You really can't blame people for being curious. At first there was no projected date, then BK makes an announcement that got people excited. Now it's back to TBA status and people are still excited, because they know it's coming soon. You can blame them for being impatient, though.

How much time do you actually lose by checking the front page? Anywhere from two to twenty seconds, depending on your internet connection. So even if you check every couple of days, you lose less than a minute out of an entire week. Numerically, I still don't see the point. I've added my two...

I tend to play a more offense-oriented game, but my focus on offense tends to leave my defense weak. Currently I'm exploring Bulky Offense options.

An RSS feed would be useful if updates were posted on a more frequent basis. Since the last three updates were Sept. 24, Oct. 10, and Oct. 18, I definitely wouldn't consider them "frequent", however informative. The time it would take to redesign the front page news to accommodate a weekly RSS...

Yes, it does. Source, from Bulbapedia: "Everything will stay the same, such as OT, ID number, item held, Pokérus if the Pokémon has it, and even the original type of Poké Ball used to capture the Pokémon, despite a Park Ball being used to recapture it."

It's ready when it's ready, and asking about it won't make it come any faster. If BK had an idea of when it would be ready, he would have already posted it. Be patient, keep checking every so often, and stay active in the community.

Ahh, I understand the EV spread issue. Thanks. Now for my other question:

Not like it matters much, but is this Farceus gonna have random IVs? I would assume so, but it would still suck if you ended up with 5 single-digit IVs. Then again, if each stat is gonna have 100 EVs, maybe the IVs will be fixed as well.

That kind of search could already be handled by the aforementioned search criteria. Maybe you won't be able to use "Spin Blocker" as a search criteria due to how vague such a term is, but if you searched for Pokemon with the Levitate ability that learned specific moves you were looking for...

As already stated, first year is meant to hit hard. Not only because of the dramatic shift from high school mentality to college mentality, but to knock out the kids who are only there to drink and waste their parent's money. The most important thing to do is make sure you're doing something...

Caroline, thank you. That is exactly the position I find myself in. Good to know I'm not alone on this one. I've been spending some time hanging out on #stark and listening to some of the discussion. And when I think I've learned something of value, I boot up Shoddy and fight a couple rounds...

It wouldn't be all that complicated, in theory. Start with the set of all Pokemon, then incrementally apply search criteria until all criteria have been exhausted or the result set comes back empty. The actual implementation of such a search may or may not work like that (it's been a while since...

Best. Fish. Ever. I'd elaborate if there was more of a story than that, but there really isn't. Marlins are amazing fish, I like fish, therefore through some form of transitive property I like marlins.

Once, when I was a young child, I accidentally pocketed a pack of candy. When I pulled it out of my pocket on the ride home and realized I didn't pay for it, my dad and I promptly returned to the gas station to pay for it. As far as larger items, I wouldn't do it. In the break room at work...

Driving a 1990 Plymouth Horizon, two weeks before I was to upgrade to my intermediate license, I was taking my friend home from school. In order to get from school to his house, the fastest route was down a little back road that was only wide enough for one car. As I pulled up to intersection...
