    Caught a Tynamo on AS. Time to breed and time to redo with a Tynamo from the start!

    I'd settle for episode Z for X or Y to give it some post elite four content and make them compatible with ORAS.

    It's guaranteed. All of the Legendaries in X/Y and ORAS have at least 3 IVs at 31.

    RBY on virtual console is astounding. Still, does this mean that we're going to have to deal with the archaic stuff like a single special stat, physical and special being exclusive to certain types, overpowered psychics, etc.

    Generation 1 finally on Virtual Console. :D  Hopefully these games sell well enough for Gold, Silver, and Crystal to appear.

    Probably. I just wonder if they are going to keep in the glitches or eliminate them. First thing I'm going to try and do is the mew glitch. Nintendo eliminated the minus world glitch from the Vic release of super Mario bros. so who knows what will happen.

    The first games are broken beyond belief. Sure there's nostalgia but there's not much reason for this port to begin with. As RPGs, these games aren't meaty by themselves.

    Huh, pretty neat. Still got my Yellow and Blue, and play them on via Stadium with it's double and triple speed options, so don't really need them. I'd be all over a rerelease of GSC though.

    I think that I've mentioned this before but recently I've just completed a run through of Pokemon Black. Well, almost completed as I still need to catch Kyurem, face off against Cynthia, and go against the Elite Four again. But yeah, I decided that since I've pretty much completed Black version I decided to get White 2 next. It unfortunately means I will have to deal with having two Reshirams rather than getting a Zekrom but I can live that. Anyway, the game just arrived in the mail today. The guy whom I got it from off of eBay stated in his description that he hadn't played it in a while (2013 in fact). So, before creating my own save file, I decided to peak into his and maybe if he has anything good I would keep them for myself. Well, once I got into his file and looked into his PC I saw that he had...

    One Lv 100 shiny Mew
    One Lv 56 shiny Celebi
    One Lv 100 Jirachi
    One Lv 100 shiny Meloetta
    One Lv 100 shiny Victini
    Four Shaymins Lv 32, 33, 41, and 41
    Five Deoxyses Lv 1, 36, 37, 40, 100
    Four Arceuses Lv 15, 20, 21, 100

    Yeah, that's totally not suspicious. :rolleyes2 

    There were also two Togekisses and a Togetic, three Blazikens, two Samurotts, two Torterras (one of them shiny), two Feraligatrs, two Serperiors, two Sceptiles, an Infernape, a Typhlosion, a Meganium, a Charizard, a Blastoise, and a Venusaur, and a lot more. Not to mention 6 Master Balls.

    That's exactly what's going to sell these. Most youngsters who purchase them will likely be pretty disappointed. I know I'm getting Yellow since my hard copy stopped keeping saves years ago.

    Second selling point is fat Pikachu.

    I'm still a little miffed it's not Z or X2Y2.
