I live in the USA, so we have Daylight Savings Time during the summer. Yesterday, when I changed my DS's time back one hour to account for DST ending, Join Avenue became sold out of all items and services. I figured it would be a one-time deal, maybe something they put in to keep people from getting extra stuff by messing with the clock, but now it's after midnight on the following day and everything is still sold out and no people are walking through the avenue (so I can't recommend shops to them and level the place up). Anyone else run into this problem?

You have to wait for two midnights to pass, then it will go back to normal.

I think its the same encounter rate for the regular Pokemon and then another % of them being N's.

I found almost all of them fairly easy...the four in the desert refuse to appear so I dunno if its set or random chance encounter.
So that's why... I'm also having problems with finding N's Desert Pokémon... I found Sandile and Darmantian, though...
Guess I'm gonna look for the others and come back.

I don't know if this is just me, but in the outside grassy area with the doctor at victory road I suddenly have a whole heap of Altarias. Every encounter is one of them! I have trained my Excadrill here a fair few times and until today never saw an Altaria in the game.
Did I just not come across it before or is it something special-ish? Anybody else have that?

Nah, the only two Pokemon in that area are Tranquil and Altaria, Altaria having a 20% encounter rate in that spot. All the areas in Victory Road now only have two Pokemon that appear by normal means of travel (walking, running, biking), and more than that by means of shaking grass or dust clouds.

For the Exp. Millionaire medal, do you have to get 1000000 exp on just one Pokemon, or can it be spread out over multiple Pokemon? Because if it's the first one... *shudder*

In Serebii I found this "Earn over 1,000,000 EXP in one day."
I think it's clear, but it's okay if you do it with different Pokemon.

For the graffiti on the signboards, I don't think I have ever come across anything like that. I've seen a medal about Trainer Tips signs, though. Could it be talking about that instead?

And for the faceboard in Humilau City, you should be able to. If you walk straight up to the hole in the board, a man and a lady/a man and a gothorita will walk up. The lady/gothorita will stand next to you stick its face in the other hole, and the man will take a picture. You can do this everyday.

Hope I helped!

The Graffiti is on the back of a sign on Route 2.

Did anyone here receive a female Eevee from Fennel's assistant in Castelia City? If you have, would anyone mind letting me "borrow" their Eevee to breed some hidden ability Eevee of my own :P

And quick tip! If you haven't gotten you're Eevee from Fennel's assistant yet, before you talk to her, save so that you can reset your game until the Eevee she gives you is a female. I would recommend getting a female one so that you can breed lots of Eevee with a hidden ability. Espeon with Magic Bounce anyone?

You might want to use the Quick Trade Thread for that, where someone should be able to trade you one.
Ok thanks! I wasn't quite sure which thread I should post my question :)

As far as I know, no it's not. The only Pokemon that are are N's Pokemon, Hidden Grotto stuff, events (Keldeo, Genesect), gift Pokemon (excluding starter), Reshiram, and Zekrom.
