Pokémon

I'm on

Communication error. Try again.

yeah I got it too
this might take a few tries
I have to use neighbors net since I got a new router and the DS is incompatible with it

fucking communication errors
what pisses me off is I can connect to the GTS just fine

still out there nacho?
I had a semi decent connection for awhile but you never contacted me to trade

doesn't look like it
I guess we'll try another time

Sorry, I kind of got tired of trying to trade with you and left.

oh ok
uh I'd appreciate it if you let me know next time instead of just disappearing

Sorry, you'd been gone for so long I assumed that was what you did.

gone?

eh it was probably connection issues
I was "on" wifi most of the time
I guess it just wasn't connecting right

Can I trade with someone to evolve my Graveller and Machoke? I mean..Gurdurr and Boldore. Yes.

Sure, I have a Boldore I need to evolve, too.

So how should we go about it? I haven't used the new system yet.

I think we need eachother's friend codes and then we can go to the Pokemon center and trade by entering eachother's codes if we're both on. I'm just guessing though. I've never used it either and I'm in the middle of a gym so I can't check at the moment.

I just beat the main story, thankfully. MUCH better story in this game than in any previous game, and the marathon battle at the end was legitimately hard for my all-46 team. I particurarly loved how Seismitoad ate a Giga Drain and lived at 1 hp...then used some poison move to crit and 1-shot my Lilligant. GRR. Or maybe the three crit Dragon Pulses in a row from what is now my arch-enemy of hatred.

Final team was:
Lilligant level 47
Fraxure level 46
Durant level 46
Samurott level 47
Sillyglyph level 46
Darminitan level 49 - <3 you, you crazy monkey thing you.

While a lot of the pokémon designs seem to have gotten less ridiculous in this generation of Pokémon, the same can't be said for their names...

It's crazy all across the board, I'm afraid.

it looks to me like half of shadows names are actually nicknames
though I don't know gen 5 well enough to be very sure

Nope, those are all the real names.

I beat the final thingy too. Final team was:
Excadrill level 48
Throh level 48
Vanilluxe level 48
Darminitan level 49
Chandelure level 49
Ferrothorn level 48
