Pokemon X Pokemon Y |OT| Gotta Catch em All...NOW IN 3D!

So I've been helping some people on /vp/ learn their Safari types and inhabitants, and in the process I ran into my first ever shiny in 19 years of Pokemon lovin'. Traded it to some guy cause it was his favorite. The coloration looked really good on his model. Magcargo just looks good all-around this gen.



Anyway, was in such a good mood cause I found a Safari that has an Aipom AND a Ditto in it (the former being my favorite Pokemon). Gonna Sweet Scent this crap up and search for some shiny Aipom hordes! :D

You...you traded your first ever shiny? Are you insane!? You must be quite a genuine person, cause I know when I encounter my first shiny it will be all mine.
 
Should we start a spreadsheet of what Pokémon people have in their Friend Safari?

That'd be a really good idea.
I know I'm Bug type. I have Pinsir, Masquerain, and Combee in my Safari. (Meh.)
Friend code is 4398 9604 6699

Lol! Well, I'm really happy I finally got a shiny, and I'll always know what Pokemon it was. It had a bad nature, and I don't like the Pokemon myself much anyway. Would never use it competitively, which is what I'm after, and it would really just sit in my box and be transferred to future games if I kept it for sentimental reasons. He'll enjoy it more than I would.

Damnit I wish Hawlucha had an evolution.

He's just so fucking cool, but he's so goddamn small and I already have a giant panda on my team :(

Damn man, you loved Pokemon over 2 years before it came out in Japan? That is quite something.


Congrats! And it's a decent one too, the only 2 shinies I ever encountered were Unown in Gold and Pichu in Platinum. Pichu. That looks exactly like the event Pichu.

How long is the game?
I'm seeing a lot of people beating it in, what, 4 or 5 days and I'm a bit concerned.
I've been playing White a lot for the last 2 weeks (around 35 hours now) and just obtained my 6th badge. Am I really slow or is everyone rushing to see the post-end content?

Goddamnit.

How do get past those damn punks in the
lost hotel?

I already got in the lumiose boutique and they still don't think that I have style.
 
Someone posted a map of Lumiose City on Reddit :)

Could be useful!

I have 6 badges now, around 40 hours so far. I have the game since last thursday. Plenty things to do ingame.

Learn the 4 skate tricks from skater NPCs in Lumiose. I can't remember their exact locations though. :/

GAF, I've just beaten the second Gym and my Chesnaught is level 43. Am I doing this right?

I guess my OCD won't let me leave an area before catching every single Pokemon available in the area. :~~

Almost bought this today, but for some reason did not.


As someone who was crazed over Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow back in the day, got a lil ways through Black on my 3DS, but other wise has not played any Pokemon games, will this rekindle the magic?

Alright, I've made a basic Friend Safari spreadsheet. It might take a while to get filled in as not too many people are there, and it's hard to find out what your own info is, but we'll see.. ;)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoqoJJMkPJSMdEpBRW40OE1TRG42ZUtuZm1idTc0Rnc&usp=sharing

Is it weird/creepy if I/we add some people based on what I know? Would be quicker. For some I only know the ingame name though, I could let them complete with GAF username.

I guess I'll let them add FC too?

Yes, you made a poor decision today. Tomorrow is a new day however.

It most certainly will. The feels this game has given me, I have not felt since I played Blue, and I've played every Pokemon so far.

Yeah, I figured we could pop some details on preliminary and if that person wants to share their code etc, they can fill it in. If not, no harm no foul.

I've mostly been avoiding this thread since I don't have my copy yet and I am still like 95% spoiler free (I have no idea what the starters final evolutions look/type are yet, new features, etc.), but, according to my Amazon tracking it's going to be here later today (it's 4:30 a.m. here currently). Haven't been this excited for a game since uh..... Pokemon Black and White? So hard to contain my hype.

Kinda bummed though, I didn't realize we had a stupid holiday monday in the states or I would have just went to wal-mart or gamestop to get the game. It's been so hard to wait this long v_v

When one of the first pokemon you see is pidgey in the grass you might cry

Pidgey was my first catch in this game! Nostalgia overload.

Also, for the first time I think, you can buy Pokeballs before you hit any random encounters in X and Y. This is a big deal for people who ran into a shiny Pokemon in previous games before they got any balls. Can you imagine that?
 
Added myself to the list! Still don't know which type I am because none of my friends have access to the Friend Safari yet..

Added myself on there. Larvesta, Braixen and Pansear are in my Safari for those interested. Be sure to send me a PM when you've added me and I'll do the same for those I add. Thanks.

Also, you should make that spreadsheet private...

You and me bro~ Then again, my Pokémon are all around Level 24 or something, so it's not THAT bad :p

Had a great session yesterday : caught lots of Pokémon (including that blade Pokémon for my team), trained the Larvitar I traded yesterday (which is now around Level 17, and knows some good attacks). It was really nice.

By the way, I believe there's a male version of the Psy cat Pokémon (don't remember his name), near the Castle near Road 7, right? I only found the female variety...
