That was taken around Season 5. I'm currently watching through Season 6 at the moment.

You are so predictable that I made my new avatar one of irritation.

Not much. Just got to my favourite disc of FFIX Weekend soooooon, going to try to enjoy it because boyfriend is busy the next two weekends. Think we'll plant the rose garden too

How are you?

All of my Box 1 Pokémon wouldn't go to your Box 1 anyway. The way I was planning to do it, your Box 1 would be equally distributed with Pokémon from all three. Because the first Pokémon I pull from Box 1 goes to your Box 1's first slot. The second Pokémon I pull from Box 2, and it goes to your Box 1's second slot, etcetera. That way we know that the boxes are mixed up from what I have, in addition to the general randomness of distribution and the die roll.

I didn't. I read it.



Thank you! Thank you! I'm here all week.

I thought you weren't a wizard anymore?

Wah! I went to lay down for just a couple of minutes and ended up falling asleep.

Your fault.

The tourney is comprised of my favorites, Fynn. You can't expect all of your favorites there. I don't particularly care for Larvesta one way or another. I mean, it's ok, but it's nothing that screams "awesome".

Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention: If I am happy with the hatched result, I reset the game anyway, then pick up the egg fresh. Guaranteed good eggs. It keeps your box from filling up with tons of useless Pokemon. Speaking of which, I have a lot of good Pokemon leftover from before I learned that trick.

Also, I figured out how I'm going to transfer them. Three boxes full of eggs. I'll start with box one. I'll roll a standard six sided dice. Then I'll roll it again. First roll will be column, second will be row (with a reroll if I get a 6). I'll trade that egg for the first Pokemon in your PC. Move on to box two, do the same thing, trade it for the second Pokemon. Etcetera. Should get them all jumbled up, and if you distribute them randomly, it'll be even better.

PS: Volcarona, on the other hand, is fantastic. So naturally Larvesta made it in. But no more revelations!

The child always has a 60% chance of keeping the ability of the mother (or the non-Ditto parent in a Ditto-breeding pair). With every Pokémon I'm breeding for this, I'm keeping an eye on the Ability. If it's one I actually think is worthwhile, I'll save before grabbing the egg (the RNG for egg generation is actually set quite a bit in advance, so it'll be the same egg even if I leave it there and go beat the Elite Four 20 times before I pick it up). Then I hatch the egg, see if it has the Ability, and if it doesn't, I reset, reject the egg, and try again.

Hidden Abilities are a little more rare than regular. Because, if it's not the inherited mother's ability, there's a 50% chance that it's one of the two Abilities that the Pokémon can have normally (unless the Pokémon only has one Normal Ability). So those odds are: Mother's - 60%. Ability A - 20%. Ability B - 20%. If the Mother's Ability IS Ability A, then your odds are: Ability A - 80%. Ability B - 20%. But a Hidden Ability will never be more than 60% chance to be passed down.

Since reloading gets me the same egg, I'll know that Pokémon has the particular Ability I want it to have.

Even so, this goes much faster than my standard breeding. Because NORMALLY, it has to have the Ability I want, it has to be female (I basically only use female Pokémon out of a weird OCD habit stretching back to Gen II), which SUCKS for Eevee and starters, which are mostly male, BTW. It also needs the right IV pairings. Assuming that I'm using two hex-flawless parents (which I wouldn't be, because if I had a hex flawless parent, I'm already done, this is just absolute best case scenario), that's another 1/6 chance to pass down the correct five IVs. So, for my Espeon... 1/6 chance for correct IV. 3/5 chance for Hidden Ability. 1/8 chance for correct gender. Not fun.

Alright then, I'll leave it in.
