I hope for gen 7 they focus on unused/rarely used type combinations for pokemon (it numbers in the 50s).

Make a geyser pokemon (fire/water).
A poisonous electric eel (electric/poison)
A wyvern which uses volcanic rock as a shell (Think Agnaktor from Monster Hunter. Dragon/Rock)

etc
 
So, can I just go into the GTS as soon as I get to it (where's it at?) and ask for a Bergmite? Want to use one but don't want to wait to catch it so late. Or is it caught late? It's near the end of the Dex so I'd assume so.



I'm not sure but I assume so.

Also, does anyone know why the Bug Catcher trainer class seems to have been completely dropped from the games entirely? Not in Gen V or VI

A regional thing? Catching bugs as a hobby is sort of a Japanese thing I guess, don't really hear about that in U.S. or France.

But Alder in Gen V is the ultimate Bug Catcher though turned Champion, lol.
 
Huh, just realized that with Jynx, Latios and Latias, we'll be at a perfect 30 Mega Evolutions.

No Gen V Pokemon pisses me off.

I guess it's too soon or something, but there were plenty with more potential. I think Vanilluxe and Klinklang having Megas that switched up their sort of plain, "more heads!" evolution would be well-received.

Why doesn't the game let me nickname my Bulbasaur as SLAVE or SLAVE-01? Are there any restrictions?
It's a banned word.

I also wonder if they've fixed the glitch where Cofagrigus couldn't be GTS'd in Gen V due to having a slur in its name.

Hey, nothing to say 30's the limit. There could be more, including Gen V Pokemon.

Lol yeah, that was hilarious
 
Is it me or Yveltal is too easy to catch?
Red HP -> Hyper Ball -> Done!
And I forgot to use an Aura to increase the capture rate, it surprised me.

This seems to be the most newcomer friendly Pokemon ever... a lot of the major mechanics seem to have been streamlined so someone coast through the entire game.

This is frightening when the first person I watched catch Yvetal got it on their first try too.
 
Mega Scizor has chainsaws, holy shit

It makes sense when the legendary is required to be caught/beaten in order to progress through the story.
 
Heracross and Scizor are up there with my favorite 'mons, but I'm not really feeling the Megas. They're still cool, it's just that both are steps down, visually. Scizor's arms and legs are pretty bad, and Heracross's arms and sort of it's face aren't very cool. Glad to have those guys exist though.

Houndoom, Gengar, and Alakazam all look great though. :)
 
I have a question about mega's, not sure if i've seen it answered or not... Can you have a full party of 6 Pokemon holding mega stones? I know you can only have one Mega Pokemon out at a time during a battle, just not sure whether the game lets you have six different Pokemon on a team, all holding mega stones.

Yes you can.
 
For those interested, the Torchic you get from Mistery Gift. Its not set.

I got one with a nature that decreases Attack and increase Speed.

Reloaded the save. Got one with higher HP and a different Nature.

The only "fixed nature" giveaway Pokemon I've heard about thus far is Lucario. Are there others?

I wonder if you can get it shiny.

(Though unfortunately Shiny Blaziken doesn't look that different and isn't worth the effort imo)

I say thanks. Now to decide between adamant or jolly.
 
Went to the midnight launch in Liverpool and got my brother Y my X is coming from Amazon tomorrow though so I have to wait.

How long were you waiting in line? I'm kind of nervous going to one on my own, it's in a bad neighborhood and kind of far from my house...but I'm more worried about walking in and being the only adult there. :X
 
Real talk: Do we abandon this thread for the OT in a couple hours when it launches? I think 0:00 EST is the latest timezone that the games release in. What's the protocol here?
