Pokemon X/Y General Thread

Hey guys, my sister found this while surfing tumblr; since the holidays are coming up and many of us are invested in breeding and/or Wonder Trading, I thought this might be something good to participate in (even if you only want to dump some pokemon, it's the thought that counts):

That's a nice idea... But I'm pretty sure kids DO care about shinnies haha

I certainly did when I was a kid playing silver >.>

Wonder trade them a Charizard!

It's level 100!

It keeps sleeping when you use it!

Just like in the cartoon!

[Thor Odinson]

lol

I do have a bullshit amount of pokemiles not getting used(I leave the 3ds on idle as I go around campus) so I can probably buy them some rare candies

[Pull My Devil Trigger]

That would be nice, but I don't think I'll be connecting on Christmas :/

[Gcubedude]

I'm probably gonna Wonder Trade some cool stuff on Christmas. I still have boxes of 3 IV Pokemon, so I'll probably level them up to about 15 or so, TM/HM them with the best moves, and Wonder Trade them away.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

just because i started using this motherfucker ;-;

[Redwall]

The ban doesn't affect anything outside the simulators, though, so you're still free to use it in Wi-Fi matches.

Yes, I know. But I don't find it very nice to use pokemon smogon considers OP on wi fi. That's the same reason why I dropped mega blaziken. Also, I was planning on using the team on showdown, and now I'll have to rebuild it.

I think Smogon's decisions are generally pretty spot on.

[Anacybele]

Ooh, Wonder Trading on Christmas day sounds fun. ^^

On another note, I caught a DRAGONAIR! And I was lucky too, I accidentally burned it when it was low on HP. But the first ball I threw at it got it. :D

[LuxSpes]

Why I really like the concept, it relies on one important factor: That the kids who received the game Wonder Trade. If not, we'll just have a bunch of people trading cool pokémons between them.

Gen V is open now!

Hope you like it!

[Anacybele]

So, I pretty much loaded up on dragons yesterday after the catching I did. I got Druddigon, Dragonite, and Hydreigon added to the Zygarde and Salamence I already had. lol

I just need to add Haxorus, Flygon, and Goodra to that collection and I'll have all of the Kalos dex dragons, I think.

[Sasori]

So wait? If your pokemon holding a weakness policy gets hit once with a super effective move from a wild pokemon it immediately gets rid of the item permanently?

Ugh back to that battle maison thing.

There are still Kingdra, Altaria, Garchomp, Tyrantrum, Noivern and Dragalge =P

But wow, you're really making progress on dex completion. My quest for that got stuck when I started breeding competitive pokemon...

Yeah... I learnt that the hard way too...

Actually, I did get a Kingdra. I forgot about Altaria, Garchomp, and Tyrantrum though. Didn't know Dragalge was Dragon-type. :P

But yes, I am making progress! I've gotten 125 different Pokemon now, I think. Close to that, at least.

Uh

the dragon e-4 lady has it

that kind of should have made it obvious...

[Pull My Devil Trigger]

She wouldn't be the first one to use a pokemon that isn't exactly of the type she uses

[Anacybele]

What Tonton said. Lance used Charizard and Gyarados, and neither of them are Dragon type. xP

[Chocolate Kitty]

except the entire E4 has one main type in X/Y that they stick to(pretty sure every E4 member except birdtrainer lance does this)

so

:E

[Anacybele]

I still wasn't sure about Dragalge's type. You don't have to take me for stupid for it. Geez.

[Sylphid]

The first generation of pokemon ran rampart with these actually. Each E4 member in those games had opkemon outside their type specialization (Lorelei's Slowbro, Bruno's Onix, Agatha's Arbok and Golbat and Lance was already mentioned).

I'm pretty sure in Gold/Silver the Dark-specialist had something else than Murkrows and Houndooms too. She at least had a Vileplume, if I'm not wrong.

There have been some random E4 members in later games too, like Sinnoh's Fire-specialist with the whole two Fire-type pokemon in D/P...

B/W might actually have been the first generation where E4 members only have pokemon of one type...

[Pull My Devil Trigger]

I previous generations that was very common, I could just list them all, but here:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Elite_4

I'm glad they didn't do that with Gen V and VI, we have enough pokemon for a trainer to have 4-5 good pokemon of a same type.

Although one interesting fact, all of Agatha's pokemon were poison-type and two of them aren't Ghost, the type she supposedly specializes into :P
