They could finally be giving Eevee a normal evolution, I wouldnt mind that really either. I'd like it to be that new "Light" type or Normal personally. Flying to me doesnt fit it, when I think flying.. I think wings and I'd like for it to have wings if it was flying. xD It could be fighting but.. it looks a bit on the girly side to be a fighting type, and I dont know how it'd fight unless it used those bows as whips but since Mienshao already does that it'd feel like a copy just in fox-creature form.

It is possible, of course. But it seems unlikely. I honestly wouldn't mind if it is despite what I said in my previous post. :P

I personally dont see whats wrong with eevee having a normal-type evolution. It is after all just a basic pokemon, so it'd be weird for it to have every type under the sun EXCEPT it's own as say, an ordinary level up, via a shiny stone or oval stone, or an item + trade. Eevee is rediculiously weak as it stands so for people who adore Eevee for Eevee, why force them to run with a pokemon they love but is crapterrible in combat? Normal types have a place in the pokemon battle universe too and no normal types resemble Eevee in any way for there to be a compromise between look + stat. The evolution doesnt need to be overpowered or anything, just something better then the cruddy stats Eevee gets so it can at least hold its own against some enemies (since its pretty much, without making use of EV's and items an easy kill).

Hell, Eevee's stats are akin to a Baby pokemon. It's stats may be a little more rounded out then the others but nothing shines for it while pokemon like Elekid, Riolu have strong stats where it counts most. Baby pokemon will never be good defense wise, but Riolu, Elekid, and Magby are superior to Eevee (not as a whole but each individual has something that trumps Eevee) in attack, speed, and special attack.

What on earth... Was that taken out of a magazine? Cause it looks like it. Sure, the titles seem different, but I'm not going to pass on the games because of the *titles*. .___.

Yet another new team for my Black game. Went for the pokémon I don't usually choose. I'm also finally trying to catch one of every pokémon I run into, which I've never bothered to do before. It's more fun than I'd thought. So far I have:

Pignite (Micky)
Drilbur (Jane)
Woobat (Nathen)

I'll be picking up a Garvantula, Haxorus (until I can get a Deino anyway) and Lilligent when I run into them. I have to wonder how I'll even get a Lilligent though, seeing as I don't have anything that can surf... Either way, I like this team better than the last one I had planned. More... unusual, I guess? And Nathen already kicks butt despite being tiny and fuzzy, which makes me happy deep inside.

Okay, so last night I felt a bit down. So I decided to load up my pokemon games to trade some pokemon around. (I long ago decided that my Black cartridge would keep all the pokemon that I've ever liked and that Black wouldn't ever be rebooted.) I remembered I had to trade some 'mons from White to Black, when I got distracted and decided I needed to reorganize my boxes. Again.

So here I am, playing with my boxes, when I realize a few pokemon need leveling. Cyndabloom, Scarab, and this tiny little espeon named Solara. Have at it. Leveling in the Stadium when I remember I have like 900 odd rare candies lying around. (I tried to get a friend to hack me up a shiny axew. No axew, but I have 900 of pretty much everything. This cartridge is the friggen best.)

Five minutes later, and I have a lvl 100., Hardy espeon who is a little quick tempered named Solara. And wow okay it made me really, really happy because the traits fit her beautifully--anyone who knows Solara knows she's tough, determined, and doesn't quit. Hardy, even. And she's quick to act and gets snappy pretty easily--or, quick tempered. Essentially, it made me really happy I had this espeon.

So now I have a level 100 Solara just chilling in my party and it really made my night that much better.

Guys I'm going insane. I've been so determined to get a shiny Vulpix over the last few days. Well, technically it's the shiny Ninetales I'm after, but Vulpix is my only way to get it in SoulSilver. So I've been using that repel trick... for about 12 hours in total now over the course of three days. I'm going INSANE. I'm seeing shiny Vulpix in my dreams. This is like the Time-Lost and Aeonaxx hunts all over again. D: Can someone tell me something comforting? I know I could be hunting a loooooooooong time still... but I've never caught my own shiny before, never even seen one...

:hug: I've never caught a shiny either, the ONLY shiny I saw was at the very start of.. Black 2 I think? When the professor goes and catches the wild Pokemon. I wanted to throw my DS >.<

Oh my god... I would die. D: I have a shiny Raikou but it's a fake one that I just transferred off the second-hand copy of Diamond I bought last week. I don't count it though since I'm aware it's not a real one. And of course there's the red Gyarados... xD Blargh. But, if it makes you feel better... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRt-SMFnKZI

I saw a shiny tentacool in my old Silver but I didnt have a single pokeball with me. :|

On a good note though, I've been lucky with shinies but never the ones i like.

I had a shiny magmar from a trip to the safari zone i traded (and evolved) as asked by my bf in trade for his legit Victini since mine was lost a year ago when the game and DS was stolen (he is currently obsessed with cotton candy colored magmortar's......). I have a shiny sandslash i've had since ruby, shiny throgh or whatever the fak it is when i was zippin' around route 23 in White 2, and a shiny golem from diamond.

I have AR cheated shiny Arceus, Dialga, Palkia, Darkrai, Shaymin that all came at lvl 5 with some man-made cheat. XD

I have 2 legit gamefreak shiny suicunes and non-shiny (/sad) gamefreak celebi's, all 4 of which have yet to be used for their specific intent.

Once i finish the white treehollow i'll have a shiny dratini and when i see the last couple annoying pokemon in white 2, i can go visit the nature reserve and soft reset-spam the shiny haxorus in there until i get the right nature and characteristic i want (god help me @_@)

I would give up the golem, throgh, and dratini though for something i actually fricking like though. I have yet to see if i can fix my AR to work on windows 8 so i can cheat shinies like Hydreigon and Ninetails but im hoping when i get around to it, it'll work. Truthfully i'm not huge on most shiny pokemon. Theres a lot i like, but the ones i'm not fond of i really, wholly, am not fond of and will gladly huck them at someone else for something i like.

Yeah, a lot of shinies look... meh. There's loads of green ones that look kinda sickly. My friend randomly got a shiny Nidoran female and Nidoqueen looks deadly ill. xD

I don't really care much for shiny Pokemon. I mean yeah they are nice when you stumble on one but I don't go out of my way to get one.

Yea the color choices of a lot of them are really.. interesting..

I feel so bad for milotic. She looks young and beautiful as a normal sprite. The shiny looks like an old lady.

Hydreigon is probably among the only shinies i go nuts for. I genuinely do not like the colors of its normal sprite but adore the sprite itself and the shiny version. Thats one of the reasons i want my AR to work again. I had a cheated shiny hydreigon in the game that was stolen. The AR was stolen with it and it so when I had to buy a new one and it didnt have the codes, i had to figure out how to get the AR to work with Windows 7 but the computer couldnt read the AR no matter what slot you plugged it into and how often you tried. Sat for months trying to contact the company but never got through.

Currently the AR does not work at all. It needs to be restored to factory settings which can only be done via computer. Why they stopped making install discs I have no idea but I HATE it.

Even having an install disc does not seem to work for Win7...I haven't been able to get my AR to work on my PC yet, and my Laptop got busted and it was the computer with XP that the AR worked on before.../sigh

Shinies for me are hit/miss. Some are really awesome like Rayquaza (OMG GIMME!!!!!), Bisharp, haxorus, charizard, Umbreon...etc, but others like Nidoqueen, Ursaring, Roselia, etc are misses (imo).

The first shiny I ran from was weepinbell because I was almost dead, and then tried to find it again because i didn't know that shinies where just rare recolors and thought it was a rare pokemon only found in that area...And then in B2 when in the sewer with whats-her-name she KO'd a shinny Rattatta...

Never seen a shiny in-game that wasn't a scripted one (the red Gyarados). I'd love to happen across one some day, even a fugly one- and I admit, there are a lot of shinies I'm just not a big fan of. I'd still rework my team to fit around it, honestly. xD
