So, now that we know Sun & Moon have their own pentagon,

>>28611736
>You won't be able to use any of them in the rated battles
Are you just assuming this?

>>28611736
Complete the dex

>>28611764
Rates battles only allow current "pentagon" pokemon

>>28611774
And? Maybe sun and moon will allow pentagon and plus pokemon.

>>28611736
>dex completion
>hyper training any that are level 100 to get easy 6IV parents for breeding new Pokemon for the rating ladder

>>28611796
Fair enough, you can re-breed easily if you have great parents.

But for legendaries this sucks.
Might've spend ages to get a 5IV zapdos or some shit with a good nature and now you can't use it.

I thought non pentagon mons don't count towards the dex?

>>28611736
>completing the dex
>using them to play with your friends
>breeding 6IV's sanic fast
>bonding with them, if you're that kind of faggot

>>28611838
Can fill the dex with any random shitmon, no need to reset until you have 5IV legendaries

>>28611815
Well now you can just get a Zapdos with a good nature and Hyper Train it. It's no big deal, really

>>28611736
I'll be bringing mine over for battle spot/friend battles

>>28611869
So you're saying we can catch Zapdos in Sun & Moon?

Because if not then your plan falls flat.

>>28611830
They definitely do. They just can't be used online or in official competitions.

Source: I transferred some gen 5 legends up to help complete my live dex.

>>28611736
Unless you're playing on Rated Battles, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't ?

>>28611891
I play rated battles and will also need to bring these pokémon to the official VGC when I strive to become world champion at the VGC 2017

>>28611889
I'm pretty positive you can use them now, only not in VGC or Rated.

Source: my shiny Zapdos and Lando.

>>28611910
I see, well good luck. Let's hope Alola has a good roster of Legendary and regular pokemon.

>>28611889
>They just can't be used online or in official competitions.

Lies because I've used non pentagon mons online in gen 6??

>>28611883
Well if you can't catch Zapdos, you wouldn't be able to use Zapdos in the first place on rating, so it doesn't really matter.

>>28611935
but not in rated battles
maybe vs your friends

>>28611958
Rates & official comps yes a pentagon
But battle spot/online friends you can use any.

>>28611993
In official tournaments in Generation VI, as well as at the Battle Spot in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, only Pokémon with a blue pentagon can be used.

>>28611736
Does that mean we can change the ball? God I hope we can get access to previous balls like DB and Apricorn Balls

>>28612251
I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion, elaborate

>>28611830
In XY, non-penta mons will not allow you to finish the XY regional dex, meaning no Egg charm, but yeah they count towards National

>>28612264
The Pokéball on the top left has that "touch me!" circle around it, like you can interact with it.

>>28612309
Oh, huh...

Would be truly awesome if they let us, maybe through paying a lot of money (gotta have some money dump) change the balls our pokemon are in. Maybe make it require one of said ball + a lot of money.

Do the pokemon from previous generations like 4 have a pentagon too when they get traded over to gen6

>>28612534
No, that's the fucking point of the pentagon.

>>28612543
What are the pentagons even for i thought they are a sign of a legitimate pokemon but there seems to be more to it

>>28612575
The pentagon is a sign that the pokemon was obtained in gen 6.

Either through catching, breeding or mystery gift.

>>28612309

Yeah, but it's missing a shadow, like every options button on the screen has. That leads me to think it's just a decoration, not an interactable object.

Only matters for rated battles which are full of tryhard boring shit anyways.

>>28612833
well yeah but then again if you don't enjoy that kind of stuff you probably wouldn't go out of your way to get 5 IV mons anyway
