This is an awesomely helpful post. Would you happen to know a good place to find a summary of natures and abilities?

So, I'm watching the first ep of the XY anime on youtube and just from the beginning, I can already tell Serena has more of a character than Iris.
Oh man, I didn't know this was out yet. I know how I'll be spending the next 20 minutes. Thanks for the tip.
Quite good!
I know the feeling from the other side too though. I managed to steam roll a Charizard with Rollout Quilladin, and then managed to blast through the rest with the same attack, laughing all the way.
Of course I also got stonewalled by a Carbink since I had no idea it was a fairy type. Looked like a rock/ice to me lol.
I usually just check Bulbapedia for quick info. They have a handy chart on the Natures page and a page for every ability, though I don't know how much info they've added for Gen VI just yet.
There's a chart here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nature (you can sort by pressing the "increased stat, decreased stat, etc. buttons)
After much though, I finally decided to get a 3DS XL with Pokemon Y. Just reached Lumiose City and I'm loving it so far. The EXP. share really makes me switch Pokemon in battle, something I never did in the past (just used the starter all the way).
I caught a female Litleo and my question is whether it's evolved form varies by gender? It would make sense that the male gets a mane as opposed to a female...

Huh, so it turns out that the ralts
gives you actually has incredibly good IVs and natures.
So that's one breeding headache solved.

When does that happen?!

Here's the link incase you need it. They have both episodes uploaded, but they're each split into two parts for some reason.

Man. Dream abilities are not being kind to me. Bred a box full of Drilburs with 2x Mold Breaker parents... none had it. Then took a break to catch some Dragonairs for Multiscale... nothin.
Guess tomorrow I will dump most of them into Wonder Trade and see how many Caterpies I guess.

So does this game have the worst Post Game since Red/Blue?

Aw yeah girl. Was grinding my friend's Bug Safari for someone with a perfect Attack IV, and a Shiny Beautifly pops up. And it's my first shiny.

All my jealousy and hate.
Seriously, congrats.
Nicknames are special and a sign of affection of the original owner. To change them would be a slap in the face.
Enjoy your dick.
Nope, enjoy your 8===D!
What? The Friend Safari? The Battle Institute? The Battle Maison and Chateau? The Looker missions in Lumiose?
Literally the only thing to do in Red/Blue is fight Mewtwo.

So, just to be sure, the parent who holds everstone passes down the IVs/nature/skill right?
Because I have synchronise on ralts when I would much rather have trace, and I'm wondering if I can keep it's nature and IVs while passing on trace from the other parent.

Haha, I almost nicknamed I pokemon that with the intention of putting it up on wonder trade. I very likely will still do that.

I just got a Kabuto in a wonder trade. Where can you even get Kabuto in this game?
The following Pokemon games are the only ones with a decent postgame
Emerald
Platinum
HeartGold/SoulSilver
Any Pokemon game not listed have equally atrocious postgames.
Everstone only guarantees nature if I remember right, but it's from the parent that holds it.

Everstone just guarantees the nature. You can only guarantee 1 IV from a parent by equipping the corresponding Power item. http://i.imgur.com/zJ7tzWD.png this might help explain it.

Is that it? Very underwhelming. The post game content with Black and White were good.
But this...I just feel no reason to keep playing after I beat the Elite Four. I guess I could get the moves I want Yanmega to know...but thats about it.
PS: I'm probably the only one, but I never liked the Battle ________ places. Don't know why.

Friend Safari I think?
Have you tried going to every town to see if there is anything else that will interesting you?
What exactly is it you want in a Pokemon post-game?
BW had a postgame? I'm drawing a blank here.

So, what are those items and where can I find them?
Oh god, this breeding rabbit hole *rimshot* is deep and terrifying. D:
.... Yea i think ill just stick to breeding for natures and doing super training lol
Nincada should learn both. Route 6 grass.

The battle...thing in the Safari town. Each one costs 16 BP.
Yeah thats basically all I did back in Pearl, bred for natures and 1-2 good IVs.. had a Ditto with 31 speed so that made things easier. Super training didnt exist back then though, but re-challenging trainers was probably faster anyway. Fight the guy with 6 magikarps wearing the 2x EV item over and over was pretty reliable.
You're forgetting Black and White Version 2, which had a lot of postgame content. Tons of map areas unlocked, a bunch of dungeons, a gigantic legendary roster to hunt down. It was great.
It had a pretty big section of the map that got unlocked, but nothing particularly interesting happened there. There was the little subplot with Looker investigating the sages, but nothing else.
X/Y don't have as much of an map unlock, but there's probably just as much postgame content in it as B/W had. Version 2, on the other hand - it can't even begin to compare to that.
The names are here: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EV-enhancing_item
You can get them in the Battle Mansion which is post-game.
It's really easy to do. You should read up about it. Bulbapedia and Serebii have easy descriptions.

More areas to explore after the Elite Four, The ability to fucking battle people again that you've already battled.
The Elite Four to have stronger god damn Pokemon the second time around.
Come on.
After you beat the Elite four, a whole new side of Unova opens up to explore.
Or is that BW2?
Now I remember. Confirms it then; BW had a crap postgame.
edit: BW2 wasn't that big on postgame either I feel. The new areas weren't substantial. But it did have the Pokemon Tournament and GF did a good job hitting my nostalgia nerves.
Alright I'll concede. BW2 had an okay postgame, not decent so I won't list it with other 3.
Go back to the cafe you first met her in. I forget which one specifically. Sorry
It's in the north boulevard near the Pokemon Center. You must also have beaten the game, of course.

Also X/Y has many areas that we have no idea what to do, or what triggers their events, so maybe people should try exploring more?
We've got the power plants, all the secret cave rooms, and especially big is the mysterious item that we are told comes from none of the other regions.
