[3DS] Pokemon X & Pokemon Y

[JohnNiles]

I just picked up the new Zelda bundle and will be generating my friend code shortly. Anyone wanna check my safari type? :3

That rumor about safari makeup being determined by birthday and region had better not be true.

edit: gah, can't even remember my own router password. Never mind.

Instead of simply judging it to have outstanding potential, the judge should say something specialfor 6 31 IV pokemon, like:
"This Pokemon must have been born under a lucky star"
"This Pokemon is perfect in every way"
or something along those lines.

It's also male, so I can breed it with other pokemon in fairy and water 1 group.

That's cool.

I just hatched Flabebe 6IV 3 days ago but I can't breed it with anything except Ditto.

It has a wrong nature too...........At least, I can easily breed 5IV (to random a new nature) with it.

Not much surprise there because of Speed Boost.

It's been a while since I heard Smogon's name. Thought they died or something. Glad(?) to see them still at it.

If your router supports WPS, then you don't need the password since the 3DS supports Wi-Fi setup using it (just hold down the button for a few seconds, and then you can start the setup process on the 3DS ).

I heard it's based on your friend code, which would also make sense since the code is in 3 parts of four digits, and you get three pokemon per safari. So if the overall code determines type, and then the digits determine the Pokemon, then you could theoretically manipulate it if you knew how to manipulate the friend code.

It's only a month until Pokebank will be available and something has been bothering me for a while now.

I own Pokemon Black and Black 2, but they are German versions. When I wanted to transfer pokemon from SoulSilver (UK version) to Black, the pokeporter didn't recognize it and didn't work. I had to first trade my pokemon to platinum (GER) before transfer to Black (GER). After researching I found that the pokeporter was language locked.

Now I face a similar problem with the pokebank, I selected English when playing pokemon Y and my Black 2 is (still) German. But since X&Y can be played in multiple languages and you can wifi trade foreign pokemons, do you guys think it will be possible to transfer my German pokemon to the bank and take them out with my English Y game?

I must say, I'm pretty miffed at the clear favor given towards the female avatar in terms of trainer customization. Three times as many hair styles and clothing options. What the hell?

Has anyone got Shiny Greninja? If is cool I can trade it for my Fennekin hidden ability, thanks

[ImperialFlameGod8190]

it being based on friend code is not surprising but o well pokemon bank will make things interesting especially if items transfer over as well

They've already confirmed that they do not.

[JohnNiles]

Well, I confirmed my Zelda XL's safari type: Ground... with Wooper and Marowak???

-_-

*tosses DS out the window*

edit: I suppose I could try resetting to factory settings.

[Homura7]

Anyone with Ditto safari? I'm leaving my FC code here: 0087 - 2971 - 9910

I hear that the official tournaments (and ranking?) won't allow Pokemon from older games. Which is pretty interesting, because people are not allowed to use Pokemon from games that could be cheated on and RNGed.
On the other hand, that means you can't use stuff like move tutor moves like Trick or Counter as well as special moves like Tri Attack Togekiss or Metal Sound Zapdos.

No, that's just the first VGC tournament, which always limits Pokémon to the newest generation only for promotion.

[GDB]

Probably not just the first. From what I was reading, BW had a similar structure until B2W2 came out, so I'd expect this one to last until Z. That said, I'd be all for "caught or hatched in Kalos only" to remain a clause.

Just breeding for good IV pokemon, got my first shiny via breeding and it wasn't even using the Masuda method.
I have now gotten 4 shinys, 3 from safari 1 from breeding, in this game alone I have gotten more shinys than in Gen.2+ combined (excluding red Gyarados).
I've read on bulbapedia that the normal chance for shiny in Gen.6 is now doubled (1/4096), if Masuda method is still 5x more likely, is the chance now 1/819.2?

Bad news of the past 24 hours is a tool that allows one to view all the moves the opponent has and can even view the move they've chosen that turn.

This of course have resulted in mass panic and arguments on various Pokemon boards.

[GDB]

Huh? I'm not seeing talk of anything even remotely similar to that anywhere.

[C.A.]

If you know the program's name it will appear all over your google.

The creator is trying to bury it but its mediafire link is still around and the internet has already gotten their hands on it.

Has a release date for the pokebank or w/e been announced yet?
