United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Saudi Arabia... so it does make sense that there might not be that many players there...

Dream Radar always seemed like it would be absolute torture, but hey, that is one way to get them.

Oh lord, that is quite the obscure area...

And, hysterically, I'm having fun with Dream Radar...When it lets me play. If they did it in a less gimmicky manner (Not having the player need to stand in the middle of the room, remove all the limitations, etc) and put a little more depth into it, they'd have a pretty decent game with nice connectivity. It's most definitely not for everyone, but I think if they tweaked it, it could work.

My brother has had dream radar since launch... He hasn't touched it at all.

It's a good way to net the Forces of Nature without chasing them down in game.
I'm one Landorus away from having the trio :D

I've managed to acquire on the GTS (after ditching that hacked shiny) what I assume are two legit Tornadus and a Thundurus. The Therian Formes (...which again makes Dream Radar useful of course...) are pretty cool now that I can finally have them.

Nice!
I've gotten some good Pokemon off the GTS, but my luck has run out, recently. Either that, or Raikou has suddenly just become super powerful over the Generation shift...

Looking at Landorus right now since for some reason my Zapdos won't move for one and holy fucking shit are there a lot of shinies on the GTS for it.

I'm positive not a single one is legitimate.

Now that Bank's fully out I almost want to just step away from the GTS again since I just hate hacked stuff and don't want them on my games...

But it's the only way I'll get a Shaymin and Manaphy, but there aren't even any of those listed at all.

I'm not investing my time in PKMN Bank since I can't transfer all the Shiny Pokémon I slaved over a hot Action Replay to obtain then max out to LV100, so either I wait until I can hack Pokémon Bank, wait until I can get the necessary codes for X/Y, or I stick with my Black 2 version and not bother with Generation VI at all.

I'm pretty sure as long as the Pokemon themselves seem legitimate you can pass them.

That's so weird! Obviously, Diamond never got a legit release of either of those, so perhaps it's because of the Fateful Encounter flag being so critical to Sky Forme (even though a D/P Shaymin would still have it) that Nintendo was so much more strict about it, while Darkrai has no reason for such restriction so it was no big deal to let it through.

Hot damn, am I having fun transferring many of my old Pokémon to X with the Bank! Right now, I'm focused on getting some of the best, harder to find and the legends, but eventually I'll sort through them enough that I'll complete a living 'dex and then begin to ensure that my old teams are immortalized. I'll be honest, there's a little part of me that feels touched at the heartwarming idea proposed in the Pokémon Direct of being able to share my old favorites with future generations. *sniff*
