Do normal forms change to be alolan forms? Or why the fuck is the alolan Raichu from Sinnoh

>>31618370
Fuck off sinnohfetus

>>31618394
Hell if I know, I just used a Thunderstone on my Pikachu from Sinnoh and it evolved into Alolan Raichu.
>>31618400
I started with LeafGreen when I was younger, anon.

>>31618419
All pokemon evolve into their Alolan forms if there in SM. Not sure if theres a way to choose the opposite

>>31618436
I could've sworn they said that only applied to Pokemon born/caught in Alola. Well, now I'm about to have a shiny Alola Golem.

>>31618419

Doesn't matter, if you weren't even alive when Pokemon came out in the US you should fuck off

>>31618370
>ruining your bro
Anon how could you?

I ain't payin' $5 for something I'll use once

>>31618488
I just really like Raichu, I didn't expect this to happen. Nice dubs.

>>31618436
That only happens to Raichu, Exeggutor and Marowak, all the other evolve normally (if it's a Fire-type Vulpix it evolves into Fire-type Ninetales, if it's an Ice-type Vulpix it evolves into an Ice/Fairy-type Ninetales, and so on)

literally me but it's an old geezerette and only has a couple ribbons, story is my brother couldn't get past Roark and thus traded it to me for Turdwig, based monkeygal for life

>>31618714
OP here, I bring my Empoleon with me to every game but I haven't used him since Diamond. I'll try to make time for him and my other past starters this time around.

Currently grinding up my Tri-attack Togekiss so I can bottle cap it.

I also need to import my shiny Charizard with all the gen 6 ribbons to get the new ones but I don't want to lock him out of 6th gen.

This bugger was from the Magikarp seller back when I got LG in 04, so he must be 13 years old now. I was horrified when I found out about natures years later after transferring it to SS. Geared his EVs towards SpA, Def and Hp so he can tank T-tar level rock slides and he's been doing surprisingly well with specs since.

kys kantocuck

you are worthless and not wanted

I finally got the motivation to finish getting all the ribbons on a shiny HP Ice Raikou I RNGed from Colosseum. Gonna do the same with shiny Suicune and Entei later.
I just don't have the willpower to endure 4th gen's ribbon grind right now. Those battle tower ribbons are the worst.

How do you exactly do this? I'd love to bring one of the early shitmons across the gens.

how can i get a balanced pokemon for contest if he is jolly? i forgot how pokeblocs worked in gen 3

>>31620907
There's a particular recipe you can use to totally max the contest stats in gen 3, but you're gonna need 4 GBAs or 4 emulators linked

>>31620819

>Goobert
I think you've already got one

>>31620840
It's actually not so bad. Have you looked up anything about it? I promise, all the notes/guides you're going to find will make it sound more intimidating than it is.

>>31620907
Like the other anon said, you can do that. I couldn't do that, though, so I just tried to round it out the best I could. My Raikou was Modest. Cool contests in gen 4 were brutal

I imported my shiny Charizard I hatched in X and got every ribbon available in 6th gen on it.

I just got the tree supers ribbon on it, currently doing the E4 for the champ ribbon then its royal and normal singles time.

I'm eternally mad that I forgot to get the gen 3 champ ribbon on my Colosseom Raikou that has every other ribbon.

Isn't Bank supposed to have the National Dex? I can't find it. Did that not happen?

Which script are we talking about? That's the gist of it, assuming you're not going for a shiny (gotta do some extra shit for a good ID/SID combo if you are). The procedure I generally do:
>save at closest PC
>go to rng reporter's main window, set to Colo, input spread I want and set frame range
>using dolphin's rtc setting, start game at different times for different seeds
>check seed and plug into rng reporter, repeat process until spread I want appears
>stand next to encounter, advance frames with snag list until I hit frame

Some mons are harder to hit than others for reasons, though. Which one are you after?

Posting pic of ribbon Raikou while I'm here

I also have a Pikachu bro. Can I evolve it to Alolan Raichu this game? Would be fun.

>>31621516

This one.Your procedure seems much more efficient. Would it work if I'm aiming for a shiny? I don't mind having shit IVs since hyper training's a thing now.

This is my Swellow from Sapphire. He has an extensive family tree extending over four generations now, with each generation getting progressively better in terms of stats and natures.

>>31621647
Yeah, don't use that for Colo. That script is for Gale, and it's actually outdated now.
If you don't care about IVs, you don't need to deal with the rtc and resetting for a good seed. You can just start the game, put your seed in rng reporter, fill out your frame range/nature/ID combo, and search. You can hit your spread from there.

>>31621771
Thanks friend. I'll try it out later in the day.

>Have you been spending any time with your bros?

No, because I'm trying to get the Battle Maison's 50 win streak ribbon and the AI is really trying to kick my ass early. Highest streak was 33 by spamming EQ, but now I feel like the AI can counter anything even if I arrange different mons in my team after loosing once. I'm getting close to giving up.

Are you guys thinking of using Golden Bottle Caps for your bros?

>My Aegislash is missing

I fear they were left in my wife's Pokebank before we got married and I know she Wonder Traded everything in her bank so we could use mine only.

I am about to transfer Pokemon from 9-10 years back that we caught together with my close friends
I stopped playing after Platinum so it's pretty cool to get them back, just gotta beat black 2 first

How does importing from the gen 1 VC games work and has anyone bothered dumping their save from the original cart, injecting it into the VC release and importing their very first Pokemon into S/M yet?
>>31620611

It's usually Hoenniggers who shitpost about Sinnoh and Unova the hardest.

>>31623458
>How does importing from the gen 1 VC games work
Throw it to bank and retrieve from bank in S/M
>has anyone bothered dumping their save from the original cart, injecting it into the VC release and importing their very first Pokemon into S/M yet?
I think some people already did that back when VC transfer wasn't a thing and it was done through homebrew. Not sure if anyone has done it since then.

12 years ago I had a friend I played a lot of pokémon with. He used to beat my ass with his fug. No matter what I did, his fug always won. Around 8 years ago, he had financial problems and was in a serious need for money, therefore he wanted to sell his consoles and games, including his copy of emerald that contained his legendary fug. He didn't want to abandon fug, so he gave it to me. I promised him I would take care of fug. And wel... here I present you my worst enemy but also one of my best friends: fug.

She's had an interesting adventure from my Emerald, getting digitized in Gens 4 and 5 because I played on a flashcart, becoming 'real' again in a backup Black I used to transfer to Bank, touring Kalos and returning to Hoenn. Counting HGSS's Kanto, she's seen every mainline region.

-protein sp.atk greninja with coverage moves

-DD ZardX or DD multiscale dragonite holding weakness policy or DD m-salamence

-your pokemon of choice you want ribbons on

enjoy your free wins. if you're doing doubles then use both zardX and dragonite. Way less annoying then grinding it up with your bankmons then getting countered by some shitter in the late 30's or 40's. Yes that means you will have to grind from 1-50 wins several times to get ribbons for all your bankmons, but the cpu honestly does not know how to deal with greninja's protein, and ZardX one shots most things after a DD as well as surviving most water and tanking electric moves the cpu tries to uses on normal charizard. DD WP multiscale dragonite is basically win insurance.
