Just got that in a Wonder Trade with my level 7 Flabebe. <_<

@Fluttershy You got a good deal

@OrigamiRobot It's Japanese though, so I couldn't actually read the name.

@Fluttershy just did another Wonder Trade and was exclaiming "What is he sending me, it's so big!" I was amused.

Turns out it was a level 28 Furfrou... for my level 2 Caterpie... ._. I feel bad.

Q: Pokemon X Can't Find Mega Stones

12:53 AM

I'm trying to look for the garchompite stone, but when I'm at the spot I don't see it anywhere. I have battled Serena, talked to professor Sycamore after, and appeared there between 8PM-9PM. Though, when I'm there I see that the sky isn't dark and it seems that it is day in the game. I've tried t...

Breeding Pawniards

Anyone want one?

1:14 AM

@Fluttershy That thing's so adorable.

@Yuki Do you have an Attack/Speed and/or SpAtt/Speed ditto?

@OrigamiRobot Probably.

Yep. Here's an Atk/Spe. No SpA/Spe though.

That's the one I'd rather have!

Want a Pawniard?

No Adamant ones yet :(

@OrigamiRobot Don't worry about it. I don't really plan on using Pawniard/Bisharp competitively, so I don't care about the nature.

I'm not using anything competitively, I just like min-maxing

1:23 AM

Besides, send me a female Pawniard caught in whatever ball you want, and I'll see if I can breed a good one for you.

Something you'd rather have? Aron?

I like breeding!

@OrigamiRobot It's fun, isn't it?

Granted, it's an odd kind of fun.

...are there seriously like 60+ types of berries?

@FAE Not... quite.

I mean, are we counting Apricorns?

And what about the Berries that were in previous gens but not this one?

@Yuki Was looking at this. I can't find a Gen VI list.

1:33 AM

Dat look of "COME AT ME BRO" after defeating the Team Flare dude the (final?) time.

@FAE About 10 or 15 of those berries died with Gen III or IV.

@Yuki Like I'm looking at that chart someone linked here the other day and I'm like Mutation Trees, what.

sigh I remember berries as a huge mechanic in DPPt

@Unionhawk Yeah, I had DPPt but I didn't play much of it, so I never really got a handle on them.

@FAE Berry mutations are fairly straightforward. By planting Berries in Strange Mulch, it is possible for one of the Berries on the tree to mutate as long as the right Berry tree is next to it.

1:37 AM

I'm also one of those people who like... hoards consumables, so I'm always loath to use these.

For example, if you plant a Pecha berry in Strange Mulch and then plant an Oran berry next to it, one of the berries in the Pecha berry tree can mutate into a Qualot berry.

WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THESE EGGS

@OrigamiRobot because you are a robot?

I really like the new Egg Move mechanics. They fixed one of my big pet peeves from earlier gens.

Now, if one of my breeding Pokemon forgets the Egg Move I'm trying to teach because of leveling up in the Daycare, I can take it back to the Relearner.

But it's male.

@BenBrocka I got the 5/6 Sneasel!

And Naughty rather than Jolly.

Ah well, that's good progress.

1:53 AM

That chart says to get the Pecha Berry in Camphrier City, I'm assuming that means from the guy you show a Flying pokemon to. I didn't see this before that though, and I didn't pick it. :(

@FAE I have quite a few Pecha Berries. I can give one to you through a Pokemon trade.

Want a Sneasel? I got quite a few.

@Yuki I don't even know what a Sneasel is!

Dark/Ice-type, I believe.

Oh neat

Oh, nevermind, I didn't miss the Pecha, it's apparently given to you from the Berry tutorial person.

GAME Y U NO SYNC

1:58 AM

@OrigamiRobot Tristan and I are having that problem too

@OrigamiRobot From my experience, it only tries its best to connect every 24 hours.

@Yuki I'm trying to do it manually.

I only just did the registration stuff

If it's detected that you've connected to Game Sync in the last 24 hours and the servers are busy, it just goes "Meh, not worth it.".

oh god there's juices too?

Nearly 18 Pawniard and not a single Adamant

2:06 AM

@Yuki I don't see how to make Strange Mulch on this chart, do you mean Surprise Mulch?

@FAE Whoops, yeah.

It was called Strange Mulch in one early draft and, for some reason, the name stuck to me.

><

I'm worried that if I even try to plant berries, I'm just going to end up forgetting about them and they're going to dry out.

@FAE I'm fairly good about Berry farming, so I can be on hand to give you replacements in case that happens.

I haven't even touched berry farming

I am starting to get overwhelmed. :(

2:22 AM

@Yuki Do you have to put Strange Mulch on both of the parents for Mutations?

@FAE I don't think so, but I do it just so I can get two Berry mutations instead of one.

Welp... Bridge is extra dumb tonight, so I'm gonna hang out in here instead. <_<

Question: Why does everyone want Rough Skin Gible instead of Sand Veil Gible?

@Fluttershy Yeah, hang out with the cool kids!

And by "cool kids", I mean "nerds playing Pokemon on a Saturday night".

I JUST WANT ADAMANT

@OrigamiRobot Can you give me a Capture power?

2:29 AM

I don't know how to do that

@OrigamiRobot It's an O power.

29 secs ago, by OrigamiRobot

I don't know how to do that

@OrigamiRobot Click on your friend's portrait. Hit O-Power. Select "Send O-Power". Choose an O-Power to send.

@OrigamiRobot You tap on my face in the PSS and select "O Power". =P

So much work

2:35 AM

First horde! Minun. Cutest horde ever.

All right, I went back to the Arqade spreadsheet and added Friend Codes that I was missing.

Uuuugh, ATK flattened.

@FAE ?

@Yuki All the little Minuns.

@FAE Growls?

Lots and lots of Growls?

Or Charm?

2:43 AM

@Yuki That.

I think I'm getting close to breeding that Sneasel, @BenBrocka. I've nailed down the IVs and the Ice Punch.

Just working on getting gender and nature.

noooo, there was only a single Plusle in that group and I accidentally got a critical hit on it. T_T

Dammit, I don't have any pokemon with berry harvesting moves :(

@FAE I still haven't gotten any of those berries.

2:58 AM

How do I tell if a move hits multiple targets?

While you're using it, look for lines connecting the targets.

Or just look it up

I mean beforehand. I just accidentally wiped out 2 things when I didn't mean to. :(

Yay, got my Vivillon!

Someday I'll get an Elegant one.

I have Polar Vivillons, if any of you want those.

Hm, should I train Struggle Bug...

3:15 AM

?

I am a true pokemon master. Needed HM moves, was lazy, caught a Lickitongue right then and there for an HM slave

@Yuki sweet! Thanks so much

@OrigamiRobot my Vivillon wants to learn Struggle Bug, trying to decide what to forget

So there IS a draco meteor tutor!

I missed like, the last strength rock on the map

Ugh it's 4:30am but I don't want to sleep, I want to play more pokemon

Quick Balls are so great.

3:25 AM

quick balls are the best

Laziness, YAY

sigh brb route 22, I'll be back with less stupid powerful pokemon

qwertyk31

where can you get tm false swipes?

BOOM QUICK BALL 3 IN A ROW

Filling out the pokedex like a boss

Also: I'm insane.

Are you allowed to set the level to 100 in Link Battles or is L50s-no-other-options?

3:55 AM

Got a Honedge

@qwertyk31 sycamore's lab in lumoise

I'm going to fill out this pokedex if it kills me. It probably will.

@Unionhawk Yeah I'd like to do that as well

I've decided to let you guys do the Pokedex filling. I'll be a breeder instead.

I love how Mewtwo doesn't really look super pissed-angry in XY. He just looks annoyed

like "I'm the ultimate pokemon and I'm fighting a level 10 bidoof. Damn everything"

3:57 AM

@Yuki Same

Heh. Yeah, that's why I put away Xasldkjghadldkh for the moment...

TOO BAD I CAN'T EVEN GET AN ADAMANT PAWNIARD

Because if I can't get quick ball to work, I'm screwed

dusk balls still work rpetty well even at full health

they must have adjusted the catch rate algo

Right now, I'm clearing out the early routes.

I don't have a list though, so...

Also, I do want to get into breeding this time around too.

4:01 AM

I wish I could just give pokemon away

Does anyone have a male Adamant human-like pokemon?

I have a few adamants, not sure about egg group

I'm sure the Metang won't do

Skitty get! Now I need a Wailord...

4:16 AM

Wow, I'm at Parfum Palace. This game is really pretty.

F yes, ROUTE 4 CLEAR

Why, why does this game not have a screenshot function like ACNL. :(

@OrigamiRobot I.... have a suitable bisharp

@TrentHawkins Egg plox T_T

I've bred 30 pawniards

Nintendo, pls D:

4:20 AM

k. working on it.

@FAE seriously

TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYYTYTYTYTYTY

also pancham

Yay shotty connection!!

@TrentHawkins Need any pseudolegendaries?

4:24 AM

sweet, adamant metagross

@OrigamiRobot a wynaut or a starly would be nice

I have neither of those :(

Mareep?

I think I can make babies of most, possibly all of those

need to beat the E4 again first

I'm about to Wonder Trade all these stupid Pawniard away

4:27 AM

I'm just filling out my living pokedex with unique trainer ids. If I really wanted another mareep, I could catch one.

hatching hatching hatching...

... screw you desire sensor!

@TrentHawkins Speaking of, I got two Uragaan Palliums today which I will never use

@TrentHawkins This sounds really weird out of context.

From one hunt no less!

@TrentHawkins PRETTY MUCH

OMG YOU STUPID FURFROU STOP RUNNING AWAY

4:39 AM

@OrigamiRobot ok, got 5, i'll check the IVs of the males and trade you the best.

Aww, how sweet

I don't care if it's male

I only wanted a male human-like so I could make my own Pawniard

Ugh.

Not a single Jolly Kirlia...

... Great, because the only one of these with a good IV that wasn't SpAtk was a female.

heh

That actually works better for me because it's keeping the all-female trend of my team going

@Yuki Pawniard is human-like, but Kirlia isn't?

WHO MAKES THESE DECISIONS?

@OrigamiRobot I know, who the f--k decided the Ralts line would be Amorphous? They're like the furthest thing from Amorphous.

4:45 AM

@OrigamiRobot Skitty and Wailord are in the same egg group.

Yeah.

You tell me.

@Unionhawk The funny thing is that I think Skitty is heavier than Wailord, proportionally speaking.

nah you mate Kirlia with Grimer

Since Wailord is lighter than air.

@Yuki ...

O...kay then

@OrigamiRobot ready for trade.

4:48 AM

Yeah, some people did rough estimates of Wailord's density, given his weight and approximate size, and determined that he was lighter than air.

That's hilarious.

Wow, that girl was like... kinda hitting on me during the fireworks...

@FAE Yup.

yeah she does that

@FAE And the old man gives you TM Protect.

wink wink nudge nudge

4:50 AM

@Yuki Yeeeeeeeah...

@Yuki Oh man, how did I not catch that? AHAHAHAHAHAHA

They're not even of age. x___X

Oof zwei will do nicely. I have the other two, but not zweilus

@FAE Age is somewhat ambiguous in the Pokeman games.

Yes, Pokeman.

How do you know? They seem to be like... I have no idea.

4:51 AM

I heard the protags are at least 18 or over this time

@Yuki It's ambiguous enough to still be somewhat questionable.

they kinda look it

Could be.

Not to mention age of consent is Japan is friggin' low.

pigtail girl doesn't though

4:51 AM

Like 14 or something.

They're not 12, certainly.

They could pass for up to 16, all of them. Maybe

@TrentHawkins Perfect!

Pink girl is slightly younger than the rest, but Serena and Protag are definitely older.

Ok, @OrigamiRobot got Hawkeye, now to give away Trapper, BJ, Winchester, and Ferret Face.

Oh dear lord

You are my new favorite person

4:53 AM

@OrigamiRobot They're surgeons! :D

MASH is the greatest show of all time.

No Potter or Blake?

Finally! A Jolly Kirlia!

@OrigamiRobot only hatched 5, went with the residents of the swamp.... minus that one australian-type guy that was there at the start.

Spearchucker Jones

@OrigamiRobot That was it!

4:56 AM

They took him away when they found out there were no black surgeons in Korea and they wanted to be historically accurate.

@OrigamiRobot I see... Always wondered about that.

Bj goes to someone in florida.

I should get a female probopass and call it klinger.

Bwahahahaha

Teddyursa can be Radar

I figure a rapidash or other equine for potter, no?

could not find a trade partner for ferret face. :D

Jynx can be Hot Lips

I kinda want to say Slowpoke for Henry for the whole fishing angle, but...

Slowking?

5:11 AM

What's the general opinion on Round?

@FAE Tends not to be square.

@TrentHawkins >_>

:D

Hmm. It could be interesting for tripple battles....

My Froakie wants to learn it. Thinking it won't be so handy on him though.

For the main story playthough there aren't a lot of double battles. and no tripple battles that I can recall.

5:15 AM

It's full of meh. It would be interesting in a triple, but it only works if the others have it, so, meh.

I'd pass - unless you still have something like tackle.

I think. I could be totally wrong on the mechanics

@TrentHawkins Yeah, I passed on it

In the case of Froakie, it's still a decently powered move for the level, IIRC.

Yah, it is indeed

But whatever

It's okay. And only okay.

5:19 AM

I've got Bubble and Water Pulse on him though for attacks and his Sp. Atk is better than his regular Attack anyway

Ho man, Luvdisc is easy to catch... One shake.

On a quick ball, mind, but, still

that's a crit capture

oic

can happen to any catch, chance increases as you fill the pokedex

Hmm. I see. Fill up as in see, or catch?

5:22 AM

catch I'm pretty sure

That's almost cruel.

Making it potentially easier to catch things after you catch a lot of things...

it's a nice bonus for catching lots of pokemon

Indeed

wonder what the rate is with a complete national dex...?

the restaraunt AIs are stupid

the ENTIRE team used Protect in a triple battle

5:26 AM

@BenBrocka yyyep.

"BUT IT FAILED"

Really sucks when they use protect on the target turn #

ON the other hand I looove abusing Protect with Speed Boost on blaziken

Hm. I need to probably actually prepare for this last gym... I've been killing everything with just mega charizard...

you practically need to disable their ability to use protect, or have a way to hit them through it.

5:28 AM

Hm, which would be better to keep, a Naughty Honedge or a Hasty one?

Hey Synchronoise got a buff. Still terrible

@FAE ... tough choice, but I'd go with Naughty

Okay, forming strategies: open up to Abomisnow with a flamethrower for a probably OHKO, go to Mega Lucario and kill everything. I like this plan.

This is good plan.

@Unionhawk You still capturing?

@FAE Yeah, but I'm going to get the 8th badge at least.

5:38 AM

Yknow, the battlebox would be more useful if when an acquaintance/passerby challenges you it allowed you the option of using the battlebox.

@Unionhawk ah, was wondering if you wanted a cap power lv. 3

time for some Wonder Trades

Ah. I'm good. Thanks!

Got a level 1 Calm Gible for a level 10 Lax Furfrou

I have no idea if this is good.

I have caught @Wipqozn! (I found some fire turtle... dude...)

o_o Got a level 30 Frogadier for my level 3 Bunnelby

5:44 AM

o_O

Nice.

I dunno what to do with that, I already have my own Frogadier...

Got a level 3 Scatterbug for a level 11 Impish Oddish. Happy with that though, as the guy's from a different region than I am, so I'll get a different Vivillon, presumably.

Trade it for another starter on GTS?

@FAE yeah, I always keep and evolve those in the hope of new patterns.

Got a level 1 Jolly Snorlax for a level 11 Hasty Honedge.

The Pokedex has different language versions?

OMG, the Scatterbug I got is from Japan!

QUICK BALL OP PLS BUFF STILL

5:55 AM

The person I got it from was from Indiana but I think they got it from Japan, the name is in Japanese. Eeeeeeeeeee, this means I'll get the Elegant Vivillon I wanted, hopefully! :D

I'm so happy! :D

@FAE If not, I might have a spare elegant.

I wish pokemon from other regions would retain their language when they evolve.

Ah, they don't?

Nope - case in point, this zubat just had his name go from moon runes to "Golbat"

aw

they only retain the name if the original trainer nicknamed them.

n/m - I have an extra modern and continental.

6:15 AM

...screw you route 19

@TrentHawkins I'm kinda glad they don't. In gen 4 they wouldn't change names at all, even to the evolved name, IIRC

taking me in a circle, what is this?

HOLY CRAP A JACK O'LANTERN POKEMON WHAT IS THIS?

apparently immune to fight is what it is...?

it's ghost grass (there are two new ghost grass lines)

Sure enough, man.

Have a legendary use a dark move against you, dude.

...I'm battling pink girl. What is this?

At least pink girl takes losing better...

...this guy literally has pokemon who can do swords dance, doesn't he... >.>

Q: How do Inverse Battles affect moves that would usually do zero damage?

2:43 PM

1

There's a house on Route 18 in Pokémon X & Y, where you can take part in an Inverse Battle once per day. In this battle moves that are usually Super Effective (eg, Fire -> Grass) are Not Very Effective, and moves that are usually Not Very Effective (eg, Water -> Grass) are Super Effective. How d...

pokemon-xy

I officially hate Basculin!! I encountered one that was SHINY and it decided to use Final Gambit as its first move.

3:22 PM

@C-dizzle Lead with Spore?

@Yuki tried a quick ball first since they usually work well

Not this time, unfortunately

But during my chain I was lucky enough to encounter a Dragonair and capture it with a quick ball

Yeah, I wouldn't risk a Quick Ball failing on a Shiny Pokemon that has an escape move. I've had way too many Synchronize Kirlias Teleport on me while trying to farm for them.

Well if I would have known Basculin had that move I would have taken a different approach. Learn from my mistakes I guess.

@C-dizzle Basculin can be fished, right?

Yeah, so far I found it using good and super rod

@Yuki have you found anyone that has an electric safari?

I thought someone said the safari types were on the arqade gamer id's sheet but I didn't see it

3:30 PM

@C-dizzle One of my other friends has an electric-type Safari.

Hasn't completed E4 yet, I think.

Do they have to complete the E4 to gain access to their safari?

@C-dizzle No, but completing the E4 unlocks the third Pokemon and Hidden Abilities.

Oh cool, I didn't know that. I need some more people to add me to their friends on the DS, I only have 4 safaris I can do.

Guh, I'm so close to completing this breeding project. I can feel it!

What else do you need?

3:42 PM

Mostly just time and luck.

I'm breeding a 5/6 Jolly Sneasel with Ice Punch for @BenBrocka, and I'm at 4/6 Jolly.

And I have a 5/6 with Ice Punch.

So I'm breeding them together, so all I need is a bit of luck.

Nice... I just wish the hold items wouldn't disappear after you evolve a Pokemon. Maybe I want more than one Weavile lol

Incidentally, I have quite a few 4/6 Jolly Sneasels with Ice Punch in case you want one.

@C-dizzle You can buy more Razor Claws at the Battle Maison.

In fact, I think you can buy all of the evolutionary items at the Battle Maison with the exception of Metal Coat.

Which you can just Thief off of Magnetons in the Lost Hotel.

I haven't really played in the Battle Maison

I caught a Scyther I'm going to breed for Adamant, steal a bunch of Metal Coats and surprise some people on Wonder Trade

@Yuki can you not use Poke Radar in the friend safari?

@C-dizzle No clue.

I haven't tried it though.

I just tried and it didn't work... was hoping I may have used the wrong item but not the case.

3:51 PM

@C-dizzle Are you sure you're not wearing rollerskates in the grass or something?

Poke Radar doesn't work with rollerstakes, IIRC.

I never use the joypad to walk, since it slows you down so much in the grass

Apparently you can use the Item Finder in the safari but not the Poke Radar, makes no sense to me
