PR Video

You are able to film a 10 second PR video in Lumiose City. You can edit each second individually with the following options:

  • Background
  • Poses
  • Facial Expressions (eyes and mouth)
  • Music
  • Sound Effects
  • Pokémon (put one of your party members in it)
  • Effects
  • Camera Angle
  • Text
  • Reset

You may also put make up on your characters, this includes the facial hair, but unfortunately facial hair cannot be worn outside of the PR studio. You also get a lens case here so you can change your eye colour in any changing room.

Berry Farm

  • Plant and water berries like previous games.
  • Put 3 berries in the compactor to make a mulch. This will help the planted berries grow.
  • Mulch will have a different effect depending on what berries are used.
  • The berry trees will wither and die eventually, so make sure you pick the berries when they’re ripe!
  • Weeds can grow where berries are planted, so make sure you pull them out.
  • Pokémon may be attracted to the berries, so defeat them when they appear!

Critical Capture returns. When the ball shakes in the air you will have one.

  5. Alright, so I just gotta know, is anyone else trying to play their older games in prep for X and Y? Because I’m blowing through White 2 like a burrito through my poor little colon…

    Reply

      • Haha, that’s exactly where I was when I said “Fuck this shit, I don’t need Regice and Latias that bad!”…then I traded over my other pokemon, and just started blowing through with their higher levels…I’m trading both white2 and platinum at gamestop tomorrow for a 50 bonus, which is sooooo paying for X and Y, so I gotta get those two tonight.

    • This game is very long. The longest Pokemon game ever in fact. I’m glad, it will keep me busy for a longer time. It also makes us appreciate the graphics more.

  19. Has anyone noticed that Vivillon has 3 dots on each eye AND it is #666 in the Pokedex? See, Gamefreak knows what they’re doing. .-.

  22. Currently EV training a Modest Litwick I bred with a Ditto and Chandelure. First time I take EV training seriously, I even gave Litwick a Power Lens, and I’m training at Celestial Tower. 🙂

      • How do I check that? Sorry, like I said, it’s the first time I take EV training seriously, so I don’t know everything about it.

        • Go to the subway terminal, there is an Ace Trainer who will tell you what the best IV of that Pokemon is. If there are any at the same level, he’ll tell you that, and he’ll also tell you if it is average, above average, superior, or outstanding, which generally tells you how many points you have added up. I’m sure there are some other ways to tell, but if you are just going in game, that’s a good starting spot.

          Reply

          • My Litwick is lv. 19 and he said “This Pokemon has relatively superior potential overall” he also said its best potential lies in its HP “It can’t be better in that regard”

          • Hrm. Well, having perfect IV’s in HP is good, and it’s stats are probably mostly high, but breeding to get perfect IVs in Special attack would be good. Do you know the best ways to move stats down, or maintain a nature you want when breeding?

          • Well, don’t I need specific berries to reduce a stat? And I would have to have Ditto hold an Everstone.

          • You only use Berries when EV training, they have nothing to do with IV Breeding. And I guess the Ditto has a Modest Nature? So yeah, having everstone on it works. But to pass down stats, you need the power items. You have power lens, so you have that one, but for this particularly Pokemon, you wouldn’t want it on Litwick for breeding, because it would pass down whatever that special stat is, and it’s not 31, and it would never be 31. Putting the Power Weight, or whichever item gives EVs to HP, would be good to put on Litwick, as it will always pass down HP, which is at 31. This also gives you a measuring stick, because if you get anything else with 31, it will be mentioned in the same breath as the HP. I also use the little symbol markers on Pokemon to keep track of maximum IVs as well.

          • I (sort of) understand what you said, but I’m not trying to increase my Litwick’s HP, I want Sp. Attack. And I actually had to breed quite a few Litwicks to get a Modest one, so I didn’t use an Everstone. Since the Litwick hatched, all that it has battled was Litwick, with the help of my lv. 100 Chandelure obviously.

          • Yes I know, but having 31 IV’s in your HP is only going to help you. What that does though is it always will give you that stat for the purposes to inheriting stats, so that is one less stat you have to worry about. But my point is, you don’t ave 31 IV in Special Attack, so this process is to keep what you do have 31 IV in as you try to breed for 31 IVs in other stats.

        • There’s a gut on Battle Subway (an Ace Trainer I guess) that tells you which os your pokémon’s stats is the highest, he’ll say that “it can’t be better” (or something like that) if it has perfect 31 IV’s (the highest), you can also go in a battle and set the Litcwick’s level to 50 and use an IV calculator,
