With the Oval charm, and 2 different OT same species mons, you can expect eggs almost instantly.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I hope that all the Pokémon I've bred in the Gen VI games don't become obsolete in Sun and Moon. I mean, I know they probably will since movepool tweaks are bound to happen and new egg moves will probably become the new staples, but I can hope right :smith:

Anyway, has anyone made a tally of all the old Pokémon that appeared in Sun and Moon trailers yet? They might be clues to who isn't getting Alolan forms.

While I haven't done this, the Japanese Sun/Moon site has pages for several Kanto Pokemon, and I think those are the ones that appeared in the trailers. As such, we can expect these Pokemon to not get Alola forms:
-Dragonite
-Zubat
-Gyarados
-Spearow
-Pinsir
-Lapras
-Arcanine
-Psyduck

All of these show their full evolution lines too, so I wouldn't expect Golbat, Crobat, Fearow or Golduck, either.

Ugh, the contests were the best. I miss my beautiful Masquerain in emerald. I am disappointed every gen when they don't do contests and was surprised it wasn't in XY. It was a great break away from the constant battling and gave not so great pokemon a great chance to shine. And if it had online play, that would be even better. WHY WON'T GAME FREAK LET ME AND MY FRIENDS BE FABULOUS!?

My perfect Pokemon game wishlist includes:

- Online Pokeathlon
- Online Contest (eh, why not?)
- More character customization (body type, age, MOAR CLOTHES)
- Pokemon related jobs (ie. chase Team Skull atop a Sharpedo while they try to smuggle Pokeblocks across Kalos, Chansey E.R simulator)

Basically any activities that are bound to happen in a world where humans and Pokemon have lived together since the dawn of time other than Pokemon fights and IV breeding.

Like I never forgave XY for telling you that your mom was this famous Rhyhorn racer champion, tease you with a glimpse of the racing field and never let you participate in said Chocobo Rhyhorn races

Powersaves, which is additional hardware you'd have to buy and only works if you have a physical cartridge. As far as I know there are no fake GTS shenanigans in play at the moment.

Spatula City posted:

actually, what happened was that a game store in Canada inadvertently sold copies of X and Y a week early, and several people started posting screenshots, and doing everything they could to find all of the new Pokemon. IIRC one of them was having trouble evolving Inkay, and then was like "no, wait, it couldn't be this..." and held the 3DS system upside down. SURE ENOUGH. Obviously people could have found out from game guides.

I'm not even sure if 3DS Pokemon games can be datamined in the way older Pokemon games were.

People have figured out how to look into 3DS games now.

The leak that's was out before the release also said there was a Pokemon that evolved when the 3DS was turned upside down which is probably why anyone tried it in the first place.

If I remember correctly, the leaker was a playtester, which is how they found out.

I remember while we were in the grips of Goomy madness as XY was getting leaked, our leaker discovering how to get Goodra seemed like a big deal.

Some things to keep in mind for breeding that make it go faster (not that you're having trouble) are:

Pokemon of the same species make eggs more often
Pokemon with different Trainer IDs make eggs more often
Pokemon of the same species with different Trainer IDs make eggs the most often
Pokemon of different species, but still in the same egg group, and the same Trainer ID WILL eventually produce eggs. It just takes longer. As long as the Daycare person says anything besides "The two prefer to play with other Pokemon," you will get an egg.

The Key Item called the Oval Charm, which you get from the Professor for completing the Regional Pokedex, makes Pokemon produce eggs more often across the board.

Also, females pass down their Pokeball to their offspring; genderless Pokemon cannot inherit Pokeballs by any means whatsoever. :( This makes me sad.

I want a PC box that's a trade wish list along with a PC box that's things you will give away for anything on that list, so someone can come by and have options for trading you the thing you want. In addition to being able to trade specific mon for mon.

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

For as much as the GTS helped trading stuff online be a thing, the actual real-time online trading system still kind of sucks and needs a lot of work. without any real way to communicate with people it's just you showing pokemon to them and hoping they figure out something you want

a wishlist option would help a lot

So I just hatched a ballin' shiny Ralts with great IVs, but she has Synchronize. If I use an ability capsule on her, will she keep Trace through all her evolutions, or can it switch back to Synchronize? Obviously at that point, I can just wait until she's a Gardevoir, but it'd be nice to know if I can do it right away.

I also have 43 BP. It's 1 BP per battle at the Maison, right? What's the fastest way to grind up the remaining 157 BP I need? Triple/Double/Singles?

It won't switch back.

Also, you can get a fuckton of BP by leaving pokemon in Bank. Not sure which battle method is the fastest way to generate it though.

Yeah, that 43 BP is from Bank. Does the amount of points you get from Bank increase depending on the number of Pokémon currently in the bank?

If they do horde battles again, they need to speed up the battle text. They were badass but took too long to do anything.

If they do it again, I hope they let you send out more than one Pokemon and let you capture before you knock out all but one. Sitting by as five wild Pokemon slowly demolish you stats and whittle down your HP with scratch damage just for a shot at the single one you want to capture, heaven forbid the horde have two things you want to catch, is an enormously irritating experience.
