Yeah, I enjoy that one as well. Like I said, a lot of the music is so awesome in this one. I felt they have been stepping it up for awhile now, but like most aspects of these versions, they really raised the bar.Quote:

Event Pokémon and genders. Despite how common Dittos are (just check the GTS if you haven't reached them yet), GameFreak insists on making so many Pokémon who are (for all practical purposes) all-male. Or the event Torchic, who is always male, just so that its Hidden Ability won't be passed down. Again, why? What good does restricting the breeding on these things do? Most players don't breed until postgame anyway (when, again, Ditto), but even for those who do, why restrict the Hidden Abilities that way?
Its called a challenge to catch them all. Not everyone can be the very best.
My Mom has a 3DS so I cracked and bought Pokemon Y. I now walk among you nerds.
I don't even know who you are on Facebook :p I decline friend requests of names I don't recognise so it was probably that ^^Quote:

That's over 10% of a stat for pretty much every stat of almost every Pokémon in the game. Yes, you can manipulate them somewhat with breeding. Provided that you have high-IV parents to breed in the beginning. Otherwise, too bad. Because, basically, if the game doesn't want you to get good IVs, you're screwed and there is nothing you can do about it.
The event Pokémon. I still don't get this. People whine about companies making "on-disc DLC" all the damn time, and yet no one complains about the event Pokémon, which are exactly the same thing. They make content which is completely unobtainable outside of their events, which are themselves location and time specific.
Yes, IVs are a flawed mechanic that seem arbitrary at best. Hidden numbers, I hate you. You can manipulate the IVs in your benefit through breeding though. Also, they don't complain about the Event Pokemon because nobody pays for it. That's it. End of story. No reason at all to complain.Quote:

Also... I caught me a Goomy. I'm... so in love. Plus it's description as the weakest Dragon is kinda funny.
I've been chilling with my Goomy, who is now Sliggoo (but still called Goomy). I told Denmark that a wonderful name for a male Goomy would be Mr. Magoo.
So, because I am insane and apparently have nothing better to do with my time, I'm also going to breed a dozen of each fossil pokemon. And since it seems eggs are tradeable, you'll get an egg, unless I get exceedingly bored and hatch them, but they take 4+ times as long to hatch as the starters, even with a Torkoal in the lead.
I figured a good name for a female Goomy would be Goomhilda. But this is totally awesome and relevant:
Attachment 48051
Tas is the local breeder it seems. ;p
I... I approve. Not a naming convention I would have thought of, probably (certainly not for Goomy). But as a huge fan of the Arthurian legends (my favorite is the tale of Sir Gawain and Lady Ragnelle), I cannot help but approve of the sheer magnificence and care in that team.Quote:
