Still giving the middle finger to DP? >=(

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #501 on:** September 23, 2009, 06:23:49 PM

I don't mind.

Hypershell · **Reply #502 on:** September 24, 2009, 12:13:55 AM

Yeah, but all the forms will be in HG/SS (and Rotom's will no longer require a special event), so I'm content to give Platinum the finger. Just have to be sure to find/hack an Arceus that can give birth to Origin-Giratina, and I'm covered.

AquaTeamV3 · **Reply #503 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:00:59 AM

Well, I guess having a Shaymin is a pretty good deal as I'm still playing Platinum as well. It still sucks that you can't wi-fi with Rotom's forms, though. I'm actually working on a doubles team right now, and I'll be happy to battle anyone interested in a match when I'm done!

I can trade you the movie one that causes the event to happen.

Solar · **Reply #505 on:** September 24, 2009, 01:33:12 AM

Why did you not say anything when I asked for one like two weeks ago? D:

Is it possible I could borrow it?

We'll see. I'm sure we're a long way from the U.S. release of HG/SS.

Gladly. We'll have to exchange codes. I'm damn evil in Doubles, though.

Cool. I'm actually more interested in doubles than singles right now, especially with Smogon doing crazy stuff with the tiers. Doubles transcends tiers, and requires different strategies altogether. It's actually a lot harder to play than singles because strategies are much more complex and harder to think up.

Hypershell · **Reply #508 on:** September 25, 2009, 12:48:07 AM

That's why I like it. More interesting, and a faster pace. It may be harder to master, but it's easier to come up with something creative, and also easier to take advantage of your favorites since, yes, the tier system is truly screwed by Doubles.

Valid points...

Still... I don't mind.

Now... For the Azure Flute event, and I'll be a happy mad scientist, since the Arceus movie, Arceus and the Jewel of Life, is confirmed to be airing within this year...

If anyone's got PBR, can someone just give me a Liechi Berry please?

I'm kinda at the end of my rope here, what with all of these exclusive berries not available in the DS games for whatever reason...

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #511 on:** September 28, 2009, 03:40:35 PM

So yeah, the Oak's Letter event starts today, so go get it over the Mystery Gift of your Pokemon Platinum.
Me got a Timid Shaymin.

Sweet! How many tries did it take? If I may ask.

I got myself a Modest Shaymin myself, after three tries.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #513 on:** September 30, 2009, 02:39:09 PM

Adamant -> Naive -> Careful -> Timid

So yeah.

AquaTeamV3 · **Reply #514 on:** October 01, 2009, 03:11:16 PM

Got me a quiet one, but I wasn't worried about nature in the first place. Caught it on the 2nd Ultra ball, though, I honestly thought it would be a bit more challenging.

In other news, I've almost got my doubles team finished, but now I need a Dragon Scale. I hate these items that are only obtainable through wild Pokemon holding them...

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #515 on:** October 01, 2009, 03:42:38 PM

I caught Shaymin in one Dusk Ball... All 4 times...

STM · **Reply #516 on:** October 01, 2009, 07:01:46 PM

I've gotten into a strange habit of catching legendaries in Pokeballs that match their colors. Don't know why...

AquaTeamV3 · **Reply #517 on:** October 02, 2009, 02:11:21 AM

Crud, I just had a horrible experience involving Pal Park. I migrated over my modest Horsea in order for it to participate in a RD team. After getting it all EV trained and such, I chose to evolve it to a Kingdra. Imagine my horror upon learning that it's ability had changed from Swift Swim to Sniper. Now I've got to re-do the entire process!

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #518 on:** October 02, 2009, 02:25:29 AM

o_O
What the... That's not possible... O_o

AquaTeamV3 · **Reply #519 on:** October 02, 2009, 02:54:58 AM

Unfortunately it is, I just googled it. Apparently any pokes traded from P. Park have a 50% change of changing abilities upon evolution. This only applies to pokes who had one ability in generation III, but have 2 in generation IV, like Horsea (who gains Sniper). This seriously sucks, though, because now I'm breeding these things to be absolutely certain that this doesn't happen again. At least I can breed the moves my Kingdra had onto the offspring, but this is still going to take awhile.

Note that if the Pokemon you bring over has no evolutions, then no foul there. But, if it evolves, I guess it's advisable to save before you do so, in case it decides to pull a switcheroo on you.

Dr. Wily II · **Reply #520 on:** October 02, 2009, 03:00:54 AM

Woa... Ok, duly noted.

Harruhy · **Reply #521 on:** October 02, 2009, 04:21:44 AM

I don't see why you didn't save beforehand, check after evolving, etc etc.
I would assume most people do that after evolving a Pokémon.

Solar · **Reply #522 on:** October 02, 2009, 05:15:09 AM

Because isn't Kingdra one of those pokes that evolve with trading? As you know, trading autosaves >_>

Harruhy · **Reply #523 on:** October 02, 2009, 05:15:56 AM

Huh. I totally forgot about that.
Ah well, guess you're [tornado fang]'d then.

AquaTeamV3 · **Reply #524 on:** October 02, 2009, 05:21:43 AM

Meh, I've got another Modest Horsea that I'm already done EV training (my, that was quick). This one was born and raised in Sinnoh, so it won't switch up on me. I'm just mugging wild Horsea until I get my hands on another Dragon Scale.

EDIT: Dragon Scale GET! Compound-eyes really helps with those wild hold items.
