Well, while waiting for my Amazon copy of X...

Got Y! :p

Decided to use Froakie as my main in Y (Chespin was always for X), and got Pikachu already (my fave still, well..2 a female and a male).

Playing it on the 2DS. Really enjoying everyrthing at the moment.

Only things I'm not feeling about this game is the schizophrenic 3D implementation and the fact everything is just given to you. Here's your starter, and a classic starter, what about a Torchic? Oh and here's a
Lucario
and a
fossil poke'
and a
Lapras
why not? and I'm only ten hours in. A lot of it feels like it should be late game stuff that should have to work to get to.

The way exp share is streamlined is for the better but only serves to make the game feel more 'on rails' so to speak.

Yes, I can give away male fennekins. I don't give away eggs at the moment because I'm still hoping that one the eggs is going to give me female fennekin. :D Just add my friend code and give me yours. 3394-3650-2720

I would love a fennekin if you are wiling to trade. I could trade an egg for the water starter if you need it.

Man, I'm nearing 13 hours and I think I've still got quite some time till the 2nd gym.
Getting every Pokemon along the way sure is time consuming.

At least I got a Shiny Abra and maxed out Pikachu's stats (who has a great nature, with 31 Speed IVs).

This game's been going just fine.

I have Kadabra in my team and I'd love an Alakazam somwhere down the line. But can anyone tell me if it's recommended to get Alakazam as soon as possible or if it's more wise to level up Kadabra for a while first? I was wondering if it will influence it's stats.
 
Wonder Trade is both the fucking worst, hilarious, supremely awesome addition to the series I'm laughing my ass off at all the Japanese Bidoofs/caterpies being traded to me only to trade over and over to receive some good Pokemon like Seviper, Smeagle, Kadabra etc.

Hold on, let me devise a better catching method and get you one.
GTS Dittos are asking for crazy things though.

Also hatched 3 Fennekin eggs, 2 are female if people are interested.

I think a Wonder Trade only run would be pretty hilarious.

Cutscene, having to choose your Nickname, Pokedex received...not surprised they didn't. It's pretty tedious. Luckily I got an Adamant Chespin after a few resets.

Someone didn't play Platinum.

As far as soft resetting for starter goes, it's about as tedious as Gen 1, which wasn't bad at all.

It doesn't matter either way.
They level up the same way, and they learn moves at the same levels

How the hell do I catch Snorlax? I can kill this thing so easily so I've got nothing to hit him with once he's down below 10%. Paralyzed him and used an ultra ball and that didn't work.

Up + AB didn't work either
I got it down to maybe 5%, was paralyzed and took I think 3 great balls to catch. I think I just kept using Pikachu quick attack to do little by little damage and it was unable to move like 80% of the time.

Ok they have done some work on the series.

The good: everything is fast, you get shit done quickly, move quickly, you get the essential traversal/social items very early. Explosive start compared to the previous pokemon.

The bad: It's easy. Exp.share makes your whole team monstrous so quickly and the pokemon learn actual good moves very early. (well that's a good thing obviously, but not balanced with the difficulty of the game)


Game is gotg material :b
 
This got buried last time I asked, but can you switch freely back and forth between languages throughout the game, or are you stuck with whatever language you choose when first prompted?
