General FAQ This is the FAQ that deals with questions not related to breeding or competitive battling. See the next post for the FAQ that deals with those topics. ----- I'd like to get into the games, but I haven't played a Pokémon game since <title> / for <number> years. Which is the best game for me to buy? In general, if you're looking to get back into the games (or get into them for the first time), it's always a good idea to go for the latest release. At the moment that means buying X or Y. The latest games generally are more polished, they have more Pokémon, and you'll be able to find more people playing them than you will the older games. As well as this, special events and distributions of special Pokémon are most likely to target the newest games. If you play X or Y and find that it still leaves you wanting more, you can always buy one of the Generation 5 games for another fix. (Start with Black or White if the story is particularly important to you, otherwise just go straight to Black 2 or White 2 as they have more features.) Would you like to read a short guide to playing Pokémon games, written for newcomers to the series? Go read this post. What differences are there between Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, and which should I buy? There are some Pokémon that are exclusive to Pokémon X and some that are exclusive to Pokémon Y (Serebii has a list), but since Internet trading is a thing, only the opposite version's mascot will be much of a challenge to get hold of. There are also some differences in the storyline, but they are trifling. I am thinking of playing through the game with this team: <list of 6 Pokémon>. Will that be viable? Short of playing with a team of 6 Magikarp, there is virtually no way to contrive a team that can't be used fairly easily to beat the single-player game. Use whatever you like the look of and have fun. Can I trade with goons? Can I battle with goons? We have a trading thread in Private Game Servers. You don't have to rigorously keep all trading-related discussion in there - if you end up arranging to trade in this thread that's all good - but if you're going to be coordinating many trades or offering/asking for lots of stuff, please do it in the dedicated thread; it's what it's there for. The trading thread also has a list of goon Friend Codes. We occasionally have goon tournaments, which are co-ordinated through the Goonleague thread. Usually these will be played using the games themselves over Wi-Fi, but occasionally they may be played using online simulators. Sometimes there may even be prizes. Generally a notification will get posted in this thread when sign-ups are open for an upcoming tournament. They will also be listed in the "current events" section in the first post. Of course, you can have one-off battles too. Just ask in that thread or in this one, or on the IRC, and I'm sure you'll get some interest. Oh yes, IRC. You can coordinate trades and battles in real-time through #pokegoons and #smogoff on SynIRC (irc.synirc.net). Of these, #pokegoons is the more "chatty" and social channel, and #smogoff is generally a bit more earnest and on-topic (but quieter). What other Pokémon games can I play if I've had my fill of the main series games? Pokémon Conquest is a strategy game which many goons have said they enjoyed. It is a crossover between Pokémon and a series of strategy games called Nobunaga's Ambition. There's also the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. The most recent title in the series is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. Beside these, there are a bunch of other spin-off games for various Nintendo systems, going back many years. I want to talk about the anime/the trading card game/my favourite Pokémon merchandise. Do we talk about that stuff here? You can talk about that stuff if you like. You probably won't get as much discussion as you will by talking about the games, but we are in the Games forum so there you are. I think there's a thread about the anime in ADTRW. There's a dedicated thread about the Trading Card Online game here.  Where is the Daycare Centre? It's on Route 7, which is to the west of Camphrier Town, the town after Lumiose City (the Paris stand-in). It's on the other side of a sleeping Snorlax; you have to go fetch an item to wake Snorlax up before you can reach Route 7 proper. What is the best place to get money in the game? First off, when battling NPCs to get money, always equip one of your battling Pokémon with the Amulet Coin (obtained from a room upstairs in the Parfum Palace - that's the big fancy palace you had to go visit to get the Poké Flute and wake up Snorlax). Second, always make use of the Prize Money O-Power, if you have it; this is given to you by Mr. Bonding when you speak to him in one of the hotels. There are two battling venues in the game that are particularly good for getting money. The better of the two is Restaurant Le Wow, the three-star restaurant on Hibernal Avenue in Lumiose City. You can access this part of the city after arriving back in Lumiose from the north, having beaten the first 4 Gyms. You may need to build up your "stylishness" by doing various activities around Lumiose before you will be allowed to dine at Le Wow. You can battle at Le Wow (or indeed any of the restaurants in Lumiose) as often as you wish. There are two downsides to eating at Le Wow:
What is the best place to get experience / the best way to level up my Pokémon in the game? As with battling for money, when you are battling NPC trainers for experience, there are some steps you should take as a matter of course. Firstly, you should always give one of the Pokémon you want to train your Lucky Egg (given to you by an NPC in the Coumarine City hotel). Secondly, you should always activate the Exp Points O-Power if you have it; this is given to you by Mr. Bonding when you speak to him in the Pokémon Centre in Anistar City. And of course, make sure the Exp. Share is turned on. Restaurant Le Wow and Sushi High Roller (both in Lumiose City) are good places to go for experience, but as remarked above you need money to get in and you have to sit through a sequence of battles rather than being able to choose exactly how long to carry on battling. The two are similar in terms of how much experience you get, but Restaurant Le Wow is much easier on the wallet. The main alternative (as with battling for money) is the Battle Chateau. The young ladies wearing kimono-like garments are the best trainers to battle for experience; they have teams of Audino (either two at level 35 or three at level 45), which give lots and lots of exp.  Can I transfer Pokémon from Generation 5 to my new Generation 6 game? Yes, but not from within the game. A separate 3DS app called Pokémon Box offers you storage for up to 3,000 Pokémon (100 boxes' worth) on Nintendo's servers. A sister app called Poké Transporter allows you to take Pokémon from your Generation 5 games and import them into Pokémon Box. (As with previous cross-generation transfers, this is one-way only; Pokémon can't be returned to a Generation 5 game once they have left.) Pokémon Bank also allows you to rapidly shuffle whole boxes of Pokémon between Generation 6 games that you own, if you want; the store of Pokémon is tied to your 3DS system rather than to your game. You have to be connected to the Internet to use it, though. Use of Pokémon Bank costs $5 a year. You can get a free Celebi for using the app (this is available until the end of September). $5? What?! That's outrageous! How can they justify making us pay for this functionality? Firstly, the fee is to allow Game Freak to maintain and improve the service over time (possibly over multiple generations of Pokémon games), without having to justify operating the service indefinitely at a loss. Secondly, $5 a year is a lot less (over, for example, the probable lifespan of the Generation 6 games) than the cost of a second (3)DS system on which to run the Generation 5 game from which you want to transfer Pokémon (even if DS and 3DS software could communicate easily, which they can't). Thirdly, with the money you spent on your Something Awful forums account you could have purchased two years' subscription to Pokémon Bank. If these points aren't enough to persuade you to chill out, then fine, but please don't post in the thread to whine about it, because we aren't interested in your tightfisted angst. Poké Transporter will only show me the Pokémon in my Box 1. Can't I transfer other boxes, or individual Pokémon from a box? Unfortunately, no. Poké Transporter will only allow you to transfer from Box 1, and it is all-or-nothing, so put any Pokémon you want to keep on your Generation 5 game in another box. On BW2 you can move multiple Pokémon at a time, which makes it less of a chore to move things to Box 1. On BW1 you don't have this convenience. You can however make things slightly faster by pressing select to toggle the mode that shows the box list to the right and suppresses the appearance of context menus; this lets you drag and drop Pokémon into Box 1 more quickly than you otherwise would be able to. Pokémon Bank is so slow! Can I really only move one Pokémon at a time? Press Start to cycle through three different selection modes. The available selection modes are essentially the same three as in BW2 and XY. How do I get my Celebi? You have to receive it using the "Pokémon Link" option on the main menu in Pokémon XY. The game may award you Poké Miles and/or Battle Points to be received in this way before it gives you your Celebi, however. You can only have one thing queued up to be received through Pokémon Link at once, so you'll need to go into the game and receive your Miles or BP before Pokémon Bank will give you your Celebi. Can I influence the Nature and/or IVs that my Celebi has? No. Is it possible to transfer Pokémon from a Generation 5 game to a Generation 6 game without using Pokémon Bank as an intermediary? No. Is it possible to transfer Pokémon from a Generation 4 game to a Generation 6 game without using a Generation 5 game as an intermediary? No. Will Pokémon transferred from Generation 5 using Poké Transporter be able to take items with them? No. If they are holding items, the items will be placed back in the player's bag (or lost, if the player already has 999 of that item in their bag). I have some Pokémon on my Generation 5 game that I suspect might be... umm... modified. Will I be able to transfer these to Generation 6 using Poké Transporter? Poké Transporter does perform hack checks, although they are not especially sophisticated. If your Pokémon was created or modified by means other than those available just using a DS, it might turn out that Poké Transporter will reject it. RNG'd and cloned Pokémon do not appear to be blocked. What will happen if I try to transfer Pokémon that are hacked or otherwise untrasferrable? Will Poké Transporter delete them? No. Poké Transporter will notify you that one or more of the Pokémon in the box cannot be transferred, and when it shows you the Pokémon to be transferred on the top screen it will omit the ones that won't be transferred. Those Pokémon will be left behind in Box 1. I heard that Nintendo are ending internet support for DS titles! Does that mean I won't be able to transport Pokémon from my Generation 5 games any more? No, it doesn't mean that. Nintendo is shutting down "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection", the service used by DS and DSi software when it connects to the internet. Poké Transporter is 3DS software that happens to read and write data on DSi carts. Poké Transporter will continue to work. But internet functionality programmed into the Generation 4 and 5 games themselves (the GTS, for example) will stop working.  How do I evolve Eevee into Sylveon? Eevee evolves into Sylveon upon levelling up provided two conditions are met: 1) it knows at least one Fairy-type move, 2) its Pokémon-Amie attributes have been raised beyond some threshold. Do I get anything for completing the Pokédex? Once you earn the "seen" status for all 450 Pokémon in the Kalos Pokédex*, you can get the Oval Charm from Prof. Sycamore at his laboratory in Lumiose City. This is a key item that slightly increases the rate at which Pokémon deposited in the Daycare Centre produce eggs. Once you earn the "owned" status for all non-event Pokémon in the game**, you can get the Shiny Charm, which is a key item that makes Pokémon you encounter a little bit more likely to be shiny. * You do not need to "see" Pokémon that are numbered 151 or higher in the Kalos Pokédex in which they appear. This means that you do not need to "see" Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, or Mewtwo. ** This means that you do not need to have "owned" Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, Phione, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, or Genesect, nor any Pokémon with a National Pokédex Number above 718; but you do need to have "owned" all other species of Pokémon. What berries can currently be obtained in the Generation 6 games? The following 48 varieties of berry can be obtained in-game at present: Status-healing berries: Aspear, Cheri, Chesto, Lum, Pecha, Persim, Rawst HP- and PP-healing berries: Leppa, Oran, Sitrus Rubbish berries that restore HP but may cause confusion: Aguav, Figy, Iapapa, Mago, Wiki Type-damage-reducing berries: Babiri, Charti, Chilan, Chople, Coba, Colbur, Haban, Kasib, Kebia, Occa, Passho, Payapa, Rindo, Roseli, Shuca, Tanga, Wacan, Yache EV-reducing berries: Grepa, Hondew, Kelpsy, Pomeg, Qualot, Tamato In-battle effect berries obtained through berry mutation: Apicot, Ganlon, Leichi, Petaya, Salac, Kee, Maranga Special in-battle effect berries from the Battle Maison: Lansat, Starf See here and here for more information on obtaining berries, and here (PNG image) for a comprehensive guide on berry planting and what you can use berries for. Lansat and Starf berries may be obtained by attaining long winning streaks in the Battle Maison... or you can just trade for them (of course, this applies for all currently available berries). Try asking in the IRC channel and someone may trade them to you.

Breeding/Competitive Battling FAQ This is the FAQ that deals with questions related to breeding or competitive battling. See the previous post for the FAQ that deals with other topics. NB. Some breeding-related topics are the subject of guides linked from the second post. ----- What is the "Masuda Method" and how does it work? The Masuda Method is a game mechanic that can be used to make it easier to get shiny Pokémon when breeding. It works like this: if the two Pokémon in the Daycare Centre are from savegames that are/were being played in different languages, then each egg produced will be significantly more likely to be shiny. That's it, there's nothing more to it than that. In Generation 5, Masuda Method Pokémon were six times more likely to be shiny than others. Some aspects to obtaining shiny Pokémon seem to have changed in Generation 6, but there is no particular reason at present to suppose that this figure has changed. Please note carefully the following points:
Every Pokémon posses an "ability", a special rule that allows them to break the normal rules of the game in some way during battle. (Some abilities have effects outside of battle too.) Some Pokémon have just one possible ability; others can have either of two different abilities. Most Pokémon also have a "hidden ability" (or "Dream World ability"), which is a semi-secret ability different to its ordinary ability or abilities. Pokémon with their hidden abilities are harder to find then Pokémon with their ordinary abilities. Hidden abilities were introduced in Generation 5, where they could for the most part only be obtained through playing in the Pokémon Dream World (hence "Dream World ability"). In Generation 5 it was possible to use a Pokémon with its hidden ability to breed more individuals with the hidden ability, but only if the original Pokémon was female. In Generation 6 this restriction has been relaxed, so male and genderless Pokémon can also pass down their hidden abilities (although they are less likely to do so than female Pokémon), which makes things a little bit easier. Pokémon with their hidden abilities can be obtained using Friend Safari after you have beaten the game. It is also possible that you will find them in the wild when you encounter a horde. When I breed using a Pokémon with its hidden ability, what is the probability that the ability will be passed down? If one of the parents is a female with its hidden ability, then it's 60%. Otherwise it is lower than that (20% I think). Can I breed hidden ability Pokémon using a Ditto with its hidden ability? No. Impostor Ditto are the same as any other Ditto for breeding purposes. What are some good places to EV train? Nugget Bridge has an article on the subject of EV training in XY. (If you do not know what EVs are, please see the question below.)  FIG. 1: The process of breeding. What does "STAB" mean? STAB stands for "same type attack bonus". It is a 50% boost to move power enjoyed by a Pokémon using an attacking move when the Pokémon's type (or one of its types) is the same as the move's type. For example, suppose a Water/Fire Pokémon were to use a Fire-type attacking move with a power of 100; then the effective base power would be 150. A pure Water-type Pokémon using the same move would get just the standard power of 100, on account of not being Fire-type. When talking about a Pokémon, the types on which it gets STAB are sometimes referred to as "its STABs", attacking moves of those types are sometimes referred to as "STAB moves", etc. What are "IVs", "EVs", and "Natures"? These are variables attached to your Pokémon that vary between individuals and affect their stats. The idea behind them is that they serve to make Pokémon different from one another, even when they are of the same species and at the same level. For example, one Pokémon might have higher Defense while another has higher Speed. You do not need to worry about these things in order to play and enjoy the single-player campaign. If you decide to get into competitive battling, on the other hand, you will probably benefit from an understanding of them. If this does not apply to you, then stop reading now. Out of IVs, EVs, and Natures, Natures have the greatest effect on a Pokémon's stats (usually), followed by EVs, with IVs being the least significant. However every little helps, so having a Pokémon with good IVs is better than having a Pokémon with bad IVs, provided it has the right Nature. A Pokémon's Nature and IVs cannot be changed, while its EVs may be changed at will. Here is a visual aid to help you understand the contributions to a Pokémon's stats made by base stats, Nature, EVs and IVs.  Natures: There are 25 different Natures. 20 of these cause one stat (but not HP; so one of Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed) to be increased by 10% and another to be decreased by 10%; the other 5 are "neutral" and leave the Pokémon's stats alone. A Pokémon's Nature may be viewed on its status screen. There is also an indication of the effects of its Nature on the out-of-battle stats screen; the name of the boosted stat (if any) will be tinted red, and the name of the reduced stat (if any) will be tinted blue. IVs and EVs: A Pokémon has an IV value (or just "an IV") and an EV value (or just "EVs") in each of the 6 stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed). Each of the Pokémon's IVs is a number between 0 and 31 (inclusive), and each of its EVs is a number between 0 and 255 (inclusive). However, a Pokémon's EVs may not add up to more than 510, which means that competitive players must carefully consider which stats to boost and by how much. The effects of IVs and EVs scale with a Pokémon's level, so that the effects are greatest once the Pokémon has reached level 100. Every Pokémon starts with all of its EVs set to zero. A Pokémon that you catch in the wild (or that is given to you by an NPC) will have a random Nature and random IVs; a Pokémon that you get from the Daycare Centre as an Egg will inherit some of its IVs from one or both parents, and may inherit its Nature from one of the parents as well. If you spend a considerable amount of time breeding (or if you cheat) then it is possible to obtain Pokémon with perfect IVs across the board, but it does not take all that much breeding to obtain Pokémon that are "good enough". Spending a lot of time breeding may yield better Pokémon, but is generally subject to rapidly diminishing returns. Influencing breeding is beyond the scope of this post; you will find extensive information elsewhere on the internet. (Some information that you find may be outdated, since various aspects of breeding have changed in the Generation 6 games. Look for guides that indicate that they have taken the Generation 6 changes into account.) The game does not explicitly tell you your Pokémon's precise EVs, but they may be viewed approximately through the Super Training interface; the Super Training screen will also expressly tell you if you have maxed out a Pokémon's EVs in a particular stat. The game tells you about your Pokémon's IVs only in very vague terms - a man in the Pokémon Centre in Kiloude City will tell you whether your Pokémon's IVs are generally low, middling or high, and which of its IVs is the highest (or all of the ones that are highest, if two or more are tied). He will also tell you if one of your Pokémon's IVs is particularly low. You will find extensive information on these mechanics elsewhere on the internet. It would be duplication of effort for me to explain more about them here. For more information than you wanted on stat calculations, you can see Bulbapedia's page on stats. Which hold items affect breeding, and how? First things first: when you breed two Pokémon together and neither is holding an item, the game decides the Nature and IVs of each egg as follows. The Nature is chosen randomly from among the 25 different possible Natures. Three of the six stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed) are chosen at random, and the egg's IV in each of those three stats will be inherited from the parents. Each one may be inherited from either parent; the game could take them all from one parent, or it could take two from one parent and one from the other. Each of the remaining three IVs is randomly generated, as though by rolling a 32-sided die. Not counting Incense, there are 8 hold items that have an effect on Pokémon breeding. They are:
Everstone causes the parent to pass its Nature down to the egg. That is, instead of having a randomly generated Nature, the egg will be guaranteed to have the same Nature as the parent holding the Everstone. (If each parent is holding an Everstone, then only one of them will work.) Destiny Knot causes five IVs to be passed down from the parents, instead of the usual three. Each of the five IVs to be passed down may come from either parent; they do not necessarily come from the parent holding the Destiny Knot. The sixth IV is randomly generated in the usual way. (If each parent is holding a Destiny Knot, then the second Destiny Knot has no effect.) A power item ensures that the parent holding it will pass down to the egg its IV in the corresponding stat. That is, the 3 (or 5, if the other parent is holding a Destiny Knot) stats passed down will always include the stat corresponding to the power item in use, and that stat will always come from the parent holding the power item. The other 2 (or 4) passed-down stats may come from either parent, and the remaining stats will still be randomly determined in the usual way. Important: If each parent is holding a power item, then only one of the two power items will work. This holds whether the parents are holding two of the same power item, or two different power items. Every time an egg is generated, the game will choose one of the two parents at random, and that parent's power item will work; the other parent will be treated as though it were not holding an item. (Its IV in the stat corresponding to the held power item may still be passed down by chance, assuming of course that the parents are not holding two of the same power item.) Each of these 8 items also has a use outside of breeding. The power items may be used for EV training Pokémon in the corresponding stat. The Everstone stops a Pokémon from trying to evolve. The Destiny Knot has an in-battle effect, but it's not a very good one and can safely be ignored in favour of virtually any other item with an in-battle effect. (It causes an opposing Pokémon that infatuates your Pokémon to likewise become infatuated.)  I see people using terms like "Ubers", "OU", etc. as categories for Pokémon. What do these terms mean? These terms refer to competitive tiers defined by Smogon, a website and community focussed on competitive Pokémon battling. The idea of using tiers is that if Pokémon battling were a free-for-all where anybody could bring whatever they liked, there would be some Pokémon that would be used by virtually everybody (powerful legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo, for example), and some that would never be used by anybody (for example Butterfree) because in comparison they are so weak. Organising Pokémon into tiers of similar strength allows people to agree to a match in which they are restricted to choosing only Pokémon from a certain tier (or from a weaker one), therefore creating an environment in which players have the opportunity to enjoy using Pokémon that would almost certainly doom them to losing against players just using the "big boys". The Smogon tiers are widely used even outside the Smogon community because they are a known standard and generally well-regarded as giving rise to balanced metagames. Of course, anybody can come up with their own scheme for organising Pokémon into tiers; Smogon's are just very widely recognised and seen as "the standard". In order from lowest to highest, Smogon's standard tiers are NU ("never used"), RU ("rarely used"), UU ("underused"), OU ("overused"), and Ubers. A Pokémon may be used in the tier in which it is categorised, or in any higher tier. So a Pokémon that is categorised in NU may be used in any Pokémon battle (that uses Smogon tiers as an organising principle), while a Pokémon that is categorised in Ubers may be used only in Ubers battles. Relatively few Pokémon are categorised as Uber; these Pokémon are sometimes referred to as "banned" (because they are banned from OU battles). Note that although Smogon's metagames are widely considered to be standard amongst battling enthusiasts, they are not recognised in any way by Nintendo/Game Freak, who have their own ideas about how to balance the tournaments they run. Note also that Smogon's community focusses almost exclusively on the 6v6 singles format (battles in which each player brings six level 100 Pokémon and fields one of them at a time), and their tiers reflect this. (Official Nintendo tournaments are generally doubles format, in which each player brings six Pokémon and then chooses four of them to battle with after seeing the other player's six; two Pokémon at a time are fielded by each player.) What is "Stealth Rock", and why do people talk about it so much? Stealth Rock (SR) is a Rock-type move that was introduced in Generation 4. It sets up an entry hazard, Stealth Rocks, on the opponent's side of the battlefield. An entry hazard is a battlefield condition that results in Pokémon switching in losing HP or being afflicted with a status condition. In the case of Stealth Rocks, a Pokémon takes Rock-typed damage equal to 1/8 of its max HP every time it switches in. In the context of competitive singles battles, where a great deal of switching occurs, this makes Stealth Rock a very strong move. Moreover, a lot of people resent SR because with the damage being Rock-typed, Pokémon that are weak to Rock take a large chunk of damage upon switching in. For example, Charizard (which suffers a 4× multiplier to Rock-type damage because its two types, Fire and Flying, are both weak against Rock) takes 1/2 of its max HP in damage every time it switches in. Because SR seriously dents the competitiveness of some Pokémon in competitive singles battling, it prompts a lot of discussion. Some people don't like the effect it has on the metagame, others reckon it's all right because it checks some Pokémon that would otherwise be overpowered, and still others think it's OK but could stand to be nerfed somewhat. Because Nintendo/Game Freak see doubles as the main format for competitive battling, and SR isn't nearly as prominent in doubles, it's sometimes speculated that they don't care too much about the effect that SR has on competitive singles battling. So there you go. This is the kind of esoteric poo poo that real-life Pokémon Masters™ talk about. NB. Some additional background and terminology: Stealth Rocks can be removed from the battlefield in a number of ways. The most common way to do it is through use of the move Rapid Spin, which is an attacking move that removes all entry hazards on the user's side of the field if it hits. Pokémon that make use of Rapid Spin are sometimes referred to as spinners. Because Rapid Spin is a Normal-type move and therefore doesn't hit Ghost-type Pokémon, a spinner may be thwarted by switching in a Ghost-type. This is referred to as spin-blocking.

Robo Reagan posted:Pokémon is a JRPG for the Nintendo 3DS. Unlike most RPGs though, in Pokémon your party members are cute (and sometimes not-so-cute) monsters that you caught, tamed, and trained to battle. Each Pokémon can learn a variety of skills (called moves) and has a special ability (a special rule or power which allows it to bend or break the normal rules of the game in some way). Different Pokémon species also have different strengths and weaknesses (some are physically stronger than others, for example, and some are faster or bulkier) and different elemental types (sending out a Fire-type Pokémon against a Water-type opponent is typically a no-no, for reasons anybody can probably understand). Good thing they explained this because I have been living in a literal cave for the past twenty years subsisting on a combination of cave lichen and animal dropping.
