A quick reminder that you have until Sunday 24th to send in your PJM applications! Go >>>>>>>>>HERE<<<<<<<<< and start emailing right away!

And if you email me before Saturday 23rd, you’ll receive not only one but two replies! (shipping costs not included)
In other news, we’ve been testing out some tournament software, and applications will be put out rather soon. We just need to find a good date. Stay tuned!
And in other, other news, there’s been not much of news! So, we would like to hear what you’ve been up to. Got any ideas for articles you’d like to see? Cool battles you’ve won in XY? Tell us in the comments! (note: bragging about shinies is a bannable offense until Dae catches a shiny himself. everyone who violates this rule will see him permabanned until he catches one. sarcasm is not a bannable offense whatsoever)

Nostalgia rush? CALL THE POPO HE GOT DRUGS
I am surprised how many people love Hoenn
Meh, I’m not a big fan of it. I’d like remakes of it, but it doesn’t have anything special in my opinion. *FLAME SHIELD UP*
I will never speak to you again.
Things must be lost for stating an opinion. That is fact.
Deep.
I do love Hoenn, but it doesn’t have anything special about it to me. For your guys Hoenn is my Johto…
My hoenn is sinnoh.
I’m not a big fan of Sinnoh…
Bisharp used Brick Break!
King’s Shield harshly lowered its Attack!
Bisharp’s Defiant raised it’s attack!
Sacred Sword, baby.
But archeops cant use sacred sword?
Then I use Earthquake.
THE SHEILD IS DOWN ATTACK
Hoenn’s the best region, hands down!
I agree
Agreed.
Yep
Yeah I’m Sinnoh FTW
I did not like sinnoh…
Its not the game itselfI liked, its the music. It was my first game and its so nostalgic now. :’)
Sinnoh the best region by far, the music in Sinnoh is amazing
Gen III wasn’t my favourite at all
I think for Hoenn, it’s was the vast quantity of water that I didn’t like (don’t think I used a lot of repels)
Hopefully if they make remakes, I’ll like it more (already got a team planned out in my head)
What is the team?
Blaziken
Gardevoir
Ludicolo
Flygon
Aggron
Dunno about the last slot, has to be from gen III, maybe Glalie, Manectric or
or Swalot 😛
Hmmmm, never used Swalot, it’s now a candidate
Lol have all cool polemon then swalot…
just got a Solrock on Wonder Trade called “I’m a star”
I got a fletchling that is named… sukmydeek
I got a Fletchling called “Gros caca.”
Jut got a bidoof named Doof.
I I named my Snorunt Mr.Seizure because of the animation.
Am I the only one here who thinks hugh’s theme is the best ever in the world hands down?
Colress is saying hello.
I never liked his theme for some reason.
wassup
I think he one of the best yes
Too bad it was wasted Hugh was a bad rival in my opinion
I thought he was the best rival, but that might be the music working through me.
Hugh is one of the reasons I love B2/W2. :p
He just didn’t battle you enough he only battled you three times before the story was over
He did? Huh.. Still one of my favorites.
that I did hate. I listed to the music for like 10 mins before I moved due to lack of battle. MOAR HUGH.
i can describe his personality with 4 words, give me the purrloin…
just go catch another one!
I know right the girl obviously for got she probably 2 at the time it was stolen so she would of forgot
the funny thing is you could get them in the route right next to the city you start in.
Diantha says hello.
2nd best.
greetings
Hate that ho.
cynthia says hi
hai
May/Brendan says hi
hello
Hoenn Gym Leader.
Agreed.
YES MY LITERAL FAVORITE POKEMON MUSIC OF ALL TIME
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak1O50TTF_0
I still want those fucking remakes. With X and Y’s beautiful water… *drools*
Not to mention how great diving would look! XD
*explodes*
You are me cry from my childhood :*)
Hoenn Bike
Littleroot
Slateport
EVERY HOENN TRACK
They’re all so upbeat
Don’t forget the trumpets!
*hoeen trumpets blare*
I love everything down to the core
Team Flare(Lysandre)’s theme is the best IMO
I love the beginning of Lysandre.
Why does every passerby feel the need to use legendaries? AND suck at using them?
Should I save the video?
No, we’ve seen plenty of battles like these that its not even funny anymore…
I battled someone who used a good team, and he nearly beat me, but then I made that awesome comback and he fled when it 2v2.
Passerby team: Mewtwo, Xerneas or Yvetal, Zygarde, Speed Boost Blaziken, Starter, other X/Y Legendary or filler spot
You just explained who I just battled… (Speed Boost) Blaziken (Mega), Lucario, Lapras, Delphox, Xerneas, and some other Pokemon.
Ah, that’s right. The Lucario you get for free. Forgot about him. It’s like they all got together and said “Let’s all use the same 3 to 4 Pokemon ALWAYS. Legendaries 4 Lyfe!”
Well I usually change my team after I get kinda bored or lose loads of times with it :/
Well, it’s different with people like us, who actually have competitive Pokemon. I’m just referring to your average Passerby that thinks having Legendaries will make them win automatically
i battle a passerby once and first i ohko all of his pokemon then he ask a rematch and all of his pokemon were lv 100 and mine were 50 and i forfeited and he still asked to battle again with the same rules… annoying
My Togekiss laughs at SB Blaziken, Lucario, Zygarde, Yveltal & Charizard X
I would do anything to be in 2005 again
I wouldn’t. NO X AND Y!
That was the year i got emerald
LOL
Btw do you think my new Scizor works well?
I forgot how it went…
Lol
Guys sorry for not saying GG earlier 😛 I had to do some work
When Acquaintances don’t stop bothering you to trade or battle with them… UGH!
Delete them.
First thing I did after they challenged me for the 3rd time 🙂
Did anyone else have 2 friends that played pokemon and everyone chose different starters and use different pokemon?
No, I had a cousin who I rarely got in contact with and that’s it… But now its different 😛
This was b4 my bro was born though
I did i remember them, Me Tyree, and Ashley, we are still friends and we still play pokemon
Heh cool
Me, my friend, and my bro. ALWAYS. and we don’t work it out that way, we just pick our fav.
We always choose something different
Region 1 and 4 Ashley had first dibs then Tyree then me
Region 2 and 5 Tyree had first dibs then Me then ashley
Region 3 and 6 I had first dibs then Ashley then Tyree
We always got along
Gen 1: F-Bulba B-Squirtle M-Charmander
And so on.
F B M?
Friend Bro Me
Oh for me (A=Ashley, T= Tyree M=Me)
1. A-Fire, T-Grass, M-Water
2. A-Grass, T-Water, M-Fire
3. A-Water, T-Fire, M-Grass
4. A-Water, T-Grass, M-Fire
5. A-Grass, T-Fire, M-Water
6. A-Fire, T-Water, M-Grass
Hey Jordin, Arceops, and Regidudem, sorry about the multi battle last night, my internet went out 🙁
Oh, it’s okay.;)
I felt bad for not being able to tell you, but I couldn’t get on poke jungle
I HATE when mine does that. It makes me look weak.
Lol Ikr
It’s okay 🙂 I had to go. It was 1 AM and my parents told me that I HAD to go to sleep. Sorry I left without notice!
who has a japanese ditto or pawniard i want to masuda method a shiny pawniard:)
Is everyone using their regular competitive team for the tournament?
I’m using Robin.
Obviously
You don’t say?
I’d planned on it.
The one I’m building yes.
I have my six core guys right now, but I may switch one out
Tournament?
The Pokéjungle tournament
WHEN DID SOMEONE TELL ME THIS.
A few seconds ago?
-_-
Kinda-ish. Not gonna use Dedenne. Might use a Goodra, although I wish I had a shiny Goomy. 🙁
i thinking of making some switching especially malamar
Do we know whether the tournament is doubles or singles?
I don’t think we’ve been told yet, but it seems to me like the majority voted singles
Good, I still need to raise a couple pokes, but I’m almost done :
I’m nowhere near done :/
Yeah I’m having trouble choosing what mega evolution to choose :/
Oh, I meant the raising part. I only have 3 of them, 1’s Super Trained, and I’m finishing #2 right now. :/
The Bug megas are promising
Yeah Pinsir’s mega looks awesome, I just need to beat X to use it 😛
Don’t worry about looks, Pinsir’s QUICK ATTACK once defeated me :/
Yeah I know even though its only 40 bp, priority stab and boosted make it basically like a flying extreme speed XD
Yup!
Building a secret team specifically for the tournament MWHAHAHA !
Me too! :O
Nurse Joy 1-6?
I probably will but I have no idea what it is so…
Toge hits harder than I expected
You better believe it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oqhsQnDkdw
I need help with a competitive team. I’ve never been too into competitive battling, and I’m 110 percent sure that when I go into the tournament with my shitty team I’m gonna get OHKO raped by any of my opponents. 🙁
Exactly. I’m just trying to figure it out on my own :p
Same :/
Glad we feel the same.
Pretty much describes how my team feels right now.
🙁
I’m over confident due to IV breeding.
Think of a team and test it on Pokemon Showdown to see how it’s gonna work. That’s what I did.
Problems I have with this:
Having to find the EXACT Pokemon with the EXACT moveset with the EXACT nature. TIMES SIX.
Yeah it took me a while but it’s worth it considering I already have most things already
What is Pokemon Showdown?
You can make pokemon teams and battle them online against others. It’s mostly used for planning out competitive teams.
Pizza and an oreo shake.
The very definition of lunch.
Ooh
Quote of the day by Ithsme.
(claps)
Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all night!
And I’ll be applauding you all day.
Well due this all at noon!
Does anyone here use abomasnow mega?
For my in-game team yes.
I do.
GG Btw
yeah GG you’re a good battler.
You could, if you want a snow team i guess?
i cant believe they give him snow warning as its megaevo ability
No it may be stupid but its like a reboot of the ability if you waste 5 turns on the field with obamasnow
still, snow cloak or ice body would have been better after all hail teams arent great
Too Frail IMO
with snow cloak he wil have higher evasion and never fail blizzard
Same with MegaTTar should of gave him Sand Force
What I’m Super Training right now gives me 281 points when the ball makes it into the goal O.o
Gible gives up to 550.
Pause approximately at 3:22/3:23. Coincidence?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTzflZsEM_M
:O WOW :O
Close enough lol
He should get money for that.
I was just looking at that the other day… I love that region
and the fact their titled 6th gen pokemon…. WHEWWW child nintendo could have a lawsuit on their hands lol
Wait… 2011 videoo predicts gen 6 pokemon. Before Black/White 2. Wat.
pause at 221 also has a fire lion – coughcoughpyroarcoughcough
do I except the flashing egg from the random passerby…NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wat?
A random passerby asked me to trade and offered an egg I immediately cancelled just in case.
Oh, Good
“Masuda Method lowers the chances of hatching a shiny Pokémon from 1 in 8,192, to 1 in 2,048 cutting it by 75% in Generation IV. However, in Generation V, it is boosted even further from 1 in 8,192 to 1 in 1,365.3. Generation VI has increased the likelihood even further, with the rate being reduced even further.” – Serebii
looks like I was right about the 1/640 chance then!!!
YES, i am masuda method right now so i hope you are right
yep we are right. If we weren’t, I wouldn’t of gotten a modest shiny litwick after 24 eggs just a moment ago
http://s9.postimg.org/cm3ob79yn/photo.jpg
;-; and then im here with 6 boxes of carbinks
But where is my shiny noibat with 780 eggs?
so beautiful… i am in 10 egg right now just 14 more lol
Where does it say anything about 1/640 chance? That’s highly unlikely.
What I want to know is if the Illuminate Ability + Encounter O Power increases the shiny chances in the Friend Safari. That’s what I want to know.
Doesn’t work for anyone. So far.
i dont think so because i was shiny hunting with a watchog and no shinies for me
someone on serebii forums posted that the chances were
1/4000+ normal wild
1/2000+ friend safari
1/640+ masuda
i dont have a link but it was a study someone conducted, but here is the link to serebii’s post where he said gen 6 is even further http://www.serebii.net/games/shiny.shtml
Chain fishing is even lower
So ~1/800 for hordes?
seems plausible, seeing that someone here found 3 shiny trevenants solely from hordes.
I’ve hatched so many eggs 🙁
Sorry for the noob question, but how do I Masuda Method EXACTLY?
(God, I am turning into one of my professors….)
Two pokemon from different countries
people say use a japanese ditto with pokemon of your language, but I like to think outside the box.
japanese ditto, german chandelure on an english game, took me 24 eggs for a litwick shiny.
do you always use 2 pokemon from different countries?
yep i always use 2 different pokes from 2 diff countries. i have a whole box& a half full of foreign pokemon – german/spanish/japs, u name it i got it lol – GTS is the way to go!!
http://s8.postimg.org/8qnvpbytx/photo_2.jpg
a japanese shuckle got in wt with a ditto i caught works right?
