Pokemon X and Y SPOILER Discussion Thread

Looks like the star snowsuit from Maggie Simpson, lmao.

Game Freak destroyed Heracross, incredible.
 
I would assume Friend Safari would allow someone to catch any non-Legendary in the Kalos Pokedex.
With the possible exception of this gen's newest fossils.
 
thats kinda... bummer actually. starters are special because well, they ain't no wild shit.


just disgusting test tube created monstrosities by mad scientists ;)
 
8 Hours in and I gotta say: PSS system is amazing. It improves the pacing so much and it's so fast and easy to use. Dat second screen. I didn't play these games online before, but now on I will.

I have that exp share thingy OFF. I just read that it makes the game even easier and Pokemon games are (almost) too easy already.

It's the standard Pokemon fare so far, still very addictive. Hopefully the game surprises me as the story progresses. The same way Black and B2 did: they had some great pacing and boss fights at the end.
 
Finally, Pinsir takes his rightful throne as the better beetle.

Edit: OK that pic above me is pretty cool actually. But still Mega Pinsir is awesome.
 
What is Friend Safari O.o

The way I understand it, when you go in you choose a person on your friend list, and that person is randomly assigned a type, and you can find like any pokemon of that type in the safari area. So like if you choose a dude and he get's assigned water, you can find wartortles and other water starters, in addition to pretty much any other water mon.

I may be off on the exact mechanics of the friend/type relationship.
 
any1 who has the game is able to get the torchric? serebii says its live & i just saw a video on youtube of someone getting it but it wont work for me. it says there are no gifts to be found

Wait. Does this mean I can find Growlithes/other non-Regional-dex mons on the Friend Safari?!
 
Those who hate on mega heracross have terrible taste. Hercules beetle, son!
I get what they were going for with Mega Heracross, but just because it has the features of a Hercules Beetle does not mean the design is good. It was a great idea with terrible execution and looks terrible imo. Original Heracross is so much better looking it isn't funny.

Top 5 Mega Evolutions
  1. Charizard Y
  2. Charizard X
  3. Tyranitar
  4. Blaziken
  5. Banette
 
I hate that mega evolutions are temporary! Damn it :( it makes me dislike the game to a degree as it is heavily influential now. Just give me permanent evolutions, fucking shit

The reason they are doing it this way is because they can limit you to one Mega Evolution per a battle, allowing them to make Mega Evolutions really good without killing the game.

Regular evolutions can't be limited like that so they couldn't make them so good.
 
So either my 3DS is dying, or there are some serious framedrops when the camera is panning around in 3D in some instances.
 
missed opportunity for mega forms to have a special unique '5th move' thats only accessible in mega form.

while they look interesting, kinda wish most aren't just a plain old stat buff. The few that changes types is neat though.
 
We have no confirmation of non-Kalos Pokemon showing up in Friend Safari yet.

Regarding that, according to this thread onf GameFAQS (http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/696959-pokemon-x/67461555?page=2), this one guy found in the Friend Safari:

Forretress - Sturdy
Magneton - Sturdy
Electabuzz - Static
Electrode - Soundproof
Stunfisk - Limber
Emolga - Static
Cacturne - Sand Veil
Pawniard - Defiant
Dedenne - Cheek Pouch
Spritzee - Healer
Loudred - Soundproof
Lillipup - Vital Spirit
Camerupt - Solid Rock
Phanpy - Pickup
Growlithe - Flash Fire
Charmeleon - Blaze
Larvesta - Flame Body
Ponyta - Flash Fire
Slugma - Flame Body
Espurr - Keen Eye
Abra - Sychronize
Sneasel - Inner Focus - Holding Grip Claw
Snorunt - Ice Body

Granted, I haven't checked the Kalos Dexes yet.
 
Also, Mega Manetric's design doesn't look bad if you realize what it is trying to go for (a raijuu).

Oh shit, that part I didn't know. One mega per battle is logical, and that makes me hopeful. Thank you.
