Yes, he does. You need to Surf across the water and talk to the fisherman on the east side, not the one on the west side. How far into the game do you get the Eon Flute? I'm on my way to Fortree now and want to revisit some old places but the long bike rides to get there are keeping me away...

Has anyone tried using a Thunderstone on their cosplay Pikachu? Can we evolve it? If so, does the Raichu retain the moves that it had? I'm assuming no costume for Raichu.

If a Protean Greninja switches out of battle, does the type reset to Water/Dark every time he switches back in? Or does it stay the type of the last move used? Ex: If I U-Turn out of a fight and switch back in later, is the Bug typing still there or has it reset to Water/Dark?

Anyone know if the Ability Capsule can be used switch to a Hidden Ability? Or is it just if the pokemon has one of two normal abilities?

It is absolutely ridiculous how the AI starts cheating past the 40 battles mark in Super Singles. This Veteran guy shows up with a Brightpowder Latios and my Ice Beam misses twice in a row. I nailed his Skarmory with EQ on the Roost and he has the berry which weakens GROUND moves (on a Skarmory...

Anyone have a Ralts with Trace? I've been breeding for hours but I keep getting ones with Synchronize. There's a 20% chance that it'll end up being Trace but holy crap I've got like a box full of Synchronize Ralts now. I can't find any on Route 4 either. EDIT: Nvm, just caught it! Found this...

Breeding experts, please help me out: I caught about 10 Dittos in the Friend Safari, found out what their 2 or 3 stats of 31 IV's are, and have each one appropriately nicknamed and stored in my boxes. Now I've got an Adamant Charmander and I was going to do 4 generations of breeding by passing...

Thats exactly why I'm confused. I do know that I want to go into engineering (I'm good at math and physics concept applications) and no other fields interest me. But what major in engineering is the problem - there's too many and I can't pick. I still have two semesters before I formally apply...

Oh wow, Smogon has its own little TF2 community? Sweet!! I've been playing TF2 since June 2008. Logged in 100+ hrs as Spy, Demoman, Medic and Engie each so far...around 60-70 hrs in each of the other classes. So yes, I've played the hell out of this game and it still doesn't get old.... Best...

Wow, haven't been to Smogon in a while. I'll post my senior year (yes, high school) grades: AP Calculus AB: A (5 on AP) Adv English Writing: B (eh...) AP Statistics: A (4 on AP) AP Physics C: B (4 on Mech AP; 4 on E&M AP) Digital Graphics & Multimedia Design: A Art Publications III: A I'll be...

I'm assuming those are 360-exclusive ranks. Yeah even on PC/PS3, majority of people prefer CoD4 because of its 'modern-ness'. BY THE WAY, Activision has announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (which is essentially CoD6) to be released in Fall 2009, incase you weren't aware of recent events.

Oh wow I gotta get back into SSBB. Haven't played in months...and quite surprised to see Toon Link in middle (yes he's my main).

Ah glad to see there's a TF2 community here at Smogon. Yes you guys should definitely buy this if you haven't done so already. I've got like 400 hrs into this game (Spy is my most played XD) and still loving it.

A Clockwork Orange (very interesting, even though some parts are horrific) and Digital Fortress (this was genius by Dan Brown, really - upto par with Angels and Demons, I'd say). Enjoyed 'em both, currently looking for something similar to read.
