Maybe it was Power Ranger and he misspoke? Herm... now I'm bummed.

I got my Deoxys! I thought it was May 8th but through some sorcery I got it a day early! :3

Just got mine too. He's got a bold nature, and can I lament how badly I wish I could nickname my event Pokemon? I want to give Deoxys an awesome name, but I can't.

Just got mine too! I usually don't get excited over legendaries but Deoxys is like a non legendary imo.

Ugh I know. I hate when I don't nickname Pokemon. I always end up regretting it later down the road and then I end up wanting a new one. I will make an exception for this Deoxys though.

I have a question for the EV masters. Can you EV train a lv. 100 Pokemon?

I'm not an EV master, so take this with a grain of salt, but I heard that you can in gen 5. I think they implemented it specifically because of level 100 event pokemon which would be otherwise worthless.

I'm just going by Serebii's EV guide though, and I've read things on there incorrectly before.

Yes, because now, the effect of EVs are applied immediately after a battle, or when you level up mid-battle. This means you dont need to level up to reap the benefits, so you lvl 100 Pokemon can be EV trained. This is why in the previous generation, Arceus was limited to 100 EVs per stat, because that's all you could achieve through vitamins.

Woop got my Deoxys'!

Are there any items that will drop evs? Like I know there are some berries but is there anything more significant? I want to level my Adamant Liepard to 100 but since its my story pokemon for B2, I don't want to end up with messed up evs.

The salon and cafe in Join Avenue sometimes has services that can lower certain EV's (depends on what they are offering)

Thanks for the tip! Also new topic:

Almonia is a bad pokemon as it should be Luvdisc's evolution.

YES
or
NO
or
SOMETHING ELSE

 

[Officer Berri]

Why is it not Luvdisc's evolutionnnnn.

I want it to beeeeee. Dx

 

[Juicebox]

No, I think it's fine the way it is. Alomomola is a very, very, very defense/HP oriented Pokemon while Luvdisc is a speed centered Pokemon. Their stats follow a completely different path and although they do have similarities in appearance, they deserve their own respective evolution lines in order to accommodate their battling styles. Like a lot of the gen 5 Pokemon, they were made to have similarities to past Pokemon, Alomomola just happened to have a luvdisc basis. Not all Pokemon who look similar have to be related. That's like saying Cherrim and Sunflora should be related just because they're similar.

 

[Stevey Queen]

I actually thought Alomomola was Luvdiscs evolution at first. I'm glad its not. I hate Alomomola. Its such a fat ugly strong defense Pokemon that is hard to take down.

I have a question too. What is your favorite battle facility? Mine is, if any of you even consider it to be a battle facility, White Treehollow. It's so fun and pretty and different from the others in that you actually earn exp. and money. And you can even go back and keep battling so it's a good training spot. I'm currently making my way through it and I'm almost to the bottom.

I haven't been a big fan of the battle facilities in the past but I am trying to get into them so I can have more to do in the game. I just beat the subway boss on the multi-train last night.

It would probably be Black Tower (so basically the same answer, I just happened to have Black 2 .).

But other than that, I would probably say that the battle palace in Hoenn was pretty fun. Other than that, I never bothered much with battle facilities. It was just fun in the palace because I liked seeing my Pokemon make their own choices.

 

[Quiggy]

Never cared for the battle facilities, specifically i couldn't stand the Black Tower. As for the Alomomola/Luvdisc thing, I'm glad they are 2 different evolutionary lines. Luvdisc is absolutely atrocious in every way except for its speed, and that really means nothing if you can't do anything with it. But i guess that could be a decent reason why it should get one. Maybe it'll get something in X/Y that will make it viable in some way.

I thought the Platinum Sinnoh facilities were pretty neat, not to mention tough. The battle tower and castle were near impossible unless you made an epic team. The rental facility were pretty fun as it could be played by anyone and still was a bit difficult because you had to use strategy in your choices. The battle show (I think) where you played on a game show as you battled was fun as well.


Also what was the Pokelathon like? I never played HG or SS.

Actually i take some of what i said back, i do enjoy the PWT in B/W2. I imagine the Pokelathon is worthless, i can't remember it giving any worth while rewards so It's probably not worth the effort.

It was pretty fun if you like sidequests that don't involve battling. They were essentially like mini games that you could put your Pokemon into, and even though I was atrocious at them, I thought they were fun.
