long time no come back to pokemon thread (since Gen IV). are you guys having fun with X/Y?

I kinda want to wait until Z is released first only get a 3DS since the platform still does not have many games I'm interested. I kinda missed the whole Gen V due to the unexpected release of v2 instead of grey lol... But I heard this time it is based on axis so more chance perhaps?

Oh, for the breeding debate above, although my argument might be invalid since it was based on my past breeding exp in HGSS and I'm not sure what update/changes was made since then.

Assuming you don't have to pin point what stats need to be maxed, getting 4 max IV is not that hard. Of course the quality of parents do play heavy factor in the inheriting, but if both parent have at least 3 max IV it not hard to get one with 4IV. Then if you keep replacing the parent with more maxed IV with the current one to keep the chances of getting better child up.

I remember there is also certain items (was it EV items?) that helps to ensure inheriting 1 stat from a parent. So that too can help in early stages of breeding process. The breeding game only gets hard when you try to get closer to a flawless breed or pinpoint 5 specific stat.

That destiny knot item that was mentioned sounds like it will make breeding much easier tho. perhaps it is about time for meto brush up pokemon knowledge...?  2 gen worth of moveset/item info sounds scary xD
