Topic: The Secret of Vivillion's Wings is Close to Being Cracked

[Turner]

Have a read of this link (images included inside).

Confirmed:
- The patterns were assigned based on climate zones.
- Each country has a pool of possible patterns.
- You only can find one pattern in the wild.
- If you get a Scatterbug from another player, it will evolve into the pattern from that player.
- When you breed Vivillon, your region assigns the pattern regardless its parents.
- Once you started playing, changing your settings doesn't affect the pattern you get.

Not confirmed:
- How is your country exactly assigned? Settings? Hard-coded? Wi-Fi?
- How is your pattern exactly assigned? Random? Based on your province or state?
- What happens if you change your settings, reset your save and start a new one?

I'm sorry, but this is really awesome. I'm gonna make sure to catch a bunch of Southern UK Garden Vivillions and put them on Wonder Trade for other players to enjoy. I hope I get some good ones too, the Sun Vivillion looks awesome. I'm so happy about this news as I took a real liking to Vivillon the first time I saw it.

[Richard and Blaziken]

Whoa, now that's a pretty cool idea! I'll be sure and catch a bunch and trade 'em off to people here! Really digging the patterns too.

Edit: Looks like I'll be getting the Modern Pattern, being that I live in Illinois! I like it! :>

[Kdintranet & Scizau]

What would happen if I got a foreign Spewpa or Scatterbug and evolved it. Would it be the design from where it came from or would it be my design?

[Wolstenholme]

It would be the design from the OT's Location.

I got a Spewpa from someone who lived in Oregon the other day which evolved into High Planes Vivillon :-)

[Kdintranet & Scizau]

Oh my goodness that is so cool!. I want to literally collect them all.

[Wolstenholme]

I'm having a shot at that... I have a Vivillon box on my PC.... but I only have two so far.... *sigh*

[Kdintranet & Scizau]

That sure beats my.... none.

[Lord Raven]

btw I'm a Meadow pattern.  Can we make a list of people with what pattern?

[Wolstenholme]

I'm a Garden Pattern and so is Dick... maybe we could make the list and then take it to the friend codes topic? - That's if Del doesn't mind.

[Del]

I've got no issue adding stuff to the main post if other people compile the lists for me.

I'm not sure what pattern I have, but I imagine it's whatever the UK one is.

[sans the skeleton]

judging by the map i may have either garden or jungle one

It's not made off the actual geographical location.  It doesn't make sense for me though.  I live in Pennsylvania.  A typical Temperate Climate state with trees all over.  You would think my Vivillon would be all nice and foresty right?  NOPE!  Polar Pattern!  lolwut?
