Get items online to transfer to your game like revives and rare candies and vitamins

You can also spend them in-game at an NPC but the prices are double what they are online.

The Arceus distribution says "With a special flute, Arceus could be encountered in the Hall of Origin in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl." Why are Nintendo allowed to spread these lies?

Because they are a pokemon that exists.

gen 6 is very badly coded

There are a weird number of abilities that are 'another ability but way worse'

Guts vs Toxic Boost, Thick Fat vs Heatproof, Dry Skin vs Water Absorb, Storm Drain/Justified vs Lightning Rod/Sap Sipper/Flash Fire, Early Bird vs. Vital Spirit/Insomnia

Isn't Storm Drain identical to Lightning Rod but for Water instead? And arguably Heatproof is just worse than Flash Fire unless you're doing something crazy like Heatproof Weakness Policy Bronzong.

Thought I remembered something else working like Justified, must have been thinking of the items like Cell Battery. Rattled does but that's it.

What I dislike the most in Pokemon is the weird divide between status effects and almost, but not quite, status effects like Confusion, Attraction etc.

The ones that stick are physical ailments, the ones that don't are mental. Easy!

Qwfish is actually good in a low tier for being surprisingly bulky with intimidate and spreading hazards for days as well as absorbing t-spikes.

Yeah, I haven't kept up with the show other than seeing the league final because of hype but this is along the lines of what I've been hearing. Apparently the Team Flare conflict is supposed to be the resolution to all this rather than the Pokemon League which is kinda weird since the league is usually the last big thing that wraps up the main story.

Well they hosed up BW hard so I guess they want to do the surprise team plot right. With a shittier team.

Tangela. Like what even is the point of it? What is it? Easily the most forgettable Pokemon in gen 1, like it's a gen 2 quality design. Catch it, box it, forget about it until Tangrowth comes along a decade later and becomes good a few years after that.

They show up way more often for fully-trained pokemon. I think they mostly come from hitting the empty bag.

There's no seasons in gen 6. Deerling and Sawsbuck retain whatever season they had when they were transferred and can pass it on through breeding. All wild Deerling and Sawsbuck in gen 6 will be permanently Spring.

Honestly, they should just remove the whole IV system. There is already more than enough variety with over 700 species of Pokemon and a bunch of different moves and natures they can have.

If they got rid of IVs or made it so all Pokemon's IVs are automatically 31, cheating would practically vanish overnight. It's kinda like prohibition. People are going to drink alcohol whether it's legal or not. If you can't beat em, join em. That said, Nintendo is a Japanese company and they are always super stubborn. IVs made sense when the Internet wasn't a very big thing and nobody expected actual Pokemon competition. They will clutch onto that 20-year old game design for dear life.


I know, right? Nintendo is really, really bad at making actual competitive games. There's another Nintendo game series out there that people like to pretend is a serious competitive game, but I dare not mention its name because it's huge a can of worms. You all know what I am referring to, though.

Yeah gently caress F-Zero.

The Victini that is now available does not know V-Create. Bulbapedia claims that there was a Japan-only serial code giveaway of Victinis with V-Create. I wonder if gen 7 will allow it to be tutored or something, or it will remain an event-exclusive move.

This matters, of course, because I got to decide what nature I want mine to have.

Why would Victini get Rayquaza's signature move?

Is ditto the mother in breeding? So if you used a master ball on one you could have most Pokemon inside a master ball?

Ditto isn't the mother for anything in breeding where it matters, and what Bongo Bill said.

Nah, the evil scientist that controls the laser doesn't even fire the laser until you come along so he can be a dick and give you an option of two buttons that do the same thing of firing the death laser.

excuse me he does give you a legitimate option, one of them turns the death laser off
