Groost! So clever yet to simple!

"Never heard" of the shiny clause? Really? I guess I could understand not implementing it? But not really?? And they're not emulating? Why not just catch it and not use it? Or catch it and Wonder Trade, if they really don't care? And shiny LYCANROC, which is so pretty! Guh! It's physically...

And they still expand item 6 into ridiculous levels?

When RBY came out on VC, I bought Yellow. It was technically my first game and holds lots of nostalgia for me. Now I'm seeing all of these tutorials on getting good transfers and everything seems to involve the MissingNo glitch in some capacity. Apparently this glitch is dangerous to get with...

Oops! Sorry. That's pretty rad, though.

I'm guessing MissingNo. will not transfer at all. Pokemon Bank has its fair share of checks, so I'm sure they'd be able to manage to block if it they wanted to, and I feel they might want to. I'd suspect the Mew glitch might be the same, since there isn't a legitimate way to get Mew on VC, it...

As of Gen IV, it's about a Pokemon's speed. According to Bulbapedia, it's 4x effective if used on a Pokemon with a base speed greater than 100. So, yep, it works extra well on Tapu Koko (130)!

I find the EXP share annoying for the same reasons, in-game. I love it post-game for leveling up a lot of mons at once, though. It's also nice that you have the ability to use hold items without things getting irritating. I remember a Leafgreen run when I kept alternating things like black...

I have nothing to brag about with names. My names tend to be stupid and/or inappropriate, like I'm 12 and not 26. I do have a little anecdote, however. . . I was playing Alpha Sapphire and caught a Gulpin. I'm not going to post exactly what I named it because I'm not entirely sure if that's...

The limit does not exist. All the reasonable trades get snagged FAST. I was wondering if everyone was truly that stupid, then I noticed how quickly my version-exclusive for comparable version-exclusive trades went. Like, minutes. At some point when your GTS trade doesn't get picked up, surely...

Razor claw and metal coat. Pokemon Sun and Moon. Why? If they were for National Dex Pokemon only, fine. But you need Scizor and Weavile to complete the Alolan Pokedex so. . . WHY? The plus-side is I randomly snagged a metal coat off of a Skarmory when KOing Pokemon in Vast Poni Canyon, waiting...

If I'm reading the edit right, it's even rarer: 1.25%? I'm shocked that the first Nihilego I caught with a satisfactory nature had HP fire. I thought "oh neat, out of 16 types" and felt grateful enough just from that.

I love that this thread exists. That says it all. Previous Pokemon games, I barely remember who 90% of the major characters are. Now we have memorable characters with personalities and plots. The mind boggles. I can't think of anything to say that hasn't been said when it comes to specific...

Wanting to try competitive battling again! Not sure where to start! Stalking the Orange Islands for now?

I just wanted to say your signature. . . is. .. amazing.
