News is crawling by slower than a three-toed sloth. I guess you can’t really promote new games when you still want to sell the old ones :). Bring on the spin-offs in January, please.
Anyway, today’s about a major feature of Pokémon: connectivity. Even more than 15 years ago, Pokémon was designed to bring people together to let them trade and battle. Nowadays, with the internet having gained solid ground, staying connected is easier than ever. With the PSS in Pokémon XY, battling is as simple as pushing one button. This leads me to my question: how connected are you? How many friends have you got in your friends list. How many times do you battle and trade everyday? Do you talk a lot about your battles with your friends in online chat, or even at the playground? And who’s considered the best local battler of his friend group/family?
It’s hard to make up news, and we don’t have coverage that is coming to a close that actually gets delayed and trickled to pretend there’s still news, so if you have any ideas, hit us up in the comments. Maybe I should try to write my own Pokéology, seeing as we have no clue what Mechanos is up to. You can comment in the meantime below this article, but everyone who spams too much will be put on the ‘spamlist of shame’ for everyone to see. Happy commenting!

Spamlist of shame
Can someone give me hatching power?
I can’t at the moment I don’t have enough energy. What are you breeding?
Vulpix
Drought?
Yes
Good game Timo, I gotta go after the battle but i’ll probably battle later
Last pokemon was a troll XD
Did people like my PR Video?
Best spread for a Careful Shiny Umbreon?
The comments are messed up again :/
Can people look at my PR Video, tell me what you think?

Irs good
Thanks!
How do you guys pronounce kyogre. I pronounce it differently than everybody I think. I pronounce it… Key-Ah-gra
Kai-ogre for me
Kai-Oh-Gur
Yeah I have heard that a lot. But I like it the way I pronounce it. I pronounce a lot of pokemon different. How about rayquaza. Ray/quad(no d)/za
I pronounce Rayquaza like that too
Ok good! I can’t think of any others right now
Gliscor? I pronounce it like Gli(de)-Scor(e)
G/lis/or. Sometimes either or
That’s how the anime pronounces it too, iirc. Although it seems to come from sciscor.
Hm, But Score fits its name imo
As long as you pronounce Regigigas as Rejigigas 🙂
Reji-gig(antic)-as(s)
Kyogre – Kai-oh-gur (have heard kai-oh-gruh)
Groudon – Grou-don (have heard grew-don before)
Rayquaza – Ray-quay-za (I still pronounce it Ray-qua-za)
These three pokemon have the most varied pronunciations I have heard
Suicune comes close though.
Arceus- People pronounce it Ar-see-us
I hate that one. Are/k/us
I still pronounce it Ar-see-us. It rolls of the tongue better than Ar-kee-us
Wait it’s ar/see/us or ar/kee/us? I say ar/Kay/us
Ah-kee-us
I believe Ar-kee-us is the correct pronunciation…as far as I am aware
How about scizor? I say scissor sometimes and scissor(no ssor) zor
Siz-or I think is the correct way. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if I heard skiz-or somewhere…
That would annoy me like skeptile. Seriously the word is scepter. Septer not skepter
I pronounce it See-Zor
And dialga? I say. Dye/ol/ga
I used to say dee-al-gah, but Dye-al-gah sounds better to me
There are so many
Cobalion:
Co-bail-eon
It’s like cobalt. Co-ball-eon. How about the other two. Vir-izy-on. And ter-rak-eon
It’s Co-BAIL-Eon. Emphasis on the BAIL.
LOL
Why? His name is based on cobalt the element
That’s what they said in Keldeo and the Swords of Justice.
That’s why the anime isn’t that great. Sometimes or most of the time pokemon names are based on real things
Virizion
Vee-ree-zeon
Vee-rye-zeon
Vee-RYE-Zeon
Yeah I was thinking that that verizon
LOL
Yep…I remember watching this video on YouTube, 50 mispronounced pokemon names, or something like that…
Lol
You can’t really watch a video because those people could be mis pronouncing them and many people pronounce them different ways
Yeh, I know….it was basically a guy listing Pokemon names that he commonly mispronounces. It’s just a way of seeing how other people pronunciation compares to yours. Best way to get the official pronunciation is from the anime/movies
I pronounce it Dee-al-gah… Sounds more complex thus sounding more powerful
I am pretty sure die is a strong word
Riiight 😛
Timo I need your friend code!
No you dont 😛 I have you!
do you? what’s your ign?
Are you online?
What about Vespiquen? I’ve heard Vesp-I-Kween, Ves-Pi-Kwen, and a couple others.
same here.
I say vesp-i-queen. The show is dumb she is a bee queen
They pronounce everything right in the show. It’m made by the Pokemon Company!
I pronounce it ki-oge-er
And is it Ro-Tom, or Ra-Tom, or Ra-Tim or Ro-Tim. I’ve never been quite sure.
Rotom
Who pronounces that differently
Ro-tum
I pronounce it Ro-Tom
Keye-oh-ger
Sceptile? I used to pronounce it Skep-tile when I was 6/7
Now I pronounce it Scep-tile
Togepi was Tegepi, one syllable. That was when I just read the books.
Wait how do you say that with one syllable.
Just super quick, I guess two syllables. And not Toe-ga-pi, it was ta-gepi
Tog(e)pi
Togpi would be two syllables
Oh right 😛
Whatever, just say it quick.
Haha. Ok then.
Yeah, I personally think its cuter that way, but that was when I just read the books based on the anime.
Have you ever tried making the sound togepi makes in the show?
Yeah, when I was littler my and my bro had contests judged by my sister. Togepi is her favorite pokemon, just like me.
Woah-buh-fet vs wah-buh-fet. I say wah-buh-fet
Wah-bu-fet for me!
When you think about it, isn’t EV training in HP essentially training in both defenses?
No, A low defense means HP is quite pointless
I know, just thinking out loud, but if you have more HP then its harder to take you down.
I’d say 252 HP means 10% of both defences
Well it indeed adds to bulk, but hp is nothing with low defense/sp.def and vice versa.
I wouldn’t say vice versa. If you have shuckle with insane defenses you don’t need hp to survive
anyone up for a multi battle?
me but my Wi-Fi is down
NOOOOO 🙁
When I get it back I’ll do what rocket claucher did, but AZ will be holding a Wi-Fi router.
I’m just gonna wait here till john hocker is on, cuz he and I have 4 trades to do, and I can only go to the library once today, so I should make it worth it.
that’s what im doing.
Hmm, yours down too?
Yeah but im at my grandmothers at the moment so I can go online.
For some reason my grandma’s house’s Wi-Fi never connects with my 3ds.
Ok guys I am getting off. The pronunciation was fun. I am totally going to bring this up later on the chat
ok anyone up for a 3 on 3 then?
I wanta so bad. Sry, I probably make you excited thinking someone wants to.
Yes you do :,(
Is the three on three a single battle? then sure.
ok what’s your fc? mine is 3609-2282-7971
mine is 0430-8585-9856
ok
I’m ready.
me too.
Gg
GG
there ya go.
So guys! Do you have any In-Real-Life friends/family that play a lot of pokemon?
My best friend and little bro are the best examples I can give lol… And I can only play with my bro since my friend doesnt own a 3ds :'(
morning everyone!
Hello! Wanna battle?
who know it!
LOL OK lets Grumble
Good night!
Good Night!
sleep tight…
I’m not going to sleep yet.
Ok so who hates my combination of pokemon, I know that Chandelure does since I beat him hella load of times yesterday
i’ll need a refresher
LOL
Time to meet my latest edition!
Ok… *addition
LOL
Its quite strong i’d say
yeah…she did better last couple of matches
…
she took out a m. venusuar
LOL… Guess thats good
Arent you stuck in a corner :O
u keep switching out
LOL So do you
not as much
Um only 3 switches for both of us 😛
Wouldn’t say I hate them, you just use them very well. Gliscor was annoying but didn’t seem like max defence to me…
Obviously 😛
If it was, I would have definitely lost…
but I now have the Pokemon that completely walls it, and can phase it out…one guess what it is 🙂
I will say this, I need to get my Gliscor back in the game
B/c this is the billionth time I’ve lost against a Toxistall Gliscor
lol
Does anyone know another move I can put on my Goodra? It is a special attacker and big defender. It knows Sludge Bomb, Flamethrower, Dragon Pulse, and Iron Tail. Looking to change Iron Tail.
Acid Armor
Egg move :/
sooooo
I can’t get itttttt
breed a goomy with a skrelp
I offered him one already, but apparently he didn’t want it.
No I really don’t want it because mine has 5 IVs
Some of mine have near that. I think four to five as well.
I have X…
I bred multiple Goomys with Acid Armor and Gooey if you want one.
I’m good 🙂
Alright then.
Muddy Water or Ice Beam then give it Assault Vest
Lol, that’s my Jellybelly’s moveset (other than iron tail(December))
Is JellyBelly a Reuniclus?
Nah, hes a goodra
What’s your ingame name?
Screw it I’ll put Substitute, Protect, or Muddy Water on it.
Muddy Water if anything
You should ask @Disqus_H_i_T_h_e_r_e:disqus for an avatar. It makes it look better.
I kept trying to add one, but I got error messages…
So did I. I don’t remember what I did, though…
That tears it i’m switching back Dragon Claw
Sigh…I humbly yet angrily accept defeat Timo
GG
ShinyLicky, can I have your FC?
1220-6355-3904
welp, ive hatched 683 eggs, still no shiny (the odds are 1/683, so I should have hatched one..)
Poke?
Amaura ;-;
Isthme, What’s your ingame name?
I could have sworn it was still in the thousandth…
http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/60943/t1927027-masuda-method-random-shiny-rate/
Wow. I guess the odds are better, but still just as hard…
Is it too early to start breeding my January Team? I haven’t used my December Team yet, but that’s cuz of my Wi-Fi. Most of the pokemon on my January Team, I’m getting in trades with like 3 IVs to start me off, but the one pokemon I must start from scratch is gogoat.
Isthme, what’s you ingame name?
Gengar pls….
What?
The Gengar you promised me….
Yeah, I sent you a messae yesterday, i forgot and can get it next week. WHAT level did you want?
65
Okay.
Bai everyone…. Gotta go to bed
bai
So Earthen? How do you like the power of a real Gliscor?
GG btw
This wouldn’t be the first time I was Toxistalled by a Gliscor and had no means of countering it…
I try not using cheap strategies but i feel it’s a lost cause trying to fight my battles my way
You should get a Skarmory
Then again… Gardevoir and Blaziken will have a good time eating roasted steel bird
Yeah I need to learn how to expand my Type Horizon
But Skarmorys are weak in my opinion
Pfft, my new scizor laughs in your gliscor’s face
And then my Camerupt will melt its face
XD the only thing bad about scizor. The 4x weakness to fire
Fire fang
0_0 are you gonna teach it fire fang?
LOL I agree…
Can’t a Gliscor learn Fire Fang?
yeah but they not as strong
Lol, my standard CB scizor dealt with it pretty well yesterday as well
I guess scizor is a good gliscor counter in general, immune to toxic and has good defense to tank earthquake
It is still a 3KO, and without any method of recovery…it is not the best solution. Something like Skarmory or Levitate Bronzong completely wall it though…And Skarmory can Roar/Whirlwind it out
Froslass laughs at your gliscor
Ummmm, You havent seen it yet…
battle?
Ok
good game, thats how you use a gliscor deadly;)
Multi battle anyone?
sure just let me gather my team
ok 2 more people!
I’m in
1 more person!
