Exactly. And the leveling up is a tedious chore in this game, and it really does feel the same with all of them. May as well do less of it. Being able to switch out and use different Pokémon frequently and without having to catch them all up is awesome.

Just got my game and started it up. Comments:
- God damn this game has a nice visual style.
- Kalos mom is best mom.
- The hometown is rich as fuccck
- I like the big group of friends.
- I have a feeling when I get the hang of it, the internet features are going to be addictive for me.
- #TeamDarkskin / #TeamMaleTrainer
- Maaaaan, making it so that you gain EXP points for catching things is one of the best changes in this series. Now I don't have to worry about picking grinding over catching and vice versa in the early game anymore.
- I really really like the French inspired design a lot.
Edit: Hold up, is EXP All available early in the game?

Do we get more boxes in the PC's later on?
3 more guys I got sprited, feel free to use em.
Ralts is mine!
Fourth got me Caterpie, which I didn't have, so yay.How do you start a new game? I just learned you get a free Torchic alongside the new starter and gen 1 starter, and want to get the new grass guy alongside Squirtle and Torchic, but on the main menu there is only continue, mystery gift, live competition? Do I need to delete the save data from the 3DS OS itself? I've never done so, where is such a thing found in the OS?
I'd say the Auto-Repel function introduced in Black and White 2 matches that in terms of best improvement. It's going to be difficult going back and playing the older games without this nice little key item.

I went to the midnight launch in Downtown San Francisco last night and snapped a few pics. I was almost embarassed to be a Pokemon fan. There was a mix of people but holy shit the people at the front scared me the most. They were singing the Pokemon TV show intro in harmony together for a bit. There were roughly 300-400 people in line give or take. Surprise surprise no children spotted. They were also selling 2DS which I must say looked pretty cool. I was tempted to buy one.
If anyone cares, I got Y. Fuck X
Sorry for the quality.
Oh god, that's a crazy line. Man, I feel better that I decided to not bother going downtown and instead just head to the Gamestop close by in the morning.
Is exp share a option you get? because I don't see it yet at about 3 hours in.

I was just thinking this last night. I love it.
Hold up on the dpad + x and b while on the title screen.
Should be given to you by an NPC on your way out of the first town, I believe.
I'm liking the EXP share thus far. Keeps it from just being my starter and whichever secondary pokemon I choose rapidly overtaking everyone (also, the main game was always crazy easy. They should've upped the difficulty to coincide with the new exp share, but whatever).
Also... the stretch between the first and 2nd gyms feels like it's taking FOREVER. Haha. Told myself I'd take a break when I finished the 2nd gym, but it's just taking too long to get there. And I'm still holding out some sliver of hope that the awesome medal system and habitat list (or whatever it was called, the area checklist feature) from B2/W2 made it in and I just haven't found them yet. It'd be a shame to see them go the same way as stuff like following pokemon.

Can you keep reseting after getting the Torchic so it has the nature you want?
Also would anyone like to help me make my Kadabra into an Alakazam?

Took me forever too and right when I was about to say fuck it...I got one.
That torchic has speed boost . jolly or adamant personally.

Terrible idea. If you want to do that, at least lower his special attack. He is more a physical sweeper. Don't take away from its attack. As for myself, I got adamant. I never cared about designating a pokemon as a baton passer. I prefer just a versatile and strong pokemon.

Is it possible to get a female Torchic? If not I'll probably just stick to the once I have.
Amazing. I approve.I don't even have the game yet but I saw this on Facebook and smiled
You're god damned right.
Don't own the game either, buti had to ask, how's the music? Is it on par with Sapphire/Ruby/Emerald and Black/White?
Should be possible. It just takes time. Starters always have pretty stupidly low rates of being female.
Standard builds for Blzaiken tend to be either Jolly or Adamant. You don't want to go -Atk because it's high physical is one of Blaze's main benefits.
you trying to get Adamant? im pretty sure thats one of the best natures for charmander
The battle themes are lackluster, and the two that everyone keeps hyping up (Vs. Gym Leader and Vs. Team Flare) are also a mess. Everything else is decent to good, especially the trainer encounter themes.
Took me like 6. Seems like some had to go through a lot more. It's all a luck of the draw.
No. The gift Torchic is always male. It does seem males might be able to pass secret abilities via breeding now (not fully confirmed, but maybe true).
It's all amazing. The improved quality and instrumentation causes it all to grate less on the nerves than any previous gen IMO.

I think I just lost a Pokemon when my Wonder Trade partner disconnected.

I played like 5 minutes, but the whole presentation of the game is fucking amazing.
The cutscenes, camera angles when you enter Route 1, Nintendo went all out on this.

Ah that bites. But I figured that might be case, too.
