[spoiler]

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.

  2. Reviewers and Leakers have the games for over a week and tell us there is no post game, Serebii has it for 2 days and finds a bunch of stuff to do. That’s why I love Serebii’s coverage. No one else does it that thoroughly.

  7. Say listen to this Serebii said: Found a new Mega Stone. Won’t say what it is yet, but the Pokémon I’m
    hunting for is just not appearing. Have found the roaming legendary in
    this route twice while looking for it.

  12. Seems like shiny encounter rate is actually higher, especially since many of these players encountered one without progressing too far into the game.

    What do you the shiny encounter rate for XY is?

    I am going 1/1000.

  14. I’m hoping for a Mega Shiftry, Ludicolo, Milotic, Clefable, Blissey, Roserade, Dusknoir, Golem, Vileplume, Bellossom and.. HYDREIGON. xD

  15. So, how many more mega evolutions do we think we’re getting? So far, we’ve got 9 from Gen 1(11 if you count the X and Y forms of Charizard and Mewtwo), 2 from Gen 2, 7 from Gen 3 and 2 from gen 4. I’m thinking we’re going to see a few more from Gen 2 and 4, and there’s gotta be at least a couple from Gen 5.

    • PLEASEE!!! but to be honest i don’t know how it could get much better. Serene grace is a great ability and it will probably be retyped fairy anyways, so what more? so stat increases could be nice, but would that make up for leftover or sitrus berry healing?

  22. Could somebody please explain to me how the Vivillion patterns work? I’m from europe and my Spewpa evolved into a brown/orange vivillion called the continental form. Help!?

    Reply

  23. Okay so prior to what we originally thought..Eevee does NOT have to have MAX affection in Pokemon Amie to evolve into Sylveon. Mines just evolved with 3/5 hearts of Affection.
