Yeah. I mean, on the one hand, I like how simple it is to have the Pokemon names match the species, BUT on the other I like coming up with my own names. It's kinda fun.

Can't you use a repel when you chain?

Repels while chaining are extremely useful, helps your chain because it's not as likely that you'll rin into something to break your chain. Just make sure you have A LOT.

43 Larvesta eggs and counting. Here's to it shining soon!

Good luck. My friend went through 7000 eggs before his Larvesta was finally shiny, but it definitely is worth it trust me.

Hatched my 150 koffing eggs whilst I've been at work today. That takes my total to 600 now and I'm happy with the progress. If I can get this to shine in about a week I'll be delighted!

I see alot of people are starting out on new hunts! MMing and chaining! Best of luck to you guys, really hope you get what you're after!

Hey guys. I haven't been hunting at all since I got my Cyndaquil, which is still named Knuckles. If anyone can think of a better name please tell me! Knuckles just seems so obvious... I also traded Rool over from my bro's SS, so I have both of my starters.

After I get to the Sudowoodo in HG I'm going to switch back to Black and finally get Elgyem. 2160 eggs isis a lot of eggs... Good luck to everybody and their hunts!

I agree. The problem that Pokemon is beginning to have is that they're running out of good ideas.

According to whom? And what objectively defines a "good" idea for a Pokémon?

Vanillite was a step in the wrong direction

Again, according to whom, and based on what?

and if Nintendo goes down that path then the pokemon francise will die.

That's hilarious. "I was not a fan of this particular Pokémon, and as such, if this continues, the franchise is doomed!"

What I personally think is that Nintendo needs to stop making new pokemon

Which they would never do and which they have no reason to do.

they should make some more games along the lines of Colosseum / Gale of Darkness.

So go play those games. Funny thing is that those games were never intended to be replacements for the core titles, as any number of elements they lack can attest.

I agree, the storyline's getting a little too repetitive. I'd rather see something more... evil. And less 'Become teh champion omgz!' stuff.

Despite the fact that Black and White did more with their story than any past game.

I really can't imagine there being more than 1000 pokemon...

However, you likely also said that about 300/500/600/any other numeric milestone they've long since passed. 1000 is just another number. One we wouldn't be due to hit for a good 'nother decade still, but just a number.

You should name him Kronk. Or you could name him FlameVrmin.
 
So, I have beaten Black and I want to start getting Shinnies by the Mesuda Method. But, I was wondering, is there some like good pokemon to the start out with? Like, something easy to hatch? I want to know because I have never tried/really care about shinnies.

I wanted to know the same thing. Don't want to put myself on an MM hunt that I'll never succeed at. D:
 
Oh(Now I think I can for once call myself stupid) but what does MM(ing) stand for. Plus, any other abbreviations.

MM - Masuda Method. Take two compatable pokemon from different languages and the odds of shiny eggs is increased.

SR - Soft Reset. Intereact with a pokemon and press L+R+Start+Select to reset game if it's not shiny

RNG -Really Not Good

MMing stands for Masuda Method, which is breeding two pokemon of foreign languages together. I don't think there's any other abbreviations. Also, a good pokemon to MM is Patrat. It only has 16 eggs cycles, so it hatches fast. There's others, but I can't thunk of them right now...

Edit: Ninja'd twice... and there's also RE, which is random encounter.
