I never understood why people look for low-level legendaries

1. It requires cheating
2. The only purpose is to make the stats a little bit higher
3. Legendaries aren't allowed in the level of play in which you would need max stats

[Regulith]

That feel when I need to breed a Magnemite with a nature that isn't stuff with the right ability and the perfect Hidden Power type but it takes forever just to get a single egg and hatch it

[DracoSoul]

a foreign ditto/magnemite would make it more likely

[Wynd_Fox]

There are a few reasonable ones on the GTS, but only a few. You should be access all available trades, instead of the six or something they show you.

In what way? :v

I don't think using a foreign Pokemon would tell the game that I want a Magnemite with Magnet Pull, Ice Hidden Power, and a nature that reduces Attack if anything

or be able to search for people seeking a pokemon you're offering

Agreed. If Gen VI doesn't have it...I'll still buy all of the games. But I'll be slightly less happy about it.

[Regulith]

If there isn't an auto-50/100, 6-Pokemon option for Wi-fi in the next generation I'm gonna be mad

[Wynd_Fox]

I'm really surprised that wasn't in this generation.

[Regulith]

I'm really pissed off that it wasn't

[Vegetarian Zombie]

okay I'm going to do an interesting little challenge

I'm going to randomly generate 6 hoenn pokemon using my handy-dandy random pokemon generator

and I will hatch the lvl 5 eggs of each pokemon

start at the beginning of the game (littleroot)

and fight my way through the entire game with this set


draco I think you've mentioned something like this in passing
but gen III is not online


so
I will generate until I find 6 first evolution pokemon

I will use the following:

Cacnea (not bad so far)
Lileep (ohhh lord)
Tailow (not awful I guess)
Azurill (:P okay I suppose)
Swablu (oh god no)
Minun (my entire team just died)

well
a grass/dark
a rock/grass
a normal/flying
a pure water
another normal/flying
and a pure electric (of which sucks)

Well.

This oughta be interesting.

I'll post the natures and stuff when I'm finished hatching.

[Anti-Block]

I've got a great strategy for a grass type(namely that flower-girl one in gen5).
You teach it Teeter dance, and then EV train its speed and spec.attack as priority.
Then, you can almost always use Teeter dance on an opponent, which will confuse them. I've found that in Gen 6, the first attack used by a pokemon that just got confused almost ALWAYS hits themselves.
this gives you time to either-
-use an attack like stun or sleep spore, or other sleep/stun attack to gain another move.
-use a power up attack.
