No problem, I gave the Misdreavus to Julius, so I'll breed you another one. I'll give you a shout in a few minutes.

OK, @Julius will open a room now. Code is 1526 7236.

Wait, did you say Porygon? Because that's just happens to be what I caught today! I can breed you one and give you the egg?

Right, I'll hatch those eggs and keep them aside for when you're ready for more trading. I need to update my Pearly Whites now.

Does that actually work? I know X and Y stopped those kind of shenanigans.

Did you seriously use a Master Ball on Dialga!? Have fun catching Mesprit and Cresselia!

Oh right, if any Pokémon wants to learn a move, let's just leave it to the other person to decide. I don't particularly care for the movesets of these Dex fillers.

Fair, that's what I did. And I'll save my Reaper Cloth and just use your Dusknoir to fill my dex.

Nah, at this point, I don't care about the EXP boost. There's a lot of trades we need to do, so I think we should have a schedule so we don't lose track. Here's my suggestion. Start with any trade evolutions. (Dusclops for me, but I'll save the reaper cloth and just use yours to fill my dex) Palkia/Dialga trade back Version exclusive extravaganza! As soon as one of us run out of exclusives (I'm missing three of them), that person should offer the Ditto as a signal, then we finish with a Ditto swap. Sound good? I'll open a room with the code 1364 7231 in a few minutes. Fair warning, the last few version exclusives I have will be in eggs.

Yep, @Julius, I'm available for trading shenanigans now if you want. I need to update my list and get an egg of each one. And yes, swapping Dittos is a fine idea. I'll give you another shout when I'm ready.

I'm gonna assume Smash didn't go ahead last week. So Time Format tonight at 8pm.

Huh, DS Sounds actually changes some Pokémon cries to the Gen 4 versions! Basically, Pikachu and Eevee, so I don't have to listen to their seriously out-of-place voices anymore. That's legit cool!

Clearly, they absolutely did this to weed out any music rips that their ninjas may have overlooked.

I like this.

@Julius, not sure if you already have, but if you have the National Dex, it's well worth your time to go see the development team at Valour Lakefront.

I've got your Misdreavus, try and give me some advance notice for when you're ready to trade, because I might be on Animal Crossing.

It makes no difference, you'll still get 500 for the Pokémon taking part, and 300 for those that didn't, no matter how empty your team is.

So there's this NPC that wants to see a Kecleon, because she has amazing taste. If I remember right, she gives you the Colour Changer Pokétch app. Problem is, Kecleon is a Diamond exclusive! So, Diamond players can get all the apps, but Pearl players need outside help to do the same! Someone proper goofed up with that choice!

Right, I've started filling in the Pokédex proper, so I'm gonna give a list of Pearl exclusives I have that I'd be willing to trade for various Diamond exclusives once I get a Ditto. I'll update it as I get more, but that's what I have now.

I have to wonder if that's the case. It certainly didn't stop them from poking fun at the WiiU in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Not to mention that they love mentioning the Virtual Boy every now and then.

Well, that's interesting, @Dcubed and @Jonnas both seem to dislike Inventor, but like Witch. Meanwhile, @Vileplume2000 and I much prefer Inventor to Witch. Seems the two are quite divisive. My issue with Witch is that you pretty much need at least one turn to set stuff up, which means you'll take damage, and that HP is a precious resource, so the damage builds up. Don't get me wrong, it's fun, but Witch is definitely the character I struggle with the most.

Yeah, Ninty aren't the kind of company to voice their disapproval directly via e-mail. This is bad for Kotick. Let's hope the pressure doesn't end there. Kotick needs to be made entirely untenable.

Sword/Shield did. It was just a lot more elegant. Whenever that game used a full width text box (like in battles), it uses a different one then the traditional white rectangle. Compare that to BD/SP and... It's the same kind of thing, but you notice it more, because it's just the same normal text box, but wider. This game is ridiculously faithful to the DS games, for better or worse. This is what happens when you force a strict timeline on a developer that is new to making Pokémon titles. Corners have to be cut, updates have to be applied to finish the game, etc.

That's been a thing ever since Bank, mainline Pokémon games just don't allow transfer at launch. My guess is they don't want people bringing over their Level 100 teams and steamrolling the game. It will come in time. In regards to that lack of input problem, I can't say I've ever noticed that happening. @Julius, how about you? Ever not been able to interact with stuff?
