By that argument, why would I want to spend hours and hours getting every star in Super Mario 64 when I can just plug in a GameShark and unlock them all?
Lol you're seriously comparing fun platforming to constantly riding back and forth on a bike for 5 hours?

I'm pretty sure 99% of people would choose the platformer... including you.

Because it's fun to get the stars.
Getting 100 coins on Rainbow Ride isn't. =P

And some people may find breeding to be fun, too.

I could've tried to come up with a more comparable example but no matter what I don't think it's going to change your opinion at all. (And I didn't say "You can either get all of the stars in SM64 or breed a team", I merely compared the two. So there is no "choosing" the platformer.)

Some people find breeding fun, some people don't. I don't find it fun trying to get 100 coins on Rainbow Ride, so why don't I just use a GameShark to get it? Because I want the satisfaction of having gotten it myself. Why doesn't everyone go construct a team in 5 seconds on Shoddy? Because some people actually want the satisfaction of building a team themselves.

This kind of mentality is why I kind of hate the concept of Shoddy.

1/120th of SM64 isn't fun.

That's certainly better than the fun-ness of breeding.
But that isn't a fact, it's your opinion. See I don't love riding the bike, but I love the thrill of IV battles. Seeing how close I can get to perfection. >_> Just saying, I love breeding, it's really fun to me=/

Boy we need a breeding thread or something, this shiz is tight!
I finally caught that Timid Lugia that I'll probably never use, so I need to beat the elite four and then my next project will be...
Adamant Weavile. Why not.

^ I would love that, I could write pages on breeding, natures, etc... it's my thing. I've nearly 4 teams, and I'm not bad at battling, but I love breeding. I'd be a slightly better Brock D:.

If I knew where to post it, and if I was allowed, I'd love to write one D:

Then again, Smogon's guide has it full so meh.

What is your Lugia's Characteristic?

Yay for post 666.

We did have a breeding thread remember?

I made it a shiny thread, but then it got stickied and the OPer changed, even though much of the actual OP stayed the same, with the addition of being able to talk about breeded pokemon.

If you mean the IVs and what not, pretty bad if I remember.

HP: 4
Atk: 16
Def: 30
Sp.A: 5
Sp.D: 19
Spe: 25

I was so fed up with this thing that when Abra finally synched with this thing, I kept it. I'll definetly get a better spread with Suicune. He might be my Masterball.

Yeah, I SRed Lugia forever to get a 24/X/19/28/27/31 or something like that... My best Legendaries are Mewtwo/Suicune though. Both Timid, Suicune is 24/20/18/31/24/31 (good average stats( and Metwo 18/31/15/31/19/31

Right now I'm breeding Bagons... My girlfriend got the best mixmence EVER. 29-31-30-31-27-31 ... trying to get one too D:

Oh my! Do not tell me where she lives caused I'd totally snatch that thing up :D

In D/P I had a Jolly Weavile, with 12/31/4/22/15/31 for a Hail team I was starting up. I cant even find my Diamond cartridge now :/

Oh dude, I scored bigtime XD. We're so dorky we met on an mmo (Final Fantasy XI) and now live together. I have the perfect nerd/romance story, XD.

Also, with the bracers on SS you can gradually build up 31s, so you could expand on the Weavile hardcore. I like Weavile, but he just... is meh.

Oh, and you'd be afraid to snatch her up, as we live in Alabama, lord of the hillbillies =P

I misplaced her for that... lol god that is complete fail. >_> /Facepalm

Should I keep this or keep going?

Naive - 29-28-30-30-29-31

I dislike it's one 31... (and 28 in attack) but the stats are so well averaged...

P.S. It's a mixmence.

^ Aww man I hate that, just too many points shy of perfection. I'm moving on to Lucario/Dnite/Heatran/Azelf now, 29/28/29/30/30/31 may be only 1 31... but it's stats are so well averaged.. usually I get 28/31/27/31/26-27/31...but it';s a pretty beastly mixmence imo.

2 more breeders then I've got to get my dex to national on diamond .-.

Ok sorry but massive brain fart here. So it goes;

Egg Moves
Nature
IVs w/ Power Items?

And with power items, If I get a Magikarp with x/31/x/x/x/x and need to get one 31 speed IV on it, how would i go by doing that? Breed it with a x/x/x/x/x/31 Ditto? And then with Natures... Ugh.

Egg Moves
Male passes down. Remember if you put a lv1 Dratini male with Extremespeed in daycare he'll pass it down EVEN IF HE FORGETS IT, but if you take him out of daycare and put him back, he won't.
Nature
Random, but if the female has a everstone her nature is 50%. Ditto is ALWAYS the female, even on female/ditto relations.
IVs w/ Power Items?
Give it to the male. Jolly Ditto with X/X/X/X/X/31 and male Magikarp with Power Bracer[Atk] X/31/X/X/X/ will pass down Jolly 50% of the time, and 31 Atk 100% of the tjme. The 31 speed follows the random IV caculation of being the other 2 stats passed down.

And with power items, If I get a Magikarp with x/31/x/x/x/x and need to get one 31 speed IV on it, how would i go by doing that? Breed it with a x/x/x/x/x/31 Ditto? And then with Natures... Ugh.
I don't know if that helps any, but there you go.

I'd like to correct that the Ditto classifies as a Male AND Female, but simply with the lack of moves to pass, it's male side never shows without hacks :p

Dunno. I used a egg hatch thing on FireRed WAY back in the day next thing I know ... I can't move and when I restart it automatically says corrupt. Then I had a diamond do something similar but it fixed after a reset. Then a GCN game .. Sonic A2B glitched when I used a flying glitch XD.

I just stay away from it all, but I really need to invest in a Codebreaker/usb for data backup now... such a waste of 40 dollars >.>

Fixed, no files be corruptin dis wai!
Despite what propaganda Nintendo likes to put out, like how "altered files" may "negatively affect your experience", it's actually pretty hard to screw up your game with AR unless you do something stupid.

Like put on 200 codes at once or something.

I've been using AR on my SoulSilver for a looong time. I even replaced my character sprite a few times and it was all good in the hood.

Just don't use a bazillion codes at once.

I like to keep my games pure now. I used to use AR to get guys that I missed the events for, but now I just watch for when the events are to make sure I get them the right way.

I don't use AR to obtain Pokemon I don't have. Sure, I clone Pokemon and quick hatch eggs, but I'll trade for any other Pokemon.

So... anyone have an Arceus?

nothing beats the original games but this is one that I would recommend to a new crowd. A large variety of pokemon, a fun game and competitive online. Just dont run into those trainers that use Action Replays to boost their pokemon to level 100 and max everything out lol. GOOD LUCK NEW GENERATION
