    Speaking of other mistakes on my part, at the Team Flare HQ an NPC asked if I was alone this time, referencing earlier when my designated friends had been around. I answered yes, causing the NPC to say "Oh, that's cold! Don't your Pokemon count for anything?"

    •reset•

    "OF COURSE I'M NOT ALONE! MY POKEMON ARE WITH ME!" I say forcefully to hide my shame.

    Haha, I made that mistake as well. I didn't reset; I just felt super guilty and gave my team extra poke-puffs.

    Hey @Matrias, would you happen to have any spare 4-IV or 5-IV female Tyrunts with Fire and Ice Fang left over? I've got a bunch of 4/5 IV stuff I could dig out in exchange.

    I got a tyrunt with Dragon Dance fire fang, thunder fang and poison fang if you need it.

    Crappy stats though.

    The only move Tyrantrum has in his learnset that can take advantage of his ability is Crunch, everything else has to bred on to him.

    Not sure what the hell Gamefreak was thinking there.

    If Tyrantrum is ever competitive it'll be for whenever they let players get at his hidden ability: Rock Head, spamming recoiless head smashes all day, errday.

    @Wyvern, I'm available for the next 10 minutes or so.

    It'll definitely be preferred, I like the ability though so it's still abit puzzling how they locked away abilities critical to it away from Tyrunt and Tyrantrum.

    Thanks to you too! I've been thinking about making a Choice Scarf Tyratrum as an alternative to Tyranitar for not insta-dying against Talonflame but I've been too lazy to get a decent female.

    Yeah, if there is one good thing about Tyrantrum it's that I never see Talonflame starters in everyone's 3v3 singles rotations. He can plant Stealth rock, too, which messes them up if they try to run.

    I don't understand why they made Umbreon's hidden ability Inner Focus. Anything else would have been more interesting. All the other Eeveelutions have interesting hidden abilities to the point where there's a bit more strategy in putting them into a team.

    My Riolu breeding project has finished, and I have a giant pile of 4 IV Riolu with a variety of abilities (Steadfast, Inner Focus, and Prankster). Most of them are Jolly, with a few exceptions from near the start of the project.

    If anyone would like to trade a 4 IV pokemon for a 4 IV Riolu (or a 5 IV pokemon for one of my few 5 IV Riolu), let me know what your request is and I'll see I can accommodate it.

    i have thick fat swinubs coming out of my goddamn orifices, it took me so damn long to breed them.
    i have like ~10 or so 3-4V thick fat swinubs of either gender
    i'm only online at the least convenient times for anyone, as Romantic Undead can attest, though.

    in other news, anyone have some ideas for the rest of my hideously unbalanced team?
    so far i've got Gyarados, Aegislash, and Mamoswine as my Singles team.
    what are some good complements to them? some good special attackers/defenders?

    Thats Garbodor. Quite possibly the most hated pokemon design from Gen V.

    I love him though. He doesn't do too well at anything other than taking hits while setting up status conditions and hazards but 9 times out of 10 I keep him in my battle box anyway.

    Looking for a battle.

  • Hexmage-PAHexmage-PA Registered User regular
    Updated my list of Pokemon X and Y mysteries:

    - The mysterious region we'll "see soon enough" and the Strange Souvenir.
    - The people in Lumiose who mention rumors of the Heat Dome pokemon (Heatran).
    - The so far unused race track above Route 22.
    - The so far unused railway in Couriway Town.
    - The Ghost Girl.
    - The Scary House important enough to be mentioned on the map and for the main storyline to take you to, but all it has so far is a man who tells you a story about "a horde of faceless men" and asks for a tip, later saying "some things are better off not being known".
    - The Anistar Sundial is said on the map to be rumored to have come from space, whereas an NPC says they heard it was created by ancient pokemon. Surely there's a greater purpose to it than just hunting for Mega Stones.
    - Where is the unknown forest and the unknown mountain where Team Flare found Xerneas and Yveltal? Maybe these places hold special items that can be used to trigger alternate forms for these Pokemon?
    - After beating Team Flare, the girl in the house where the man tells you the story about Xerneas/Yveltal says this: "I heard about the incident in Geosenge Town. They say that the strange group dressed in red managed to find Xerneas asleep somewhere. A few years back a different group of people came around here, asking the same questions." Who is this second group?
    - Why can't we enter the doors that seemingly lead to alternate Power Plant facilities? Does this have to do with the future event Pokemon?
    - The following message is hidden behind a timetable in Lumiose Station: "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place." What does this mean?
    - An NPC mentions that she has heard of a waterfall that flows backwards. Where's that?
    - The Legendary Birds eventually flee to the Sea Spirit's Den. Lugia is connected both to the Legendary Birds and the sea. Coincidence?
    - Personally, the Tower of Mastery seems too big and impressive considering how little a role it has in the game. Maybe DLC will expand its role?
    - The stack of tires in Pokemon Village seems fairly suspicious to me; I don't think anything like that appears anywhere else, unlike the garbage bins. I could be reading too much into this one.
    - I'm also certainly reading too much into this, but there's a graphical glitch in Lumiose that looks kind of like Missingo. It would be awesome if Gamefreak finally made it an official Pokemon (perhaps created due to a glitch in the computer system that stores spare Pokemon).
