@BenBrocka You catch a Sneasel yet?

Ben Brocka

no

coming online soon

tried to accept

are you gertting errors? I'm not but it doesn't seem to work

Yuki

@BenBrocka Yeah. It's acting up for me too.

Ben Brocka

there we go

is the best way to hatch eggs still running in a circle?

Yuki

Whoo!

@BenBrocka I do lines.

Ben Brocka

figured circles would be easier if skating works

Yuki

01:03

@BenBrocka Yeah, skating works.

OrigamiRobot

Gym 3 rocked me

Yuki

Caught a Trevenant!

OrigamiRobot

That's what I get for going in with two eggs

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot What was your team?

OrigamiRobot

Charmeleon, Greninja, Gabite, Larvitar (only level 20)

so really 3 pokemon

I also did no research into what types were going to be there

Ben Brocka

01:09

Yuki

Ooo, a Jigglypuff.

Anybody still need Dittos?

Ben Brocka

yes

Yuki

Hmm...

Do you have a Skrelp?

Eh, whatever.

Ben Brocka

thanks

and no haven't even heard of that

Yuki

It's Y-exclusive.

You can find it by fishing on the coast next to Ambrette Town.

Ben Brocka

01:21

oh I haven't even tried fishing yet

do I need better than a Good rod?

Yuki

@BenBrocka Good Rod should be fine.

Time to go to the GTS and see what I can get for a Ditto.

Probably something good.

OrigamiRobot

@Yuki Lots

Yuki

Whoo, got a Tyrunt for my Amaura.

I wish you could default to not show special Pokemon.

I'm tempted to catch an Abomasnow and name him "Obamasnow".

OrigamiRobot

WTF

why is this person speaking a different language?

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot ?

OrigamiRobot

01:31

Pokemon sind im Pokeball. Ich sitze auf dem Stuhl.

Ben Brocka

yeah she just speaks in german, I think it's intentional due to the whole france thing

Yuki

Oh, that NPC. They typically have a random NPC speak a different language just to show that Pokemon's internationally popular or something like that.

Huh. You can get items by using certain moves when there are background cues.

I also need to evolve Espeons of each Nature for Synchronize.

SaintWacko

02:16

@BenBrocka That's what happened to me the first time

Yuki

03:58

Why is catching Rotom so difficult?

Really? 2 Dusk Balls, 3 Great Balls, 2 Ultra Balls, 1 Heal Ball, and a Timer Ball after 25 turns AND A FRIGGIN' POKE BALL CATCHES THE THING???!!

Sure, I used 15 Poke Balls, but A FRIGGIN' POKE BALL?

Krazer

04:52

@Yuki what a troll

Yuki

Also, I learned that tapping the default bag in Super Training can get you other random bags.

Including the Reset Bag, which resets all your earned EVs to 0 in case you messed up.

Also, the one time I actually need it to rain, Route 14 is clear skies all the way, bro.

OrigamiRobot

@Yuki Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Yuki

@OrigamiRobot Yep.

OrigamiRobot

SO useful

Yuki

Yaaaaay, Sliggoo is evolving!

Isn't that adorable?

I just picked up a Team Flare bag. wut?

Apparently, it energizes your Pokemon so they attack bags faster or something.

Also, picked up a few Soothing Bags. Which will good for evolving an Espeon.

Wow. Even with a hindering nature and no EVs, Goodra still has more Special Defense than Special Attack (which I put 252 EVs into). Clearly meant to be a Special tank.

And its resistances to Fire, Grass, Electric, and Water make it a really good special wall.

Yuki

05:41

Another important thing I learned about breeding. Apparently, the males have a small chance to pass down Hidden Abilities to their kids.

So, you don't need a female with the Hidden Ability anymore.

Krazer

07:10

So I got Pokérus. Anyone want to get infected?

6

Yuki

@Krazer Me! Also, I'm working on a breeding project that you might be interested in.

Krazer

@Yuki Lemme know where and when and I'll make arrangements.

Yuki

Wanna guess what I'm doing?

Krazer

@Yuki gimmie a hint

Yuki

2 hours ago, by Yuki

Another important thing I learned about breeding. Apparently, the males have a small chance to pass down Hidden Abilities to their kids.

Krazer

07:17

@Yuki Male Event Torchic?

Yuki

@Krazer Not quite. The new breeding mechanic doesn't specify if passing the Hidden Ability only works in same-species pairs.

Krazer

@Yuki I see.

Yuki

So, I caught a male Wingull with Rain Dish (Hidden Ability) and I'm breeding it with a female Fletchling.

If passing the Hidden Ability works with different-species pairs... I'll end with a Fletchling with the ability Gale Wings.

And Gale Wings is amazing.

Krazer

!!!

this will be BIG!

Yuki

@Krazer Did you read what it does?

Krazer

07:20

@Yuki priority to flying moves, right?

Yuki

@Krazer Yes.

That is a beautiful thing.

Krazer

I had my eye on that for a while

Yuki

So far, 9 Fletchlings and no Hidden Ability.

Krazer

D,:

Yuki

The other annoying thing is that my current pairing has the lowest chance for getting Eggs (different species, same ID).

Ooo, a Jolly Fletchling. Honestly, Adamant's a better Nature since Talonflame has such a high base Speed.

Gale Wing Talonflame would be perfect for taking out all those Mega Blazikens that you know will swarm the online battles.

Krazer

07:27

Talonflame could be an awesome lead too with a focus sash... start with a will-o-wisp, hold on with the sash, and start a priority Tailwind

Yuki

Gale Wings is just an Ability that makes me drool.

Any priority-granting ability makes me drool, to be honest.

Ooo, unlocked a new hairstyle.

Krazer

I was thinking CB Talonflame + Greninja + Rotom-C to form a nice VoltTurn core with Rapid Spin and Spikes mixed in would be sweet

Yuki

@Krazer That phrasing sounds vaguely familiar...

Krazer

I need to double check if Greninja gets Rapid Spin

@Yuki smogon.com/bw/articles/bw_volt_turn

Yuki

You can breed Rotom, right?

Krazer

07:37

@Yuki yes

Yuki

@Krazer Oooo~

So, I think I nailed down my look. At least until the Boutique offers suits.

Krazer

@Yuki I spent hours re-rolling torchic until I got one with near perfect HP and ATK IVs

Yuki

@Krazer Mind catching a female Fletchling for me?

I feel like this would go faster if they had different IDs.

Krazer

@Yuki already have one in my party

not Adamant though

Yuki

@Krazer Well, I don't want to take one that's in your party.

Lemme see if I can breed a Rotom real quick for you.

Krazer

07:42

@Yuki I don't plan to use it much

Yuki

By the way, Goodra is adorable.

Krazer

@Yuki Hydration Goodra?

Yuki

@Krazer Sap Sucker. It was the only one I had that had a marginally good Nature.

i.e. Only one with a Nature that didn't penalize Speed.

Krazer

Interesting

Yuki

You give Everstones to encourage Natures, right?

Krazer

07:46

@Yuki yeh 50% I think

Yuki

@Krazer Yeah, my Rotom is Modest, so I figured that was a good Nature to inherit.

Krazer

I don't think it stacks though

Yuki

Wow, I need to go to bed...

Krazer

Holding a training band of one stat passes down the IV, I think

but generally it's the male that passes the moves, the female passes species and nature, right?

@Yuki lets go over this tomorrow

Yuki

@Krazer I don't think they distinguish between gender when inheriting moves and nature, right? At least I don't think they do anymore?

Krazer

07:50

@Yuki not sure... more research is required (not enough pylons)

Q: Vivillon's Pattern 3DS Locations - Who do I need to trade with?

According to Vivillon's Pokedex Entry, they have different wing patterns depending on their original location in the world: Vivillon with many different patterns are found all over the world. These patterns are affected by the climate of their habitat So I've been doing some research, and i...

pokemon-sixth-gen

Ben Brocka

11:55

@Krazer how does passing that around work again?

Yuki

12:12

@BenBrocka I think it's "has a chance to infect closest party Pokemon after battle".

Yuki

12:23

Yeah, I don't think I can cross-breed Hidden Abilities like I've been trying.

I can, however, beat the Elite Four and get to Friend Safari.

Ben Brocka

Didn't hidden abilities require dream world or some crap?

Yuki

@BenBrocka Not in this gen.

You can get Pokemon with Hidden Abilities through hordes and Friend Safari.

They threw a lot of bonuses for playing with friends in this gen, from O-Powers to Friend Safari.

Ben Brocka

13:02

@Yuki When do you unlock friend safari? I don't think I have that yet

@SaintWacko His expression makes it priceless

Krazer

13:33

@BenBrocka I pass you an infected Poké, you infect everything from here to Madagascar

@Yuki aww

@Yuki how do you know which hoard pokemon has the hidden ability?

Ben Brocka

@Krazer I just didn't know how it spreads within my pokemon. Like can you trade me one and then I just do a few fights with it, spread it to mine and then give you the pokemon back?

Krazer

@BenBrocka I can give one to you for keeps and you can just spread the love via wonder trade

Ben Brocka

14:01

trolling idea: send bunnelbys with pokerus through wonder trade

OrigamiRobot

How do you know if you have Pokerus?

Ben Brocka

I think it shows up like a status condition on the summary page?

never had a pokemon with it that I'm aware of

OrigamiRobot

Better idea: Send Pokemon named Pokerus via Wonder Trade.

Ben Brocka

someone got a pokemon named "/r/pokemon". It was actually one of the fossil pokemon not a bunnelby

Krazer

@OrigamiRobot you see it on the Pokemon's status screen, next to the level

Ben Brocka

14:10

Mega Aggron really let himself go

OrigamiRobot

Oh yea, I got an Aron

I should breed him

Ben Brocka

Really? Where are they?

Where the hell are you finding all these pseudolegendaries

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka GTS

Ben Brocka

Oh I haven't touched that yet

Krazer

@BenBrocka I have a Gible if you want one

Ben Brocka

14:13

I always finish the main game before I do much trading

OrigamiRobot

I just need Beldum now

Krazer

lol glitches:

Ben Brocka

@Krazer I will eventually. Like I said I don't have much to trade yet (without having to recatch stuff)

delfox is weird

I thought it'd be more witchy. went with Chespin

Though for some reason Chesnaught is fighting type and has learned no fighting moves and I have no fighting TMs

Krazer

@BenBrocka I went for fennekin because of fire/psychic

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I got a 2nd starter via Wonder Trade and traded that for a Ditto. Then I just breed and trade starters.

Ben Brocka

14:19

@OrigamiRobot In gen 4 I just bred the baby Snorlax thing all day

people would trade literally anything short of an event pokemon for that

OrigamiRobot

How silly.

Ben Brocka

I don't even recall it being that hard to get, you just need snorlax and an insense

Krazer

SaintWacko

@Krazer Ahaha

Morning, Kalos

Also I want Pokerus

Krazer

@SaintWacko because work

FAE

@SaintWacko What is that anyway?

Ben Brocka

@SaintWacko Just share this needle

@FAE double EVs I think

Q: Where, how and when I can aqure HM's?

I have HM Strenght and HM Cut. I would love to fly around this new beautiful world but I'm curious when it will be possible. Any help?

pokemon-sixth-gen

Ben Brocka

I wish it would tell you their Mii name

SaintWacko

@Krazer Grumble grumble grumble

Ben Brocka

I bring my 3DS to work. Might get some streetpass and I play at lunch

FAE

I'm getting twitchy from waiting.

Ben Brocka

Do you not have it yet?

Krazer

14:29

I'll start churning out infected Pokés tonight I'll set up a trade with you guys tonight

FAE

@BenBrocka @Fluttershy ordered it for both of us because there was a Toys R Us deal for buy one Pokémon game, get the 2nd 40% off. So I've got to wait for it to get to him, then he's sending it to me.

Ben Brocka

I'd have gotten that but I wanted one to be digital so I'll wait on X. Or Z probably

What's an easy pokemon to get that "half egg waiting time" ability with?

hatching eggs is...unpleasant

FAE

@BenBrocka I'm not playing much on my 3DS atm, so physical's okay for now. The anticipation's just driving me crazy.

Also I'm still trying to figure out which starter to pick. :(

SaintWacko

Wow

You guys know way more about pokemon than I do

Ben Brocka

I pick based on final evo usually. I went with chespin. Not a big fan of any of them, though chesnaught is alright and ninja frog is pretty cool, but I had a water starter last time

SaintWacko

14:35

@FAE fennekin!

Ben Brocka

I played the hell out of every gen except 5, and I've never been one for natures/IVs

I was way on board with fennekin except for the final evo

SaintWacko

Yeah

Final evo is weird

But fire/psychic is actually pretty nice

Ben Brocka

Yeah, it's a cool mix

FAE

@SaintWacko I was thinking about that but I hear Torchic is pretty neat too.

Krazer

@BenBrocka Flame body or magma armor

FAE

14:37

@BenBrocka I had Piplup in Diamond but I'm not huge on frogs. :(

Ben Brocka

oh, don't think I have seen any pokemon with flamebody

SaintWacko

@FAE Yeah, but you can have both!

Ben Brocka

I loved my empoleon in diamond

SaintWacko

I really want a cyndaquil

Cyndaquil, and it's final evo, are the best

Ben Brocka

Yeah typhlosion was sweet

I picked fire starters until gen 4

FAE

14:38

@SaintWacko But then I'll have 2 fire things and I really want the Charmander. D: I had Charmander in Red, so I want him for nostalgia's sake.

Krazer

@BenBrocka Fletchinder can have it

@SaintWacko totodile or bust imo xD

Ben Brocka

Oh! I...had no idea it was a fire type

I just stuck it in a box, I'll have to see if mine has it

I just assumed it was the standard pidgy replacement

Krazer

@BenBrocka fire flying, my dilemma right now is that I have too many fire types

SaintWacko

@FAE I have charmeleon, combusken, and braixen

Ben Brocka

Yeah I have Charizard and Blaziken

trying to level up my fraxure

I'm not sure if he's missing EVs or what but he seems oddly weak compared to my starter trio

SaintWacko

14:42

Blazikun is awesome

Ben Brocka

I almost wish the game would start you off with worse starters so people's teams would change more

FAE

@BenBrocka I don't even know how to judge whether a Pokémon is really good or bad x_x

Ben Brocka

Obviously it's based on how cool their final evolution looks

Krazer

^^ This

Ben Brocka

when does the poke cloud transfer gizzmo thing launch? I miss my Weavile

FAE

14:45

@BenBrocka Dec. 27th

Ben Brocka

oh wow that's pretty far out

FAE

Yeah :/

Ben Brocka

I need to borrow a cart to do it anyway, I think it's BW/BW2 only

Krazer

Ben Brocka

I didn't know he learned surf...

FAE

14:49

@Krazer ...the hell is that

Krazer

@FAE Tauros could learn surf by HM before Gen 6

bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Surf#By_HM

Ben Brocka

Does that mean he'll still have a surf animation if transferred from gen 5 to gen 6?

Krazer

Not sure. Would be cool to see.

Ben Brocka

do pokemon other than lapras show up in the overworld when you surf? I was looking forward to that/riding pokemon but it turns out you only ride a few pokemon

like the leaf...goat...guy

Who's That Pokemon?

@ThePokedreck, Tall Grass

Not sure what these creatures names are but there are a lot of them and they all freak me out.

663 tweets, 167 followers, following 149 users

Krazer

I want to see:

Ben Brocka

14:56

unfortunately the fly animation shows a generic birdish pokemon

Krazer

aww

Ben Brocka

was looking forward to the flying on charizard animation too

this was sweet though:

NastyPolarBear - big fuzzy polarbear with a bad ass frozen beard. Or it would be bad ass if it wasnt a beard of snot. Straight up NASTY

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot yeah true

Why the hell is Sawk's opposite not called Rawk or something. When I saw the two and "sawk" I thought they'd be rock'em sock 'em robots references

A: Does tipping people do anything?

after i have tipped for a total of 25.000 i got a hologram from the prof, telling me to come to his lab. he gave me a lvl 5 mew

Yea, no

Ben Brocka

15:19

Pretty sure it just gets compliments. But there will be rumors a la the Mew truck for months/years I bet

Krazer

@OrigamiRobot wut

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I don't know why they're still Mew rumors. Mew isn't anything special anymore.

Ben Brocka

Mew's still a bitch to get without events though because you can't trade without seeing one

well you can't GTS

though they made it so you can trade for any pokemon you've heard the name of now. Not sure how significant that is

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka Now you can type in any name.

Ben Brocka

Wait seriously? Awesome

that killed my desire/ability to fill the pokedex in gen 4

OrigamiRobot

15:23

Yea, that's how I got all these pseudolegendaries

Ben Brocka

They really really improved the online this time. I'm surprised it's a Nintendo product (though it's made by Game Freak)

OrigamiRobot

Same

Ben Brocka

Can other people actually see your trainer somewhere, or do they just see the icon?

Krazer

@BenBrocka Icon, I think

also how do you get a Sylveon?

Ben Brocka

Eevee with a high friendship rating and a fairy type move, at level up, I think

@Krazer but my fabulous outfits!

FAE

15:33

Are there any Dragon/Ghost or Dragon/Poison types?

Ben Brocka

yes

Dragalge is poison/dragon and Giratina is ghost/dragon, though it's a legendary from gen 4

If I find some skrelps I can give you one for a Dragalge, though you can catch one yourself if you have Y

FAE

@BenBrocka Oooh, I do have Platinum... Though I imagine that's pretty far into the game.

Ben Brocka

I dunno how far he is in plat, he's endgame in diamond

He's also inside the cave of eternal hell, EG full of Bronzongs

I can't wait to rip up some bronzongs with dark type moves in gen 6

FAE

I have both Diamond and Plat. Hrm.

Man, I'm so excited to play.

I've never had people to play/trade with before and now I've got people from like 3 different corners of the internet to do it with.

Ben Brocka

I'm not even actively trading and I still have more friends available to trade/whatever than ever before. The internet features are great

Though I'm one of few people so far who haven't named their trainer after themselves so I'm harder to find

FAE

15:43

Man, all the Fairy stuff seems to be pink. :|

Ben Brocka

Also 75% of my list is unaltered default male trainer

@FAE that is quite seriously the point

FAE

@BenBrocka Yeah, I usually use another name for ingame characters and I made an exception for AC:NL but now I don't know if I wanna do that again and argh.

Ben Brocka

There is a fairy gym which drives home the point that the whole reason fairy type exists is cutesy stereotypical girly pink or pinkish things (and...mawile...for some reason)

FAE

Legendaries can be traded too, neh?

Ben Brocka

And I guess Xerneas isn't cutesypinku. Shaymin seems more like what I'd assume a Fairy type legendary to be

@FAE yeah

FAE

15:46

@BenBrocka Are they only one per game though? I don't know how this works.

Ben Brocka

legendaries are generally only one per game or one per event (meaning they aren't actually in the single player game AT ALL which is stupid horsehit and I hate it)

FAE

Argh, I don't know what to choooooose.

Ben Brocka

where the hell do you get a furfrou? I need one to be stylish for lumoise city

Krazer

@FAE They were giving out the shiny giratina before the X/Y release

FAE

@Krazer T_T

What really is going to suck is that I'm not going to be able to participate in any events here in the Netherlands because my 3DS is NA, not EU.

(Why, Nintendo, why did you go backwards in regards to region-locking? T_T)

Ben Brocka

15:57

"event" pokemon are downloaded now anyway, I'm not sure physical events even matter

SaintWacko

@BenBrocka Route 5

Ben Brocka

how the hell did I miss that

SaintWacko

Not sure

Maybe they don't appear often

Ben Brocka

maybe, the game does make a big deal of them for some reason

I don't really think they're that cute

then again I don't think Lucario is OMG best pokymen evar either
