I will have three pigeons and they will be named Bobby, Squit and Pesto.

Yeah, but how are you going to get Pesto to beat up Squit?

They're giving out Jirachi over Wi-Fi until July 16th. It knows Draco Meteor, carries a Liechi Berry, and unlocks the Night's Sky Edge Pokéwalker route.

Night's Sky Edge gives mainly shards and valuable sale items like Stardust, but the Pokémon on the route are all common.

More new pokemon revealed today :D :D :D

A mole pokemon and his evolution (they are sooo cute)
Some sorta sarcophagus pokemon with ghosty arms
some maybe spider pokemon?
some bug things?

I dunno, but they're just in-game screenshots of these pokemons, not Sugimori art so it's rather hard to tell what they all are.  Moreover, 3v3 battles.  Super craziness.

Also also, that jirachi is the same as the one you could have obtained at Gamestop earlier this year or whenever the fuck that event was.

Well, doesn't the damage spread with the number of targets it has to hit?

What's the quickest way to level up Pokemon in DPPt, post-Elite Four?

Grind forever on Mt. Silver, grind forever on trainer rematches, or grind forever on gym leader rematches.

DPPt, not HG/SS.

There's a few trainers that are super-XP dudes.  There's a pair just north of the Resort Area, and all of them give good XP, including a Salamence.  Still highly recommend you to attempt to lay hands on a Lucky Egg.

The conventional way to powerlevel in that is to go to the mountain in the post-game area where you have Buck following you around and healing you after every battle, and spam Surf.

Sounds about right.  Or ghost types not affected.

Something I calculated today:

The Heavy Ball is the least useful Pokéball overall. Of all Pokémon which can be caught in HG/SS, only 10 gain a bonus. The remaining 441 or so actually take a penalty to catch rate, making it worse than a regular Pokéball about 97% of the time.

As the Heavy Ball gives a flat bonus to catch rate rather than a multiplier, it's not even much use for non-legendaries. Of the six non-legendaries who gain any benefit - Onix, Lapras, Gyarados, Mantine, Steelix, and Snorlax - all but Snorlax have a better bonus using other Pokéballs. The three water types (Lapras, Gyarados and Mantine) are better served with a Net Ball, and Onix and Steelix get the full benefit of the Dusk Ball since are always found in caves. In fact, the Heavy Ball is weaker for Mantine than an Ultra Ball, and weaker than a Great Ball for Onix, Lapras and Gyarados.

Snorlax gains a 2.6x bonus using the Heavy Ball, which is better than Ultra Ball (2x). The only better are Dusk Ball (3.5x if used at night), Timer Ball (3x if used after 20 turns, 4x if used after 30 turns), Repeat Ball (3x if you already have a Snorlax), and Love Ball (8x if you have a Snorlax out of the opposite gender, which is difficult as 7/8 Snorlaxes are male). However, since it's easy to play at night, the Dusk Ball is still better.

The real benefit of the Heavy Ball is to catch Lugia, Rayquaza, Kyogre and Groudon. Their low catch rate makes the Heavy Ball's flat bonus especially useful. Kyogre gains the equivalent of a 7x catch rate, Lugia and Rayquaza 7.67x, and Groudon a whopping 9%. As the legendaries are genderless and level 45 or higher, it's impossible to get the 8x bonus from Level Ball or Love Ball, making Heavy Ball superior.

tl;dr: Heavy Ball is awesome for Lugia, Rayquaza, Kyogre or Groudon. For everyone else it's inferior to Dusk Ball or Net Ball, even Snorlax. Aside from the four legendaries and six other Pokémon it's inferior to a plain Pokéball.

I caught a Ditto in a love ball, and then I named it Sexmachine.

I also caught a Ditto in a Love Ball, for the irony that its catch rate can't benefit, having no gender.

Yes, exactly. Catch all mons in the most appropriate ball, regardless of benefit.

I do that when I chain shinies.  Also I like to match their colors.  And one time I caught a slowpoke in a quick ball, just for BB to love, and I even named him Fastpoke.

A Slowpoke caught in a Fast Ball or Quick Ball, taught Quick Attack, Swift, Agility, and Extremespeed, and leveled up to 100 will evolve into the legendary pokemon Fastpoke. My cousin told me.

Haha, I also caught Slowpoke in a Fast Ball, and named him Fastpoke. Just for good measure I caught ten, and raised the one with the best nature. I mainly did it because my previous Slowpoke was caught in a Net Ball, and I didn't like the look of it.
