Personally, I find that Linoone makes for a decent non-Frisk "thief" as it could learn Covet and Switcharoo naturally and Thief via TM. But I'm pretty oldschool so there might be better out there

[Cerol Lenslens]

You know what would be interesting but they can never do now?

If they got rid of the whole Shiny system and instead replaced it with a system so "Shiny" pokemon can be any color or any multitude of colors.

I think the closest we've seen to that was the old Stadium games, in which, IIRC, your pokemon would be one of a number of shades of its colors. So a Pikachu could be canary yellow, or orangish-yellow, or pale yellow, depending on its name.

But I dunno why they couldn't introduce a 'multiple shiny variants' system. Just replace the shiny bit with a byte, and assign new palettes/skins to the different >1 values. (With 0 being the original non-shiny palette, and 1 being the original shiny palette, so traded-up pokemon would retain their colors.)

[Neonivek]

It makes sense if you think of Pokémon like a collectable card game.

You are messing over people who have Shinys because now you have better shiny pokemon

I beat the game last night (Sun, specifically.) Pretty good game.

Holy frig was that a bittersweet ending. I honestly felt really sad about Lillie leaving, not in the least because I swear she had a crush on male!MC and Hau obviously had one on her.

Was anybody else surprised by Gladion's development? I was expecting him to be a goffick Silver clone, but he was actually a pretty good and surprisingly deep character (by Pokémon standards, anyway ).

They really do help Gladion develop in a nice way, though I wish they would at some point change his battle animations.

He looks so very, very distraught when losing that it makes him look really silly trying to be nice.

Yeah, it's pretty likely has feelings for the male player. Take a look at her diary in Kukui's lab's loft. I'm not sure at what point in the game it becomes readable, but at some point the Murkrow in the lab pecks off the lock.

Finally got the IV judger. I've got some interesting stats on some of them. The chart for my Raichu looks like a lightning bolt - while funny, his stats are terrible. The Wishiwashi I've been building up has pretty good IVs, while my Silvally has incredible IVs. I've also got a Goldeen with high IVs, and a Carbink with solid defenses.

Is the Battle Bond Greninja acquired from the demo version breedable? I left it in the nursery for a while with Ditto and nothing happened.

I've heard no, something about a flag they found in the datamine. What dialog do you get from the daycare lady? If it's "They don't seem to like playing together, though." they won't ever breed.

I should really transfer my stuff from the demo...not that I need Greninja, since I'm already up to my ears in water types, and I've been trying to avoid using guys from my team in X&Y.

I almost think that Lillie crushes on the PC regardless of gender. She seemed quite impressed by Olivia's Z-pose, I remember that she got along quite well with some of the female captains and Hapu. It's possible that she's bi.

Not having played as a female PC however, I have no idea how likely this is.

Gee thanks, Ash. You sent over a really neat fully-evolved Pokemon, but you neutered it first. In a setting where breeding is kind of a big thing.


The only thing I've found so far that suggests preparation for PokeBank transfers from Gen VI is a guy in the desert asking for Solrock/Lunatone in Sun/Moon(respectively). He doesn't name them specifically, saying "Sol"/"Luna", and he does react to you bringing him Solgaleo or Lunala.

[KoE]

It also doesn't seem like anyone wants to trade version-exclusive Ultra Beats. I've had a Kartana up for trade for couple of days now for Celesteela, but nobody's taking. I took it off the GTS and gave it a Pearl String to see if that will entice anyone.

I'm a page and a few days late, but it's in everyones interests to know;

Sun gets 2 Buzzwole and 4 Kartanas. Moon gets 4 Pheromosa and 2 Celesteela. I thought this was to continue being cute with numbers, but the pattern by Pokedex order is 1:2:4:2:2:4:1. Actually a quick Google search indicates 1242421 is prime (and a satisfying palindrome), but 1242241 is also a multiplication of 5 primes.

But yeah, the gist is that despite type similarities, the fair trade is Buzzwole <> Celesteela and Kartana <> Pheromosa.

[Akura]

That's okay, it eventually traded for Celesteela. Didn't take long for someone to swap a Gible for a Beldum I bred.

Both of Gible and Beldum are extremely popular on Wonder Trade too. Out of all the not-crapmons I get on there, Gible, Beldum and Abra would be the most common, with Bagon being not far off.

[Sirus]

Abra is not-crap? That seems to be the most common thing I get in the Wonder Trade, and I basically stopped bothering to raise them when I evolved one into Kadabra and it didn't learn any attack moves for several levels.

Alakazam is one of the better Psychic types, with base 135 spatk and 120 speed. Its spdef is not bad at base 95, and it has access to a mega evolution that hits like a truck with 175 spatk and 150 speed, ie. the highest non-legendary special attack, with only Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Rayquaza, Primal Kyogre, and Attack Forme Deoxys having higher stats. and its speed is nearly the highest, fifth after Deoxys Speed Forme, Ninjask, Pheromosa and Deoxys Attack Forme.

It's been reliably high tier and a very hard hitter since generation 1.

two words:
Syncronize Ability
In-game if syncronize is the ability of lead-pokemon(even if fainted) it makes it a 50% chance of the wild having the same nature as the Abra, good for nature farming for purposes pertaining to breeding.
Any Syncronizer of a non-neutral nature is "not-crap". and any Female Neutral Nature Synchro Abra means higher chance of baby with synchronize and better nature.

any inner-focus ones are useless in this regard though, unless you wanna waste an ability capsule.
