Exactly, and heck, Shinx's name is based on the Sphinx (I really have NO idea how to spell that >.>), like, from Egypt, you know, the half person half lion thingy? .. I fail at explaining things.

I don't think they were confirmed to be foxes, seeing as not all of them have fox-like attributes, like Espeon, which is very cat-like, so its still up in the air on what the Eeveelutions are. Actaully, a friend of mine pointed out a while ago that Umbreon looks like a cabbit, a cat-rabbit hybrid, and to be honest, she did have a point...

One thing that REALLY drives me insane is the Legendary Dog/Cat/Beast arguement about Raikou, Suicune and Entei. I HATE it when people call them cats or dogs, THEY ARE BOTH DAMNIT, Entei is a Chinese Lion Dog, Raikou is a Japanese mythical lightning demon that can transform into animals (Including both cats and dogs) and Suicune is a Maned Wolf-Cheetah-Unicorn-Possibly Asian Dragon hybrid. So.. There.

Claire's dragon team gave me a bit more of a fight, but between my feraligatr's ice fang, and my altaria's dragon breath, I was able to get her team on the 6th try. My altaria has poor stats for fights...its really high in def/s.def...and speed...yay, a fast wall!
Yay for Larvitar!! Gah those things are just too adorable, aren't they? I also have an Altaria in my Platinum game, she's really useful! I mean, she can't even come close to the fighting prowess of either my Flygon (My favourite, and I hate how Flygon always gets forgotten cause everyone's too busy spazzing over Salamence and Garchomp >.>), Salamence (Not that I don't love this guy! XD) or Garchomp (I do happen to adore my Garchomp too, but.. my Flygon is still mah little baby <3) but I adore her anyway~

Gah, I know how you feel with missing Battle Revolution, I'm vacationing in Hawai'i right now and argh do I miss that game. .. Yes, I'd rather be playing a Pokemon game than going outdoors and spazzing out in Hawai'i. .. What can I say? I'm obsessed.

I'm currently trying to get an Umbreon myself in SoulSilver.

I got the gift Eevee and have been doing the Happiness increasing method of attaching a Soothe Bell and then biking up and down a long road for hours. xD

I know Eevee is at the max bracket of Happiness right now (I checked at one of those people who can tell you the level of that), but it just seems to be taking forever to actually evolve. x__x I'm hoping tonight I'll finally get it.

Hah, it took me about a day's worth of training my Eevee before she evolved! Gah, it took forever.

Also, are you just trying to raise it's happiness? Or are you leveling it up too? Cause Eevee will only evolve into Umbreon if it levels up with high happiness, between 8 PM and 4 AM. (Though I'm sure you already know this =P)

Yup, right now I'm just trying to raise its happiness. ^^ I don't really want him to get much higher in level before evolving. I know I'm on the right track because I watched his happiness level raise as I did my biking circuits, but now I'm in that final stage and he's just refusing to turn into Umbreon! xD

Hopefully tonight he will though.

Hehe, I see. I mostly just leveled my Eevee up like crazy, since I wanted her to be the same level as the rest of my team so I could get on with my adventure as soon as possible.

Good luck with evolving the little guy! And yeah, I know the whole "I'm at max happiness but I still refuse to evolve!" stage, my Eevee leveled up at least 4 times at max happiness without evolving XD

Haha, well that's actually reassuring to hear! I keep asking myself if I had somehow missed the evolution and like cancelled it, lol. :lol: At least it'll eventually happen if I keep at it. x)

ya happiness evolutions are a pain. I had to level a golbat thru 18 levels to get him to evolve in Emerald. I even gave him a lotta proteins and crap like that.......wound up becoming Crobat at lvl 60 lols. I taught him Thief so I can try to get a Dragon Scale (for Kingdra). btw.....does Thief still steal the item if it one-shots the opponent? (the Pokemon I'm targetting are Bagons.....tho Horseas have em too)

Woo, Eevee successfully evolved into Umbreon last night! ^_^ Took forever, but I'm glad that's over with, lol.

Now I'm going to try to catch a Larvitar today....ugh. Did not have any luck yesterday. I only want a male one, and they're rare enough to find as it is. Then all of my catching attempts ended up with them failing or running away. -.-

when people go hunting for a rare pokemon, and are seeking a certain gender...why not just catch whichever gendered one appears first and breed it with a ditto?

Congrats on the Umbreon Veph! :D YAY FOR UMBREONS!! XD

And oi do I know how you feel about catching Larvitars, it took forever to catch mine, but damn was he worth it! He recently took down Red's lvl 84 Charizard, when he's only lvl 57 himself, Stone Edge+Ridiculously high attack power+Charizard being ridiculously weak to Rock=Freaking epic Tyranitar and one dead Charizard XD

And Makoes, sometimes that just takes the fun out of it, whats the fun in breeding to get egg moves+the right nature? I seriously just could've traded a female Cyndaquil over to Platinim and breeded for a good one along with breeding the rest of my team, but theres no fun in that for a totally new game like this; its practically unfair! Thats why I went with catching each and everyone of my main team in SoulSilver and just went with how they were! No "OMG THATS A FAIL NATURE I'M GONNA TREAT IT LIKE CRAP AND RELEASE IT CAUSE IT HAS NO USE LOLOLOLOLOL" like some people who play this game, idiotic elitist jerks who only care about being the best and treat their Pokemon like mindless fighting drones. Only times I've had to tried to better natures is when I was catching my Lugia and my Suicune, but thats different seeing as they're stationary Legendaries, Raikou on the other hand, jeez I sure was lucky to get a good nature for him XD

Gratz Veph :) Umbreon is one of my fav eevolutions! Dark pokemon are awsome!!!

I think you missed what I was saying Senna :) I ment for rare pokemon like larvitar and vulpix, when you want a certain gender, why not just catch the first wild one you find, and breed it with a ditto to get the gender you want. Throw in a pokemon that knows magma armor to decrease the steps to hatch, and saves time hunting wild ones.

As for natures/personalities/stats...well, you dont use a ditto for that uber breeding. I've only ever breed up one team thats had specific natures/personalities/stats, to make an uber team, but since my Battle revolution game is currently in the "I don't know" location, I havent been able to actually test it out yet.

Besides, if I was one of those people who tossed out pokemon cuz they were the wrong combination, I wouldnt be running around with a high def/s.def high spd Altaria!

Well... My point kinda was that I'd rather just actually catch my Pokemon instead of breeding in this case, makes the achievement of catching the one you want even better!!

Yay! Grats again Veph! Enjoy your adorable little Larvitar! XD Seriously, those things can be freaking epic *Hugs her Tyranitar*

Indeed... When I saw it could learn Fly, I couldn't pass it up. It made me giggle everytime I used it.

Go to talk to Copycat in Saffron and she'll mention she's missing her favorite Doll. You then have to go to Vermillion City and I think it's the house next to the Pokemon Center. Talk to the guy inside and he'll give you the doll. Take it back to Copycat and she'll give you her pass. I believe you can only do this after you've gotten all 8 Kanto badges.
