I don;t think these have been posted yet so I thought I'd make some Avatars out of an awesome piece of art I saw.
Grab them while they are hot people

Still not very far into the game, as I only beat the first gym last night and then caught a Pikachu.
Currently just leveling up before I move onto the next town.
I'm really enjoying this version of Pokemon a lot more than I thought I would. Plus it's fun seeing the dynamic camera angles during a battle.

It's at the Chateau in the garden where you have to chase down Furfrou. In a yellow Poke-ball on the left side.

Just got a Solar Power Charmander from Wonder trade. I still haven't figured out what the Special Defense training bags are supposed to be.
No worries, just curious, I'm leveling a second team right now, skrelp (super slow and kinda sucky so far), sylveon (evolved at level 20 wat wat, awesome so far), machop (to evolve and then trade), carbink (mostly to see evolution), vespiqueen (never had one before), and espurr
So I'm looking for some lower level stuff to fight against
One of my favorite things about Gen 3 that I don't think they've repeated were those trainers you could fight over and over and they'd get stronger every time

Team Flares battle theme is easily one of my favourite Pokemon songs of all time.
Rock smash was pretty early on, just keep talking to every one. Like before the second gym early.
Items give a variety of benefits in battle. Self healing, surviving OHKOs, powering up attacks, etc.

Hah! How fitting.
Diggersby > Bibarel and Linoone it seems. Pickup + great HM Slave.
Just wait till you have to start cuddling them and feeding them cookies
I think I just aint gonna bother with competitive training (in the EV sense) and play it straight up blue/red old days style
if I wanna get nuts i'll re-do my team later

Its crazy how there are so many Pokemon per route you can easily miss out on things when travelling on a route. On route 10 I totally missed Eevee...
There are the mega evolution stones but that is fairly obvious. Some effects are species exclusive like the light orb gives Pikachu double special attack while the thick club and stick give Cubone (and marrowak) and Farfetch'd double attack, respectively.
Basically read the in-game descriptions.
Berries can heal status effects as soon as you get hit by them. Other items give useful effects like Amulet coin gives you double prize money from trainers if the holder took part in the battle (this+prize money O-power will end any money issues).

This is the first time I boxed my starter too. None of the final evos look interesting and Charizard filled up his spot.

Crossposting because thread is so damn fast!
I'm a total pokemon noob, this is my first game, but have been playing a good bit since Friday, so I have a couple of questions.
1) What sort of things, beside story/plot twists, is considered to be a spoiler? I see name of pokemons flying around so I assume that is safe?? It's kinda hard to know for a newcomer...
2) Game wise, I'm now at Ambrette, with a playtime of 8:30 and Pokedex 75. I have only been to one gym, but on the bright side I was made a Viscount at the snob club (lol).
The team:
Braixen 31 - feels horribly overpowered at this point, instakills most stuff apart from water/fire
Ivysaur 25
Raichu 29
Panpour 22
Pancham 21
Pidgeotto 25
I like Braixen, Ivysaur and Raichu a lot. Panpour I keep only for water, but I find him kind of dull, Pancham is my false swiper, cutter, smasher and over all handyman. Pidgeotto is pretty meh to me, but an ok damager I guess.
I would obviously like to have a good all-round team, and if some of you vets would like to comment on it, and make suggestions for good candidates to make improvement on the team I would be a very happy pokeman. Of the captured pokemons that I have stored, and that I think looks interesting, I have Psyduck, Honedge, Roselia, Skiddo, Furfrou, Scraggy, Kecleon, Ducklett, Volveat and Meditite.
3) I have a feeling I should have reached at least the second gym by now? Am I doing it wrong?
Sorry for the long post, or if I forgot to spoiler-tag something, but question have sort of piled on since I was banned during the weekend
Oh, yeah, the game is awesome and addictive! The battle part of it is pretty much as good as it gets in a jrpg. The story is about what I expect from a japanese rpg. But all the different types, the moves, and the elements make battling really complex and interesting. On the downside it's a bit on the easy side so far (should maybe turn off EXP share?). Braixen kills everything in battles, and the biggest problem about catching pmons is them dying way too often. :/
hmm im not exactly an expert but in my opinion u should look into a fighting type pokemon since they tend to be fairly diverse (meditite is a fairly decent choice) honestly i also feel the monkeys arent really that great so dropping them might not be a bad idea to replace them for some more versatile grass and water types pokemon like skiddo are fairly versatile and can cover a lot of weaknesses. Honedge is also another decent pokemon i would recommend using as its typing is fairly awesome.
As for how your playing just enjoy the game at your pace there is really no right or wrong when playing and using your favorite designs is also half the fun of the game

Oh, can Ditto transform into Megas?
So just throwing a potion on one will make them use it when they need it?

You can fight the weaker people at the Chateau - the Barons and Baronesses that keep showing up.
Low class scum.
I really wish they added more minigames for it. It's really nice to be able to allocate effort like this, but it feels like a chore. It's especially bad when you add a new Pokemon to your team and you need to start training it from scratch.

But does it have Pick Up?
It's a sarcastic subtle commentary on European vs American tipping economy.
Yup. That's all I've been using mine for.

honestly once it evolves it becomes a bit better as it learns water shuriken(i think his moveset is shallower judging by what my friend is telling me, at least shallower than fennekins) Id say stick with it until 3rd evo at least and see what happens
GameFreak reads off topic GAF.

Seems to be something like in Animal Crossing where you need to find two specific flower colors and hope to spot the Flabebe there
I thought carbink didnt evolve...

Does anyone have a quick list of where to get most of the HMs? I want to make sure I haven't skipped any.

Where do I find a Water Stone? Staryu doesn't learn anything worth not evolving for.
My first flabebe is the white one then I went on a hunt for the blue one.

OMG, I need a Ditto now~
EDIT: Anyone think that Ditto will become more usable because of this? Competitively?
Pokemon won't use items like that. They'll use berries when they need it if you have them hold one, but not things like Full Heal or Super Potion. Those have to be applied by the trainer.
Most likely in double battles.

Yes.
False Swipe too! Gave Surf to my Greninja instead and gave Pancham FS. Perfect utility pokemon for now.

Jynx looks bad in 3D. :S
Ditto's still going to get wrecked from his low HP, but ever since he got Imposter he's been pretty useful in battle.
Wait, who was responsible for the translation? I laughed hard about the following dude telling something about Oak's grandkid. (In the Pokémon Center before the fifth gym). "Yeah Professor Oak's grandchild came here to Kalos to study abroad. He nailed everything including "bonjour!", but everytime he left he kept saying "smell ya later!"
Just beat the sixth gym. My team right now;
Tyrantrum lvl 40
Talonflame lvl 40
Ampharos lvl 40 (dat mega evo)
Gogoat lvl 40
Charizard lvl 43
Greninja lvl 43
