I'd rather see the same old same old if that means more money and more EXP. I guess that also means you can't have better battles with Gym Leaders.
Okay, I can't find a place in Lumiose, can't buy anything at the Pokemon League, where can I buy Quick Balls and all the rest of them? |

I bred some Pokemon the other day and sent them over to my new Y version to use them in this run, and noticed that they were in Ultra Balls rather than Poke Balls! I guess whichever kind of Poke Ball you have first in your inventory becomes the one used when hatching babies, which is a small but nice addition to the game.

"O-Powers" were not in Gen V. They're something similar, but different. They're not obsolete, it's called "I wanna cut the amount I have to do in half because I'm lazy." Don't you know how the system works? If I can't buy those all at the same place it's practically pointless. The Battle Chateau is useless to me. Everyone only has 2 Pokemon, they're low levels, and to raise them I need to pay. This region is way too greedy. And I don't really have buddies like that, so that won't happen. |

Also, if there is one thing I miss that could be grouped with the other generational gimmicks, it's the Secret Bases, particularly how they were handled in Gen III. It was awesome mixing records and finding the Secret Bases hidden around Hoenn. The best part was you could battle their team every day. The Underground in Gen IV was awesome too, but more so because of the mining game than the Secret Bases. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; October 23, 2013 at 01:00:58 PM. Reason: Verb tenses |

One feature I actually do like about this game is the Battle Maison. BP earnings are so much more sensible now! And because my Pokemon were trained right winning is ridiculously easy. There's also this flippant Nurse Joy that gives this tirade about the nurse stereotype. I love her, new waifu~<3

20 normal battles in the Battle Maison- 48 BP
21 normal battles in the Battle Subway or other Tower- 16 BP And that is why the Battle Maison will be my new favorite thing. I feel like there's more emphasis on competitive PvP content and less emphasis on in-game adventuring... Oh yeah, that was one of my issues with the game. Despite my RPG urge to talk to every single character there is, I could not explore Lumiose City. Navigation just gets extremely confusing, and that's frustrating. Congrats, GameFreak, you have made an area way too large for me to handle. |

Remember the Yveltal sticker that I had? Well, I did an ill-advised attempt of removing it.
Now I'm one sticker less. At least the residue is easy to clean up... And there's probably a newer, better one with the next pre-order game. |

Yup, the Battle Maison is EVERYTHING. You can rest after every battle and continue your streak whenever you feel like it. Combined with that sweet BP boost, I don't know how much more generous they could be. Free evolution stones every time you beat the Maison... French-word leaders? And I love the fact that you can change the music, though I will never move it off of Vs. Gym Leader (Music 4.)
And there's this. Endless giggles. |
#335

The Battle Maison is full of too much critical hit hax. Lost against the leader thanks to that. It's annoying you have to go through twenty battles to try again, too. I remember most of the gym leaders in the Pokémon World Tournament were pushovers by comparison.
|
#336

||||

I like how you italicize twenty even though that's still less than the Battle Tower/Subway.
Maybe you're just an unlucky guy. I won on my first try and got the BP overflow of a lifetime. And yet I haven't made it back to the leader yet because something always stops me on battle 18 or 19 |

Yeah somehow the leader sent out purugly and kept spaming hypnosis and dream eater, i couldnt do a thing even though my pokemon where faster than it, it somehow always went first and hit me with a 60% hit rate move. And i used Evd pokes with max speec ivs too. (heck even garchomp lost to it O.o)

Glameow isn't obtainable in this game and there's something I want to point out.
Someone at Game Freak must really hate that Cat because in the last 11 game versions Glameow has only been available in two of them! One of them only available through special means meaning Glameow has barely been catchable since Pearl! Seriously I think it's gotten to a point where most legendaries are more easily available then this freaking cat! |

That makes it more difficult for me to use Ferrothorn. I liked all the resistances and normalized weaknesses it had, making it one of my favorite Grass types. But anything with the right Ghost move could tear it apart, as I have already seen (and done myself.) But in all fairness, it balances out Aegislash and his Uber-tier amazingness. If its only weaknesses were the very physical Fire and Ground... it might be in the Hyper-Uber tier with Speed Boost Mega Blaziken.

I believe StreetPasses will put the person you passed into the Passerby section if you do not know them, and the Friend section if you do know them. The former of the previous sentence is conjecture since I've friended all 3DS X&Y players in my campus that I've met so far. But the latter is true. |

I just experienced the most embarrassing loss ever. My entire team felled by a single Lunatone. It kept spamming Hypnosis and Confusion, and for some reason Confusion kept getting lucky and always made my mons "hurt themselves in the confusion". Rock Polish didn't help either. It kept going first.

Here's something that seriously irritates me.
I decided to try Wi-Fi battles because I was bored. However everyone I faced had all these competative teams set up. THE GAME HASN'T EVEN BEEN OUT FOR A FULL MONTH CAN'T PEOPLE ENJOY IT WHILE THEY STILL CAN BEFORE WORRYING ABOUT EV TRAINING!!!! Seriously I'm really annoyed by this. Also Boom Burst is a broken move.

Hm, am I the only person who finds it strange that the Stone Emporium sells Water, Leaf, and Fire Stones but does not sell Thunder Stones? I know you can easily get them from Super Training, but it's still kind of strange.
Also, a random aside: Thunderstone was changed to Thunder Stone in Pokémon X/Y (like several other items, including Tiny Mushroom and Paralyze Heal). The thunderstone (and the firestone) is a real concept, albeit an obsolete one. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; October 31, 2013 at 12:25:28 PM. |

Strange, apparently they slightly tweaked Soft Resetting. Instead of L+R+Start+Select, it's either L+R+Start or L+R+Select. I wonder why they made that minor tweak. Easier on the hands to press, especially for those fat ugly 3DS XLs?

Style lowers the cost of the starter Mega Stones at the Stone Emporium, taxicab rides, and the shops around Lumiose City. It also unlocks additional hairstyles, Furfrou trims, juices, and PR video effects. Finally, as mentioned, it grants access to Boutique Couture.

Oh please, I still need to create a new grass team (Most likely an All Generation Grass) and a perfect Speed Boost Mega Blaziken so I can advocate how unrivaled it is. But it's only for singles and maybe rotationals, I'd die in a double battle and I'd be too confused in a single battle

Well, it was inevitable, but it finally happened. My honeymoon period with X and Y has ended and now its time to get down to business. The game has astounded me visually and design-wise, but now I must go back to what I am best at: intense grinding and team building!
There are a number of Pokemon I can catch in-game to help me build competitive teams, but this generation there seems to be a strong focus on interacting with other trainers which means I will need to do a lot of trading. I'll be doing a lot of trading with people on this site and other sites, which will keep me quite busy. EV training seems far easier this generation, but the process of hatching eggs for natures and IVs is torture enough. I'm going to have to do a lot of research to find the quickest way to breed and get moves on certain Pokemon. I have two teams in mind, which means around 10 Pokemon I want to breed. ...this is going to be a lot of work. |

Breeding this gen seems to be a lot easier than before. With the boosts to IV breeding, egg moves, and hidden abilities even I enjoy breeding. Considering I used to hate it with all my heart, this is a good thing. I'm actually looking forward to battling other people. |

Breeding makes me sleepy, so I make sure I do it before going to bed. Anyways, it's really a pain to do. I just get the right nature, gets Everstone. Find male with a high IV of some kind, give it Power item. After that, whatever Egg gets "outstanding" or "above average" works for me.

#378

Constant breeding can make me angry, but then again everything can so it's nothing new. I always look for relatively superior Pokemon with the IVs I want. And if it somehow turns out to have outstanding potential it's just <3333

I got so scared when I accidentally pressed "Save battle video." I thought it was going to overwrite. I heard that the number of Battle Videos might have been increased but I flipped when I saw that the max was 100. And MOCK BATTLING. It's like having a Wifi battle with a CPU of your friends~ I feel so not alone~

How on Earth is this fair?! The Battle Institute cheats as much as the Battle Maison, and this one guy had four legendary Pokémon! And of course, accuracy hax at its finest: I lost 1-0 with Latios at 10 HP thanks to Dazzling Gleam missing.

I don't think the Battle Institute is meant to be fair. It was the most competitive part of B/W. I think it tests your one team's skill against generated teams from the NU tier all the way to Ubers. But I don't see anymore cheating in the Battle Maison, the opponents faint too fast for me

Also, I noticed this with battle videos a little while ago: I swapped out my DS's SD card about a week after X and Y came out. I had two battle videos saved on it. I tried to move all my X and Y data, including the saves and battle videos, to a different card; the game told me that had invalidated the save file and I had to restart it. When I finished the game again and picked up the VS recorder again, I still had the two battle videos from my original save file. They were perfectly unchanged. Does this happen to everyone who's restarted their game, or just because I tried swapping SD cards? Last edited by Dragonite; November 7, 2013 at 06:33:54 PM. |

I have just now beaten every single Battle Chatelaine and unlocked the Super Challenges. My team is working so well for me that I might just stick with Supers instead of staying with the regular. I wonder how rewarding it is at 20 battles...

While beating the Maison Chatelaines for the Battle Videos I somehow accumulated 256 BP. That's insane, I've never had this much before, and if I beat it just one more time I'll roll over to 300. Even if Kalos is the greediest region of them all, it's also the most generous.
One thing that's been on my mind for a while now: what happens if you use Trick or whatever on a Pokemon holding a Mega Stone? |

So, I was chaining for a Pokémon recently. When I got to around chain #25, the Pokeradar music changed (there were more trumpets and horns and it was faster). Anybody know what this means?
I've heard that it might mean that there's a high possibility to find a shiny Pokémon, but I don't know. My chain ended at 31. EDIT: I actually found the theme, it's called Pokeradar Panic Last edited by Reuniclus; November 9, 2013 at 07:17:38 PM. |
