A good bit over 300. Pretty good selection too.

Okay so lovely situation here. I gat the physical cart of Y and I pop it into the 3DS and it has the logo pop up and then I get this loving message that says "The SD card couldn't be recognized, please end the game an start again." I have tried ending the game and I checked the cart and there is no damage to it as far as I can tell, and my DS works fine because I just played Fire Emblem. so can anyone tell me what the hell.

I know it's been stated before but Wonder Trade is probably the most amazing thing done this gen, aside from making breeding easier. I just got a RockHead Adamant Aerodactyl with perfect attack and speed IVs, above average IVs for the rest. Why would you trade that away? At least I traded him an Adaptability Eevee really good IVs all around so I don't feel like a dick.

Does...does this game know what Gyms are? Y'know, places where you get badges? It feels like it's been forever since I got the Bug Badge. I swear all three of my current team members are going to hit their final forms before the second gym ever shows up.

I'm 99% certain that you can do exactly that. Also it's not that hard to get what you're looking for in the trading thread, most people are happy to give you whatever or just help you trade back and forth for trade evos.

I think it's just safe to say that IVs are complicated and maybe kind of bullshit at this point.

If you still think IVs are complicated after this gen then I don't know what to tell you. They were not ever really that complicated, just time consuming because you didn't really have a reliable way to pass them down. Now with the Destiny Knot its so easy.

Does anybody have any good replacement ideas for Rotom-W, he really doesn't pull his weight but I need someone to off set the Dark weakness I have and I can't think of anything better. My main concern is Hydreigon and Greninja who are too fast for or bulky for Aegislash or Chandelure. I was thinking Scizor but that compounds my Fire weakness and I'm not really a fan to start with.

With Dittos, do they always act as the "mother" when breeding with another pokemon, meaning the children will always have whatever pokeball the ditto was caught in? I have Heart Gold and am curious if I can just use that to get every one of the apricorn pokeballs into X/Y when Pokebank opens up.

If you breed a ditto with a male pokemon the Ditto will act as the female so in that scenario yes, if you breed a female with a ditto it will act as a male and the female will pass down its pokeball.

There's serious 4MSS on most ubers mons, and poor distribution among the fatlards of the tier. Mewtwo and Yveltal are the main taunt users but usually don't have the bulk to survive a switch-in and they're both fairly weak against Ho-oh.

Skarmory is one of the better taunters in the tier although Skarmory has pretty bad 4MSS in ubers too.

Oh okay I guess that makes sense. I've never played in Ubers because it never really caught my fancy, the choice of viable mons seems to be fairly low which is never really fun for me.
