WIth mega-evo's, who can tell anymore?

[Eddard McHorn Van-Schnuder]

Sir, I think you may be confused. There are no Digimon in the Pokemon franchise.

Mister gentleman, I am afraid that was just my poor sense of humor. Sorry.

Gamefreak's word filter has been garbage since Gen 5. The hilight being that it would not allow you to trade a Cofagrigus unless it was nicknamed because it thought you were trying to say fag. In gen 6, a couple of people named Viola complained that they couldn't name their character after themselves because apparently the name contains the French word for rape in it and is thus on the blacklist. I can understand not wanting profanity in names, but GameFreak takes a little too far and ends up just making fools of themselves.

In Gen 5, I had a Musharna named Penny. It was my main Pokémon in Black and I couldn't wait to transfer it to XY. When I transferred it, however, I got a notification saying its name had been changed for being inappropriate! I can't even find any AR codes that would let me rename it...I'd honestly buy one just for that. I was really disappointed. Haha. It just further increased my maybe somewhat irrational hatred for Gen 5.

Oh crap, I broke the game!

 

(well... almost)

 

So I've got a Snorlax designed for captures, his moves are Block, Yawn, Work Up, and Hold Back, everything you need. Then I read that if Ditto is holding an Everstone it will always pass its Nature down when you're breeding. So I figure, I'll try to catch a Ditto with every Nature. So I encounter a Ditto, which, naturally, transforms into a copy of my Snorlax. The Ditto-Snorlax uses Block against me! Now I can't swap out Pokemon or Run from battle, but my Snorlax is incapable of "killing" the wild Ditto! My only choice is to go through all my moves until I run out of PP so I can kill the Ditto with Struggle (and that means 85 turns) !   Of course it gets worse because Ditto calls for help, so now I've got two Dittos using Yawn to put my Snorlax to sleep so I can't use moves until I wake up!! I also can't capture Ditto because there are two!!           

 

What if you ran out of PP for 3 of your 4 moves and the opposing Ditto used Block and Taunt??? Would you be stuck forever? Unable to run, swap out, kill Ditto or move because of the Taunt?? 

[Cukeman]

Well, I used the trick where you make a wild Ditto transform into a Smeargle that only knows Recycle and give it a Leppa berry so that I could find a 4 IV Ditto, I ended up getting a shiny 4 IV Ditto my very first (40 link) chain.

I must say, the first trial is excrusiatingly easy. On to the next one.

[Cukeman]

Now that Pokemon names have up to 12 characters instead of 10 they should fix broken names like Feraligatr (it should obviously be Feraligator)

Hey guys, I was able to finally reach 50 wins in super singles battle tree, quite easily I might add. Probably because the team I'm using is OP and really easy to use.

 

Battle with Red video here: ZUPW-WWWW-WWW3-KEGJ

 

My sets were:

 

Tapu Koko (Life Orb)

Modest Nature (Timid would be better to be honest)

252 SPA, 252 SPD, 4 HP

-Thunderbolt 

-Dazzling Gleam

-Taunt (always use it on Rotom Heat, Walrein, Umbreon, and Mandibuzz)

-U-turn (Safe switchout while dealing little damge to opponent, also able to hit ground types unlike volt switch)

 

Mega-Salamence 

Jolly Nature

252 ATK, 252 SPD, 4 HP

-Return 

-Dragon Claw 

-Dragon Dance (Only boost when you feel super safe)

-Earthquake (Hitting steel types)

 

Aegislash (Weakness Policy)

Adamant Nature 

252 ATK, 252 HP, 4 DEF

-King Shield

-Sword Dance

-Sacred Sword (Hitting the double teamers and stockpiles)

-Shadow Sneak (Always nice to have priority on slow mons)

 

Overall, I won with just this set. Pretty nice if I have to say so myself. Just watch out for hax sheer cold Articunos.

Progress:

Spoiler

Got both the Sun Flute and the Moon Flute, made it through Vast Poni Canyon (beating the last Grand Trial and the last trial), got to Ultra Space, defeated the abomination that is Lusamine and Nihilego merged, and caught Solgaleo. Now headed for the Pokemon League.

 

Team: The last change to the team is Magneton evolved into Magnezone. Team Levels are around 56-57.

[TK8305]

I got Pokemon Moon the other day!  Have yet to start it yet because of some orders & massive cleaning in the house lately.  >.<;

[thepsynergist]

I'm trying out a Salazzle/Toxapex doubles team with some success.  Poison the whole team and always crit.

[Cukeman]

I keep opening my team list thinking I have to select someone who can fly 

[The Satellite]

I've since adapted. I've figured out thanks to someone else you can register a Ride Pokemon to the D-pad, which makes things even more convenient. Suppose it makes sense; fishing rods and bikes and stuff had hotkeys in the past. Hotbuttons? I dunno.

Progress:

Got to the Pokemon League and beat it. Also caught Tapu Koko during the game's long ending.

 

Team Levels were somewhere around 60-62.

 

Thoughts during the session:

 

Spoiler

-(Returns back to the field after beating Gladion) Ugh, I see that Gladion got the "Creepy Grin" trait from his mother.
-(Takes on the last trainer of the Elite Four, some female golfer with Flying Pokemon) Um....who are you? After fighting 2 Kahunas and another character that appeared in the game, it seems strange to face someone that was never encountered until now.
-(Multiple times during the long ending) Can this ending please end?! Nothing's worse than beating the final boss and not being able to save until after the ending that goes on and on for at least 30 minutes and the credits.

 

Taking a break from the game before taking on the postgame.

Isn't that the case for most of the Elite Four members throughout all of the previous games anyway? Though now that I think about it, I think I confused her and Mina, because I swore I encountered her on a route somewhere previously in the game, but nope, you're right, you never see her until the Elite Four. Odd indeed, but not un-standard. Hell, knowing the Elite Four this well beforehand is the unusual part.
 
You apparently learn a bit more about her later if you can find her in the postgame though.
