I did the shiny Mimikyu technique last night. Gosh he's cute but I feel kind of bad for exploding all the other ones with a moon laser dog. Had a panic moment when Effect Spore went off because I sent out the wrong Parasect but it was just sleep.

It was pretty great how it appeared though. I managed to doze off while doing it and when I woke up the shiny one was just there.

Well at least after you finish this game, there's like 18 years of other Pokemon games left you can play.

You buy the eShop version of RBY, and wait till January for the Pokemon Bank top open, then transfer Mew to SuMo.

All of the glitches are intact. Make sure you dont use TMs until you can cinnabar clone them.

Are there any Pokemon you can only get in gen IV/V games (excluding B2W2), or that are a real pain to get in the newer ones? I've got a Victini I figure I should definitely send up to the bank, but I get the impression you can get most other legendaries in XY or ORAS, except the annoying event ones which I won't get anyway. I've finished Soul Silver and Diamond so I have like Dialga and Lugia and those, so mostly wondering about more out of the way ones.

The only Pokemon that aren't obtainable between XY, ORAS, and SM are event-only mons. However, a bunch of said event-only legendaries, including Victini, were made available for free over mystery gift recently so they aren't quite as rare as they used to be.

I'm just confused as to why you would clone a TM. And how it would help.

Yeah, unfortunately my Gen VI games are on a Japanese 3DS and as far as I can tell there's been no equivalent mystery gift distribution of event mons for Japan, at least not recently, so I've pretty much given up hope of a real living dex.

So you can teach more than one thing ever Earthquake? I don't understand the confusion.

The shiny thing shouldn't be an issue, since you're only transferring forwards and not backwards. The personality value can always be composed to make a pokemon shiny without any other external effects.
Oh, that's fair. Yeah, that works.

In gen 1 you only get to use each TM once so if you clone them you can use them more.

Yo where are you all getting the template for your E4 teams? I'm climbling the mountain as we speak, so I'll need it sooner or later. (PS: thanks WT guy who sent over a Sensu Oricorio, I was super pissed I wouldn't be able to complete my team theme until the post-game.)

And to be clear we have no clue if the Pokebank will accept a glitched Mew from Red/Blue do we yet?

Ok so now we've had Rival-champion, previous Elite 4 member-champion, random dude champion/previous gym leader-champion, lady-champion, hobo-champion/Ash companion-champion, 'nudder lady-champion, and now finally professor-champion*

so obviously gen 8 will have... mom-champion?

I bred a few boxes of Cubones yesterday attempting to breed for IVs. I sent them off into the Wonder Trade afterwards.

If you get a Cubone with a name like Dana Skully, Dr. Bones MD, Boney M or Calavera, it was probably one of mine.

I ended up getting a Mareanie, a couple Popplios, a bunch of Gibles and a ton of Abras, though one of them was at least Jolly with Synchronize.

well, the hope is that since the mew is legit in all ways as far as the game is concerned, they won't program the bank to not accept it

like there is nothing actually glitched about the mew, just the method of obtaining it

Yeah, that raises an interesting point. Are any of the eShop Pokemon games not the horribly buggy messes they used to be? I could see playing through Yellow maybe, but no Pokemon is worth revisiting the original Red & Blue.

Two things so far playing Sun

1) gently caress SOS right now as I'm still under leveled. My whole team got pushed multiple times in by Rufflets cuz I couldn't kill them from high enough health.

2) Friendship based evolution seems terrible and dumb and bad.

You can swap TM's for like 20 minutes to raise its friendship or just remember to catch what ever the gently caress it is in a friendship ball.
