¡Gracias!
Con gusto
OMA @TCMets I wasn’t paying attention to the screen and the battle started XD Can we start over?
Yes xD
“Pokemon caught- 214” WUUTT? :O
The battle is just getting started!
I’m a collector xD
That Psyshock! :O Sorry my computer lagging but I’ll refresh after I post this comment.
Meet Mega Mawile 🙂
“Say hello to my little friend!” Sorry had to get that out of the way.
Nice battle! I was so close to getting Talonflame! Wow :O
Awesome battle, just awesome! Came down to one on one, gotta love when that happens 😀
If only gym battles were similar…
Yeah =/ It’d be nice to have challenging gyms, but that won’t happen with 3 Pokemon.
Rollout coming through!
ooh battles xD
after the battle can you put up your FC
Sure~
Watch out for Talonflame 😛
aka Kamakaze
haha the thing is indestructible xD
there are ways to get around it….but I’ll save that when I battle TC..xD
I tried Belly Drum Snorlax…almost pulled it off 😛
Snorlax is so bulky!!! xD
If you want bulk…..I have just the thing… eviolite chansey…
Nonononononononononono! :O
btw I have a Chansey….muhahahah xD
I will not accept your challenges! Stay back! Stay far away! xD
No talonfalme wants to FlareBlitz or BraveBird a chansey…with over 650 HP xD
None of my Pokemon want that! We’d all rather cry in a corner and beg the bulky go away xD
She loves her Poké Puffs <3
I see what you mean -_-
That was a great battle!!! Came down to the wire!!! 😀 You’ve raised your Chesnaught really well!
Yours didn’t get to do anything so I wouldn’t know but I’m sure it was raised great!
I had to use it as a sacrifice to see what moves you planned on using with that other Charizard form. Poor Chestnut didn’t even get to attack lol 🙁
Mwhahahha I still have some hidden…
Chesnaught moves? Or other Pokemon?
Yes no maybe so…
Darn you! xD
“No need to worry!” for now…
I wish I could find a video with Dawn saying that!
Till we meet again 🙂 Or in this case, battle again 😉
Haha yeah 🙂 I need to EV train my competitive battling team so that’s why they were a bit off this time we battled.
Do you plan on using Mega Aggron?
Yes no maybe so mwhahaha
I was pretty much expecting that answer xP

Going to try and beat Victory Road today! 😀
I’m on my way there myself 😀 Have you gotten the Earthquake TM btw?
its on route 22, up the waterfall next to the chamber of emptiness.
Thank you haha, but I know 😛 I was curious if Jordin found it because I was surprised his Aggron didn’t use Earthquake in our battle. So I was gonna tell him where to find it xD
I haven’t trained my competitive team yet, they were at level 30 and Aggron at 49 xD
Thank you! I only knew it was on Route 22 but I couldn’t find it 🙂
No, but I really wanted it ever since that guy that blocks the entrance to VR has a Raichu.
Did you like the AZ explanation? I almost cried manly tears XD
Did you like the cutscenes?
Did you like the Lysandre battle music?
I forgot what question I was going to ask here…
As dija said, it’s East of Santalune. Before entering the gate to Victory Road, go down and surf on the water, then go down the Waterfall, and solve the Strength puzzle. You’ll have Earthquake 😀
I wish they put more story on AZ. We ran into him once, and then the next time we saw him was behind bars. It was a very sad story 🙁 And I was shocked to learn all those stones were tombstones!
The cutscenes were awesome! And yes, Lysandre’s battle music was epic. 2nd best Team Leader theme imo.
They were tombstones? XD I was too amazed by the music and presentation to actually sit down and understand what I was reading!
Yeah! Of all the Pokemon that were killed with the Ultimate Weapon I believe :O One of the pictures showed each Pokemon in the stone! T’was crazy!
I loved the music in victory road…and E4….disliked champion music
I felt like im the only one who liked the champion music :/
maybe I didn’t hear it long enough…I’ll give it more chances…it was more like it contrasted the E4 theme so much that I just couldn’t get into it.
its a really bubbly tune, which fit well with her character. It was not Steven Stone amazing but it was alright
I think it was great music on it’s own…
The elite 4 theme though was outstanding
∞ Jordin ∞ have you gotten to use Slurpuff?
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/685.shtml
Not used it but I have it 😛 You could just say Jordin without the infinity signs, BTW. 🙂
I was using the @ function.. But what do you think of it? :3
Any other Friend codes?

It is time.
Hey…did you catch wind of my latest shiny endeavors? :p
I don’t WANT TO XD
XD
Shiny Dragalge…no big deal or anything! :p
(Still no Amaura after over 500 eggs!)
I’m spending time in Friend Safari so maybe I’ll get lucky.
Hint…look up serebii consecutive fishing!!!
I found a Dragalge in about an hour!
I saw that! By the way, where can we find an item to instantly run away from wild Pokemon?
Wait…the pokedoll?
Or a different object…I didn’t know there an sort of permanent item.
But I made sure to make each pokemon faint during my fishing expedition.
Is that a requirement for consecutive fishing, or can we run away?
I am not sure. The guide is vague.
All I know is that you can’t move…not sure if you are allowed to open a menu or access a pss battle.
I made sure to not move, successful cast the fishing rod, defeat each wild pokemon, and repeat this about 70 times.
Oh, make sure you have an Octillery with suction cups in front of your party! I fainted mine so I could use a different pokemon to OHKO the wild pokemon.
The suction cups ensures you snag a pokemon on the fishing rod…as long as your hit the button on time that is.
OH so if I faint Octillery it’s Suction Cups will still function, as long as it is at the front of the party? YES!
Yep. It’s pretty much a necessity!
I have yet to get the message “no nibble” since using this method.
I know only Surf and Strength are required to get through Victory Road, but do we need Cut, Rock Smash, and/or Waterfall? I want to get all the items haha.
No, they aren’t required, but you will need them to 100% Victory Road. Also, just watched the 4th part of Pokemon Origins. My god.
Cut too? Dammit, I hate Cut. Thank you!
And it’s pretty great, isn’t it? I’d love for them to do a special like that for each Gen.
I don’t think you need cut
Yep. But it’s just for a shortcut..
I guess I’ll just bring Slavinator (Bibarel) with me even though I wanted my full team to journey through Victory Road together =/ I’ll have every HM now. Was hoping we just needed Strength, Rock Smash, and Surf, because then I’d just teach Goodra a couple HMs, then re-learn the moves I had for her lol.
Bibarel is Slavinator? Not Badass? D:
Bibarel is the best HM slave, he’s Slavinator.
But he’s a badass slave!
Well Badass Slavinator is too long!
Then just call him Badass! That’s what I name mine… XD
Hoenn is definite. Would look beautiful. Mewtwo vs. Charizard was hands-down the best battle in Pokemon history.
Ruby vs Steven Stone in anime style :O
I dunno… Maybe Mega Blaziken vs. Metagross could be even more epic. But Mewtwo screaming and roaring like that really made the battle so intense for me, and I don’t know how Metagross can beat that… AND yes I know Metagross roars in the normal *cough* shitty *cough* anime.
But we’d have an anime style of Steven’s Champion theme playing :O
I must admit, they did a good job with Blue’s…… You just blew my mind. KAAAAAAAAABBOOOOOOOMMONJNDKNWNDDNEONDND
They should have made Cut 60 BP 100 ACC Physical Bug Move
I’d like that, it wouldn’t be so bad. Instead it’s 50 BP and Normal type -_-
even tackle is better
We need a Chainsaw Key Item.
rock smash definitely
and waterfall
Thank you too!
I hate carrying HM’s 🙁 Is Cut mandatory?
Nope, only Strength and Surf are necessary I believe. The rest are just to 100% get all the items and stuff.
anyone want to battle?
nvm going to bed

HUURREENN (not confirmed) …
HUUREENN is coming. All dem hints are sooooooooooo obvious, it’s worse than how much they hinted at Johto! XD
“Think of all the Diamonds and Pearls!”
“Let’s finish this season first”
-_-
That’s one of my favorite TRio quotes XD
I still have that movie. Ah…good times that keep on going!
You never know… This is coming from someone that has been wanting R/S/E remakes since Platinum.
Holy crap! Thanks for posting this!
Muk looks like something out of my worst nightmare in this game.
What? She’s pretty cute by Mom standards….
EDIT: Didn’t see Muk, saw mom XD
I CHANGED IT TO MUK OKAY? 😛
Yeah… lol saw that after I refreshed XD I edited it
Dat autocorrect tho
Any one seen Fen?
Nah, he’s probably busy.
I have been busy the past week!
I am going to classes, substitute teaching, working on my thesis, coordinating political forums, and acting as the university prosecutor…my plate is full….I just want to play pokemon!
Dang, best of luck with all of that then! I’m here complaining that I have to work on college applications this whole week. XD Just puts my ‘problems’ into perspective.
OH…I have grad school aps to do as well. :p
I’m a freshman, with homecoming this weekend and a date to account for! The stress is a bit hectic for me 😛
I wish I had those “problems” XD
It’s not so much a “problem” but a…no, actually, it’ll be pretty great.
Freshman? That’s cool man! You’ve got a long but fun journey ahead of you. Homecoming is really fun, but I understand the stress of going the first time. I assure you you’ll have a great time.
Do you know how absolutely stressful it is to have a date for the first time! I practically have a girlfriend! It’s hard to concentrate with that thought.
True.
Teenage love….ugh…
XD
Two things…
1) Bad memories
2) Reminder of being old
You’re not old. You’re… older…
94!
That’s not old, you’re not even in triple digits yet!
I know how stressful it is, I’ve been in that situation before! As cliche as it sounds, just be yourself and leave with no regrets. There are probably a whole variety of scenarios that are going through your head, but just live in the moment. Just trust me. 😉
What’s the wink for? OMFGWTHIDKINMH
Sorry, I had something in my eye. 🙂 Better?
Yeah 😀
Good, lol. But yeah, you’ll have a good time. Coming from a senior, I think I’m pretty credible. If not, I’ll come find you and throw you in a trash can…
I’m six feet tall. Good luck with that.
Wth? 6′ and a freshman? I’m 5′ 11″ and a senior… Dang…
I am 4′ 6″ and 94..
I’ve heard that people shrink as they age, but not that much. Did someone throw you into a dryer as a prank or something?
Yes…I shrunk from old age and I was pruned up after being thrown into the washer and dryer.
Poor you… You’ll end up looking like a raisin in a couple more years.
who? :p
..
lawlfens
Still wanna trade for the Tyranitarite?
I already have the Tyranitarite…I forget who I traded.
What were you looking for?
The Aggronite.
Aw. I completely forgot!
I traded that for a shiny geodude 🙁
It’s official….I am a shiny addict.
Lol! Oh well. I can find one somewhere else. I’ve been shiny hunting myself along with breeding and ev training and school… I forgot about it myself and didn’t remember until I found it a while ago.
Where’s the best place to go for fishing, with the best Pokemon? I’m finding a shiny tonight!
Try calling a horde battle with Sweet Scent. ~Yet to find a shiny~
No, I’m doing consecutive fishing. I hear that it’s pretty much guaranteed.
Explain?
Serebii has a nice guide…basically you need to fish in the same spot again and again…no saving or moving in order to increase shiny encounters.
Ooh…. That sounds easier than radar chaining. These damn Chatots keep messing me up.
It is VERY easy…If I can do…anyone can!
It seriously wasn’t much longer than an hour to find my Dragalge! I love it!
Read the whole guide though!
Like the suction cup octillary thing…who’da thought that would help ensure fish rod snags.
“Says Fen as Defensive hooks an Octillery for the second time.”
Catch it! 🙂
“Says Fen as Defensive catches the third Octillery.”
My favorite entry! “It has a tendency to want to be in holes. It prefers rock crags or pots…”
I tried earlier and I only got 2 battles out of it and then nothing bit so the chain was broken. Do you have any spots that you recommend?
I’m in Cyllage City, where you can get Clawitzer/Dragalge and or Relicanth.
And seadra 🙂
Haven’t seen one of those yet
They have a lower encounter rate…maybe 5-10%?
I would guess with a super rod.
Dragalge 50%
Relicanth 40%
Seadra 10%
Use that puddle to get a Seadra or Dragalge….or relicanth with the super rod.
Also, I am thinking of getting me a Gyrados on route 22.
The puddle on the beach in the town of the 2nd gym…sorry I am not great remembering the specific town names yet!
Cyllage City?
Oh yeah…that one!
I’m there! Oh my bleep I want a shiny Kingdra…
I want to get one of those too.
The whole time I prayed for no Relicanth! XD
…poor guy
Clawitzer would be nice as well.
Oh yeah, you have X!
I am not a fan of Clawitzer…but I would much rather have one of them than a relicanth..it’s so..hideous.
I like shiny Relicanth! It’s blue. BLUE.
I’m chaining at Route 22 for Seaking/Gyrados/Sharpedo. Any corners of water by rocks is good.
Pokemon Origins is surprisingly adult oriented… Even I wasn’t expecting the word “damn” in a Pokemon special… Poor, poor Charmander…
I also noticed bastard at one point…
Yeah… It isn’t Mother 3 cursing, but it is rather adult.. I guess because most of the people who have played Red and Green are in there 20s?
yeah I didn’t get to play the older games till later because I didn’t have a gameboy but I was still heavy into pokemon and turn 20 next week 😛 time flies
I was one of those early 90’s children.
I didn’t offend you, did I?
No! haha.
I miss them times! None of the kids I substitute for get my childhood references though 🙁
Ahh. I would 🙂
WHAT?!! I thought Origins’ English version is only airing in November.
It is, I’m watching the Subbed version.
