Thanks I should have mentioned I will eventually get other games of course, it is just this is the one that finally pushed to buy it.

It hasn't so far at 33, but presumably it can through later levels and TMs.

If anyone could get me/trade me a Cyndaquil, I would be eternally grateful. I need it.
Might be awhile because there isn't any aside from Friend Safari or prior gens (No transfer until Dec.). Unless it's hidden somewhere in-game.

11 Hours in, loving it. Here are my notes:
My pokedex is 50/64. Trying to keep my ratio more than increase my numerator. EXP Share was nice for getting Beedrill and Butterfree at the same time, otherwise I don't like it.
I got my Vivillon as the Polar pattern which surprised me since I've seen it marked as "Canada" in a fanmade legend. I'm in Ohio, but my DS was identified as Massachusetts when I started the game. After getting Polar, I switched my state to Ohio, raised another Scatterbug, and got Polar again. Guess I'm locked in
Went on GTS to trade my 2nd Vivillon for another and received a Japanese one that's purple with orange squares and red rectangles. Not bad. The trade was executed within 5 minutes of posting it. These Vivillons are hot commodities it seems.
Wonder trading is... interesting. Surprised that 2/3 of my trades were quite decent.
I traded Yolo the Psyduck (Lvl. 6) for Minun (Lvl. 6)
I traded a Litleo (Lvl. 5) for a Drifloon (Lvl. 16)
I traded a Riolu (Lvl. 7) for a Fletchling (Lvl. 3); I think the guy felt bad because he used the preset message to thank me immediately after
I also for some reason decided to trade with a passerby, which gave me weird feelings. Semi-human interactions... Got a Lvl 8 Furfrou for the Minun I had received previously.
My friend and I agreed to 3v3 singles battles after every gym, but seeing how long I've played and haven't reached the second, I think we'll do battles every ~10 levels instead. We don't do the level equalizer (set at 50/100).
Our first battle was really close... He was overleveled by about 5 across the 3 pkmn, and at level 8-13, that matters! However, I had made a trade for the Farfetch'd and my Aerial Ace sent his Butterfree to the bench and Fury Attack (Hit 5 times!) did Froakie in. Rollout would have taken care of his Pidgey, but level difference and quick attack kept him alive. In the end, it was my Spewpa vs his Butterfree, each with super thin red health bars. I used protect to see what he would use: Tackle. The same as my only damage dealing attack at the time. We pitted tackle vs tackle and the match was decided.

Chose Bulbasaur as GenI
so I have
Staples:
Froakie as Water(dark)
Combusken as fire-Fighting
Bulbasaur as Grass-Poison
Not set on stone;
Pikachu as Electric.
Vivillon as Bug flying.
Fletching as flying.
are there any good double type three stagers that I can catch out there?, what type pout of the starter trio should I be getting to replace those on the second group? I havent played since Gen II so I may be not taking some things in consideration as I do not fully know all the newer types interactions.

Um, so is pikachu the only one who actually says it's name instead of the old school calls from past games?

So, since 3D was the obvious next step for the franchise, what's the next big thing? I always thought it'd be huge if Game Freak made a gen that just encompassed all the gens before it. Start in Kanto, end in Kalos. I feel like that'd sell like crazy.

Would be too hard to fit all those continents on a single card. Multi region games means each of those regions don't get the attention they deserve. I'd much prefer single region per game.
Man, just unlocked O-Powers. What a fun little system. Gifting O-Powers to the random people on my passerby list is super addictive.

Electro ball looks amazing. Damn.
Honestly they still have a lot of room for improvement graphically for future games. Some of the environments and textures are laughably bad and they could really improve animation since certain attacks still have the Pokemon just vibrate in place or spin around in place to indicate an otherwise brutal attack.
Also I want my fucking Pokemon following me again. I don't care if my Snorlax needs to wear rollerskates too, I want him by my side!
And as a side note, I don't understand why Goldeen floats in the air but Magikarp flops around.

Sorry to respond to your question with a question, but where did you find the stone?
And omg, totally forgot about stone evos not learning moves. I have two of them in my party that I evolved at an early level.

how long did you try for? Assumiing you could tell it was shiny in your inventory?

First try. I haven't played a Pokemon since Blue/Red.
I only knew it was Shiny because he wasn't as Blue as the trailers and was more light blue. He also sparkles https://vine.co/v/hHD1Iaaxn0l

Well I present that idea with the insinuation that it'd be given proper treatment and not just be a fan service. I think it could be done, it would however require a longer dev cycle than the typical 2 years we see now.
The mega system is really interesting. Basically means you can have one legendary power pokemon per team. Picking what that pokemon will be adds another cool layer to team building.

Can anyone hook me up with a Honedge, Skrelp, Ditto, Tyrunt, or Aron?
I feel like by the time you go through all the gyms once, the formula is getting old. I'd much rather spend that time team building and doing post-game challenges like whatever the Battle facility in the game is and catching legendaries. I have no interest in giving the whole thing another run until the next games release. I'd much rather have something new than all the old squeezed into one package.
Game is fantastic so far, but it's also the first 3DS game that I play with 3D off completely, the additional slowdowns, and the few instances where it's actually in 3D aren't worth it ....
For all the people asking about EV's don't bother about that for the story it doesn't matter much, plus there seems to be an easy way to reset them with super training for post-game.

How would you feel about the same idea as a Wii U title? (with obvious graphical improvement)
I was sort of pissed the way the game assigned EVs with stuff like capture XP and the share item, but the easy reset fixed all that. It was a must given that the other stuff sort of breaks the system.
Man, still can't get over the variety of pokemon in each area of the game. I can spend so much time just clearing out an area of pokemon I haven't caught yet. There's so much there. Way too fun.
Even less interest. Pokemon is a handheld franchise to me. It works because I can play it anywhere. I don't want to be tied to my couch to play it. In fact, if I'm on my couch there's something else I'd probably rather play that'd fit the format better.

Is anyone using Helioptile and/or Floette? Have I ruined these Pokemon by evolving them too early? (lv. 30-ish).
Is there any way to fix it?

In terms of what? Being competitive? If you're only using them during the campaign, you'll be fine. No really need to worry about specific builds for that.
If you're talking longer term competitive viability, no one knows what the new pokemon will look like in the competitive scene. You'd likely want to breed for specific abilities, IVs and natures anyway. In terms of EVs, you can always reset with a super trainer reset bag.

I think he's talking about if using the stones to evolve them would make them stop learning new moves.
