Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Thank you. I've been asking a ton of questions in the past couple days and all the answers have been quick and informative, I really appreciate it. :) One more, not sure if this is the right place...is there anyway to get Pokesav'd Pokemon onto the Pokemon Diamond I have on my R4 card with using...
Are the natures of stationary Pokemon like Azelf set from the start? Or if I catch it and don't like the nature can I shut my game off and try for a different nature?
