Been away for 10 days, but think I've caught up on adding the new ones.

Thanks! Added it.

Don't really want to link the same guide multiple times/in multiple categories, but not sure exactly what/which category it should be under. Suggestions are welcome though.

Not going to argue with you about your guide here. I've told you what I think. This is just an index of all the useful guides on the forum, if you don't want yours included I can remove it for you.

You said in your first post my thread was unnecessary because your guide covered it. I was explaining why it didn't cover it, and was necessary. I didn't say your guide wasn't useful, if I didn't think it was useful I wouldn't have included it.

The links section at the start is missing a few guides, your writing needs a lot of editing and your guide is hugely incomplete. You're putting in a lot of effort and I'm sure it's appreciated, but it's nowhere near a complete guide and you spend as much time making commentary as you do on the walkthrough parts. That said, I'll add it to the index.

No worries, took about 10 minutes to throw together, mostly did it so I could have one bookmark instead of a half dozen.

Thought it was worth compiling a list of useful guides on these forums, especially as people insist on posting a lot of random noise that isn't anything close to useful. None of the following guides are my work, this is just an index. If you can think of other useful guides that aren't listed here, link them in a comment and I'll add them.

Yeah he's beatable. He just says you surprised him or something and leaves. My Gengar was considerably higher and it didn't get stopped until his, I think it was Espeon? Last poke anyway. Beat that pretty easily with another. The optimal number of pokes for the story mode seems to be 2, to be honest. You get too little xp and have to grind a lot with more, and with 1 you run the risk of getting walled by something.

Level 5.

I don't really see how it hurts the market. With how accessible cash is at the moment from grinding dragon cave, the only thing that will happen if someone finds an amazing shiny (odds on that are in the 1/40,000,000+ range, assuming use of a synch poke) is that it will redistribute the money in the market. As it stands the prices for really good pokemon are only going to climb dramatically as it's far, far easier to get money than to get really well rolled pokemon. And with 1400 users non-stop catching 180 pokemon an hour (about as fast as it's possible to catch pokemon), that's 252000 pokemon an hour or 6 million a day. There is a 65% chance of one of these pokemon showing up after an entire week of this. There is a 98.5% chance of a single pokemon showing up after a month of this. If people play on average for 4 hours a day (probably higher than the average number) then that means there is one of these pokemon per 8.4k users. And I'm being incredibly generous with all my numbers here, I wouldn't be surprised if the actual likelihood was a tenth of that of that due to people mostly not farming nonstop and not catching every pokemon they see. Tl;DR The occurrence of the event you're talking about, while likely to eventually happen (probably once or twice inside a year), will have 0 effect on the market.

As there's no breeding, and grinding for pokemon with very good ivs is the only way to get strong pokemon, I'd like to suggest the implementation of the Ability Capsule item. In gen 6 it's used to swap one non-HA ability for another on a pokemon. It's 1-use and very expensive. I'd suggest making it 1 per account from a late-game quest, rather than buyable, as this would limit it significantly and it would be a hugely valuable item. Perhaps a story chain quest could be implemented about a scientist researching why certain pokemon have certain abilities, and his quest to change that. It would also provide a way for people to use pokemon that rolled amazing ivs, but the wrong ability, as seeing something like that can be hugely frustrating at the end of a long grind, however knowing there's a way to turn that pokemon into something amazing - albeit with a huge opportunity cost - would be a huge salve to that sense of frustration, but it would still be a very serious decision if it were 1 per account.

It doesn't work. Using a ps3 controller and it just sends/interprets totally random inputs constantly. This is with SCP DS and and trying an Xbox360 profile as well.

I turned off battle requests in pallet town 5 minutes in because I hadn't left oak's lab and I'd had 8 requests. So no, not really. I didn't see much point until endgame tbh, when people have a chance to put a real set of pokemon together.
