I'm assuming the 6 hour buffer is there to prevent people from gathering money rather than xp. Wouldn't it make more sense that after you beat the elite 4, for 6 hours after they dont give any money. You could battle them as much as you want but the reward doesn't restock until 6 hours have passed.

HEY MAN DO YOU LOVE FISHING I SURE DO FISHING IS MY FAVORITE MINI-GAME IN NIER We're having our first ever official fishing tournament! Rule clarification: You can catch any level Magikarp you can using any methods available, however they must be 'freshly caught' (i.e. caught within 2-4pm EST). If your Magikarp's timestamp is outside of those parameters, your magikarp will be disqualified. You must level your Magikarp to 18. This is easily done by Exp. Share, Lucky Egging, or simply swapping Pokemon at Tangelas. This is so we can get the best IVs possible, but keeping it within easy to reach levels. Magikarp cannot be any higher or lower than level 18. How IVs will be calculated is as thus; your IVs will be averaged, rounded up, and added together. Whoever has the highest TOTAL IVs Magikarp will win! Natures WILL NOT earn you bonus points. You may submit your Magikarp in between 2-4pm EST on December 8th to any Judges, who will be announced in-game via announcements prior to the event starting. You will NOT get your Magikarp back. You may only submit ONE Magikarp. First place: Shiny Magikarp Second place: 3 Rare Candies Third place: 3 Speed Vitamins (Carbos) Any questions can be asked in here and I will do my best to answer them, but keep the thread clean. Thanks, and see you then! YOU DO NOT NEED TO REGISTER OR POST YOUR IGN, JUST SHOW UP AT THE DESIGNATED EVENT TIME AND START FISHING!

Another alternative: Keep the money, cap the XP and open Cerulean cave.

When looking at all I see is I can't be the only one who sees this?

desu dont let us down

If you like it then please leave a like, thanks. UPDATE: JANUARY 13, 2013. As you may or may not know, yes, I did quit. After seeing that people are still interested in this guide I am beginning to feel guilty that I have not updated it. Thank you for all the views and thanks over the months, seeing some stupid thing I typed up being received that well and just getting viewed this much blew my mind! If you're going to be in the Sevii islands use Squall's guide: Link I'd like to ask that mods consider pinning the other EV guides as well since it's a whole different game from when I played. I'd hate to just straight up delete this thread but it's probably obscenely out of date and probably should be replace by a guide that someone else has written that is up to date. You'd know better than I would about it being informative. Before you get started you may like to know what EVs actually are. EV stands for 'effort value'. 4 Evs will increase a pokemon stat by 1 point, the maximum amount of EVs in a stat is 255 but the recommended maximum is 252 so you can use the remainder points in another stat. If you want a full guide and explanation of what EVs are you should check somewhere else like bulbapedia. If you have never played pokemon competitively before and would like to learn more about sets and EV spreads then I would recommend checking out smogon. They have all you need and more on basic cookie cutter sets. (Sorry for everyone who just cringed) Also, do not make the mistake of EV training a bad natured pokemon. For example an adamant abra. If you are going to sink the time into EV training, then you need to catch a pokemon with a nature complimentary to the stats you want. For example again a timid alakazam is perfect, as you will be EV training it for SpA and Spe. Here is a link to my preferred natures chart. The - stands for a subtraction of 10% and a + represents a subtraction of 10%. As you can see if you look at the chart timid adds to speed and subtracts from attack. You can also hover your mouse over the pokemon's nature in the pokemon summary to show what it does. I don't like to rely on that, though. Sometimes it's unresponsive. This is a list of all the places to train EVs. It will tell you what pokemon will give what EVs and where to find them as well as their levels. I will ammend it as new content is released. If you see something wrong, let me know. Even I, the great and powerful Galium-sama-rama-chan-san-kun make mistakes. Also, this is not a natures or how to EV train thread. That's another show guide. You would be surprised what doesn't give the EVs you thought it would (like weedle, speed what?) The recommended pokes to train on and the best area to find them will be bolded and highlited in red. Stat Recommended Area Level of pokemon Health (HP) Fat things give HP EVs and it's no coincidence that there is a fat guy sitting next to the pond in viridian. Before surf - Caterpie. After surf - Slowpoke. The pond has only slowpoke and psyduck, so you can get some SpA while you get HP. 1 HP EV Viridian Forest Lv. 3-5 Clefairy 2 HP EVs Jigglypuff 2 HP EVs Nidoran (F) 1 HP EV Snorlax 2 HP EVs Slowpoke 1 HP EV Ditto 1 HP EV Grimer 1 HP EV 1 HP EV Viridian City (surf) Lv. 20-35 Attack (Atk) Of course slaughtering hugging super kawaii desu ne bugs with big eyes makes you stronger. Why wouldn't it? And if you're wondering "Why paras?" it's because they appear at a 100% rate in the tunnels. An alternate area is behind the safari zone warden's house in fuchsia. Fishing there will always land you a goldeen, seaking or gyarados. (Thanks Tsriel.) Watch out for the psyducks, though. If you want to keep your level low for tourneys, you need to stay at paras. 1 ATK EV Mt. Moon tunnels Lv. 5-10 Mankey 1 Atk EV Machop 1 Atk EV Machoke 2 Atk EVs Growlithe 1 Atk EV Doduo 1 Atk EV Nidoran (M) 1 Atk EV Ekans 1 Atk EV Arbok 2 Atk EVs Bellsprout 1 Atk EV Weepinbell 2 Atk EVs Gyarados 2 Atk EVs Krabby 1 Atk EV Kingler 2 Atk EVs Goldeen 1 Atk Ev Fuchsia City (fishing behind warden's house) Lv. 15-25 2 Atk Evs Fuchsia City (fishing behind warden's house) Lv. 25-30 2 Atk Evs Fuchsia City (fishing behind warden's house) Lv. 15-25 Defense (Def) ALL HAIL OUR GREAT OVERLORD, TANGELA. BY THE POWER OF TENTACLES, YOU WILL NO LONGER SUFFER THE VIRIDIAN FOREST! (for def) They appear at a 100% rate on route 21. That's RIGHT below pallet town. You need surf to get there. Metapod 2 Def EVs Kakuna 2 Def EVs Geodude 1 Def EV Onix 1 Def EV Cubone 1 Def EV Marowak 2 Def EVs Sandshrew 1 Def EV Koffing 1 Def EV Weezing 2 Def EVs Slowbro 2 Def EVs Shelder 1 Def EV 1 Def EV Route 21 Lv. 14-28 Special Attack (SpA) Special attack should only be done in one place. 2spookytower in lavender town. There is a healing spot right in the room on the 5th floor with the pokemon you will be genociding er.. ghost busting. (It's fine they're already dead). Just watch out for cubone because they give DEF and will screw up your EVs. 1 SpA Ev 2spookytower Lv. 13-19 2 SpA EVs 2spookytower Lv. 20-25 Oddish 1 SpA EV Abra 1 SpA EV Magnemite 1 SpA EV Magneton 2 SpA EVs Horsea 1 SpA EV Psyduck 1 SpA EV Special Defense (SP. Def) Good news, everyone! Venonats came way earlier than I expected and now we get to grind on those! They give 1 EV and they're pretty common to boot (30%)! But wait, there's more! Ditto also appear in the same area (and the pokemon mansion basement at a 10% rate) as venonat so you can proceed to catch those in hopes of good natures for breeding (someday). The venonats appear on routes 13, 14 and 15, I recommend going to route 15 for the tasty dittos and close proximity to the pokecenter. After you get surf you can encounter tentacools and it's much easier to grind those than it is to grind venonats. And no, you can't surf into tentacruel until post game. Drowzee 1 SpD EV Venonat 1 SpD EV Routes 13/14/15 Lv. 24-26 1 SpD EV SURF ANYWHERE Lv. 5-40 Seel 1 SpD EV Dewgong 2 SpD EV Speed (Spe) This one's easy. If you're supereffective against ground go to diglett tunnel. If you're weak to ground and will die to a dig train on route 18 and grind on the birds and rats. If you are a ground type you can go to the powerplant, just avoid the magnemite and magneton as they give SpA. You can put a level 23 pokemon in the front of your party and use one repel to only encounter dugtrio if you want. Heck, even zubat has a use sometimes. Gotta go fast. Weedle 1 Spe EV Pikachu 2 Spe EVs Voltorb 1 Spe EV Pidgey Route 1 Lv. 2-5 Spearow 1 Spe EV Route 16/17/18 Lv. 20-22 Zubat 1 Spe EV Golbat 2 Spe EVs Diglett 1 Spe EV Diglett's Cave Lv 15-22 2 Spe EVs Diglett's Cave Lv.29-31 Rattata 1 Spe EV Route 1/16/17/18 Lv. 2-4/18-22 Meowth 1 Spe EV Magikarp 1 Spe EV Vulpix 1 Spe Fearow 2 Spe Routes 16/17/18 Lv. 25-27 Raticate 2 Spe Routes 16/17/18 Lv. 23-25 Electabuzz 2 Spe Poliwag 1 Spe Poliwhirl 2 Spe Multiple EV Pokemon Seadra 1 Sp.Atk & 1 Def Muk 1 Hp & 1 Atk

--I just want to start this off with this is just an idea. If you dislike it, then that's ok. I don't expect everyone to fully accept it. Dark Pokemon I remember being much younger, when I collected the cards as well as played the TCG. I was always a huge fan of the dark pokemon cards. The dark pokemon were in the Team Rocket, Neo Destiny, and EX Team Rocket Returns sets. Here's a refresher: Ok, now that I've got your nostalgia senses tingling, let's move on. Dark Pokemon would be much more rare than shiny pokemon. I don't really know of a rate that would suffice, that's what feedback is for. I was thinking maybe 1/10,000 or 1/12,000 idk~ Quite a few shinies have accumulated on the server, so I personally believe dark pokemon would be an awesome addition. Here's a mock-up of what I imagine the sprites to look like. The over-world and battle sprites can also be edited accordingly. Will add back sprites mock-up soon. Now, I know dark pokemon aren't part of the handhelds, so I understand that everyone isn't going to like this idea. Feedback is great and helps make the idea better, so leave it. Sprites greyscale'd just another idea

hi there shai. welcome to the forums! I hope you enjoy your stay :)

Imo you should just ban leftovers and king's rock since there is no way to tell if anyone's pokemon are holding items like Soft Sand and Magnet.

actually tl;dr poopation

Elite 4 is here, and welcome back!

Your double posting isn't helping anyone's opinion of you.

40 mins left and no.

Wait a minute....On closer inspection someone actually liked that comment? o.OHow mean.... ;__;

Sorry, you were actually 6th after my opening post....<3 come back in 2 hours for final registration!

Staggered Registration is now closed. Thread will reopen in exactly 2 hours, which will be 5 PM EST. This will fill the last 12 slots. After that, it will remain open indefinitely, so feel free to sign up in case we need any reserves.

EDIT: Don't fake me out like that.

It isn't, go right ahead! Thanks! :D Okay guys, laptop's fixed, I can go right ahead and amend the first post!

Gonna try to stagger the first 20 spots randomly throughout the day so players from all over will be able to signup. If I told people the time, then people would just wait for them to open. The last 12 spots will be open at a set time, that will be announced. Trying to please all parties here. <3

Please read the OP before trying to sign up ;)

Maximum level 50.

Pls let me do Rock

Been considering getting in on this since it was posted, I caved. I'll take ice. edit: already done; I'll post it when the okay is given.

i'd like to work on fire ^.^

tfw still no desire to log in

I was thinking the other day and realized that an externally accessible stats API would be a pretty cool idea. For example, one would query the stats API with a character name and some flags, and the API would reply with character and pokemon stats. This could for example be done with php+GD to make dynamic stats signatures like you can find for some games. Examples: query: PlayerName,listpokes | response: PlayerName,number of pokes,national dex id,nickname string length,nickname string,(repeat for other pokes) query: PlayerName,playerstats | response: PlayerName,badges,money,wins,losses,ratio Here are some examples of how the queries and responses could be structured, albeit in a more relevant form to PokeMMO. As an amateur programmer, one of my hobbies has been dynamic statistical forum signatures. This would be a pretty cool feature if added.

Thx for the help mr patrick,that serebii link should be sticked somewhere.. Pd: If my charizard gets ohkoed by an oddish using "Stone powder" "Stone leaf" or some new age crap i will shout horrible things about you : ).

can i do flying? duno how thats gonna turn out tho... EDIT: i made it, but im not gonna submit it yet kuz teh rulez

Welcome! 1) Not the best, but who cares? B) "Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best." - Karen 2) You might have to subject yourself to some boring reading for this one: http://www.serebii.n...dex-rs/ev.shtml 3) Sometimes. It depends on what you need it to do. 4) Scyther is considered better in this generation (by Smogon at very least). It is only in Gen 4 that scizor gets Technician and Bullet Punch. Be sure to check out Competition Alley (competitive discussion) and the Guide Tavern (player-made resources about the game). See you in-game!

Dark one:

Thanks for the welcome, Omanyte c:

There you go.

I like how they take the time to do splices or make requests but don't take the time to read the rules or what the owner of the thread says.

I don't know why, but I just love splicing with Darkrai. and also zangoose, hint hint
