I tried jumping back on my copy of Pokemon X after giving up and writing this entire generation off and every time I have to go back to Lumiose City I want to chuck my 3DS out the window. I hate this city so much.

I kinda want to just give up and get one of the ORAS games. Even tho it's my least favorite region by far, almost all of my favorite pokes come from that gen and I kinda wanna get the gang back together. Do they give any of the cities in that game the Lumiose treatment with all the awful faux-3D movement, or does it stay geographically pretty true to the originals?

Yeah Lumiose City is so bad and Game Freak knew this but chose not to fix it and offer a measly suggestion of going inside to recentre the camera.

Hopefully it's fixed for Pokémon Z.

If I remember correctly I'm pretty sure they cut down on the surfing too.
Click to expand...

Nope, all they did was make it that surfing with Sharpedo is faster and carried over auto renewal repel from Black and White 2. The other thing they did was cut each water route into their own section.

The water route in the Hoenn remake is still just as annoying.

Sigh...I still want a Wii U battler. I know we have fancy graphics already but it would be so amazing to battle in HD on the TV

WHY IS HO-OH SUCH A PAIN TO CATCH?

I finally caught the damn thing, but it took about a total 200 balls to catch the pain in the ass in over about 5 battles with it. I was thinking about going for Mewtwo, but after this, I don't think that's wise.

I don't know how they goofed up Lumiose City so bad. Castelia City was by no means perfect but it felt way nicer than Lumiose.

focus more on how nice it'll look instead of actually making it traversal

I mean it's not that bad after you get used to it but it's really overwhelming when first get there and having a bunch of roads blocked off didn't help

I actually wouldn't mind if they did another Orre game, I enjoyed the first two and felt there was still more to do with the Shadow Pokémon concept.

You can totally troll Mewtwo with a Dark type Pokémon and Shedninja, its' only attack is Psycho Cut, meaning the most powerful Pokémon is now a joke.

In my playthrough I like to talk to every NPC, Lumiose City made that a chore as I had to look for every NPC.

The roller skates didn't help either, oh god did I hate the skates so stupid how I couldn't take them off.

Now trying to catch Entei is fucking annoying. This shit changes location every time I use Fly. How in the fuck am I supposed to catch this thing?
Click to expand...


1. Buy tons of repels
2. Go to Ecruteak City
3. Go down to Route 37
4. check if Entei is in Route 37,
4a. if Entei is not there repeat 2-3,
4b. If Entei is there use a repel and look for him, tip have a Pokémon that is about level 30-39 in the lead any higher will make him not appear.
5. Wild Entei appears
5a. Use the Masterball if you still have it.
5b. Send him to sleep and trap him and whittle down his health.
5c If Entei roars or run aways just repeat step 2, tip Entei will still retain damage from the last battle.
5d. If Entei is fainted reset the game and start from step 1 or defeat the Elite 4 and restart from step 1.
6. When Entei is caught, save the game weep and then repeat step 1 for Raikou.


Good luck roaming Legendary are a pain in the butt.

You go to a city with multiple exits and go in and out until it's in a position where you'll be able to run into it/cut it off. Have something that'll let you prevent it from escaping or you're gonna have an extra bad time, though.

Thanks for letting me know that. This whole time I'm running around with pokemon in the 80's/90's. That level requirement is stupid, when it's already hard enough to find. During the main game as soon as I saw Raikou I used a Master Ball.

Edit: I finally found him, but he got around my Tangela's Bind by using Roar.

The level requirement is part of using a repel. Repel makes pokemon of a lower level than your lead not appear.

Yep, using repels just makes it easier and quicker for roamers to appear since they will be the highest level Pokémon in the area.

ORAS Golbats are no joke, they murdered my Farfetch'd and Machoke in my latest Nuzlocke. Freaking Acrobatics.

It didn't help that I lost half my team to Tate and Liza.

Oh right today is shiny Xerneas day whenever the anime is on.

I work during the day so I wouldn't know when it's on.

I think it airs at 7pm JST, but not 100% sure. Wish I knew a stream so I could watch it live. Though I also wish I had a Japanese 3DS and game so I could get the shinies haha.

So yeah, some small Zygarde stuff was spoiled accidentally (intentionally?) by the anime director in Oha Suta.

There are only two Zygarde Cores. And each one controls 50%.

You're confusing them with the Cells I guess. There are plenty of Zygarde Cells but so far we've only seen Squishy for Zygarde Core.

the whole line was

Director: So in order to become the Perfect Forme...
Director: Zygarde Core A and B have to...
Director :..please forget I said that
Yamamoto: Forget!?
Yamamoto: There's an A and a B?
Yamamoto: So the one Eureka has is...
Director: ...I can't tell you yet.
Director: Can you guys just cut this part?

Mind you it could mean there are still more cores.

Can anybody tell me if there's a utility on a website somewhere that you can punch a combination of movies into and it will tell you which pokemon are capable of learning all of them?

I do have one on my site, but am not allowed to link to it. It's in the Game Mechanics section.

So,
Alan's a traitor?

Surprised we didn't see any evolution spoilers, not even Noivern. Although the OP seems like it might change in the near future after the main arc with Greninja and Wulfric is done with.

Ending's really cute! But I bet we'll get a new one pretty soon too---wasn't there some talk about a Team Rocket-centric one?

Greninja's new form is cool and all, but the thing that bugs me about the whole "love" thing between him and Ash is that we all know that once Kalos is all done Greninja is going to be left behind at Dr Oak's ranch whilst Ash travels to a new region and forms bonds with new Gen VII Pokemon, forgetting about poor Greninja in the process. The bond is being built up to be something legendary, something not seen in hundreds of years, but then Greninja is just going to be dropped by Ash at the end of this gen.

I have no problems with the concept of a new form being inspired by love between Trainer and Pokemon, but it should always be reserved to a trainers main Pokemon in order to avoid a disconnect, which in Ash's case is Pikachu.

I'm actually really surprised the writers didn't take the opportunity to get round the issue of Pikachu not being able to Mega evolve by giving him a new form lol, unless of course this whole Ash Greninja thing is just a special type of mega evolution reserved to the Kalos starters or something.

I'm finally nearly done with the Kanto Arc of the original series after taking a little break. I think I may just jump to XY after though since that opening got me pretty hyped. Is the only way I can watch that by buying it off iTunes?

Also I'm still (not so) patiently awaiting the reveal of Z. Still hanging on to hope of a February release (it will probably be later though).

Bleh, wiped my Alpha Sapphire nuzlocke on Drake. I have enough reserve mons to train a new team, but I think I will just try a different game.

I am thinking Platinum or White, any opinions? I haven't played either since they came out.
