    oh okay.. well i still went and slathered four trees with honey :\

    its cool, now u got some honey tree-pokemon to have!

    UPDATE: my first gible egg was female, and i just collected the egg from that gible and torterra, so here's hoping for some earthquake action...

    damn! the second is female too!!

    me wants D:<

    i feel like a mad scientist, cuz it worked! i got little EQ gible's running around!

    hey if u want one, ill trade u one real quick, im adding ur FC now.

    Did you still have any Earthquaking Gibles? I have a female Combee for you if you do.

    I sure as hell do!!

    the natures arent anything to shake a stick at, but u can always breed for a better one (which is what i plan on doing)

    does anyone need slugma's? magcargo and ditto wouldnt stop sexing.

    I could use one. Anything in particular you want for it? Offhand, I've only got shieldons, lileeps, an aerodactyl, and I think I have fossils of the other two first gen that I can revive.

    aerodactyl will do, ill add ur FC as well.

    wait, are we talking EQ gible or slugma?

    I was giving away Earthquaking Gibles in the wifi thread (sorry, shameless plug) a couple of days ago. I still have an entire box full of them; if you can't get one in the next few hours I will hook you up when I get home.

    Hm, I'm at 85 hours. 6 and a half hours per day for almost two weeks. Can't remember I played a game at that rate for that long after it came out. And there's no end in site really.

    Also, for Vespiquen, Attack Order/Heal Order/Confuse Ray/Toxic or Attack Order/Heal Order/Confuse Ray/Defend Order? Defend Order make her the staller I see a lot of people doing with her, but I like the idea of confusing and poisoning with her, the just healing as I need to. I dunno.

    No, the union room is for local area wireless. For intrawebs stuff you have to go to the basement.

    So, um.. just starting. Which is the best starter? In every game I've taken the Fire Starter, but I'm wondering if picking the water starter would be more beneficial for when I finally build up my online team, considering I've got a Charizard and Blaziken to bring over/breed once the main game is complete.

    Thoughts?

    ya, did u add my FC? cuz that will be a major problem.

    if all goes well when u connect, u should see a little menu with "Invite" and "Disconnect" on it.

    When we are both on at the same time, it will show each other's name on the respective list.

    And thank you, I love my new ugly little earthquaking land shark! I got a female Japanese Combee in trade for one of my kajillion Riolu. When I bred I got more females than males. As you could see, I'm currently EXP Share'ing another of the females to get my Vespiqueen.

    Pick your starter based on what you want to use for the single-player. It's no trouble at all to get the other starters from other players when you want to start team building.

    Speaking of trades, anyone want a Riolu with Crunch? Evil Scientist genetics experimenting is fun but I can't bring myself to be quite evil enough to just make them and let them go.

    Then again, maybe it's more evil to keep them in a computer box... :(

    As much as I love my Torterra, both games have a very obscene lack of Fire Type Pokemon before the National Pokedex is obtained - in fact, Ponyta is the only one. I have contemplated starting over with a Chimchar myself just to see if I can do better.

    it's ridiculous how neglected the fire types are. There's not many to choose from to begin with, then they only added 3 new ones this generation. 1 of those is the obligatory starter, one is a legendary, and one is just another evolution to an existing fire type, so it hardly counts. Fire has one of the worst spreads of dual types, too. There's fire/flying, fire/rock, fire/ground, and fire/fighting. Wowee.


    Also, Sonos, I hate to break this to you, but that's not a shiny. The shellos on the west side of Mt. Coronet are pink and the ones on the east side are blue.
