I love wonder trade gift exchanges. So far I've gotten 3 littens, 2 charmanders, and a mimikyu in a friend ball.

Given Gen 4 remakes will probably happen eventually, you could always save him 'till then. Besides, gen 4 contests included dress-up competitions. :3:

That's true! I'm EV training him now (along with a bunch of his sisters) and then we'll see!

Guess I need to be careful not to transfer my Mewtwo over to Ultra Sun too early, since I'm trying to get as many ribbons as possible on it. Go do contests, Mewtwo! Sing and dance for me!!

I have just finished dumping 2 boxes of Jangmo-o named Merry Xmas and a box of Meditite onto wonder trade. I hope they all found nice homes with new players who can use them. :3:

:hfive: I finished dumping my two boxes of Pokérus Delibirds named Patient Zero ans mostly holding Lum Berries since I couldn't get a crop of Starf and Lansats grown in time sound 1AM this morning. I was so tired I would doze off while waiting to get matched with a trade partner but I got it done. That's life on Christmas day with two young kids, though.

At one point I got back a Delibird named Santa, but he wasn't holding poo poo. Looks like someone looted whatever he had some the way. :v:

The name he suggests depends on how you answer his questions prior, it seems.

I like how it was a short-sighted way to throw in the code they already had for the nickname back in Gen 6 though.

There's something wholesome, and rather unexpected, about seeing Ash just have a nice family breakfast with his foster parents.

Delia and Mr Mime are good parents too, but it's nice to actually see Ash be in a "normal" home family life.

Papa Kukui is best Kukui and that's the kind of SoL I can get behind instead of forced comedy like Rotom and Jigglypuff

Hackers got homebrew on the Switch using the browser. I don't know if it's going to be a Vita situation where games after a certain firmware just won't work, but be ready for Pokemon Switch to have hacks or an early leak at launch.

My personal favorite is Ponyta, the incredibly ordinary looking fire horse:

quote:

Capable of jumping over the Eiffel Tower or Ayers Rock in a single giant leap. Its hooves are ten times harder than diamonds.
Though Drifloon is definitely the king of insane Pokédex entries.

quote:

These Pokémon are called the "Signpost for Wandering Spirits." Children holding them sometimes vanish.

quote:

Stories go that it grabs the hands of small children and drags them away to the afterlife. It dislikes heavy children.

quote:

Its round body is stuffed with souls and expands each time it leads someone away.

quote:

If for some reason its body bursts, its soul spills out with a screaming sound.
But then they confirm that the kidnappings actually happen.

Yamask still has the most hosed up pokedex

quote:

Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry.

quote:

These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves in past ages. Each retains memories of its former life.

Lampent is pretty bad too

quote:

The spirits it absorbs fuel its baleful fire. It hangs around hospitals waiting for people to pass on.

Haunter

quote:

Its tongue is made of gas. If licked, its victim starts shaking constantly until death eventually comes.

Gourgeist

quote:

It enwraps its prey in its hair like arms. It sings joyfully as it observes the suffering of its prey


basically ghost pokemon are hosed up

Listen, it made sense when the Kanto Region was a fantasy version of the Kanto Region in Japan before the anime and later games came along.
