Since I understand that post-update, the level up moves that exist in Gen III will abide by the Gen VI learn sets, I was wondering if introducing the abilities obtainable as hidden would become a possibility (as long as they exist in Gen III). Example of how the Kanto pokemon would look like if this was implemented: [spoiler]Venusaur - Chlorophyll Blastoise - Rain Dish Raticate - Hustle Pikachu/Raichu - Lightning Rod Ninetales - Drought Vileplume - Effect Spore Parasect - Damp Golduck - Swift Swim Poliwrath - Swift Swim Tentacruel - Rain Dish Golem - Sand Veil Rapidash - Flame Body Hypno - Inner Focus Marowak - Battle Armor Hitmonchan - Inner Focus Lickitung - Cloud Nine Kangaskhan - Inner Focus Seadra - Damp Seaking - Lightning Rod Electabuzz - Vital Spirit Magmar - Vital Spirit Flareon - Guts[/spoiler] Pros: More variety, more fun. None of these abilities will make the pokemon unbalanced in my opinion. Cons: A solution must be found to obtaining a hidden ability. Giving it a random chance to appear works for the above, with the exception of Eevee, since there is no way of telling the ability of Flareon. The Bulbapedia entry for Hidden Abilities: [spoiler]Beginning in Generation V, most Pokémon were given access to another Ability, referred to in-game as a Hidden Ability, if obtained under certain circumstances: Where possible, all Pokémon obtained from the Pokémon Global Link, either via the Pokémon Dream World or a Global Link promotion, will always have their Hidden Ability. Certain event Pokémon may have their Hidden Ability. Pokémon obtained from the Pokémon Dream Radar will have their respective Hidden Abilities. Two instances of Pokémon found in-game in Black and White (the five Darmanitan in the Desert Resort and the Musharna found every Friday in the Dreamyard) have their Hidden Ability. Pokémon found in Pokémon Black and White 2's Hidden Grottos will always have their Hidden Ability, as do certain other interactable Pokémon in the game. Horde Encounters may have a Pokémon with a Hidden Ability. Pokémon found in a Friend Safari have a small chance of having a Hidden Ability. That chance increases if the registered friend associated with the Safari is online. If a female Pokémon has a Hidden Ability and is bred, it has a 60% chance of giving that Ability to each of its children. Each of the other Abilities has a 20% chance of being passed down. In Generation V, Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, or when breeding with Ditto. In Generation VI, this was changed so that male and genderless Pokémon have the chance to pass down their Hidden Ability only when bred with Ditto.[/spoiler] It might seem non canon at first, but let's admit Extremespeed/Superpower/Hp Flying (70 BP) never existed in GEN III, so if we are following the later gens as closely as possible, I think the Hidden Abilities should at least be discussed

Soon young one. I don't do animated stuff much but I needed his little flippers to wiggle, it was important. Look at him and his two glorious frames.

Do you guys pray to your rng prophets? I've always wondered this out of boredom. For example you prayed to a certain pokemon/based god/ staff , and your rng prayers have been answered. If so, please tell me your situation.To start it off.... I prayed to Kyogre just now to if i found a relicanth with a green shard, i'll get off, make me some pancakes, and then head off to bed....and it happened two minutes later.

Bowser you're supposed to save the replays not post the battle link :(

always. i mean thats who i am

Is Viridian actually this bad? All I get is whispers saying how nervous they are to play me and how amazing I am. So much flattery when I play there. You cant really expect to change someones attitude in a video game, 2 years and im still an arrogant prick. Why not add quality competitive players to your friend list, then you can have an actual competitive match with good sportsmanship. Or maybe you like picking on the weak and your team is easily picked apart by a competitive player so choose not to.

There is no god that can help with green shards, trust me

Just wanted to say thanks for hosting :)

I would hope to encourage and remind you all to use sportsmanship in our game and to help keep our community a clean and fun place to spend our free time. It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity. What Is Sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: following the rules of the game respecting the judgment of referees and officials treating opponents with respect I've seen a lot of "low class" stuff over the last few weeks around dueling spots - not only towards myself but to other players. I am not making this post in regards to any particular event. I realize many duelist do not post in or read the forums. However, I know our community is small and people talk with one another. It's not always possible to maintain control when you are in the heat of the moment. I've cried. We all lose it sometimes and we all mess up. It happens. However, as long as you try to show sportsmanship and treat other people good it makes a huge difference. Interpret my post however you like, it is your choice. Be who you are. Thank you for reading. See you in game.

Reminds me of how mad uMad would get after losing to blonde.. then again he would also get mad if he won.

UU stands for GUaranteed Toxic Urb

Competition is about winning. 'exciting competition' is for people that don't grasp this concept.

Plot twist : Desu watches every official battle and bends the crits, status chances, speed and damage rolls to his will, so your RNG god is actually Desu laughin at you while he plays around with an evil grin on his face.

Shes got an awesome 6*, when she takes her hood off

Arceus is the one true God, you heathen.

I hate you indigo.

Basicaly an ingame buyable news paper that will contain certain informations. It is a known fact that pretty much everything is in the forums yet it is highly optimistic to think everyone will be using it, so i came up with an idea, here is the concept: 1- Self refreshing news whenever something comes up (like mewtwo or a swarm) [spoiler] yes the info can be seen from the TV it can't be expected from players to sit infront of the TV the whole day to confirm a swarm[/spoiler] 2- A section to notify players if there is an official event coming up. 3- Allowing players to post their unofficial tournaments to that section. 4- A section that gives info about certain guides or linking it. these are most of the essential things i can think of atm pretty sure more needed things will be pointed out with some feedback A decent fee (Poke yen) to buy the newspaper, can be bought daily or registered as monthly. How will it work ; if the newspaper bought as daily, the informations will be accessable for 24 hours and will expire when the time is done. Monthly however, will drain the required fee each day in order to keep the paper going... However, if the player who purchased as monthly doesn't have the required fee, the paper will expire and the fee will be cut from the user on the next purchase ( for example ; 1k fee for each payment, upon late payment the next fee will be 2k) Pros : Perfect for money sink and highly usefull Cons : Nothing i can think of Here are some examples for the headlights : Front Page : Team Lyle is on a winning streak Front Page upon mewtwo encounter : <nickname> has captured the rogue mewtwo, but can he get a hold of the mewtwo? lets see who can entertain mewtwo / <nickname> has defeated <nickname> and the mewtwo found this new trainer more suitable as a trainer, trainers whom wants to prove their worth to mewtwo can battle its trainer at cerulean cave channel 7. Front Page upon a swarm : Breaking News, baltoy's which were considered as extinct has made an appearence at the tanoby ruins. Second Page : Our talented trainers have gathered several pokemon to cheer up smee. Smee is now a happy smeargle and playing along with his friends Third Page : An epic clash will take place in Sliph Co. today at 11 PM EST. more details in our official page <link> Third Page upon the time of the tourney is at hand : The arena will be ready for our trainers to beging their clash in # minutes. Forth Page : Trainers decided to have a little showdown among themselfs to measure their skills. Fifth Page : Can't get an egg? our skilled trainers have the information you require, more can be found in our official page <link> Note : Mewtwo appearences, system announcements, Upcoming official/unofficial tournaments will keep on refreshing the pages Also, since mewtwo's system announcements doesn't show up if the player has logged in after the announcement was made, with this mewtwo can be located. Sub-Note : if mewtwo hasn't changed ownership within 5 minutes, the newspaper will announce the location. Note 2 : The order of the pages were randomized upon consideration the order can be changed.

It's amazing so far. :D

Trying to get faster at this

It's on the 27th registration the 24th so we have almost 2 weeks to figure something out

I feel pretty super lol but idk LOOKING FOR OU REPRESENTATIVE FOR TEAM TOURNEY

They were kept because otherwise you get into "+1" spam. Likes function as a simple way to show that you agree or approve with a poster.

Kudasai Helmet or we riot.

Re-edit: flattened head and enlarged arms.

If you anyone (was gonna say "you guys" but some people are sensitive about that so i gotta be careful) are gonna redo the bellsprout line I suggest you base them all around this victreebell sprite. http://imgur.com/RGJ3mBm It was in some sprite pack that someone posted a while back.

i am pretty sure desu is working on it

@Rache Somehow, those glasses give Castform +1000 moe points. I approve. Muk is a bit realistic, FlameBRS' deviantart is here if anyone wants to contact him: http://riderofwind.deviantart.com/ I like twintails! @Moetal I also found a better Yanma than the one we have:

SHINYS SHOWCASE

Chapter One: Wurmple Table of Contents The sun rose over a beautiful summer morning in Fortree City. A brilliant blue sky stretched out in all directions, with only a few scattered clouds hanging far off on the horizon. The forest surrounding the city teemed with Pokémon—everything from the tiniest of bugs to the greatest of Tropius—but men and women were slowly beginning to move about the trees as well. Homes had been built on platforms high in the canopy, each one connected to the next by a series of rope bridges, and these structures blended seamlessly with the branches and leaves. Even more buildings were on the forest floor, but they too appeared to belong there, half consumed by tall grasses and underbrush. Sophia’s eyes fluttered open, sunlight dripping in through the windows of one such treehouse, bathing her bedroom in morning light. She sat up sleepily and stretched as she reached for her Xtransceiver, squinting at the device to read the blurry numbers; it was 07:36, the clock told her. Right on time. Grabbing her glasses off the windowsill she slid them onto her face and ran a hand through her tangled, auburn hair. A quick glance out the window told her what she already expected; it was a bright day, probably warm as well. She smiled dreamily as she snapped her Xtransceiver onto her wrist, crossed the room to her closet, and quickly dressed. As she was pulling a brush through her short, knotted mess of hair, she caught sight of something in her window. A little red Wurmple was staring in at her, his face pressed up against the glass. Bug Pokémon often flew or crawled into windows in the treetop city, so Sophia paid him little mind; her window was closed after all. She continued getting ready, and glanced toward the window every so often to see if the caterpillar was still there. Probably just wants food, she thought absently. It wasn’t until she tossed her bag over her shoulder and was heading to the kitchen for some breakfast that she really took a look at the Wurmple. He wasn’t only watching her, but appeared to be waving at her as well. His tiny front legs wiggled slowly as if in greeting, and only when Sophia turned toward him. She watched him, suspicious. Then her Xtransceiver chimed softly to announce an incoming call; it was Professor Hail, the device told her, and displayed the image of a familiar man wearing a crisp white lab coat. “Good morning, Dad,” she said as she tapped the screen to answer the video call. “Hey! Good morning!” her father greeted her brightly. “How are you feeling? Have a nice day off yesterday?” “Yeah I’m fine, yesterday was really nice. I’m about to head over to the Institute now.” “Actually,” her father began with a smile, “I still have Professor Elder and his assistants here to help me so you can take another day off if you want.” Her brow furrowed. “Why? Is something wrong?” “Well, no. But, ah…” The Professor sighed. “I’m just worried about you, Soph. You’re working too hard. When I was your age I was still off on a Pokémon adventure! I didn’t even start training until I was twenty-two.” “We’ve talked about this, Dad—I want a head start. Everyone my age will just be returning home and I’ll already be fully trained in meteorology.” She paused. “Besides, I don’t think traveling around with Pokémon is for me.” Her father smirked. “This is coming from the girl who was at the top of every Pokémon training and battling class in school. You’d be great.” “That was two years ago,” she said adamantly, shaking her head. “I hate arguing with you about this. Even if I did want to, it’s too late now! I’m almost twenty.” “Soph,” her father said quietly. “It’s never too late with Pokémon.” She didn’t respond, but sighed in frustration and rubbed her eyes. “Just promise me you won’t come to the Weather Institute today. You’ll be Ms. Professor Hail of the Weather Institute before you know it, and you won’t get to take any time off.” “Fine,” she grumbled reluctantly. “I’ll talk to you tomorrow.” “I’ll see you then.” Tapping the screen again to end the call, Sophia sighed and sat down on the edge of her bed, dropping her bag. So what if she wanted to start work early? She wasn’t about to go on some Pokémon journey, so what else could she do? She didn’t like the idea of sitting around doing nothing all the time and she enjoyed working and training at the Institute with her father and the other meteorologists. And the work they did actually helped people, giving early warning of potentially dangerous conditions. She wanted to be a part of it. But her thoughts turned to the little card she’d safely stored in her bag nearly two years earlier—her Pokémon training license. Even as she swore up and down that she didn’t want a Pokémon, that she wasn’t interested some grand adventure, she could never bring herself to take the license out of her bag. It was technically useless—you weren’t officially allowed to train Pokémon until you were registered with the Pokémon League and assigned a trainer ID number—but the idea of not having it on her person made her uncomfortable. Just in case, she told herself. A light tapping on the window reminded her that she wasn’t alone. She’d nearly forgotten the Wurmple, but he hadn’t forgotten her. She smiled at him, waving. He frantically waved back with his tiny wiggling arms. Her appetite gone, she decided she might as well enjoy the sunny summer day. Sophia picked up her bag and headed for the door. As she stepped outside the red caterpillar was already there to greet her. The Wurmple looked up at her curiously with his head uguued to the side. His legs stopped their wiggling to reach towards her eagerly as she pulled an Oran berry out of her bag. “I’m not supposed to feed wild Pokémon, you know.” She placed the treat on the ground next to the tiny caterpillar who wrapped himself around it and took a big bite. But he wasn’t the only hungry Pokémon nearby. A few Taillow raised their heads out of the canopy, staring in Sophia’s direction and crying in voices that seemed too loud to belong to such small birds. The bravest of the three left the trees to perch a short distance from her feet, and with a sigh she reached into her bag to grab what few berries she had left. But when she held the berries out to the Taillow, she realized with a shiver that it wasn’t looking at her at all. None of them were. They were staring past her, their eyes fixed on the oblivious Wurmple. Taillow eat Wurmple, a detached voice in her head said. Everyone knows that. The closest of the Tiny Swallow Pokémon let out a sharp screech and suddenly the air was full of fluttering wings. They showed no fear of Sophia, and dove straight at her—she dropped her handful of berries and stumbled out of the way. “Look out!” she cried in warning to the little bug. The Taillow surprised him, but hearing Sophia’s voice the Wurmple dropped his berry and was braced for a fight. His spiked tail glowed purple as he smashed it into the beak of the first bird to get close, landing a powerful poison sting. The Tiny Swallow squawked in pain and flew off crookedly. The two birds that remained hovered above him just out of reach, chirping loudly. What moves can Wurmple use? She wracked her brain for the information she knew was there. Poison sting, and… “Try a string shot!” Sophia called quickly, more a suggestion than a command, but to her surprise the caterpillar quickly obeyed. The sticky silk hit one of the birds in the shoulder and forced it to make an awkward landing on the platform. “Okay, now poison sting!” But the Taillow was faster. Just as the Wurmple’s tail began to glow, the Tiny Swallow Pokémon rushed forward and pecked at the caterpillar, striking him in the face and drawing strange, green blood. He winced painfully but still managed to hit the bird in the chest with his barbed tail. The bird screeched and hastily retreated to the trees. “You’re doing great, Wurmple!” Sophia cheered, nervously glancing at his bleeding wound. “Just one more, you can do it!” The bug Pokémon faced his last opponent, his tail raised defiantly and glowing with poison. Suddenly, a dark shape dove out of the sky. The Taillow screeched and flapped away in a hurry as a large Swellow swooped down on the Wurmple, her red talons digging into his back and stomach and drawing a scary amount of blood. “Stop!” Sophia shouted at the bird, her voice shaking. “Let him go, you’re hurting him!” The Swallow Pokémon rolled one cold eye to glance at her before propelling herself toward the forest with a powerful beat of her wings, the caterpillar struggling in her grip. “Come back!” She screamed, running after the fleeing bird. Time seemed to slow. Her heart pounded as she strained to think of a way to rescue the Wurmple. My Wurmple, she corrected herself. He’s my Wurmple. And he knew a move or two. “Wurmple! Use string shot at her wing now!” For one terrifying moment Sophia was sure he was too injured to attack. The bird would take him to her nest, tear him to pieces, and eat him. It was over. Then the bug Pokémon raised his head and shot a line of string upwards. The silk wound itself around the Swellow’s large wing, and with a surprised cry she released the caterpillar, flapping violently to stay aloft. But her Wurmple was falling. Sophia jumped off the platform to catch him—and with the little red caterpillar safely in her arms it took her a moment to realize her mistake. On the ground five stories below, someone screamed as Sophia began to fall. Back to Table of Contents
