Not To Complicate Things...

I know we have yet to fully execute our tourney plans, but I had this thought last night while talking with Pernell and I wanted to see what everyone else thought... What if on top of and separate from our main contest, we also have a "little cup?" I think everyone would agree that all of the strategies we generally use against each other fly out the window in a little cup setting and maybe it could be kinda fun. Let me know what you think.

I Know You'll Be Mad, But...

So guess who caught another shiny while working on his newest pokemon project? That would be me! I don't have any explanation for it other than sheer luck because I wasn't even chaining at the time. For anyone keeping track, my bred shiny count is still at 2, but my wild caught shiny count is now 5 (even though I traded one away) and my total shiny count is 13.

Brawl Codes

Um... so yeah, there's Pokemon in Brawl, so... this is legitimate.
Post your Friend Codes! :)

Video Gaming Goodness...

Hey All,
My girlfriend will be at a conference next Saturday, March 15th, leaving me with the perfect opportunity to have you all over to play until...we get tired of it. Now as much as I enjoy pokemon, I doubt we could make 6+ hours of nothing but pokemon battles. However, with the new Smash available to all of us (but I will definitely have a copy, so at best I'd only need someone to bring a copy of controllers), I don't think we'd have any problems gaming the night away. By the way, this is approximately where I live in case you've never been or forgot. Unfortunately, my exact address doesn't show up on any internet map, so just follow Oldstone Rd in the direction of I-70 and you'll run into my complex after the unnamed road that curves toward the right.

Also, I was thinking of getting 2 or 3 pizzas and pop (I'm from the midwest, dammit) for everyone's consumption, however, if you'd like to bring over any alcohol for the rest of us to drink, I'm sure that would be greatly appreciated. If next Saturday works for everyone, can you RSVP via reply to this post?

P.S. Maybe if you guys have worked on pokemon you plan to challenge other gyms with, we can actually do some "official" gym battles.

PokeHelp - Level Up moves without Associated Levels

Being new to the whole breeding and training thing, I have come across a problem with movesets. In an example that is very near and dear to my heart, Dusknoir is listed as learning Thunder Punch as a level up move, and yet neither it, nor any of it's prevolutions, learn Thunder Punch as a level up move. The level it apparently learns it at is '-' which leads me to believe it inherits it from a prevolution (as this is the case with many other pokes) and yet as mentioned, no such Thunder Punching Duskull or Dusclops exists.

What gives?
