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...
NaomiMinette
And this is exactly why I don't like (Hi) Jump Kick.
Jinxy
hello there from wondertrade

Snepif
OMG BREED IT AND GIVE ME NAO

Nah, just kidding, asking for favors is my new trend, apparently. You can ask me whatever though ahah. I'll pass it from my Diamond in some days anyway xD
Jinxy
I am going to breed it, and send it out on WT in hopes of more non-Kalos pokemon, I'll keep en extra. Any specific nature you want?
Snepif
I was kidding though ;__; I don't really like bothering you guys. I don't really prefer any nature since I can breed for the nature I want later once I have it! Hmm, by the way, since I got Diamond, is there any D/P exclusive you guys want me to transfer to X/Y so I give it to you? Something like starters maybe?
Jinxy
Any exclusives would be great, assuming I don't find them myself from WT, lol.

I don't mind giving you one, they're relatively easy to hatch anyway
Gakkun
Successfully got the majority of the starters (except tepig and oshawott) on gts
If anyone want some pm me :3
Snepif
Well I do have every starter from every gen up until IV and stuff like Spiritomb, I'll make sure to pass those over to Y :P
If it's not a problem then you can give me a Feebas, that would be great! Just PM me, based Jinxy.

Added you, could I have any starter? I don't really have a specific one I want right now, but it's good to have.

Sure, I'm online right now.

I should really wait until tonight to WT, Japanese are more active at night and currently it's just the non-Japanese trading with each other in hopes of getting a Japanese trade

oops sorry. keep up with the goodwork too, deadbeat
Jinxy
Holy crap, thanks so much for all the starters! I ran out of decent pokemon to give halfway through though, only had 2IV pokemon left, sorry!
Gakkun
It's good. Think of it as a Christmas present ,lol. I think the egg I gave you was a cyndaquil if not just tell me ^^
NaomiMinette
Just gonna throw this out here ahead of time before Pokémon Bank comes out for the rest of us: although I don't have all the Dream World/Hidden Abilities, I do have every single Pokémon from Gen I to Gen VI (save the unreleased Legendaries, of course). If anyone wants me to breed a Pokémon with or without a Hidden Ability, tell me ahead of time (preferably in a PM so I don't lose track of requests in here). Keep in mind I won't do IV breeding; you'll have to do that yourself.

Also, assuming Pokémon Bank doesn't block out a certain Pokémon, I'll be doing something special this Friday/Saturday (depending on where you live). Anyway, Merry Christmas to everyone!
Ciunek
Got myself a Piplup and Mudkip. Time to go wild breeding and get other starters/WT the rest.

----
WT'd 10 Piplups or so already. Gotta love it when random people start using shoutout and saying stuff like "Thanks for Piplup", even in broken English~

----edit #2
Got all the starters. If you need any, tell me here/on osu! (probably faster) and I'll breed for you. For now I'm gonna continue spamming Piplups (anyone needs 4V Calm one?), since all the starters seem to disappear from GTS in 5 minutes max :P
