Just to check, can you SOS chain dittos? If so then hello easy Perfect IVs.

Yes, but 6IVs are difficult to get, a chain of 40 gives 4,5IVs though iirc

You just dug your own grave, if anything

Yes, but 6IVs are difficult to get, a chain of 40 gives 4,5IVs though iirc

The maximum is 4 perfect IVs(that are guaranteed anyways)
I got my Shiny Oricorio that way and when I finally checked its IVs...
It has perfect IVs on everything BUT the two maxed EV stats it has and uses

Heck even 3-4 perfects will make the process a lot easier. Now I just need enough BP for the Destiny Knot. I hope the enventual Bank update allows you to transfer BP from that to SuMo too.

Rough translations by Fubarduck:
- Nova: Had been strongly pushed by Marvel since Vanilla MVC3. "He's required for the next version" we were told.
- Ghost Rider: He was indeed popular/well-known. We saw that the "motorcycle issue", could be compromised by including it in his move set.
- Doctor Strange: Pushed super hard by Marvel. We thought we'd be able to make him unique as a "magic" user - he was really fun to work on.
- Rocket Raccoon:We were actually feeling out Squirrel Girl at the same time, but the Raccoon army beat out the Squirrel army in the office.
- Blade: Too many components that would've come from Dante I think...
- Spider-Woman: The flying and electricity would've been too similar to Trish...
- Psylocke: Well-known, good design, and having Strider as a rival would've been interesting - but the fans' voices just weren't loud enough.
- Spiral: From the previous title. Creating a fencer with 6 arms plus magic would've been crazy hard - please forgive me!
- Cloak and Dagger: Has a huge aesthetic impact, and if we treated it like a stand from Jojo's it would definitely be interesting! But in a mirror match w/assists, you'd have absolutely no idea what was happening on the screen. And I mean, double the work, no way!
- Multiple Man: Like I said - workload.

These makes it seem like Nova and Dr Strange are guaranteed to return, with high likelihood for Ghost Rider and Rocket.
The Psylocke comment is legitimately surprising. Assuming there's no licensing issues I'd say her chances went up a lot.
If Trish is NOT returning, then that means we actually could get Spider-Woman?
Sounds like a soft de-confirm for Blade, Spiral, and Multiple Man, though with the loss of assists maybe C&D still have a shot?

Nova being pushed is surprising, but I may also be forgetting about a new comic series that came out around that same time or something (his DLC costume?). Hopefully he returns, his theme song is marvelous (pun intended).

Kind of weird it took Dr. Strange so long to get in originally, though he's practically guaranteed for the upcoming game. Wouldn't be surprised if they were debating between Psylocke & Gambit at the time. How they'll handle the X-Men continues to be interesting.

I'm still curious as to why Doc Ock was canned given his recent posts revealed that he had artwork and a theme song all ready to go.

Man, the wild Pokemon are really dumb sometimes:

Wild Exeggcute used Worry Seed.
Salazzle gained Insomnia.
Wild Exeggcute used Sleep Powder.
But it failed!

 

[praline]

My fries and burger pokemon can learn scald and has storm drain as its hidden ability.

 

[Metal Shop X]

So I just got another Popplio, who is a male.
Sooooo.....does anyone here want a Japanese Popplio?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

There's a 1/8 chance for getting a female starter

Is it that low?

idk, I got a female rowlet right away from the start but I didnt want a girl so that was pretty useless to me

 

[Deleted member]

May I ask why people care about genders in Pokemon so much?

 

[Curious Villager]

Just got Solgaleo through a trade. I think I got all Sun exclusives through trades now. Just need to see if anyone has a spare Cosmog/Cosmoem and Type: Null/Sylvally they are fine to part with then I think I got all the Sun exclusives and one off Pokemon in my game.

All that's left then is to catch any Gen 7 mons I have left and then waiting for Pokemon bank to become compatible with Sun & Moon. Then my living dex will be complete again.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Hey @Cyndane , I have a question, I heard that, since you hacked the game. You could get any Pokemon you wanted. (Or atleast, that's what I understand)

So, do you think you could find a Ditto for me? I really want to the three starter being from my game via breeding, not from other because....well, they would feel more like my Pokemon.

Of course, if you are busy, take your time. It is just a request and I don't want to force you or anything like that.

And if not, then still, thank you for reading this post.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Can't say that I'm not excited that actual Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE doujin are finally featured in an event. Sure it's small, but it's a good start for the growing fujoshi fandom the game had for a year. Who nows, someone who loves doujin but never heard of the game might pick it up, like it, and buy his/her own copy of the game later down the line. No such publicity as bad publicity as they would say. Unless it involves a jealous **** threatening the Kuroko no Basket fandom multiple times over his hatred of fujoshi doujin and that series (Good thing he's been behind bars since the last couple years).

It was about damn time it happened too.

Spoiler: heavy One Piece spoilers

Pudding had the best Devil Fruits in a long time. Love the hax-y direction that Oda is going for now.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I just want pokebank to update, I want my Delphox, Pumpakboo and the rest of my gen 6 pokemon back in my arms

 

[WeirdChillFever]

May I ask why people care about genders in Pokemon so much?

Because a male Rowlet called "Dartemis" would just be weird

Also FakeMon time!

Chairfull [Steel/Poison]
This wheelchair would love for people to sit on it to drain it from its energy, so it poisons everybody who sits on it so that they are immobile.
When the host dies, the Chairfull tries to look for new prey by making itself as comfy-looking as possible.

Speaking of I finally found the shiny exeggcute I was hunting for this morning...

Its funny cuz whenever an exeggcute would put me to sleep it just uses Worry Seed the next turn so it wakes me up...made hunting them fairly simple since it pretty much makes three of their moves useless after giving my pokemon insomnia...

Was actually thinking of going for shiny Alolan Meowth next, since Persian's got a pretty cool dark blue colouration...

I mean, I wanted to name my Rowlet Niles and the popplio Shigure and those two characters arent females. But mainly I want more males because, for some reason, the game is throwing females at me left and right.

I could ask the same thing about Natures

My friend has a female Decidueye but he named her Owliver regardless.
And I got several female Rowlet when I was soft resetting for a Jolly Rowlet but I named them Coo anyway (Though mine did end up being a boy)

I could ask the same thing about Natures

Natures are actually important though.
They influence how a Pokemon's stat grows, and who would want a super fast Pokemon with a nature that lowers speed?

aparently Im the only one because Ive had some slow ass pokemon that can still kick ass.

As long as they can take a hit, evade things, get crits Im fine with them.

For the record, the original plan was for Activision to buy them up. They were the highest bidder for the longest time. Nintendo and Activision were in deep negotiations over the properties they owned. Nintendo keeping them close for properties like DK, Banjo, etc. while extending their resources to make 3rd party properties that could extend to other systems. Making Rare even more of a household name. That plan fell through though when Microsoft came in with a crazy ridiculous amount of money. What's crazy is that Activision would go on to buy out Vivendi. The owners of Crash and Spyro.

But yes, Nintendo and Rare's relationship was being tested towards the back end of Star Fox Adventures. Creative differences were the most obvious problems. Nintendo definitely tried to pull another Donkey Kong Country with their rebranding of Dinosaur Planet which was, in hindsight a bad idea.

We may not be able to paint Nintendo as an angel but saying they didn't/don't care about Rare is downright wrong.

The bottom line is that Nintendo isn't the saint people make them out to be and they could have easily bought out Rare to avoid the problem in the first place. Why even sell it out the Activision when the company was doing great business for Nintendo?

What it really boils down to was them messing around with Rare's projects by inserting their own IP in a game Rare made and not even bothering to retain their stake in the company which was incredibly stupid given that most of their critically acclaimed games and best sellers came from Rare at the time (SNES & N64).

If I were Rare I would be incredibly pissed off at a company who not only demands things from games I make but also doesn't even bother to keep their stake in my company which is critical for my company's future success even more so the fact that the next Gen console's (6th Gen console games at the time) required more money and resources to make. Considering Rare went on record to state that they needed to be completely bought out by Nintendo to have the resources to take on the task, I don't see why Rare would even want to go back to Nintendo.

Honestly the best case scenario would be for Playtonic to buy out the rights to the Banjo series or even buy out Rare outright but that's better in theory than practice. Who knows, if Yooka Laylee does well financially for Playtonic maybe they'll have the money to do so which would be great because then we would finally have a proper Banjo Threeie game.

That's not the problem, the problem is getting natures that hinder the Pokemon's most used stats
What's the point of having a Jolteon that's slower? What's the point of having a Nidoking that fails to OHKO opponents due to his nature? What's the point of having a tank that can't take a hit?
And there's also the fact natures also improve on the stats so the difference between a -Spe Jolteon and a +Spe one is of 20%
My Mudsdale managed to tank special hits just as good as as physical ones thanks to being Sassy, meanwhile, my Lurantis couldn't take a single physical hit due to being -Def

As long as they can take a hit, evade things, get crits Im fine with them.

Almost every Pokemon can take a neutral hit in the maingame and the other two don't even depend on your Pokemon itself

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Speaking of Pokemon, is it just me or are these Jaoanese Pokemon beasts. Most of the Japanese pokemon I got took hits and cluched like A champ

No thats what Im saying. For all I know, All my pokemon might have bad natures and yet I stick with them because they are good enough for me. They may not ohko pokemon, I dont really care if they dont.

Playtonic buying Rare would just give them the people who haven't worked on anything, not to mention Playtonic said they want YL to be more original. And Nintendo did something Microsoft didn't. Artistic freedom. Nintendo let Rare do what they wanted, Microsoft wouldn't let them make games unless Microsoft wanted the games. "Can we make Banjo Threeie?" "No, make this specific type of game and only when we say it". Not to mention Rare loved making games meaning they wouldn't be demanded anything

Then don't say like it's some alien concept to want good natures, it may not matter to you but it matters a lot to most because it affects HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME

I LOVE whoever is in charge of the electronic billboards around town. Every time a major star passes away, they'll display a sweet and heart warming remembrance for that person.

Today, I saw one where the Millennium Falcon was flying in space and you can the see the jet streaks making a heart-shaped loop-de-loop as a tribute to Carrie Fisher.

I want to see who's in charge of these and thank them.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Did they give a specific date for pokebank or did they just say "January"?

 

[Opossum]

I just got kind of lucky that the Mudsdale and Dhelmise I used throughout the story were Adamant with pretty good IVs (bottle caps baby). It's nice being able to use story 'mons for more than just the story.

What do bottle cap do? I have some but Idk what they do So I was just planning on throwing them out
oh wait, you cant discard? well let me fix that. I moved them all the free space

 

[Cutie Gwen]

They raise IVs of the pokemon, maximizing the potential stat a pokemon can naturally have. Very valuable due to their rarity

Yeah, lol, I was actually chaining Exeggcute for a "Harvest" one last night. It was the worry seed that made it easy

 

[PK_Wonder]

May I ask why people care about genders in Pokemon so much?

Any combination of immersion, slight aesthetic differences in some species, breeding purposes, and sometimes evolutionary/moveset differences.

"No, make this specific type of game and only when we say it". Not to mention Rare loved making games meaning they wouldn't be demanded anything

What do you mean? Playtonic is mostly comprised of the team that made the N64 Banjo games.

There is no defending Microsoft as I mentioned before and in no way was any of my posts defending Microsoft's handling of the Banjo series but I hardly see how Banjo would be better off with Nintendo nowadays. Yes, Nintendo allowed Rare to have creative freedom for Banjo which i'm grateful for but they didn't bother trying to retain the rights to the series and they let it go casually when Banjo was one of the most iconic N64 games out there and the fact that Rare was a huge part of Nintendo's success in the 90's.

Dinosaur Planet was supposed to be a thing until Nintendo forced them to turn it in to Star Fox Adventures. If I were Rare i'd be pretty pissed off that my idea is not only being lost but is also being changed in to one of Nintendo's.
