Question: what is around the average number of Pokemon it takes to find a shiny in an SOS chain?
Never for me
Have you tried, or just never found one?
Tried at least 20 times
for me: 80-120
I dunno. I’ve tried multiple times, bit I don’t have the patience to go past 50 because I have stuff to do in the game
WHY DOES OVERWATCH TAKE SO LONG TO DOWNLOAD!?!?!
So jealous. Gotta wait until Christmas to get my hands on Overwatch
I bought it with birthday money for black Friday, saved 25 dollars. Also nice icon 😉
Thank you! I bought Paper Mario with an eshop card I got today but haven’t played it yet so I guess I will tomorrow
*Ear pricks up*
Play…it… NOW
Well I cant right now but I will tomorrow for sure and I will more than likely come back talking about how good it is im excited to start playing it
Well please enjoy every moment of it
I spent hours on end playing it as a kid… I even drew the box art to show the guy at Funcoland, I probably have set foot on every inch of the worlds
But that changed for the best when a few months ago I set out to do this
http://i.imgur.com/xi9J6Pt.jpg
(Disregard the quiz there is only 64)
I can honestly say this game has made truly the happiest of out of all the games I’ve played in my lifetime
I haven’t gotten on my 1.2k dollar custom built gaming PC in over 3 weeks because of Pokemon
Well. It finally downloaded. I’ll see you guys tomorrow
probably not though because ya know… its overwatch
Unpopular opinion: Overwatch is an extremely boring game. But maybe that’s just because I’m not a fan of the genre, the gameplay seems too repetitive.
Well I guess I can see how it could get repetitive. I was super into TF2 for a while though so I feel I’m goona like Overwatvh
Yeah, I also thought TF2 was boring, so you’ll probably like Overwatch. It definitely wasn’t the worst game, it kept my interest for around a week or so. I feel like one of the reasons I wasn’t a fan though, is because my skill level at shooters is extremely low, and everyone else seems so good at the game.
Yeah that can be pretty frustrating. Like I love Smash Bros but I can never play online because I always get destroyed. Like I think I have won maybe 4 games compared to 200 something matched. I suck 😛
Backwards for me. I suck at shooters, but am amazing at smash. Anyway, that’s a good analogy. I wish Overwatch had a tiering system though, that’d make the game much better.
I want to get good at smash. Maybe if Smash 5 is ever made then I will really get into the competitive scene and learn how how to play well
Amiibo helped a lot, I can say that for sure.
You play Smash too? I’m adding you to the list that includes SomeGuy right now as people I need to play against.
My opinion: My respect for you has just shot through the roof! I agree!
Wow, usually everyone praises the game likes its divine lol.
All I’m going to say was this…
I enjoyed Battleborn…
Does that explain why I dislike OW?
You are truly in the minority 😛
Poor battleborn never had a chance to compete with Overwatch 🙁
Here’s what bothers me
Battleborn is a REALLY fun game! And it’s a lot different than what people claimed it to be! And Overwatch kinda mauled it.
Worst of all? Battleborn clearly had a lot of thought put into it. The lore and backstory of certain characters in incredible, the most I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s just so sad that it got slaughtered
Jim Sterling’s video on it made be feel really bad for it. they should’ve delayed it a couple months just so they could release it at a time they wouldn’t be overshadowed by OW
Yeah… It should have
Lemme just tell you this, this is the level of thinking that was put in the game
A single rather humorous line said by a certain character sometimes at the start of a match with no actual real relevance actually brought up again by another character in a lore journal. The creators actually remembered this.
I have had characters I have played for hundreds of games and I’m still hearing new lines.
Honestly? Every character in the cast has a certain charm to them in my opinion, and it’s rare I feel like a game does that
Good luck coming back… because Overwatch…
I didn’t know there were two sets of exclusive UB’s.
Yeah. I really wanted a Kartana too. T.T
I could give you one? I don’t need four. The only thing is that I didn’t reset for natures cause I was just gonna do that when I played Moon, and then I found out kartana was an exclusive
Team building is hard

Oops, sorry hahaha. My bad!
Ok done, heading back online!
Thank you so much!!
I miss the reset bag. I NEED THE RESET BAG.
Instead of hitting a bag for 10 minutes, I have to wait for up to multiple days just to get the berries/festival shop I need. This is infuriating. Oh my god.
Welcome to the wonderful world of pokemon where every generation is two steps forward and one step back.
But this gen was like two steps and a stumble forward if you consider the story
Ehh, story’s not something I really count since its mostly as good or bad as they invest time into it. Given they had a lot more time to invest into this story then X&Y, its not really that surprising that it turned out better. Its kind of the same case with Gen 4 and Gen 5.
I think story is what I remember most from a Pokemon game when I look back on it so thats why I count it
Same. Right behind “general feeling the region gives me.” But story plays into that.
Oh don’t get me wrong. I remember a lot about pokemon’s story and love them. Its just something I don’t really hold them to be good or not given Story is one of the last things done when developing a game, giving it the least time in development. So if its bad, its more so because they didn’t spend/have a lot of time to work on it.
Yeah I suppose. Its so unfortunate its that way though. Story should be integrated alongside game play. But oh well
That more depends on the game though really. For most of gaming a story was little more then something to keep you going from point a to point b. Now games are a bit better handled with more of a focus on story. Heck as I’ve been saying I’ve been playing through FF15 and I’m kind of amazed by how much detail is in the game with it comes to its story and lore. From explaining how an entire town came to be fully run by women(who also pretty much supply power to an entire nation, to a random journalist who sends you out to take pictures for his propaganda magazine, to actually making me feel bad that a generic NPC was shot and killed because he wouldn’t rat out the main character in front of his own grandson, and then giving me a sidequest to basically go around the world to give him some Amiibo to feel better as he crashes with one of the many Waifu’s of the game.
Story does seem like its becoming more and more important in gaming, but we’re still a long way off from it becoming the first priority. Heck I’m still waiting to see what will happen in the Aftermath of the Switch and see if the concept of a half gen console will actually succeed or fail like it sort of did for the new 3DS.
I honestly thought they would keep Super Training since they’re all for the idea of making competitive battling an easy thing to get into but nope
Yeah. Chalk it up the the controversial design philosophy they have of taking out certain features to make the game/generation more memorable. Sometimes it’s fine like Kurt’s balls or the dream world, but this is a pretty big mistep on their part and really the only bad thing I can say about the game.
True. It’s really the only complain I have about the entire game. However, it’s a horrible aspect to not excel at since competitive battling is all a Pokemon game has after everything’s been done. Sun and Moon was an amazing game but this just leaves a really bad after taste. Damn.
Being honest, after we got the power items nobody ever used ST. It was only handy for a few weeks.
But ST brought the Reset Bag which I didn’t know at the time was heaven sent.. I do now
I’m missing a few berries so
I am as well.. and it’s not that fun going around the region hoping that the berry you need is available
I need physical attack, one of the defenses and something else i cannot remember
Do you have the defense one?
I think
Another question: What’s the longest you’ve ever chained before either finding a shiny or breaking the chain somehow?
I’m at 190 right now and getting pretty discouraged. TBH I thought it would take 40 max.
Not chained, but I bred for 3 months for a shiny treeko hoping to use it for ORAS. I got frustrated and just cheated one from HGSS and transferred up. I felt guilty though and never used it. I think I released it or WT’d it or something. I have still never found a shiny Treeko
I spent 9 months looking for (and eventually found) and shiny turtwig.
Oh wait I actually hunted for buneary longer. 5 months with two shinies. One for competitive, one for in game use
That’s dedication.
I mean before Gen 7 it was my favorite pokemon. Needed my pink bunny :3
i named it cotton
Almost four weeks to find shiny Cresselia.
Moving, you still here?
Huh?
Sorry! This was before we were able to tradeback the lycanroc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEyQZJpHxnc
am I doing this SOS chaining for shinies wrong or something? ive been in this same battle for hours, my decidueye has grown 15 levels, and I have eaten through about 150+ leppa berries. no shiny beldum yet, I’m starting to think ive been doing it wrong. ive had to have chained nearly 400-500 of the things already….
Sounds like your doing everything right,I’ve been in a SOS chain with sandygast going on day two and still nothing and only 105 Leppa berries left. But I wish you the best of luck!
So you can only get one of the Apricorn balls per game? Good thing I used my Moon ball on Lunala
Sadly, this is the truth.
For non-legends, the apricorn balls mons are all over GTS now.
Hence, why I started my competitive mon trading service 😉
Just got three bottle caps in less than an gen minutes. I’m feeling lucky.
HOW?!
I have two lottery ticket booths and two haunted houses. I lucked out and got multiple tries/items from each of them. One lottery gave me a bottle cap and the haunted houses game the two bottle caps.
Huh

Call me rotom… It looks like some of my dex entries are looking rather grim XD
OMG I JUST GOT THAT TOTODILE FOR A SUDOWOODO !!!!!! FROM THE GTS !!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/90f1208ef5d868571f68469f3c219ac6268160e7238c9be01573602310e0403b.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cd5db663a251b21bb8819a7cc16188d24d60aae79b634e79ad486a63a5391663.jpg
Wow and female pretty lucky!
And in that lure ball WITH a gold bottle cap !
Didn’t even notice that!
And pokerus it’s the perfect totodile!
“Generation VII is the only generation that did not introduce any Pokémon that have gender differences.” Shame!
Hey guys! Is there someone willing to trade a Drampa for me? I wanna use one 🙂
Sure! Got an Apricorn ball?
No, I’m sorry, I just arrived on akala island so I haven’t made much progress yet. I don’t have anything of value to trade to you right now, the only thing I have to trade is a wonder traded Cubone
Ah ok
Got the shiny charm today. 140 Bagon. Still no shiny. I got my shiny dewpider after 150 encounters without the shiny charm -.-‘
Still need lucario to complete my dex.
Can you breed Mareanie? I tried but it keeps saying they don’t really like each other much.
What are you breeding it with?
My Toxapex.
It might not work between the Evolution and pre Evolution
Oh, nevermnd, it apparently works, just took a bit longer.
I’d try breeding it with Ditto if it won’t work
Hey Kurusu, do you have a Drampa up to trade for me?
Sorry I don’t yet, I have the right game but I haven’t gotten to that mountain yet when I get there I’ll be sure to catch one and put it aside for you
I’m ready with the egg when you are
Oh ok.
That just means it’ll take forever. The message that appears when they can’t breed is “they prefer to play with other Pokemon than each other”
That’s a relief, I want to get a shiny mareanie.
My team before Trial 5
Tsareena lvl.32
Beware lvl.33
Lycanroc lvl.33
Primarina lvl.34
Holy Crap Lycanroc just one Shotted Totem Vikavolt with Rock Tomb
For the catching challenge, if we release ePokemon, will the caught Pokemon number fall or after we catch it does it count it and nothing happens if you release it?
Basically what i’m saying:
If I release a Pokemon, would the catch number fall (Global Mission)?
No, it won’t. I’ve released most of the Pokemon I’ve caught for it. Though I haven’t checked my tally in a few days.
Phew!
No, no it wouldn’t. Hope that helped!
ok, no. I’m done. ive taken out nearly 2000 beldum. used up about 400 leppa berries. I’m done. this is absurd. soooo much time wasted. I will never attempt this again until I have the shiny charm. now I can finally get back to ffxv…. ugh.
Ouch. Damn that sucks. If anything takes near 100 for me I just run away. I wish thee better luck next time around. RNG is a cruel mistress.
my decidueye, bless his heart, had to endure the whole mess. he was lv. 40 when I started, now he’s level 64
GOOD GOD
how is FFXV tho?
its pretty neat. I’m going to reserve judgement until later, but I really like the interactions between the characters and so far combat is a blast. its also very very strange (in an interesting way) seeing a modern day final fantasy, they even use Coleman brand camp gear (tents, thermace, lawn chairs, etc. its just product placement). so far so good, ive been playing for about 2 hours in it, and I just got past the opening area, there’s lots to do.
thats good! im getting it for christmas
my one gripe is that the entire content of the screen doesn’t fit… well, on my screen, and there is no way to adjust it. its never hindered me yet, but very slightly on top is cut off, and some of the right side is cut off (but it only cuts off a couple letters, you can usually tell what it says anyways.)
most likely a tv thing not the game
I looked it up just incase,and I’m not the only one with the problem. a lot of people have to adjust their TV’s just for this one game, then re adjust them for anything else.
Check your remote my TV has the same problem with certain games and it has a game mode button that fixes it https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/14dfe76f64d6e785f0db3ee376e88e8744e5cd9ff7acec174985194d41987f53.jpg
hey man, thanks a lot, that helped wonders! 😀
Sweet. My little bro has an Xbone and I’m getting it for him for Christmas and I fully intend on playing it
theres a gorgeous hardcover strategy guide that I bought for it. I like it, it doesn’t exactly say where to go, but it shows a map and says “theres a sidequest here, attempt it at about lv.–” and, if you are into that sort of thing, it does give in-depth handholdy kinda walkthroughs as well.
That’s cool. I’m not much for guides though. For open world games I’ve always tried to let my desire to 100% things chill out because it makes the experience feel more natural and fun when I just try to go discover stuff.
that’s how I usually am too, but this game is still very much RPG, and I cant stand missing things in RPGs. it eats at me if I do.
Makes sense. I’m similar in that regard. Ill have to just feel it out as I go along.
one of my absolute favorite things though, is, you can purchase (in game, not IRL as dlc or anything) the soundtracks to previous final fantasy games to listen to while driving in the car. its awesome and brings me back.
That’s really cool. This will actually be my first FF game though so no nostalgia for me haha
Have you seen the Nissin Cup Noodles billboard…
yes, its an insult, Maruchan is a way better brand.
OMG YOU’RE USING IT
of course I am! Hiker David Photobombs needs to be a meme and I’m going to help any way I can! one of our wonderful users here made a pic where Hiker David photobombed one of Muhammad Ali’s greatest moments of his boxing career lol.
knowing how fast this took crabrawler will be a pain to catch (caught this last night) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1f00625c8c0896c17252a1ef1e29bb95669ae4afed5d223f527a3bc53181bc3e.jpg
btw I love your profile picture lol
thank you! 😉 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b014730a6f6b2d0f189d366a807bcf69497a667f1356a80937004274e161a2ca.jpg
