Um, no 3D in this game? How come it only works sometimes and not all the time?

No 3D during gameplay?

It's mostly a 2D game, only using 3D during some special moments IE selecting your Pokemon, in battle, and apparently in caves.

 

[starmud]

120+ resets today >.> ill give up on shiny fennekin after another day of trying...

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Stereoscopic 3D absent? Or is my 3DS broken? Am I going crazy?

 

[Feep]

Where do you find Ralts and anything in the Gengar line?

Ralts is a hyper-rare encounter on Route 4, I believe (same route with all the Flabebes). Probably 5% or lower.

 

[Erekiddo]

Also, if someone gets an Elekid, shoot me a PM.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Can you tell me where to find a shellder?

Shellder is exclusive to Y while Staryu is exclusive to X.

 

[matt360]

Where do you find Ralts and anything in the Gengar line?

In X, I've encountered plenty of Ralts just after the town with the first gym. Head toward the 2nd town and there will be some grass mazes. Search the grass around there.

you joined the pokemon herd!

 

[Morokh]

Stereoscopic 3D absent? Or is my 3DS broken? Am I going crazy?

Only works in 1v1 combat and in some caves, and produces additional slowdowns, not worth it.

Disappointing but the game looks awesome even without it.

 

[mapachealocado]

If it's the Flabebe evo i think it needs a shiny stone.

Ah, thanks!

Anyone knows if it's possible to get one at/before the city with the 3rd gym?

 

[Jintor]

So is there an ingame explanation of the specifics of pokemon amie or training in game at all?

 

[Sora_N]

Wow I'm a little disappointed Fletchinder is

Spoiler

Fire/Flying

, didn't think there'd be so many of that type. Maybe I should make a full team lol.

EDIT: Anyone else notice that Flabébé has (at least) 2 different colours? I have a pink and a yellow/tan-ish one.

 

[RuinerPrime]

Shellder is exclusive to Y while Staryu is exclusive to X.

This makes me a sad person

Stealth rock and whirlwind would not be kind to that team

 

[zhorkat]

Ah, thanks!

The only one I've found was after the 3rd gym.

 

[Feep]

you joined the pokemon herd!

Son I started this herd

 

[johnsmith]

Do you people going for shiny starters realize that the odds of that happening are 1/8192?

Just forget about it and use breeding to improve your chances to 1/1024 (assuming the Masuda Method and shiny charm are still in the game).

 

[shink]

I like how the girl is at call to heal your Pokemon in the first forest. Good for levelling I must say.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Where can I find heracross in X? Because you can find pinsir in Y...

 

[Sora_N]

Stealth rock and whirlwind would not be kind to that team

Haha yep, I'm probably gonna ditch him when he evolves. I already double dipped with Charizard and Delphox.

Yeah, it baffles me people are going for it. Going for certain natures, OK, and going for a female one can pay off greatly in the long run (or at least the short run when you want other starters), but Shiny? You won't get a Shiny from breeding, and the effort for little gain just isn't worth it.

 

[mapachealocado]

Ugh. Floette is going to the PC then. Thank you!

 

[Moxx19]

Just beat the 4th gym.

My team:

Zangoose
Roselia
Siglyph
Charizard
Pancham's evo (forget the name)
Gredinja

Anyone know where to get a shiny stone so I can evolve Roselia?

 

[Demon Ice]

How are people getting Alakazam and Gengar on their teams so easily? Is there an alternate way to evolve Pokemon that used to only evolve when traded now?

 

[Sora_N]

Did my first Wonder Trades.

First one I got a Pansage, then I got Weedle. Sweet. I missed catching a Weedle earlier today!

 

[Boss Doggie]

Where's the NPC that buys tiny mushrooms?

 

[Delio]

Just after the 5th gym and im rolling with

Delphox
Hawlucha
Clauncher
Doublade
Floette
Goomy

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

I got a Shellder. Can you not catch them in X?

My friend code is 2320-6152-0406.

Not sure how trading works in this game.

yea idk how to add you

 

[Panzon]

Anyone know the official release date of the strategy guide?

 

[Ashodin]

Son I started this herd

FC 4553 9968 7789

 

[cafemomo]

Where's the swimmers fossil located at?

I don't have a itemfinder...unless I must be blind

 

[MrCookiepants]

Lumiose City is just a big waste of space. Make a town 20 time as big as a regular town, with the same amount of stuff to do as a regular town. Gamefreak stahp with this. It's not impressing anyone.

 

[Sora_N]

SWEET I got Absol from Wonder Trade!

 

[toastyToast]

Does anything actually happen when a Pokemon is highly affectionate?

aside from that one evo I mean

 

[Velcro Fly]

Wonder trade sounds awesome. I'm definitely going to be a bro and give away version exclusive pokemon or bred starters.

 

[hemtae]

Just beat the second gym with a team of skiddo/pancham/charmeleon/honedge

Honestly I regret not picking Chespin since it seems to me that Skiddo and Pancham are doing a job that he would be doing by himself and then I could find a way to squeeze that fossil dragon into my team. Oh well.

 

[Vermillion]

You will get weak Bug-types in return, friend. Never trust the altruism of others. Ever.

 

[Vermillion]

Gah, I wish Delphox had a Mega Evolution! I still <3 it very much, though.

 

[Sol1dus]

Will there be another Thread opened just for training or will this one be used for it in the weeks to come?

 

[QisTopTier]

Dem lvl 7 stats LOL

 

[subtles]

I wish people would wonder trade exclusives. -.-

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

How did you get a shiny starter?

By turning on the game and it being a stroke of luck that my starter on the first try was a Shiny.

 

[AngelFire]

Starters you say?

 

[Chindogg]

So at my university GameStop, there are at least 400 pre-orders. I'm standing behind ~100 other people right now.

And the line keeps growing.

Edit;

Go State!

Is Pinball Pete's still good or did they take all the good pinball machines out and replace them with shitty redemption?

 

[Sora_N]

Why do my pokemon randomly start holding items? My Zigzagoon has gotten random potions and now my Bunnelby has a full heal.

 

[Erekiddo]

Don't some of them have item pickup abilities?
