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
I’m trouble deciding how to SuperTrain my new Poison Heal Gliscor
should I maximize its Sp def and Speed, or Max Sp def and do a combo of HP def and speed?
With my old Poison heal Gliscor, i did max attack and def, dumb as it was, it worked
I’d maximize the HP and Def.
hmm I’m worried that a speedy Ice Beam would 1HKO me before I did the annoying Stalling
Then try something like 252 Sp.def 200 HP, 56 def. That’s what i’d use
I never understood those numbers
Max Spd and Hp then the rest in def
that too. they work for some people
Depends on the rest of your team, I very much doubt a Gliscor will live an Ice Beam even with max special defence…especially since anything carrying ice beam will most likely have stab, or high special attack. In such situations where you suspect an Ice Beam (or any super effective special attack, i.e. surf, hydro pump), safest bet is to switch into something that can take it…
whats the best item for this set for shiftry?
Rock Slide, Leaf Storm, Power Swap, Swagger
Life orb
I think white herb/ Life orb/leftovers/ king’s rock, or shed shell would do. if ou have a shed shell
what’s shed shell do again?
nvm
When my Spritzee sparkles in battle I can’t help but to smile. =)
The Spritzee line is awesome (⌐■_■)
they should’ve one a Flamingo or one of them plague doctor dealies

Anyjuan want to battle?
Anyjuan?
Just a funneh weh tuh seh Anyone>
I can battle
AWESOME!! What’s your IGN, i think i have you/
Raiker, but let me finish this trainer battle
Okay, I’ll wait
I’m ready
GG
Yeah it was. Dat Focus Blast tho. I thought you’d switch and make me waste a Sucker Punch, i didn’t think you’d attack. GG
So, allow me to re-ask muh question. Since i’ve seen people deciding on mothly teams, what do you guys think of anime themed teams? I was think Team Naruto/Bleach/Fairy Tail and Dragon Ball
Sound like a good idea to me!
awesome! Do you have any recommendations for Team Naruto? Or any of the four
Maybe Arcanine? He reminds me of Naruto.
I’m not fond of Naruto himself, so i won’t get a naruto, but arcanine fits for kiba or akamaru
NEVERMIND HI
Im sorry, wat?
Oh, that was my thing. The monthly teams.
You are great inspiration
Hello everyone :3
YO!
hai
hey dere noivern-san, how u been?
Good, I’ve been saving Lorule. Hbu?
wishing i could get help.I decided to do anime themed teams, and no one has any recommendations for Pokemon
For pokemon you can use pokemon to represent the characters Misty= Starmie Ash=Pikachu Dawn=Buizel Brock=Onix etc
I wasn’t really planning on Pokemon, but thanks for the idea. I was doing Naruto/Bleach/Fairy Tail and Dragon Ball
I misread ._. xD but you’re welcome. For Goku maybe you could do Slaking or another monkey pokemon since he has the tail or even Lucario with aura sphere.
Goku would likely be an infernape, and vegeta would be the lucario i guess. but other than that, i don’t haz much
Lickitung can be Buu
Buu? I was thinking M. M2Y, but Lickythung culd work
Yeah Buu, had a typo.
Mewtwo for frieza xD
Kyu seishin no honō for ninetails, it’s japanese
It means nine spirit flames
Ah, dat’s cool, but too long.
Nuuuuuuuuu
How about Sasuke the Greninja? (I don’t watch Naruto so bear with me XD)
Actually, i was using Talonflame for Sasuke
Cool, what about Ninetales or Delphox for Naruto? because of that fox mode thingy he changed into when fighting Sasuke iirc
I don’t like naru himself tho. Maybe Kurama the ninetails, but not naru himself
Arcanine for Naru?
I don’t watch too much anime myself, apart from anima and the really maistream ones so the ones I come up with may be done before or really common. Would TLoK count? If so maybe Bolin the Excadrill? Or some other elemental types that correspond to avatar characters
TLoK is american made, so not an anime, that, and i’ve never seen it.
Thought so. Anyway good luck, when finished it’ll be really cool
Thanks!
I was thinking Arcanine for Naruto.
I need a trade back to evolve my Spritzee. Any helpers?
Meh.
I can help u evolve ur Spritzee
Making a drainer? I ran my set with mixed Evs like 252 in hp 160 def and the rest in spc def with draining kiss, wish, aromatherapy and calm mind and there has been times where I swept with it because they can’t kill it after 2 calm minds with the big root and draining kiss it’s decent and I advice you using it over florges any day
I can help
Don’t evolve it!
Does anyone want to battle?
@jirouchiha:disqus What about a DmC themed team?
Absol for Vergil, Houndoom for Dante
I kno nothing about DmC, so i really wouldn’t feel comfortable with a DmC themed team
What about Final Fantasy or something like Deathnote?
Deathnote I know, FF, not so much.
Umbreon or Noctowl for L, Banette for Ryuk
What about light? The last episode really changed what i thought about him
Any pokemon that was seemingly innocent until it evolved.
Ah. Like Zorua. Bad example. Houndour then
Sneasel maybe? The Crystal version pokédex says, “This cunning pokémon hides under the cover of darkness, waiting to attack its prey.”
That would work, but Weavile is so much better competitively. Eviolite Sneasel tho. Hard choices, too hard
You could always evolve it into Weavile xD
It has to be something that was good but can be corrupted, like bannette, it was a doll that was thrown away that seeks revenge or something that becomes progressively violent like heidregon or something that deceives others like wobbafet
Wobbafet
Reason :
The body you see isn’t actually it’s real body but the tail is, it decieves other pokemon To strike back with a counter
That too.
Kingdom hearts, arcanine can by xaix
KH is a mix of FF and Disney lol
Dat too
Okay, so my first anime themed team is planned out! I finished the Dragon Ball Team first, and i want you to tell me what ou think
Goku the Infernape
Vegeta the Lucario
Raditz the Zoroark
ChiChi the Exploud
Chaotzu the Golem
Nappa the M. Garchomp
why not a Lickilicky Buu?
LickyLicky is a bit hard to use for me, never done well with it
Lickylicky is the new blisseyblissey
Thx for the reminder!! I forgot I had a shiny infernape!
No prob
You guys I forgot. Have a shiny infernape in my Pokemon white 2 game!!! I can’t wait until Pokemon bank comes out!
Me too. I haz so many shinies on my white
All I want Is my old Torterra and a Baltoy
I chose piplup XD I wanted a monferno to fill out my pokedex and I ended up getting a shiny!
Is there an official release date for pokemon bank?
I still need to beat Black 2 but i’m busy with A Link Between Worlds.
December 27th for most of tha world i believe. 25th for japan. i think it’s free till 2014, then $5 a year
Thanks :3 Still gives me a few weeks to beat it
Is LOZ LBW fun?
YES. Soo much nostalgia.
Okay. Jiro my phone is acting weird and I can’t reply on Dusqus for some reason. What’s your ign?
Fenrir. R U garrett?
I think the elite four member Caitlyn is asleep when you battle her, I use my zoroark transformed into my lucario and she spammed psychic and it doesn’t affect zoroark, not only that I used his signature move 3 times and spammed dark moves that lucario can’t even use, the AI In black and white 2 are so stupid
In x and y the e4 Is reaaally smart.
Do they think a zoroark disguised as a fighting type is weak to psychic despite using multiple dark and his signature move?
What’s up guys? Monday as usual for me, but now back to pokemanz.
Supertraining new Warriors
lel u liek pokemanz????
Omgesh so koollll
much awesomeness
mudkipz
My immaturity strikes again
I got bored ok? Don’t judge
Hey @hockerj23:disqus or @jirouchiha:disqus will you be on in like two hours or so? If so, I might be able to do the trades. And Jiro I have a different offer, reply if you are here and want to know.
I’m here, what’s cracking?
Ok, instead if the shiny clauncher and fraxure, can I trade you one (of your choice) and a about 3 IV skiddo and goomy instead?
Let me think. Okay, the fraxure for Scolipede, which did i might say, and what nature and ability do the skiddo have?
Sap sipper, and Impish, I have bashful and hydration goomys. I have other stuff if that’s not enough.
Do you have any adamant Meditite?
Hmm, lemme check.
I have a calm sap sipper goomy WHY, WHY MUST YOU BE SO CRUEL TO ME
I haz Bold Gooey Goomy w/ egg moves
I want TAKE ALL MY MONEY
i’ll give it to you. It’s Bold, Gooey and has Acid Armor, Curse, Iron Tail and Counter i believe. what can you offer 4 it
Nope, sadly. I can make one though probably. I also have a lv.1 volt tackle pichu.
Calm nature.
I’ll wait for a meditite. Thanks Ithsme
Anytime. 🙂 Its worth it for all your giving me.
Yup. Oh wait, i totally forgot. Didn’t you want a larvesta too?
No, thanks though, star bits was giving me one, but I just assumed it was you. And the meditite I’m breeding to get adamant has pure power.
That’s nice 2 know. Thanks Ithsme
Sure. 🙂
Chansey with a lucky punch?
My FC is 0344 9971 9463
But I haz Chansey and a friend wit chansey safari
Hmm impish bulletproof chespin?
With spikes and synthesis
I got that!
Haz dat. One from Jordin and an italian one from WT
Timid charmeleon?
Bold spritzee
Adament gible
Adamant doublade(May want to reset bag it since I already had adamant doublade so I leveled one up to trade)
Spritzee has wish as a egg move
How much do you want this? On a scale from 0/10, how much do you want this Goomy? I must know
9 i have been looking for a sliggoo f safari for ages, well one that will add me
Alright. Do you any Mega stones you are willing to trade?
I collect them sorry 🙁 that’s all I have to really offer unless you want a level 77 dragalge or a modest amuara
I really want you to have this Goomy, so I’ll ask. What Iv’s do the Amaura haz
My other pokemon are for wifi battling and I don’t want to trade them off, WAIT I HAVE A ADAMAMENT FLETCHINDER WITH GALE WINGS
Jordin gave me an adamant Gale Wings Fletchling, and i got a bold one from WT
K I’ll check the Ivs, however this one was from wonder trade and it had modest so I don’t know it’s ivs
Okay, i’ll wait.
I was planning on making a spc sweeper aururos
He said superior potential overall, greatest in hp and spc attack
I like the sound of that. You know what, let me think on it. I’ll get back 2 u within the hour
Well an hour will be 20 to 12 for me so if might not be on ill see
Jiro would you rather have a female adamant aerodactyl with perfect atk, def, and sp.def? Or do you still want the meditite.
I have an Adamant Ev’d Aerodactyl already, sorry. How about i throw in that Prankster Riolu with the Klefki, and take Clauncher, unless you really want it that bad.
Um, so the clauncher and fraxure?
Yup. Clauncher and fraxure for Klefki, Riolu and Scolipede.
Sure.
Alright. That’s taken care of. When can you trade?
Possibly in like an hour and a half if your on.
I’ll be here. Just give a shout when you’re on
I’m here, but only for about an hour and 15 minutes
Dang, so close. I can trade in like an hour and a half now, but maybe I can try to go for earlier.
Otherwise, I’ll be back later tonight after my class?
Possibly, if I can. Probably not though, and maybe tomorrow. I can go to the library every day, but only once.
Well, we shall see when you’re able to go today if I’m still able to be here or need to leave. Otherwise, besides taking my gf to class at 530, I’m free all night tomorrow
Thanks Jiro!
No prob defensive, anytime!
Do any of you remember when I started here? I just looked for like a week then was a guest known as Itsme, not Ithsme for a while.
i’ve been golurking here for months, and only joined in late september. i think i remember you from when i either first joined or was still golurking.
I think I joined mid September.
I’ve seen many of you guys early october when the leakers were leaking.
I have been golurking for ages Before the logo was sewaddle
-_o
It during the late era of hg ss
What logo was it?
I actually can’t remember XD I think It was snivy before sewaddle was released and before that I can’t remember
It might have been oddish, but i don’t think it was
Idk why but people thought I was a troll as a guest, probably because I was a guest during the leaks, so I always asked what happened recently.
OH that was u! I remember you, and how angry everyone was at you. I feel for you man, being accused of being a trolll is terrible
But I still don’t understand why. The people who were nice to me were basically all the regualrs.
Yup. Regulars are normally the nicest
yeah some come and go, but we are the hardcore fans.
Man i feel sorry for you… even though i never accused anyone of anything (except tootles), i get accused for stuff all the times it makes me feel terrible, i m sorry, but i am glad you lived through that and came here to poke jungle still
Ya it was the regualrs that made me feel at home here. They didn’t acuse me. All the accusers aren’t here today.
Yea i never accuse anyone of trolling unless they come to pokejungle ( a POKEMON website) and say how much they hate pokemon and how they are not going to get x and y blah, blah, blah. That annoys me
Y u think I was accused? Or were you not here then?
I don’t think i was here then, if you were i wouldn’t accuse you at all, i rarely accuse people, since people do it to me all the time, i try not to be hypocritical so i do not do it.
When was this anyways?
Like around the week before X and y. All I wanted to do was know the scoop on things.
Nope that week i was barely on this its i had a lot of homework + i don’t remember a “troll”
Well, I wasn’t a big “troll”, just some random people sick and tired of hearing me ask “Whats new?”
Oh yea i never thought you were a troll, because if i did i would be hypocrite, something i hate being, because i am almost 90% sure if a person who had an account asked that question, someone would tell them the answer without calling them a troll. I am 110% sure if a gym leader said “What’s new,” nearly everyone on the site would answer.
Buddy, from what i remember i never called you a “troll,” I just noticed I rarely call people trolls, idk why i just never do.
Yeah, good for you. For all they know, they could be insulting the dictator of the galaxy. Hehehe.
Hehe… hehe… is it true…
but this of course is a joke. *smirks evily*
I… i hope
Everyone does.
Why do you guys think I was accused? I dint do anything?
Yay, Adamant Abra from WT!
Such a perfect nature!
I use adamant Magic Guard Abra sometimes. I like using physical Alakazam, and special terrakion. the special terrakion sweeps i’ve done.
I got one! But um abra is a sp.atker.
It used focus punch on the anime… it was pretty strong
I like being backwards.
just like the time i received a modest Shiny Machamp from this guy from 7th grade
No one will expect that Psycho Cut/Return/Fire Punch/Thief combo
Trace Huge Power tho. M. Alazkazam reks
Dat Physical Sweep Mega Alakazam
none will see it coming
You are wonder trading too, what are wonder trading?
Random stuff i don’t like. Like i’m about to WT a water Absorb Poliwag
lol oh, i wonder trading my timid noibats when i was masuda methoding… 780 eggs no shiny…
I always assume if i get a Weedle, Caterpie, etc. That the person who gave me it is Wonderlocking, i am too optimistic xD..
Wonder traded a magikarp once, I got a protean greninja for it XD I felt bad for the guy and traded him something decent
Do any of you guys use pokemon backwards? Like physical alakazam or gardevoir, or special terrakion?
Does Physical Greninja count? People seem surprised when I do that
I wouldn’t count it, because the competitive usable froakie you get from shauna post game is jolly
Really? Didn’t know that. I got me a Kinniekins from her
I got Froabble. My brother got Chester
CHESTER!!!!
It’s called Froabble? That’s hysterical
It’s called Kinniekins?
Yuuuuuuup. Little Modest Kinniekins
I got adamant chester.
Adamant Chester, Jolly Chester, Modest Kinniekins. Shauna’s a competitive breeding genius
When Can oyu get jolly chester?
Nope. Natures and IVs are pre set.
Then why did you say jolly chester?
I did? I meant Froabble
Oh, XD.
Nah, I’m new at this, so base stats are basically my guide lines. (+ spe for everything, I love that stat.)
I like SpA too. I try and ignore base stats sometimes, and just surprising people. No one knows how to deal with backwards pokes
I meant speed.
That too. But if it’s so fast, like Greninja or Aerodactyl, then +offense is good too
Yeah, then again, I’m new to this.
I guess i am too, just started actually battling recently, but the easiest trick is: Mega Kangaskhan almost always guarentees win. Crappy trick if you ask meh
nah I’m the kind of guy who’s only strategy is to hit it until it breaks
I used to do it all the time!!
special Dugtrio
physical gengar
physical reuniclus
special heracross
special darmanitan
worst of all BRAVE (+attack -speed) Electrode
Then i noticed nobody did what i did so i stopped…
Physical GENGar! I remember using that!
LOL my move set
Shadow Claw
Sucker Punch
Poison Jab
Drain Punch
I used the same moveset!!
LOL xD give me a hi 5
*Hi-5’s*
You earn respect from me too bad i don’t think i have you as a friend on the 3DS
I’d add you after i battle thegreatwyvern. my fc is 3926-5715-7315
Ok my friend code is
1934-1146-1784
About that comment down there, why do you think people thought I was a troll? I don’t remember doing anything wrong, unless you count being curious about the leaks bad.
Because you were different!
Does anyone want to battle I’m soooo bored
Let finish my Wt and then I will
Do I have your friend code? My ign is lewis and my character is wearing a fedora with a red feather
Wats your IGN Wyvern?
I don’t have you my FC is 0344 9971 9463
mine is 3926-5715-7315
If there is a new region in Z, then do you think shauna will be there? She says she will do to a different region next time.
Hopefully. She was okay, but her hair was really terrible. other than that, she was okay
If you’re a boy she has a crUsh on you!
Who has a crush if girl??
Dialougue is the same regardless of gender, so it’s the same with both genders
I like how you’re given protect after the fireworks scene.
Dose innuendos
Yeah. That cracked me up. “Protect yourself from love!”
Any she showed some feelings toward the player, if you’re a guy that is
And girls.
Wat
yuppers.
Eh, I’m not her biggest fan, I just hope that hints towards an RPG theme in future games, like in Fire Emblem Awakening ish relation system
Well I always theorized that black white 2′ s playable character is the child of black and whites
Makes sense, but then you realize that the bw2 characters are older than the bw characters, and you scream in frustration. i thought the same thing
Wait what?
They look younger than b w
I know, but masuda said that they were older than all other protags, so they are likely older
LIES
Your team is going to screw me over
not really. never battled half these pokes
Well your team counters me but let’s see what damage we can do hmm?
this is a lucky shot
Yup.
Take it back
Nope. THis is why i don’t use Protean. Torrent surf is stronger than STAB SE Dark Pulse
WHY WAS IT SOO BULKY
Compared to other greninjas
I don’t know. I did the normal set. Maybe it was Ivs?
Aww shit
This is very unlucky for me 😉
So sorry for tha hax
Don’t be, I stall lke a bitch
It’s time
Ow that was extremely painful
Check bulbapedia if you no believe meh
actually in BW the Hilbert/Hilda are 16, in BW2 Nate/Rose are 16 except Hilbert/Hilda/Cheren/Bianca would be 18 at the time of BW2
Where did you get those ages?
From Serebii,Pokebeach,and Bulbapedia but in X/Y both Calem/Serena are 10 not 16, Gamefreak went back to the player being 10 again
NNNOOO! I though they never changed it.
They did in 5th gen went back to 10 in 6th gen
I don’t remember serebii and bulbapedia saying anything about 16, i remember older, but not that much older.
I remember
Um, I thought they were all supposed to be 10.
I thought Hilbert and Hilda were 14…
I thought they were all 10!
The 5th generation changed that
No they are 16 in BW, 18 in BW2
In BW they were at least 16 years. BW2 takes place two years after the first story.
Maybe. I just hope there’s a new region.
