LOL. Sorry, but even to Nintendo, 25 billion YEN is chump change. That's a meager 240 million US dollars. Yeah, they didn't turn a profit for the year, but they are hardly going belly up either. Like others have said, they simply don't know how to handle net traffic and server loads. From...

Yes. I restarted not too far into the game from not liking my starter. Transferred everything to a family members game, restarted and was able to get another Torchic.

That was precisely my point. They are never going to 100% stop cheating/hacking/abusing RNG etc etc etc. To even attempt to begin to limit the amount of hacks, they would have to store everything on their servers. And that would kill the whole point of a handheld system like a DS, PSP etc...

Two very vital things here that people seem to ignore: 1. Cheaters are gonna cheat, and anti-cheaters are gonna hate. No-one is going to convert anyone to one side or the other with arguments here. So the majority of the arguments are moot. 2. The only way to BEGIN to even try to prevent...

This is exactly what I did too. I tried it first with a female that had trace, and most of the offspring had trace. I went and caught one with synchronize, and she started popping out all sorts of wonderful little synchronizers for me. Only downside that I have seen so far, is that...

There was a misunderstanding in the translation that was given to Serebii. It's now believed to be an indicator of a pokemon that was caught natively in Kalos, and anything that comes through the Pokebank/Transfer will not have it. The pentagon shape is the same shape of the Kalos symbol...

In both my X and Y, my first encounters were Scatterbugs. So definitely just coincidence.

I agree, just enjoy and play the game first. Most of the best tools for breeding aren't available until after you beat the champ anyway, so just have fun.

They purge records during maintenance every Tuesday morning at like 3am PST. So I deleted an entry last Tuesday at about 4pm, so I have to wait until next Tuesday before it clears out.

First. Yes, at least some of us are. Why? Well, I bought Diamond and PEarl and every game since then when they were new. I even went backwards and bought all the GBA games. In ALL that time, including some complete replays, I have NEVER had a shiny that wasn't from an event. Second...

More pictures! We want to live vicariously through you and your triumph!

Anecdotal. In all of the RMTs I have ever looked at, and team makeups I've looked at, have never seen an eeveelution that I can remember. And I do remember various threads over the years bashing many of them.

I beat Y with a fairly standard team it seems. (Charizard, Lucario, Doublade, Gardevoir, Azumarill and Krookorok) The gymleaders, team flare and E4 were a faceroll. And the champ was a faceroll until Gardevoir, and then it took out all but two pokes. So, in X, I'm doing something...

How does your Gallade get Mean Look? Not finding how it would get that one.
