How does friend codes work?

I got the game(s) last night and had tons of funtimes.

You all know about the free torchic, yes?

[Espeonage]

There is an orange box on the home screen and you can add people by putting in their friend code and after they put yours into their 3ds, you will be friends.

As for me. My FC is 5386-7913-3352
I have Paras, Illumise and Vivillon.

I also run a trading shop on Smogon, currently sotcking perfect Spiritombs (Both hidden and normal abilities in Adamant, Bold and Calm), Surskits (Calm), and Gothitas (Timid with Shadow Tag). But I have a bunch of other perfects and almost perfects. If peeps want anything I might be able to work something out.

How do i find out my safari type? Or is it too soon? (Only at after first badge)

[Espeonage]

You ask people that have gone through your friend safari. Not sure how far you have to be though the game for people to get your safari.

[Klazam]

Hey Nati, did you know they're thinking of banning SR?

[animorpherv1]

Banning SR would be interesting, and Sticky Web would certainly become more of a thing. I'd be willing to say that tiers would shift really drastically.

[Natirasha]

Hey Nati, did you know they're thinking of banning SR?

I've heard the rumors, yeah.

It's weird, as much as I don't like a SR ban, of

every

ban since Speed Boost Blaziken or Gen IV Garchomp, this is the one I agree with the most. If you go by the classical Wizards definition of "something so meta-forming that you either use it or you run a specific counter to it" then this makes perfect sense. On the other hand, I think the counterplay that Stealth Rock provides is actually interesting--it does hurt some 'mons, sure, but it also brings in roles like Spin-Blocker and Spinner to the meta--in a way, Stealth Rock helps enable an entire plethora of support roles that otherwise would not exist. With the addition of Defog, who knows what'll happen. I know for a fact that right now, there is nowhere near enough Stealth Rock in the format. That's ignoring the fact that the meta

has

self-regulated this specific issue to the point where you have to be retarded to not consider Stealth Rock in your team.

[Espeonage]

SR isn't going to be banned. The people with Power at smogon see it as having a completely safe place in the metagame, especially with the buffed Defog. The unanimous vote for level 100 simulator went a long way in establishing a precedent of isn't broke, don't fix it and there is no way that stealth rock will get out of that category as it was esentially nerfed going in to this generation.

Also, sticky web is not as good as you might expect in OU, the reason being that half the stuff in the tier isn't effected. It does do alot to bring some strng things out of control, but it doesn't hit the latis or either dos. And is easily defog'd away.

Exp share in this game is seriously too good. I'm playing normally and i have level 25-27's. I havent even gotten to badge #2.

[My Milked Eek]

I had it turned off and I set the switching to set. Made the game just right concerning levels.

Pretty much this.

[Klazam]

I'm just gonna rotate between several teams.

[Klazam]

by the way, there was somebody interestied in collecting different regional vivillions, yes? I have a japanese scatterbug

The gap between badge 1 and 2 is massive though, to be be fair.

[Klazam]

And I am realizing that just now. Still havent reached badge #2

It may be me, but I've noticed this tends to be standard fare - at least, the distance between gyms 1 and 2 in DPP is pretty large.

[Klazam]

Eh. Me hitting lv 30 on the full team before badge 2 isnt something that i've experienced before.

[Espeonage]

Technically gen 1 you could go to post SS. Anne before you had to face Misty.

That said it is a quite large gap between because they introduce alot of the little sub things you can do in that time and it's usually when people discover all the cool netplay. I spent three hours Wonder Trading and ended up with a lvl 1 mawile just after the first gym that is now my first level 100.

[Klazam]

I did hundreds of wonder trades-.- chaining them all- i have an all japanese team that i plan to mold in a decent sandstorm team. I try my best to put out halfway decent pokemon- the crappy ones i get i keep, on principle.

[Klazam]

Also, level 1 jap absol. Yeaaa
