The species are designated by the friend code. Each Friend Code has a specific combination; check the potential ones.

Also, been playing some X after a 8 month absence, to breed some stuff. Gen VI is getting an abrupt ending, seriously. I mean, gen V got also such an ending, with the overarching plot of nature vs. technology being left out (Colress and N meeting, FFS), as well as the protagonists of 1 and 2 not meeting, or Kyurem being left incomplete, but Kalos was outright denied a revisit while it was set up for one.

Z would be awesome, but apparently a year of silence and then a new gen was what the new direction deemed appropiate. Seriously, gimme the backstory of Anistar, of Terminus Cave, give more Kalos before outright moving on.

Give me Emeralds, Platinums, and 1 and 2 pairings.

i should write up another monhon thing

It turns out I have an adorable Fairy safari with Jigglypuff, Togepi and Blue Floette. D'aw.

Although I suppose that Kirlia/Mawile/Floette is the cutest possible combination, it's still cute enough for me. Not great when you want to promote your friend code for minmaxers, but who cares.

All I remember about my Safari is that it's Steel-type.

A friend told me: Magneton, Skarmory and Klefki. I forgot I got a pretty good set.

Mine's steel with Ferroseed, Fortress, and Klefki.

So, you know, not the BEST, but still, it has Klefki.

Here is the old thread we had of them all, by the way

Safaris. Man, I just dropped those after Pokemon Bank came out.

I didn't, because hidden abilities (Mine had Larvesta among others, by the way). Just decided to raise a Simple Swoobat for the hell of it last week, and finding one to start breeding was easy and reliable.

A shame I'm lacking Wi Fi at the moment, because I'm lacking in the Huge Power Diggersby department, and I am interested in correcting that.

I'd assume that Sabrina wouldn't actually be able to procure illusions that would be caught on film, since by all means she should only be able to manipulate the minds of people present, but not through a camera.

But I really like that aspect of her and it turned her from one of the (many) least interesting gym leaders into one of the (few) most interesting ones. Sabrina in the early generations was just the quintessential weird leotard-wearing psychic trainer that exists as an archetype for some reason, but the actor thing gives her a lot more depth, and for some reason, it seems to me like one of those combinations that seem strange at first but just... really work out well.

... and that she had a whip for some reason in Gen 1.◊

I have a lame Ghost one with Shuppet, Phantump, and Dusclops. Like, I love all three of these Pokemon, but none of them are particularly rare, and the Hidden Abilities of these three suck.

I'm so glad that Pokemon Center opened back up- they've got some pretty neat merch.

I really want this pikachu hoodie, but 70 bucks is incredibly pricey...

I had a Flying one with wild Gale Wings Fletchling.

I always felt dirty about that.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.

Victini event is live in North America!

What events did I miss between Yveltal and Victini?

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

Arceus, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Jirachi, I think.

Well, I was an idiot, then.

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

tfw bad luck has caused me to miss every event pokemon but manaphy and squid's game fucked itself sideways and i have three manaphy anyway

Holy crap! I just got a Skill Booster M in Pokemon Shuffle! It's a red present box!

(silence)

I think there's a 1/4 chance of any present from the event eevee being that. Not terribly rare

I never did get rid of like four of those Manaphies. I wound up releasing them. It felt weird to do.

What's a good nature/IV spread for a Victini that can't use V-create?

wait the victini doesn't get Choice Band Create?

lame

Nope, it was exclusive to a Japanese event in Gen V I think. So we're going with Searing Shot.

I usually like running mixed attackers but that doesn't seem to be an option in this case.

Also I'm presently up to my tits in non-shiny but still 6IV/5IV but functionally perfect Litwicks if anyone wants one.

I have nicked my sister's copy of Platinum while looking for her HeartGold, and intend to replay it after not touching Sinnoh for years.

Wish me luck.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
