The level curve is kinda brutal in XY if you turn off the exp share, huh

It doesn't help that I'm spreading exp six ways among five pokemon, because Farfetch'd is such a worthless bird

Farfetch'd is the greatest. I have no idea why but Aerial Ace murders everything I put it against, he can fly me between cities, and he learned False Swipe so I don't paste every single wild mon

Go into neoncube folder, and then open neoncube.ini in notepad
There's a patch location thing and it ends in .html, change it to .txt.

Burmys don't appear in ORAS, so maybe that's just people trying to complete their Dexes.

I'm finally on Citadark Isle painfully close to completing my gen 3 living dexs in all 7 games. The question now is: Which pokemon do I affix aaaallll the ribbons to? I was thinking something like Butterfree or Jumpluff, but Typhlosion or Suicune would be more feasible as far as the battle tower is concerned, and I have no idea who would be easiest to complete all the contests with because I loving hate the contests.

Why did they make a gold ribbon for obtaining them all pre-gen 5?

My son just watched an episode where Serena won her third princess key and he got so excited and happy it made me tear up. And then she finds out her next phase of achieving her goal is the exact opposite direction of Ash's last gym badge, Ash puts his hand on her shoulder and says "There's no question, we're going to do your thing".

Man, what a loving great kid. gently caress the haters, I don't care if he doesn't win championships, he's the most solid dude in anime and a great role model. I think my wife and son and I are going to dress as Ash, Serena, and Frogadier for Halloween.

Oooh, tangela is in Colosseum and already has that ribbon. If I could force it through the battle tower in 3rd gen Tangrowth would be a contender for the gold ribbons.

If it has the moves for contests. Goddammit.

That's so cool. Ash sounds like he's becoming a pretty good dude. I haven't seen too many people hating on Ash for losing the finals. I've seen a lot of hate on Alain for being one hell of a Mary Sue.

Hrm, if you were to ask me I'd say Charizard is more the "Mary sue".(which I put in quotes since I think neither of them fits sever elements of the definition at all, such as being an author self insert or every character being in love with them, but I know what people mean)

What announcement do you speak of? Machamp can only learn Fissure in gen 1 and 2, and it can only have No Guard in generations 5 and up. Hyper Training doesn't have anything to do with hidden abilities, unless there's been a new announcement. Also, don't say things like "pure cancer."

Nintendo said that in the future you will be able to port friends from the Anniversary released Red/Blue/Yellow into Sun/Moon.

One of the main concerns was that there was no way to determine what IVs the Machamp would have.

But with Hyper Training that is no longer an issue

Camerupt is great. It gets a lot of great moves through level up, TMs, and DexNav (I used one with Earth Power). Don't worry too much about a 4x weakness. If you're not one to leave a Pokemon in against something it's weak to then it doesn't really matter.
