Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) ... I found a shiny waaaay back when I wasn't even a teenager, must have been 11 or 12. I was playing Pokemon Silver and a shiny Pidgey appeared. I didn't even know shinnies existed, and only found out about them when I asked some of my friends. Also, it appeared right at the beginning of the game, meaning I still didn't have Pokeballs. It was the best and one of the worst Pokemon experience I've ever had. The second worst was when I was in Lake of Fury in SoulSilver and found a shiny Magikarp. Like, seriously? The Gyarados was part of the game, and the legit shiny I find is a MAGIKARP!? The absolute worst is the Jirachi Curse. It's a long story so I won't bother you with it, but it involves the worst string of luck I've ever experienced in a game. And yes, it was bad enough that me and my friend who also went through it gave it an actual, capital-letter-starting name. My first and only legit, useful shiny was a Karrablast in Black. It's evolved and trained now. So, my point is: you guys are SO. LUCKY. GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR LUCK Edited November 7, 2013 by Puredark006 Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2013 Sorry man, my luck goes both ways. I got rare good stuff all the time, but I also get rare bad stuff pretty often. Everything's just a little closer to 50/50 for me. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2013 Both extremes is better than only the bad one. To keep this on topic, Talon, do Mystery Dungeons exist? You know, those with changing layout and multiple floors and stuff Share this post Link to post

Posted November 8, 2013 Didn't know if it was supposed to be one or it was a normal maze-like cave, since we only went once ^^" Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2013 ...Huh, that's odd. I thought I remembered the first post mentioning something about mystery dungeons. Guess I remembered wrong. On another note though I took another look at Fenris's bio and. MILKMON. THAT IS THE MOST CLEVER MADE-UP WORD I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE OMG. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2013 @silverphoenix: I don't think that Alteria would have needed an Oran berry after using roost twice, even with being hit by surf and curse. Roost restores around half Hp right? Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2013 Plus, as a dragon type with super-high base special defense, she could easily tank a hit from surf and shake it off like someone had just spritzed her with a cheap plastic water gun. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2013 Well, silver did say that Altera has abnormally Low SPdef for her species, but still.also: where did everyone go? Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2013 Pi, we can skip to when Atto and Zagan return with the berries if you want ^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2013 Sorry! I've just... everyone in this RP writes way more than me and uuuugghghh I'll get a post up in a bit, after I finish feeling sorry for myself Share this post Link to post
Posted November 12, 2013 Never fear Pi I don't! If I was posting it would be. "Haldor slept peacfully" And that would be it Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2013 Guuuuys, I have 3 projects to hand in this week and next week are my finals so I don't know if I'll be able to post regularly until next Saturday >_< Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2013 *checks heartbeat* Alive! Alive, see! ^^; ah shame on me i even had a four-day weekend - aaah bad me, bad Anyway, I've been thinking of how to improve the battle system a bit... None of these changes would be effective until next battle, but this is what I'm suggesting: - I should use some sort of damage calculator because DANG those Gastlies should have been gone long ago. (Having tested this with a Hydreigon and a Gastly, both at level 50, I've learned this lesson haha.) Puredark, could you maybe send whatever you're using my way? - Would it be a pain for you guys to specify which Pokemon you're attacking in [brackets] at the end of your posts? It's kind of hard for me to keep track of who hit who without a map of the battle. ...Okay, I'mma admit right now that Shiny hunting is totally what kept me away so long. >w<; Anyone want a Shuppet with Phantom Force? Please? Please! Please... Shupps, shupps everywhere. Shupps as far as the eye can see... Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2013 I'll take a Shuppet with Phantom Force Speaking of trading, anyone want Ninetails with Drought?? My friend's code gets me fire types and it's super easy to find Ninetails with Drought (since it's basically announced at the beginning of battle) My code is 5456-0286-7863 :3 we should all add each other Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2013 http://pokemonshowdown.com/damagecalc/ Since we aren't using natures put 'Docile' in both On the upper part, over the bolded "guarantees XHKO", says the percentage of the damage the attack does Gonna add friend code later *bows out* Share this post Link to post
Posted November 13, 2013 @silverphoenix: I don't think that Alteria would have needed an Oran berry after using roost twice, even with being hit by surf and curse. Roost restores around half Hp right? Just ignore that then. oh yeah and Puredark, do you mean use random number generator to see if the electricity hit Altaria, or that I should have used random number generator to see if surf hit her.

Posted November 13, 2013 No, no, there was just a chance Requiem would have attacked Alteria instead of answering since he was confused, and I did a RNG to see which option he'd go with Share this post Link to post
Posted November 14, 2013 Oh okay then. Do I have to use random number generator for stuff like that, or do what I want (within reason of course)? Share this post Link to post
Posted November 14, 2013 I use RNG because it's more fun with that element of surprise, but it's unenforceable, so do what you want as long as you don't abuse it I guess ^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Ooh gimme a Shuppet!! My friend code's 2664-3262-0855. I don't really have much to offer but my Vivilion pattern's polar! Because Canada is a frozen wasteland, yup. Also I'll probably have some Protean Froakies once my friend pays his interest >:I Edited November 18, 2013 by Fractional Pi Day Share this post Link to post
Posted November 18, 2013 Alright, so through a couple days of online trading and breeding, I have managed to acquire an abundance of the following, and would be happy to trade them to everyone once we exchange friend codes: Bulbasaur Charmander Squirtle w/ Rain Dish ability Vulpix w/ Drought ability Eevee w/ Anticipation ability (evolves into fantastic Espeons and Sylveons!) Chespin w/ Bulletproof ability Fennekin Froakie And also a bunch of Torchics with Speed Boost, but if you have internet, then you're better off just getting the event The only things I'm really looking for are Y exclusives and any pokemon (especially starters) with cool Hidden Abilities, but if you don't have that then I don't really care what you have to trade I just wanna share these guys with everyone.

Posted November 18, 2013 I feel so left out... *sits in corner and cries about not being able to find her DS charger and her Pokemon games* Share this post Link to post
Posted November 18, 2013 I've been messing around on the smogon forums and I just found out that Scolipede's hidden ability has been changed to Speed Boost in gen VI. Should I...do something about that? Atto's still got Quick Feet at the moment. Share this post Link to post
