Normal GTS, actually I am yet to try Negotiations. Is it good? (I assume it is for you at least since you got this Pokemon).

@SMZ - I tried it yesterday, and ughhh, tons of kids trying to trade their lv.100 Mewtwos in Master Ball for something equaly "awesome". And if you don't put your choices in less than a minute they always disconnect.

Actually, it's mostly just people offering shinies (probably hacked too) and making people feel bad when they can't offer more up.

You thought people trying to flaunt their e-dicks were bad? Now they can do that in Pokemon!

I just end the trade the second I see a hacked shiny. Bitches can't make me feel bad now, huh?

SMZ · May 14th, 2011, 4:49:51 PM

Speaking of hacked shinies, I'm seeing these shinies in normal GTS for lv 9 and under Reshiram/Zekrom or other "impossible" stuff. Most of these pretty sure it's the same japanese dude, go look up tentacool, then tentacruel, then phanpy, forgot others and you'll know what I mean.

That is really starting to bug me. They just clog up the servers with impossible trades. They should make "Filters" or something to make sure that what they want isn't impossible to get. It's just a waste of space on the GTS.

God, I love the Hax Subway.

I see a Shuckle. Mienshao uses Fake Out, business as usual. Stone Edge misses, Shuckle Power Tricks. HJK misses, I die to Rock Slide. No big deal, I've got Gyarados in reserve, Waterfall will get the job done...no wait, Quick Claw. I suppose I can hope Darmanitan can kill his entire team will Flare Blitz...nope, Quick Claw.

The hax on Darmanitan wouldn't have changed anything, as his last two were Tentacruel and Donphan and I was Scarfed, but Gyarados would have torn his team apart. I guess having a Life Orb instead of a Wide Lens on Mienshao didn't help either, but Mienshao just want the extra power so badly, Life Orb makes such a big difference on what Fake Out + HJK does and does not kill.

It wasn't an amazing streak, only 43, but it was by far the best I've done. Just wanted to vent.

Welcome to Pokemon.

That's why I don't play the battle subway; I hate getting insanely pissed off when I break my previous win streak record, only to lose the next battle to a cheap crit/miss.

AuraSphere · May 14th, 2011, 5:48:54 PM

I only use it if I need a particular item, like the Air Balloon. Right now I have like 200 BP, so thankfully I won't be going there for a while.

Serious_Business · May 14th, 2011, 6:00:27 PM

I still need to get a Balloon, Focus Sash, Choice Band, maybe a status orb or two, and that's ignoring whether I want duplicates.

Green Mage · May 14th, 2011, 6:09:28 PM

^There's no point in even worrying about held items right now since competitive battles are impossible.

Do you mean lv. 100 6 v. 6 battles? I'm also confused (and I don't mind flat battle yet).

And even then, level 100 6 vs 6 still exists, you just have to train everyone to 100 this time

thunderstone · May 14th, 2011, 6:58:13 PM

Why are level 50 battles uncompetitive?

In flat battles you can only have 3 pokes as opposed to 6 in singles; also, if you choose to do free mode at lv.50, you might miss out on some moves that are learned after lv.50 (i.e. Flame Dance for Volcarona)

Green Mage · May 14th, 2011, 7:21:22 PM

Sorry it's hard to elaborate on my cell. 6v6 battling doesn't level all pokemon to 100 in black and white, and it would take months to level all your stuff to 100 without hacking.

People used to level up their Pokemon to level 100 all the time, I don't think it took months, especially for just a handful of Pokemon.

The problem I see with that is if something on your team doesn't "work" so to speak; I guess you could trade it, but if you don't like it/can't trade for something you want, you've wasted about a week or two to train/breed it.

Then again, maybe I was just really inefficient in training back in 4th gen.

Even though the decision to remove autolevel battles perplexes me, it doesn't take that long to level up something to 100. It takes about 2 days or so with Lucky Egg abuse, maybe longer if the Pokemon is in the Fluctuating experience group *Glares at Hariyama*.

Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but I have boxes upon boxes of Pokemon I've EV trained over the past few years. I'm constantly breeding and training up new Pokemon (sometimes even 4+ per week, depending on how picky I am with IVs). There's no way I can legitimately get them all to 100 without wanting to kill myself. Getting them to 50 is fine, especially with the new exp formula, but then I can only do 3v3. It's really lame... I don't know why they couldn't just add customizable rules for friend code matches like PBR had.

I'm currently just making do with triples and rotation. All I know is that whenever the 3rd version/RS remakes/PBR2 come out, I'll be withholding my purchase until I know for sure what wi-fi rules they have.

Nothing else really seemed "techno". Nuvema, Accumula (I love getting the Piano & Drums every time I go there), the route music, White Opelucid (it is bliss), Sky bridge and so on.

Some of the battle themes, especially for legendaries/E4 members, maybe. But you've got very relaxing/emotional/not-techno-at-all music along with those, like White!Opelucid, not-Summer-Undella, and that one track that plays when Bianca confronts her father.

Probably another layer of the whole nature versus technology theme.

The weird thing is that there DOES seem to be a filter in place... on the other side. The GTS won't allow you to put up (or trade) impossible Pokemon, it just doesn't stop you from asking for them.

People found this out by hacking level 9 legendaries in an attempt to stick it to the idiots clogging up the GTS, iirc.

I had a Quick Claw Zweilous eat my team when Quick Claw activated every. single. turn.
