I have a real rock weakness, but Druddigon beat the first gym by itself. I marked each egg with a shape so I know who sent it. I also used a random online number generator to pick which egg is hatched next. I did not miss a capture yet.

Yeah! 50% of the party is Team Nem! 
Of course I think I contributed more eggs than anyone else, so it's a little easier for my eggs to get picked.
almost everything I bred should have egg moves or HA or something fun, so there's that too.
Also if you get something that needs an item to evolve that you can't find during your playthrough, I'm willing to provide where I can. like I don't recall if you'll find a leaf stone for Exeggcute, so I can give you one when you decide that it's time to evolve it.

Exeggcute is probably going to go to the PC if I get something more interesting. Technically, you can't get a Leaf Stone without either playing the Poke Miles games online or Super Training, and I'd rather not do either one. I could always trade one over, but that's cheating... right?

meh, if you want to use something that needs an evo item you can't find, I'm willing to trade you one when I can. I stuck you with stuff that needs impossible-to-get items, so I don't mind being the workaround. It's not like I'm helping you evolve it right out of the gate anyway, it could easily wait to be evolved at a time where its power scaling would be more appropriate.
It's my fault for not considering that until after I gave you the eggs.
now if I can just remember what else I traded you to make sure I have other items if I need them

Pokemon Global Link for Gen 6 will end in late October. You cannot transfer Poke Miles to Gen 7 games.

On the upside though it's 50% off everything in the pokemiles store from now until the service ends. So you can stock up on stuff until then. They're even selling ability capsules at 5000 miles.
Hi all, so I just finished Gen 1 for the first time in 15 some odd years. I never got into any of the other generations beyond that. As much as I would like to go through and play them all that is a bit too much time that I don't have to commit to. So, was wondering if you all could suggest which of the generations beyond 1 were A.) Most important/relevant to get caught up to where we are now and B.) Which you enjoyed the most, or thought were the best. I'd like to play Sun and Moon when it comes out, but I know there are new mechanics and I'd rather not feel totally lost when I start. That all said I appreciate any and all responses.

Gen 2 (Gold/Silver/Crystal) is a direct sequel to Gen 1, play the Gen 4 remakes Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Is the same as the original G/S/C, but features the physical/special split from Gen 4 which was a big deal.
Gen 3 (Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald) is worth playing, I would check out the Gen 6 remakes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Like HG/SS, they are late gen remakes of the original Gen 3 games the newer mechanics added.
Gen 4 (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum) is largely forgettable, I mean Platinum did some cool things but if you're playing HG/SS you really don't need to play D/P.
Gen 5 is a very good entry, Black and White and their direct sequels Black 2 and White 2. Not many new gameplay mechanics, but a TON of new Pokemon and a stronger emphasis on storytelling/narrative. Kind of a series "reboot", so to speak. I'd recommend playing them both. If you only want to play one, it's a tough call. B2/W2 you will have Gen 1-4 Pokemon available right from the start, but you might not understand the plot as well if you haven't played B/W. Nothing revolutionary here, but a very fun experience.
Gen 6, again, largely forgettable. X/Y is kind of a Pokemon fan service edition, nearly all existing Pokemon are readily available in the game but there's not a ton of new features aside from Fairy type and Mega Evolution. Not very deep and quite cartoony, even for Pokemon. OR/AS is the game to play here, all of the smooth and streamlined Gen 6 gameplay but with a superior region and story.
So:
Heart Gold/Soul Silver
White/Black/White 2/Black 2
Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire
I would play OR/AS last, they permanently retconned a lot of stuff in Gen 6. They changed some Pokemon types with the introduction of Fairy, the super effective chart changed slightly, and the addition of Mega Evolution changed quite a bit in terms of battling mechanics. Even though it's out of chronological order, play Gen 5 first.

I don't think so. I think they are shutting the whole thing down in October for Gen 6.
Edit: I misread... yeah, I guess, but exchanging them for Poke Miles would be dumb unless you want to exchange them in Mauville.

New Sun and Moon news on August 1st.
Wonder if that will be a preview of what is going to be unveiled in the next corocoro issue

This is pretty awesome. Makes it so that I can focus more on nature rather than IVs when SRing for legends.

Do we even know what Hyper Training does exactly? Does it max every single IVs? Or just one? Or it just improves an IV by X points for each bottle cap?
In any way, I think the item required for hyper training will be quite rare, maybe only when you transfer a pokemon from RBY or for event legendaries (like Magearna)
