May Community Thread!


The April Community thread has been moved http://forums.gpx.plus/index.php?showtopic=73837

If you're new here then don't be shy! The community thread is the place to come and chat with fellow members of the site who share a common interest with you. Talk about whatever you want, whether it's GPX related or something going on in your personal life, just be sure to read the rules first before posting. There's always someone on the forums to read and respond to your posts, so chat away and maybe you'll meet some great people!

RulesMonthly Raffle

Nominations are now gone, and I'm using post count to determine how many entries you have into the raffle. The first 19 posts you have will count as one entry, and every ten after that will count as an extra. Think of it as the first number of your post count is how many entries you have. To see what your post count is, click on the number of replies any certain thread has. Nothing else on the site will influence the amount of entries you receive, so if you'd like a chance to win, then post here frequently!

The raffle is what chooses who gets to choose what's in next month's egg distribution. There are no other site advantages other than that, and even then the whole site gets a chance at that Pokémon that you chose!

May Egg Distribution!


How to get an egg from this eventIMPORTANT EVENT NOTES
  1. No, you do NOT have to be online at the time I am sending out eggs.
  2. These eggs do NOT show up in the Lab for the event. They are sent out randomly.
  3. There is ONE set shiny for each Pokémon, but every other egg has a regular chance of being shiny.
  4. If you obtain ONE of the eggs from this event, you will NOT be able to obtain another one from this same event. This means if you get an egg on day 1 of this event, you can't get an event egg from any other day during this event. By the way, abandoning an event egg does nothing. So if you get one you might as well keep it and be happy.
  5. If we find any accounts being made just to get eggs from the event then they will be immediately banned along with your main.
  6. If you were a winner of the raffle, your chosen Pokémon will be spawned into your party on the day of the event. It won't be forced shiny, but there's always a small chance just like any other egg! This will not count as an event egg and you can still receive one from the event.
  7. There is no guarantee that you'll receive an egg. There have been about 3k users online daily and there are only 1,750 eggs going out, so that at least gives you a little more than a 50% chance at getting something.
  8. Eggs chosen will not be available to pick from again for 3 months. If x egg was in the January egg distribution, then it can not be chosen again until April.
  9. The event runs at 4 p.m. server time.

Well, somehow or another, it's May. This is so weird. So, so weird. How is it almost the middle of the year already? I'm really not liking the arrival of summer and the disappearance of nice, cool weather. sad.gif I just hope it won't flood over here again. I came out of it fine (for the most part; my parents' car got flooded), but others weren't so lucky.

I'm going to re-post part of my (way too late) post in the April thread:

People were talking about completing the in-game dexes. Well, I have an offer: I have a living dex minus a few event legendaries in my Pokébank, so if anyone wants some help with the dex, let me know! I'd love to either simply trade something for you or breed anything you need. happy.gif

Yay it's May! It's gonna be a good month. Started out by wining the raffle (enjoy the legendary fire chickens cat.gif ), then my birthday is on the 20th, and Fire Emblem Fates comes out the day after! I'm so excited grin.gif I can see me accomplishing nothing with life once I get FE Fates.

Posted by: Shadow Fennekin Apr 30 2016, 11:02 PM

Still can't believe it's May already, like slow down a bit XD. My niece is going to be turning 5 this month, its crazy.

So, is that why you went with Moltres? It's the ORIGINAL "Fire Emblem"? Plus? Legendary Bird TRIO, there are three Fates, etc.

Nah. You probably just like the bird. LOL And technically, Chamander's line would probably be the original Fire emblem.

@ Synx: I think the only time I've ever finished a handheld Pokedex was Yellow? Even with having both primary games in each generation. {As well as the third if/when they were released.} And like whoever it was commented in April's thread, I'm nowhere NEAR needing trades to complete ORAS.

@ Shadow Fennekin: I was thinking Celebi and Cresselia. But then I saw that Celebi is a monthly exploration, so now I'm not certain.

Posted by: Esc Apr 30 2016, 11:18 PM

Yay new month. Exams are over, ended with an A average so im happy with that grin.gif!
I'll probably go for Xerneas or the last mon, whatever that may be.

Hahaha completely unintentional but that Moltres + FE Fates thing actually worked out pretty well xD

I was thinking the same about Celebi...I don't know if they'd have the exploration active, plus make it one of the mystery distributions hmmyes.gif Though for the second mystery the first thing I thought of was Autumn Tropius because of the 'tropical environment' bit...

It's happened before where a monthly exploration reward was also a giveaway mon. Plus it's the only one involved with time travel besides Dialgia, and the heart part pushes it more towards Celebi.
Cresslia? Hm....

Okay so this is a funny coincidence. My birthday happens to be fire chicken day (is it too much to hope for a naked chicken?), and my daughter's birthday is also the 20th! I think my site anniversary is sometime towards the end of this month too, and my sister-in-law's birthday is the 15th. Ugh.

This was actually really good timing though. I just finished my last final of the semester earlier today so my schedule's clearing up. That means I get to celebrate and click a little bit before I dive back into classwork on the 17th. Maybe before then I'll finally get that Arceus I started on in like... February? I'm on the last task I've just been too busy to finish it.

Posted by: Dusky Flareon Apr 30 2016, 11:27 PM

Hey Synx, I'd be interested in filling my Dex. I play on weekends of the timezone UTC -8h, local time 10AM to 9PM. PM me on times, please and thank you. Also, I need to go look up my FC so. I'd be happy with juetbthe nonEvent Dex entries I'm missing, meaning I don't need to keep anything.

So... Xerneas handout eh? I'm interested. Hopefully I can get one. I wonder what that last one is...

Yeah. But at those times a Raffle winner chose the pokemon that also had the monthly exploration unlocked, iirc. And we were told, "If a winner chooses a pokemon that is already scheduled to be in the monthly exploration, we won't change it." Or something to that effect.

I'm hoping to have another lucky month of events, shinies, and visits from the prankster/portal/old man/etc

I went up about 10,000 placements in user ranking last month too! I hope to do the same! xD

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine May 1 2016, 12:29 AM

It is hard to believe it's already May. I'm doing Tour of Illusions right now and I think I may do the Celebi one later. I also have my Mother's Day gift all prepared, even though it's next week. I was happy the second part of it came in the mail yesterday as I was getting a bit worried.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant May 1 2016, 12:47 AM

Glad people liked the Xerneas I picked. I always wanted to go with Xerneas if I ever won the raffle(if it wasn't picked before that is). Not sure what I'll be going for, I have plenty of time to decide. I'll probably go with Xerneas though, try to get double the chance at a shiny tongue.gif.

Started Tour of Illusions and now I am sitting here waiting for another 45 minutes or so until the VS Seeker is ready. I'm just going to hope my Lucario wins otherwise this is going to be annoying. No matter the outcome I'll be going to bed.

Posted by: Synx Itax May 1 2016, 01:22 AM

I finally got a Korechu. Thank goodness.

Wish my shiny luck would actually return. It seems to come and go in waves.

Posted by: Caprice May 1 2016, 01:29 AM

Hello to everyone, I am somebody who found her way to this website six days ago, after a 3 year if not more absence. grin.gif I just completed a shiny hunt that was started at 11/11, I guess it's telling how "old" here I am.

I have to say, I'm loving how you guys improved over this time. The website isn't THAT different from when I left, but everything is a better here and there (buttons 1-5 in berry feeder, for instance). And there are sooo many new pokemon I have to catch - still have to discover how to get those I didn't randomly catch in the shelter, and what to do with some of the items I got (like those regional flags...). But at least for now, it brings me that joy I had when I just joined this website in 2009. Really looking forward for this month of May as my first one being back.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant May 1 2016, 01:29 AM

Against all odds, Lucario was the victor!

Oh thank heavens it won on the first shot. I was actually worried that I'd be stuck on that task for ages, but first try? Sweet. This poor guy needs berries to feel better:

http://r.gpx.plus/WLsiS

With that I'm off to bed. Hopefully when I wake up the berry task is done and over with.

Now to hope winter really has gone!

Posted by: Kaleisum May 1 2016, 01:58 AM

Lol, I wanted to summon Victini using Legend Voucher but here it is, Babysitting Adventure. ^^

Also, I can't believe it's May already (I'm glad becuase we have two national holidays on May 1st and 3rd, so I have work-free days). Too bad I have to spend them on studying for my theory of politics exam.

For the last few years, my friend and I started doing this 'pinch and punch' thing. On the last day of the month, we both stay up until midnight until the date ticks over, and the first person to message the other saying 'pinch and a punch for the first of the month' is the winner :P Proud to say I won this month haha.

I'm happy that winter is finally coming! I hate the summer heat so I'm glad that's over with.

Ooh Meloetta is the 5th of May
That's cool! That's on a Holiday! (Where I live, at least)
That's clever! Thank you, Jen cat.gif

I can't choose between another Meloetta, a Celebi, orrrrrrrr that last one
But I still have the entire day to decide (luckily)

Looking forward to the other events that are planned... in May all birds lay eggs... they say
So an egg decorating contest or so? :P Who knows~

Posted by: Cycloneblaze May 1 2016, 04:55 AM

Well it's May now, although I don't really care until Tuesday when my exams are finished. Then I'm freeeee... apart from that I need a summer job. ._.
I forgot about Fates this month, I'd love to nab a special edition if I can. Maybe if I get that job fast enough :p I'm still looking forward to seeing Captain America this month too, when I get the chance to.

The last trinket set is this month, too ;_;7 I have a bunch of pending trinkets so I hope most of 'em go in. I'll probably try to get firebird as my egg, but I got nothing last month noes.gif

Oh, yeah, and I'm sorry I missed that story in chat, Raven bucktooth.gif

Posted by: PokeNOM NOM NOM May 1 2016, 05:00 AM

Oooh, where did April go? I usually like the month of May, so that's fine!
I hope the weather will start to gradually get better and slightly warmer.

I'm still thinking on what distribution to go for.
I like Moltres, but Xerneas is tempting too... Choices, choices. x3

@ Caprice: Good to see you enjoy the site again! Welcome back!

what happened to last month

why do I always forget to be more active in these threads

Oh well. I think I'll try to get Meloetta, she's one of my favorite legendaries and it'd be cool to get a shiny. That second mystery entry is also tempting...

Posted by: Kaleisum May 1 2016, 06:51 AM

Oh wow, babysitting isn't that hard, after all. Victini's one of my favorite legends (so cute and all).
I hope to get Xerneas out of the egg distribution.

Also, I hatched shiny Sandile before I managed to get a good IVs and nature one. x< I guess I'll have to start another Sandile shiny hunt.

Weather is getting better, yay! I plan on going to a bbq tmrw and I'm excited (I miss drinking cold beer on a nice evening).

Only legendaries and novelties are offered in the raffle.

Anyway thank Arceus someone choose Xerneas. Unless one of the mystery eggs turns out to be a new novelty, I'm going for Xerneas.

This. xD I can never keep up with these things.


Now I don't know if I should go for Xerneas (I need another for the living dex) or Meloetta (really want the shiny). Probably Meloetta. For the explorations, I'll do Cobalion and maybe Celebi if I'm not too burnt out on feeding tasks dumb Dedenne or Suicune. Haven't done the catdogs in a while.

I'm... half looking forward to Fates (have preordered two just in case though, even though every store around here has at least one Bravely Second SE left, I'm not pushing my luck), I'm probably going to be utterly confused by all those possibilities. You CAN beat them without all that min maxing stuff, right?
Well. If I even have time to play them. Trying to get back into Story of Seasons right now.

Oh and here's the annoying Dedenne if anyone wants to save me:

Might go for Xerneas or something this month.
Really didn't post much until the end of the month last month, but I'm gonna try to post more.

But yeah, now that I've go the shiny charm I'll be doing a lot of soft resetting. Currently doing Dialga. happy.gif

A Doctor with a TARDIS well, the only time traveler I know is Celebi so I guess it's him. Dialga can time travel too now I think about it, but to find a way to our heart, he's going to smash us in the belly.
That reminds me this comic:

I may very well have to take you up on that offer. Here's my living dex so far: http://www.livingdex.xyz/user/tulaash

Anyways, I bought an extra Snorlax plush from the Goodwill (it's not very big since it's from BK), and I was wondering if I should give it to a guy who's about 2 years older than me as a way to say thanks (long story short I think he's one of the few people who actually likes me, which is kind of nice, since I'm used to everyone hating me). He's also helped me a lot in percussion and is very patient.

Posted by: SilverPT May 1 2016, 09:19 AM

I went ahead and bought a LVP and summoned a Landorus. That way, if everything goes according to plans, I'll get a complete Dex (aside from Arceus [Normal]) on May 4th. happy.gif

Also, I'm betting on Celebi and Valencian Oddish. "Vileplume was one of the many alternately colored Pokémon that lived near Professor Ivy's lab. In Poké Ball Peril, a group of Vileplume went out in the night to bask in the moonlight." @ Bulbapedia, refering what in GPX+ is Valencian Vileplume.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant May 1 2016, 10:27 AM

Well I just woke up, whoops XD. I got woken up at 9 by my parents rudely banging around in the kitchen. I checked on Zoroark to see where it was and don't remember falling back asleep. Woke up 3 hours later sweat.gif.

Finished the exploration and picked Raikou this time. I know its a slim chance of hatching shiny, but I can dream. Not sure if I'll go after the Musketeers now or go after Victini instead. I can't decide irritated.gif.

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine May 1 2016, 10:28 AM

*kicks Vs. Seeker* Now I know why this isn't used much for explorations anymore.

I don't know which of the distribution Pokemon I'm going for. I'm still intrigued by the first one.

I haven't really thought about working on my living dex. I only have a couple of the games so I'm not sure how I would in the first place.

EDIT:
http://r.gpx.plus/zhiiS
Looks as if the second time did the trick. Help her out please?

Posted by: Vande May 1 2016, 11:27 AM

I've had a rather lazy day, minus food shopping. Not back at work until Wednesday (due to Public hol on Monday) and a day off on Tuesday weee)!

Lazy day feels like I wasted the day though lol

I realised I only need to do x2 more explorations to 100. So started on the Trio and just made it to feeding task:

Regarding Living Dex on main series games, I don't have one although I've a complete National Dex on Y. I'll probably invest on that when the new games get released.

One berry left. I would deeply appreciate if someone used Defog Power. It turned foggy when it was missing 3. -_-2.gif

I've never seen anything associating Cresselia with tropical environment (not even its in-game location). :/ Besides, I went to check Valencian Oddish flavour text on GPX and it says "This variant of Oddish comes from Valencia Island, where it adapted to the tropical environment. It loves to dance around under the moonlight while it sleeps during the day."

How? They started filming not even one month ago. The problem with Sherlock, at least this season, was Benedict's filming schedule (Zoolander 2 and Doctor Strange). Unless they manage to rush things and release it around December at best.

With the new explorations out, I'm gonna finish up my current exploration and go for the exploration that will give me Raikou, Entei, or Suicune, assuming I met the requirements.

Also, I got 83 points now. I'm having the temptation to spend it all, but I'm holding off for now except to get my dream Fossil Amaura by buying the Sail Fossil.

Well I decided to go do the Victini exploration and I just finished it. I was originally going to go after one of the Musketeers, but then I remembered there was a berry feeding task. I'm glad I went with Victini, the fog would have drove me bonkers. This was the fastest time I've done that exploration, took me 53 mins, 57 secs to finish the exploration. Got a decent amount of clicking done today too, now if only I can finish a few shiny hunts.

My day isn't going too bad so far, other than waking up at noon. I've been hatching eggs in Y for a shiny Litleo, I gathered 6 boxes last night before I went to sleep. I'm already half way through my 4th box, looking doubtful that I'll get a shiny though.

Can't wait until supper, family decided yesterday that we were going to have a turkey supper. My house smells like turkey and it is amazing.

As Martin Freeman (who plays Doctor Watson) says on a recent interview in the Graham Norton Show, "We are back filming now and the three shows will, I imagine, be out around Christmas". So yeah.
It's indeed a lack of time due to the "hype" around Cumberbatch %)
You can also see some pictures taken during filming, on Mark Gatiss's twitter (co producer and he plays Mycroft)!

Despite being British, I actually prefer Elementary much more than Sherlock, which is basically the New York version. Jonny Lee Miller is a much more convincing Holmes and still has the same present-day aspects that the Sherlock series. For me, Cumberbatch has the same problem as Robert Downey Jr - they can talk fast but it becomes a mumbled mess it's hard to work out what they're saying.

On the flip side, I'm really looking forward to Zoolander 2 (if it hasn't been released already). I was pleasantly surprised how good the first one was.

I was finally able to catch Azelf on Shuffle. It cost me a lot to get it though, but I'm glad I got it over with. I'm also thinking about purchasing some more jewels for this month because the effect ran out yesterday.

I decided to do Celebi again because I haven't done it in almost a year so please give Celebi a Cheri berry?

Wooo May! My birthday month! Will finally be old enough to get a driver's license, but it'll probably be a while before I actually try to get that. tongue.gif

Last trinket set? Aww, well that's kinda disappointing, but completely understandable. Wish I would have sent in more trinkets I've made (and I still had a crap ton of ideas for trinkets, but they'll still be fun to sprite). At least my goal of collecting all of them seems more plausible now. xP.gif

For the explorations, most likely will do the Celebi one, and not sure about which one I would do next (though it all depends if I actually get around to them).

Then for the egg distribution, if the first one is Celebi, then it's kinda tempting, but I will most likely go for Xerneas.

And I not happy about the weather warming up. I like it colder. At least school will be ending soon, so there's that. happy.gif

I finally gave up on SRing for Cresselia for now. I'm gonna go ahead and try to get the shiny charm, but I have quite a ways to go.
Hopefully I can stay motivated and actually get it done.

Hm, I might actually have to be on the look out for that. I've mainly just ignored everything about it so I'll be more excited for them; essentially going in 'blind'.

Ooooh. Man, I really want to see those, but I kinda also want to try to stay away from as much information as I can about the games and see how it goes playing the game without knowing like majority of the Pokemon and everything.

But I don't think I'll be able to stay away from leaks. -_-2.gif
And it's especially hard to stay away from leaks while on the internet. Those things are everywhere there

I'm sure I probably don't have the willpower to not look up information, but we'll see what happens.

Posted by: Asbel Lhant May 1 2016, 05:45 PM

I don't care that much for Sun/Moon so I'm going to look at all the spoilers I can. I want to know if the game is worth it after the slight disappointment I felt with X/Y(and by some extent ORAS). I'd rather not hype myself up for the game and be disappointed with it.

Well the Darkrai event is happening...too bad I live nowhere near a Gamestop/EB Games sad.gif. Of all the Pokemon to miss, it is one of my favorite legends. I already have a shiny Darkrai from the Member's Card event in Platinum but I hate missing out on events. It really irks me that they'd bring events to stores rather than have them both store events and wifi events. That way at least people like me can get events.

That's actually a very plausible choice. In the games, Prof. Elm says that Spiky-Eared Pichu is a time traveler just like Celebi.

I've been super busy with explorations lately...trying to do all the Normal ones I want stuff from before I set of on Death of the World again. I might also squeeze Tour of Illusions in there too if I feel like it because the slight chance at a shiny Entei/Suicune/Raikou would be cool. For the distribution, I'll get my Moltres, and then I'll try for Xerneas to get it's Active Form for my living dex. If not Xerneas, I'll try for the last mystery Pokemon ^^

I'm happy the super busy mid-semester time is over at uni now! So I'll have a few weeks to take it easy before final assignments and exams start. I was making good progress on my dex in ORAS, so I'll have to get back into that now and finish it off. I wont be touching ORAS for a long time once FE Fates comes out, so my goal is to have the dex done before I get that. I have like 3 weeks, woo!

Last time they said it we just got Magearna's type..... which pretty much EVERYONE knew just from looking at the Pokemon. Not really "news". Hopefully they go ahead and tell us the types of whatever is shown.

I enjoy both the BBC Sherlock series and Elementary. I thought Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes was nice, but I prefer the other two. I'm always interested in seeing the Sherlocks and Watsons interact, I like how each pair has chosen their own way of portraying that relationship.

The first season of Elementary is being aired (again) where I live, I'm re-watching it. Maybe I should get the DVD box of more seasons, I keep enjoying it.

Has anyone been playing Mini Mario and Friends Amiibo Challenge? It's pretty amusing. Though I think it would be a lot better if you had all of the Mario series amiibos to get the most out of the game.

I really liked the first season of Elementary, Miller is indeed a good choice to act Sherlock Holmes. I don't know which season I'm watching right now but it's more like an other investigation serie to me, I don't have the same chills I had with the first season.

The movie with Downey Jr is... well, pleasant, perhaps too much action scenes.
Cumberbatch is really difficult to understand when he speaks fast, I have to admit that; he doesn't articulate enough to me who is not a englishgirl x) I need english subtitles to fully understand what he says. But I also like Gatiss and Freeman, they do an amazing job and Dr Watson is so cute. Production point of view, I really like this modern version, that's why I was a bit disappointed about the last episode in January. But the mix is nice too, a bit incomprehensible. Mark Gatiss makes an amazing job to me. ^^

I was able to finish it much faster this time.
Your fastest completion: 10 days, 22 hours
Your slowest completion: 1 month, 1 day

Now I need to figure out what exploration I want to do next.
I think I'll be going for Tour of Illusions first, and... still going back and forth between The Quiet Forest and A Trio of Trials.

I had to read all of the Sherlock Holmes stories in high school, and I'm a big fan of the character. I tend to ramble on quite a bit when it comes to the various incarnations. Since this got a bit long, I put them under a spoiler.

The actual first time I watched through the first few seasons was with my crappy ex so I don't really want to keep watching the series even though I did like it for the most part. It kind of started stressing me out after a while, but I'm not sure if that was the show or the company. You aren't weird for not watching, and being scared off by the more "intense" scenes is better than not realizing they were there and watching the first episode with your dad.. facepalm.gif I can only talk about the first couple of seasons, but even though they felt a little gratuitous for me (I'm not really a fan of the graphic stuff, others may feel it's just the right amount but I'd rather people weren't naked in the first place), the scenes did have to do with the plot so I didn't feel like they were telling me "okay now pause the story and here's some porn."

I got 30 pokemon towards my dex yesterday, just 450 to go~

@Luneon I loooveee MHA! It's so cool! They're all adorable.

I love how the story is progressing. (AND I ADORED THE COMPLIMENT SCENE AT THE END OF THE EPISODE)
That was just heart-warming <3
I'm curious to find out about the other characters' quirks. Ok I know I could visit the wiki... but... SPOILERS.
And I already found a huge spoiler while looking for Uraraka pics there T__T

Ha, that's definitely me. I get really excited to start off with, and then I still monitor the thread as the month progresses but I rarely post anything. Most of the time it's because I'm counting my pass orbs and I'm curious about the monthly distributions. There's a lot of interesting talk here, so it's just a matter of finding something that rocks your boat happy.gif

First few days I barely post anything (cause everyone goes so fast!)
Aaaaand as the month progresses and everyone slows down, I post more because it's easier to keep up with :P
But it would be fun to have more people then, so you're more than welcome to post more!
You might even win the raffle

I just realized that within 2 weeks, we'll probably get some CoroCoro leaks for Pokemon Sun and Moon! I can't wait to actually see some gameplay of the new games!

YESSSSSSSS I am so looking forward to that! I wanna know what starters and types we'll be getting
I hope they're cute? grin.gif *shot*
Or perhaps 1 or 2 of the (other) legendaries...

The weather is improving here! It seems like we'll have sunshine and only a gust of wind today. Looks nice!
And as I'm typing this, I can hear the soft chirping from the common starling-nest near my window. Seems like the eggs hatched!
I can see parent starlings fly back and forth with their beaks full of insects. ^^

I noticed that as well! The past week been so terribly awful and today it's all sunny and birds are chirping (and falling) and random bird eggs were found o_O and dead birds... so I guess spring is really here now (I hope?)

YES I WANT SUMMER <3
Getting so sick of the 6C-8C I want my 25C and then I'll be content and happy
Luckily this week it's all double digits it seems! So there's hope wink.gif

Especially in the beginning of the month they're difficult to keep up with but you should definitely return halfway cause the pace is a lot lower :P Maybe 1 or 2 pages max per day? Sometimes it even takes 3 days to fill up ONE page so.... (usually with only a few days of the month left)
I do recommend it. You aren't required to, don't worry XD I'm just saying/advertising it so we have more people throughout the month grin.gif Not that the same group ever gets boring, no one is boring here.
But you're 100%, no, 200% welcome to rejoin us later in the month or stick here throughout the month.


My problem is that I keep getting distracted by other things and then I can't really get into the conversations anymore, and with most of them being real life related it's extra hard for someone who can barely leave the house to buy food once a week. So I'm just sitting here, playing obscure and/or old games that no one else does and have nothing to talk about. xD

Also, after the gen 6 disappointment and losing motivation halfway through OR, I'm not terribly excited for Sun/Moon. sad.gif

Lezzie Mutt : thank you for your argumentated answer!
I approve it in all. Well, maybe I didn't see enough the relationship between holmes and watson in elementary because I'm a bit fed up about the inevitable crime scene part. The idea to make watson a woman is a great idea because it doesn't spoil the fond of the character. Watson is a kind and smart person, and can be a man or a woman. Lucy Liu is also great.

Haha I see a non-moffat and I approve that too xD He did the same with Doctor Who for me and I'm so glad he quits. I can't stand his choices of changing and acting like he did, the doctor became like the companion of the companion for severals episodes; but I thought it was not that bad on Sherlock because Gatiss is here to stop a bit this megalomaniac tendencies; Gatiss read and grow up with the books. It's true that Irene is not as important as she is in the books and this is a pity.

Funny because I had the same thing with GoT. My creepy ex-boyfriend wanted to watch it with the walking dead and I think about a creepy spirit about this. He had really weird tastes I should seen it before.


my big brother is still frozen in cold, he's a victim of Elsa, please help him:

Hey All!

I've been away for a while dealing with some real life stress and let me just say... it doesn't do much for the wrinkles or for tired eyes. *small smirk* With the start of a new week (especially one where the boss isn't coming in all week long) though, and finally (I think) working through things with my youngest... I'm ready to try and be sociable again. So... hello *waves sheepishly*

Looks like today is a good day to try and keep a party slot open if you love mysteries. Not sure if the Pokemon today and Friday have been figured out... but I'm brimming with curiosity (as always). I also wanted to congratulate this month's prize winners: Eevee64, Asbel Lhant, and Luneon. Kudos to our talkers and interacters from last month. happy.gif I do love the choices you all chose so, if I don't get today... I'm tempted to let fate play out and leave a spot open. I think I know what Friday's will be, so yeah, I foresee me keeping a spot open all week until, and unless, I get lucky and am rewarded with an event egg. We'll see. We'll see.

I'm finishing up the Ditto explore now and just waiting for a "handful" of randomness to toss berries at my purple blob. Since he doesn't seem to need anything specific, I won't add his pretty picture here and just hope for the best. Once that is done I have decided to work on the following special explorations because of the four available, the other two I've completed 5 times and these two only 4 times. And those explores would be... Tour of Illusions and A Trio of Trials. Since I've done them both 4 times, I guess I'll probably just vie for the first option and work on those explores until a shiny happens by me. Which, I highly doubt, will be this month. My legendary shiny luck is kind of nil to none. LOL But no time like the present to start hoping to change that, right?

I guess the only other thing I know that is going on Pokemon wise is my youngest told me about the in-game Zygarde Pokemon giveaway. So I have to STOP playing my Yellow game so I can look into getting that for as many of my other games as I can. After laundry tonight, I think that's a plan. Hopefully it wasn't just a weekend thing I missed (she told me about it on Saturday and I so hope that it didn't end that night.... *eek*!)

Hope you all are doing well and that this week will be far better than last week. Here's hoping. Right?

Posted by: Orenji May 2 2016, 12:22 PM

Eek, I actually mentioned Robert Downey Jr because of him as an actor and actually completely forgot he played Sherlock at one point...Goes to show how long it's been happy.gif To be honest I actually can't remember much of the film itself either, which probably speaks volumes in how memorable it was. I seem to recall it being very loose to the concept though.

@Lezzie Mutt: Very interesting read of your breakdown and totally agree. I too despised how weak they made Irene in Sherlock and I had actually forgotten how much of the script was about Sherlock saying, "I'm an asexual sociopath". Moffat was always a sexist writer, so in a way Irene's fate was already decided. Mark Gatiss is about the only one I like in the whole series and Lestrade looks like an old boss of mine...who ironically was just as clueless as him XD

The thing I love so much about Elementary is the relationship with Holmes and Watson without the romance. It was probably so tempting to make it happen, but the writers and the actors got it down to a t to show it's a duo and one is no better than the other.

In respect of "there's another body" or "it's a new person on screen - they're either going to die, find a dead person or find a body part", it can get a bit predictable. The cases themselves are always very interesting, but I can see why it can be repetitive. They do try and break it up a bit with certain aspects of humour, and sometimes they can be worth it.

I'd like to get into GoT, but you know, gore...

Posted by: Lezzie Mutt May 2 2016, 12:23 PM

Oh my days, thank you for letting us know about the events! I would have definitely missed out. Now to make sure I don't miss out on the other two x:

Orenji: I totally forgot to stress how much I love the lack of romance because I forgot that, as best friends, that could even be a thing. There's no room for them spontaneously hooking up, which is so so nice because that door is entirely closed - and the show is much better for the lack of romantic chemistry (which I agree must have been tempting to the writers at some point.)

Coupling, one of Moffat's earlier shows, is still my go-to when I need something to have on in the background, and I do love some parts of it, but the more I re-watch the show, the more obviously sexist it is. When you've watched the jokes so many times, the humor and the laugh track stop hiding just how warped his views on gender really are. (Men are sex-obsessed idiots who can't form opinions on fabric, women are man-obsessed and manipulative and irrationally upset a lot of the time.) While I would easily bet that it was their intention, the show does a very good job of showing how not communicating can make a relationship horrible. It's a sit-com but everyone behaves in such damaging ways. It's funny, but if you read into it at all it becomes frustrating because they don't ever learn to do any better and it seems like everyone is just settling because they're afraid to be alone. Maybe it's my own issues making the damaging behaviors more obvious, but I do wonder if Moffat has ever interacted with any actual women, to have such distorted views of them. Though given how he seems to perceive men, I wonder if he's met many of those as well - and that's staying within the binary because I am terrified to think of how he might try and write anyone who didn't fit into the two already broad categories he's already attempted...

I've loved Rupert Graves since I first saw him in Different For Girls. He doesn't get nearly the same chance to shine in Sherlock and that's a bit sad to me.

Posted by: Mamanator May 2 2016, 12:36 PM

Speaking of Elementary... I used to be an avid watcher of the show. Not quite sure what happened, but I found myself tempted to watch last night's episode. My only hangup? Coming in after so much time has elapsed and I'm not sure what happened to bring our two main characters to where they are today. I'm glad that they're still working together and the show hasn't gone all "he's a guy... she's a girl... it's inevitable." What a refreshing change! I am currently watching (re) the X-Files (through Netflix) and can feel the vibe of them wanting to push Mulder and Scully together. I think they came close a couple of times (and some of the fans even wanted it to happen), but if I recall correctly they never did and it made the relationship that much more complex and (imo) believable. Men and women can work closely together without having to... you know. wink.gif

I've never watched Sherlock on the BBC though. My daughter has and says it is a wonderful show I should really watch. Did Moffat write for that, like he did for the Doctor? Wow! Now I might have to watch it! LOL

I am trying to nudge my eldest back into GoT and, if she holds out much longer, then I'm going to watch all seasons (we now own season 5) through a binge-a-thon one very soon weekend coming up. I hate not knowing what happened in season 5 and love having seen the HBO commercials (on regular cable, of course) that show Tyrion, at least, is still with us. I just hope someone who does watch it can confirm that Jon Snow is with us still, too. I've heard ugly rumors and it'll just tick me off beyond measure if he's gone, too. crying.gif

As for Robert Downey Jr., I actually like him. As an actor. I haven't seen the new Captain America movie [yet], but, much like the Batman v Superman movie (which I also haven't seen yet), I'm unsettled that Iron Man is at odds with Captain America. I'm hoping its all a misunderstanding that gets resolved and they team up together again. I'm going to be missing Thor in this movie though. Aren't I? *sigh*

I believe Moffat did write for Sherlock. It's on my Netflix list...

I'm slightly annoyed because I wanted Darkrai since this month is my birthday month(even though I already have a Darkrai ingame), and we went to GameStop on Saturday after the Ratchet and Clank movie when if we went Sunday we could have gotten a code. I guess I have the rest of the month to get one though.

Haven't posted on here in a while.

Just bought FE Fates yesterday and I like it pretty well. Only other FE game I played in the past was FE7, which was obviously a bit older, but its still pretty fun. I picked Birthright because I'm a noob (and I've already gotten 2 characters killed so its a good thing I chose the easier version oh.gif)

I had Kill Rock 'n Roll stuck in my head earlier, now it has shifted to Hypnotize.


Also, it's weird seeing people use Celsius when they're talking about the temperature because we rarely ever use it here. I have to convert it to see about how much you guys are talking about. And America is basically the only one that uses Fahrenheit on a normal basis.

Sweet, got a Celebi egg from the distribution grin.gif. I was going to wait for Moltres/Xerneas but Celebi works for me, gives me a chance at the shiny(yeah right, like that will ever happen).

Work was busy today, we finally got some freight. I actually had things to do today so my day just seemed to fly past. I get a bit of a break and don't have to work until 1pm tomorrow so I can sleep in for once. I'm just going to hope that they don't get all of the freight finished before I show up.

OMG I'm sooooo happy that shiny Xerneas and Yveltal are going to be through the Nintendo Network crazy.gif. I was so angry that they shiny locked them in the games. I'd have rather caught one with my own OT but at least the event is coming over this way and through wifi at that. This makes up for the events that I cannot go to a Gamestop/EB Games for *grumbles about those mystical events*.

Thanks for the congrats guys on shiny Litleo. She's only my second shiny on this particular save file(I got a shiny Gulpin from hordes). I'm going to start training her eventually, going to wait a while though in case I hatch a shiny male one.

Mamanator: indeed Moffat is the producer of Sherlock, with Mark Gatiss.
It's a fact that when you rewatch every episode that Moffat wrote, there is sexism on it. The two last season of Doctor Who were a pain to watch with Clara.

Sorry, I'm a bit bitter right now. I have just learned that I missed something and I didn't get any comfort, but more the impression that I'm a total failure. That makes me really sad.

I'm so happy about the shiny Yveltal distribution. I've always wanted one for my games. happy.gif

Probably tomorrow or so, I'm going to go pick up some Darkrai codes. We have several Gamestops within a 5 mile radius, so there are always tons of extra codes. They usually ask me how many I want. I'll probably pick up some extras, and if I have some left over, perhaps I'll hook someone up in here.

I see that people are happy about summer. Not me. I hate the heat, and our summers are both brutally hot and humid. -_-2.gif I'd like for it to be 45-60 degrees year-round, thank you very much. Even colder would be more than fine. Also overcast, not sunny.

(The Celsius system just doesn't appeal to me. It seems like there's not enough of a range to describe the temperature, so I'd rather that we here in the US do not adopt it...)

Posted by: Mamanator May 2 2016, 08:22 PM

My GameStop said that they were only allowed to give out 2 codes per person. When I asked, in a hushed whisper, if I could come back tomorrow for two more, he was like... well, you are here often enough... so that was how I left with 5. The first time he was only going to give me 2, and I was like "well, that will leave my girls arguing with each other, so I guess I get them both." *insert evil smirk* So then he gave me 3. I asked how many games Darkrai was good for and he's good for all 4 recent ones. That was when he relented and gave me 2 more. So I need, at minimum, one more and the girls will just have to pick and choose which game to call Darkrai to.

I can pass by another one on my way home from work tomorrow, and that's where I plan to go. Then I'll probably go back to mine on the weekend when, I hope, the really nice clerk knows me and usually gives me 4 or 5 codes without blinking. From him I could probably get more, if they have them.

Sorry to hear you were feeling down, Shaoo. I know the feeling. Last week was a horrid week. I hope things turns around for you. It sounds like they might have so I hope that's the case. happy.gif

How so? It goes from -273.15°C to thousands. And it's very straight-forward, for example, with 0°C defined as the freezing point of water and 100°C defined as the boiling point of water.

While I agree that the metric system is usually more straightforward, and that celsius has its place, it makes more sense to have Farenheit used in the context of people and weather. If its 100 degrees farenheit outside then it means that it,s really hot and you should bring water if you plan on going outside for long. That temperature in celsius is about 37 degrees. Anything much higher than that and something is seriously wrong.
With farenheit you have a wider selection of temperatures that are likely to impact people. With Celsius, degrees are worth more, which is all right for dealing with high ranges of degrees for science and such, but is impercise at smaller ranges.
Hope what I said makes sense. I'm tired.

Ooooh in my country we use Celsius and I would actually prefer universal use, but your argument is really good. It makes more sense to use Fahrenheit when talking about temperatures that affect people. But still, since Celsius is better for water and that's important because snow and weather and stuff, and we are aiming for the best way to make temperature measuring useful to people, it still makes a bit of sense to use either? If we were to use both in weather reports, as in, Fahrenheit for feel and Celsius for the sake of measuring and picturing the matter state water will be in (lol), it would be a bit confusing, though.

Anyway I'm tired too, so I'm not making much sense.

This is exactly why. In the context of people, Fahrenheit (at least to me) makes more sense. When I'm talking about range, I mean when it comes to the average inside/outside temperature here on Earth. 30-100, for instance. When I think of 30 degrees, I think of it being cold. When I think of 100, I think of it being hot. With Celsius, 0 is cold and 30 is hot, and that's just... not enough of a range for me. I guess I like having more numbers in between the extremes.

I like the metric system otherwise, but that's one thing that I'd never enjoy.

Okay. So I know for a fact that the George Washington Family portrait painted by Edward Savage has featured in another book that the one I'm currently reading, Steve Berry's The Patriot Threat. I can recall the character's mentioning that the fact that the people in the painting were connected but at the same time DISconnected, since George Washington was touching his stepgrandchild's shoulder who, in turn, was touching a globe while no one was looking at each other? I can't recall the exact wording of the statement, however.

Does anyone happen to know the other book that might have been in?

Also, I found out how Gamestop runs out of codes so fast.
I go in, look at the cheap games for awhile that way I can do something besides just go in for the free code.
Ask for a code afterward...... and get FOUR. O.o
Guess I saved my friends a trip.

EB Games here is the exact opposite with their code giving...they are very strict with their 'one code per person' rule. For the Mew event, my friend and I went into EB Games together to get a code each, as we both play Pokemon. My friend asked for his code and got it, but when I asked for one straight after, they wouldn't give one to me because as we came in together we were considered 'one customer' and 'I was just going to give my code to my friend'. So I had to go to the other store in town just to get my Mew -_-.gif

Edit: Regarding Celcius v Fahrenheit, I completely agree with what Esc said below, I think it is basically what you get used to. One doesn't measure the temperature 'better' than the other.

That actually makes no sense. Like zero lol. Sorry but I'm calling that out. It's all about what the number means to you, since American's are used to having 100 = hot, it's worth more to them. For me, a Canadian, 100 means jack. I don't know what that means, is it hot, is it cold, where does it start? Similarly, if I was to say to an individual who uses the other system, they wouldn't really know what 37 degrees is either or 40, or whatever.
Plus, America is the only country to use this system... Get with the rest of the world :p

Makes perfect sense to me. The Fahrenheit scale was built with the human body in mind, so I find it a much better way to measure actual comfort levels when it comes to temperature. Like I said before, I like the greater range with this scale as opposed to just a few numbers signifying a rather large difference; 30-70 being cold to room temperature appeals to me more than 0-20 being the same thing. I will say that yes, it does help if you're used to whichever system you've spent time around.

So I hatched a shiny Sigilyph and realized that, not counting the Misquaza that I knew would be shiny, I had a three month shiny drought. That was downright awful.

Seriously though I'm with Esc - neither system is more intuitive, we just prefer what we learned. That's the whole reason (well most of it) that America is even still using Imperial. But Celsuis has the whole metric thing going for it, so in at least one regard, it is objectively better.

This whole "this is what people think is hot" is exactly why I'm glad we don't use Fahrenheit.^^; Really, 100? That's not hot, that's "Manah is dead now and water won't help". With Celsius, it seems like it's easier to apply it to your individual heat-cold range.

While it does make sense, that way it would be more of a case of perspective and being used to. It's very rare for the weather here to reach such high temperatures, but if I were to associate 100F with 37şC (which again, in terms of scale, makes sense and it's plausible where I live), I would associate 0F with being relatively low temperatures. The problem is that 0F corresponds to -17şC, with is absurdly way too cold for where I live (for the record, the lowest that we've ever had was -16 °C in 1945 and 1954 and the highest was 47şC in 2003).

Of course it's not a global thing, as the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother's_Day would indicate. Some countries don't even celebrate mother's day specifically, but rather something like parent's day. This of course leads to comics such as http://satwcomic.com/mother-s-day.

Not mine. So, I still have no clue if I'm signed up for the ability to get the codes or not. I DID get a message the other day asking if I still wanted to remain a member of the newsletter that I said yes to. But if you got yours, that means one of two things: A. They're staggering the codes so that everyone doesn't try to redeem them at one time, crashing the connection, or B. I'm just not eligible for the codes. I guess time will tell.

@ Luneon: I think as long as you enter the codes, you can have forever to actually pick the pokemon up. But as for when you have to actually insert the codes? I have no idea.

Ah, I see what we're talking about. I did sign up for the newsletter before the cut off date, but haven't seen anything in my email. Hopefully, if nothing comes, there is a way I can ask about it. *crosses fingers*

In regards to Mother's Day we might be celebrating at our house. I'm not sure yet. I know our church was selling flowers to buy for the mother's. Seeing as how my daughter isn't attending church anymore... I think that is one gift that won't come my way this Sunday. *blush* But that's ok. As far as what we might do at home... we might go out to dinner if hubby thinks it's ok. He'd usually let me pick and the only places coming to mind would be a local Chipotle restaurant or PF Changs. Hard choice. LOL I won't be getting breakfast in bed though, nor will I get a card, I'm sure. But if everyone can get along and smile all day long, I'll consider it a win. Oh. And I'm sure I'll still be doing dishes and laundry on Sunday. Such is the life. *smirk*

LOL I remember when educators said America was about to adopt the metric system and they tried to teach it to us kids. I was in high school and was either a Junior or Senior then. Everybody failed at it. Including the teachers. That was three months of "we have no clue" and it was abandoned. Celsius scares me. I see negative numbers and I think sub zero freezing people can't live in those conditions temperatures. I know its not that, to a degree (hee hee hee. Degree. Get it? Hee hee hee), but as a product of Fahrenheit, that is what I think of when I see posts on FB about somebody's weather. Brr! I like Fahrenheit because, well, to my mind, it's simply warmer.

Welcome to the thread Sylfiah happy.gif.

Well the codes for the Hidden Ability birds are out, I just redeemed mine. I had a bit of an issue where it kept telling me that 'Communication has been interrupted', I guess people are making the servers work overtime. I won't be grabbing mine just yet, I want to SR for good nature/IVs.

Sorry, but, what (and where) are we talking about for this?

Pokemon.com had a thing where if you signed up for their newsletter you'd get codes for the legendary birds(Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres) with their hidden abilities. It's over now though apparently. sad.gif

Checked my email just now, and I've got codes too. Unfortunately I'm in school at the moment and my 3DS can't connect to the wifi, so no HA birds yet.
Funny they come out now when I needed them for my Pokedex like a week ago, haha.

Maybe you can use them for the next game? grin.gif Gotta stay positive~
Good that you got them, so did I and one of my friends. Idk about the other friend... should ask her when she gets home from school... if she has school that is. IDK.

Don't worry, they get send randomly
A friend of mine got hers 30 mins after I did
and I got mine 30-60 mins after someone on fb posted about it :P
It's really just waves, but if you don't have it by the end of the week, I recommend contacting them.
Oh and check your spam folder ^^; It might end up there.

While I agree that the metric system is usually more straightforward, and that celsius has its place, it makes more sense to have Farenheit used in the context of people and weather. If its 100 degrees farenheit outside then it means that it,s really hot and you should bring water if you plan on going outside for long. That temperature in celsius is about 37 degrees. Anything much higher than that and something is seriously wrong.
With farenheit you have a wider selection of temperatures that are likely to impact people. With Celsius, degrees are worth more, which is all right for dealing with high ranges of degrees for science and such, but is impercise at smaller ranges.
Hope what I said makes sense. I'm tired.


While it does make sense, that way it would be more of a case of perspective and being used to. It's very rare for the weather here to reach such high temperatures, but if I were to associate 100F with 37şC (which again, in terms of scale, makes sense and it's plausible where I live), I would associate 0F with being relatively low temperatures. The problem is that 0F corresponds to -17şC, with is absurdly way too cold for where I live (for the record, the lowest that we've ever had was -16 °C in 1945 and 1954 and the highest was 47şC in 2003).

So you're looking at a range of one extreme of -16 at one end and 47 on the other, compared to 0 and 110. In that sense, yes, I can see where the 0-110 range would be more applicable for everyday use. Of course, I also have always used F and am likely simply more used to it.

On the other had, the idea of using the freezing point and boiling point of water as a baseline for 0 and 100 degrees is completely odd. It makes much more since to use a baseline of 0 as the temperature created by mixing equal amounts of salt and ice, and 96 as the average human body temperature (an outdated measurement compared to the current estimate of 98.6). Seriously though, I couldn't even tell you the boiling point of water is 212 F without looking it up first.

The one thing I will say in defense of our odd American system, is that the currently used 32 freezing point 212 boiling point baseline does put them 180 degrees apart, which does make a certain amount of sense I guess.

LOL

Hopefully I can trim a LOT of fat from this quote.

Ugh.

PS: Sadly, that news about avocado's being fruits? Still doesn't entice me to enjoy them. But it does make sense. Don't fruits have pits/seeds?

I'm not sure what I'm doing for Mother's Day. I did mention I have my mom's present all bought and I just need to wrap it or something. Usually we go eat at my grandmother's house and the night before we all have steaks, which we don't eat all that much outside of special occasions.

Posted by: Synx Itax May 3 2016, 01:49 PM

Random fact: Did you know that -40 F and -40 C are the same? There's a point where they converge.

Man, I love avocados. I had a big, delicious salad yesterday with avocados, black beans, roasted corn, chicken, and some other delicious things (from Red Robin, if anyone is familiar). I should totally stock up on that stuff to make it at home.

Regarding Mother's Day, we're not doing much. Probably getting flowers for my mom as well as the bubble bath and stuff that I already got her. happy.gif

Thank you, eevee64 and GPX! I am happy to have received this egg today. Especially when I think about what today was 36 years ago. Dang. Can't believe it's been that long. This egg was a nice way to have a bright spot on May 3rd for me so... yay! Thank you!

Of course, unless I cure that one Pokemon, this means my current exploring Poke is stuck in the Walker over lunch. But that's ok. I'm very happy to have gotten the egg.

I'm really looking forward to Sun and Moon
Fun fact: I'm a fan of planets and the universe
I always had an obsession with stars when I was little

I'm curious what other new pokemon (apart from the unnamed bird and magearna) will be in there.

I always go with the coolest/cutest starter :P
Differs per generation

Idk what Pokemon made, other than Arceus creating other PKMN according to legend
I think we might be seeing Zygarde's new forms
I suppose a main grass legendary would be interesting...
We've had baby legendaries (Celebi, Shaymin) Aaand in a trio... (Virizion) BUT NEVER AS MAIN.
So I hope this time we'll have a legit grass main legendary. We had fire, we had water. NOW IT'S TIME FOR GRASS TO SHIIINE!

I mean what if it was tree-based, kind of like an ent -- or maybe based on a forest animal like a wolf or a fox or a deer, or maybe something like a pine marten or a mink?

When choosing my starters, I usually go for the one that looks the neatest. Thankfully Delphox (XY) and Sceptile (ORAS) have been helpful throughout the time I played the game.

I was hatching Eevees for the Poke Hunt and ended up getting a shiny one with 140 IVs, so I went ahead and evolved it into Glaceon even though I have one already, so that pretty much guarantees that I'll end up getting rank 1.

Posted by: Dusky Flareon May 3 2016, 05:31 PM

I suppose this will add fuel to the FIRE, but guess who got a Moltres Egg?

And well... As for Magearna, the possibility exists that it might be standalone, or Gamefreak could pull a Mewtwo. I really want to see day and night legendaries as the main ones in Sun and Moon.

Honestly, Gen VII would be PERFECT for a Light type to be added, given its theme and the fact Light is involved in day AND night. Anyone else think so?

EDIT:

I choose my starters by apperance. Serperior, Delphox, Charizard (guess who is a sucker for dragons), Feraligatr, Sceptile, Torterra...

Congratulations on the Shiny, Sunshine! I'm also hunting Shiny Eevee, too. As well as Shiny Fennekin (have this on Pokemon OR), Shiny Espurr, and Shiny Zorua...

Also ninja'd.

When choosing my starters, I don't care. I get all three anyway. That's the good thing about getting both games the day/week they are released. And I can borrow a second 3DS for trading purposes.

My current weekly placeholder is a 128 IV male Glaceon. Hopefully, I'll be able to find one better since I'm not expecting that one to get me a Rank 1. And I still haven't gotten myself an Icicle Shard yet.

Light would be a good typle for Sun legend, as the Sun emits heat and light, as do all other stars. The lunar one could be Light/Dark due to moonlight being reflected sunlight.

My outline of how I imagine Light type to be (battle):

Weak to Grass (plants absorb light), Dark (couldn't resist the allegory), possibly Rock or Steel (as those block light)
Strong against Water (evaporation anyone?), Dark (yin-yang; day-night), Ghost (daytime; the LIGHT of truth), Flying? (Gases and void are what we see light through)
Resistant to Water (see above), Ghost (I direct you above), Fire (fire is heat AND light TOGETHER)
Low damage against Fire (above), Steel/Rock (Solids block light), Grass?*
No damage against Grass? (plants literally live off light and water, absorbing both)*

*If Grass isn't immune to Light, it would at least be resistant to Light

(What it signifies) I think the Light type would be all the light that illuminates. Whether cold or hot, it would be lumiscent. It would be light energy, basically. Electric is electricity, and Fire is flame itself.

Possible moves that would change type would be Solar Beam, Flash, Morning Sun, or similar lightbased moves.

I am 100% looking forward to them. There's a lot of things that I want to see in those games (like the return of trainer customization). And I generally just really want to see the new Pokemon. konata.gif
Oh, and welcome~ happy.gif

And for starters, I just pick whichever one I like the design the best. And/or if I have some sort of attachment to it for some other reason (for example, after doing the personality quiz on PMD:EoD, I got Charmander, so I chose that one on XY when we could chose one of the Kanto starters).
Also, if a Pokemon game came out where ALL of the starters were available to chose from, which one would you guys pick?
I feel like I would go for Chimchar since I had chosen that on Pokemon Pearl (which was my first main series Pokemon game).

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do for Mother's Day. I feel like we'll probably go over to my grandma's.
And for a gift, I might make a picture for my mom or something. Not really sure...

Plus, I need to remember to leave a spot open in my party tonight so I can try to get a Xerneas! *crosses fingers in hopes for a shiny even though I'm sure it probably won't happen*

Posted by: Asbel Lhant May 3 2016, 08:04 PM

Got a 142IV Glaceon put into the Poke Hunt. He hatched with 136IVs so I boosted him up with vitamins. I'll still be searching for a better one just in case but I think I'm good.

For the legendary bird codes, I'm pretty sure that they are stacking them as to not overload the servers. I had a ton of issues trying to redeem my codes earlier today, I couldn't imagine what it would be like if they gave the codes all at once.

My Celebi from the distribution didn't hatch shiny like I had hoped. I really doubt I'll ever get the shiny from these distributions, my luck for legends here is terrible. One day I'll get one!

Trinket+ is now maxed, woo.

Posted by: Radian May 3 2016, 08:12 PM

As for legendaries I just want to see a normal type.
Arceus doesn't count. It's every type.
I just want a legendary that's some obscenely powerful shrew or something. Not a flaming shrew. not a plant shrew. Just an inexplicably powerful, run of the mill shrew. Or something.

My Celebi from the distribution didn't hatch shiny like I had hoped. I really doubt I'll ever get the shiny from these distributions, my luck for legends here is terrible. One day I'll get one!

Trinket+ is now maxed, woo.

Kudos on the Poke Hunt entry, Asbel Lhant. I've been semi searching, but found nothing above 107. So my hunting continues.

Thank you, too, for that info on the legendary bird codes. When I read earlier that it was probably too late, I was not a happy camper. I haven't heard back from them yet, but I think they said it'd take up to 24 hrs. I'm just hoping that everything went through on the website so that I am official enough to get the codes. I hope and hope!

How many years have you been on GPX? I share your pain about the shiny legendaries. The only ones I have are from Pokemon.com from their distributions in the actual games. I yearn for the day I acquire a GPX shiny legend. *wistful sigh*

Posted by: CrazyUmbreonLady May 3 2016, 08:29 PM

I decided to put in Glaceon with 97 IVs anyways. I'll only get Rank 3 at best, but meh.

Now I got a bit more room, I'm gonna tackle the Team Rocket achievement.

Posted by: SilverPT May 3 2016, 09:23 PM

I'm surprised to see Trinket+ filled up. I think it was between 20 and 30% when I woke up? Something like that. It's good for me tho, I got free time at least until the end of the week. grin.gif

I am 100% looking forward to them. There's a lot of things that I want to see in those games (like the return of trainer customization). And I generally just really want to see the new Pokemon. konata.gif

Same here! grin.gif I agree with the character customisation, I really want it back! It felt so boring in ORAS playing as the standard avatar, and not being able to customise it like in XY :P Given Sun/Moon are new games, not remakes like ORAS, I don't see why character customisation can't be brought back.

I got a shiny Zapdos back in 2010 from the old distribution events, so that's sitting next to my Moltres egg in my party now to *hopefully* share some of it's shinyness to it cat.gif

I've been on gpx for 5 years since April 28th of this year happy.gif.

I have only ever hatched one shiny Legendary on gpx, a shiny Latias. I ended up putting her into one of the Christmas exchanges and got a shiny Shaymin(in a way I regret that because she was my only shiny legend I hatched myself). I no longer own the Shaymin either, got a shiny Groudon from this past exchange.

In Pokemon games, I have quite a few shinies. One of my favorite shinies I own is my shiny Darkrai from the Members Card event in my Japanese Platinum. I got it the day my grandmother passed away so my shiny Darkrai is quite special to me. It made a horrible day a whole lot easier to deal with.

My outline of how I imagine Light type to be (battle):

Weak to Grass (plants absorb light), Dark (couldn't resist the allegory), possibly Rock or Steel (as those block light)
Strong against Water (evaporation anyone?), Dark (yin-yang; day-night), Ghost (daytime; the LIGHT of truth), Flying? (Gases and void are what we see light through)
Resistant to Water (see above), Ghost (I direct you above), Fire (fire is heat AND light TOGETHER)
Low damage against Fire (above), Steel/Rock (Solids block light), Grass?*
No damage against Grass? (plants literally live off light and water, absorbing both)*

*If Grass isn't immune to Light, it would at least be resistant to Light

(What it signifies) I think the Light type would be all the light that illuminates. Whether cold or hot, it would be lumiscent. It would be light energy, basically. Electric is electricity, and Fire is flame itself.

Possible moves that would change type would be Solar Beam, Flash, Morning Sun, or similar lightbased moves.

Um. How could Light be both strong AND weak against Dark?

*confuzzled*

I'm looking forward to Sun/Moon. I thought 6th Gen was absolutely wonderful (X/Y are probably my favorite Pokémon games, and I really enjoyed ORAS), especially considering how massively disappointed I was with 5th Gen (though I liked the gameplay as usual). Therefore, I'm having high hopes that 7th Gen will push on with great Pokémon designs, cool environments, great music, and hopefully a continuation of some awesome features like DexNav. Seriously, I love DexNav.

I was always one of the people who wanted a Light type, but I think Fairy fulfills that role pretty well. Honestly, I think we could do without more types. >_> But that's just me.

Regarding a Normal Legendary, I could get behind that, though to me, I always see Legendaries as having some cool element. Still, there is Arceus, so it certainly can be done well. A really beautiful Grass type would be amazing; my thought was perhaps an Easten-style dragon.

Getting back into pokemon by continuing my hunt for the elusive nincada in Omega Ruby. I was working on my national dex but got bored so went to something tedious instead. Catching every single nincada i find unless it kills its self with final gambit. then once i fill all my boxes i will send them off for the entire world to enjoy~ nincada is my god... maybe ill do it on sunday as my church. the nincada chapel. Im not obsessed with nincada... just the fact i want my room covered in nincada stuff... i really want a army of nincada plushes.

I was the opposite. Gen V was just about my favourite, and I couldn't really get behind X and Y (though I did enjoy Alpha Sapphire). Still looking forwards to Sun and Moon though!

I completely forgot about the distribution and got Moltres. Which is okay, I'm pretty sure that's what I was going for? At least I got something, lol.
Reason I didn't get on was that I had my last exam yesterday and I went out to celebrate with my friends! I had a lot of fun but I won't see any of them now until next September :c
On the upside I'll probably be more active here now. tongue.gif

*happy dances* Yay! I'm so excited! I got my first Pokemon newsletter and there are those codes! Sa-weet! I'll probably be putting them in Ruby, Sapphire, and then my X game. My Y game already has 7 badges so that one is so close to being done that I think my other games could use the leg up. grin.gif

In other DS related news, I just renewed my Poke Bank, too. So that is cleared for use for another year. W00t!

In GPX news, I'm just working my way through the current special exploration. I've got one of those super long walks ahead of me so that will be interesting and easy.

With today's multiplier Moltres should hatch quite nicely and I'm still trying to vie for this week's Poke Hunt. I haven't seen a lot of options hatch for me this week so... I dunno. Other than that, my party has a "sick" Pokemon so... if you want to risk infection... come on over. wink.gif

As for Sun/Moon.. of course! I'm excited for its release! I think I might've already put a deposit down for the games, too. It's been so long I'm not sure. I should go look into that this weekend. *blush*

It would have to be a rabbit.

Then again I registered years ago so I guess people who registered later will get theirs later.
Who knows. Idk how it works :/

Sadly no others ^^;

Posted by: Sylfiah May 4 2016, 10:06 AM

If all of the starters were available in one game, I think I'd choose Snivy, simply 'cause I started off with Black and White and grass is my favourite type. It's also adorable >w<
There's already a -lot- of types in Pokemon, though a light type would be interesting, maybe if it replaced psychic or fairy? Fairy never made much sense to me... I mean, there's fire types, water types, dragon types, grass types, etc, all pretty straightforward -- and then suddenly "fairy." I don't hate it, but I just don't get it xD If they do add light, maybe it could have a bunch of healing moves. Light always just seemed like an element that focused on healing to me.
A sun-based and moon-based duo would be interesting... Maybe representing the yin and yang and all that? Still crossing my fingers for a grass type though. And there hasn't been a poison-type legendary yet... hoping to see a poison type too, even if it's just part of a trio or a "baby" Legendary. And since we're talking about celestial stuff here, maybe one of sun/moon legendaries (if there are any) could have a move that essentially creates a mini-black hole? ...I'm obsessed with black holes, I'm sorry xD

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine May 4 2016, 10:09 AM

It looks as if I received those codes from the newsletter as well. I'm going to have to use them soon.

Neither of the Celebis I got were shiny. I have a shiny Latios, Giratina and Heatran, one of those I hatched myself. I don't summon stuff all that much, but maybe if I can't figure out what to shiny hunt next, I can use up all those items I collected and never used yet.

EDIT:

Shuffle: *happens to trigger this combo that knocks Meowth out in one hit*

The cuter the better cat.gif

Didn't Black and White represent YinYang, though?
Their legendaries didn't seem very much like that, but idk why else they'd go with those two

There's Darkrai and Cresselia
Especially Cresselia is moon-based

Dunno what crazy legendaries we'll get but I guess we'll find out in a few months still hoping for a main grass one

I like the traditional three starters idea as opposed to having all of them. That seems... like a bit much. I'm certainly not opposed to being able to collect all of them in the games somehow, though.

I would definitely not want any types, especially something as cool as Psychic, to be replaced. That creates a whole host of problems. As for Fairy, I definitely prefer something like Light instead, but Fairy isn't really any weirder than Dragon. They're both straightforward as they're mythical creatures. I'd say that the way things are now are more or less fine.

I think BW/BW2 took care of Yin and Yang. happy.gif

A Poison-type legendary would actually be really cool. I was thinking of some kind of creature that pollutes everywhere it goes; perhaps there could be a counterpart who purifies everything instead. Suicune sort of fills that role, but I'm thinking of something more focused.

Doesn't Hoopa create black holes? In some sense, anyway?

More like a wormhole I think. Hoopa uses its rings for teleportation.

Regarding shiny legendaries on GPX+, I've a Latios with which I got the Good Luck achievement.

I didn't even know Hoopa existed until I joined GPX+, I never managed to get my hands on a copy of X or Y. Definitely gonna get Sun or Moon, though.
I think a manticore-based poison-type legendary would be nice -- or some sort of pokemon that poisons via spines on its tail, or a scorpion tail.

I love this phase of anticipation and rumors - I hope we'll get a bit of info from time to time to talk about, I'm looking forward to the Sun and Moon games! As for legendaries I'm hoping for... I don't know. A Poison-type legendary does sound cool. Maybe I can finally get to terms with the Poison-type, then. Somehow, I just don't have them in my team and I panic when encountering strong ones with trainers haha~ Yet... it has gotten a bit better now that I've started to dive into the Battle Tower (and thus, had to look into types again).

I've had some shiny luck in my Omega Ruby game. I've been doing some hatching since I obtained my Shiny Charm.
A couple of days ago, I found a shiny Abra and this morning - a shiny Gible! \o/
Next target: Larvitar.

Do you guys have any hunts going on in your games?

Aww, and this poor thing got in trouble:

http://r.gpx.plus/coFJS

Posted by: RicFule May 4 2016, 11:11 AM

Yeah, I think that if any new typing is added, they WON'T remove one of the old ones. That being said, I don't know if we really need a new Type or two. I say two because it would keep them even. I don't know what kind of Legendary I would like to see in the new games.

So, I just switched my Glaceon out. Currently have a 136 IV male entered. Would he potentially need vitamins to get Rank 1, or is he fine as is?

Posted by: Jessy May 4 2016, 11:25 AM

Have yet to put anything in for the Hunt - been so long since I've played GPX I've just been trying to finish an old shiny hunt and done a couple of explorations grin.gif

Well, they were never even until Fairy type was introduced. 15 types on Gen I, 17 types from Gen II to Gen V. I don't see them caring about that. And yes, it should be enough. But two or three vitamins wouldn't hurt at all.

I think I finally found a decent Pokemon for the Hunt this week. I'm not real happy with its IVs, but I do think it'll place, at the very least. Bergie (Bergmite) with IVs at 135. I might be able to up that to 140, if not 141. I'm thinking that might be the best I can do. But! I'm still going to scavenge and forage for someone better. It's going to be hard to beat the Avalugg I have on file though. 146 IVs. Still, I keep looking and maybe luck will come my way. I'm just 3 silly points shy of 1,000 prize points. So yeah. Placing is a big deal for me this week.

Come on Bergie!!! woot.gif

In regards to the current discussions about hopeful new legendaries... I'm definitely liking the idea of a poisoned legendary. That sounds like an awesome one for sure! Are in game legendaries strong battlers though, I wonder? I know their IVs on GPX are, to say the least, usually pitiful. I've never noticed if that's the case in the games though. Are they tough... out in the "real" world?

Posted by: Walking On Sunshine May 4 2016, 12:39 PM

I would personally like to see a Poison- or part Poison-type legendary and also a Dark-type gym leader, because I don't think there ever was one. Plus I want the last Gym leader to be something like Bug or Grass or any of those types that was always within the first couple of gyms. I'm also hoping Solrock and Lunatone get mega evolutions, but we don't know yet whether or not there will be new ones added.

Could you have possibly mega evolved it? Otherwise, it is possible you released it, and no one noticed it in the shelter and it was deleted. But I would assume shinies would be found eventually.

Well I got a better Eevee for the Poke Hunt. Hatched a male Eevee with 141IVs. I used a few vitamins so now he's sitting pretty at 147. Not going to bother getting any more Eevee eggs, going to focus on my shiny hunts.

Just noticed the pretty egg in my party. Thanks to Jen for the Xerneas, now here's hoping there's a shiny in there grin.gif. No worries for that happening though, lol.

hoping sun and moon are sinnoh remakes since the sun and moon are in space and the phase of the moon depends on the time and sun. (and earth) Buuut ya know maybe im just overthinking it and my pleas for 3D underground will never come.

Maybe we'll get Sinnoh remakes this gen. I really want Mega Sinnoh starters.
And Sun/Moon couldn't possibly be remakes because of Magearna and the supposed starters found in trademarks.

I would personally like to see a Poison- or part Poison-type legendary and also a Dark-type gym leader, because I don't think there ever was one. Plus I want the last Gym leader to be something like Bug or Grass or any of those types that was always within the first couple of gyms.


The problem with having a Bug or Grass Gym Leaders as the last one is that both types have a lot of weaknesses (Bug has 3 (Fire and Rock moves are super common), Grass has 5) and their overall averages regarding BST is also low. Bug has the lowest one (460) and Grass (505) is only surpassed by Bug, Normal (477) and Poison (485). The difficulty is supposed to increase as you get badges. :/ GF would have to implement some pro strategies for it to be relatively challenging.

And I got Xerneas! grin.gif

I'm guessing if that were the case, they would have to give all their Pokemon dual types, and not the kind that'll give them a x4 weakness. We did have a Bug-type Elite Four member though, but he looks pretty easy to beat regardless.

On the topic of light type and the new legendaries, I think it would be cool to get a Light/Flying type for the Sun legendary (since, y'know, gas and all. Flying is as close to an Air type as it gets) and a Dark/Rock type for Moon. Then Light would be effective against Dark and Rock against Flying and... yes. I want some Legendaries that can cancel each other out properly so they're actually equals (I'm looking at you, Palkia and Dialga! whyispalkiasoweak.png).

EDIT: With current types, I guess it could be Fire/Psychic and Ice/Dark or something. Actually, both those combos sound really cool...

Bug/Steel is the best typing in that case despite the x4 weakness. And yes, we had Aaron in Sinnoh and he was the first one (thus the weakest, since in that gen the E4 still had levels discrepancy). As I said, a well rounded strategy would be good enough since a lot of people that play in-game don't understand the most complex strategies.

In regards to the current discussions about hopeful new legendaries... I'm definitely liking the idea of a poisoned legendary. That sounds like an awesome one for sure! Are in game legendaries strong battlers though, I wonder? I know their IVs on GPX are, to say the least, usually pitiful. I've never noticed if that's the case in the games though. Are they tough... out in the "real" world?

Hm some are pretty nice VS Gym leaders
I remember transferring the Sinnoh trio (pixies) to my Soul Silver grin.gif
I gave 'em a bunch of varied moves and had them beat most the gyms for me... cause I wasn't using them in Diamond anyway >__<

At the moment, I've stopped my hunts to finish my dex. Once I'm done with that, I'm gonna go for Espurr, Spinda, and start SR for Cresselia again. Maybe Carbink, Sableye, Eevee, Axew, or Swirlix. tongue.gif


Yay, I got the legendary bird codes in this morning! Already put them in the game and now the birds are in the hands of the delivery girl. happy.gif

Also, came home from school to find a Xerneas egg in my party. I had completely forgot about it while I was logging on then I saw the egg and was like YUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

On the topic of shiny legendaries: I have none on gpx unless this here Xerneas hatches shiny and the only ones I have in-game are from events. I have two of each of the main Sinnoh legend trio. I had three of each, but I gave one set to a friend since they missed out on the event. Then I also got the shiny Rayquaza, too.

For the light type: I wouldn't mind if there was one added, but I don't think it's needed really.

Not sure what kind of legendaries I would like to see. Having a main grass and poison one would be neat. I can imagine the Sun legendary as some combination of Fire, Psychic, and Rock (maybe Fairy since it they tend to have "bright" and "sparkly" themes to them) and the Moon legendary as a combination of Dark, Water, Ice, and Rock (possibly Ghost since they tend to be associated with nighttime or Normal since the night usually has a fairly "calm" vibe to it).

And for something I want in Sun/Moon: MEGA CRESSELIA AND MEGA DARKRAI.
And imagine how OP Mega Arceus would be. That also rhymed.
Delta species would be neato. Doubtful it would happen, but would still be pretty interesting to have in the games.
Also more interaction with Pokemon. And return of Pokemon walking with you.
The list continues...

The name of the games usually has nothing to do with the 'mons itself besides its colour (Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Zekrom, Reshiram) or some characteristic (Dialga, Palkia, Yveltal, Xerneas). I don't know why people are associating the names with the typing... and if anything, they would always have Rock type. :/

Posted by: Synx Itax May 4 2016, 07:03 PM

The only shiny legendaries I have in my games are event ones like Entei, Raikou, Suicune, and probably some others. I never bothered SRing for any. I mean, I tried SRing in general for things like fossils, but I just do not have the patience. sad.gif If only soft resetting were even faster than it is now.

I wouldn't mind seeing more Electric-type legendaries, myself. I'm sure there's a fair number of them, but maybe one that's part Fire or something as the only Pokémon like that right now is... Rotom.

Posted by: Dusky Flareon May 4 2016, 07:12 PM

To be honest, the legendary type I want to see is Dragon/Fairy... mainly because I'm curious as to how GF would design one. If Light type came into the fray, I'd love a Light/Dark, Dragon/Light, or... Light/Grass. That last one for seeing how they'd design it.

Posted by: Stinko May 4 2016, 08:01 PM

39 total IVs: 16 HP, 2 ATK, 15 DEF, 2 SATK, 2 DEF, 2 SDEF, and 2 SPD. That's one of my lowest ever. The lowest one I still have is a 27 IV Pokii, which will eventually be released into the wild. After it goes Underground first.

Still haven't gotten the HA Bird Trio codes yet.

Posted by: Bonnie Clyde May 4 2016, 10:24 PM

Damn, this Xerneas egg is gettin' excited.

To fill my dex in AS, I had to catch a Linoone. So after I caught one, I was thinking of a name for it- then a pun came into my head.
I named it "9 in the Aft".
And when you put it with its Pokemon name, it's "9 in the Aft Linoone".

Idk, I was really amused by it.

I'd also love to see a grass/dragon legendary, or a fairy/dragon. I love dragon types and I think with those typings it has the potential to look super adorable/awesome.

I have the same problem, though it only goes toward the top left direction. It's kinda annoying and I don't know what's causing it.

It's kind of bugged, because users that got one of those eggs of pokemon that shouldn't have eggs, from Cypress or that time the distribution gave the wrong type of Giratina. Those users would get +1 unique eggs, but when the dex was fixed afterwards, the stats weren't cleaned up.

(Saltwater, maybe) I also had 4 Beldums hatched, none of which were Shiny. So I hit the Relase button, clicked on the 4 Beldum, it asked me if that was right, I said Yes. Then it asked me if I was sure, I said yes, and then it stuffed ALL 5 Pokemon into the shelter, including my Eevee!!

I don't expect it back now. but I sm LIVID. I did NOT click on the Eevee, it must have ghosted the click for "Yes, Release" onto her as well somehow. I explicitly looked at that first

I have found sometimes, particularly logging into the main site on a Mobile (Yes, I know there is a mobile app, It's just not as good for some things.) and sometimes it'll do it logging into the mobile as 'well, that right after I log in, it says I am logged in, then takes me to the Log In page. I think it's moving faster than the Cookie registering the Log in is getting copied, yours may be doing the same thing, or the Cookie is buried/corrupted.

MMing for a shiny male Litleo in Y
SRing for a shiny Zekrom in AlphaSapphire, 5250 SRs dry.gif
3800 SRs for Eevee in Japanese LeafGreen

I'm mainly focusing on Litleo at the moment. I've been SRing for a shiny Zekrom for quite a while(without the shiny charm) but not much out of that hunt. I don't have the shiny charm because I'd rather get my Zekrom as a full odds shiny, seeing as I got Reshiram that way. I have a few other hunts as well but these are the main ones I want out of the way first.

Still haven't gotten the HA Bird Trio codes yet.

I am not totally caught up on the posts, but I'm wondering if you finally got your codes? Not only did I get my newsletter yesterday with the codes, but Pokemon.com actually responded to my inquiry about it. Granted, it was a "form" type generic email, but at least it was some type of response.

I also used the codes last night and put in all 4 of my Darkrai's into my games. *happy dances* I didn't put all the birds in one game though. Let me see if I remember correctly...

Articuno went into my Omega Ruby Game
Zapdos went to my Alpha Sapphire Game
Moltres went to my X Game

Since my Y Game has 7 badges I opted to not put any of them in there. That game, now, is all about leveling up for that last gym leader and then working the kinks out for the Elite Four, I guess.

I also entertained a legendary battle with my youngest last night. I lost. Badly. I was thinking fire couldn't touch Regice. Duh me. Fire melts ice. Which probably means Articuno won't fare well in OR, but I didn't think Zapdos would do well there at all either. I figured Electric trumps water and Moltres would die horribly time and again in AS. I guess I chose the right games for them, but since they aren't holding any items, I could always bank them for a move later on.

In relation to GPX... I finally got my Bergie into the Poke Hunt. I don't know how well he'll fair, but hopefully he'll get 3rd place at minimum. So now I'm going to concentrate on finishing up (or trying to) the quest today and moving on. I only have one open task I can work on at the office today so I should have plenty of click time. We'll see.

Happy Cinco de Mayo Everyone!

That IV sounds pretty promising for a 1st place, imo. If not 1st, definitely a 2nd placer. Of the IVs others have listed that I've seen, I think the highest Eevee was 145. Just don't quote me (as I may be forgetting someone's).

Regarding shinies in DS pokemon games I actually got alot of legit ones.

When I got the Shiny Charm I decided to hatch some shiny pokemons I wanted, I ended up with: shiny Honedge, 3 shiny Gastly's, 4 shiny Froakies, shiny Goomy, shiny Sandile etc. I ended up with 1˝ box full.

I Sofresetted myself a shiny Giratina in pokemon Platinum, after 400 or so Soft Resets. Its still stuck there since I dont have PokeBank.

Edit: I caught a Shiny Gligar and Weepingbell through Horde Encounter.

I am not totally caught up on the posts, but I'm wondering if you finally got your codes? Not only did I get my newsletter yesterday with the codes, but Pokemon.com actually responded to my inquiry about it. Granted, it was a "form" type generic email, but at least it was some type of response.


Not yet. I keep checking periodically, but nothing yet. If I don't have them by Sunday, I'll likely contact them. They said it might take a few days for everyone to get theirs on one web page I saw, so ...

And when I searched my mail, I saw that I'd originally gotten one of the newsletters back in 2010, so I should be good for the codes?

EDIT - @ Titan Trainer: Just because you're online doesn't mean you'll actually get one. There are only 350 given out per day. And you don't need to be online on the day of the giveaway, as long as you were online in the two weeks prior. I personally have been online on each of the previous giveaways this month and haven't gotten one yet.

Please give Sigilyph here a Cheri berry. I really need to catch up on some of these explorations.

I still haven't redeemed my codes yet. I might put them on just one of my games. I remember doing that fish chaining thing on XY a lot and doing lots of horde encounters to get shinies. I tried to do some chaining but I haven't gotten the hang of it.

Something I've noticed, I'm really confused about.. I used to have a Shiny Sharpedo.. it's vanished, but not popped up on my released list.. definitely not in a box. Anyone able to shed any light on where it is?

You either evolved it... or you accidentally released it... and nobody noticed it in the shelter :P


I've figured it out! It was an exchange.. Got a shiny Psyduck for it grin.gif Thanks for suggestions though!

Posted by: Crasyforce May 5 2016, 01:20 PM

I once tried to chain a ralts in ORAS, the chain became so high that the game stopped counting. Eventually I had to stop and no ralts, I progressed the story and accidentally encountered a Shiny Swably. Its a gorgious Shiny Altaria now.

Fish chaining is LOADS easier than grass chaining. I caught a handful of fish, but always hit the wrong patch of grass which breaks the chain. Now, RANDOM grass shinies are good. I think I found two or three in X? Shiny Eevee at Route 10 while going after the HM Ball. And then Horde battles got me most of my X shinies.

EDIT - And I just hatched my Shiny Winter Vulpix. THAT was fast. 11 Days, 16th egg. Flaming Zorua will likely be the next I look for, but I don't have time to do anything with them just yet. Time for work, so I need to get ready as soon as I finish this edit.

Woot my Mareep just hatched with Shears, now I can get 3 more egg and dex entries ^^. 2 more shears to go though.

Because there's more users than there's eggs :P you have only 50% chance to obtain an egg, that's how many users online there are
just gotta try for today's or tomorrow's
and if not, better luck next month ^^ these are monthly "events"

PS: you don't even have to be online the same day
You can be online at any time as long as its within 2 weeks of the distribution :P
so yeah. It all comes down to luck (and I think also a bit to activity pts for the distribution day... but I'm not sure about that...)

That the Geolocation isnt working is also a known thing for Chrome, it has to do with that the Geolocation only now works on https sites. It still works if you use an old version of the browser, but alot of the new versions dont have the support for http and the geolocation function.

I'll add to the geolocation problem that it doesnt seem to effect everyone, I have the newest Chrome and I can still use Mobile Walker. I suspect it also has to do with Windows 10, though its just what I think since there is nothing to base that up onto.

Posted by: Synx Itax May 5 2016, 02:53 PM

I probably should have added this to my earlier post, but oh well. :P I have a fair number of shinies caught in the games, though most of that was due to the Shiny Charm as well as Friend Safaris. Before 6th Gen, I only ever caught one shiny (minus Red Gyarados), and that was a Chansey in my Silver version. Now, my Poké Bank has almost an entire box of them. happy.gif Some, however, I actually got in trades for a bunch of female Treecko.

That leads me to what I'm actually hunting, and... it's Treecko in my Omega Ruby version. I'm using the Masuda method, but it's not bringing me results yet. irritated.gif Guess I have to hatch even more eggs. At least it's something I can do without much concentration.

I haven't used the Mobile Walker lately, so I can't comment on the geolocation issue. I'll check it out with several OSes and see if that makes a difference.

Oh really, because the newest version is 50.0.2661.94 m. Based on what people are saying, it shouldn't work if you have reached version 50. Anyway, the point here is that some other browsers are using the same engine as Chrome. Most notably Opera and Vivaldi, which I'm using. If you want geolocation, then I guess you can use Firefox, IE or Edge to make it work. other than using a different browsers, the only way I can see a fix for this would be if the admins made use of a TLS connection for the purposes of geolocation.

Shiny Charm can be obtained when you complete your entire pokedex (without the methical pokemons), its way easier now with wondertrade and such.

Ill try to re-use my mobile walker and see if it still functions, it worked for me yesterday. Would be odd if it doesnt work anymore now.

I cant say if Windows 7 is the cause or not, but I guess I was wrong with windows 10 being the culprit. But as far as I know the problem has already been found.

Here's the thing. Opera has it's own version number. If you look at the details, you will be able to see which version of Chrome the engine currently corresponds to, like here.

In this case, we have the same version of Opera, so I don't think that anything would be different on your end.

I'm still hunting for Piplup, but now I'm hatching random eggs again in the hopes of a random Shiny. Besides, when I fill up an entire box that I fittingly named "Extras", I feel like I'm helping someone out by releasing the Pokemon in that box.

Thanks for the comments about my situation guys, I really appreciate it~

And I've been having the geolocation problem too. I used my phone to finish leveling up the Pokemon in there and put them away so I don't have to deal with that little notification on the mobile walker just taunting me while I can do nothing to it. tongue.gif

On the shinnies topic: I didn't catch any until X (aside from the Gyarados, which I got two of). With event shinnies, I have DialgaX2, PalkiaX2, GiratinaX2, Gengar, Metagross, and Rayquaza. I got a shiny Tentacool from a friend (now a Tentacruel). Then the ones I've caught: Lapras (accidentally found it in a friend safari, and was my very first shiny other than events and Gyarados), Dedenne (hunting it in a friend safari), Bellossom (was an Oddish, and was completely random), two Feebas (both male, looking for a female), and a Milotic (the female I finally found).

Nop. lol.gif It's a Key Item. You've to complete the National Pokédex (with the exception of event Pokémon) in every game from BW2 forward to get it. In Gen VI, combined with the Masuda method, it increases your chance of hatching a shiny to 1/512. happy.gif

My Zergoose pair are being good for eggs tonight, that's the second time in a row that they produced two Zergoose eggs. They rarely give me double Zergoose eggs, I usually get one or none at all. Now if one of these silly things would shine I'd be one happy camper.

Well I'm tired, I got home around 10 pm tonight. My leg was aching the whole day, it hurts to walk on. I don't think I sprained anything though, guess my arthritis is being quite vicious today. I'm not quite sure why, I guess the weather is making it act up. At least I have the day off tomorrow.

The shiny charm is definitely worth getting, though sometimes it can be a bit picky. I remember trying to get my first shiny back in White 2, it took me over 5 months of shiny hunting before I got my shiny Magby with it mellow.gif. It was the worst shiny charm hunt I've had. Shortly after that hunt I found a shiny Magnemite after 8 encounters laughing.gif.

No. You must post something more substantial than this if you want to post exploration Pokemon.

Posted by: RicFule May 5 2016, 10:28 PM

So, I got the Meloetta egg today. And while attempting to level up my Level 1 Flame Zorua so that it might potentially breed with it's level 100 evolution, my shiny Winter Vulpix caught Pokerus. So, I'll probably keep it in my Party until it's cured naturally, so if anyone wants to attempt to catch it, have at it.

When I got home from work, I hatched a 142 IV Eevee, so I evolved it and switched it into the weekly hunt.

Still have not gotten the HA bird trio codes yet.But I'll see what happens in a day or so.

Like SilverPT said, it's not transferrable, but one thing that people like to do nowadays is simply to put all of the Pokémon into the Poké Bank and just move all of them to another game. Bam, instant full Pokédex.

If you want, Mamanator, I can help you out with obtaining the Shiny Charm. As stated in my first post on this thread, I have an almost complete living dex (minus some mythical/event things), so if you're not too terribly far off from a full dex, I can trade some hard-to-get evolutions and whatnot. happy.gif

This offer, as always, extends to anyone else, too.

And I've been having the geolocation problem too. I used my phone to finish leveling up the Pokemon in there and put them away so I don't have to deal with that little notification on the mobile walker just taunting me while I can do nothing to it. tongue.gif

xD ah so I'm not the only one who gets annoyed by that, huh? grin.gif
It bothers me I can't click it, but until Chrome fixes it....
Gonna have to be patient and whip out our mobile phones from beneath our pillows (I put mine usually under my pillow for tethering purposes when the wifi isn't working too well...)
It surprises me I ain't the only one, though! Didn't expect that

And thank you for your feedback on this thing
it's useful

Haha I've been doing the same thing. I don't want to cant be bothered installing an older version of Chrome on my computers, so I have the mobile walker page on the mobile site permanently open on my phone :P

I also managed to finally unlock Office Wars a couple of days ago (sorry Shadow Fennekin wink.gif ). So I only have a handful of achievements left now. I've almost got my battle tower team ready to start smashing out those achivements, but I think the next one I'll focus on is elite clicker ^^

Well I just got the last shard I needed, so that means I now have all the plates forged! Now all I need is to work on DotW a bunch of times so I can have that out the way.

I don't remember exactly how many shiny Pokemon I have on XY, but I think I remember the first one I ever caught was a Whiscash while chain fishing. I also got a Gyarados, Clawitzer and a Luvdisc that way, but those are the only ones I know off the top of my head. As for hordes, I got a Swablu and a Murkrow from those.
