What does FRE on a traded pokemon mean? And how can I rename a traded pokemon?

 

[Butane123]

I think I won the Poke lottery tonight. Decided to go with Fennekin, but didn't save at all before I got it.... got a Modest nature on the first try.

Just downloaded my Torchic, and got one with a Jolly nature.

 

[Antiwhippy]

no. EV's are still distributed to all pokemon that gain experience from defeating an enemy. If you're really intent on not wasting points it's best to do super training for a new party member immediately.

Spoiler

I only have one pokemon left to do thank Goomy.

You can always reset it with the reset bag.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Hiker Andy found love...lol

Well, we never did find out what happened to Hilbert and Hilda...

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Oh man. I just caught an Eevee. So many options of how to evolve him.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

L+R+Select

L+R+Start

Thanks

 

[Yamauchi]

Oh ma gawd...

Indeed he did

 

[Roto13]

Means it's French, and you can't.

EDIT: Oh, man, I'm so happy for Andy! <3

 

[DedValve]

I have a female goomy, anyone knows which pokemon I can mate her with?

 

[MasterShotgun]

+ Redone Pokemon cries. They sound really good.

+ OMG character customization is cool

- OMG I'm constantly broke

- 3D framerate. What a shame.


I've already played for 6 hours and I'm only just past the big city. So far, I love it. It should get even better once I get past the early game fodder.


EDIT: The number of options avaialable for the PR videos is nuts. I am going to waste so much time there in the post-game.

 

[FSLink]

Means it's French, and you can't.

Keep in mind if it's a foreign Pokemon if it's the foreign normal name and it evolves, it'll change to your current region's name.

So like I had a Japanese Eevee with its Japanese name and evolving it to Sylveon, it now reads "Sylveon" in my English language game.

Probably in Dragon egg group...so Axew maybe?

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

Anyone have a spare Plusle they want to trade? I seriously can't find this thing. Will trade a Minun?

 

[Chris R]

Well time to release it into the wild then, good thing I only wasted a pidgey.

 

[fleck0]

So I'm in Lumiose City, wondering why people would block pedestrian traffic because of a blackout. Then I realize that this game doesn't have a day/night cycle.

I was going to ask about that, good riddance! Less time spent resetting the internal clock

 

[FSLink]

Uh the games do have Day/Night.

 

[Teknoman]

Sentret is now a bodybuilder.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Is there any good way to farm money pre-E4?

Black and White had the cool little Sport Stadiums...

Uh the games do have Day/Night.

Aesthetically, but I don't think there are any events reflecting that nor Pokemon you can only catch at a certain period anymore...

 

[Divvy]

Geez

How do you beat the Magneton super training? I have zero problems with any other one but this one I can't even get to the score requirement much less the time one.

 

[pelicansurf]

Can you take off your hat? I feel like someone said you could.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Guess I'll be turning 3D completely off - bad framerate is a no-no for me.

 

[DedValve]

Shoot! Any idea where I can get those?

Battle Chateau's probably your best bet.

 

[Delio]

It took me quite a while to get down the whole dodging of it's homing shots. ALSO make sure to do charged shots at it. Makes taking it down easier.

 

[jman2050]

Hmm just a question out of curiosity, does Pokerus double super training boosts?

 

[Sora_N]

You can do both.

no. EV's are still distributed to all pokemon that gain experience from defeating an enemy. If you're really intent on not wasting points it's best to do super training for a new party member immediately.

Damn, guess my Braixen is doomed then lol. Thanks for confirming guys!

 

[pariah164]

Just got to Lumiose City.

The theme is glorious, glad I could finally hear the clean version.

TOBY.

Back on topic, I agree. The music in this game is impressive as fuck.

 

[Busaiku]

Why are all the tourists Japanese.

 

[Ultimadrago]

For breeders, would you say it's easier to simply breed for a nature rather than soft resetting for a wild Pokemon's nature? I'm trying to get an Adamant Honedge, but it's already rare in this area and I don't know how long I'll be here...

 

[FSLink]

Connecting Cave...after Route 7 I believe.

Yes, especially if you can get one of the parents to be adamant (or an Adamant Ditto). Then let it hold an Everstone and the Honedge baby will 100% be Adamant.

 

[Moonlight]

It took me far longer (and used way more soft resets) than I really wish it would have, but managed to get myself a girl Fennekin.

 

[Alcotholic]

This is the shot in the arm Pokemon needed. It is such a refreshing experience compared to previous games. The 3d world really makes the game feel more alive and new.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Wonder trade is bad.... BAD!!!

 

[Ultimadrago]

Damn, guess my Braixen is doomed then lol. Thanks for confirming guys!

It's not doomed. Simply keep punching the default punching bag for a Reset bag! Afterwards focus on maxing the desired stats right away.

 

[illmatic19]

Wonder trade is bad.... BAD!!!

But I got a Snorlax! And a Japanese Caterpie!

 

[Coldnoodle]

Nincada get!

 

[Ashodin]

Nincada get!

To go with Froakie!?

 

[A Serious Man]

Best EV build for Fennekin?

 

[Sanic]

Are there no longer events that only take place on certain days of the week? I've not seen mention of the game keeping track of the week at all so far.

 

[ivysaur12]

Headed to a birthday party... and not at all happy about it. I want to play Pokemon.

 

[TheBlueBomber]

just thought i'd ask again in case people missed it, does anybody know how to get spritzee to evolve? i can't find anything on it

 

[GamerSoul]

Wonder trade is bad.... BAD!!!

how so? I haven't used it yet so what's wrong with it?

 

[Bullza2o]

Just making sure, so there's no way to communicate with other people other than voice chat?

 

[Divvy]

It took me quite a while to get down the whole dodging of it's homing shots. ALSO make sure to do charged shots at it. Makes taking it down easier.

Yeah i switched to a pokemon with rapid fire and it was much easier

 

[Einbroch]

So much has changed since the Gameboy days. You can use TMs over and over? What the heck.

 

[ramyeon]

Thank you based GTS! Got a Fennekin for my Virillion! Guess people are wanting to collect these regional patterns so they're great trade fodder.

 

[Phloxy]

So quick questions, if I never played any previous games in the series will I enjoy this? And secondly, is the consensus that the game is really well made and fun?

 

[-Horizon-]

Beat the first gym. Fennekin evolved into Braixen. Flame Charge is an amazingly animated attack. Caught Riolu after however many pokeballs. Skates taking some time to get used to. Keeping experience share turned on.

They're all beginner friendly, people looking for a challenge get into the competitive online battles, normal players can enjoy the regular single player game no matter the level of experience with Pokemon.

And after my 2 hours playing Pokemon X, yes this is a very good and well made game. As were the previous generations of Pokemon games.

 

[flyinpiranha]

How do you get "Game Chat" to work. My girl and I are friends and all options unlocked in Parental Controls but it is still dimmed and unclickable?

EDIT: found it,

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Is there a benefit to having exp share off? I figured it was dividing the exp but then when I turned it off, my Kakuna ended up getting the same exp regardless.....

Not quite sure how it works. Cause now I feel like I should just always have it on.

 

[Jaykay]

So I ended up picking up Y today, and it's the first Pokemon game I've gotten this close to release since Gold I think. I'm only a few hours in, but I'm having a blast with it. As expected, if appears they've done a good job.
