I love pretty much all gen V Pokemon

But every gen V legendary can gently caress off and die

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

Hey I'm a big dummy and didn't realize that Victini only ran until the 24th. Can anyone hook me up? I also still need a Celebi but I imagine that's going to be harder to swing.

Hey for all y'all who don't have access to a GameStop to score a Volcanion I have at least one extra code (can probably snatch a few more today)

Ideally, I would like to exchange it for one of the three remaining Pokémon I need for my living dex:
Celebi
Victini
Diancie

But worst case I'll just let it go

But uh if you'd be willing to trade off one of those 'mons for the code that'd be rad. Shoot me a pm and we can put something together maybe tonight.

So my living pokedex is currently short 3 total pokemans:
1. genesect
2. Meloetta
3. Diancie

The first two are simple since there's giveaways for the rest of the year

Diancie is harder though. My best idea right now is to snag an extra Genesect day 1 and hop on the GTS before all the Diancies up for trade for Genesects? I could also bank maybe one extra Volcanion and lost that on the GTS and hope for good fortune

I just wanna finish my pokedex man

Not right away. You'll be able to do a one way transfer through the bank in January, much like how Gen VI had that brief period of exclusivity before you could transfer up from Gen V.

My understanding is that Pokebank will still work with gen vii pokemon, just that once a gen vi Pokémon has gotten some Alola stank on it you can't send it back to Gen VI but the bank will continue to be standard from here out.

Is there a chance they're doing a total rebalance on all Pokémon for gen VII? So these dudes look slow compared to gen VI and down but that's because we don't have their info yet?

Or is everything in gen vii a beautifully designed garbage rear end in a top hat monster

Kanto and Jhoto are the actual Kanto region in Japan (Tokyo is Saffron City)

Hoenn is the Kyushu region (most southern Japanese island)

Sinnoh is Hokkaido (most northern Japanese island)

Unova is New York and New Jersey

Kalos is France

Alola is Hawaii

Pokemon Ranger and any other side game that's part of the main universe also used smaller areas of the Japanese map.

The real world political lines exist, just Pokefied. Plus the game is played through the eyes of an 11 year old kid.

Don't forget about India and the United States of America as actual canon places

I'm on Exeggutor island, it is raining, I have used an adrenaline orb, and I'm killing each exeggcute after it calls for help, then killing the next one after it calls for help

Am I doing this right? I should see a castform at some point, right?

How do you even get Castform? Just find a route where there is a weather effect, then chain an SOS fight until one of the help calls is a Castform? I need a good trade fodder for completing my living dex. Maraenie was working up until I started asking for really rare stuff.

I just flew around until I found a route where it was raining


And now I'm a solid 40 exeggcutes deep with no sign of the bastarc
