I don't think that there's a worse designed Pokemon than kricketune.
So ugly.

Yeah, the cry is kinda fun.
Also can someone explain to me how the mirage islands work? I have the mirage mountain now but is there only meant to have one patch of grass to capture Pokémon?

Pretty much, yeah. They are small islands, change daily, can get more through StreetPass/Online. Each has between 2 and 4 Pokémon, a standard item and a hidden item if the island is the one indigenous to your game.
Most of the Pokémon on the islands can only be found on the islands

Hmm, alright, guess I pretty much got it then.
Got cofagrigus from it though which I'm super psyched about. Missed that fella.

Is the trade cloning glitch still at thing in ORAS? If not, is it still possible in X&Y or has it been patched?

I don't find them all that good to get excited about. But then again, having completed the dex, finally, in X/Y I don't feel like I need to track anything really. So perhaps due to that it's not as impressive as I might once thought it was. Agreed, I feel like the extra step to get to the XY features is a little too much. I liked being able to tab through them before. Though BuzzNav, despite feeling like an extra worthless step, will be what you'll have to go through for the Eon Ticket should you get it via Streetpassing. Will see how that works exactly when I Streetpass myself one.
I'm not far at all. Spent time leveling all my Pokemon to 10 before even getting to in-game Dad's town. Accidentally got Mew to 11 so he's being a real jerk right now. Right now spending time trying to raise my Pokemon's affection. Was hoping to get Umbreon tonight, but can't wait forever for that bugger. I want those nice perks vs computer with them being at max. I loved it in XY when I found out about it, haha.

Apparently the AreaDex or whatever it's called will give you Pokemon with several perfect IVs one you level it a few times.
Are all legendaries encountered during the story (however many that is) refindable post game? I'm Nuzlocking until I beat the Elite 4 and do not look forward to trying to catch a legendary with such a ridiculously suboptimal team.

Dex nav 3* potential=3 perfect IVs.
Ditto can only be found in Mirage Cave and Mirage Island though. You'll have at least one Mirage spot to check each day.
I think I'm gonna go through the game just with grass Pokemon, since I started with Treecko. I have him, and I just grabbed Breloom. And I know later I'll be able to grab Ludicolo (awesome, plus he'll cover surf etc.) I remember Tropius is later, hopefully he can make a solid HM slave. Should be pretty straightforward, but it's fun to play with a twist (without making things crazy difficult.)
Now if I can just set aside some time to put more than an hour into it at once lol.

Ludicolo and Breloom tho
He's left with Roserade, Vileplume, Bellossom, Cacturne... Yeah good luck.

Roserade's good, just hampered by you are stuck with a Roselia for most of the game due to Roserade not having any level up moves
Vileplume's bulky
Bellossom's adorable
He can also use a Cradily, that'll be a neat addition.

Sigh, it takes too long to reset for Lati@s, FFS. Too many cutscenes and filler.
Swampert is great for this.

Why use Swampert as an HM slave when you could just use him to break Hoenn?

I wonder what the update did? I mean I didn't see anything glitched out.

What is the fastest way to get money in the game atm? Haven't dug around on the topic yet but wondering if anyone knows?

Beat up Gentleman Walter on Route 123 for 20K w/ Amulet Coin, then beat up Lady Cindy on Route 104 (North) for a little over 11K, and then go beat up Rich Boy Winston on the south part of that route for another 11.5K. Then Gentleman Walter should be ready for you to beat him up again to repeat the cycle. You get roughly 43K each cycle with the Amulet Coin.
Alternatively, beat up the E4 over and over.

Winston is my b&*#! since I started the game.
"Damn, I need more Repels. Winston, care to join me for a battle?"
Damn Zinnia's theme is just so good, Pokemon never fails at the soundtrack 
Not sure. I think Cacturne is available in both versions, so probably that... and then I dunno what else is out there. I assume I'll run into something else from one of the older games.
Edit:
Oh,
Hmmm.... actually interesting choices. I like pretty much all of 'em. I'm thinking 'Plume and Cacturne. Never used either, but I think I did have a Cradily in one of the other games. Though the latter is probably the most interesting of the bunch.
Just got Silver Rank
That's how you get a mega stone right?
That was a fantastic little detail indeed. It's funny to remember that wi-fi didn't always exist
Get 1000, yeah

what's the limit for secret bases on 1 version of the game? Can you fill up every secret base "slot"?
Seems not. I have around 30 and old ones are being removed to add new ones whenever I go online now.

Perhaps 25 + the player's. That would mean ~40 days of flag collecting for the mega stone. Not actually too awful, but I say this as a chronic MMO addict.

Sole reason why it's a staple in my cross-gen post-game team. That cry is amazing.

can you use dexnav search while fishing? it's such a pain chasing dem feebas while surfing lol

I feel the same way. I think its because we get access to surf, fly, etc and the world usually opens up by this point that we have more options to train and find new pokemon.

Good luck as it is a 1/32768 chance and that is assuming synchronise works 100% of the time. We can get it to down to 1/4096 by settling for 30 or 31 in a stat.
