Pokemon Megathread 2.0 (Ruby and Sapphire Remake Hype Station)

[lantzblades]

I'd prefer to swap by pm actually but thank you for the information kaiza. As for the games themselves. Anyone else with torchic find him really really over powered?

also what's with the lack of false swipe users? I've found like two scyther and Zangoose

[lantzblades]

Wonder trade is amazing and hilarious

[KAIZA]

Well, it's Torchic with its Hidden Ability plus a Mega Evolution, and since it counts as traded, it levels up faster. It's supposed to be broken (at least get it for the Blazikenite, though). The traded thing could act as a limiter, though; too many levels and it won't obey you.

Also, consecutive fishing. Lots and lots of consecutive fishing. The patience required to keep a perfect streak...on the other hand, I finally managed to catch enough shinies to trade for my missing legendaries. Now all that's left is to catch Zygarde and Moltres.

[lantzblades]

I'm using my Y as a nuzlocke copy and my X as an index slash breeding copy. So if anyone can help with the older Gen Pokemon that'd be great. Oh and Kaiza mind if I get your FC?

[KAIZA]

Well, for older Gen Pokemon not available in the game, you'll have to wait until they release Pokemon Bank and the PokeTransporter so we can actually bring our old Pokemon into the game.

Oh, and my FC is 4339-2727-9146.

[lantzblades]

Actually it would seem as long as you have a 3ds you can trade forward and I actually have black and white one and two and can get diamond and pearl as well as the Gen two remakes

[KAIZA]

Uh, no. They already announced it. Released December 31 with a free 30-day trial.

And it's only compatible with Black and White/Black 2 and White 2. So, for older than that, you have to transfer them to B/W(2) and then into the Bank. Then you can transfer them to X/Y.

[lantzblades]

Well Japan already has it then because I've seen X and Y trade requests for Pokemon that aren't available in the games like cyndiaquil mudkip, rhisram and the god what's it.

[KAIZA]

No, no, you got it wrong.
Just because you can't transfer them yet doesn't mean the data isn't in the game. Also remember that now you can ask for any Pokemon on the GTS, not just the ones you've seen.

Thus, you can look for them, or ask for them, but nobody will have them. They're basically impossible trades for now.

[lantzblades]

I can't seem to ask for anything not in game. I want a fucking cyndiaquil.

oh, I've never has pokerus before, someone what to explain how I spread it? I want all the double exps and be able to give the exps and effort to others

[KAIZA]

When selecting the Pokemon you want, at the bottom of the list, there should be an option that says "What Pokemon?". You write the name of the Pokemon you want. This way you can look for Pokemon you haven't seen yet (like, say, Xerneas for Y).

Though, like I said, since nobody can transfer yet, you won't find any.

As for Pokerus, I don't know how it works exactly, all I've heard is that it spreads to any Pokemon in the same box as the infected one. Might have to check.

[lantzblades]

Got a Japanese charmander with the rus. Also an eevee pair from different countries so shiny eevees everywhere.

[KAIZA]

OK, checked. It spreads by having the Pokemon in your party during battles; there's a chance it'll infect the Pokemon around it (the ones in the slots before and after it) after a battle. The PC thing is to keep the virus, since it won't go away if the Pokemon is in the box.

[lantzblades]

Awesome, thanks

[KAIZA]

So...do you think it's foolish to keep soft-resetting for a shiny Zygarde?
