Looks like we've already reached the goal for GTS Global Mission! A few items worth noting that some of you may not know is that trading at least five Pokemon rewards you with 5 Rare Candies and if the goal is doubled then everyone gets a Friend Ball.

They actually set up a realistic number to achieve this mission so I'm not surprised if it goes to two million or more.

I enjoy Poke Pelago. How will GameFreak gently caress it up next gen?

It won't count time that passes when your system is off. Or in sleep mode. Or playing games besides Pokemon. Or on another screen besides the Poke Pelago island you're trying to use.

Micro transactions. "Need more beans? $1 for ten or $5 for 60 on the Nintendo store! Want those EV training Pokemon to finish instantly and not next week (because we lengthened the time)? Well, now for only $10 on the Nintendo store you can fully EV train 6 Pokemon!

GTS is weird. I've been trying to swap a sandshrew for my vulpix for days with no luck. Buzzwole for the other UB02 gone in minutes. Kartana for Celesteela? Nothing overnight so far.

I've never tried but some people here were saying that kartana never traded well. Buzzwole on the other hand though always traded to a celesteela in an hour max, usually less.

If you're still after a vulpix though let me know

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


Buzzwole and Celesteela are harder to trade for since you only get 2 Buzzwole in Sun and 2 Celesteela in Moon while you get 4 Pheromosa in Moon and 4 Kartana in Sun.

As for Vulpix, I'd probably try your luck with Wondertrade as I've gotten loads of Vulpix through that rather then GTS.

Anyone want to trade a Celesteela for a Buzzwole?

I've still been able to trade Mareanies for rare-ish stuff. Or while this GTS mission is going on, try putting up a Magnemite for the Sandshrew.

So, I just tried to name my Incineroar "The Macho Mon Randy Savage" and apparently "Mon" is not a legal word (both stand alone and as "MachoMon"). Any clue as to why? I can understand "Mong" since that is a slur. But when a game is called "PokeMon", you'd think that'd be allowed.

Not sure what mon means, but you used to not be able to trade Cofagrigus, so checking for this kind of stuff is obviously not a priority. :D

Mamon looks like it is a banned Spanish word. Machomon also has homo in the middle. Maybe that's what tripped it?

IIRC you could still trade Cofagrigus, you just couldn't trade a pokémon named Cofagrigus. Even if it was a Cofagrigus.

So, apparently, it was because "Macho Mon" has "homo" separated by a space. "TheMacho-Mon" actually worked.

And yet I got a Magikarp in Wonder Trade named FILLDEPUTA... which I'm fairly sure means something like "Son of a whore." However my Spanish is pretty terrible so I'm not positive. I know puta is Spanish for whore.

Probably only partially Game Freak. They could make exceptions around it, but most games just use the Nintendo "bad words list" as a filter which is just a huge list of regular expressions built into the 3DS firmware.

On a modded 3DS if you delete the system title that has the list for the vulgarity filter you can name stuff whatever you want. If Wonder Trade only does a client-side check with the filter then it would bypass that too.

Was your wife able to throw the Fearow back into WT?

Unfortunately she was so taken with how amazingly dumb the name was I'm not sure she'd be willing to part with it. That's interesting though; I assumed the 'DIK' part was getting past the word filter, but maybe it was a character limit thing instead.

It's pretty tough to catch all potentially naughty names without over-censoring (which, arguably, the system currently does anyway).

Some special forms of Pikachu they programmed in that aren't released yet as I understand it. There's one for each region and they are wearing the baseball caps Ash wore in the anime for that region.

I checked that subreddit linked earlier but wasn't too impressed by the few doubles teams I found there, and I'm not sure I can be bothered to breed up mons for a mode I don't really play, I just want the 50 wins for the stamp.

On the other hand, using QR teams is pokemon fraud. You might as well burn all your cartridges and just play showdown from now on.

Tapu Lele + Mega Metagross and two filler was doing pretty well for me. That and they can be used in other formats you do play. I'd give you a QR code but goons have been saying it's not a good idea at the moment to do those

More specifically, the QR codes contain your Game Sync ID. Meaning that someone can extract that info from them, and impersonate you to get you banned. :cripes:

You have made a mistake. All children will have at least 4 perfect IVs in that situation.
