I would be literally the opposite of mad to run into a shiny gible

Though honestly at this point I'd take literally any shiny, the only one I've ever seen was in GSC and it was a self-destructing graveler.

I got wondertraded a shiny Raichu once.

I retraded it basically immediately.

I got this for a Ratatta on GTS.


One could argue that hacked shinies undermine the specialness of shinies in general.

That being said, I do appreciate the hacked 6IV shiny Ditto named "KimKardashian" that I got from wondertrade. While I technically don't rely on it for all my breeding, it's a godsend for genderless Pokémon.

I once was wonder traded a level 100 shiny Sawsbuck named NHLFAN2012 or something goofy like that. I kept it out of respect for the generator's apparent HOCKEY FIGHTING SPIRIT and his frankly strange choice in critters to fake.

Wouldn't it be easier to implement pokemon following you around now a days? Just have a generic walk cycle for each 'major' body type (biped, quadruped, bouncing, etc) which would work for nearly every pokemon in the game. Flying types would just use their battle animation and glide behind you.

I don't mind hacked pokemon, but if you hack a pokemon in such a way that it is impossible instead of just highly improbable, then I will be disgusted by how little you care.

If I received a hacked shiny in wonder trade, I'd send that fucker off into the wild to either die an abomination or pass on its genes as a missing link between Charmander and weird yellow-tinted Charmander.

In HGSS I once asked someone for any pokemon with active pokerus. I ended up with a Shaymin, which I can only assume was hacked and which I released as soon as it had done its job

If people want to hack pokemon to fight. That's fine. I use a hacked ditto for my pokemon breeding to speed up the process. That being said breeding is now only going to be for abilities, natures, and egg moves - which it should have been in the first place. The whole breeding process is pretty messed up. Most of my pokemon in the bank are breeding rejects and 4,5,6 IV pokemon who i have for future trades. Like Volcanion, and Hoopa - the only Pokemon I'm missing.

Hacked pokerus shinies are great, I've been trading them for legendaries on the GTS when I get them in a wonder trade.

yeah, if people just make them be possibly legit its cool by me but hacking in impossible stuff is just boring

oh cool a shiny mewtwo caught at lv100 on route 3 in a dream ball i can totally use this for absolutely nothing ever. like if you want to just make those for yourself its fine but sending them out on the GTS isnt impressing anyone its just dumb


but bypassing a bunch of breeding and grinding stuff is fine by me, who cares if its hacked as long as its legal

Come again? I know you're not suggesting that Pokemon Go is anything like being able to play Snap and be able to catch and raise something you see there, because then you'd need to be committed.

I feel bad for my hacked Pokemon. I effed something up when I made them so the online server catches them. Oh and I regret not making Impossible Fuckers to cheese the Maison with because sometimes you just want a shitload of BP without having to try very hard. Kinda cracks me up when people talk about being mad to receive one though. Just do what that person did and pass it on, eventually it'll blow some 8 year old's mind.

With the AR enabled, and you take pictures, then you can catch them, and level them up.... The only thing you can't do at the moment is teach them new moves. So, I can see how Pokémon Go is like Snap.

If u could only use mons native to a particular region (like hoenn gardevoir is good but alakazam is not even if abra is catchable in hoenn) which region would you use

Unova is probably best competitively, but I think hoenn has my favorites design wise like swampert, and torkoal

You think Unova is the best competitively? I guess it depends on if you allow Mega-evos and Primal Reversions because if you allow them I'm pretty sure the best is Hoenn in a landslide with Kanto coming in second. If we're going Smogon OU rules, I'd still say Hoenn and Kanto are in strong consideration vs Unova because of all the good Mega-evos Unova doesn't have access to.

Regardless, I'm torn between Unova and Kalos. I'd probably go Kalos right now, just because Tyrantrum, Heliolisk, Hawlucha, Aegislash, Clawitzer, Goodra, Gogoat, Greninja...

Unova did have a lot of greats though; Scolipede, Volcarona, Leavanny, Galvantula, Gigalith, Archeops, Chandelure, Electross, Haxorus, Bisharp...

Johto might have been up there, since I love Tyranitar, Scizor and Heracross. Buuuuut basically nothing else except Forretress.

This world only remembers the results!




Total shiny count between 9 games: 3, and one was a shiny Donphan in silver

The other two are a Beedrill and Mamoswine, both with trash natures


Plus like 5 hacked shiny Eevees from Soul Silver GTS

I was looking at some shinies and it's neat that the nidorans and nidorino/inas have this cool thing where they swap colors but then they hosed it up by making Nidoqueen green and I figure somebody wasn't paying attention that day

Someone at Gamefreak had a design they wanted to use probably.


Why is Audino the only Gen V pokemon to get one? Why did Glalie, Medicham and Banette get them?

Why did Beedrill get one and not Butterfree?

:shrug:

Also, Pidgeot was the worst of the 3-stage trashbirds while also being the iconic Gen 1 bird. Talonflame is amazing, Staraptor is legit good and Unfezant is at least decent (It gets Hypnosis which is kinda neat, and its attack is good).

Pidgeot was hot garbage.
