I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


I have a similar setup except I'm less organized and have a bunch of boxes filled with high IVed Pokémon that I have no real reason to actually keep. I really should wondertrade them away but I often get that nagging feeling that I need to keep the mon for future breeding. Of course, if I do wondertrade them, there's a high chance I'll end up with similar Pokémon which defeats the original purpose of wondertrading them away.

I'm a drat Pokémon hoarder. :smith:

I'm currently playing through my copy of SoulSilver again just to toss a bunch of special ball 'mons into my bank. 3/8ths through Kanto so I can finally get and use rock climb.

I have my Pokemon sorted by type, so their background wallpapers are appropriate.

Within the boxes, I have properly bred and trained Pokemon, then Pokemon that have been part of my story teams, then shinies, then other Pokemon. Within those groups, they are sorted by dex number.

My Rayquaza that came from Emerald forward to Diamond, served as my Fly/Cut slave for like four years, then forward to Black and is now rotting in the bank is named "Rayg0ld", because there was no @ symbol, I was thirteen, and why WOULDN'T I want to name it after a pedophile?

My pokemon are in boxes by type. Dual-types go in whichever box I feel best represents them. Then I put single-types on the left and dual-types on the right. This is correct and good.

Thinking of trying a Nuzlocke but I'd want to go back to an older game for it probably. Maybe White2, I haven't played that yet.

Here's something interesting. The Unlimited Tile Puzzle game stops counting your points at 49,999, which happens when you complete puzzle number 47. But in the event that you advance further than puzzle number 48, the high score table doesn't use the "number of puzzles completed" field as a tie-breaker, it just sorts your newer score below the old score even if you completed more puzzles.

I guess they didn't think anyone would be enough of a loser to get that good at the game. Well guess what Game Freak I proved you wrong!!!

If I may squeeze myself in here like an rear end in a top hat, I have several Level Ball Larvitar on hand that I have no attachment to. Also a Heavy Ball Onix I can breed (and friend ball Mareep. Which isn't really color-coded but whatever).

If you can give/breed me one of each of these, I think that's worth one of my genuine shinies.

This does not mean my offer to you, notoriousman, is closed, if you are interested in getting me that Scyther and a rando level or friend ball mon, if you're going to be catching them and bringing them to gen6 to breed anyway.

I'm going to try and find the trade thread to take this discussion to. Either/both of you are welcome to follow me there and we'll set something up.

I've got a Sport Ball Scyther I can breed a copy of quick, and a Friend Ball Sudowoodo. I'll hunt down some Level Ball 'mons in a bit I suppose, these two are just the ones I have ready now.

Yup, I do it with my girlfriend's AS copy all the time. You can't transfer over any unique items or moves, however; basically just the exclusive megastones and any Rayquaza knowing Dragon Ascent.

OK under ancient rite of Prima Dibs-a, you get first-in-line out of the peeps offering me Scyther.

Shiny offer also open to anyone who was smart enough to SR for a female Snorlax and catch her in a Heavy Ball.

I have never understood why people do that. I don't habitually re-read the posts before my most recent post in a thread, so if I say something and you reply to it in your post which is above mine, chances are I won't see it. I assume most other forums users behave similarly.

in most cases it's a passive-aggressive way of arguing with someone where bc they don't see it you get to say you won

What do you have to do with Bank to get a pokemon marked as owned in the Pokedex? Do you have to save and quit with it in the PC or can you just move it in and back out and not save until you've moved everything in and out?

I guess I could test this myself.

e: brief testing indicates you have to save and quit with things ON the cart in question to add it to that cart's Pokedex (but you don't have to open the game, just use the save and quit function in Bank)
