There is literally a cave in this game called Zubat's Roost...
You can catch Axew in there though!

 

[IHaveIce]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK AT MEGA AGGRON HE LOOKS INCREDIBLE


Mega Despotar looks not as cool as expected but will probably rip shit.


So who is in which Version.


I had luck I got X in a store today, playing right now, not far in got a team of Froakie, Pikachu, Vivillion, Glumanda and the plant monkey thing

 

[Pegosaurus]

This is my hand. It hasn't found an early copy of Pokemon, thus it is empty.

Vegas, why won't you sell me the game?

 

[Delio]

3 more patterns, Vivillion is now the pokemon I'm the most exited about!


Middle eastern, elegant from japan and hong kong

Hong Kong's and Sandstorm forms are sooo good.

 

[Takuan]

Certainly not the one in West Edmonton Mall. Then again, their shelves are never stocked properly.

I'll give the one near my place a shot. I doubt I'll find it, but it's worth the 10-minute detour on the way back home.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Tried my luck at KMart, dude was like "lol, why did they go past 150?" and then grabbed Black 2 off the shelf and handed it to me.

Guess I'll just go the midnight release...ugh. It's gonna be sooo akward.

Someone in this thread mentioned it being easier to get shinies in X/Y than other gens. Was that just wishful thinking or is this legit?

The Mechanic Changes article mentioned it being easier, but they didn't say anything else...I still think it's tied to the Tipping Mechanic. :X

 

[GSR]

So, was the no-region-lock thing true? I have a Japanese 3DS with a capture board installed, and it'd be cool to be able to get direct-feed screens/video as I played without having to buy the Japanese version.

 

[Professor Beef]

Fuck yes. I hope it's early in the game.

Spoiler

Not kidding.

K mart guy sounds like a loser. The customer should not have to hear your crudely formed opinion on their purchase. Also what's this " tipping" thing?

 

[Rocky]

I can top that.

Shiny Jigglypuff at Safari Zone. I stood no chance in hell.

Hehe, that happened to me too. I just said fuck it and threw a ball. Incredibly it shook three times and clicked. I was so shocked, lol. And funnily enough, just this morning in Black 2, I happened upon a shiny Lillipup in Floccessy Ranch while looking for a Riolu.

 

[Vermillion]

Genwunner! one of us one of us! We accept him!

Heh, people at my GameStop saying the same thing Fuck those people 717+ ftw

 

[Malvingt2]

Old?

 

[fraktur]

Old?

brazilian looks cool

 

[CHusson91]

Going to try Target, K-Mart, and some local game stores tonight to see if I can get an early copy (US here). Wish me luck!

 

[Vermillion]

I don't even play competitively, but I"m ecstatic to see how Mega Evolutions turn out... How people time their usage, who they use, etc.

Where did you catch Pikachu?

 

[Charlie0108]

Fuck yes. I hope it's early in the game.

Spoiler

Not kidding.

It's before the second gym.

Also btw, I've not even reached the second gym yet and my Dex is seen 70, caught 51, this game is ridiculous!

 

[Milennia]

Went to a few stores around me, nothing, not even on the shelves=/

 

[Divvy]

I wonder if it's possible to get Spiritomb in this gen. I need my Spiritomb

 

[Shoyz]

So, was the no-region-lock thing true? I have a Japanese 3DS with a capture board installed, and it'd be cool to be able to get direct-feed screens/video as I played without having to buy the Japanese version.

No, apparently it doesn't boot.

 

[Orochinagis]

Old?

Hey, Mexican version looks good

 

[DedValve]

So does anyone know where to get mareep and the ampharos stone? Ever since I saw Mega Ampharos I simply MUST have it on my team asap. When I found out it also became a dragon (wtf) I couldn't even begin to comprehend.

Also for pokemons like Ampharos that gain an extra type in mega evolution how does that work with moves? Normal Ampharos can't learn a lot of dragon types moves so does that mean Mega Ampharos won't as well?

 

[PreyingShark]

lol, well that's confusing. I though that was the full list.

edit- now we are getting somewhere.

My bad, should've made it clearer when I said to "click the links".

 

[Anth0ny]

Target, Guelph, Ontario

Fuckkkkkkkk

Any other targets in Ontario selling it? ._.

 

[Village]

Mega agggron is easily 2nd best mega in my eyes. My fanboyism keeps lu number 1

 

[JennyTablina]

Where did you catch Pikachu?

Pikachu is really early on but somewhat rare in the first forest area after route 2

 

[Fireblend]

lol, well that's confusing. I though that was the full list.

edit- now we are getting somewhere.

I knew you had to be reading it wrong

 

[Charlie0108]

Pikachu is really early on but somewhat rare in the first forest area after route 2

Somewhat rare? They were popping up left, right and centre for me!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Please, please let there be a Mega Medicham.

 

[UberTag]

I wonder if it's possible to get Spiritomb in this gen. I need my Spiritomb

No Spiritomb this gen, sorry.
You'll see him in his newly animated glory in December.

 

[JennyTablina]

Somewhat rare? They were popping up left, right and centre for me!

I wonder daytime plays into this again? I know I cant get Rilou on Route 22 but couldnt find him for love nor money this morning, just caught one tonight. So maybe Pikachu is really common earlier on in the day but rare later on?

Mega aren't like normal Pokémon and their move set are same as the normal Pokémon.

Basically whatever Mega Ampharos can learn largely depends on what Ampharos can learn.

Also I think that Ampharos can learn Dragon Pulse.

 

[Winterfang]

I hope Vivillion has a cool Puerto Rican/Caribbean version.

Also I want Mega Aggron to have huge special Def. I want him as a Fairy check. I'm so disappointed with Mega Gardevoir being so frail.

 

[DMG-01]

Uh oh, I need some help; the police are knocking at my door. They're yelling something about an illegal amount of hype. I'm too pretty for jail!

 

[dc89]

Ran in the tall grass for a good 25 minutes and no joy. Hmmm.

 

[PreyingShark]

I have decided to become a Butterfly Collector.

 

[qbicfeet]

Have the exact mechanics behind Vivillon's patterns been discovered yet? Is it tied to your region setting or the region the game is from?

I'm getting a UK/European copy, so I hope that doesn't mean I'll miss out on any cool Scandinavian patterns.

 

[Linius]

I have decided to become a Butterfly Collector.

I guess we all want that

I really like to know what version I'm getting. So far no Dutch source popped up to confirm.

 

[Charlie0108]

Hmm, maybe. Have you found a Ralts on Route 4 yet btw? It says it's their on my Pokedex but I can't seem to find one.

Also, does anyone know when I get the fishing rod?

 

[Hedge]

Tipping mechanic? I thought I followed the leaks closely, but I've completely missed whatever that is (or I'm just stupid). :C

 

[Charlie0108]

Wait, tipping is related to shiny encounter rate?

 

[DedValve]

Mega aren't like normal Pokémon and their move set are same as the normal Pokémon.

Basically whatever Mega Ampharos can learn largely depends on what Ampharos can learn.

Also I think that Ampharos can learn Dragon Pulse.

I just checked, gen V ampharos can only learn outrage. Here's hoping he gets more dragon moves this gen. Now to check what electric/dragon is strong/weak against.

EDIT: Weak against ground, dragon and ice. Not bad given it's strengths.

 

[Anura]

Yeah I asked this on the last page and still haven't gotten an answer WTH is tipping?

 

[Charlie0108]

There are certain activities, such as getting your photo taken, eating at a restaurant and listening to a bard where the player can leave a tip.

 

[ramyeon]

So I've been out of the loop on spoilers for a day or so.

Do we have any updates on version exclusives? Like confirmed, that is.

 

[crooked spin]

you have to tip at least 20% or you can't get a shiny.

 

[R0ckman]

Tried my luck at KMart, dude was like "lol, why did they go past 150?" and then grabbed Black 2 off the shelf and handed it to me.

Guess I'll just go the midnight release...ugh. It's gonna be sooo awkward.

How so? The midnight goers are probably as crazy for the games as people online.

 

[JoeM86]

I never considered tipping to be tied to that. I'll look into it
