Have used GTS for a bit now, and I have a few questions... if it's not too much to ask
1) What does Pokerus mean?
2) Why is everyone crazy about shiny pokemon
3) What are clans? (Water clan, fire clan..... etc)
4) What are HAs?
5) What are IVs and the Gen III Gen V stuff?
(This keeps a Firered+Sapphire+Silver user locked in confusion @@ xD)
I shall capture 5 extra Pokemon then ^^
How do I know if you are online?
Thanks in advance~
Edit: Well I found out that I can find all these answers in this forum! ^-^ Thanks again!
1. Pokerús is a Pokémon virus. Back in the day, long time ago, people used to believe that Pokerús was bad and they would restart their entire games. In reality, Pokerús is a game mechanic that doubles the EV gain of your infected Pokémon, this means that you can train them faster. I will be doing a Pokerus giveaway this month. Read this.
2. I am not crazy about Shiny Pokemon. People like them because some of the look better than the original sprites, but it is a trade off, some look better, some look worse. Catching a shiny is based on its aesthetic value, they usually don't have good stats, unless you hack them.
3. Clans? Nope. Its called Types. Water, Fire, Grass, Rock, Steel, Fairy, Dark, etc, etc, etc. This is relevant to battle mathematics, a Water type Pokemon will have powerful attacks vs a Fire type Pokemon; Read this. Download this.
4. HAs = Hidden Abilities. Pokemon have normal abilities (NA) and hidden abilities. Hidden abilities are harder to obtain in a Pokemon and when breeding, the female with HA is the only that can pass down such HAs. Hidden Abilities tend to be more powerful than NAs, but during battle, HAs sometimes even damage the user, so you need to be careful when to have a HA Pokemon. Read this.
5. IVs = Individual Values.. They are Pokemon Stats, but they are invisible, you can't see them inside the game. It is like Pokemon DNA. IVs go from 0 to 31 pts, from weak to strong. a Perfect Pokemon will have 6 IVs and all at 31 points. IVs are hard to explain, so I recommend to watch youtube videos and read stuff online. But in essence, if your enemy has a Speed IV of 9 and you have a Speed IV of 31, it means that your Poke is faster, but it is not as straight forward as that, you also have to consider the Pokemon base stats & nature.

You need to add my IGN and FC to your DS, I had already added you. When we both go online, we can trade Pokes over the internet.
