    I'm very proud of Tiranosaurio, though he hasn't done much yet.

    Man, how I miss that little animal :'(

    Good game!

    Using multiple Exp. Shares at once lets you train more things at the same time, but it doesn't increase your overall gain. Any time you are using an Exp. Share, all experience is split into two equal parts. One half is divided evenly between all Pokémon who participated in battle, and the other half is split evenly between all Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

    Ah, well in that case I guess I don't really need a second Exp Share.

    I assumed that the EXP that was gained through Exp share was always the full unsplit value that pokemon that actually fought get.

    Nope. The only way to get more experience than you're supposed to earn is to use traded Pokémon, who get a bonus to all experience.

    No, dude. I didn't use a choice scarf on it.

    I just thought that you might switch (but now that I think about it, WTF was I thinking?) and I knew my attack would still kill your paralized Poké. Then I just went with an SE attack.

    Right at the end there...

    I was hoping to get off an "explosive" finish. If your guy didn't have Life Orb I would have screwed myself.

    Wait, did someone call my Furret a reject while I was away? We shall not stand for this! Lucky is outraged! See her fury! It's small, so look close. Trust me, it's there.

    Darn, now I need to settle on which Pokemon is closest to a hamster, to create Boo.

    Meanwhile, the egg nature check trick- what you need to do is put the egg in your computer box, and make sure one of the next boxes to it has a Pokemon stored in the same place as the egg. You'll notice the little info window on that Pokemon will scroll and display its name, type, nature, ability, item, etc. If you swap to the box with the egg in it right as its getting ready to scroll to the next thing for the Pokemon, you will for a brief second see the information for the egg. The timing is a bit tricky, but it does work.

    You did name them 'Reject', Red. Perhaps a name change could inspire and motivate your Pokemon!

    But what else do you call a team that contains both Bastiodon AND Qwilfish?

    Yeah. Exactly.

    Team 'Gamefreak is obsessed with making a ground type wall that actually works (but doesn't) and also made a second water-poison type when they already had a zillion Tentacool in each and every Pokemon game ever made'?

    Focus Sash+Rain Dance+Explosion would work.

    I originally wanted to make a Bastiodon with something like Taunt, Metal Burst, Rest, and something else. Then I remembered those 4x Ground and Fighting weaknesses. Bad enough that Eremia and Dany both sport double weaknesses.

    This current project is sapping my will to live. I'm on the fifth generation of eggs, and they STILL SUCK. I have a mother with max HP and another stat it needs, and a father with max HP, eggs moves, and another stat at the max that they need. How hard is it to pass these bloody stats on. o_o HP especially. With both the mother and the father having 31 HP IVs, I still only get one or two with max HP per 18 or so that I breed. Nnnghghghggggh!

    Such is the frustrating life of the Pokemon breeder, Kay. Ask Chen how many Mudkips he went through. I recall it being a rather terrifyingly high amount. And then there's things like my Weavile, that picked up all the good IVs of its parents plus an extra high IV in its defense (not that it would help Weavile much, but hey, its there). My Weavile was the third egg I hatched, too.

    Being stuck in a waiting room most of today has been good for my team- both Zee and Iron Sheik are ready to make their debut now! Uh, assuming I can figure out where I put that one item for Iron Sheik. D'oh. Now I can work on even more Pokemon breeding projects! Woo.

    The majority of eggs (about 8 out of 9 eggs) will have 2 or 3 IVs transferred from the parents.

    HP and Defense IVs are harder to inherit from the parents than the other IVs. This is different from the other games (see RSFRLG IV breeding), where each IV has the same percentage of being transferred to the baby (16.67%). The percentages for Emerald (and DP) are as follows (considering also the fact that the random IVs generated for the baby can end up to be the same as that of one of the parent's IVs):

    HP: 8.02% chance of being inherited
    Atk: 19.55% chance of being inherited
    Def: 13.78% chance of being inherited
    SpAtk: 19.55% chance of being inherited
    SpDef: 19.55% chance of being inherited
    Speed: 19.55% chance of being inherited
