I fucking hate you, Regirock.
I will admit... I hate myself for learning about EV training. Now that I know about it, it feels wrong to train my Pokemon any other way (it's like becoming aware of your blinking/breathing/chewing). I don't do it for all of my Pokemon, though, and I usually do it while multi-tasking. It takes a while, but you become attached when you put in that much time and care. I'm actually proud of my Pokemon when it beats a tough opponent, and it's the closest I'll ever feel to being a real life Pokemon Trainer. ;-;

Oh god, that's one of the worst feels in the world...
For me, it started with breeding Pokemon for moves. It was just for fun (and making the most out of TMs), but after a while I started reading those "Pokemon of the Week" articles on Serebii and went from there. The one thing I won't do is breed for IVs because I can't check those and I don't have THAT much patience. It's hard enough getting certain Pokemon to have the right gender, ability, and nature, all in one.I used to hate learning about the whole IV and EV thing, but it's really quite fun after I get into it. I see a challenge or goal (Like a pokemon that I want a part of my team from fighting a trainer and seeing its uses) and then I immediately delve myself into making it a reality. The perfect pokebreeder... It makes me feel the most connected to pokemon. I'm really looking forward tot he pokemon Amie and how I can use that to further strengthen my connection

I hope you get to make the food items for Pokemon Amie. I never cared much for the contests, but making Pokeblocks and Poffin was super addictive. It's also going to be nice to have some interaction with your Pokemon again. Having your lead Pokemon follow you around and being able to talk to it in HG/SS was freaking adorable. It did make evolving some Pokemon even harder than normal, though...
>yfw his ability will be different
How the bloody hell would that work over Streetpass? Sending your team to fight the other person? I can just see it now... One dude just walking around a whole convention center, an Uber team safely tucked into his pocket, sleeping, but sending out his team as challenges like virus, an epidemic throughout the ENTIRE center.
"Hey Billy! Wanna trade Pokemon?!"
"Sure Jimmy! That sounds swell! Lemme just pull out my 3DS XL that I pre-ordered and got on release date because my parents are filthy rich!"
*Uber Streetpass walks by*
"Hey! My Pokemon game is automatically battling a trainer that seemed to have walked by! But... How do I stop it? There's no exit button... I can't even control my pokemon! He's destroying my team! All I can do is watch as the AI of my pokemon are too stupid to fight back! STOP USING EARTHQUAKE ON THAT LEVITATING BRONZONG! NooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
And everyone was sad.
Wouldn't the problem be designing all those evolutions and not putting all those megastones in the game?Guys guys! Let's not take this whole EVERY POKEMON GETS A MEGALUTION thing seriously. It could very well have been a translation error. Because holy fuck that's over 700 DIFFERENT MEGASTONES to collect. That's absolutely ludicrous and unrealistic. I can imagine they meant they WANTED to give one to every pokemon but were unable to because holy fuck where the hell are we going to put all these damn stones within the world? Better have yourself a MegaBackpack.
P.S. Thumbs up for the Mighty No. 9 support.
Where did the "Every Pokemon is getting a Megavolution" rumor come from anyways? This is the only place I've seen it mentioned and it seems way too extreme to be true.
Giving that many Pokemon the ability to Mega Evolve would make the novelty wear off really fast. You also have to consider just how many new Mega Pokemon they'd have to create for this... let's assume 100+ (it's probably over 200 but I don't feel like counting). A new generation already means new Pokemon, and we usually get 100~150 new Pokemon per generation. I don't see them putting in the effort to create 100+ new forms when they're already creating 100+ new Pokemon.
Realistically, I only see a couple dozen (if even that many) Pokemon getting Mega forms. We'll probably see a few older Pokemon getting straight up evolutions, though.
How have you not trained a Scizor ever before now...
Dont even look for a new region list. just jump in blind. thats the best way to play pokemon!
