Whirlpool is a HM in HG/SS.

Ditching Whirlpool worked. Got a whole extra box of shinies and legendaries to work with now. Thanks Seravi.

Done with my living dex with the exception of gliscor (will get tonight) and the remaining mythic distributions. If anyone needs help with something let me know and I'll try my best.

Do you guys like to hatch all 5 eggs you're holding before running to PC, or do you PC run as they hatch? I've always done the latter and I feel like it's more "efficient", but at the same time I want to be lazy sometimes and just... not.

Also aside, having played Gen5 in JP and learning english names after really fucks with me sometimes. I keep looking under B for Boltros instead of T (Thundurus).

If im hatching for multiple copies of one pokemon for multiple builds or a poke ill use a lot (Meowstic, Eevee, etc.), I'll generally run bike routes and replace hatched eggs with the DC person as they hatch. I'll then IV check a whole box and toss the ones I don't need.

If im hatching just one perfect IV mon, ill run until 6 are hatched and then IV check them all at once, discard anything I don't want, and start again if I need to.

As it says on Serebii, this Hoopa has a really short uptime. The event apparently stops next Sunday (9th). Don't forget about it.

[Zealot]

Going to get this Hoopa on all 3 of my carts to go with these Keldeos and Darkrai.

Out of curiosity I wanted to know how many unique models we have so far in ORAS. By my count...

721 pokemon
+48 mega evolutions
+143 "alternate" forms (includes functional ones like Arceus or Deoxys as well as the number-inflating Vivillon, Unown, and Florges lines also including Eternal Floette)
+98 gender differences (no matter how small; if it's on Bulbapedia's page I counted it except Nidoran M/F lines)
+2 Primal Kyogre/Groudon, who weren't included as an alternate form on Bulbapedia.
=1012.

[Gredival]

There are 4,294,967,296 possible Spinda models, plus each possible model can be shiny.

Why do you do this to me. Although yeah I forgot shiny so that's cool I guess.

[Silenka]

Well there goes my plan to get every existing variant of every pokemon model.

Demo out October 18, 2016

[Tyrath]

Meh, no final form no care.

[Zealot]

I like that owl. I might go grass starter for the first time.

[BWYuko]

Can't wait to thunderbolt that stupid seal.

[Scythiroth]

Was not expecting Ash-Greninja to be a thing in the games, how weird.
