Can someone tell me what this is saying about Deoxys?

Hey check out Revans thread the master breeder is here...

Can someone tell me what this is saying about Deoxys?

I'm pretty sure number one says, look at this awesome move set!

I think it's: Psycho Boost, Zap Cannon, Iron Defense, and Extremespeed.

Number 2 says, "It's in a Cherish Ball!"

Number 3 says, "It has a freaking commerative ribbion!"

Number 4 says, "Awesome hold item!"

Thank you. Does it say anything about the OT?

 

[Belthazar]

Not visibly. It does say, though, that its type is Psychic (i.e. ESPer) and its ability is Pressure... though you probably knew that already. =)

You trying to figure out if you've been sent a dodgy Deoxys in trade?

Yep.

 

[Crankyman]

Check the level and the ball it's in.

 

[Vereux0]

It's Cherish and Lvl. 50, but the OT is "10th", that's what it says on Serebii, but it says "Eigakan" instead of えいがかん on Serebii, too.

 

[Belthazar]

You know "えいがかん" is "Eigakan" in hiragana, don't you? It means "cinema".

 

[Vereux0]

Yeah, but I don't know if 10th is supposed to be in hiragana or English.

 

[Crankyman]

Um... Numbers are the same all over the world.

 

[Vereux0]

Oh OK, so even with -th numbers?

 

[Crankyman]

Wait. It's prolly hacked. Does it have the Classic Ribbon? Sorry for double posting.

 

[Kthleen]

Number 4 actually says it's holding Tokenai Koori (Nevermeltice). Number 3 says it has a "Classic Ribbon."

Um... Numbers are the same all over the world.

Interesting, I don't recall being taught "じゅうばんめ"/"十番目" in school until I took a Japanese class....

 

[Crankyman]

Yeah. I didn't exactly think straight. Actually, I looked up the ribbon, and it has the classic ribbon, which prevents GTS trading and it holds the Nevermeltice. So if you got it from a direct link trade it might be okay. If it's a GTS trade, it's fake.

 

[Vereux0]

Well, does anyone know if it's supposed to be like "10番目" or something or "10th"? Also, I didn't get it off GTS it has the Classic Ribbon.

 

[Belthazar]

Not sure if trading for it by GTS is possible anyway, since you need to have seen one in order to ask for it.

 

[Vereux0]

I have seen a Deoxys.

 

[Belthazar]

Naturally, given you just traded for one. =)

In any case, from here I don't think you have much to worry about. The use of Hindu-Arabic numerals in Japan (and other countries which don't use the Latin alphabet) is increasing all the time, even to the use of English ordinal numbers like 10th. If it is a forgery, it seems to be a very good one.

 

[Vereux0]

Well, unfortunately, it was a hack. Fortunately, I found someone who was willing to trade a legit one.
