Who's not gonna start their quest until they get a Shiny?

Me possibly. Seems like masuda was being truthful when he said he wanted shines to be more common.

 

[eojoko]

Picking up my X pre-order tomorrow morning from my Gamestop. My store isn't staying open until midnight. Wonder if it'll be crowded tomorrow morning.

 

[Forkball]

Three hours until us normal people get to play. Well four hours if you count the slow 3DS download. Well, five hours if you count resetting to get a decent nature for the starter...

 

[FSLink]

Still on the fence on this one. Black/White were way better than expected, but I passed on B2/W2. Also I only know one or two friends personally getting it (plenty of people online though).

Plus part of me wants to get the JP version because my JP 3DS has a capture board, but it's kind of hard to justify paying extra just for the ability to take pretty screenshots. And I'd prefer a physical copy. Decisions, decisions...

Biggest thing is just the time commitment though. For those with the game, how fast is the game flow? If I get this I don't want to be spending half the time playing looking at health bars scrolling down (I still have nightmares about D/P).

Oh, also: does anyone know if the JP version has any connectivity issues with US versions?

Go Japanese digital and US retail. :0

 

[newdayrocks]

Can anyone confirm for my son whether Mewtwo is available to capture in X/Y, or if he needs to be brought in from a previous game?

 

[watershed]

The wait is killing me! Lucky bastards from other countries and time zones!

 

[fizzgigg]

Can anyone tell me how long this game is?

Spoiler

Yes he is the game without having to transfer.

My son (new to the Pokemon games) thanks you!

 

[gazele]

In preparation (damn you American time zones) I'm trying to add FCs

Mine is 2449-4639-2143 (DJ as the name)

Feel free to add me and pm me and I'll follow back

 

[JSoup]

Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while.

Sadly enough. :/

 

[AcademicSaucer]

The only annoyance so far is that when you catch a pokemon if you accidentally select to nickname it there doesn't seem to be any way of cancelling and going back, forcing you to nickname :/

put the pokemon name, its the only ay to cancel

 

[Bullza2o]

Whoa there's a new Streetpass puzzle set for Pokemon XY!

EDIT:

No you don't. Just leave it blank, and press enter.

PAL? JP?

EDIT: NA here and it seems I just got it.

 

[ramyeon]

Nope that would mean any evolution would have that name too lol.

No you don't. Just leave it blank, and press enter.

Ah okay! No complaints then! Loving it so far.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Hope its not to bad. Animal crossing was pretty smooth downloading for me.

the hype isnt even in the same galaxy, remember th e3 nintendo direct .

 

[Hylian7]

So what time zone at midnight does this hit eShop? I'm in the central US time zone.

 

[Milennia]

2 and a half hours left till midnight EST....

 

[Bullza2o]

PAL? JP?

EDIT: NA here and it seems I just got it.

Yup I got a blue light and wondered what it was.

 

[Inferno313]

2 and a half hours! Lets go E-Shop!

The worst part about waiting for a game to come out is that all my other games don't appeal to me, since all I can think about is Pokemon.

 

[Ken]

what timezone in the US is midnight already O.O

not all gamestops are in the mainland man

 

[vall03]

Damn timezones! I want the game on eShop now!

 

[Jachaos]

Sorry if this has been answered but this thread's size is already pretty intimidating.

So what are the major differences between X and Y apart from the legendary and Charizard mega version ?

I don't know which to get. Sway me GAF.

 

[Busaiku]

I wonder if I should go to Gamestop earlier tomorrow.
I was planning on going like a couple minutes before opening, but I'm kinda worried.

Yeah, people will be able to get it at Walmart, but still...

 

[ColossalLazy]

Got the Torchic with mega stone.

 

[chickdigger802]

not all gamestops are in the mainland man

huh didn't know there were gamestops over there


k, fuck it, off. gonna hang out in the gym for a bit then go there REAAADDDDY.


Perfect time to pick up the shiny giratina too!

Stupid question I always had about these games... how do you tell if a move is an
"attack" or "sp. attack"?

 

[ffdgh]

The move description either says physical, special, or status.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Can anyone tell me how long this game is?

Some leaker said it took him 30 to 40 hours to finish the main story.

 

[newdayrocks]

Added! Mine is 4570-7574-5703. Add me!

 

[ColtraineGF]

Stupid question I always had about these games... how do you tell if a move is an
"attack" or "sp. attack"?

When reading a move description, it'll have one of 3 descriptors: Physical (moves that are affected by the Attack stat), Special (moves that are affected by the Special Attack stat), and Status (moves that alter status, or do something else).

 

[MicH]

God I love this game, but the pacing between the first and second gym is ridiculous! Also bike is way too fast - and I thought the roller blades were hard to control

There are also pre gen 6 exclusives as well but im not sure if you guys want that posted in this thread( not even spoilers because they are just old pokemon that are version exclusive) as i havent seen anyone post it yet.

 

[Firestorm]

How the hell do I get to the second gym leader?

halp I'm at the airport with a 3 hour flight I don't want to be stuck on

Currently in the weird stones town.

I'd want to know, you can PM me or spoiler tag it

 

[Varna]

Thanks guys.

I thought just the running was fast enough... I really wish you could assign the circle pad to walking.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Hmm... IIRC, one of the /vp/ players was stuck, and he progressed by changing his outfit or something like that. Don't quote me on that though, it happened a while back.

 

[Ken]

i connected to the internet

why am i getting all these japanese passerbys

i dont understand how this works

 

[eudaemonic]

Now there's a name I haven't seen in a while.

I chuckle when I tell people I used to work for Babbages and I get the dog whistle head tilt.

 

[Firestorm]

I'd want to know, you can PM me or spoiler tag it

Very Major difference:

Spoiler

Aggron is X and Tyranitar is Y but their respective mega stones are in the other version.

 

[Milennia]

I'd want to know, you can PM me or spoiler tag it

PMd

 

[Bladenic]

Man I still can't decide between Fennekin and Froakie. Ugh so hard! They both look great and have interesting aspects in their final forms.

Pick Froakie and you get a Fennekin in the post game.

 

[Mik2121]

One tip for you guys waiting for the eShop. I was waiting for the JP one last night and it actually updated at 23:30. The main page said the game was going to be on sale soon, but after clicking on it, the purchase button showed up.

Worth a try, I guess

 

[xKilltheMx]

Playing now. Here's my friend code pm me yours so we can be pokemon buddies.
0259 1115 6640

 

[Ken]

Spoiler

Pick Froakie and you get a Fennekin in the post game.

does the reverse happen as well?

 

[zychi]

can someone link me to a tutorial of how to transfer my pokemon from either soul silver(i'm guessing this is a not possible) or black 2 to x?
