How are you not banned yet?
Jinxy
It's annoying, but I don't see how talking about stuff everyone knew years ago is exactly a bannable offense
NaomiMinette
battler077, go away. That's like so many years old now -_- And for your information, Black/White Kyurem aren't actually "new" Pokémon; they're just temporary Formes.

Actually, don't even post here unless it's ACTUALLY new news.

If enough people complain about it... well...

for those that really want to complete the Dex but they dont have 5th gen, i recommend Black 2/White 2, because theres a new Pokémon there called Black Kyurem/White Kyurem. the Pokémon will differ accord to the version you are playing, and each Pokémon will have a signature move thats called Ice Burn(30% Burn) and Freeze Shock(30% Paralysis). thats only possible if you have Reshiram/Zekrom, Kyurem and a key item called DNA Splicers(i wonder if that could be transfered). besides, theres new forms of Landorus, Tornadus, Thundurus and Keldeo. to switch Keldeo to its Resolute form, he must learn the Secret Sword move. to switch the Trio, you must get the Reveal Glass
This isn't even relevant to the topic.

By the way, when DOES the pokebank come out? I haven't been keeping up with the thread.

This Friday for every region except Japan, I think.

ok i think i owe you an apologize for that post, but that wasn't me. i didn't logged in during the last 12, 14 hours because i was busy. whoever it was, i'm surprised that he/she didnt changed the password yet. i'll make sure that that will not happen again. so sorry
NaomiMinette
I just thought of something: IF we get a Shiny Charm for completing the National Dex, what would be the rate for shiny Pokémon in a Friend Safari/max PokéRadar chain? 1/100?
Ekaru
1/1000 because GameFreak
Azure_Kite
1/10, because Christmas.
Trash Boat
Do you think Nintendo will give to XY players something for Christmas? Maybe a MYSTERIOUS GIFT
Azure_Kite
I doubt it
Snepif
Talking about giving stuff for Christmas, is someone willing to help a poor trainer in need :cry: ? Well I'm kidding, but seriously, I have 2 boxes full of Dittos and none of them are Bold nature... Does anyone have a Bold Ditto and is willing to lend/give it to me ;_;? Pretty please? Or I could give you some 4IV pokes.
NaomiMinette
Funny... I have a Bold Synchronizer (Ralts) but not a Ditto... LET'S FIX THAT, SHALL WE?!
Snepif
AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO FIX IT? Going into a Friend Safari journey? Ditto hunting?
NaomiMinette
Trying to find one in a Friend Safari.

Btw, do you care if it has Impostor or not?
Snepif
Not at all, I just want it for Rotom breeding.

Ugh... Now only if Synchronize would work with me...

EDIT: I have it ready. Add my FC and we'll trade. And done!
Snepif
Thanks a lot~

At first I didn't want a Rotom, but seeing how it was always a pain to face Rotom-W... I feel like I must have it. Those resistances and all that are just too good.
NaomiMinette
The other Formes for Rotom, though... I wonder why Game Freak decided to "separate" them instead of giving us access to a room where we could freely pick its Forme like in Gen IV and V.
Ciunek
You still can pick the form though, check the boxes at the bottom of middle floor in Sycamore's lab. Unless Im mistaken and you can't switch between them after you pick one...
NaomiMinette
Huh... I didn't even notice those before...

EDIT: Just confirmed it. You can freely switch between Formes, even Recall it back to its original. (So why can you catch its other Formes, if that's the case...)
Jinxy
...You can't, though?
Trash Boat
Merry Christmas to all(well, not yet)! i have a question, who made the XY Music for the intro sequence? i may need that info if i want to create a XY Beatmap
Jinxy
Around 7-8 hours before Japan gets Pokebank, so you could check GTS then. The trade requests will probably be absurd, but eh

The other Formes ARE catchable; they just have a 1% chance of being found. (Source: the official Pokémon X/Y guide)

I'm wondering if the people who put pre-Bank offers will remember to switch out their requests. Otherwise a lot of people are gonna be very happy... :P

>1%

Still better than SMT Fiend-hunting.

That's the first time I've ever heard of it and it's not on serebii, reddit or any other large communities. 1% is high compared to, say, shiny pokemon, but youtube has loads of those but no wild rotom formes. Where exactly did you hear that source from?
Ekaru
The official Pokemon X/Y guide is not a good source at all. XD

And yet it managed to keep track of everything I needed to find, including hidden item locations (granted, not the exact grid spot, but whatever).

It's on bulbapedia.

The guide still has many things that are flat-out wrong. ;P

Serebii source (scroll down to Weekly Events)

EDIT 2: More details on Pokémon Bank are now on Serebii!

Like gigantic portions of the sections on breeding.

Also, on Route 8 the guide claims you can encounter both Seviper and Zangoose standalone encounters in both games. No, you only get Seviper ones in Y and Zangoose ones in X.

EDIT: But seriously, the "breeding advice" section was pretty much them copying Gen V information off of the internet. It's outdated and destroys the guide's credibility.
Trash Boat
well done with the title Ekaru. keep up the good work!
Jinxy
Good thing I'm focusing on VGC rated battles because the musketeers and Cresselia are everywhere in regulsr rated battles apparently. And then there are the 6-legendary teams strolling about now

EDIT: Scrolling around the list of unobtainables in BW2, a lot of them except legendaries and starters are actually in XY.

Oh, and hacked but legal pokemon are passing through the bank too I think
Snepif
Of course they are, as long as you make them look legal!
Omg I just got my copy of White so I can pass my Diamond mons to my Y game... I wonder how much it'll take me to beat it T_T and which starter is the best competitively speaking (since I don't really like any of them aesthetically)...
Jinxy
As in the most viable out of all of them or the gen 5 ones? None of them are really viable, Emboar and Samurott aren't fast enough, while Serperior doesn't have good offenses to complement its speed.

At least, until Contary Serperior becomes legal. Then shit happens.
Snepif
Mhm, I was checking their stats and they don't look so great - Serperior has a reaaaally nice speed but lacks so much power.. with so much speed one would think it would at least be a good status inducer pokémon, but I believe it lacks the bulk and movepool, judging by its stats. Anyway I'll go with it just because I prefer it over a pig and a... whatever the water-dude is xD

By the way, to keep the conversation X/Y related, I had the closest battle of my little poke-life today. Both me and my foe had only one pokémon left, he had a 1HP Blaziken due to Focus Sash and my Mega Gyarados was at 38 HP. Obviously, he was at +123123 speed due to that retarded ability, but he decided to go for High Jump Kick instead of whatever fire move he had (it was a baton passer Blaziken, no mega, protect/baton pass/hi-jumpkick/fire move I assume since it gets STAB but I didn't get to see it anyway). Well you know how it ends, he missed the kick and killed himself. I would have gone for the fire move even if it wasn't effective.. I mean I only had 38 HP left...
