The Pokémon Thread

I was replaying Omega Ruby as I've said before probably, but I really hated my save file. So I set out to pimp it out with my Power Saves, but it wouldn't work. I saw that I had a backup of my previous save file, so I just restored it. Now I'm back to playing the hack Volt White.

anything new with powersaves lately?

Wow Awesome. You're the first one I've heard who have successfully won the Grand Prize in the Lottery.

Kudos man, Kudos.

So, uh...

I recently downloaded a siterip of a Pokémon adult art site.

I...was not aware people had that much of a fetish for Skitty and Ampharos.

Related, boobs.




What didn't work about it? I remember trying another playthrough starting with legendary Pokémon and a bunch of awesome items and everything seemed to work fine for me.

---

Skitty's been a thing for a while but I've never seen much of Ampharos. Strangest one I've ever seen though was definitely Crobat.

It's not so much seeing Skitty that shocked me as much as the volume of Skitty stuff in the pack, which tells me that there is apparently a very high demand for Skitty porn.

Also, the pack included a picture of Crobat. They made it look humanoid though, so she looked pretty good.

Just a quick reminder that the Diancie Event is live.

Been restarting to get some decent IVs/Nature on Diancie and I rolled some IVs I'm pretty happy with.



Problem is its Hasty Nature, which kills its Defense. Should I keep rolling for a better Nature, or stick with these IVs? Keep in mind, I'm thinking with more of a Sp.Atk build in mind.

---

You should always prioritize Nature as that can benefit the overall stats. No point in keeping a 31 IV stat when the nature cripples said stat.

I got around to capturing Lugia to obtain the Legendary Gerbils. I remembered that Entei was given Extreme Speed and Flare Blitz, but didn't realize that it was only for the event pokemon from White/Black. Entei still sucks hhahahaha. One less pokemon to Soft Reset for.

---

I've actually wondered about that recently; nature over IV's, or IV's over nature. Is this pretty much the consensus?

A part of me hates being aware of all these extra mechanics because the game was so much easier when I just used whatever, and just getting a Pokémon was often more thrilling that worrying about its stats. I have nearly an entire box full of Eevee's because I was trying to get good ones to complete a nice set of Eeveelutions, when in previous games I know I'd just be happy to get one.

---

That's why I don't play Pokemon competitively. I tried an online competition once (the Eeveelution one from last summer), got my ass handed to me, and decided that I didn't really want to play competitively. I'm way more interested in completing the Pokedex.

Speaking of which, between OR and Y, I now have (nearly) every Legendary, thanks to a used copy of White I picked up recently. I even got a few more Mythical Pokemon from that copy (Keldeo, Jirachi, and Manaphy). And I traded the extra Legendaries that I got to get the ones I didn't have access to, specifically Lugia, Zapdos, Kyogre, and Xerneas. All that's left is the Regis, Heatran, Thundurus, Landorus, Zekrom, and Kyurem, all of which I have access to in either OR or White. As far as Mythical Pokemon, I still need Mew, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Meloetta, and Genesect.

I just won the Lilycove lottery again.

I just won a 1-in-100,000 chance Master Ball for a second time.

I don't even have a thing to use these on, but I have them.

---

Funnily, I think that X/Y's story basically justified this in suggesting that any real approach to interacting with Pokémon is valid, even just completing the Pokédex, or whatever.



I don't think I've ever gotten better than a two digit match, but at least the odds are better now than they were in Gen II when trading for lots of ID numbers was really difficult.

2 in a row! dang man that is awesome! Hey Howie are you going to answer my PM?

BTW I've succeeded in beating the Main portion of OR and now I'm in the middle of the Delta Episode.

Appended 8/13/15

I've completed Delta Episode and now I'm finished with Omega Ruby. Can't wait for Gen 7.

Anywho has anyone got the Shiny Rayquaza from the Mystery Gift via Internet? I've got mine.

I don't own OR/AS unfortunately. I was debating picking up a copy before going back to the US. I had to buy Y digitally (liked the convenience, but not the price).

---

I'm playing in the TCG world championships today!

I keep telling myself to try registering for one of these competitions but I never remember to.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.


Did some soft-resetting to get decent IVs for shiny Rayquaza. I was shooting for a Jolly Nature when I ended up getting an Adamant Ray with 20s and 30s across the board for its IVs.

WELP GUESS IM DOING AN ADAMANT BUILD NOW

i got a hoopa from the local game shop lol

---

I did reasonably well. 4 wins and 4 losses. I notably beat the Swedish national champion and lost to that of Argentina, and overall, I ended up as, officially, the 66th best Pokémon player in the world. Not bad, but it could've been better.

Congrats on 66th
66 out of ..?
