Thanks a lot man. :) I am trying to get some adament pokemon and I can't fine a Ditto that is adament to breed them with. :/

No luck :(

Need anything else?

An Eevee perchance?

I'm an Eevee breeding machine.

I've got my Umbreon and later when the sun starts coming up, I'm going to go for my Espeon. I just got my Flareon.

If you want specific Characteristics or a specific Nature that'll cost you a little more (yes, they DO make a difference!), but if you want BOTH characteristics named by you .. it'll cost you a pretty penny as it'll take me a while to breed one. The most expensive Eevee I offer is : Sex choice, Characteristic and Nature choice.

I haven't chosen how much those'll cost yet, but those are going to be VERY expensive because only 12 % of Eevee are female and they take forever to get.

We're talking pure bred Eevee here too. No Ditto blood. :)

A male and a female Eevee.

Stupid Voltorb flip, lol. I must be a moron; I can't get past 8 coins. So What I do is get at least 4 coins, quit, then restart. Takes forever xD... But I haven't played SS in about a week or two, other than to help some Neowin members who wanted to trade, etc.

Is there a place you can go to to do random battles with people over wifi?

Also, I've still got a box full of cyndaquils if anybody needs one. One of them is a female.

Hm. You know, I actually like the new Voltorb Flip better than the slots. It's less luck, and a LOT more strategy. Also, if you lose a round, you still get to keep all your coins from previous rounds, so there's nothing hindering you from trying over and over again to improve.

This video tells the basic strategy:

It took me a while to actually get better at it. A half hour of not being able to get past level 3, then consistently beating level 3. I got 764 coins after about an hour, most of which was spent on a learning curve. Seriously, the Voltorb Flip's better. You can use skill and actually get stuff.

Also, completely unrelated... I kind of want to beat my Japanese Diamond now, to get a Japanese Ditto. You need the Pokeradar to get it, which means you have to beat the game... I bought Platinum in English lately, and am working through that, but I'm too lazy to beat my Japanese Diamond, cuz it's in Japanese, and I know Japanese. If I didn't, I'd just skip over everything, but because I do, I want to read everything, and I can't skim like in English, so it takes forever and... ugh. I'm so lazy.

Whoah, thanks. That video was pretty helpful. I'm a mathematical idiot, so I never would have figured it out on my own, lol.

And thus I'm about to take on Chuck, with this team.

Flaaffy Lv.26

Croconaw Lv.28

Pidgeotto Lv.26

Vulpix Lv.26

Umbreon Lv.31 (Traded from Pearl)

Umbreon is my fallback, some hell of a fallback considering he's a dark type. It has Wish though, so I can just switch in, Wish, and switch back to something that needs healing. In theory.

And yes, I have no healing items, and I can't be bothered to Surf back to Olivine.

I had to resort to some extra levelling to get through Chuck, traded over to my Pearl version to get some extra levels, also used the TM for Aerial Ace on Pidgeotto.

Now my team stands at this.

Pidgeotto Lv.30

Ampharos Lv.30

Feraligatr Lv.32

Umbreon Lv.31

Vulpix Lv.30

If you hadn't guessed I like to keep my pokes around the same level except for my starter, which I put 2 levels higher. That made the battle a LOT easier, I just used Pidgeotto on his Primeape and Ampharos on Poliwrath. 2HKO's on both.

I haven't beaten the Elite 4 for a second time yet, but what happens after that? I've already beaten Red (Trainer). It seems like there isn't much to do after you complete everything. I was hoping there'd be random wifi battles or a lobby, but it's not even an option. Just friend codes...

Is there anything to do when you've beaten pokemon, besides catching them all? Haha...

When you've beaten the Elite 4 and Red, you could always look into EV Training and Competitive Battling over WiFi. I found that to take up some time when I'd completed Pearl, the Battle Frontier is also available if you want to try that.

I see. I guess I'm done with it, then... EV training is pretty ridiculous and I often resort to just cheating in order to change the stats, lol. I wish the Pokethon had Wifi. I thought those games were actually pretty fun...

Vaporeon is achieved. :)

Next up.. Jolteon and Leafeon, and I'll be completely done with my team of evolved Eevee.

Then the fun part.. leveling them all up to about 23ish.

Where are you at in the game? If you'd like, you can trade me one or two and I can level them up for you with gained exp and then trade them back. :)

Oh okay, just thought I'd offer.

I haven't played pokemon recently and probably won't pick it up for a while. I just wanted an excuse to do something for an hour or 2, lol... so I won't need an Eevee. Thanks, though.

It takes 32 minutes for you to raise a pokemon with a sooth bell in its paws to raise it to full happiness to the point where it'll evolve to a Happiness Evolvable form.

Long story short as to how I know this; I had to redo my whole Eevee team. They're now

Umbreon Docile/Defensive, Leafeon Docile/HP Bonus, Espeon Serious/Special Attack Bonus, Bashful/Special Defense .. and I'm working on getting the others without the hindering status affects/effects.

The team is as follows, so far.. :

Shadow - Umbreon.

Astoria - Espeon.

Odhran (it means "little pale green one" in Irish) - Lefeon.

Eis (it means Ice in German) - Glaceon.

:happy:

Thank God for help from awesome and understanding friends.

Yeah it does. I did it a while back. I actually haven't hatched them all yet... just 4 of them (and trained the original Eevee from Bill)... got 2 more eggs in my PC. By the way, I DOUBT anyone needs them, but I can supply eggs of all three DPPt starters if anyone wants them. I bought Platinum after HeartGold cuz I never beat 4th gen (bought Diamond ages ago in Japanese but got bored) and just kept restarting and trading over the starters to my HG, before I started for real.

By the way, I'd love it if anyone started HG/SS with a Totodile and would be willing to give me an egg (breed it with Ditto kind of thing)... I'm too afraid to go on GTS because I don't want a hacked one. I don't want one with perfect stats or a certain nature, you know, just a genuine one... yeah. I have Chikorita and Cyndaquil eggs I could supply as well! =D

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
