Here's my team for completing the game:

Did you build your team around mega evolutions?

 

[Star Falcon]

Soul Silver, Heart Gold has most post game. I would argue that even Emerald and Leaf Green/Fire red and platinum have more to do

Ah true, i forgot about the Kanto Gyms

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

 

[GamerSoul]

wow @ female Wobbufet lol

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

awww yeah, finally.

I can start training my team.

 

[pariah164]

I waited til 51 when it learned sacred sword

I regret not doing this, but it's still pretty boss.

I may try hatching some eggs to get a Shiny Honedge and level it up.

 

[Rflagg]

Ack Jaw or sail fossil so torn.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Going blind into a new pokemon is pretty good, though I've having dificulties deciding a team because of that x.x

One rule I put though is no choosing pokemon that were part of any old team of mine, except Charmander, because Charmander is awesome.

Did most of you evolve Doublade right away?

How can we evolve it? I'm using one right now.

 

[pariah164]

How can we evolve it? I'm using one right now.

Spoiler

Dusk Stone.

 

[Trey]

I used to use him all the time as a kid. Is Nidoran in X or Y?

I caught Nidoran(m) in Y. I only saw Nidoran(f) in a horde.

 

[AmICoolYet]

How can we evolve it? I'm using one right now.

It evolves with a Dusk Stone. I highly suggest waiting for it to learn sacred sword before evolving or you'll miss out on it.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Ack Jaw or sail fossil so torn.

Jaw. Tyrantrum is boss.

 

[Delio]

Nice this Gible has 31 in it's Attack stat and it's the onle Female I hatched lol.

 

[SlickVic]

Soul Silver, Heart Gold has most post game. I would argue that even Emerald and Leaf Green/Fire red and platinum have more to do

Yeah, I don't think any new Pokemon game is going to top Gold/Silver for me in terms of post-game content. 8 more badges to collect after the E4; that was just awesome.

 

[Azure J]

OH. MY. GOD.

The Xerneas battle music is the most amazing thing ever. I just want to listen to the song over and over. I'm actually going to reset for a good nature just so I can hear it more.

You know, as much as I'm enjoying this game, I feel like the one true negative I can raise against it is that thus far (IMO), it doesn't touch Gen V's musical highs ever. The only two songs that got me hype were Xerneas' theme and

Spoiler

the boss battles with Lysander.

Am I crazy?

Here's my team for completing the game:

This generation really reminded me of how much I loved Blaziken and Gardevoir in Ruby even if I don't have the fondest of memories for Hoenn in general. I especially love how Gardevoir essentially walls everything Team Flare by existing.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

I keep getting server busy messages for game sync. I just wanna get my Hall of Fame bros on my feed ._.

 

[Kyle]

So I bought some items using my poke miles via http://3ds.pokemon-gl.com/ --- but I wasn't sent the item in game or anything... Do I have to go pick it up somewhere?

 

[Unicorn]

Base stats for gourgeist?

 

[Kyle]

Holy crap, you can get a Charmeleon via Friend Safari? You think it's possible to get other starter (evolutions) as well?

Yes, you can get all three of the original starters.

I loved it as well. It'll never get that good again, probably. That was just too good.

 

[Deified Data]

Whoa! Did not know that Furfrou 'do existed. How did he hold up versus the E4?

 

[Roto13]

Ack Jaw or sail fossil so torn.

I'm sure it's super easy to GTS trade for whatever you don't get. Hell, I got my Jaw fossil Pokemon from a Wonder Trade.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Here's my team for completing the game:

how did you get that? from pokemon-gl.com?

 

[NEO0MJ]

Spoiler

Dusk Stone.

It evolves with a Dusk Stone. I highly suggest waiting for it to learn sacred sword before evolving or you'll miss out on it.

I see, thanks. It's funny how cool a floating sword can be. One strange thing about it though is that it can be male or female, which is pretty strange for its design.

 

[Busaiku]

Huh, I thought Steel was resisted by Fighting.

 

[Moonlight]

Check the hotel in the second gym's town or the one right after that (which you don't need to beat the 2nd gym to get to). That's as far as I am, so it's one of those.

Took me longer than I'd care to admit to find it, but managed to pick up that O-Power. Thanks!

 

[Rflagg]

I'm sure it's super easy to GTS trade for whatever you don't get. Hell, I got my Jaw fossil Pokemon from a Wonder Trade.

That is crazy town, in a good way. I ended up going jaw the t-rex thing looks too cool plus I went with the water starter.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Whoa! Did not know that Furfrou 'do existed. How did he hold up versus the E4?

It's the Pharoh hairstyle.
He didn't really do much unfortunately, he was a Great Wall though.

Either crazy or deaf. Sycamore's theme, Route 15, the fairytale town are all super hype. Up there with the Bridge town, the Ending theme, and that one sad theme from BW. Also, both BW2 and XY have a fun champion theme

 

[Trey]

I love Nidoking, I'm thinking of raising him too. Most of my team are my old favorites though. I gotta change it up.

Same. I kinda had to force myself to branch out, but even then I'm only rocking with two Gen VI pkmn. Out of the eight or nine I'm bringing up. I guess I'll get Malamar into the swing of things.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Either crazy or deaf. Sycamore's theme, Route 15, the fairytale town are all super hype. Up there with the Bridge town, the Ending theme, and that one sad theme from BW. Also, both gens have a fun champion song.

Don't forget PokeBall Factory, my favorite.

 

[SoulUnison]

How do you remove someone from PSS Friends?
Just deleting their Friend Card from the 3DS doesn't seem to do it.

 

[ColossalLazy]

It is a good idea teaching Greninja Surf?

 

[Frogstep]

I waited til 51 when it learned sacred sword

51 it is!

 

[MicH]

Finished checking all my friend safaris (no 3rd a Pokemon in any yet though huh)

Notable Pokrmon include:

Wartortle
Abra
Larvesta
Noibat
Gabite

Not bad, I suppose. Gonna add a lot more friends tomorrow

 

[DMG-01]

Don't forget PokeBall Factory, my favorite.

I honestly don't remember it, so I assume it didn't strike me at the time. I'll have to go back and check it out again sometime. There were so many moments in XY where I had to pause because the music was so good. I don't really remember doing that in the other gens.

 

[Aggrotek]

It is a good idea teaching Greninja Surf?

Waterfall is better.

 

[Tonezorz]

I see, thanks. It's funny how cool a floating sword can be. One strange thing about it though is that it can be male or female, which is pretty strange for its design.

I feel that way about Fennekin. I reset for a female, mostly because I thought it would be a little strange using a male based on it's appearance.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Is there anyone who has a bunch of Dittos or can easily catch one and trade me? I don't care about IVs I just want to breed.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Where are you guys getting that fancy team portrait from? I thought the website features weren't online yet.

 

[GAMERG0D]

I just got the guidebook, it's smaller than I expected. Just wait for the real guide.

 

[AmICoolYet]

Does anyone know where I can see a vulpix for GTS purposes?

 

[ColossalLazy]

Waterfall is better.

Isnt Waterfall physical? My Greninja has higher Sp Atk

 

[ramyeon]

Does anyone know where I can see a vulpix for GTS purposes?

You don't need to see stuff for the GTS, unless you want to specify gender.

 

[Roto13]

Does anyone know where I can see a vulpix for GTS purposes?

You can apparently look for any Pokemon whether you've seen it or not by scrolling to the bottom of the list of letters and picking "Which Pokemon?" or whatever it's called.

 

[Tonezorz]

I just go the guidebook, it's smaller than I expected. Just wait for the real guide.

The guide for example, listed on amazon for around $12?

 

[AmICoolYet]

Holy shit I missed that completely. GOTY.

 

[Azure J]

Either crazy or deaf. Sycamore's theme, Route 15, the fairytale town are all super hype. Up there with the Bridge town, the Ending theme, and that one sad theme from BW. Also, both BW2 and XY have a fun champion theme

Oh actually, these are all good. I'm just saying that Gen V really had some impressive music that hasn't been matched yet. I still want a town theme as good as Lacunosta Town's.

Good to hear about the Champion themes though.

Waterfall is better.

Why? It definitely skews more to special attacking than physical. Surf's a perfect compliment to that.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Anyone know where Gyro Ball is located?

 

[Trey]

Waterfall is better.

Depends on how you specced. For me personally, I made Greninja a special attacker.

I kept water pulse though because it looks nicer and fits the ninja theme I have going on with substitute and toxic.
