How to I reclaim the torchic ?

From the main menu choose mystery gift (after saving your game one time) and then accept the card from that.

Spoiler

Make it to the first town and then you will see a huge Pokemon center, talk to the lady in blue next to the Nurse and she will hand it to you.

 

[Qurupeke]

Pidgey!

This is my first pokemon game and it's pretty engrossing. I just beat the first gym leader and I've already put in 3 hours and 21 minutes. Is it worth it to do all the training minigame stuff or should I just battle for experience?

You don't need to do the super training as the stats build in a similar way when just battling I think. Though you shouldn't need to use it to beat the game, thats for sure.

Also, at the pokemon screen, what does having a CD in your pokemon status bar mean?

Pretty sure it means the pokemon has a move you can use outside battle.

 

[sorakirosaki]

where do i go abut finding the hm for cut?

 

[Ferrio]

Apparently I met 1,800 people already with passerby. The online features for this game are a huge step forward.

So this has nothing to do with streetpass right? Works even if you're in buttfuck no where?

 

[takriel]

What EVs should I raise with Fennekin? I don't want to spoiler its attacks, so until now I've only done speed. Is it physical, special or both?

Oh yeah, that's right, Ralts can teleport.

 

[Cerity]

where do i get cut in this game?

help would be awesome

Can't remember exactly where but it's after snorlax IIRC. It's just a pickup.

 

[Chance Hale]

The EXP Share tool is such a game-changer in terms of speed and getting rid of some of the grinding tedium. Has anyone turned it off?

ahh thanks

I did turn it of yesterday evening. Felt so very strange to have my Pokémon constantly gain levels and learn new moves even though they haven't fought in forever :/

 

[Conor_Fool]

I am having a very hard time picking between the

Spoiler

Gen 1

starters. What is the best

Spoiler

mega evolution? I have Pokemon X, and Charizard X looks so cool, but I am going to level Goodra, so I don't really need another dragon

Any quick advice would be much appreciated!

 

[Ibuki]

I just traded a pikachu for a japanese smeargle in wonder trade.

 

[AngelFire]

But i want all 3 starters... when z comes I'll need them shiny.. High standards suck...

 

[watershed]

I'm glad I decided to make this my first pokemon game. Everything feels very refined and there isn't a hint of "I wish they innovated more" because it's all new to me!

To be fair B/W did put in some incredibly significant changes. The battle system was much improved in terms of fluidity and it added a ton of new pokemon.

This game is a much further step up though, that's for sure.

 

[Forkball]

It's spotpass related. Basically at the bottom of the PSS screen, a huge list of people will show up and it will refresh every now and then. You can trade, battle, or just say hi to them. It's pretty fun. I just got crushed by this Australian guy I saw on it.

 

[Chance Hale]

Just realized 5 hours in that I accidentally put the Y cartridge in instead of the X one which had the legendary I liked. Expletive!

 

[m0t0k1]

I hope next game skates are optional they are driving me crazy.

 

[LAA]

Brilliant... Post has been, no Pokemon Y.
Damn it ShopTo... Standards are slipping for me now.
Don't even think I can get any compensation from it because I didn't use recorded delivery.

 

[Shoyz]

They're optional now; D-Pad

 

[Antiwhippy]

Skates are awesome.

 

[JoeInky]

So I pre-ordered Y before multiple friends, it dispatched before them, and the post comes today and I'm the only one who hasn't got it.

I'm incredibly pissed off, no way I'm waiting till monday now, I'm actually going to go into town and buy it from GAME and just send the thing back to amazon when I get it.

 

[m0t0k1]

They're optional now; D-Pad

yeah but i want to keep the 360 movement instead the 8 way. the contstant switching between circlepad and dpad is unpleasant. let me navigate these hedges whoops to far ok let me talk to this person oops dashed way past him. in the long straights it is handy but for small navigation it is killer. Still loving this game though just a minor nitpick.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

I will never get tired of the friend characters calling me Based God

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, how do you auto-run?

 

[titusandronicus]

It's here! At home in Ireland the post is so slow (I get mine at 1:30PM) but in England the post has already came and been ages ago. HOORAH!

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Maxed out my Fenekkin's SpA and Speed through Super Training.

 

[m0t0k1]

Wait, how do you auto-run?

get the skates they are at the first gym you cant miss them. Also normal run is pressing B

 

[Letterbomb]

Why can't Vivillion learn Infestation? What? :'(
Also how do I turn off the damned skates lol

 

[Boss Doggie]

So I take it PGL won't work yet? I tried logging in but it says it's still under process.

Ahh so it's skates.

 

[Kinokou]

Okay so I have no idea how to evolve Riolu. Everything is maxed out in Amie, he's lv 22 and has been my main fighter for hours but he just won't evolve. Does anyone have any idea how Friendship works in X&Y? I don't recall it being this hard to do in Diamond.

isn't the friendship increasing bell item available? I think I have it, but not sure since I play in Italian

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Use the D-Pad.

 

[Forkball]

Use DPad to turn off the skates. They are useful but also extremely annoying when trying to go into a narrow spot.

I just spent like 15 minutes editing my trainer video. That thing has a ridiculous amount of options, can't wait to see what people come up with.

 

[Boss Doggie]

lol been restarting to get good nature for Chespin

 

[Kinokou]

it can, use the tm. worked on mine

 

[Gregorn]

I really can't remember the last time I was this excited to start playing a game.

I'm so glad after all these years I can still enjoy pokemon.

 

[Boken]

the skates are amazing

been so much fun just running around in circles in the 3rd town

 

[ShmeebAlina]

I have 5 spare Lv.1 Fennekins, anyone want 'em? Trade me anything.

 

[Castcoder]

Got a shitty nature for my Charmander and can't do much about it. Forcing a battle, then letting you choose without saving is bullshit. I hope Ditto is in this. I'm only happy it's a female Charmander.

with a female you don't need ditto, check out egg groups on bulbapedia.

Also the camera/movement controls in the main hub city is incredibly shit. Multiple times I've tried to read the sign for what a shop is and instead walked right into the door.

If you could rotate the camera with L and R or something i'd be happier

 

[Kyzon]

Still resetting for a shiny chespin :/

 

[Castcoder]

This is true...

 

[Shoyz]

So is it possible to go hatless? Passed a Japanese trainer called 'rihi' with no hat.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

...need to find Ralts...

edit: I've added you if you've still got some to spare. I'll work on making some Chespin's once I figure out how this shit works. How do I know who she can breed with?
