    I can assure you the Diancie WILL be there. If for some reason it isn't, I have numerous Japanese Diancie that CAN be traded. I can even get you a spare code; I plan to visit some EBs for codes, but not sure whether I'll be able to input more than one into the game or not. (RNC had a full box, so I can't understand why I only got one Gengar unless the codes were deactivated before the end of the promotion.)

    If you're extra paranoid and have a Power Saves, back up your save before doing stuff. But I can guarantee you the Diancie will still be there. Here's how. On the Card Album, it will tell you that you have either "picked up your gift" or ask you to "Please pick up your gift" "in any Pokémon Center". I have three events that are still begging for pickup. They date back to August 25, where the Mega Stone code was entered. The Heracross I never picked up from August 19, and I even shifted that card to slot 6 so I could get the Gengar before it (someone wanted a Brave one, so I went to get a Brave one). I also have a Supersize Pumpkaboo on standby for pickup dated October 18.

    So the Diancie will still be there. Don't you worry about it. And it will be tradeable at some point; I think Nintendo's just trying to exert control, and at some point it has to go to OR/AS, so it can't be untradeable forever. I'm reading a Jirachi event also had trading problems, so it's not new; perhaps Nintendo just hasn't updated the filters yet for events other than the Japanese and Taiwan, etc. ones.

    Okay I didn't know about that, that is really good to know! However, I'm still too scared to leave, cause if I lose this Diancie I can't event get another one traded to me! (I'm just overly paranoid and scared to lose this Diancie!) On a side note, I saw your post in the cloning thread and was curious if there was any chance of you having come across a Xerneas or Yveltal in your cloning travels? Specifically:
    5IV - 6IV Xerneas with Lonely nature in Great Ball (if 5IV, want 31/31/x/31/31/31 spread please)
    5IV - 6IV Yveltal with Mild or Modest Nature in Luxury Ball (if 5IV, want 31/31/x/31/31/31 spread please)

    Let me add to that. You can even influence which event you receive when you want it by arranging the Wonder Cards. You have an unreceived Gengar but want to deal with Diancie first? Arrange them. Get the right Diancie, save, then deal with Gengar.

    Glitch?

    I still have numerous unreceived events. As long as the Wonder Card doesn't go from unreceived to received status by some voodoo, you're in the clear. She will stay there, and I wave at her every time I wander over to the Rater without stopping to pick up my gift. She will still have it.

    Well if you don't need them to be caught from the friend Safari, I can get you any Safari pokemon you need with their hidden ability. I won't be able to do it now because I don't want to do ANYTHING besides soft resetting for Diancie because I'm nervous that if i leave or do anything else, there might be a gltich and the girl in the pokemon centre holding my Diancie will go away. So if you don't mind waiting I can check in when I finally get what I am looking for (IF I get it) and then can hook you up with anything and everything from the Safari you might still need.

    Personally, I'm happy with a 5IV spread. It doesn't have to be perfect, but if I can get 5IVs in something, I can then breed for 6IVs later one at a time and go in Dex order.

    But that said, I am still working on getting 18 more species in the Safari. Had a better day today than expected on my Safari Dex, stumbling last nite upon someone with BOTH missing Flying types, then went Togepi hunting this morning and ended up at Reddit. Reddit guy hasn't added me yet, but I don't care; I checked someone's Safari at Neoseeker and the first thing I saw was Togepi. Later, the female hunt was complete (12.5% is LONG, I've done it with Eevee, starters, the Pan trio, and more). Fairy complete! Riolu came along, also rare in females, and I completed that female collection! I then looked at the Safari thread and found Muk and Garbodor in a Safari; I still had a Garbodor Safari, but no HAs, and Muk was the only missing species, so that is now complete!

    My Safari search is down to two Normal types (I have HA Audino, but want to catch a trio the same day, so need a new Audino Safari among that, Dunsparce too), 3 Dark types (have Absol and Mightyena on add requests, missing Inkay), two Electric types (Electrode and Galventula, the former missing HA and the latter only caught in HA, again needing fresh sets), two Fighting (Mankey and Meditite, one I think in hand again but missing HAs), four Grass types (these keep eluding me, I'll be using the Safari list soon), Duosion for Psychic (going to clear this ASAP), two Rock (Rhydon and Nosepass, I've seen both in Safaris but never get added), and Bronzong for Steel (asked someone at GameFAQs, don't expect to ever hear from him), and Poliwhirl for Water (asked someone here, awaiting response). And I'm done. :)

    Sorry! I just noticed this message, I must have clicked the notification or something but didn't see the message, sorry! Anyway, I just finished Glittering Cave and while at this moment I am currently soft resetting for a good Diancie, I will soon be going back to breed everything I caught. (I already bred a Kangaskhan and Hippopotas, and had gotten to a 5IV Sandile with Thunder and Fire fangs, I was just waiting to get the correct IV spread at the moment after I FINALLY get my Diancie) but anyway, after that I will be breeding Helioptile (if I can ever decide between Dry Skin and Solar Power), Dwebble, Lunatone, Solrock, Rhyhorn with Thunderfang, Onix, Woobat, Machop, Cubone, Mawile, Tyrunt, and Ferroseed, THEN I'll be moving onto the fossil pokemon so it'll be a while unfortunately. I already have every Safari pokemon now, as well as every Pokebank exclusive (all with their hidden ability, if applicable) and every pokemon that has their hidden ability but is not currently available in X or Y, and on top of that, I am ALSO working on collecting each hidden ability pokemon that appears in hordes that aren't available in Freind Safari, but the Horde HA things and getting a 6iv Xerneas and Yveltal are the only things I need to collect left. And I agree, sometimes a day is all you need to breed a route (I think the most I ever got was 4 perfectly bred pokemon in a day) but sometimes it takes so much longer, like 2 or 3 days to get one because you keep getting every IV spread EXCEPT the one you want, which I find extremelyy frustrating, so if you have any tips to speed things along, I would love that! As of right now I obviously breed with Destiny knot and Everstone, use a 6IV ditto and hatch 5 eggs at a time, take the offspring with the most perfect IVs and put that in daycare with the ditto until I get one with 5IVs and then keep breeding that until I get the spread I want, and I hatch 5 eggs at a time in Lumiose City by going to an intersection, pushing extreme right or left and putting a piece of paper under the control stick so I can hatch 5 eggs every 10 minutes or so, but I would GLADLY take some tips on how to speed things along!

    Like I said, I can help with that breeding. I have 6IV Dittos and can get a 5IV specimen usually within a dozen Eggs (if not, then with a second batch). I have all but 19 specific Pokémon that I will soon have; I have something in each chain. The exception is Zygarde, which will be caught soon. So I can literally breed everything and anything and can help speed up the process very nicely. Or I can just help with the things that are NOT found in Kalos, even in Safaris; in that case, I can help with Rattana and Meowth for sure.

    But if I can help with the breeding task in any way, I'd do that; I want to eventually breed a 5IV HA (preferably female where possible) specimen of everything. What Route are you on right now? Obviously it's after Route 7 since that's where the Daycare is; with a 6IV Ditto, it's possible to clear any Route in a day or two and have 5IV of everything without HAs.

    Actually, I only need Sandstorm and Icysnow now. I traded my River and Ocean patterns for them. Naw, I probably won't be finishing the game any time soon, I am just breeding for 5IVs, and I'm breeding the pokemon route by route because then it's only a few at a time, instead of all pokemon all at once. You can delete me if you want because it's going to be a while before I finish the game (let's jsut trade vivillons before you do!). Thanks for checking with me though!

    I just reread the Vivillon bit. Turns out I know I have three of your missing Vivillon. Once I can clone again (as they are my only ones), I can get you Garden, Icy Snow, and Sandstorm. Not sure if I have Monsoon.

    Have to check which ones I am missing, so we'll do that later.

    Oh, right...I remembered there was someone who said that.

    Is there any chance you'll consider finishing the game soon? I really want to delete the other Pancham Safari but don't want to lose the HAs. :) I know you want to get all the perfectly bred Pokémon, but that is something I always save for the post-game, especially since the Safari helps greatly with that. I can at least provide breeding material if I know where in the game you are. :)

    I can even help with some of the breeding (since I have 6IV Dittos) to speed things along and just send you the Eggs; are 5IV good for you or do you try to 6IV everything?

    Just thinking finishing this before doing it again in OR/AS, that's all. :)

    I can help you with most things, however you won't be able to unlock my third Safari because I still haven't finished the game yet, so I'll still be just the two unfortunately (still breeding everything as I come across them to have perfec pokemon)

    Any chance we can try to connect in X/Y? I have you on my Friend List (moved up since adding to slot 48, and moving further up with some deletions today); I am between you and someone else who both have Pancham Safaris and would like to delete the other as that person is either inactive or no longer has me. However, I did see him online at one point, and I need to make room.

    So yeah...any chance you can pop online and meet me in-game this evening? :) It would unlock your third, and I can then get rid of his Breloom third, which I have elsewhere. LOL

    Also, congrats on completing the Safari Dex; I'm about 29 away from having access to everything else that I need. Just added a Toxicroak (to replace someone whose data went corrupt and never returned) and Gloom to get there, and they're currently my only available catches. Are you able to connect me with people who have what remains on my list? I can perhaps offer some nice event Pokémon at the end when you have helped as much as you can; the more help, the more events. :) Just note that I clone events. :) (And I want access to the Safaris myself; I'm putting everything in my OT in a standard Poké Ball. And all female where it exists. This is as old-school as it gets.)

    Also, your system message says "need Zapdos"; I haven't caught the one flying around Kalos in my game yet, but I can eventually get that for you. Maybe I'll finish that up with your help on the Safaris and can clone it immediately for you. :) And I can also get you Polar Vivillon Eggs if you want one in your OT. :)
