Prepare for trouble!

And make it a double!
seriously tho. if your gamestop claims to not have any codes, let them know they can print off codes on receipts and to just do that for you. I literally went to a gamestop yesterday and the guy there had no idea that was ever an option but he figured out how to do it quick.

Is Wonder Trade still gonna be a thing? I like it as a way to dump breeding trash and sometimes can get some funny results.

Anyone have any pro tips for living dex completion? Figured, gently caress it, there's two weeks until the new games come out, may as well do something in the meantime.

I've already organized everything in Bank to see what I'm missing, going one gen at a time with my breeding and evolving train. I figure I might have some issues with some of the trade evos but I might be able to score some of them on GTS I'm guessing.

They haven't said anything regarding wonder trade, but I hope its still around as it's a great way to jettison your unwanted Pokémon like sea animals jettison their eggs during spawning.

However, since Hyper Training allows you to raise IVs. It's possible that you might not even need to breed so many Pokémon to get the perfect result.

why would anyone not hypertrain a perfect ditto? Especially if that one cap is, I assume, going to be rare? Unless ditto won't exist in Alola and has to imported. Has there been a gen where ditto didn't exist outside of late/post game?

They dont want to use ditto breeding pokemon, they wanna use their friends they caught and used in the main game

if you have x and y completed friend safaris are pretty good at filling out your dex. otherwise just ask in the trading thread in this link and I'm sure people can toss you some

I'm calling mine Kenny Omeowga. Because it's a video game so I think he'd appreciate it most, and also the main character is a dirty gaijin.

I believe it's every other time you open the demo or something like that. It's not based on the time of day.

I feel like people are coming around on Incineroar, which is good, because the design is excellent, and it is HEEL TIGER. still going with owl, but there should be no more Incineroar hate in this thread.

There's a way to manual shift it, but can't remember the exact button presses. It was something + start vs. select for day or night.

It won't, Ditto is in the Aloladex. So either it's catchable in the wild or you are given one from an NPC.

Backing all the way out to the menu and going back in coincided with it suddenly becoming night.

The leak that showed which island stuff is on has Ditto on island 3. I'm guessing it's catchable, but I suppose it could be a gift or trade.

I literally just completed my living dex (minus the mythical events that I missed).

I found that Eeveelutions are a pretty hot item. I got about 30 'mons just by mass evolving Umbreons and Espeons and putting them in the GTS.

Legendaries are harder to come by. I lucked out with the legendary beasts. I traded level 90+ competitive pokemon for Suicune, Raikou, and Entei.

I also played through Pokemon X three different times to get Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos. I caught 3 Zygardes, 3 Xerneas, and 3 Mewtwos and used those as bargaining for higher-profile legendaries.

Someone linked to the Origin of Species column on Bulbapedia and I've been reading it since yesterday. It is fascinating.

On Bronzor and Bronzong:

quote:

After a while, though, the woman started to regret giving away her mirror, which had been in her family for many years. An old proverb said that a mirror was the soul of a woman, and she started to worry that in giving away her precious mirror, she had also given away her soul. She didn't have the money to buy the mirror back, and whenever she went to the temple, she could see it in amongst the pile of others. She longed to steal it back, but the opportunity never came.

Eventually, all of the mirrors were sent to the foundry to be melted down. Mysteriously, one of the mirrors would not melt: a sign that whoever donated it must not have wanted to give it up.

quote:

One reference to the legends in the design of Bronzor and Bronzong that might not be immediately obvious is in their abilities. Both can have the Heatproof ability, rendering them resistant to fire, just like the mirror that refused to be melted down.
