/ekx/ requests

How to make requests go smoother, both to the requester and the genner:

>Making the sets using showdown teambuilder then exporting, is encouraged: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/teambuilder
PKHeX can easily import the sets (ctrl+click on species with set in clipboard), and if the genner has a base mon close to the one you're asking, it's pretty much done after importing. Showdown doesn't use pokéballs, but you can which ball you'd like by putting it in parenthesis below your exported set.

>If you've genned before and understands legality, or otherwise has the ready-to-inject file but can't inject yourself, you can make things even easier by making your pokémon directly on PKHeX and posting its QR code or pk6/ek6 file
PKHeX can also import QR codes from links if the link is in clipboard (alt+click on "QR!"), which is the same thing as uploading the pk6 without the hassle of finding somewhere to host). To save the QR file, just click QR and paste it on Paint (please don't screw up the crop) and save, and if you use 4chan-X (https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x), you can just ctrl-V from PKHeX directly into 4chan.

>If you're asking for battle ready pokémon that is GTSable (i.e no event pokémon), leave a trashmon on the GTS (not something from first routes or otherwise super common as those sometimes do not show up; wild pokémon from later routes work) asking for the pokémon you want, also limiting the level (usually 41-50 or 91+), and put some message to be recognized, such as "/vp/" or "/ekx/". This way the genner and the requester won't need to be online at same time.

Legality stuff:

>Defog
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Defog_(move)
Anything that isn't on "level up" or "breeding" line will be unable to have gen 6 pentagon if you want it to know Defog. Giving special attention to this move since it's fairly popular but super badly distributed in gen 6.

>The following legendaries can only be shiny in past gens, so if you ask for any of them shiny, they won't have pentagon:
Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Mewtwo, Kyogre, Groudon, Deoxys, Shaymin, Darkrai, Manaphy.
