    So the last (and only) Pokémon I played
    was Blue, on my beige DMG-1 over 13 years ago. I have no idea what anyone is talking about here and feel old.

    But now I'm roaming the starting forest in X with my Squirtle Froakie, scrappy underdog Pidgey and useless Kakuna I'm trying to level, and it's eerily familiar. Only now, I've got the adult wisdom and patience to realise buffs/debuffs are actually worth using.

    Has anyone else been similarly detached from the series for this long? It's kind of exciting going in so fresh.

    I'm in the same boat. It's super fun to be back like this!

    Awesome, glad I'm not the only one adjusting to concepts such as colour and diagonal movement.

    Wait...Remoraid evolves into Octillery? I never knew this. I always assumed they were both single-stage and I had just never played a game with Octillery in it. Probably because remoras and octopi have literally nothing to do with each other what the heck.

    That's Pokémon logic for you.

    I guess it's appropriate that I caught it in the same place as Clamperl.

    So I see when browsing GTS that some people want specific regions. I get it for like, you don't want your Pokemon to be named something you can't read or pronounce. But some also want from specific other regions. Is there some sort of benefit (besides the Pokemiles thing) to getting mons from across the ocean?

    You know I turned exp share back on and I've been using it to level a second team (well most of a second team, I still need Hawlucha to HM slave) while I meticulously catch em all. Now I can customize my team on the fly, which at least makes it feel more like the anime, where Ash and friends were constantly swapping dudes in and out.

    Hawlucha as an HM Slave? Boo.

    Hawlucha as a frontline murder machine is so much more fun.

    Anyone know where to get Flying Gems in bulk?

    Breeding with a foreign pokemon slightly increases your chance for a shiny.

    I felt bad about putting him on slave duty, but the dude really needs an evolution.

    The official team mates so far are Blaziken, Lucario, Gardevoir, Greninja, Doublade, Malamar, Hawlucha, while Malamar, Haunter, and Goomy are rising through the ranks.

    Glad someone posted that link to Serebii's Pokearth. I would have completely missed Skitty!

    Also, jesus I need help. Between Wonder Trading, having to track down every pokemon, and making occasional trips back to the forest to hunt for lightballs, I am going to probably be close to 30 hours before I hit the 2nd Gym. >.>

    I am going to be heading to gym 5 and my guys are around 31-41. My main 4 or so are in the very early 40s.

    Aw yea. Let the Scyther breeding begin! Well, I just wanted a non-50s one (that I got via GTS). Breeding breeding begins after I beat the game.

    Suggestions for a Scyther moveset?

    Is Scyther just not a viable option with his Scizor evolution? I always liked Scyther. :(

    PS. I am gonna have a ton of extra Scyther eggs if anyone wants one. Either PM or @ me in here and we can trade tomorrow.

    I can't really think of a Pokemon in the game that is better unevolved. I don't think it's a thing. Either way, Scyther benefits from the typing and the move pool, although his total stats add up, and Scyther is actually way faster.

    You can do chansey with the item that hikes its stats if its not evolved.

    And pikachu with a light orb.

    Chansey is way better than Scyther. It is even more durable than Blissey at the cost of not using Leftovers.

    I thought the consensus that while Pikachu with light orb slightly outdamaged Raichu, you could just have similar overall offense, better other stats, AND a non light orb item, making Raichu superior.

    But I did forget about Chansey.

  • Sangheili91Sangheili91 Registered User regular
    I spent an hour tonight in amie with Eevee, got my Sylveon. Ignoring how ridiculous it is that Sylveon will now cure itself of poison three times in a row, dodge every other attack, and land crits like nobody's business, it is an awesome Pokemon. I really like it. :)

    My current team consists of Sylveon, Furfrou, Frogadier, Venusaur, Amaura, and a Zubat who will become a Crobat and proceed to wreck faces. Venusaur may get switched out for something else eventually, but it sure is nice to have for those random multiplayer battles (Sleep Powder ftw!).

    Speaking of Scythers, when I get one he's totally going to be named Clamps in honour of his new mega.

    BAH. I have him at like 32 or so. I figured 35 any time. Tomorrow I will have my t-rex.

    First Scyther hatched. Naughty & Technician. I think I am going to look for an Adamant one.

    edit: Oh man. Maybe I want a Scizor after seeing that. Didn't know they had images of all the Megas (or maybe just known ones). Ok. New plan. Sciroz moveset? Ha.

    There's currently no real way to check IV's of the new 'mons right now? It doesn't matter, I just wanted to take a cursory look at this Tyrunt I just brought back from the dead.

    If you're okay with cursory, punch the stats into something like this (assuming it has no EVs yet).

    Guys, I can't stop thinking about game at work. I mastered Gen IV. Gen V soured me forever (or so I thought) when it ruined end game play by getting rid of automatic leveling to 100 for online PvP. But then they went and made a 3D Pokemon game. This is basically the game my 10 year old self thought should exist, because "they made Pokemon 3D for Nintendo 64, why can't they make a mainline game like that." It's basically the wish fulfillment of my 10 year old self.

    What is wrooooooooooong with me! (Also, Christ I feel old).

    Is there a way to see your poke's nature in battle? I'm trying to get a decent Yveltal, even though I'm probably never going to use him to battle, and going through the fight afterwards before checking its stats is tedious as all hell.

    So for anyone else trying to do something similar, this site will let you plug in values for the base stats, the poke's current stats, and spit out what the nature and IVs can be. Smogon has figured out the base stats for pretty much everything.

    On my sixth reset or so I got a modest Yveltal with IVs of 30-31/28-31/18-19/30-31/30-31/30-31
