Oh, there's an update for Pokemon X/Y available at eshops. Ver. 1.1. Does this fix the saving issue in Lumiouse City?

Yup, it is.

By improved do they mean actual improvements or just "no longer gives communication error if you try to use the filters"?

Are items like calcium and protein usable after a pokemon is fully EV-trained, or are they just a way to speed up the process?
If that stat has more than 100 EVs in it or your total is 510 you can not use them. So in that sense that it speeds up the process really. 49k (bargain level 3) for 100 EVs (10 EVs per use).

But the time it takes to use 10 of those items is might be possible to kill 2 optimal hordes (which net the same or more EVs under optimal condition of appropriate stat power item held and Pokerus).

Also worth noting that the EV-down berries (there are mutations/cross pollination, you'll have to grow combinations of other berries) when used on a stat with EV greater than 100 reduce it to 100. But if EV in the stat <=100 it will remove 10 EVs (these berries can be quicker than finding a reset bag in super training when sorting out EV problems).

Most likely the latter. I couldn't use the region filter or the Pokemon I own filter. I didn't try yet though.

Downloaded the patches for X and Y, but now I am downloading AA5.
 
Here's hoping the level 1 adamant speed boost Torchic I just got on Wonder Trade has decent IVs!

I got a Timid Protean Froakie in wondertrade that had 0 ivs in speed :(

I swear Wondertrade breaks my heart too often.

On the bright side, I managed to flip it for a Safari Ditto in GTS.
 
Is there a way to backup my save? I'm thinking of restarting the game but I already put 45 hours into the game and dont want to lose my old progress lol >__>

Trade the pokemon you wanna keep to someone and get them to trade them back.

Don't think there's a save backup function for this.
 
Hey guys, I'm presently Breeding a Scyther until I get a pretty good (or perfect one).

I finally got a Adamant Scyther so I can go to the next step, IV's.

Since I cannot get a Scyther in Safari (no one got one so far, so I don't expect it's a rare one) to have one with 2 perfect IV, what would be the best course for me to take?

Farm Dittos Until I get good ones with the right IV, then Breed new scythers (with the destiny Knot) while changing Dittos from time to time until I get the perfect one?

The perfect one would be 31/31/31/x/31/31 anyway.

Wait until the cloud bank comes out in December, then you can back up your Pokemon and restart.

By the time it comes out, you hopefully won't feel too bad about re-collecting all the items and stuff.

That would work. You could also check if you have anything in your Safari that breeds with Scyther. It could make getting IVs easier.

As long as it's a female Scyther, any bug will do.

Why do you disregard the fourth stat?
 
I guess this has already been asked before, but 91 pages is a bit daunting. Is there any reason for leaving a tip? I have when I was able to, but I swear I'm poorer in this game than I was in any of the others.

If you tip everyone $1000 in the game Nintendo sends you an e shop code for Pokemon Blue.

Amulet coin and trainer prize money O-power (especially on Gym leader, rival, important team flare people*) have me richer than I've ever been...not at the 8th Gym and I have over 2 million...

*-You can easily be getting 60k from a battle of these.

But as for tipping. Given how many shinies were found people thought tipping helped here but there is no evidence (besides, there being over 4 million players is an explanation).
 
Oh man, I wish I knew Sylveon couldn't remember Baton Pass from the move reminder after you've forgotten it. I gave her shadow ball to try her as a bulky Calm Mind sweeper and it was working, but I wanted to be able to switch her back to a CM Baton Passer for other sweepers.
 
Perhaps someone here can help answer my question, because I have yet to find an answer: I picked up an Aspear Berry yesterday and accidently used it when making mulch, so now I no longer have it. I was hoping I could get another one from the same place today, but no luck. Will the original spot eventually drop another berry for me to pick up, or do I have to use alternate methods?

Another one will fall off the original tree eventually, but it can take a few days.
 
How can you check Xerneas'/Yveltal's IVs just after you capture them? I found this on the internet:



Is it accurate?
I've heard you can kill it and then come back right after, and have it so you can soft reset, see it's nature and all that without watching cutscenes. Try it and see if it works.
 
Yeah, those are the stats with 30-31 in all IVs.

Thank you! I hope we'll see gen VI calculators soon.

Will do, I'm on the city right after the 6th gym and I've been told I'm close to fighting Xerneas. It's not like I'll use it against other people, but now that 3 of its IVs are going to be 31, I'll try to catch the best Xerneas I can.

Follow up question, I understand you can change natures now? Or was it abilities? Can you do that with legendaries?
 
Just wandering around a town and bumped into someone that will be of use later on. I wish this game had a "Point of interest" marker that you could drop on the map, like GTA V has. It is so handy to just remind you that something is there and to go back to it.
