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
Anyone up for a battle?
its frost breath better than ice beam now and heatwave better than flamethrower?
no heat wave is the exact same as flamethrower except it hits both pokemon during a double battle and crits only do 1.5 times damage this gen so ice beam is still better.
Frost breath has a power of 60…crit puts it up to 90 and it ignores defence stat boosts…Ice Beam is standard 90 power. however i don’t think Frost Breath has good distribution
Plus it has less PP and some abilities negate crits.
no, they have the same and criticals breaks any boosts and barriers
the fact is critical hit breaks any boosted stat and dual screens and heat wave is 95 while flamethrower is 90 little difference but still
Pretty much yeah.
Good game Star Bits
GG thought you were going to switch back into your trevenant so that’s why I use earthquake instead of hi jump kick.
Ah, right. I was afraid of flare blitz so trevenant stayed far away XD
Sorry for using an uber but my talonflame isn’t EV trained yet.
It’s fine, tiers don’t mean too much
YES! BRAVE NATURED 4 IV JAPANESE HONEDGE!
Talk about generosity lol
just going to masuda this thing.
Good luck, IntimidatingWumple got to 780 eggs and no shiny
ughh ill give up after 500.
Wow, you people have a lot of patience, I don’t even have the patience to breed a Pokemon with more than 3 perfect IVs
I don’t have that patience, in gave up after 70 eggs XD
Ill probably start next week when I have time on my hands.
Man I wish Marowak’s Hidden Ability was Skill Link
Battle Armor only good for stopping Frost Breaths
STAB Bone Rush + 5 Shots + Thick Club + Maximized Attack = Broken
I would say it would go UU. it wouldn’t be able to deal with levitate and flying types though it could run stone miss.
or my preferred Rock Tomb
its become my new favourite with technician breloom.
Damn it! Still can’t finish Serebii’s crossword! >:(
ugh ;-; why are japanese people so pro . i had lost after lost last night Q_Q -corner- i hate when i take forever to make a team and then i end up not making a good one
I know, Half the time Wi-Fi battles consist of Elitist Japanese Kids, And I know they’re Making fun of how easily you lost
yea DX
like i got pretty lucky when i even got to take out at least 1 pokemon .__. they had so much tricks and strategy and stuff. -so pathetic- ;—;
I knows how it feels Bro! ;_; Every Time a FREAKING WASH ROTOM or Ferrothorn!
just you wait until PokeBank and they’ll get back their Latios’
probably with a soul dew.
that devil needs to be banned permanently
actually they would probably have a mega stone.
no they would’t let their “precious” soul dew be unused
i got pwned by a freakin illumise and that big mushroom thing …. WHO USES THOSE TWO?! AND HOW DID THEY GET SO POWERFUL Q__Q I CALL HAX
I once got beaten by a FREAKING FROSLASS HIDING IN THE SNOW
and it barely attack it only sub-protected and let hail kill me off
omfg O__E thats horrible ;-;
i gotta study their plays more and try learning how to get better XD being able to use pokemon that no one likes buutt i did call that those two would be the first one out . 3. and what’d you know, they ended up being an awesome pair. ugh.
Humiliating
These are my “hated Pokemon List”
Porygon-Z

Softboiled
Toxic
SEISMIC TOSS
and Minimize
omfg Q_Q that’s almost exactly what i faced too!
except i was like fff FORGET THIS -spams roost on my pokemon to waste time-
…
you know they’re laughing at you….
I havent lost to a Japanese…
Yet
not to be rude but doubtful
Eh I rarely run into too many japanese, I’ve lost mostly to koreans and americans…
out of a 105 losses, around 50 probably came from PJN, the other 50 was the time when I was a noob at competitive at the beginning lol
I think I battled the only Japanese player who didn’t know what he was doing. He forfeited after I OHKO’d his first two guys
you’re here!
I am!
I’ve been waiting.
Shall we trade? I have a Shroomish and Sneasel for you
Yes please! what about the ghastly?
Oops, I skimmed past that. Yes, I have that for you. Let me just get online. My FC is 3196-3755-8807
Thanks! my fc:3609-2282-7971

Yup.
Thank you so much!
No thank you!
THANKS!
You’re welcome! Enjoy them 🙂
I will 😀
…LOL;
lucky :c theyre so skilled ;-;
True! I’m normally terrified before battling one. I normally just hope I keep it close
same DX i should stop doing battle spot at night and just battle random passerbys or something
I find Passerbys more enjoyable
They sometimes rage
Why do I get shiny pokemon from wonder trade?
OMG WHAT Q_Q what pokemon!?
skrelp.
Are you gonna use it?
Maybe.
YAY! another Japanese ditto!
WOW
3 in 1 day!
@Timo, Do you have any Immunity Gligar with good IVs?
I think I have one with 4IVs
Would you be willing to trade it?
Yes, Can I have a Gale Wings 5IV Fletchling?
Sure 🙂
Is the Gligar female or male?
I have both a male and a female of them, with different 4 IVs
Oh, could you tell me which IVs each of them have?
Ok
Male: 31/31/x/x/31/31
Female: 31/x/31/31/31/31 (Didn’t realise it was a 5IV)
btw the female has Sand veil and the male has Immunity
!!! May I please borrow them to breed my own perfect Gligar? 🙂 I’ll trade them both back afterwards 😀
Yep I don’t mind, btw you can have one for a useless pokemon and one for the Fletchling
Thanks!! ^_^
anyone wann trade a 6iv brave aegislash for my shiny orange flabebe
so I feel that all this Competitive Pokemon is driving me more crazy then usual (and i’m legally insane) and I need a temporary hiatus to recollect my zen
Anyone got a good game to recommend?
Hey Earthen, have you considered instead of using the Mega Stone on Garchomp, to let it hold Bright Powder instead? Combined with the Sand Storm and Sand Veil :O
I’ve thought of it but I count on that Extra Boost sometimes when things look hairy
But i’ll give it a try later
Oh god Brightpowder XD
animal crossing new leaf
I’ve logged 148 hours into it already (and that’s just an estiment)
I understand Earthen

I can see the bluish outlines on the badly cropped out pokedex models
LOL me too XD
Mega Gyrados is reflective
WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?!!
I’m at chat lmao
Oh

IN THE BATHROOM!
NCS references ftw.
When do pokemon “get along very well” in the daycare? I always get “seem to get along” with the same species. Is it random?
No,
Same species, different regions.
Oh right! Thanks
I thought different IDs
Could be xD
Btw whats the EV spread on Robin?
ROBIN LMAO
Robin ;_;
I made a new one last night. :3
It’s IV’s are x/31/31/x/31/31
Just missing HP 😀
It was either that, or no attack IV’s.
Went with attack XD
Max attack, most to HP, the rest to Speed.
Most?
It’s a secret to keep her unique 😉 I will say it’s more than 120 EVs, but less than 140 EVs.
128
Close, but no.
132?
Dammit. I should’ve widened the gap.
LOL
130? XD
Is Robin IV bred?
Basically if you have a poke with same species but different id you’ll get the very well messege
Ok thanks, great for Masuda Methoding then
