How would I go about transferring Pokémon from gen 3 to this. Would I need to buy X/Y

Step 1: Buy and beat a Gen IV game. Use the post game transfer system with your gen 3 cart in the GBA slot of your DS.

Step 2: Buy and beat a Gen V game. Use the post game transfer system with your Gen IV cart in a DS or 3DS with DS download play on.

Step 3: Download the Gen V to Pokebank app on your 3ds and perform a one way transfer to Pokebank, 1 PC box at a time.

Step 4: Wait until January for the Sun and Moon Pokebank update.

Pokémon is not kind to those who leave its side.

Ah gently caress the totem from lush jubgle is actually pretty tough. It summoned a Castform and it uses sunny day to massively empower its Synthesis and Sun Blade attack and it wiped my team

It didn't wipe me but it came close. I really only lived because of my Golbat. He evolved right after that really tough battle which was awesome. Playing without exp share on is actually kind of hard.

My team right now is Dartrix/Trumbeak/Crobat/Lycanroc/Wimpod/Salandit female. I'm honestly thinking of replacing my starter with alolan grimer though...

Crobat is 5'11" and 165 pounds. But it still lets me pet its wings and feed it beans.

If you go into the castle I think you can page people and add them that way. it's still weird

I'm using all my self control to not buy this until after Thanksgiving because i'm going to see family i haven't seen in forever and I know that if I have pokémon i'll spend the entire trip gaming and isolating myself because i'm 12 years old lol. Can't wait though and i'm glad y'all are having fun

I got invited to eat Thanksgiving dinner with coworkers but I'm going to stay home and play Pokemon instead.

I like my team a lot right now and I'm only on island 3. I don't think I'm going to swap any of them out. Once I beat the game though... The Endless Breed begins yet again.

Yeah true, I forgot to mention that but I read it. Btw do you know what's up with the guy who will max your IVs with a bottle cap. I read online that this doesn't actually do anything to the math, it will just increase the numbers on he stats page without doing anything. Is that true?

It raises the stats themselves but not the actual Individual Values so you can't use them to breed for IVs.

Evil Eagle

Battle spot lowers you to 50 but doesn't level you up to 50 if you're below it. I forfeited my first battle because of that.

There's apparently some kind of bug/issue with saving in Pokémon Centers or the Battle Tree. My last save was in a PMC, I hope that it's OK.
