You have to pass by someone who has it unlocked. It's a hidden mirage spot with a very tiny chance of opening up every day.

Oh, with StreetPass or something?
btw having both Lati-s during the Elite 4 was REALLY helpful. I tought Lvl. 55 Latios Earthquake to beat Steven's Mega Metagross, and Soul Dew on a Latias carried me through the entire fight with Drake. too ez.

Dragons in general pretty much wreck the elite 4 in those games. The one place they get a little trouble is the ice woman

I just had a level 100 shiny Milotic on my emerald play through which did all the work.

Get recked peeps, level 100 Shiny Gyarados doing all the work in Silver.

I... I have a level 20 or so Shiny Audino that I've been meaning to train for a while... That's something, right?
Also, nicknamed it Doc Audio, because reasons.

I think I have a shiny Pidgey and a shiny sentret. Having multiple ds's means I can just trade everything around till I get all three starters and start having fun.

I stopped playing Pokemon though because of the bloody EV and IV points. I'm obsessive compulsive about that so it just ends up becoming this massive pointless grind.

Well one of those craigslist guys got back to me with a spreadsheet. Had like, almost four thousand junk commons and uncommons worth between twenty cents and a dollar.
He did have a 5th ed Sylvan Library, 4th ed Land Tax, 10th ed Crucible of Worlds, Vampiric Tutor, Enlightened Tutor and a Lion's Eye Diamond... but that only comes out to like $200. He wanted $500 or nothing and, well, not paying that. Sent him back an email letting him know he had a couple of things of worth that he shouldn't throw out but that I wasn't interested in anything else.
Maybe he'll give me a deal on those but I doubt it, at the very least I might have stopped him from throwing out two hundred bucks.

...and here I havent played pokemanz since I was 10 and yellow version had just come out after I ground a pikachu in that one forest on my neighbors red version... Makes me want to play golden sun though.
May 11, 2015 4:07 a.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #12
Golden Sun was definitely fun. I never finished that game. I lost my save file. I wanted to play the sequel too.
May 11, 2015 4:14 a.m.
I think I only have the sequel... Was my brothers.. I lost my copies a long time ago.. No idea how I got his... Just gotta dig up the code generator so I can have all the items from the first game.
May 11, 2015 4:37 a.m.
Femme_Fatale says... #14
You can get the first game for free on your pc really easily. Just do a search for "VisualBoy Advance Emulator" and you'll find one. Then do a search for "Golden Sun GBA Rom".

On pokemon does anyone even know what a Milotic is and how rare it is?

y u guys hating?
I'm derpy, but EDH is where I shine
May 11, 2015 10:39 a.m.
bijschjdbcd - I do. And they are not rare at all. You need to jump through a few hoops to evolve a feebas but it isnt hard. In older generations it was difficult but nowadays it's not.
Reference: I have a full pokedex on Black 2. All of them. And nearly, nearly a full NATIONAL 'dex. I had to use hax to get those stupid legendaries that you can only get from events (arceus, genesect) but every single nonlegendary I obtained myself.

Was talking about Emerald, Which was a superb pain in the bum.
Not to mention a shiny one.

I'm not saying you're not allowed to build Damia.
Just don't bring shame to her.
May 11, 2015 10:44 a.m.
I try to get perfect IVs on my legendaries in the relevant stats. So on Zapdos I want perfect IVs in speed and special attack, for example. I have a few legendaries where I just turned the game off and on again until I had caught the big legendary of the game with sufficient IVs. It only takes some patience. EV training isn't hard. I enjoy that.

My PlayStation 2's player 1 controller port refuses to respond. I really hope I don't have to put my favorite console down.

Personally I prefer IV breeding to EV training. 6 IV Dittos will do that for you, I suppose.

Finally got level 30 on league of legends. Just finished my placement games and I'm currently ranked silver 5. I will get to gold. I will. After finals week...

GoldGhost012 I loved PS2. My one of my all time favourites was made for it: Shadow of the Colossus!

Ico? No, sadly I haven't. I've always meant to acquire the remastered version of both games for my PS3 but never got around to it.
May 11, 2015 12:55 p.m.
I wasn't even aware of EV training in pokemon until long after I had quit playing the series. Stopped after Sapphire. I remember getting Blue and my brother getting Red all the way back when they were first released and we were kids. Awesome, awesome game. Still have Blue in working condition.
The whole EV training thing just seemed stupid to me though. Felt like it took away from the real point of the game. At that point, who cares what pokemon you have if they all have maxed specialized stats. Having a Zapdos' with max Speed and Spec Attack is the same as having an Electobuz' with max Speed and Spec Attack. Except one can't use fly. Doesn't even matter anymore.
May 11, 2015 2:13 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 says... #32
Well, not quite. All the Pokemon have different base stats, so Electabuzz will still be slower.
May 11, 2015 2:25 p.m.
Yep. All pokemon all still have different base stats so it doesn't change the game at all. You get +40 to some stats that you want and that's it. It doesn't change the game much at all.
May 11, 2015 2:27 p.m.
I guess. The whole concept of creating a dream team in pokemon just seems like so much work.
Figure out what six you want, figure out what moves you want. Then you've gotta catch em, with the right gender, and breed em. Sometimes you have to breed em through multiple generations to get the right move set. Then you've gotta grind hundreds of thousands of in game money to buy hundreds and hundreds of those stat increasing items, give em to em every level, and get em to 100.
And then you gotta do it five more times.
It just seems like by the time you get your dream team to 100, the next game will be out already.
May 11, 2015 2:28 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 says... #36
So, all of the grinding is entirely for the competitive scene. If you're just playing casually, play however you like. But if you're going to be in a tournament, to win, you gotta be netdecking... Er, EV training and IV breeding, yeah, that.
But seriously, it's just a game, play however you want.
May 11, 2015 2:32 p.m.
Apparently in order to get some (3) legendaries in ORAS, you have to have 3 Pokemon with MAX EVS. THEY MAKE YOU EV TRAIN. FO SHIZZLE. (They're also specific to certain days; like one you can only catch on Thursdays, and so on) But there are a LOT of legendaries in ORAS. Good thing I'm sick, now I have time to catch 'em all.
May 11, 2015 2:45 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 says... #39
Yeah, they do that, but they also give you a really easy way to EV train in that game. To be honest, that's what made me start EV training.
May 11, 2015 2:49 p.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #40
Actually, you can get those Legendaries (the Musketeer trio) with your in-game Pokemon you've trained for the Elite 4. By the time you beat the Elite 4, most of your Pokemon should have all the 510 EVs it needs for the Mirage Island to appear.

kyuuri117 pokerus/power items/destiny knot all make breeding a pokemon with a specific nature/Iv/move set take may be 2hrs including maxing the evs.
May 11, 2015 2:53 p.m.
Yeh your pokemon accrus Evs naturally so you wont need to do that.
May 11, 2015 3:27 p.m.
Anyway, what's up with not being allowed to add tracking or delivery confirmation to international shipping?
Just started a pucatrade account a few days ago, and just sent out a bunch of stuff... but I can't do anything I these people try and scam me. Who thought no tracking internationally was a good idea?
May 11, 2015 4:52 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #44
The puca admins will probably be able to help you out. They can probably reimburse points, and if the other person didn't add tracking, from what I hear, they tend to lose those sorts of cases.
May 11, 2015 4:56 p.m.
No i mean, i sent my cards out. But the guy at the post office, the head guy, said I cannot add tracking if it's international.
May 11, 2015 4:58 p.m.

'Twas a piece of cake. Ending surprised me, though. Now I'm on a Mirage Spot hunt. Already got Heatran; and I accidentally killed P Groudon, Ho-oh, and Mesprit without saving before. Anyone know how to get Cresselia? That's the only one that I can't find out how on the internet.
