Hey everyone, I'd like an opinion on something. I'll be creating a brand new trade thread about one month from today (when I get out of college for the summer), and I'd like to know everyone's favorite format for a shop. Currently, mine uses lots of images, and with a stock as expansive as mine, I know the load time can be a big of a drag. So, what do people like, and what do you find easiest to read?

1) 3D models, or just sprites?
2) Images of all evolution stages, or just the first/just the final?
3) Information centered, or along the left margin?

...or does no one care at all?

1) it don't matter really, but some of the shinys got some slightly different shades in 6th gen than from 5th gen
2) I think the base pokemon works just fine unless you're putting up battle ready stuff
3) Don't matter to me, I guess center looks nicer and then you just focus on the center of the page

Wait you can check egg ESVs?
If so and I can get 4-5 more eggs would you be willing to check them for me please?

I only check in large batches as my Y cart died because I was constantly checking eggs for people. I can contact you when I'm about to check another batch of 30 but I won't check them before then.

As as its well organized like the one you have
 
Is there any reason to get the lowest (physical) attack stat possible on special attackers aside from lowering confusion and foul play damage?

I got TWO koffings in the same 30 egg batch with the same SV of 0995 and both have great spreads, but no match. I think the RNG just likes to laugh at me. Anyone else have this happen? I recall a guy asking me to hatch two of eggs that shared my TSV and were of different species, so this may not be as rare as I thought?

Depends on your viewpoint, while there's no match right now if such individual appears you'll have two shiny competitive koffings for the price of one. And since there's a finite number of possible TSV's it's not that surprising (you might as well buy a lotto ticket though)

1) If your thread is centered about pokemon in matching balls then use 3D models.
2) Following the previous point, only the final form would be necessary. However just putting the final forms might mislead viewers into thinking you're offering Battle Ready Pokemon.
3) I like Centered more.

I don't know about you but I'm feeling kind of lazy somehow. I think I'm just completely stressed out with my responsibilites & my priorities, and I'm just having a lot of things going up in my mind by thinking and doing everything at once. So I think I need to rest.

I have Timid perfect Litleos I could go for a HP Ice spread on as I have the Dittos to do it. If you're interested.

That'll do. If my need changes I'll let you know.

Pretty much thats the reason for 0 attack. And I'm probably am just going to hold onto them for a week or two, then I'll just throw them in my thread.

Dream Ball works pretty well if you happen to hatch a shiny Aerodactyl, but otherwise they all look great.



Safari works better, because I don't believe Friend Ball is possible :p

All apricorn balls are possible for kanga. I really want some opinions on this, as im gonna start breeding soon and cant decide the ball
 
Is there any legitimate way (or at least 'legal' way where Smogon would allow trading of offspring) to get female fossils in different Pokeballs (note that my Entree Forest on all Gen V games is empty atm)?

Trading with people that did their matching balls back then. Also browsing through pokecheck helps.

I'm not sure if that's considered 'legal'...I mean, doing the matching balls thing on Pokemon from Entree Forest is definitely legal, but the Pokecheck thing...probably not. You can use Pokecheck Pokemon yourself, but I don't believe you're allowed to trade them. not sure about the policy with trading their offspring.

1. I'm not sure it matters, I personally like 3D sprites as they move and look realistic, but they actually make my browser lag a bit and with a stock as big as yours it might be irritating for people with worse computers (seriously, half the time I click on the first post of your thread google chrome crashes >.<).
2. I would only include images if the ball suited it further upon it's evolution, for example you could have a repeat ball magikarp and it'd be neat, but it looks bad on gyarados.
3. I personally find left margin to be easier to read, even if it is solely for the fact I am accustomed to it because most people have their threads spaced that way.

Dude, as long as the RNG is legit on Pokecheck there is no problem in breeding offspring and trading it...

Well you asked the question was for a "'legal' way where Smogon would allow trading of offspring" and considering a lot of smogon users themselves have kindly put up their own pokemon as public on pokecheck (including smogon's mods and researchers) I think there's no other way to look at it.

Actually, I'm not the person who asked for it. I just responded. :P

1) I prefer 3D moving sprites myself, for your large stock maybe just still images in 3D?
2) Just the first I think.
3) I prefer centered but I don't really think it matters.
4) Thanks again for the dex help! Really love my shiny charm.
