Hey.
So, I beat my family in mini golf (an accomplishment, and a really nice title in my family... we take mini golf seriously)! But, today's our last real day in Virginia :( We leave tomorrow at 8 in the mornin....
Oh, and my friend traded me a Piplup a while ago and I had put it into a box and forgotten about it... and then I took it out today to breed it so I could have more to trade away and I realized it had POKERUS!!!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH THIS IS IS GONNA MAKE MY EV TRAININ' GO SO MUCH BETTER!

Pokerus + Power items = Happy Silver
Seriously. Without either of those, it takes, what, 510 battles to get a Pokemon EV trained, give or take a few for those +2 Pokemon? With Pokerus, that's down to 255... and with Power Items, it can be as low as 51! It's so easy in HG/SS, since there's a water route where only one type of Pokemon appears for each stat except Defense, and there's a Power items for that. I never cared for EV training before this, but if it's so easy, why wouldn't I want my Pokemon's stats to be spread out in the most beneficial way possible?

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Hi! I never cared about EV training either...but now B/W lets you retrain pokémon who are already at level 100 I might give it a shot if I can get enough EV reducing berries. As for pokérus, I caught it when playing Diamond and, while I wasn't planning on doing any EV training at the time, I spread it to a bunch of different pokémon and stored them in my PC for future use just in case.
Re: Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!
Have fun collecting all the EV berries. They're being stolen off of share shelves really quick now.
Re: Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!
Amen to that. I always get bored EV training, and I've never been lucky enough to have Pokerus spread to the Pokemon that was being EV trained. Still, thank goodness for those Power items!Silver wrote:Pokerus + Power items = Happy Silver

I should have 5 to 14 of each EV-reducing berries in my Platinum, so if anyone needs one to plant, I'll be more than willing to trade mine away.
'Ello. I missed Opal's return? Well, now I feel bad for not checking up on here more often...
Re: Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!
You see now, that's the thing. While most of us have saved up our berries in Gen IV, you can't transfer berries to Gen V. To make it worse, you can't plant berries ingame, only in the Dream World. To also make it worse, the friend system does not allow you to friend any specific person you want, so spreading the berries to specific people is really annoying.

Thanks for telling me.
Re: Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!
Hi! Yeah, I've got a pretty impressive collection of berries, PP Ups, Master Balls, and other cool stuff in Diamond but B/W won't let you bring over pokémon that are holding items. 
And yeah, Dream World has lots of annoying features like limiting you to an hour of play every 24 hours and preventing your from searching for friends by user name (it's all random). But wait, you really can't plant berries anywhere in game? Sometimes I don't know what Game Freak is thinking. They have a tendency to introduce a few cool features in each new game, make a real big deal out of them, and then pretty much drop them when the next game comes around. Contests? Pokémon walking? Pokéblocks? Poffins? Sigh...

Re: Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!
Hey.
So... back home again... frowny.
AP tests in two weeks... frowny.
Vacation is almost over and I haven't done most of the homework... frowny.
One of my friend just told me she couldn't come over my house when I told her to ask like a week ago and she just finally asked yesterday... frowny.
My other friend just confided to me that he came up with a plan to kill himself two weeks ago and he was in the process of writing a suicide note when one of my friends, thankfully, called the cops... yeah.
Learning the whole "oh, I'm a really nice person in public but I can actually be a heartless jerk" is a personality that exists in real life.... yeah.

Hey!
Holy crap, Saber! It's a good thing your friend called the cops on time. I'm glad he/she will be safe for now.
Still studying for these AP tests coming up in about four weeks... Busier than ever, even over spring break. *sigh* Peace out!

Greetings!
Woah! I guess I've been rather ... uh.... busy with Spring Break going on and all that. .... School is back on Tuesday, and I still haven't done a huge Math Packet. It's rather easy, but I just don't wanna do it. *procrastination powers!*
When I do get back to school, it's going to be hardcore test preparation. Standardized testing is a week after we return. The only thing I like about Standardized testing week, is that the teachers give us gum because it supposedly helps us think better, and the freetime we have when testing is done for the day.
WhatI have been up to the past week... Cleaning.... MMOing.... and going up to NYC... (I got a Prinny Plushie, I'm so happy...dood)
Well, I guess I should have said that I planned on disappearing for awhile. So I shall say so now. I plan on disappearing for awhile. Most likely when test preparation and testing itself is done and over with.... which is a good 2 weeks. Guess I'll see you then. *poof*

Re: Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!
Hi! They give out gum to help you think? Seriously? I can guess who sponsored that study...
Re: Return of the Revenge of the Son of Saying Hi to Josiah!
Greetings!
Well, I won't object to it. Accordingly it helps us focus more. I don't know who came up with it, or how they backed it up. But I think placebo is involved for most of it. But if it's not gum they give us, it's most likely a mint.
Oh yeah, Happy Easter to whoever of you celebrate it.

Hey!
Just joined a cool Sailor Moon forum today, and now I can actually share my interest with other fans. Other than that, I'm still upset I have so much homework to do over spring break... >.> The bright side is, I'm going to Seattle, Washington, tomorrow with the family! I'm hoping to meet up with my friends (who are coincidentally going too) there.
Well, I'll be offline for a longer time now. Peace out!

Hope you have fun in Seattle, Metal.
Speaking of trips, I just got back from Rincon, Puerto Rico! I was gonna say something before hand, but then I had to go and forget
. The place was absolutely beautiful, and the waves were so much better than the ones we get at home. No jettys breaking 'em up, and since there was a coral reef the waves didn't break on the shore. Reef kinda hurt your feet though. Anyway, had a great time. It actually didn't even bother me that there was no internet connection. I had one window of opportunity when my dad lent me his blackberry, so I was able to get that Mafia post in :P. Had to go outside on the top floor to connect though.
I miss being in Puerto Rico, but it's gonna be nice not having to share my bed with two other people or take cold showers outside :D.
