Ohh so I'm not limited by the base stats after all (only by the universal maximum EV number per status per total)!!?
Haha! :)

I got a question about Dream World... It doesn't seem to want to recharge on Black now, and I was wondering both what might have caused this and how I can fix it.

Did you switch over to Daylight Savings Time? If so, the time switch prevents you from using Game Sync for another day.

Nope, it's been on cooldown now for what seems like a week. I can still get on with white, but it has a serious hate-on for the black cartridge.

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

Concerning the Reshiram/Zekrom US distribution, I've been soft resetting to try and get a Reshiram with a timid nature and I keep getting the same ~10 natures, none of which are timid. Do I just have terrible luck, or is there a fix on the possible natures you can get from this distribution? I've been doing this for awhile, so I have a petty good sample size.

I think you might just be having bad luck. It took me an hour to get an Adamant Victini yesterday, just keep resetting and you'll get it.

Guess you were right, just started trying again, got quirky 5 times in a row and finally a timid. Thanks!

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

Question - Is there a possible way for a Prankster Sableye to learn both Sucker Punch and Recover? I faced one in the VGC last week and have only just now realised that according to Bulbapedia, it shouldn't be possible. However, Pokémon Online doesn't flag it up as an illegal combination - so is there a way?

EDIT: Just found out it's legal. A friend explained it as thus:
However, a 4th gen male Sableye bred with Recover can be tutored Sucker Punch in HGSS, and then bred with female Prankster Sableye, thus making this a legal combination.

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

If I breed a red basculin with a ditto, am I only going to get red basculin offspring?

I believe Red Basculin will always yield Red Basculin, and Blue Basculin will always yield Blue Basculin.

What do moves like Double Kick look like in Stadium, Colosseum, XD, and Battle Revolution does it show the pokemon kicking the target?

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

Since breeding Nidoran F and Illumise can result in Nidoran M and Volbeat offspring respectively, could these offspring inherit their hidden abilities from a DW mother?

My dream-bred level 100 nidoking says hi.
(Do be sure not to evolve the potential mother in this case, because Nidorina and Nidoqueen can't breed.)

If you have any queries about an egg move combinations' legality, you can always ask me since I breed (bred, haven't done many for a while) loads :3

Yep!

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

Perhaps this is an obvious question...
Ok so say a 2 stage 'mon evolves at 25, but you restrict it from levelling until... let's say, 35. Ignoring all IVs and EVs, would the level-inhibited 'mon have lower stats at 100 than the one you let evolve right away? I've been wondering about this for a while, but never tested it out.

Assuming IV's and EV's are equal for both, there'd be no difference.

Is there an attendance max for VGC regionals this year? I haven't seen one anywhere so I'm guessing not.

Re: Simple Questions / Simple Answers (Gen 5)

I may sound stupid, but I want to clarify some important stuff.

I heard that Steel-types are immune to poison, but a friend told me that they CAN be poisoned one way or another. How?? By the ability Poison Point? Spore? By holding Poison-orbs? By getting Synchronized with the poisoned opponenet?? By Toxic Spikes? HOW???
