Sidney seems to have a watch/bracelet on his wrist that he doesn't wear in Gen III. So I'm guessing it's a Mega Watch or something? Don't see something similar on Phoebe, but her left ankle is obscured, so who knows.

See that would be a great idea, but unless Pokeblocks are now Pokecakes, I don't see that happening.

Which is a shame. Contests are a great way to expand the general usefulness of Amie, of which is largely useless at the moment.

Seems likely to me, considering how they're presenting these 5 Pikachus with an accompanying Amie screenshot.

So does any of that say if only certain pokemon will get 3d dressup? This makes me very happy. More contests stuff and the dressup from like I think it was gen 4 in 3d now!

I mean that is what it is right? 3d dressup for contests?

They need to shoo that for stones, too. gently caress getting a Shiny or even a Thunder Stone now.

I just ditch all my bags every time I need to hatch eggs, then leave the lower screen on the super training as I bike in circles. Usually within a batch or two the bags fill up again with at least one reset bag among them.

Agreed. Going to the stone emporium is a super hassle (Thunder/Water/Fire/Leaf).

The Stone Emporium doesn't sell Thunderstones, dude.

And it is a mega hassle getting any of the other evolultion stones. Why can't we just buy Shiny, Dusk Stones, etc.?

Well, there's no way for you to get the Blazikenite and Cherish Ball Torchic again, but I can give you a Torchic with the HA if that's what you're after.

Because without having to play games, how will they know that we love them enough for them to evolve?

If there is a thing GameFreak is just learning, is the concept of convenience. Maybe in... lets say two generations more you will be able to.

You can combine a Kee and Maranga berry at the Lumiose Juice Shoppe to make an item that resets a Pokemon's EVs to 0! :eng101:

Unfortunately, growing those berries from scratch will take you a week of grinding in the Berry Fields. :eng99:

I have a powersave thing and can clone one with megastone for you (if it can be traded through wifi). I'm on IRC most of the time.

That's Aarune. He's an world traveler and an expert on secret bases. At some point he'll battle you with is Flygon. MegaFlygon confirmed.

I still find contests to be boring and unfun, but if you can have your pokemon wearing stupid outfits in the main game I'm in. I want Hawlucha to wear a luchador mask on top of it's luchador mask.

Was the gen 3 professor always fat?

Contests were boring and unfun because you couldn't easily play with other people. With the magic of the internet however, contests are gonna be great

In the Pokémon fan art community he is considered to be quite the DILF. Probably the most popular professor besides Oak and Sycamore.

Gen III contests were fun either way, the best side game in the series along with the Pokethlon. I don't care for multiplayer outside of RTS games so I won't be making use of that in ORAS, so I hope they keep it playable solo as well.

Nah, it's all about Hard Rock chu. She looks like she'll gently caress you up. You know what? I think that Pikachu is Notch-Eared getting time-fixed and finally becoming the monster it wants to be.

Distribution was stopped in January, but they're still in circulation.

Just breed or train something worth trading and I'm sure you'll find it.

If you're looking for a hidden ability Torchic, that's easy. If you're looking for a Blazikenite, some people have gathered extras.

Alternatively, wait until ORAS, when they will almost inevitably hand you a Blazikenite for free if you pick Torchic/have it available to buy in some rear end end of the game.

It's going to be for contests.

The old Contest stats were something like Cool, Tough, Cute, Beautiful and Smart and those costumes tie almost one for one to those stats.
