No, that's natural. First of all, the number of people in your city determine the quality/availability of the buildings therein.

As time passes without you interacting with the characters living inside your city, they leave, and the quality of your city decreases. Eventually, you get a practical ghost town. The only way to get back those people who left is to use Entralink and enter into someone else's White Forest, and invite NPCs back to your Black City. Then, the whole process starts over again. To maintain your city's population, you must interact with the NPCs often. Or they'll leave again.

I kind of hate that feature. If you don't get there fast enough, everything is gone. Its like you have to rush there and finish the main part of the game really fast. Then after everything is gone, theres no way to get it back unless you have a friend or another ds so you can use the entralink. I have no friends that play Pokemon and I only have one ds, so mine has to stay a ghost town.

They're supposed to disappear unless you connect entralink with another player and invite the townspeople over to yours.

It would depend on who you talk to. Some people would say thats its legit and fine, but others dont like the fact that one (or both) of its parents are hacks.

I don't know, but I do know that Larvesta learns a new move every ten levels. So does Smeargle.

Most people would consider it hacked as it contains the same genetic makeup as a hacked Pokemon. At the end of the day, it's ultimately your decission on whether you accept it as hacked or not.

Putting ethics aside, in terms of the hard fact of whether a hack check will pick up on if a Pokémon is hacked because its parents are - no, the hack check will not pick it up.

Is the gender ratio for pokemon the same in the dream world as in the games? or, at least for pokemon with 50/50 gender ratios, are the females rarer because they can pass on the ability? Also how much is one "stage" as in if you use work up it raises both attack stats by one "stage?"

No, In the Dream World, females are rarer than males, even those with in game 50/50 gender ratios, I assume females are rarer because they pass on the ability. Also as for stats raising a "stage", the stat can only be raised 6 stages using those kinds of moves iirc.

I believe this will help you understand what is meant when "stage" is mentioned. It's basically a stat multiplier in which each "stage" multiplies a certain amount with the stat affected to determine its new value, whether an increase in power, or decrease in accuracy ect.

What happens if you give a Shedinja a Focus Sash?
