Thanks everyone for your wonderful articles. By the time this post goes up, the admission period for round one closes. Everyone who passed should have received their email already. I’ll post all the names below, so everyone can see who makes a chance at getting featured! Now, let’s go on with the details for round two!
What you need to do
For round two, we need a full-fledged article, to be featured in the magazine. It should be about two pages in Word, font size 11 (which is about 900 words). The article should have a rather timeless aspect, that is, it should be readable within two years and still make the same impact. Make sure it is fit for a magazine, so don’t make use of tables or list, or too many sprites. Take care of your grammar and spelling. If you win, we’ll still go sit together and iron all the kinks out, but a cleanly written article makes a much better impression. You can resubmit your article from round one if you think it is substantial enough. Submissions must reach me before January 3rd. I’ll send reminders to everyone if I haven’t got your article before December 27th. Winners (:)) will be announced somewhere around January 12th.
What you can win
In a change of plans, two articles can get featured in the magazine. Both will receive a printed copy of the magazine. If you didn’t win, it’s possible we’ll feature your article on the site in a revisit to a feature we revealed a while ago.. We’ll contact you in the case we want to see it featured. Sadly, there’s no prize coupled to this other than fame.

Wonder Trade is going to be filled with a bunch of shit like this, I’m sure of it
I’m gonna breed me some Makuhita XD
LOL i love it!
better yet, use a Jynx
LOL
time to make a storage box named ‘your mom’ and stock up on burn heals!
let the chaos ensue
I am going to do that!
shiny yanma you will be mine
they are sooo pretty!
i know, yanma with hoothoot and girafarig are my favorite gen2 pokemon
Thats a beautiful one xD good luck or congrats 🙂
havent found it yet, i am in horde shiny hunt looking for it but the lag…
yea that lag sure is a woozy lol ^.^ I was trying for spinda but I’m waiting now since its raining there
I really want a shiny Ludicolo.
Has anyone used a Team Flare bag on Super training yet?
yup, it does nothing xD just looks really cool
ok thanks!
It makes it easier to find training bags
In which town is the IV guy?
Kiloude City
Kiloude, purple hair in the Poke center
Alright thanks.
No problem.
make sure you don’t tell him to see the potential of you, he’ll make you feel bad about yourself
Kiloude City Pokémon Center.
My shiny Politoed has max IVs in Defense 😀 it is also Bold, so it could be very bulky.
The Pokémon I’m Super Training is Lv. 1 and has 5/7/7/7/6. Good? oh and it’s Modest
What Pokemon is it?
A surprise.
Well, for most Pokemon, that’d be good. Especially if it has at least 3 max Ivs.
There is a very good chance it will be Outstanding with at least 3 perfect IVs
does anyone happen to have a shiny tyrunt? o.o ..that might be asking for too much -goes to corner-
If I had one, I’d let you have. I have a Jolly Tyrunt with Dragon Dance, and Ice/Fire Fang, in case you’re interested. BUt, if I get a Shint Tyrunt, or Tyrantrum, I’ll let you know.
;U; thanks!
That seems a bit vague Ziia-Kun. Do you want the Tyrunt, or are you thanking me for letting you know about a shiny one if i obtain it?
Okay, so I have a 31/31/31/x/31/31 Superpower, Aqua Jet, Belly Drum Marill in case anyone’s interested. I have one with 31 HP, so the 5 IV one doesn’t really matter to me, so I’d be willing to trade it.
What would you like in return?
What do you have to offer? I’m pretty open to most things.
Lemme check my PC.
Take your time :3
I have a Timid Eevee with perfect HP, Defense, Special Attack and Speed?
Or a Jolly Shroomish with Bullet Seed and perfect HP, Attack, Special Defense, and Speed?
I’ll take the Shroomish. My name is Fenrir in game and my FC is 3926-5715-7315
Cool 🙂 My FC is 4441-8622-5952. Just gotta delete someone to add you, so gonna check the Friend Safaris real quick to see what I have multiples of xD
Don’t delete me please :p
Of course not Skiddo 😛
You wouldn’t delete this Xatu of shiny descent…
Absolutely not xD
Okay, take your time. And I have a Rock Safari with Shuckle, Pupitar, and Dwebble, so I’ll have no problem if you delete meh after the trade.
Okey dokes, added you and online now 😀
I’ll be right on.
Sent le request
Thank you 😀 Just check the Shroomish to make sure. OCD, I checked it about 5 times before trading it to make sure I had the IVs right xD
Sure. Thanks for the trade. And i couldn’t help but notice, what’s with the box filled with green pokemon that i saw?
I’m hunting for a Shiny Chespin with Bulletproof. I just wish I had a female Japanese Chespin with Bulletproof so it’d be a better chance of passing down the ability. I’m currently breeding a perfect IV male Bulletproof Chespin with a Japanese Ditto.
If I could help, I would. If i find one for you, I’ll let you know.
And, do any of those Chespin have max Ivs and a Brave Nature? Or near max Ivs
Thanks for letting me know if you do 🙂
These are Impish Chespins, and I honestly haven’t checked the IVs on them, have bred over 700 xD I just get them and Deposit them. But once I find it, I’ll start going through the IVs of the Chespins and if I come across any that many IVs passed down, I’ll let you know!
Thanks, I’ve been looking for a Brave Chespin with decent Ivs for a while, so I’ll wait as long as I need to.
If you see regidudeam, he’s the one who traded me the perfect Chespin 😀 Maybe he has some with good IVs left over.
Okay, thanks for letting me know!
No problem 🙂
What is Shiftry’s best physical move?
Sucker Punch for Dark, and Grass, Seed Bomb. I don’t think it gets wood hammer.
hmm, thanks, thought of a really cool strategy with him and needed to know what his best physical move was
No problem, Glad to help.
another bulky pokemon for your team?
Not exactly, but it’s definitely not a straightforward sweeper
oh, let me guess leechseed stally pokemon?
Nah, too generic
we need a rematch after you finish training him now i am curious about your strategy lol
I’m thinking I’m either going to replace Meowstic with him (cause Meowstic has been generally useless for my team) or start an entirely new team for him (will probably end up being double-based)
I was looking through the Friend Safari list.
Saw Conor had a Dusclops.
Realized that I REALLY want a shiny Dusclops.
Schedules next hunt.
He’s blood red
And shiny Dusknoir is not bad either, I would use it on my team if I find one.
dusknoir is great bulky pokemon, will o wisp + elemental punches but people prefer eviolite dusclops
Where do you get the Eviolite?
Shalour I think
does somebody have a hydration smoochum?
Is anyone on the forum?
I am but i haven’t read anything since i’m still compilling all the ideas onto a spread sheet.
Ok, its so empty over there 🙁
I know, we need more stuff like polls to increase hype again :3
Yeah I submitted a starter design, we just need to get enought designs to have a vote
Awesome, i’ll add that to the spread as soon as i get the main pokemon done.
Ok 🙂
ok, so that Pokémon I mentioned below, it’s now 5/7/7/7/7. Very good?
Yes. Any Pokemon with 7s or 8s at level one in its base stage is very good. it is a baby, or first, or only stage Pokemon, right?
ya, it’s one of those :3
OKay, well then it’s quite good.
not even fully Super Trained yet :p
Very powerful
If you wanna check its true IVs, I can help. I know you wanna keep its secrecy though
I’ll probably use my sibling’s 3DS. but could you teach me how to use an IV Calculator so I can check?
The most updated IV calculator will probably be Serebii’s:
http://www.serebii.net/games/iv-calcxy.shtml
You’ll want to enter an online battle with someone so that Pokemon is raised to 50, and then just enter the name of the Pokemon, the level at 50, and the nature. Then, enter its six different stats, and the calculator will narrow it down for you.
Thank you so much! 😀
You’re welcome!
It said there’s an error because the speed is too high :/
Did you put in the right nature? That could throw the scale off
Ya, I did :p
.-.
If it’s a Gen 1-5 Pokemon, try using Marriland’s IV calculator:
http://www.marriland.com/tools/iv-calculator
Same scenario, but see if it gives you a different result
No, it’s Gen VI
Hmmm, then I’m not sure. I’ve had that happen when the stat wasn’t in the right range, but I normally would accidentally type the wrong number though
Maybe it’s too powerful O_O
Always possible! I do have the Instacheck available where I can automatically see the IVs of a Pokemon, regardless of level, when it’s shown in a trade. That would require me to see it though
who wants to battle
I’m up for a battle if you’d like.
i send you the invitation
Alright. I’m ready when you are.
Oops, send the invatation again, i forgot to shut game chat off, and it denied the request.
Good Luck Carbinkle!
Good Game Carbinkle.
good game jiro:D
Listening to the Jubilife City remix in Snowbelle while doing Amie with my new best friend, shiny Pelipper. This is the life.
Where do they play this song in the game? I remember it, I just can’t remember where and I want to hear it again to tip the person $1000 more! XD

Coumarine City, southwest of the Pokemon Center.
THANK YOU!!
Enjoy 😉

@disqus_0yhh9bkWFP:disqus TALK TO ME
Hello
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT_ZpHgiIKo
Enjoy your nightmares! 😀
(Refresh for video)
I’m too busy chillin’
But you gotta listen to it. .-.
TOO BUSY http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=Hjfush-9zhM
But it’s lovely
O_O
does this team seem like it would work well?
Shiftry
Clawitzer
Aromatisse
Gothitelle
Seviper
Mega Pinsir
interesting team but dont you think you have many monotypes
It seems very well balanced, defensively. I don’t know much about each Pokemon’s move pool, so that may hold you back as a whole if they aren’t diverse to cover different typings.
I think pinsir and clawitzer are ok. I am not a fan of the others. But let’s see how you use them. You must have a strategy
good game @64312e9f93245406250195af8fc212ca:disqus 🙂
It was. I didn’t expect that set on your lead.
klefki? he always save my team from disasters lol your braviary caught me by surprise though
What does it know?
Shadow Claw, Aerial Ace, Rock Slide and Defog.
That was meant for Carbinkle XD but good to know! 😀
oH wOOPS
about Klefki, that is
reflect,light screen, toxic and play rough for killing dragons
it’s a defensively poisonous dragon killer
Sounds very dangerous
i know, wish he had recover though
i love my trevenant, he killed a pokemon without even touch it
83 pokemon on the list so far .-.
What list
Which pokemon do you think its going to OU? my guess is trevenant, aegislash, and klefki
Definately Talonflame. And I think that with access to Icicle Crash, weavile will rise up, along with Flareon now that it has Flare Blitz. I also think that entei has a chance of making it to OU with acess to Sacred Fire.
who knows with talonflame with stealth rock but with his ability i may see him in ou
Yeah, Gale Wings Talonflame has enough bulk to use Priority Roost as soon as it comes out to recover from Rocks damage, as long as there is no rock moves on the opposing Pokemon.
What pokemon do you think deserved mega evolutions?
Lapras and Machamp
Arcanine for one, and I think Golurk, or any gen 5 Pokemon for that matter, deserved one.
Yeah gen 5 got no love.
Tropius by far good design but bad stats
Good point
i have always said that megaevolutions are for pokemon who design wise doesnt need a evolution but stats wise they need one
Sceptile and Swampert.
For Hurrnn
Togekiss should have one. All starters and all legendaries. Electivire and magmortar
No many things in generation 5
Druggion
Excadrill
Excalibur
Starters
Zestrika
Haxorus
Conkelbur
Scoliopede
Krookodile
Darmanitan
Beartic
Confagris
etc.
So o those are good. Some I don’t know. Like cofagrigus and excavalier
Gallade
So out of a group of random eggs I’ve collected from the daycare… A group from which I’ve bred… I’ve gotten Dedenne, Honedge, Phantump, a Klefki, and… A Trubbish… How I have a trubbish I don’t know.
…….Did you BREED a Trubbish/Garbodor?
I haven’t seen a either in the wild. And I have NEVER bred them. What’s even more surprising is that it’s Adamant with perfect defense ivs.
O_O
And has sticky hold which means weak armor.
Breeding can be so torturous… until you get a batch of Gastly that has one with 6 perfect IVs and one with 5 perfect IVs, only missing Attack. So satisfying
That’s the fun part when you find out you are done. And have the stats you want
Got that right. One was a male and one was a female too. Now I can use them to mass breed great IV Gastly for my giveaway!
Awesome! The worst part is getting the perfect ivs but finding out you don’t have the ability you want
That happened with my Froakie -_- One of the most frustrating feelings ever. Luckily the next batch had another perfect one with Protean
I am planning on getting pokemon x some time and the team I want to use is:
Venusaur
Greninja
Noivern
Goodra
Pyroar
Aegislash
All hidden abilities but it is going to be ridiculous because I went them to have the new ot so I have to send eggs over. When I do finding out they don’t have their hidden abilities is going to be a pain
What you could do with that is, before the eggs hatch in your Y version, save the game. Hatch the eggs, and if it’s the one you want, turn off the game so it doesn’t save you hatching the egg. That way you’ll know if it’s a good egg or not. I don’t believe the game will switch up the values of the egg if you just reset it
Oh good idea. I thought it would affect it though
That’s the thing. I’m not entirely sure. I don’t think it would because every egg seems to have a set value, but it doesn’t hurt to try
