Now to find a female Combee...
Is anyone else seeing some serious crash problems? I'm playing Y on a blue XL, and it has crashed on me six or seven times before the first gym. Hard crashes that make me completely reset the system. My wife is playing X on an Animal Crossing XL, and has seen no crashes. We both have retail games, not the eShop version.
Amazing. You just saved me so much time. Would have never figured that out, haha.

Anyone have an answer for this?

It's noticeable for me too but I don't mind because it's the first time we're seeing these Pokemon in 3d (not counting stadium etc). It's really cool to see how they animate and whatnot after seeing them as sprites for so long.

i trade my female combee and got a caterpie. D:
Pretty sure so you won't be gaining EVs for the rest of your Pokemon, so it's a way of controlling EXP/EV flow to your team.
Otherwise, go nuts and leave it on.
My thoughts exactly. Also thats another reason why I started fresh. Besides, i'm already going to have a TON of Pokemon I want to train, and even the old ones learn new moves / have new typings (some anyway) and so on.
I agree. I thought B2/W2 was much better overall.

Benefits would be harder to keep team at same level artificially upping the difficulty and keeping unwanted EVs off your Pokemon.

Ugh, facing such a dilemma right now. Just caught a Skrelp and I don't want to box anyone in my current team. 
Greninja lv.40
Florges lv.40
Tyrunt lv.37
Heliolisk lv. 37
Talonflame lv.39
Doublade lv. 38
6th gen Pokemon are too cool. I can't part with any of them!

I prefer the trainer and wild theme here in X/Y, but man I miss the Gym Leader "victory" theme in BW2 when you're against the last Pokemon. So good.

Female Charmander on first try. Seem to be getting more females then males .
.Oh okay haha, I'm totally new at this so bear with me. Is there a general rule of thumb to how many EV points for each stat? I hear people saying 252 in any given stat is good? So if I went 252 attack and then the rest in HP and defence that would be good?

I got my Azurill's affection up all the way but he won't evolve for some reason :/ Level 21 as well. What am I missing?
It depends on the pokemon because they each have different roles that benefit from EVs in different stats.
Not enjoying this game as much as I thought I would. Why is there only 8 directions when you have an analog stick? Also I notice just a general lack of polish in the battle scenes. The camera transitions aren't that smooth and they seem sudden. And the frame rate goes to below 20 FPS sometimes (to my eyes anyway, I don't know the exact numbers). Plus the lack of 3D is lazy.
I don't know, it doesn't feel very polished to me. They fixed some stuff but there's still a ton of obvious things they could've improved upon. I want to like it more. I'll try it again later.

Anyone purchase the Writ Invitation? Worth it?
Yep I mean for Chespin specifically.
Just caught a female Combee
I almost did. I ran out of pokeballs.
Yeah, I was shocked by this. Granted, the quality's ass but it is available for use during a match with a registered buddy.
Hell, I didn't even know the 3DS had a mic.

That does sound good, I don't really use defensive Pokemon though, you might want a second opinion.
Flying Electric? Lol. Zapdos. Emolga I suppose.
Flying/Water has at least the duck/swan evolution. You can pick one up near the fossil town.

Someone just sent me a Panpour over Wonder Trade. Yeah, fuck you too.
i also have a question that im curious about since i havnt gotten up to it yet. but when your able to get the gen 1 starter..does it come with its item for mega evo? Like i want charizard X but i also have the free torchic so i was thinking of getting bulba or squirtle, but you can get those starters from breeding too
so my main question is that the other ones that you dont initially choose and later on get them from breeding can you also eventually mega evolve those? or only the one that you get from the guy?

So what's the point of the food minigame thing?
I get the training one is increasing EVs or IVs or someshit in a way that isn't grindy as fuck (a lot of nice things were changed to make it less grindy, like getting xp on capturing THANK FUCKING FINALLY) but it just seems rather weird.

Heh I keep saying no since there is something going on no matter where I am, so it would most likely be background noise. Its odd that it completely cuts off the battle if you say no to game chat. I still want to fight damn it.

Just ran into a pack of Mime Jr. in Reflection Cave and one of them was a shiny. I've never ran into a shiny in all my years of playing Pokemon. Had to take them out one by one until I could catch the shiny that was left.
You get the mega evo item as soon as you get the starter. The other Kanto starters' mega evo items can be bought later.

8 hours in and not even to the second gym. I'm really enjoying this game far more than I expected. I was disappointed by the lack of new Pokemon at first, but they give you such a huge variety from all regions so early on that you don't really feel like you're missing anything. Also EXP All is a huge game changer, it really lets you switch up your team and build it the way you want. My problem is that I have too many great Pokemon I want to train but not enough room.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Oh man, the Pokemon's expressions in Amie when you touch them wrong is just heart-breaking...
Just petting my Fletchling, and I rub its little legs...and it gives me like the saddest expression. It was sort of upsetting how freaked out it got over that, seems each Pokemon has a "bad spot". Chespin's seems to be the top left of its hat.
By the way, how do you mimic faces in Amie? Like when it asks you to do a face, I've yet to see that.
EDIT: Also, guys, here's a fun little thing to do to spice up the game...limit yourself to using the same amount of Pokemon as the Gym Leader, and only using those Pokemon throughout the Gym. Really spices things up and lets you focus on type advantages and such.

Gaf, this is my first venture back into pokemon and I've never heard of EV training, and I'm already an hour in after getting my kanto starter.
Do I gotta start over?
