. and Glittering Cave (that's the one with the weird perspective, right?) was particularly obnoxious because you have to run in and out of the cave a bunch to regenerate the shadows.
but this paid off in having darn near the weirdest team I've ever had, with Exploud as one of the anchors. Uproar is a pretty drat good early game special Normal attack, which allowed Whismur to pull its weight.

i didn't know gothitelle got shadow tag and also somehow i missed seeing it show up. ok that explains it then

I was looking through all the new pokemon. There are a lot of stupid looking ones.
Also, I guess I played Black/White along with Gold, too.

How many of the pokemon games can I digitally download once I get my new 3DS?



To the guy who wanted to make a Halloween themed run, what about these two pokemon:

Rotom is basically a poltergeist
Mawile is some hosed up monster so it would fit right it
