I just got a Charmander from a Japanese girl through wonder trade in exchange for my Crapbag (Garbodor).
I feel sorry for her :(

I LOVE Wonder Trade! It's so easy and so much fun!

Is a godsend when you are trying to throw away your breeding failures like what I did with all those pesky male combees

Thats because togepi is valuable while male combee is not, is like comparing a starter with a bidoof  

Well this is the first time I've ever legitimately trained my team to level 100. Obviously the Experience Share is a huge reason for that, but it's pretty cool nonetheless. Audino's give out massive amounts of Exp. ^_^

Now I'm starting to rebreed my starting team (Delphox, Pangoro, Blastoise, Goodra, Gourgeist, and Aurorous). I suppose you can call me a casual hardcore Pokemon player, as I'm not really interested in breeding perfect IVs, meticulously breeding for egg moves, or spending hours finding a hidden ability. Just breed a solid Pokemon and see where we go from there.

Audinos are still around? Huh. Though i do remember seeing a picture of one in a house somewhere in Y.

I tend to feel like things are getting a bit easier. Valerie was a cakewalk, with the only moment of doubt being Venusaur vs Mr. Mime (where i used Mega just to hedge my bets against Mr. Mime throwing a devastating psychic counterattack)

Now i finally have a fairy-type attack for my Azumarill!
