Register for Battle of Hoenn!

by

Friendly reminder that registrations are now open for the Battle of Hoenn tournament. Only Pokémon found within Hoenn’s regional Pokédex, with the exception of Groudon, Kyogre, Deoxys and Jirachi, are able to be used. This is an interesting stipulation and should be a fun chance to see how the competitive scene is shaken up when many of the OU Pokémon have been taken out. The registration period is open until Thursday, January 22nd and the battles will begin right away on Friday, January 23rd. All matches are 3 on 3 singles.

Although I usually don’t participate competitively, I will be taking part in this competition. I look forward to battling some of you!

  2. Guys My internal Battery life died on my Emerald, I can still find the shinies but it is supposed to be EXTREMELY hard, should I continue this Hunt?

    • Two ways you can look at it:
      -You can comply with the fact that you just wasted however much time trying to find a shiny but haven’t.
      or
      -You don’t want to have wasted any of your time, so you might as well keep hunting until you find it.

      This is why I started with the earlier games, because I knew that the odds were ridiculous in X/Y (and later ORAS). I’m used to long hunts, whereas I see people crying because they haven’t found a shiny in 500 SR’s. That’s like, 4 hours of hunting. Give me a break, some of my hunts have lasted months!
      The point is, if you want to hunt in Gen II-V, you better be fairly patient. It’s not really harder, it’s just that there’s a higher chance that it’ll take longer.

  10. And oh, have you guys heard about the “new Hidden abilities” which are coded into the 6th gen games but are coming in the 7th gen games? Things like Drizzle Zapdos, Multiscale Mega Zard X, Lightningrod Samurott and Pure Power Alakazam.. I’d take it with a grain of salt though. They have Parental Bond Nidoking/queen ffs

  11. Nintendo announced they’re discontinuing club nintendo. They’re replacing it with something else they didn’t go into detail on. I’m guessing they’re switching to all digital rewards. And they said in February they’re adding a bunch of physical rewards so people can get rid of their points. I wonder if there will be Platinum and Gold rewards this year? :/

  12. Hi guys. Haven’t been on much because I’m sick. I went to the doctor and apparently it’s an ear infection, yet I’m suffering from a sore throat, really bad cough, nausea, and more. I’m on 4 different types of medication, but I should be good by next week.
    Much love. 🙂

  13. Idk you guys heard but it has been confirmed the tyrunt will actually have sturdy not rock head
    “Following the reveal last week, there was some confusion due to the information provided by the Pokémon Global Link website which listed the Tyrunt to have the Rock Head ability. This was contrary to the information extracted from the games which stated that the ability distributed was Sturdy. However, they have now posted a retraction and correction on the Global Link confirming the full details of the Tyrunt. The Tyrunt is Level 10 with its Hidden Ability of Sturdy with the moves Tail Whip, Tackle, Roar and Stomp. It is distributed on January 30th if you entered 3 battles in the Battle of Hoenn”
    Very disappointed

  14. Hey guys, so sad news. Club Nintendo is going to be taken down on june 23rd 2015. But it WILL be replaced by another system that is currently in the works. All with a club nintendo account will receive a download code for flipnote 3D(finally). But it’s not that great as the N3DS(XL) comes with it pre-installed.

    • Yeah but some of us either don’t have the money or don’t want to spend ~$200 on another 3ds system when the one we have works perfectly fine…
      Also I never really understood how people got stuff from Club Nintendo, did you have to give them your address/P.O. box or something to send it to? Digital stuff I can see, I got a free copy of Y from it. Hopefully more stuff like that comes around so I can get free games 😛

  15. Fun fact:
    This is the first generation where, by smogon standerds, Starmie is NOT OU
    Even though most of you guys don’t care I thought it was very interesting

    • Because there’s the possibility it won’t last long anyway and you waited one to three turns setting up on something that could’ve been taken out easily. Stealth Rocks are more useful.

  23. Tbh, I don’t want a FR/LG remake just yet.. I want to go back to a region tailor made to be a 3D region. ORAS was beautiful but it felt like a pop-up region unlike Kalos, which felt like an actual 3D game (if that makes any sense) but if we do get remakes next year (I really doubt we’ll get Pokemon games this year), I won’t complain. I’d love to hear the Kanto music remade, so.. *flies away*

  24. I don’t want to seem like I’m eagerly awaiting a gen 7 announcement, because I’m not, but I’ve been thinking about something that I hope will one day be introduced. A branched evolution. One evolution through friendship, while the other with frustration. Since it’s almost impossible to have max frustration, it would just need to be in the higher levels. And it could belong to an evil team leader. Anyway, I haven’t had time to get online recently, because of a ton of schoolwork, but most of that has been completed. 😀

    • Also, I started SR’ing for Shiny Zekrom. Still no luck, even after a week and a half, but I know I’ll get it eventually.
