Other people’s Pokémon visit your amie home and can give you gifts.

You unlock Poképuffs and furniture for your amie home by playing the mini games and interacting with your Pokémon.

Make facial expressions and the Pokémon might notice!

Your other party Pokémon join in with the mini games too.

    • I’m wondering the same about Game Stop…though at least it helps for the party to stay on the weekend so that’s good i guess. Pokemon, friends and tacos, what more could you want?

      Reply
  1. Well damn! Pixilate (haha pixie) will work great for some of the fairies that have normal moves (ie the ones that got switched over from Normal to Fairy)

    Reply
  2. For now, I only have a few things to say:
    1) OH MY GOSH I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU SAMUEL!!
    2) Congrats on getting the game before the majority of us! 🙂
    3) Thanks for putting up the spoiler tags, really appreciate that
    4) YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!! 😀

  3. I’d just like to say, thanks everyone for making the build up to this game a load of fun. From pun wars to tears of joy over seeing new things, it has been great to discuss things with you all about the new games. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy soon and share it with you all. Now let’s all enjoy the games for ourselves!

    Reply
  4. Hopefully if the games are coming out then maybe some people have their hands on the players guides too. We might be getting a lot of information all at once pretty soon.

    Reply
  5. I’m so excited, I’m rushing to the store when they open to get my copy of X.
    I’m pretty sure I want X now, I keep switching, I’ve heard a rumor about the story of Y being alot more dark then the story of X.. I love the story of these games alot.. that it makes me switch constantly..

    Reply
  6. A couple quick questions:
    1. Is the Ability Capsule a held item? It seems a bit odd…
    2. The same goes for the Exp Share. I thought it was a Key Item.
    3. How did you find out about the Friend Safari so soon- did you fly through the game?
    4. What Pokemon has the ability Proteon? That sounds interesting, but confusing.
    5. Where are the Inverse Battles?

  7. I checked al of the gamestores in Alkmaar (Holland), nowhere.. or they couldn’t yet sell them to me.. AAAAHHHHWWWW, frustrating.

    Reply
    • I’ve checked every GameStop and big retail store in Amsterdam yesterday, lol. Two more.. long.. days.. for everyone in The Netherlands. 🙁

      Reply
        • I pre-ordered from amazon, they’re dispatching tomorrow. I’ll probably have X by tuesday! I don’t think it’s at mediamarkt yet

          Reply
        • Nice! Other Dutch people!! 😀
          I preorderd it at bol.com. Sometimes i get a game 1 day before the releasedate but i haven’t got a deliverymail yet. Maybe tomorrow! 🙂
          I have preorderd pokemon X. Which games are you getting?

          Reply
          • I cancelled my X at bol.com, because it said that they would send it on the 12th.. So, I saw no point in waiting when I could get it myself a lot earlier probably.

          • I don’t know about places outside the US, but I’ve heard that chains that don’t specialize in video games (like Walmart) and open early should have the game without risk of running out if you go early.

          • They say that the releasedate is 12-10-2013 but I preorderd other games in the past there and sometimes I got it 1 day earlier than the date they were saying. So i’m hoping!!

          • mm.. on my account it said dispatching from the 12th. I’m going to Turkey in the afternoon, so I have to have a copy by then, otherwise no pokemon for me unfortunately

          • Yeah I will get my copy myself so I;m not worried, but thats why I cancelled my order at bol.com ;). I pre order my copy of Y at mediamarkt

          • Haha me too! But I liked Xerneas better than Yveltal from the moment i saw both. Plus Charizard X and Mewtwo X are better in my opinion. 😀

  8. Hello fellow Pokejunglers, I decided on finally making an account as TheDutchOne (TDO). I’ve been a long time reader of articles and posts and guess what, I’m looking forward to playing pokémon x!

    Reply
  9. Huh, the Friend Safari lets you use your own Pokemon and you’re not restricted to Safari Balls… OH YEAH!!!

    Also, it sounds like our Friend Codes from that post will really come in handy. When I get my Friend Code (tonight or tomorrow), should I post it on the latest thread or should I post it back on the original one?

    Reply
  10. BTW, is somebody gettin’ the 2ds for Pokemon X and Y? Or just using their 3ds/XL? I might be getting a 2ds, because I’m one of the few people who thinks it’s design is actually pretty cool XD

    Reply
  11. Serebii – “Oh my… the Mewtwo battle music is a remix of the classic one…”

    So for all you music enjoyers, you are gonna love that.

    Reply
  12. That’s some pretty cool information. This game is adding so many small tweaks that I don’t know if I can keep up with them all! But it’s cool because a refreshing take on the series is exactly what it needed and I think what we all wanted.

    Reply
    • He awoke in a panic. Scrambling to find his phone so he could see if it was time, but he went away disappointed because 2 days were still remaining.

      Though others have already received this wonderful gift, he was not yet able to. Patience is the only thing keeping him going now. Patience and hope for a wonderful experience. As he gazes into the morning sun, he thinks of how beautiful it is, and how the small things in life are so easily overlooked. He breathes to speak, then utters,

      “WHERE IS MY POKEMON GIVE IT TO ME NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW”

      Reply
  13. Are you able to disclose where he got his copy from? I’d sure like to know where to order from next time around so I can get the games early like he did.

  14. Serebii – “Oh, was just asked about the VS. Seeker. You get given it as soon as you enter Kiloude City in the post-game”

    It’s back!

  15. I’ve just managed to catch a Ralts justy outside of Santalune City! But if someone could just tell me if there’s such a thing as Galladite that’d be great… I like Gardevoir and all, but that Gallade <3

    Reply
      • That’s what I’m hoping. I’m just thinking… If there’s a Gardevoirite, then surely they wouldn’t leave dear ol’ Gallade out. Right? 🙁

        Reply
        • “If there’s a Charizardite X and Y, then surely they wouldn’t leave dear ol’ Venusaur and Blastoise out. Right?”

          “If there’s a Blazikenite, then surely they wouldn’t leave dear ol’ Swampert and Sceptile out. Right?”

          I’m just sadly restating your sentence 🙁

          Reply
          • well considering that the stones used for venusaur and blastoise don’t have x or y at the end of their names, unlike charizardite x and y, it’s safe to assume they won’t be getting any forms. They could just patch the game later to change the names though so idk.

  16. I also received my copy of Y yesterday, great game so far! I’m about 10 hours in now but just to let everybody know… there is a lot to look forward too! The first hour was amazing! I have been playing since Red and to me in some ways it feels like a completely new game! 🙂

    Reply
    • I completely agree! It feels like a totally new game entirely – but still has that beautiful feel of Pokémon. The graphics are fluid and it is actually a pleasure to get into a wild battle! 😛

      Reply
    • Seems like Kalos is similar to the Hoenn anime. 3 other companions instead of two. and each of the starters goes to a protagonist: Ash – Froakie Serena – Fennekin Bonnie/Clemont – Chespin

      Reply
      • Yep, i hope the anime is good this time. I had such high hopes for BW, but it didn’t turn out to be that great.
        Here’s hoping they do it right this time. It needs the pacing of Hoenn with the character development of Sinnoh.

        Reply
    • That looks truely amazing.
      It reminds me so much of the old animation style before the Sinnoh Saga and everything from the opening sequences to just the portrayal of each character and everything reminds me of the “old anime”. I’m happy with the changes :]

      Reply
  17. Can someone tell me about these new weather things I have heard about, Electric Field and Misty Field and Grass Field or something?

    Reply
  18. I just saw this on Serebii.net “14:05: Legendary wise, the legendary birds of Kanto roam around Kalos, but seemingly flee before the menu even loads up. Will investigate further. …”
    I know what that means… Mega Gengar to the rescue!

    Reply
    • That wouldn’t even help you, they are fleeing before the menu even loads, so you wouldn’t have a chance to go Mega. Maybe if you throw out a Wobbuffet they can’t flee, but that seems like they are always going to flee for some reason, at least until you do something.

      Reply
  19. So, this was probably stated, but I just woke up and Xerneas has two forms- the one we know of and a diluted version. Info on serebii

    Reply
  20. Ok.. I gave in.. are those ALL the areas/locations in X and Y? And are those the only new moves and items? I have a feeling this list isn’t done yet.

    Reply
  21. For those who have X (or Y) already..
    What do you do in the post game???? I wanna know SO badly. Also is the game short or long?

    Reply
    • You can do alot! there are battle towers you can challenge and amazing prizes you can win!, The friend safari is an interesting feature. You can catch Mewtwo and the birds and zygarde, and I have seen so many places that are just empty… I would assume event of some sort I will have to look into it more. But there is a lot to do so no worries there!

      Reply
      • sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!! That sounds awesome. Hopefully the post game will be just as fun as the main game. How long was the game? Because from the look at the spoilers in this articvle is seems pretty short.. since you played it could you tell me?

        Reply
        • The game spans from the minimum of about 10 hours to around 36 hours if you want to find every pokemon and such in the wild. The post game I would rate as the 3rd longest post game. although it may seem like so little to do there is actually a lot more to it. I am thinking with all these hints they are going to add Downloadable content to the game ^-^

  25. I just realized that each gen has a Pokemon that relates to either a theme or a mechanic. Correct me if I am wrong.
    Gen 1 – The theme I believe is DNA, yes? Ditto has the ability to alter its cellular structure to become anything it sees .
    Gen 2 – A mechanic introduced was the ability to breed. Smeargle can learn almost every move thanks to Sketch. If a Pokemon is in the field group for breeding, then selecting moves for a male Smeargle to learn is a breeze.
    Gen 3 – The obvious theme was weather, and who’s type and former signature changes in weather? Castform.
    Gen 4 – A mechanic introduced was different forms for the same Pokemon. Rotom shows this off very well.
    Gen 5 – I’ll get back to this. 😛
    Gen 6 – So far, with character customization, Furfrou has customization as well.

    I’ll be back after class.

  27. Just because people were asking earlier on. The earliest place you can find Pancham is Route 5 (in between Lumiose City and Camphrier Town) 🙂 I just caught one. 🙂

    • Btw if you want a honedge it is found outside of parfume palace :3 in the tall grass I caught one a while ago and IT IS AMAZING

      Reply
          • Is it a Dusk Stone that you need to use to get Aegislash?! Awesome. I saw that you can buy stones in Lumiose City, but I could only buy a Fire Stone, Leaf Stone and Water Stone. Do more stones become available later on?

          • No you find a dusk stone some time in the near future before the 6th gym or so… I can’t really remember where I found it but that is how it evolves… (my brother evolved it for me and told me this so I am just going off what he said ^-^)

  28. WOW! I thought Gorugeist was cool but it having 4 different forms and a super size one has left me speechless! And then we have like 9 and possibly more Vivillion formes. I like the variety you get with so many Kalos Pokemon. #Beauty.
    The new items reported by Serebii are unreal and great for strategy.
    Weakeness policy is something I think that will be used quite a lot.
    Inverse battles! =]

    Reply
    • That might take some time to get together…I too am waiting to see which Pokemon are available where. But i’m sure sites like Pokejungle, Serebii and Smogon are working on things like that along with movepools and stats…

  29. Isn’t it so awesome how Moltres flees right away as soon as the battle begins.
    It adds more mystery and it truely feels like a legendary BURD! =]

      Oh well. There’s always more potential Mega-evo’s!

  31. Guys Vivillion has a move that prevents fire types from using fire type moves called Powder. It explodes and causes damage if they try ^-^

    Reply
  32. So, here’s my tale of woe…

    A friend of mine from work has been listening to me banging on about X/Y for months now, and as he used to play the games back in the day and is now quite interested in the competitive aspects of the game, he decided to buy a 3DS and get the game. There was another guy at work who was selling his old 3DS so he could buy one of the limited edition ones, so yesterday, he bought it from him.

    Today, he texts me. “Don’t be angry with me.”
    “…Why?”
    “I might have Pokémon”

    A local shop has already got it on sale, and the evil git has gone and bought a copy before me. I’m waiting for the eShop release (already put the credit on my account), so after months of anticipation, the guy who was convinced to buy it by my excitement has managed to play the damn thing before me. I am somewhat displeased by this turn of events…

    Reply
  33. So according to serebii.net pokedex, there is no metagross line in the games, thats bullshit, why would gamefreak excludes metagross????! Whyyyyyy????

    Reply
  34. Does the game create extra data on the system’s SD card and if so how much and for what reason. And does playing the game on more than one system have any negative effects. (Ex. In previous games playing on a different system than the one originally played on caused all time-based events not to work for the rest of the day, and you could only use Wi-Fi with the original system you first used Wi-Fi with unless you reset your Wi-Fi info, FC, etc.)

    Reply
    • I really need to know this ASAP. I plan on getting the game at Nintendo World’s midnight release, but my XL is still stuck being fixed by Nintendo and may not get back to me in time, so I want to know if there will be any risks or guaranteed issues with starting on a different system and then continuing on my XL once it’s back from repairs.

      Reply
  35. I do have a question actually…a story question…mainly due to the rumors spreading across 4chan claiming that reviewers said the game’s story is light and funny in X while leakers were like ‘holy mother of god this is dark and evil’ in Y.

    I doubt reviewers immensely considering IGN claimed that Megas don’t have stat changes but I’m really hoping X doesn’t have a stupid story and Y does. Changes due to what Legendary you have are okay but to change the whole plot? I hope not, because Team Flare is the greatest team yet.

    (Note I stopped going on 4chan for a while now so Iunno if this was already debunked)

    Also how do you get different colors for Vivillon? And does it learn Fly? Again, I saw rumors spreading around for it but missed out on any proof.

  38. Do the opponents in the game ever use mega evolutions? Also, just curious if there have been any new additions to the mega evo list since Gardevoir/Gyarados/Abomasnow.

  39. Random question, Is anyone else planning to ‘limit’ themselves to make the game a harder experience? I’m not sure what rules to set myself but I definitely want the game to be harder as the more challenging the better for me! XD Anyone got any good rules they’re going to use?

    Reply
    • Nah, I wanna plough through and get to the post game as fast as possible. If you’re looking for more challenge though, word is that turning off the EXP Share is the simplest way to get it…

      Reply
    • I plan on not using duplicate types. I don’t think it makes the game harder, but it makes it difficult for me to decide which Pokémon I want to use.

      Reply
    • Since the gym leaders will once again be limited to 3 Pokemon (Unfortunately), I will only use 3 Pokemon in my battles against them -_-

      Reply
    • I’m restricting myself to Dark Pokemon, which will make the battles especially with the Fairy Type Pokemon a bit dicey for me. I’m also going to put Battles on Set, so I have to waste a turn to switch out.

      Reply
    • I’d recommend you stay away from the EXP all and don’t over do it with items/levelling. Just play at a decent pace and you’ll feel the challenge of Kalos!

    • In all my runs I always match each Trainer in # of Pokemon used (2 on 2, 5 on 5) and I don’t use Revives in the E4 or Gyms.

      For my second game (Y), I’ll catch only one Pokemon in each area and it has to be the first one I find. It’s like a semi-nuzlocke challenge, but without the permadeath.

  43. is the game being released at exactly the same time or will it just be when the time-zone you are in turns 12/10/13? a lot of people are saying the game comes out tomorrow, but here in the UK, we still have Friday and then Saturday morning, could somebody clarify this for me?

    Reply
    • It will be released the same DAY, not time. So when it turns midnight on Saturday, you’ll be able to buy it. However, in America it’ll still be Friday, so they’ll have to wait a few hours until it’s midnight for them.

      Reply
  44. So, Vivillion formes…they are not based entirely by country.

    A player from Ohio found a modern pattern.

    A player from Virginia found a garden pattern.

    I wonder if the patterns change when we travel state to state?

    There is an asterisk however that says that this is unconfirmed. To me it makes sense since the US is so large and diverse in whether in different regions as opposed to other nations.

    • At the beginning of the post it is stated that a portion of the information is gathered from Serebii so details like this will be pretty much the same. Until everyone has more time with the game, every detail won’t be ironed out for a while.

      Reply
      • He’s still deliberately wrong by people who have already completed the game. I don’t mind that he’s slowly gathering information but spreading incorrect information is bad. I trust PokeJungle to actually do their homework.

        Reply
        • It’s not deliberate, it’s accidental. He, just like everyone else, has been playing and posting as fast as he can. Accidents happen. He’s been going at it for about 6 hours and has already given a lot of helpful info. You can’t write someone off because of one slip up. Especially with this amount of info being passed around.

        • It’s not deliberate, its accidental. Serebii has been playing and posting for about 6 hours straight. There is bound to be slip ups with this much data being passed around.

          • He’s been playing for over a week, and he’s been compiling all this data long before his coverage started.

          • Whether its been a week or a day. Accidents still happen. All it takes is for someone to inform him then it gets fix. The game hasn’t been 100% yet and with that all information is still being worked on.

        • Its not deliberate, its accidental. Serebii has been working hard to get the info that is presented now. Slip ups such as exlcusives are bound to happen with this much data being passed around.

          • Do we know that for sure? Serebii is acting like he knows all this information but he’s been wrong on numerous occasions. Like he said the megas above don’t lose their typing (when Aggron is now pure steel) that the VS seeker is back (but it’s just the VS Recorder) and about version exclusives despite leakers found those Pokemon in both versions. :/

            I really hope there are multiple ways of obtaining the same stones anyway. One per playthrough is dumb.

    • The designs are impressive as always.
      Tyranitar looks amazing but I think Aggron does too.
      I think they make great counter-parts/version exclusives.
      Though I can imagine people wanting both in one game!

  49. Protean is a much better ability for Kecleon than Color Change, I hope it gets a mega evolution like Tyranitar where it doesn’t change its ability

  50. To all game owners:
    Can you please post quick reviews of the games? Where and how are the 3D effects like, new features, what you like and don’t like, small things that make all that better and of course no spoilers

  51. So my Y version still hadn’t dispatched on Amazon, so I went on online chat to cyber-shout at them for being fucking useless. And also ask where the hell it was. Turns out due to some mix up (they thought I’d changed my payment method, I hadn’t, turns out it was a different customer and order entirely!!!) I probably won’t get Y on the Saturday now, meaning I’ll have to wait till Monday. Or maybe Tuesday.

    Did a grown 25 year old woman just burst into tears because she won’t get a pokemon game on time? A little bit, yeah. I NEEDS A HUG U GUYZ 🙁

    PS. totally ordering from ShopTo in future, I’ve had it with Amazon and their BS

    • THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME !!! well there wasn’t a mix up but basically they emailed me to tell me i’ll get it earliest tuesday. I’m getting a tracking number, so if we’re desperate we could always go to the post office and ask for it. But i’m having a mini high school reunion with friends so hopefully they will keep me busy for the weekend.

  54. Back in January I saw that a lot of people disliked Chespin and would much rather have Fennekin as their starter. Guess the tables have turned? I actually fell in love with Chespin the moment I saw it but when I saw Delphox, I just couldn’t decide anymore. Greninja is coooooool tho hahaha
