do i have to register my game with the GTS site first to do this?here's what you can do:
- click in profile (in all the icons like GTS, Game Sync, etc...)
- You'll see your name and icon on top, click it

After 3 dud starters last generation, are the gen6 starters any good, or is it just going to take up a space in my box after a few gyms? I have high hopes for the fire/psychic one, but not holding my breath. Don't get me wrong I liked serperior, but he wasn't good, and the others are worse. My current play through of black (on my phone emulator) I cheated in piplup as my starter.

thanks to nbw for the sig.
You do need to try to gay it up a little more.
You're like the least gay member of this clan.
And that's counting the fact that you voluntarily have sex with men.

turtle and an alligator faster than a samurai otter?), swampert is one of the best pokemon of gen 3, and empoleon is actually a pretty decent wall.
Seriously 70 base speed? I'll pass, especially on those defenses.

greninja with its hidden ability is currently a top-tier OU threat. the other two starters aren't bad either, particularly with easily accessed hidden abilities (magician fox wizard can steal items from your opponent and bulletproof chesnaught is a full-stop to gengar).After 3 dud starters last generation, are the gen6 starters any good, or is it just going to take up a space in my box after a few gyms?

b&ws starters were basically trash as far as competitive battling is concerned. the only
caveat was with contrary serperior + leaf storm, but that was never officially released.

Serperior's coil set is fun, not good, but with coil, leafblade, return, and dragon tail you have some thing to work with.

i used emboar only out of obligation to keeping the band together by the end of B/W.
on the topic of b/w, i am not looking forward to playing through white just to get thunderus esp since i know i'm going to have to soft reset for a perfect one. i don't even remember the process i went through to get the tornadus i have.
also going through my boxes and organizing things for bank to open, i was a fucking breeding god in gen 4/5. plus i have all of those rng abuse shinies.

battle story:
last night some japanese dude i wonder traded with randomly requested a trade w/ me at like... 2 AM. after exchanging actual perfect mons (ready for shiny froakie so hype), he challenged me to a battle. his team was a lot of gimmicky/not heavily OU stuff (contrary malamar, the thunder lizard w/ dry skin, clawitzer), i had gliscor/rotom/sableye. i had a sableye lead vs. clawitzer.
after running burn into switch to rotom, he switched in thunder lizard which I predicted a switch into w/ will-o-wisp. here's where the wheels fell off the train:
i forgot the thing had dry skin, so i gave it HP by using hydro pump
embarrassed, i volt switched into gliscor who, thinking he was going to switch out to something not weak to EQ, i used toxic, not realizing thunder lizard learned Surf. i switched back to rotom after losing 3/4 of my HP.
rotom used shadow ball, not realizing that the fucking lizard is half normal, so
another wasted attack.
eventually, my rotom is death fodder, clawitzer and lizard are dead from burn damage (not before clawitzer puts me into red damage w/ aqua jet before dying), and his last mon is malamar.
I had no idea malamar was psychic/dark, aka quad-weak to bug, aka uturn from gliscor into sableye is basically GG on the obvious superpower.
instead of winning the game with "obvious superpower, obvious uturn into sableye" i use toxic, he superpowers, gets the attack/def buff, and then night slashes sableye on the uturn, then survives the second uturn from gliscor after killing sableye with night slash.
and even with all of those horrible obvious mistakes that anyone who just knew what moves, types, and abilties pokemon had -- not even looking at %s or speed tiers or anything -- i only just barely lost due to not using uturn as my penultimate attack.
needless to say, some japanese guy probably had a laugh at some weeb with the name kijin playing like a complete idiot but who
inexplicably has a bunch of extra perfect pokemon he's willing to trade.

Even in game there are other options for all of those types before the 4th gym. Heck Palipitoad has awesome secondary typring (ground), Cottonee/Whimsicott has trickster, and darumaka/darmanitan are just plain awesome. Emboar is yet another Fire/Fighting, and he's the worst firefighting type. Even without speed boost blaziken is better, and infernape is an implement of destruction.Not really.

Serperior at least beats out meganium and maybe sceptile, but just can't compete with Venusaur and Torterra, except for his contrary leafstorm unrealized dreamworld insanity (still probably not as insane as speed boost blaziken).
I try all the starters every gen (Grass then Fire then Water), I always end up with an ironclad attachment to one of them. Gen 1: Bulbasaur, Gen 2: Cyndaquil, Gen 3: Mudkip, Gen 4: Piplup, Gen 5: Snivy.

He's not all that good, just the shiniest of three turds. And having done some emulator testing I can say that the contrary leafstorm bit is not that good. Serperior's coverage on the special side is terrifyingly sad, at least on the physical side he has dragon tail. The coil set is just making the best out of a bad situation. Either way I miss venusaur.i was always confused about how serperior was good. aside from coil and leaf storm, it has no coverage, only leech seed and dual screen for support, miserable attacking stats, and OK defenses. it doesn't get BP for the coil/SD/contrary buffs, and glare got nerfed in XY

that's from gen 4 to gen 5. i have almost all of my gen 4 and earlier legends/bred/shiny pokemon ready on black, but i'm missing zekrom, landorus, thundurus, and have to remove move tutor moves from latios and kyogre before moving them to black. i may do the unthinkable and cheat into existence the thundurus i've pined for since i started playing black after what a nightmare soft resetting for hp ice 31/4/30/31/31/31 tornadus was

yup, have multiples of it, I'm just grinding BW2 to get access to pal park and move them to gen Vhas anyone (Scumbag?) gotten any of the past-gen legendaries unobtainable in x/y? my dex is almost complete but then i found out you have to also have all non-event legends and i wanted to blow my brains out.
otherwise i'm going to start cloning unown and rolling those dice.

yes though I only have 3IV dittos (besides my perfect 6IV shiny jap ditto patiently sitting in Black2 waiting for the bank), but if you borrow me one or the relevant IV maxed carps I'll do it npScumbag what region is your game considered? would you be able to hatch me a perfect magikarp (w/o sp.atk) if I gave you the supplies so i could use it as an attack Water 1/Dragon parent for shiny breeding?

so 6IV magicarp using 5IV and 6IV magicarp, who should hold the everstone?if you could send me a perfect male and the female i send you (I deleted all of my other perfect females), keep the male and whatever other spitbacks for gts or to have an army of perfect gyarados idgaf.
okay then, setting two bidoofs aside for when we meet.
alternatively I can lend you some 5IV stuff I have got from wonder trade if you want to put them to good use while I breed yours, mind you they are the most common ones:
5IV minus speed male jolly anticipation eevee
5IV minus defense female impish trace ralts
5IV minus speed female timid own tempo espurr
5IV minus defense male adamant solar power charmander
just let me know, I'm likely to be offgrid late
tonight and all friday and saturday, but I'll try to be online two hours from now (19PM GMT). it would help me pass my time while I'm offline so now is a good time I guess.
