Probably going to have to wait until December when we can transfer our pokemon from past gens over.
It changes depending on which part of the world you live in. Mine (UK) is meadow.

female = breeded species

It hatches into the species of the female parent, so if you have a Male Tyrunt, the only way to get another is to either trade for one or to get a Ditto(which comes way later).

When does Sylveon get an actual Fairy attack? It's basically a normal Pokemon at level 27

My Umbreon is basically a normal Pokemon at level 47. Its been a while since I used a non-Espeon and man am I regretting it.
Mine is female fortunately. I'm reading about egg groups, I think it might be in the dragon egg group which is perfect because I have a male bagon I can breed with.
Eh my HG and SS are long lost, hopeing to be lucky with the World Trade later then

That'd be my guess as well. Sadly egg groups are a crapshoot until someone rips them from the game(Scrafty is also in the Dragon egg group for some reason).

Don't these give the same boosts as things like DarkGlasses to non-Arceus which begs the question, why have the former?
I finally caught a Heliotile, been wanting one forever. Actually, I caught three since I'm trying to learn this whole Pokemon Nature thing (I played all Pokemon games and never did anything with it). I don't play competitively, so I never bothered with it.
I got a Careful, Adamant and a Sassy Helioptile. If I understand this right, I at least don't want the Adamant or Careful ones, because those both have a decreased Special Attack stat, and Helioptile is probably more Special Attack-oriented, right?
So should I go with Sassy then? (Sp. Def up, Speed down)
Or maybe go back and catch another one...
Ughh this stuff is making me so OCD ;_; Should've never looked this up, lol

As a rule of thumb, Speed down is bad in 99% of cases. On your Pokemon you either want Sp atk up or Speed up(as it's an offensively based Pokemon). For in-game purposes though, having speed and Sp.atk neutral is decent enough.

Catching up to spriting the pokemon I've gotten gets harder as the designs get more complex.
Feel free to use any of these as avatars, first person to call em get em.
So what you're basically saying is, all three Helioptiles I caught have crappy natures

Even if you didn't look it up the whole why is this stat blue (down) and this stat pink (up) will be a question you ask or answer sometime. I hope I got those the right way around...I've never been good at this nature stuff.
Personally I run on the assumption that I am unlikely to use story stuff for competitive (breeding is likely to take place and everstone might help here) so am a bit less fussy on that front. I'm using a -def +atk Alakazam (is synchronise rigging nature still a thing, better not use it for random encounters if so and I can't see that ever being good...) and a +atk -spd Gardevour. They're barely acceptable and ultimately that is enough for me.

Pretty much. in-game most things can work since you can overcome most difficulties by leveling more. Competitively you have to min/max to death.

Awesome sprites as always Neorice!
Maybe you could sprite people's trainers based on photos from the game in the appropriate outfits? That'd be sweet

Also to echo something I asked earlier...
To anyone with a shiny Pokemon... does the sprite for that Pokemon in the box/save screen have its shiny colours?

Honestly don't worry about it until post game. Then you can find a Ditto with the nature you want, give it an Everstone, and can perfectly EV train it with the best nature from level 1. But to just beat the game you don't need a premium Poke.So what you're basically saying is, all three Helioptiles I caught have crappy natures

After 8 hours i finally hatch a modest mime jr...
The main city is absurdly big once you unlock all the parts. Is there another clothing store? I've only seen the one in the beginning part of the town and found a fancy store but they kicked me out.
I also just got kicked out of a sushi restaurant. No wonder the place it's based on had a violent revolution.

Is it possible to competely negate the negative aspect of a Pokemon's nature? I've got a couple dudes with Quiet and the hit to speed is painful. If I go hard on Speed training will it ever balance out? Is so, how long is it gonna take?
Glad I'm not the only one.
I already took him, sorry D:

One is from a boys fairytale and the other is from a girls fairytale.
Dragons cant beat Fairies because fairies aren't in male aimed fantasy tales.
I'm pulling this out of my ass. In other news I have a SECOND MODEST MIME JR up for grabs.

Depends on how the high the base stat is but in many cases you can cancel it out (if my not quite not recalling the maths calculation is correct, base stat >~130 can not be cancelled). However, it comes at the cost of not being able to train other stats.
Given how the Alakazam is Lonley and the Miltank and Slowpoke (up on GTS, nickname Slowtaku) that I caught with it in lead are also that...looks likely.
Video game logic. Submarines can be blocked by planes. Digging Pokemon can't be hit by Earthquake provided they are levitating...or flying type
because
have never expected that this one will be one of my favorits this gen. Very Powerful und fantastic stats.

I really admire Game Freak for going all out on this game. With so many Pokemon to animate I've been stunned that each and every one of them is animated really well. Historically Game Freak have been seriously lacking in technical ambition, I think they must have tripled their dev team numbers in order to achieve this. Or perhaps they're outsourcing like crazy.
So, played a loooot this week-end (about 10h in 2 days), and I really love the game so far. I really have nothing negative to say about the game, except 3D. I knew about the lack of 3D in the overworld, but I wasn't expecting the FPS drops in battle to be that noticeable in 3D. I just ended up disabling it entirely, which is something I never did with any 3DS game so far.
And honestly, it's the only negative thing I have to say about this brilliant game. It's a bit like having one wonderful dinner at a restaurant, then they bring you the wrong flavour of ice-cream for dessert. Nothing to complain about, but it's still a bit of a pity. Beucase man, am I in love with this game. It's really bloody fantastic.

Yeah that's a big disappointment to me, I'm a huge fan of 3D on the 3DS, even when the game looks slightly worse (usually in the form of harsh aliasing). I guess that's the problem, the game hasn't got anything visually downgraded in 3D mode so the frames per second takes a massive hit. I've turned it off too, but begrudgingly so as it otherwise looks fantastic in that mode.
