>tfw 8chan's pokemon board is dead as fuck
I organised a double-battle competition on 4chan's vp ages ago. I wouldn't mind starting another, if there was enough interest?
No.6485
Like you said, we're pretty dead. Makes sense with such a small community, not to mention one that's fractured over several boards to boot. I applaud your willingness to improve things, but frankly the highest priority right now is to somehow find quality posters to expand the userbase with. (And even if we had a sustainable population, right now it's Black Friday so everyone's out, and ORAS just came out so people aren't done breeding their autismons yet.) I'd say stick to challenging individual people in WFG for now, try again in a few months.
No.6488
It is because everyone is on /v/, /gg/, and /pol/

>>6485I personally loathe spending any time in halfchan, and halfchan's /vp/ has a lot of a demographic that I don't appreciate. I guess I'm sitting outta this one gents. I wouldn't mind trying to bring competitive players over - actually, that would be really p. gud.
But if there ever is an interest, I'll be more than happy to run it. Last time we had a more or less successful competition that ran for a good couple of months. Everyone had fun, everyone improved at double battles and we had some real talent.
It all ended when I went on a trip to thailand and forgot all about the competition I worked so hard to build. I never organised the final rounds (top cut) and it sadly faded into oblivion (oops). But it had a gud run.
No.6495
I'm not too competitive, but right now I'm going full autism and breeding a master race of Attack Cyndaquil, which takes longer than most breeding because of their lack of presence in the wild.
Right now I have a Cyndaquil with max IVs in Sp. Def, Def, and HP, so if anyone has any junk Ditto/Cyndaquil that have other max IVs hit me up.
No.6496
>>6495hey, that gave me an idea - genning for people to attract attention.
4vp is always over-run with greedyfags so requests are rarely filled. if they were to know that we gen free here…
No.6497
>>64838chan itself isn't populated enough to warrant a dedicated pokemon board, though I come here anyway.
/v/ actually allows pokemon threads anyway, so maybe you'll have better luck there, OP?
No.6498
>>6497nah, a competition to git gud @ competitive battling is more for a crowd of people who are a bit serious about the game.
it's awright. I don't mind too much. it was just an idea to try and get this board a bit more populated.
No.6499
/v/ in 8chan is usable even for less crowded threads.
Also, the board owner still hasn't tagged the board, which doesn't help. Adding tags helps a lot in bringing in some new people.
No.6504
Well the halfchan exodus that was brought on by gamergate is also a reason to consider for 8chan /poke/ being so dead.
People of /vp/ were unaffected by gamergate, so they had no reason to leave /vp/.
I'll do a 4iv give-away sometime in late December.
What would be some Christmas-y Pokemon /poke/ that I could breed for y'all?
Will also list some of my shinies up for trade when I do the give away.
No.6505
>>6504Not to mention that /vp/ generally likes the active moderation since it weeds out Slugfucker threads.
I don't think they're willing to put up with Bui again and Slugfucker will likely follow them here. Plus the board owner's pretty lax.
No.6507
>>6504you can't get any more christmas from Delibird.
although I don't know if that's an interesting pokemon.
No.6509
>>6488>>6504>>6497This is my only complaint with 8chan.
Also every time I make a board it fails doesn't even get raided like /pk/ or /x/ it just flops No.6513
Is anyone interested in gale wings adamant fletchlings with a 4IV spread? Maybe someone with ORAS since you can't catch them in those games
>tfw have a full box breeding leftovers but feel they're too valuable to release

>>6513I wondertraded all my 3-5 IV breeding rejects, kept the good shit I got back and released the rest.
It's the only sane thing to do, really because even Pokemon Box will fill up eventually.

>>6507Yeah, Delibird is, but it's just such a shit pokemon. Wanna breed something worth keeping, ya know?

In a Premier Ball since it'd be a snowy white ball with a bit of red.

>>6523 (ID change due to being on mobile internet)
Well, I'll do my best in obtaining one. Doesn't seem likely. (GTS people want legendaries for them, & no clue what ball they'll be in.)
I may just end up breeding Spheals in Luxury balls. Or if I can get an HA Buneary, I'll distribute those. :D Everybody like Buneary, right?
No.6535
>>6534I'm sure any well bred Ice-typed or mega-evo pokemon are appropriate anyway.
I was thinking of distributing Park Ball 5-IV Weedles, but then most folks might mistake them for wild caught shitmons even if they're lvl 1 with bug bite and properly marked.
Though distributing Winter Deerling myself might be a good fallback.
No.6537
>>6535You have winter deerling?
Also, ice type is my least favorite type. I just dont find them to be that good. Idk, I want to give something away bro/attle worthy.

Well, what I got going on now, still working on getting the IVs right.
Buneary in a Luxury Ball
Ability: Limber
Egg move: Ice Punch

OP here, somehow this had evolved into giveaways. not bad.
I have some friends in the cloning scene and, if I did decide to run this competition, I'd give away 5IV KB legends to participants. I can also gen so I can do custom gen requests too.
How's that sound?
No.6548
>>6546I have various shiny pkmn that I would gladly liked to see cloned & distributed.
This thread is now about ideas to get more traffic to this board. lol.
The Bunearys I plan on giving away will also be between 4-5 IVs. Hoping to aim for mainly 5ivs.
Thinking of a good date to distribute them also. Maybe before/after Christmas? (assuming people will have asked for ORAS as a present for the holidays)
No.6549
>>6548Anytime this month seems to be good - I just finished dumping off a bunch of 3-5 IV Roselia and I got back quite a bit more 3-5 IV mons than normal.
Hmm, if I give the 5 IV lvl 1 Sport Ball Weedles nicknames, and are properly marked with Bug Bite that should be enough of a notice that they aren't just early route shitmons, right?
No.6576
Have nearly 2 boxes full of 5iv, HA, Egg Move, Bunearys. About a 55% Male/ 45% Female ratio going. Really upset that I haven't come across a 6IV female yet. ;__;
No.6580
>>6578
God no, fuck furries. It would just make this process of breeding them a little easier. I've come across 2 6ivs males,(one HA & one not), but no 6iv females. -.-

>>6580>replying to Bui ever No.6585
>>6584What's wrong with that?
No.6590
>>6576>>6580HA is probably preferred since it helps it with switch ins and the other two are near useless in comparison.
Someone on /vp/ had been distributing 6 IV dittos for the past couple days apparently, so if you can stand going on there for a little bit you can probably grab one and make the process go by a lot faster.
6IVs are not really needed though, I doubt anyone's going to try for any sort of Special moveset with a 54 Sp. Atk Base.
No.6600
>>6590Got a 6iv HA female today. Eh, I just want a few hexaperfect pokemon for the hell of it & to use them on my various teams.
Gunna take a break though, I have 2 boxes fulls of them. Thinking of doing this on 17th. I want have at least 4 boxes full by then.
No.6610
>>6600Oh yeah, I understand the allure of perfection.
The male Buneary you got earlier would also probably be incredibly helpful in breeding other hexaperfects - I think it's in both Ground and Humanshape, yeah? That's actually a pretty huge chunk of the entire Pokedex.
