Pokemon X and Y SPOILER Discussion Thread

Gonzo The Great said:
I'm on the verge of breaking down in front of random strangers on a video game forum. I feel like crying myself to sleep, and I have an abundant amount of sleeping pills to ease me through the pain. I was always bullied as a child for liking Jynx more than popular Pokémon like Charizard and Blastoise. My classmates would routinely mock me for using such an ugly Pokémon, and the inflammatory remarks still continue online to this day. The vitriol worsened when civil rights advocates began drawing comparisons between Jynx and blackface; she was labeled by many as a mere racial stereotype, when I knew in my heart that Jynx was deserving of a more gracious reputation. Websites like IGN constantly ridicule poor Jynx for being badly designed, most likely because of her controversial roots, or maybe because she wears clothing. Pokémon that aren't based on animals are usually the most criticized within the fandom, and Jynx is certainly no exception.

Jynx, Magmar, and Electabuzz were considered to be a trio in the first generation. All three Pokémon were the only creatures in the original game that had access to the elemental punches, and all three were given baby forms in the following generation. When Electivire was first leaked in early 2006, I knew for sure that Magmar and Jynx would also be given evolutions to finalize the trio once and for all. Boy was I wrong. Poor Jynx got shafted, and her lengthy relationship with Magmar and Electabuzz was over. Maybe they're saving her evolution until a later generation, I hoped.

Although the fifth generation focused entirely on new Pokémon, I was still happy because Jynx was supposedly obtainable in the Giant Chasm, Kyurem's whereabouts. Unfortunately, this mysterious location could only be accessed post-game, but according to the recent leaks, Black and White 2 were going to change that. Finally I could use Jynx without having to defeat the Elite Four... or so I thought. Much to my disgust, Jynx was quite literally the only Pokémon in the entire cave to be removed from Black and White 2 and thereby the retconned Unova dex. At least I still have my battle simulators like Showdown and Pokémon Online. Things aren't looking good.

It's already 2013, and a new Pokémon game has just been announced. After noticing that the leaked trademark list has been accurate up until this very moment, I began to feel hopeful that for the first time in my life, Jynx will finally be getting the respect she deserves. Judging by the recent leaks, it's pretty much a guarantee that Jynx will be getting a Mega Evolution. I will finally be able to silence the haters and reign supreme using my childhood ally... but all fairy tales come to an end eventually. It's now 9:24 PM on Friday, the night before the game is supposed to be released, and Jynx is literally the only Pokémon on the list whose Mega Stone is nowhere to be found. It's as if Game Freak has been trolling me personally for nearly a decade, and I can't handle the stress anymore. For those of you who currently have the game, I beg of you; do whatever it takes to find Jynxnite. Give me some closure, so I can rest easy knowing that when I wake up to buy my copy of the game tomorrow morning, Mega Jynx will be waving her hips and patiently waiting for my arrival.

You probably unlock more as you catch more.
 
Pick Fennekin. Get Torchic. Pick Charmander.

How do I hold all these Fire types?

Fennekin will be leaving :P

Also, getting a Pikachu is a pain, but he's actually very useful for the first gym if you picked Fennekin. Surskit's Water Sport royally screws you over and it's already not weak to fire, so Pikachu can actually take care of it and do Significant damage to Vivillion.

Gym leader rematches? Please find the e4 ones. They HAVE to be in there.

They better be, and they better have 6 pokemon each, I'm already pissed off they only have 4 Pokemon. That's some weak ass shit.

There could be event only ones like Blaziken to come. But in game? No, I think this is it.

Can someone else also confirm the Mega Tyranitar stone in the Gym? I've been to the place in your picture and it is not there for me. (the time is set right). Any requirements then or a bug?

edit: looks like a bug. Leaving gym and re-entering fixed it :)

I remember in Red, I would keep Ember until level 100 cause it had more PP.

In-game, having slightly weaker moves with higher PP is a reasonable thing to do. I had an Espeon with both Psychic and Psybeam, only using Psychic when I really needed it, but it only had 10PP to Psybeam's 25.

Every Pokemon I seem to get has a -speed nature :(.

EDIT: Fuck me, I I must've accidentally pressed the cartridge out of the 3DS and now I've lost over an hour of Gameplay. FUUUUUUUCKK

I soft reset for a Chespin with good nature lol

Also Gen VI confirmed for best starting house.

Seriously.

- neighborly neighbors
- your mom has a bed
- your household owns Pokemon
- you are rich
- you don't live in an isolated area

Soft resetting for a nature I can understand, but not for a shiny considering the odds lol.

How could not a Pokemon with claw so big I mistake it for its head be the best? Of course it is the best
It's Megaman afterall
 
Who do I have to kill so they can give me Mega Banette stats? I've being asking ad nauseum, surely can't be that hard, even a screenshot so I can guesstimate no need for hard data.
 
The E4 in this game, despite not being able to challenge them again with higher lvl Pokémon, is great.

The music, the look of the league, the battles...
