Battling Sycamore over and over to get a decent-natured Charmander...

Settled for Rash in the end.. :D

I keep getting everything that hits Special Attack.

I wish a Western developer could somehow get the rights to this IP.  Then we'd lose all of these archaic grindy mechanics Eastern developers can't seem to ditch.

Meh, I would worry that it would loose some of its charm. Anyway, there is that minigame trainer now, so I guess it ain't that big of a deal.

That's only for EVs as far as I know.

Since I never did EV training, I suppose now that I can take a non-optimal nature and essentially even out.  It's still a stupid mechanic, though.

I read a spoiler months ago that X and Y would bring an item that would allow you to see a wild Pokemon's nature.  Obviously that wouldn't help the Sycamore/Gen 1 starter situation, but I hope that it turns out to be true.

Bah, due to reasons I won't be able to get Pokemon X until Tuesday at the earliest. How are you guys that already have XY finding it? On other forums I've seen the vast majority of people absolutely loving it, others saying that it's blown them away similar to how Gold/Silver/Crystal did for them years ago.

The P.S.S is the best thing to happen to Pokémon since adding EV/Natures to the game. You really do feel connected to others and you can send friend requests to people through the game. Such a great feature of course the music, graphics and everything else is awesome but the P.S.S really is amazing.

Question guys! I am trying to get a physical fighter, and want Pancham. IIdeally I'd like one with Iron Fists for ability (+20% to all punch moves) and Adamant Nature(+att -sp att)

But it's taking forever to find one to these exact specifications.

I have caught one with Mold Breaker and Lonely nature(+att -def)
One with Mold Breaker too but Naughty nature(+att -sp. def)
And one with Iron Fists and Naive nature(+speed -sp. def)
Caught a Naughty one with Iron Fists

And just got a Iron Fists Jolly one (+speed -sp. att)
Which seems to be best option so far.

In case I don't find what I want in a bit, which would you use?

I'm no expert, but I'd say definitely the last one. That speed will should come in handy, as I cant see that Pokemon being too fast, and sp. attack ain't gonna matter either, specially if your going for those punch moves.

Thanks for the input, I think I will. I've used 5 hours trying to get a Adamant one and now I just feel like progressing.

Heh. Its funny, I said that one of the reasons I liked X and Y so much was its lack of grind, and yet clearly this can take a while. Guess we can't have it too easy.

At least it's not as big a deal now that we have that minigame trainer thingy..

I got an Adamant Tyrunt. That one's pretty easy, though, as you can save right before you turn the fossil in.

I'm trying to get a good Absol now. I'll settle for anything with +Attack or +Speed that does minus either, and Absol seems pretty common on Route 8. All of this just feels so arbitrary, though. I'm going to kick myself if they really did add things to make this easier later in the game (a way to swap natures would be amazing).

FYI, it appears you do still get EVs from battling, so make sure you do Super Training right after you catch something. If you hit the empty gym bag, you'll eventually find a bag that resets EVs

I've found the level 1 super training to be the most efficient. You'll often get L bags, which are worth 12 EVs. Level 1 events only take like 5 seconds to complete, too. Did anyone else find the same? A full 12 rounds of level 1 events is worth ~120 EVs with all of the bags.

I'm planning on a adamant Tyrunt too.

Have you guys had experiences with Pokémon appearing exclusively in horde battles? It's happened to me three times now, a Zangose in a horde of Sevipers and a Plusle in a horde of Minun. Also the only time I encounterd Tailow was in a horde.

I haven't encountered Zangose or Plusle on their own. Wonder if X is the other way around.

I don't know what to do .-. I need a new laptop cuz my old one died. 

But my soul needs a pokemon fix.   BTw can pokemon follow you around like in Soul Silver or are they never giving that back to me.  

Or maybe I'll just wait until there's a pokemon Z or something...

You could always get a 2DS. They're a little cheaper, and would do, so long as you dont mind your console being a wedge.

3D does knack all anyway on X and Y. Pretty much appears only in battles, and I'd swear it even makes the frame rate visibly drop sometimes.

It's not that I can't afford getting a 3DS (2DS is an abomination I will never touch) I just find the idea of of buying a console for one game unsettling.

Especially a portable console I know I'm probably not going to play once I'm sick of pokemon.

I'm going to just copy and paste something from a different thread.

The 3DS has a ton of great games. Sure you just want Pokémon but at least that isn't the only game on the 3DS that is worth it.


If it helps the online for Pokémon X/Y is amazing.

I got a 2DS for it, don't mind the shape, smaller than I expected, it actually does fit in my pocket.

@Earthbound N: Jinx is going to get me to play LoL again.

So you're a grown-ass adult paying $239 to play Pokémon.

Do it! She's the first released champion since I started playing. Couldn't have joined at a better time.

@Lenimph
Look at that list. Glorious. Something there's gotta tickle your fancy, amiright?

 Something worth noting that people have discovered regarding the Friend Safari is that all pokemon found there have perfect (31) IV's in at least 2 stats. Same goes for the cover legendaries Xerneas and Yveltal, but bump it up to 3 stats.

For those wondering whether or not to get a 3DS for this game there is now also a large amount of great games available that may interest you. Skelter already gave the list. I'd reccomend Fire Emblem Awakening personally, IMO that game is worth getting a 3DS for itself. If you couldn't give a Ratata's ass about the 3D functionality or the ability to fold the system you could even get the cheap Nintendo 2DS for about £130, if you really want to conserve money. Finally if you lacked a DS beforehand you have a massive library of mostly cheap games available due to the 3DS's backwards compatibility.
