Scott having a Combee in his Safari is too fitting, I love it. Too bad Safaris can't be multiple types, because I would bet his other two would be Klink and Spiritomb otherwise.
EDIT: I really need to friend more people on that spreadsheet. Also, my safari is Dragon type. I believe the 'mons available are Noibat, Fraxure, and Sliggoo.
Oh, you have now that I check, you just must have never been online the same time as I was.
We should pick a time to all be online simultaneously, perhaps with a G+ Hangout. Then we should have a Poketournament.
But, to make it fair for people like me who have not trained my Pokes for 1000 hours, we should have some sort of limitation. Perhaps we only allow Pokemon if they are freshly caught from the tall grass. Or maybe everyone puts 6 Pokes in the wonder trade, and whatever you get back is your team. Lots of luck involved in that one, but it will be hilarious anyway.
We could also make it the Nuzlocke of battle tournaments. Single elimination brackets. If a Poke goes down, it's down for the rest of the tournament.
The first six Pokes you beat the Elite Four with, before breeding super-Pokemon becomes really practical? The game will scale them all to level 50 for us and will ban legendaries and the like.
Although wonder trade tournament sounds super enticing...

But, but... isn't Spiritomb technically Legendary? I mean, he's the FORBIDDEN POKEMON

Wonder trade makes this unworkable... I had Protean Greninja with 5 perfect IVs when I fought the elite 4.
Actually, surprisingly, I checked Smogon where they're still working on an XY banlist, and Wobuffet/Wynaut haven't been banned yet. Infinite-battle sets and Blaziken have been, though.
Edit: Apparently, balance changes in B/W (such as reducing the duration of Encore) have not made Wobuffet ridiculously broken anymore.
Maybe for a tournament, use Pokemon freshly caught from the Friend Safari, no Super Training/EV training allowed? Then everyone's pretty even, since all Pokes from there have at least two perfect IVs and all come at the same level.
Yeah, dittos are mostly useful for creating females that have decent starting point IVs. I have 1 with 2 31s already, but I could use some variety. I'm actually more interested in filling my Dex. I have a pretty long list of things I want just to complete the Kalos dex. (Mareep, whar yuu bee??)
We could hold it after you get there, silly. :P After the second badge, it doesn't take a very long time to get the rest and beat the E4, especially not if you've been using the EXP Share.

Why would you not use the EXP Share?
Also, I'm in the town with the magic rocks. The evil team just went into the secret place at the dead end. I tried to strength the rock, but that doesn't work. Am I missing the obvious way to get in there, or do I just come back later?

I used it all through my first playthrough, and I ended up being way higher than everything else in the game by the last big battles. The level curve was laughably unable to keep up. On a second playthrough, I alternated having it on and off, and it was a much better balance between being challenging and not having to grind.

You come back later. Don't worry, they'll tell you loud and clear when you need to go back.

Also, no Encore-Counter-Mirror Coat Wobuffets or Wynauts, jerks. I know at least one of you thought it.

(Although, unfortunately, I just discovered that you can't breed Dittos together, so no almost-perfect-IV Dittos for me.)
