True we're all noobs at one point. Ahh well that's good, I'm sure there are forums around just the opposite as this one, but its good to see that there are forums that are like 'families' I guess is the best way to put it. And alright thankyou :) And if the topic has already been done, but has been dead for a while, do I just say that there was already a topic like that and I brought it back to life? Or what?? O.o Ahh I never really actually traded with anyone, I just traded with myself because I've had had no one to trade with. All my real life friends stopped liking pokemon since Ruby and Sapphire came out I believe, that was the last game I know of some of them played, so I've been stuck trading between my two ds's :/ meh. Mm true, and there is also the GTS thing, but I don't trust that, I had gotten a Gengar from it, and it absolutely sucked. I also got a shiny pikachu (didn't know it was shiny though till I had put it out in battle) and I didn't know if it was legit or not, so I don't trust that thing.
