Pokemon!

[Rhyela]

I have a question, from this site: http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail ... 5rzW6aZgK3

When they say, "Players will need to have the Pokédex within the game and have no more than 11 Wonder Cards in their possession.", does that mean that we need to have beaten the game and have the National Pokedex? I just got the game recently and am nowhere near beating it, but I'd love to have these neat pokemon.

[Makoes]

No no, it just means you need to have played the game up to the point of getting your pokedex, and there is a limit to how many wondercards you can have, however once you pick up your pokemon from the man in the pokecenter, you can safely delete the wondercard for that pokemon.

Wow...so I feel ripped off...I just bought 4 pokemon games from ebay (ruby sapphire emerald and Leaf green) ...and they are all fake games. Good thing the fire red I bought from a different guy is real

[Makoes]

I'd contact ebay Redith, if someone is selling fake games and trying to pass them off as legit, that's a breach of ebays seller rules. Not to mention illegal.

[Makoes]

Been in a bit of a panic the last week. Couldn't find my black 3DS anywhere...and it had my W2 game in it! I wan't my shiny Dialga in all my B/W games XD

JUST found it!! I'd somehow ended up in the bedroom between the TV stand and the transformer display case!! Was only by chance that I spotted the black 3DS in the shadows! Seriously, these things need to come with beepers!!!

[Rhyela]

I wonder how hard it'll be to get those exclusive 3DS XLs with the mascot pokemon on it? I haven't gotten a 3DS yet and I plan to get one for X and Y, and it would be awesome to get a matching one to go with the game lol.

I also wonder how long it'll be til we get a list of version exclusives...I'm really hoping some of those we've seen so far aren't exclusives, especially Noivern.

[Makoes]

So far the version exclusives are these.

[HunterFTW]

i'm just surprised theyare not doing a bundle like they did with animal crossing.i think i will go with y sense i like the bird more then the deer.

[MaximumOverdrive]

So far the version exclusives are these.

Well that works for me right now. Looking forward to Noivern, Litleo, Honedge and that lil electric lizard thing if it really does evolve into a spitter.

I just saw the trailer for the new movie and I have a question. I could of sworn Mewtwo wiped Ash's mind the last two times they saw each other XD How'd he know who he was?

[Makoes]

Not at the end of Mewtwo Returns.

"Mewtwo asks Ash why he’s helping him, to which Ash replies that you don’t need a reason to help someone in trouble. Mewtwo reflects that Ash may be one-of-a-kind, but Ash says that everyone is. As they reach the heart of the mountain, Ash throws Mewtwo into a healing spring that restores his power, prompting Mewtwo to finally accept that he is a real Pokémon, as the water affects him just as it affected others. The Pokémon clone rises and uses all his psychic powers to move the lake and the spring underground, and then uses his mind-erasing powers to clear Giovanni’s mind of Mewtwo, the clones, and Mt. Quena. Team Rocket are transported away from the mountain, with the exception of Jessie, James and Meowth, who had hidden in a cave during the battle.
Ash, Meowth and various Pokémon convince Mewtwo not to erase their minds as well, because though Mewtwo would mean well to do so to keep knowledge of this natural sanctuary hidden from the destructive tendencies of humanity, Ash assures that he would permanently keep the mountain’s secret unrevealed at any rate. Mewtwo agrees and personally thanks Ash for all his help and understanding, and he departs on his own as all the Clone Pokémon leave to lead life as natural Pokémon in the wild, sending Ash and co. in a Pikachu balloon and Jessie, James and Meowth in their normal balloon. As Ash, Misty and Brock were walking through a city, Ash hears Mewtwo’s voice "I Will remember you always". The narrator concludes the movie with the rumors of a Pokémon who traversed the city at night."

I would like to ask someone's opinion, please. I've been having a heck of a time catching a Trapinch I like (Black 2). I'm wanting one that's basically a wrecking ball, so naturally I've been catching tons of them trying to get an attack stat. I finally got one today! It's Naughty. However, when I compared it to one in my storage (I hang on to them and compare them when I have a few of them), I'm wondering if I shouldn't use the other one instead.

Both are level 21, freshly-caught (no battles yet) and their stats are as follows:

Lucky - Naughty nature / "Strongly defiant" personality
HP: 50
Attack (Boosted): 52
Defense: 25
Sp. Atk: 25
Sp. Def (Hindered): 23
Speed: 10


Nommer - Impish nature / "Likes to thrash about" personality
HP: 54
Attack: 52
Defense (Boosted): 29
Sp. Atk (Hindered): 23
Sp. Def: 24
Speed: 12

When I compare the numbers, Nommer looks like the winner. I'm just wondering if, in the long run, she'd still pull out ahead or if Lucky would eventually come out the winner. I know he'll have the higher attack in the long run, but will all his other stats likely remain lower? I feel it's kinda silly to have sweet attack with everything else lower, when her attack is just as good right now, and all of her other stats are better.

What a conundrum!

[Makoes]

Well, do you want a wrecking ball or a wall?
Lucky will give you the better attack damage, where Nommer will take less physical damage and deal less damage.

You could always give lucky an everstone to hold and breed it for the higher chance at hatching a trapinch with the naughty nature and a better stat dispersal. But also, if you can't see the Hidden values, you could just level them up once and see what the stat growth looks like to get a better idea of how the stats might grow.
