  6. The one thing I’m going to grind the hell out of X for is that key item that costs 200BP, which allow you to permanently change a pokemon ability to a secondary one. (i.e. flash fire Arcanine to intimidate arcanine). If this works for dream world abilities, I will love game freak forever…..

  7. So there’s what? 5-6 Vivillon patterns revealed so far?

    Then there’s that awkward moment when you realize it’ll be double the color patterns because of Shiny versions. xD

  10. Anyone care to rate X/Y based on what they already know, and maybe do a pros/cons for me? 😀
    Just wanna see the various opinions amongst the community. 😀

        • Reason being that I’m not fully satisfied with what post game content there is. I hope there is more.

          Another reason is that I’ve had my copy of X and Y since October 1st, yet I’m not allowed to play them till the 12th because of GAME’s policy on employees playing before release dates. xD

    • based on what I’ve seen (which is mostly everything) this will be the best Pokemon game yet, but as far as actual Pokemon goes (not the games, the Pokemon introduced in each respective gen) its like this (in my opinion)
      3>6>5>4>2>1

      Reply

        • well at least you acknowledge that Gen 1 had the worst pokemon, I think me liking Gen 3 so much might be a cause of Emerald being my first Pokemon game, but I think I genuinely like the pokemon of Gen 3 regardless of nostalgia

          Reply

          • Based on Pokemon:
            3 > 5 > 6 > 4 > 2 > 1
            Based on the actual gens as a whole:
            3 > 6 > 4 > 5 > 1 > 2

            RSE were my first games too, so I have a natural bias towards them, I just really love those games. For me BW had an amazing dex, it’s just the games themselves were a bit rubbish. Kalos is definitely my second favourite gen and has a lot of great Pokemon too. I really enjoyed a lot of Gen 4’s designs, but for me it was Platinum and HeartGold as games that really made gen 4 for me. I really like a lot of Johto designs but Gen 2 was the worst imo, and Kanto is just not that great personally so it’s near the bottom.

    • Here is mine (THUS FAR):
      8/10- B+
      Cons:
      – Difficulty level
      – Lack of new Pokemon
      – Lack of a good amount of Mega Evolutions
      – Lack of Legendaries (NEW)
      Things I don’t give a fuck about:
      – No Dark gym
      – No good 3D
      – No 3D trainer battle sprites
      Pros:
      Practically everything!

    • Are we ready for a new adventure!!??
      Here’s my authentic review. I’ve never played the game before LOL

      Pro’s

      – Outstanding graphics from amazingly realistic life-like battles to a beautiful over world in Kalos. The games have never looked so beautiful and detailed as before and GF have truely outdone themselves here. Just imagine commanding your Arcanine or your Dragonite in XY. It’s never felt better.

      – Best Pokemon designs since Pokemon was made.
      Hands down the most creative and well though out designs. Hardly any of them have recieved hate and that says a lot.
      The 3 starters are so cute and they evolve in to the most amazingly designed evolved starters ever with rare typing combinations too!
      Xerneas, Yveltal and co are by far the best legendaries in a long time. And then another 50 or so amazing Pokemon with the new Fairy types, it’s going to be a blast.
      – The little things like Character Customisation, riding Pokemon like Lapras/Mamoswine is a dream come true, the many different forms of Vivillion, being able to catch over 450 Pokemon gives so much unbelievable variety it feels like the anime and stuff like Horde Battles and Sky battles..SO MUCH it’s driving me insane!

      – Mega Evolution was make or break and Gamefreak not only just made it they polished it all the way to the top. Being able to use one of your favourite classic mons and transform it into a new found powerhouse that’s not a new forme nor a 4th stage evolution. WOW just WOW!
      The designs of them are subtle and the concept has recieved praise. They took a risk and won over there fans – new and old.
      – A new adventure that focuses on the basics like battling and catching Pokemon. There’s just so much to do.

      Con’s
      – Sequels aren’t coming out sooner enough.
      – Post game may be lacking but I have faith that we haven’t seen the games true potential yet.

      Verdict.

      – 100..out of…Sorry!….the scale was broken!!!
      …….this game was a great catch! Pun intended lol

  12. I’ve talked about using a pure Dark team for awhile now, or rather, the stipulation is, things that can evolve into Dark Type Pokemon, and I can access said Dark Pokemon Evolution. But, due to the singular nature of that team, I plan on maybe not having one strict 6 Pokemon team, but a series of Dark Pokemon on Rotation, depending on the situation. Also, I’m kind of considering that, maybe for a Champion Run, I’ll have a more ‘balanced’ team, as due to all the talks recently of what gym leader you would be, or what your champion Pokemon would be, I would approach it somewhat similar. But getting into it.

    Pokemon Y Team

    Main Pokemon – Tyranitar. Yes, LATE addition, but I will get one. And see if I can do everything in my power to get a Tyranitite for the Elite 4 run. The other options for Main Pokemon for me are Hydreigon, still a massive favorite of mine, or Absol, whose mega form I should be able to get.

    Note, I don’t know what the name of the Tyranitar Mega Stone is. I’m just guesstimating.

    Main Rotation:
    Umbreon/Zoroark/Malamar/Sableye/Bisharp.

    Second Rotation, for HMs and some coverage Support:
    Crawdaunt/Sharpedo/Mega Gyarados in spots/Drapion/Honchkrow/Pangoro/Weavile/Krookodile.

    And then, for a Dark themed team, I mostly would want to stick to using Dark, Poison, and Ghost types, which complement each other fairly well, in addition to some other Pokemon that at least give something of a Darker appearance. Though, I’d also be tempted to have random Fairy/Flying Togekiss too, rather like those. But anyways.

    Dark Theme:
    Gengar/Banette/Toxicroak/Noivern/Nidoking/Gothitelle*Yes, I like this Pokemon, especially thanks to Black 2/Seviper/Dragalge or however you spell it, and Scolipede.

    Those are the Pokemon I’m thinking I’ll use. Though, much like Gyarados, I am kind of keeping an eye out for anything else that might Mega Evolve into something half Dark, as that may have a spot on my team as a result, but we’ll see. After I get Tyranitite, though, I don’t see how they could stay on there.

  15. OFF TOPIC:

    I look forward to commenting on an X an Y anime article once it’s posted. I imagine at least 2/3 of the comments to be related to shipping. All the ships shall engage in the most delightful war of all time!

  17. Gone are the days of me saying that I’m trying to decide whether my favorite 3DS game is Kid Icarus or Fire Emblem. Soon, they will make way for a new king, the greatest of king of all, the lord of all games, the dragon master, the beast tamer, the sorcerer, the majestic Goomy… uh, Pokemon X.

    In all seriousness, I know we’re a biased site, but do you think that XY will become your favorite 3DS game when it comes out? If so, what’s your second favorite, and if not, what do you think your favorite will be?

    I’m incredibly biased and will put Pokemon games above everything… until Smash Bros comes out possibly… but my close second will be Fire Emblem Awakening (sorry Pit 🙁 ).

    Also, another question to the community, after having seen all the Kalos Pokemon, which one would you want to be in Smash Bros? KALOS POKEMON ONLY!

    • Up till now FE:A was at my top….I think X and Y might surpass it…but slightly xD. Hmm…I haven’t seen many spoilers so I don’t have many kalos pokemon to choose from outside of starter evos and the ones revealed…but if Mega Blaziken counts I prefer him.

      Reply

    • I’d want a Kalos Trainer for Smash Bros if the current Pokemon Trainer gets cut (I hope not- he’s my main!). He’d use Chespin, Braixen, and Greninja (that’s probably the thing that could make me like Greninja).
      If that’s a cop-out answer, Sylveon would be pretty cool, and it would be the Generational mascot like Lucario and Zoroark were.

  18. Does my team have any flaws? I feel it covers most if not all

    Main:
    Dedenne
    Vivillon (female)
    Froakie
    Pyroar (male)
    Chesnaught
    Meowstic (female)

    Rotate:
    Clawitzer
    Tyrantrum
    Trevenant
    Bergmite

    I know froakie and bergmite are not fully evolved but I have others to switch in

    Reply

  19. I hope I find a shiny Froakie, Bulbasaur, Noivern, Honedge, Amaura or Ralts, because I would most certainly use it on my team!

    Reply

  22. Her’s my two teams for each game. Can anyone tell me the flaws?
    Pokemon X:

    Greninja
    Noivern
    Heliolisk
    Sylveon
    Malamar
    Pyroar

    Pokemon Y:
    Chesnaught
    Dragalgae
    Goodra
    Talonflame
    Dedenne
    Florges

    • Huh, too bad its stats don’t look too great- I’d rather it have been a Physical version of Helioptile (120 Atk, 120 Speed, Awful other stats), but I guess that this was expected.

      Its ability is a bit strange, but I’ll take it anyway. He’s still an awesome looking Pokemon. Anyone know if it just evolved at Lv 36 or was it really a Fire Stone?

      Reply

    • What if male and female Pyroar are like Mewostic?Females have Special offense and Physical defense, and males have Physical offense and special defense?

      But personally, i think that the female should be faster, and the male should be bulkier. don’t know why, but i feel gender differences, especially ones like these, should have always affected stats.
