Not gonna get all conspiracy or "the leakers are all fake!" on you, but I'm not sure why you're expecting Nintendo to be absolutely incompetent. It wouldn't be too hard to manually adjust data that isn't revealed yet to prevent datamining like this, especially with something like an event 'mon. I doubt they'd go through that much effort for mega-evolutions though.

Yeah, as much as I hate to say it there is absolutely no way this game doesn't have some event mons given the number of them in the last three.

I was wondering whether everyone gets the same berries as everyone else in the main game. Here are the berries I've found so far (7 badges). Not including ones obtained through cross-pollination. Does this look unfamiliar to anyone?

I ask this because I'd otherwise have expected the game to give out all of the basic status-healing berries rather than just 2 of them, all of the type-damage-reducing berries rather than just 4, etc.

And the sheer number of weird poo poo that's locked off. The other two power plants, the second rail, the "strange souvenir" and the weird hex maniac "you are not the one" encounter. There's clearly some secret poo poo they're really keeping wrapped up. Hell, for all we know it'll just be patched in via update during a mystery gift just to keep us from mining the info at all.

By fishing with the Super Rod you can get Basculin, Poliwhirl, and (very, VERY rarely) Poliwrath in Victory Road. I know this because I erroneously believed there to be Dragonair in the water there. :smith: I forget what you get through surfing.

This is false, Dragonair is found by fishing with the Super Rod on route 21 and nowhere else according to my pokedex.

Second region? At 1.7GB (and the possibility of DLC), we can only hope.

Yeah, that's always a distinct possibility. They'd have to have some version-checking for local play though, so you can't play a guy who has a Pokemon that doesn't exist in your game.

There's someone that gives you an Oran berry, but other than that I'm pretty sure those are the only ones I've seen.

I can't imagine that they'd program in a second region only to lock it off at launch.

Unless they're going to release it as DLC :unsmigghh:

(Seriously, though, there is no second region)

Yup, I'm pretty sure they did that with some other glitch. (The berry glitch in G/S? Maybe not..)

It does seem unlikely, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility if its sevii islands style of extra rather than a full loving region. There's enough evidence that it can't be fully discounted as a possibility.

Feebas/Milotic are waaaay up there on the list of "things people want". They're not available yet, I haven't heard of anyone's Friend Safari having them, and they aren't up on GTS.

Cottonee/Whimsicott's the same, I want one :(

Friend Safari's pretty trash, really. Most of the Pokemon in most people's Safaris are actually catchable in the base game. They're good for Hidden Abilities, but besides that.. :argh:

You just gotta keep on trying different codes. I've found great ones like Electrode, Corsola, Sawsbuck, and Tyrouge and getting hidden ability mons is pretty great. Some even include version exclusives (I found a Spiritzee in one even though I own X).

On the Pokemon Global Link they're having ranked battle "seasons", and you can see the top 10, people's win/loss stats etc. I'd really like to see the teams the top 10 are using but that stuff is set to private by default unfortunately. One of the ranked battle types is a special battle with rules that change each season. (The rules this season are that you have to use Kalos Pokemon)

I'm kind of thinking about trying to build a team for online play but all the talk about natures/EVs/IVs/breeding in this thread honestly makes it sound like such a pain.

There still aren't any Milotic or Feebas on GTS though. Must be pretty rare.


edit: Looks like the Global Link GTS page will show you what a Pokemon's typing is, which can be used for checking old Pokemon that aren't out yet:

I managed to find a Bold male Espurr with its hidden ability in a Friend Safari, and it turns out its two 31 IVs are HP and SpDef, so I'm gonna level the sucker up and find out if he gets anything worthwhile to use as a Prankster Meowstic since I like the design.

I love Friend Safari. I think it might be my favorite new feature, or maybe second to Super Training.
