That feel when you answer wrong to fight more trainers.

Frogadier!!!

 

[Otakumegane]

EV training Tyrunt. So after 21 Haxorus balloons and 1 HP M training bag, do I put the rest of the EVs in Speed or Defense?

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Someone please help with some sort of advanced Pokemon training guide. Natured Pokemon? What? There's got to be some sort of guide for those people who have played Pokemon games before but haven't cared about stuff like this. Anyone?

Start with Bulbapedia and search anything you want to know. Natures are Pokemon stat advantages/handicaps that factor into their development. Competitive training shit. It's not hard to get as it's so enjoyable

But like, are there some natures that are better than others? Does it really matter that much?

Say you get a Pokemon with a naturally high speed base stat, then it has a nature with a speed stat advantage...yea it could make a huge difference if competing

 

[Niraj]

Oh nice, my Bulbasaur was timid and female. Nice luck there.

 

[Kid Ska]

But like, are there some natures that are better than others? Does it really matter that much?

Depends. If you have a Pokemon that uses mostly physical attacks you may want a nature that buffs its physical attack stat. In the long run, a casual playthrough of the story mode won't really require you to pay attention to natures.

 

[eliochip]

Is Blaziken good? I don't play multiplayer in this I just go through the story but I still want a good team.

Blaziken or Scizor?

 

[Kenai]

A cave called

Spoiler

Zubat Roost

? How friendly of them to warn me.

 

[789shadow]

Been looking for Audinos on Route 6 for an hour now. Fuck you Venipede, I don't want you.

 

[Trey]

I'm still trying to catch a fucking Timid Pikachu. I've seen every other nature at least two times.

Good thing I can pawn off my growing mouse army in Wonder Trades. I actually got a decent haul from doing that.

GF knocked the ball out of the park with this one.

 

[Finn of Ooo]

Anyone know where I can find an axew?

 

[Ellasman]

Just got my X. I'm going with Froakie and Sqirtle. Anyone else doing both water starters?

 

[Charlie0108]

I can't find a goddamn Skrelp. Serebii said they are on Route 8, but they just don't appear in my game.

What rod are you using?

 

[Busaiku]

How do I get Stylish.

 

[Laieon]

Just got my X. I'm going with Froakie and Sqirtle. Anyone else doing both water starters?

I was planning on it, but ended up going Charmander instead because I wasn't sure how long it would be until I could catch a fire pokemon. I have to say, this game does a terrific job at giving you a lot of variety right off the bat. It's almost overwhelming.

 

[The Xtortionist]

Just beat the second gym and I'm a little lost. Where to next?

 

[lem0n]

Is there a way to remove the rollerskates?

 

[Darko]

I have to say, for a guy who's only played first gen, this game is pretty overwelming

What is the advantage in breeding pokemon?

Dont feel bad my last pokemon game was fire red, and before that yellow

 

[Trey]

Anyone know where I can find an axew?

I'll trade you a Japanese one.

 

[Kid Ska]

Is there a way to remove the rollerskates?

No, but you can walk by using the D-pad.

 

[Deified Data]

Just got my X. I'm going with Froakie and Sqirtle. Anyone else doing both water starters?

I'm going with both grass starters.

 

[ryan13ts]

Is finding a male Litleo impossible in this game? I've seriously encountered over 50 Litleo and every single one is female. Ususally I don't care about Male/Female status, but I hate the way female Pyroar looks so I'm determinted to get a male one. It's almost like GF knew everyone would want a male and trolled the hell out of us.

 

[Busaiku]

No, but you can walk by using the D-pad.

Seriously, it's so freaking annoying, especially in Luminose...

 

[Finn of Ooo]

I'll trade you a Japanese one.

Sure anything in particular you want for it? Still pretty early in the game. Just got to the town with the fossil place.

 

[lem0n]

No, but you can walk by using the D-pad.

Hmm. Ok, thanks for the reply. My gf isn't going to be happy about this. Lol

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

What EVs should I put into Amaura
Got Modest with Alert to Sounds.

What is the advantage in breeding pokemon?

Breeding is more post-game than anything. It is to breed certain moves onto pokemon that can't otherwise learn them. Don't worry about it and just treat it like the daycare from Red/Blue (levelling up pokemon while you're out doing other stuff).

I feel pretty overwhelmed with all of the pokemon in each area and I've been playing every gen. Just grab stuff you want to use or are interested in and don't feel pressured to catch and do everything. Just take your time - much of the stuff they throw at you isn't necessary until you're ready to get competitive.

 

[Trey]

Nothing in particular, you can give me whatever.

 

[zethren]

I bought Pokemon X, but haven't been able to start it yet.

One of my worries has been that there aren't enough new Pokemon because of the time spent working on the Mega Evolutions. I'm sure I'll enjoy it regardless, and I've remained pretty dark on the released details over the months. Is this a silly worry?

 

[Teknoman]

Lumiose is the first city where you can. I don't know of any others.

Is it after the whole blackout thing? I cant find a barber shop/salon/whatever.

 

[Deified Data]

Max out Special Attack and Speed. Put the rest into HP.

That's a very rough estimate, I don't know how fast Amaura is so I can't say for certain where you'd be best served putting them.

 

[Roto13]

I have two level 1 male Fennekins I want to trade for a low-level Chespin and Froakie. I don't care about the natures or sexes (though female would certainly be nice) but no nicknames please.

The Fennekins' natures are Naive and Brave.

 

[JackHerer]

I just caught an Eevee. Does anyone know how it evolves into Sylveon?

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

I told those losers to just call me "Boss". Know their place.

I made them call me God.

 

[Lumination]

Female Ralts with +atk nature. =/

 

[Roto13]

It's not silly, but they're throwing a plethora of pokemon from all gens at you from the very start, so I haven't been bothered by the lack of new pokemons at all.

So many pokemons, I don't think there's ever been that many to choose from that early in the game.

Black/White 2 had a really good mix of Pokemon early on, too.

Not really. GF decided to focus more on Megas and new features this gen rather than the new roster.

 

[Kid Ska]

No. It's around there somewhere. I think it's on the street with the Furfrou salon.

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Yep - put like 700 hours into Red/Blue/Yellow, and about 200 hours into G/S. But then I kinda "outgrew" the craze and didn't play any of the others. I picked up Black a couple years ago and put like 12 hours into it; but wasn't really feeling it with the 3DS right around the corner.

This is the first Pokemon game I'm playing seriously in about a decade; and boy do these conversations scare me. Shinies. EV leveling. Breeding. Genders. Etc etc. I'm afraid my team is going to be weak as hell because I don't know any of the meta game at all.

Right now just beat the first gym and met Sycamore - calling it quits for today with a level 16,13, and two 10s. Lots of fun, for sure.

Thanks.
Amaura has 29 speed at Lv20.
63 HP at Lv20

Nope.

Just got Pokemon X, goodbye free time.

This is pretty good advice, thank you!

Hi GAF, I got pokemon x and my friend has y. Can I play him online or anything?

I think it is silly worrying about the amount of new Pokémon when we already have 649 of them (as of Gen V).

 

[nintendoman58]

When exactly do you get Rock Smash? I want to find a Binacle.

 

[jokkir]

Choosing a nickname is difficult business

Decent point lol...

Thanks guys ha.

 

[Teknoman]

Found it, little ways down from the Furfrou salon. Seems like there are only 3 hair styles for male trainers so far though. very short, medium, and long?

 

[Chance Hale]

How do you hit the big yarn in the Header mini-game?
