Blessed Blade Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Only event Pokemon you can nickname are the ones you don't get directly via Mystery Gift, because of the OT issue as mentioned above. =P If you catch themyourself, like Darkrai and Shaymin from Gen 4,or Victini in Gen 5, then that works, otherwise, nah.

Takanuinuva Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Oh ya. I forgot about that rule. I really wish they would abolish it. Especially when transferring Pokemon between generations. I have some Pokemon that I want to change there nicknames but can't cause of this. I doubt they'll fix this in Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire. But I hope anyways. Quote I am Takanui Nuva.

Especially when transferring Pokemon between generations. I have some Pokemon that I want to change there nicknames but can't cause of this. I doubt they'll fix this in Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire. But I hope anyways.But there's nothing to fix. It's a feature, not a bug or error. If a Pokemon is from a different game file, the name is preserved because it came from someone else, and the idea is you shouldn't be able to rename other peoples' Pokes. Like not renaming a pet you inherit of the previous owner moves away or something. And obviously you can't distinguish something from a previous gen as being yours or not. It's a logical feature; they won't be removing it. ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActivePalpitation Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Hey guys. I've been reading some posts in the Serebii/Smogon/Bulbapedia forums and I've been seeing a lot of posts about people complaining about the competitive and breeding scene taking fun out of the game. Now, I don't play Competitively but I don't appose it. I'm more of a collector To be fair, people don't have to like competitive scene, but when they say "it takes the fun out of the game", it seems they mean "It takes the fun out of the game for everyone." or at least they think that everyone should play without competitiveness. It may surprise you to know that people find Competitive.....fun. I've found that people who play competitively are accepting of both modes of game play, however, I find at least, people who play only the "traditional way" and don't accept other styles, absolutely hate the competitive scene and see it as "Pokemon abuse."( With breeding and IV's and stuff) I love Pokemon, and have sentimental attachment to all of mine. I don't wanna be the bearer of bad news, but...... Pokemon aren't real. So really what I'm saying is, do these people think that competitive players don't enjoy competitive play? It's just a warped sense of logic to me. Anyway, rant aside. The real reason I came here was to ask a nickname related question. What should I nickname my female Abomasnow?

I used to think it was gonna be fun winning but that never really happened Even playing online again to see if I could win for once I was smashed once again I think the only time I ever won in the past was with my mega Gengar sometimes...Competitive play seems more fun in like friendly competitive matches like the ones I've had with people on here Even if I don't win, it just seems more fun that way...

Toa of Gallifrey Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 The demo's quite fun, though after you play 10 times the missions start looping. 15 days after you started playing you unlock a secret mission for an extra reward, though, then you get access to Steven's house. There's another secret mission but the method of getting it hasn't been nailed down yet, it just seems like RNG at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitoshura Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I honestly don't get what's so bad about competitive. Yeah, I know, IV breeding can get boring but it's really worth it in the end. Like I never done competitive before, but after I bred my mons I started and it was pretty easy considering so many people thinking legendaries/shinies with ivs can do them any good are battling and it's really fun to beat them and teach them a friendly lesson about using "normal" Pokemon. Like I don't understand how competitive playing takes the fun from Pokemon, like honestly? What are they, 5? Just really surprised that people want ti taken out because they are too impatient to iv breed and suck at battling...smh. Say whatever you want, but competitive battling is what kept me playing XY after the dex was done, and probably for many others. Like if you don't like it, don't play, instead of complaining to Game Freak or something about removing it completely. Sorry for the long rant, but it makes me mad that people are that ignorant about, well, anything in general. Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specified that some competitive players look down on people who only play for fun without worrying about any of the other things competitive players usually take into account. (But then, there's definitely some competitive players who definitely seem to talk about it as a chore more than anything, and I have seen way too many that seem to do nothing but complain about certain parts of competitive play.

The problem from both sides are the competitive players who think anyone that only plays for fun is a dumb casual like no offense to anybody but pokemon is a children's game with a complex element for a more mature audience and if you choose to ignore the competitive element and you're like seventeen and a huge pokemon fan then you're just being proud of playing a children's game so i really do feel that the 'dumb casual' comment isn't really inaccurate, if a bit blunt. like you can do that gym challenge and enjoy it then put the game down, that's fine there's nothing wrong with that, but if you take that story mode really seriously and post on forums and laugh at how useless moves like stealth rocks or memento are then yeah go away Edited October 31, 2014 by Archer Vonn Quote 3DS: 3711-9364-3152 PSN: AidecVoros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't really care. I haven't been "prosecuted," personally (I play competitively on occasion with friends.) I'm just commenting on things that I have observed. It's true that every competitive player starts off as a casual one, but that doesn't change the fact that some of them, after "moving on" to a more complex fighting scene can be condescending. The problem from both sides are the competitive players who think anyone that only plays for fun is a dumb casual like no offense to anybody but pokemon is a children's game with a complex element for a more mature audience and if you choose to ignore the competitive element and you're like seventeen and a huge pokemon fan then you're just being proud of playing a children's game so i really do feel that the 'dumb casual' comment isn't really inaccurate, if a bit blunt. like you can do that gym challenge and enjoy it then put the game down, that's fine there's nothing wrong with that, but if you take that story mode really seriously and post on forums and laugh at how useless moves like stealth rocks or memento are then yeah go away See? Like this. Like this kind of condescension. Because enjoying anything for children makes you dumb, because things for children are automatically bad I guess. Like, I mean. As I said, it's a problem from both ends. Yes, casual players who rip into competitive play can be annoying, but competitive players who look down on those that don't play competitively can also be annoying. Some people are annoying! That's true for any group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
