Aye but in general gen5 is by far the worst gen ( in my opinion tho)
In Pokemon design yeah, it was the worst. In gameplay, it was the best.

Just in case this comes up, please note that the Australian Target has nothing to do with the American Target. Yes, they are entirely separate franchises, and yes, it's really silly.

wait, so only people in japan can get it?
or am i reading this wrong?
NaomiMinette
As far as I know, yeah. We'll probably get it in some form of distribution as well; the question is when...
mathexpert
shouldn't it be holding a .. fairy gem or something?
NaomiMinette
Or a Rock Gem because Diamond Storm...
Ekaru
I think the Normal Gem pretty much confirms that they don't want the other gems back yet, if ever.
DestinySonata
No gems please screw those one-shot things
They were a pain to get all the time

It's not completely useless, though. Exploud, mega pinsir, and mega gardevoir can all potentially use the normal gem for Boomburst, Aerilate, and Pixelate respectively. Unfortunately, gardevoir is probably the only viable one for VGC
bmin11
Would be a quite of a hassle to use the normal gem on mega pinsir and gardevoir, since you would have to use Trick on them to switch between gem <-> mega-lites. This is me not knowing what would happen to the mega evolution if it loses its item, so this could just be impossible to begin with.
DestinySonata
As far as I know, you can't trick a Pokemon who has Mega-evolved already.
mathexpert

you're right, obviously you can't give mega gardevoir or pinsir a normal gem. jesus christ i'm such a noob >//<

You can't use Trick on Pokemon holding a mega stone, period.

Hawlucha was practically designed for Flying Gem. They have to come back sometime.

Not for me. I have like 10 of each of them on Black 2. I needed to farm dust clouds for evolution stones anyway.

Afaik it applies to the Griseous Orb too. Knocking off a forme-changing item would be seriously broken.

Pokémon X & Y - Graffiti Eraser

A new Global Link attraction has been announced and launched. This attraction is called Graffiti Eraser and allows for you to get many training items including Power items and Rare Candy. To play, you need to wipe a window with your mouse or touchscreen to uncover 3 Pokémon. You then get ranked randomly and receive a random item.
Edit @ 11:13: Added full item listings to our Attractions page
14:14: In addition to this, some new features have been added to the Global Link. On the home page, in addition to seeing the most traded Pokémon on the Global Trade Station, you will now randomly get several other boxes appear. First details the most popular Pokémon in Pokémon Amie and the other deals with tipping. In this box, it will take a random tipping area, such as the restaurants in Lumiose, the traveling minstrel, the Battle Chateau and the cafés around the Kalos region. and show you the amount that have been given in tips as well as the top three players who have tipped the most

Seems like a nice alternative to get the Power items if you don't like doing BP-related stuff.

EDIT: Oh sweet, I got a Power Bracer.
Ekaru
OMG that item selection is awesome
Rorona
How do you actually get high points ._.

Everything but Shaymin's point amount is random.

Just finished watching the mega evo special it was awsome :)

Some of the dolls seem to have fixed points (at least, range-wise). Try to remember their locations before the screen gets completely covered and it shouldn't be a problem (save Celebi, who seems to randomly insert itself).

If that ends up being wrong, I guess I just got lucky on the high point range for the same dolls.

EDIT: Daily reminder that Japan always gets the awesome stuff first:

It has been revealed that the next special form of Vivillon has been announced. This form, the Fancy Pattern, is to be distributed when over 100 million Pokémon have been traded on the GTS and is to tie in with the fact that Vivillon is the most traded Pokémon. The number is currently sitting at 85 million so only has 15 million to go. It is said that the distribution will be worldwide. The actual means of distribution has yet to be confirmed but we'll post as soon as it is

Pokémon XY - Vivillon

As the GTS has reached 100 million Pokémon traded, the Vivillon pattern distribution has been announced. This pattern will run from tomorrow, July 8th, to July 31st 2014 over the Nintendo Network. This Vivillon is exclusive to this download and comes with the special move, Hold Hands, that no other Pokémon can have.
Edit @ 12:20: It is now available in all regions!

Lanturn
I wonder if that 100 million includes wonder trades and normal Internet trades? I could imagine if it isn't that there has probably been over 1 billion trades with just wonder trading.
NaomiMinette
It's probably mostly GTS trades.

Pokémon X & Y

It has been confirmed through an advert in Nat Geo magazine that two special events are coming to North America. These events are based on Mega Evolutions. First, from August 13th to September 17th, you will be able to download Heracross or Pinsir to your X & Y games over the Internet. In addition to that, if you go to Gamestop stores from August 18th to August 31st, you'll be able to receive a special serial code to download the Heracronite or Pinsirite Mega Stones. We'll provide full details on this event as it comes, including if it is in other regions.
Edit @ 16:02: Heracross comes at Level 50 with the moves Bullet Seed, Pin Missile, Close Combat, and Megahorn and will download to Pokémon X while Pinsir also comes at Level 50 with the moves X-Scissor, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Return and will download to Pokémon Y. Their abilities are random and they both have a set nature of Adamant. The Mega Stone event sends Heracronite to Pokémon X and Pinsirite to Pokémon Y.
