I think players attempting Battle Maison should read this guide my friend wrote for Battle Subway in Gen 5 that can really help. You have to go into it with a whole different mindset. The Risk Management section is what is useful in particular

He currently has a streak of 252 in Super Doubles and over 300 in Super Triples so the man knows what he's talking about =P His Subway Super Doubles streak in BW2 was 919.
Just watched this video on Shiny chaining. Surprised I didn't even know about this in Gen IV. Feels odd trying to get a Shiny this way, but not getting a single Shiny in Gen II, III, IV, V, or VI so far sucks.

OR DOES IT?
This game actually has a ton of mysteries. What is the strange souvenier given to you by the guy who is not from any known region? What's up with the ghost in Lumiose City? What is the point of the scary house? Why is the Power Plant so massive but we can only access a small part of it? What's with the secret message in the train station? Why is the Cave of Emptiness so... empty? Some of these are possible teases for DLC, but some of it is just weird.
Is this actually a mystery.

I tried to radar chain but mine kept breaking and I couldn't figure out why
Mine just broke for some reason and I don't understand it either. I had a good chain going a bit ago but I accidently hit the dumb bike on the macro. Doesn't help Absol has a low spawn rate.
The RNG gods hate you, lol.

There's not enough good places to chain in this game.
It's like they deliberately took out expanses of grass to convenience us to not trudge through Pokemon to get to places.

Breeding is driving me bonkers
Keep getting 31/31/31/x/31/31 Timid Eevee
I want 31/x/31/31/31/31
Get rid of whatever has attack. The perfect attack getting picked up is as random as everything else but seeing it over and over when you talk to the IV judge causes way too much grief

Not caring about shinies is the key to a sane pokemon experience.

Favourite Gen VI Pokémon:
Either Heliolisk or Barbaracle. They're both awesome in their own unique ways.

Seriously, I will never understand the people that farm for shinies. They're just way to rare to bother farming imo.

Hell no.
That would take me what, 3 hours?
I'd rather just bike back and forth seeing that I'm just breeding now anyway.

Anyone here have some good IV contrary inkay?
Love Japanese players. <3
I put up something to get a Scizor with....a unique name let's just say that and it had Swarm. I put it up for any Scizor and I got traded a Scizor with Technician from a Japanese player. yay!
Yeah, I'm just gonna go this route. lol

Harvest+berryspam is the most annoying and threatening set by far.
I hate chaining for shinies. I've attempted it so many times now but it ALWAYS fails in the end. ._.

Thought so, i've seen some crazy matches with it.
Think i'll go with that one then.

That said, sleep+natural cure is more reliable.
That's not the dark skin Furisode chick... That's not even that one Ranger from Victory Road! lol
Favorite Gen VI 'mon: Greninja
This isn't even debatable. First starter final form since Blaziken that made me go "whoa", first starter since Blaziken with a downright stupid ability, first water starter I've picked and loved from the jump since Squirtle in OG Red, that beautiful movepool, and he's a fucking ninja. Case closed.
Favorite Mega: Mega Blaziken
The refined look (dem flaming knuckle tassles), new color scheme (the black patches are really nice) and that stance... Reminds me why Fire/Fighting was so hype until it happened three gens in a row. :lol
It also feels nice to finally like a character that comes in, turns on X-Factor for the speed boost buff, puts on swords and proceeds to late game sweep someone with Dive Kicks/BURN IN THE FLAMES.
For reference: P8JW-WWWW-WWW2-JZWE
I had a passerby challenge me to a match and didn't realize the rules were set to anything goes. Needless to say, I was not prepared. That is until based Ifrit gets to play.

The flame effect on Infernape looks so cool. Wish there was a way to get it now

On the very back timetable in Lumiose Station, there's a message on the back that says "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place."

Awww yeah
So wait, should I aim for a Natural Cure Phantump or a Harvest one? Or both?
I think this is my opinion too.
