XY for single player, ORAS for multiplayer and easier access to Arcanine, the best fire type

Oh I already have X and Y. And really like it. I did pick pick Froakie but he's now in the PC
Right now it's just a team of my favorites (none from the new gens unfortunately, I just can't fall in love with new Pokemon in comparison to the old.)

Same here, not a big fan of how ORAS handled things, and was never a fan of Hoenn games.
though to be honest the only time I've seen people drawn him with a brown body is from /vp/'s usual

Although I must say Blastoise (all time fav) and Salamence (top 5) are way too fat in X&YOh I already have X and Y. And really like it. I did pick pick Froakie but he's now in the PC

Not THIS fat. Blastoise is also not a dark enough shade of blue.they're always fat
Perfection:
Yeah, the colors are so washed out in XY/ORAS. I hope Sun and Moon improves a bit in this aspectNot THIS fat. Blastoise is also not a dark enough shade of blue.

Put me down as preferring ORAS. And this was as someone who doesn't have nostalgia for Hoenn.
XY are great too.

Maybe, but this Blastoise has totally been hitting the treadmill compared to his XY brethren. Much less of a gut.
Salamence you're probably right. But the top down view in XY really shows off how much his got spills out to the sides.
Thanks for the replies! I wonder how long it'll take me to get through all of these games.

I dunno he still has that stomach
mind you it's not bad, turtles are meant to be fat!

I think the problem is more that Blastoise's head in XY is a bit too small.

Currently playing Pokemon X.
The levels are weird. I'm not using Exp. Share since that would make the game too easy. But I'm frequently underleveled, even with Wild Pokemon. Not a big issue, but couldn't there be a balance?
I'm going to get Pokemon White 2 since that one I never finished. I was reading that PWT with past Gym Leaders is Japan only, is that correct ?

Yeah it's kinda weird, if you use the Exp Share like the game expects you to, you'll become massively overleveled, but if you turn it off you'll have to grind to keep pace. Literally no matter what you choose, the pacing in X/Y is terrible.
I enjoyed XY because I was finally able to play the way I always wanted to as a kid. Using different teams, catching lots of new Pokemon and training them, etc. Etc.
I actually really enjoyed the first two gyms slow pace, and wish the whole game was like that with lots to explore and other quests and stories going on with gyms being a special rarity and the e4 being the ultimate culmination. Someday, when graphical advancement plateaus, and content becomes king.
Are the 3DS game cart capacities bigger now than they were when XY came out?

I don't normally agree with you, but yeah pretty much this. The beginning of XY is fantastic imo, outside of Viola not getting any real characterization. The Rivals/Friends are introduced and actually seem like they'll be a major part of your journey, you have a really cool side adventure with Shauna. Then after Gym 2 everyone of them except your main 'Rival' (and I use that term losely because I did nothing but wipe the floor with them in most battles) fades into the background, with Tierno and Trevor never really getting their due. Really upsetting. I have to wonder if the team had some kind of creative shift while making the game or something,

XY didn't even get close to maxing out the largest 3DS cart size that has been produced as of now. XY was 1.7 gigs and the largest size 3DS cart that has been released is 4 gigs and supposedly they could do 8 gigs as well, but no dev has.
Also yeah, XY really feels like it starts to rush itself after the second Gym. I don't think the space between each Gym should have been as much as 1 to 2, I do think they should have had more stuff going on between most of them.
I don't know if it was because I hadn't played a Pokemon game since Pearl, but I loved X/Y to bits, from the pacing to the style to the battles, everything about it came together to make me put well over 120+ hours into the game and ~80 of those were spent just beating the gyms+E4. I swear time must have warped in some way while I played it, because every time I did it felt like I couldn't get enough exploration and even then, 50 hours later I was still reaching new towns/areas full of new stuff. It was such a satisfying experience. I'll agree the friends thing was underutilized, but other than that the game was damn near flawless for me. Really can't wait for Moon/Sun.
I really should get Pokemon OR/AS. The SM announcement has me really wanting to play a new one.

ORAS was an awful remake. Really soured me on the mainline series as a whole until Super Mystery Dungeon released.
So bad by comparison
Blastoise fans just continue losing. On the other hand, all three Charizards look amazing in XY.
Being on the losing team for over 20 years must really suck hard.

with hidden abilities
Have they said what abilities they are?
Edit: Nevermind, found it. Sturdy for Regirock, Ice Body for Regice, and Light Metal for Registeel. Probably would prefer clear body for all three.
Edit 2: would have been funny if they really had slow start as their hidden ability.

Yeah I really enjoyed the early part of X and Y, till up to the third gym where I felt that the game just fell apart due to bad pacing.
As far I am aware no Pokémon game have ever filled up the cart space, except for the original gen 2 games.
Agreed, the pacing of the region and the story was really bad. as one moment you were in a grassy city, then you go to a desert route, then back to a city then to a swampy route which made it really jarring.
Hopefully the new region in Sun and Moon doesn't suffer from this.
I dunno at least Blastoise cry is still good in gen 6, Charizard gen 6 cry is just awful as it's a high pitch snarl instead of a deep roar that Charizard normally has, they really need to fix it.

Ever since Sun and Moon got announced I am like meh towards Zygarde as I felt disappointed that he's getting skipped over, then again gen 6 disappointed me in every step so it ending in a dud doesn't surprise me.

Do they ever intend to give Ash his 6th Pokémon or they straight up going to have him stick with 5 for the whole of Kalos? :|

That's what I wanted to say. I'd hate for Ash to pull a Kanto again. That missing 6th Pokemon sucked. :/
