Man, trying to read all of this thread and am like 23 pages behind. D:
Anywayz: About 16 hours in and still not at tye second gym. I just know every gym afterwards will be quick. Would've been so awesome if the game was really that long, doesn't really feel like any filler so far.
My team:
Fenniken* - Fennec - Lv. 28
Vivilion (SP?) - Scatter - Lv. 27
Flabebe* - Floetta - Lv. 27
Combusken - Lv. 26
I wanna always play with a team of 6 with the first playthrough. So my other picks when I get to them:
Dedanne
Inkay*
So all new Pokemon with Blaziken because I wanna see Mega Evolution.
Ones marked with a * are ones that I will not evolve because the evolved forms are ugly.
Really enjoying the ga,e so far. Graphics are better than I expected in battles and overworld. Happy that wifi 1vs1 supports 3D. After finding out Double battles and up didn't, I expected the worse.
Also omg the wifi in this game is the best Nintendo has ever done. So many things to do, always connected, simply amazing.
I am catching every new Pokemon I see, I was actually thinking of offering some on the GTS with a weird nickname so that other gaffers could search for them and get them for free. (Dunno if the search function works with nicknames, but it did in the DS games so I assume so.)
Really awesome game and can't wait to see the rest of it and start EV training for the first time later on!

So I have played every gen since 1.
They really did always feel rehashed, but I enjoyed them for nostalgia sake.
This one, however, really feels *new* to me. The adventure feels as close to the first time I played Blue. I was skeptical with the new graphics and what not, but this game is great. Thank you GF.

Yeah, honestly the only thing about this game I absolutely loathe.
I'm not used to it randomly changing perspectives on me when I'm trying to talk to someone or enter a building.

is it just me or is the story plain... idiotic? the whole 'rag tag group of friends' is dumb. megaevolutions... lets just ask everyone on the road about it? Really?
Really disappointing after they try to add a bit more umph in bw bw2.

Shiny Pokemon MUST be more common, my little brother has just caught a Shiny Trapinch. That's 2 in the past 3 hours in this house!

Everytime there's a cutscene in a Pokemon game I skip right through it. It's not what I love in Pokemon and I don't have the patience to read it.
Yeah, no way the probability is the same.
Makes me happy though because maybe I have a chance to catch my first shiny Pokemon in 15 years of Poke-gaming :l
I have seen none, NONE!

Are you near the legendary yet?
It opens up a bit more then and I suspect that Z will be delve into it further.
No you're right. It's awful. I also miss mean/douche rivals but I guess Nintendo thinks that isn't kid-friendly enough nowadays :l

What nature would you guys recommend for Yveltal? Not that i am too particular, but just caught a sassy one which isn't great.

I am liking the story. I don't see what is idiotic about it. I actually disliked the story from Gen V, it tried too hard to be epic and failed. The story in XY is more like the story of older Pokémon games and that is awesome.
PS: Friendly rivals > Douche rivals. I don't know why people want characters to be douches -_-

Yes!I am using zigzagoon/Linoone for Cut, Strength, rock smash and ... surfer. Dont think I can ask for more if I dont have a water pkm in my team
But can Pancham surf? :-o
Not uncommon in Pokemon games. Snorlax can surf for example. So can Rhyperior
The zubat cave? lol

I've had a shiny flipping Geodude. That's it.
I don't think the game has been hacked. Guess you got really lucky.

i beat 1 gym so nope lol.
I just hope it diverges a bit from 'lets walk to each new town and ask some random labcoat guy there about megaevolutions!'
Yeah it is.
Wouldn't the looks and the variety of pokemon in this game be so good I would be disappointed.
Post game is bad as far as I see( seriously how are Strong trainers missing like GameFreak and someone like Cynthia.) Story is dumb and I have to say I think the Region feels weird, either something is way too distant or everything is superclose.
At least the wondertrade, super training and friend safari are good things

What about Psyduck? Looks cool, does he suck?
Can honedge to the handy tasks too? like cutting trees and smashing rocks etc? I have another unevolved Pikachu actually, so maybe I should trade out the evolved one. I actually got the evolved one in a Wonder trade and thought I'd done good.
(traded for a lv 10 Oddie or something). I kinda like the moves the Raichu has got already thoughI see. will look up where to find it then.
edit: Looked it up, seems like I'm on the right path. I have probably just to spent too much time in that sweet grass catching pokemons
Thanks for replying, both of you!!
Could someone do me a favor and give me the vaguest hint possible about how to evolve my Honedge? Lol
Like, as vague as possible. Should I be looking for something in the game world for it to interact with? Is it an item like a stone? Is it just by levelling up? Spoiler tag if you like. Thanks.

I think the interesting part about the group of friends is that it's the biggest reinforcement I've seen for the idea that you can play through the game however you want. Of course, progression is still locked through battles so you have to be good at those, but I like that the game is constantly reminding you that you can take a break from your trainer-destroying rampage and do something else. It helps that this game feels as if it has the most side content and wild Pokemon of any Pokemon game and that everything feels connected to Lumiose City.

I'm forced to progress through the game so I can get this Everstone to breed better! lol

Am I the only one here who faced the fighting gym with a Golurk?
It was AMAZING seeing the computer try to figure out a way to fight a ghost type when literally ever Pokemon in that gym only has normal or fighting type moves as their damage dealing attacks. One of the low rankers in the gym just kept whirlwinding until Delphox shut him down.

Once the evil team shows up, things will definitely take a turn for the dramatic. Right now its just a carefree Pokemon research tour. After hanging in the leak thread pre-release, its one of the heavier stories in the series.
Nah, Glittering. Althought the Zubat cave was pretty awesome
Short, next to no zubat for one reason or another, Axew, and others lol
Ah i forgot i got the farfetch'd in a trade
Not sure, but you do get a thunderbolt TM later on
Lol hilarious, that totally figures. Mine is currently
34
Naw, first to second.
Thanks guys!

yeah 2nd gym is a bit annoying with every pokemon having sturdy.

Yes, you can naturally overlevel them as well. I'm not sure about the range it takes place though. Obviously it isn't as harsh as the trades, which can disobey as early as lvl 10.
Edit: Or maybe not. It's been a long time since I've played, and I'm not too deep into this one yet.

Le sigh.
Attempting to get a haunter from the GTS and every single one:
"This pokemon has already been traded"
Then why is it up nintendo.
Why tease me.
