411, Honoguma!!!!!!!

Nice name! Good luck with Haxorus - I hope you get it the way you want it! Not sure why a Masterball is needed on a guaranteed shiny, but you know a lot more than I do on this one, so I'll trust your judgement. :)

It will make an awesome troll video if your title is something like "OMG SHINY HAXORUS ON FIRST SR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" :D

412,

A Master Ball would guarantee capture instantly so I can check it's nature and IVs without having to fight it for 20 minutes before I finally catch it. I never use these things anyway and I have two of them.

But I've made preparations so I shouldn't need to use it and can use the Ball of my choice.

I'd like to make a video like that, and was going to use "special music" but seeing as half my followers are going to see my video without actually making it there in-game, I decided not to do anything -too- special and just use my shiny Pokemon to capture it. I imported one of my favorites that can status it for easier capture, so I won't have to use my plain Electivire. :)

413, ah, okay. I usually save mine for Gravellers and the sort, but saving time for IVs/nature sounds like a really good idea, too.

Good luck!

414,

dammit you got 413 lol

I got exactly what I want; a Jolly Haxorus with a perfect speed IV. :)

I used my Magnezone as a gauge; If the Haxorus had the right nature and higher speed IV, It'd be faster. But if Magnezone went first, automatic SR.
It wasn't perfect though, as it was about a 4 point difference so sometimes I'd get one that wasn't perfectly fast. One time I did, but wrong Speed+ nature. :P

But I kept trying and eventually got what I wanted, and phew - the rest of the IVs are fantastic too. I can't wait to use this thing.

I took some video too, as I said. I haven't edited it yet, but I should get it uploaded sometime tomorrow. :)

So... now I'm poking around trying to get the Japanese Pokemon I want from the GTS, and I've started PokeTransferring Kanto Pokemon and/or starters + legends I still don't have on W2. I haven't cracked Diamond yet (pun not intended) but when I do my boxes are going to fill like crazy.

Though, having to delete HM moves is such a pain... And not being able to transfer items too? That's worst of all. Now I have to collect up all those Orbs and Bands, Scarf, Specs again....

415, what's significant about 413?

Congrats!! Having a good IVed one will be awesome to have in battle! :)

You can't trade items for BW2? "lol" getting those IV-passing on items takes forever, haha. I spent something like two weeks in the Battle Subway for them in Black!

"lol" @ Diamond pun

416,

no I'm still alive, lol. I just ran out of bandwidth.

413 is a significant number in Homestuck.

Yeah, you can trade over items from Black & White. But it doesn't matter when I don't have them there... It makes me mad that we can't bring them from 4th Gen. That's where all my stuff is at....

Either way, I got the Shiny Charm. Definitely overreacting on it. I haven't found a single one with it yet. Let's just call them Charm Shinies, kind of like Radar Shinies.
I've already encountered like 400-500 Pokemon though, if not more. Nothing. ._.

418, thank you. :)

And yes. I have. lololol it helps when you already have them all on the 4th Gen games, though I had to import a few from 3rd Gen and then catch a few in White; I had to catch Heatran and another Rotom, and then the last Pokemon I had to catch was Cherrim because somewhere I don't know where my Pokemon went?????? I caught all the Sinnoh Pokemon but half of them were missing... I checked all my carts. Nada. So I had to catch Cherrim in White, trade, and then breed for Cherubi. Then done.

I also had to catch the Kanto Bird Trio in HeartGold because I traded off the 3 I had imported from fireRed like 3-4 YEARS ago and never caught any more. Moltres always gives me a hard time. At night, asleep, in a cave, with a Dusk Ball and it still took like 40 of them lol x.x

419, you forced me to go to the topics list to find the thread again, and I saw that we're on page 42!! :D

Woah, that's absolutely incredible! I mean, the game hasn't even been out for a month yet, and you've MANAGED TO ACQUIRE EVERY SINGLE POKEMON!! EVERY LAST ONE!! Dude, that's 630+ Pokemon to have go have on your game!!! Way to go - I bet you're one of the first people in the world to get the Shiny Charm!!

EDIT: Happy birthday, counting thread! We've been doing this for exactly one year today, and we've managed to count to 419! :D

420, suddenyl, weed dreams


Happy Birthday thread! lol

And thanks for the congratulations. Unfortunately, I definitely wasn't one of the first.

Also, I still need Arceus, Meloetta and Genesect to truly "have them all". All I gotta do is accept Genesect in the Pokemom Center though. Somehow I missed out on all the Arceus giveaways but I'm sure they'll be more.
