I really really doubt it will go that long, it will probably go to around noon or one but don't quote me.
This is probably the simplest of questions, but I'm really curious about the Mighty Ducks. I've been hearing a lot about them and I've been seeing them constantly at the national and regional events. What is the Mighty Ducks group all about?
It is an Elite group of VGC players that was coined last year by the MC, and it just stuck.
Other than that - It is like any team. Just a circle of friends who practice and play together.
If i missed anything - i am sure a duck will correct me soon.
Mostly Smogonites (and close friends of Smogonites) who have been chatting in #smogon for ages. Elite is kind of the wrong word I guess although it's also true in a sense. They're not ducks because they're "Elite Pokemon Players", they just happen to be awesome Pokemon players. Most likely because they've been playing on and off for a decade. There were ducks who never played VGC before placing as high as second and as low as a round 1 or 2 exit.
Also because the shirt is awesome. The coining of the term was last year at world's or nats. Someone can explain it better. Mr Huy Ha's Disney's Mighty Ducks themed team was the inspiration.
The shirt means the person is awesome, friendly, and from Smogon so go say hi and tell them who you are.
So, I saw this asked in another thread, and the poster was redirected here. I didn't see the same question asked anywhere in this thread, so I guess I'll do the honors.
What device was being used to record the VGA games? Is anything like it available for commercial purchase? Does it work with DS Lite and DSi? Will it blend?

At the VGC we had to put our games in a slot in a big white box. The DSs were connected by a cable to the box. We couldn't see inside the box so it's unclear what they were using. I'm not sure if there is anything commercially available to put the DS's top screen on a TV or to record it directly.
Well you are going to get DQ'd for the Jirachi since its banned. But yes, legal hacks aren't allowed, but RNG'd flawless pokemon are allowed.
Rule of thumb, always be polite. Never accuse someone of cheating because some people really do RNG really well. I played a guy with perfect shiny kyogre and a perfect shiny metagross. But if someone is using stats that aren't possible, ask a ref for help.
agreed
The majority of the people I played against RNGed (or SRed), and trained to some level above 50. The autoleveling makes it unnecessary to train to Lv. 100, and once you reach that level, you can't redo your EVs (which sucks... I'm gonna have to catch another Heatran... x_x)
VGC rules (together with technical support from the game) brings Pokémon above level 50 down to level 50, so there's no point in training higher. (The same way Battle Tower works.) And you can't redo EVs at level 100 nowadays, except using berries and vitamins; the PC does settle the EVs, but there's no way to gain the EVs to settle in the first place, as at lv. 100 you can't gain experience.
And SR = Soft Reset, repeatedly loading from a save file then catching a Pokémon in the hope of getting one with good stats at random. Much more tedious than RNGing, although it tends to give decent results eventually (some players are morally opposed to RNGing, for some reason).
I just PM'ed you about a different Modest Kyogre. Try getting 7014gree's Modest Shiny Kyogre. Kazo's Kyogre is only redistributal by the ones who received it from his Giveaway.
The chances of pokemon having perfect IVs legitimately are close to 100% if not 100% if they know how to RNG Abuse. Otherwise it is impossible if they breed with two pokemon that have a total of three flawless IVs in a stat or more. If it is a capture it is 887503681 if they don't know how to RNG Abuse along with a good nature the chances are much less. So the only way to get one really usable you need to RNG it most of the time.
Idunno man, a lot of people, even here have bred some crazily good IV pokes without RNG abuse. Me personally, I've never had the patience to do it, but especially with the new "power item trick" in HG/SS to guarantee you pass a given IV, I think it's definitely possible even without RNG abuse.
