Story
- The Laverre City Gym is run by Leader Valerie, who specialises in Fairy Type Pokémon, she awards you the Fairy Badge and TM99 Dazzling Gleam. She uses the following Pokémon
- Mawile Lv.38
- Mr. Mime Lv.39
- Sylveon Lv.42
- After defeating the Gym your friends tell you to meet them in the Poké Ball Factory to the north, Shauna and Trevor are then chased away by the Team Flare Grunt who was previously blocking the gates to the factory
- When you enter the factory Team Flare are occupying it, Serena says she will take care of the first Grunt and you should head further into the factory, where more Grunts are waiting to challenge and dispose of you. NOTE: The Poké Ball Factory features 3D
- A woman in a small room on the top left of the walk way will heal your Pokémon for you. You must reverse the direction of the conveyor belt so you can access a room in the top left of the walkway. When you access the room Team Flare Admin and Scientists are found harassing the President of the Poké Ball Company
- First Team Flare Admin challenges you to a battle, followed by a double battle with you and Serena VS Team Flare and Celosia and Bryony. When you defeat them the President will award you with a Master Ball and a Big Nugget. Before you leave the factory your friend appear again and tell you that Dendemille Town is the next place you should visit. Finally, as you exit the factory a Holo Clip is received with an emergency announcement that the Poké Ball Factory has been attacked
- As you progress along Route 15, you will eventually receive a Holo Clip from Lysandre, who poses several questions about the theories behind Mega Evolution. Even further along the route the player can explore the Lost Hotel
- When you enter Dendemille Town Professor Sycamore and Dexio appear and begin talking about Xerneas or Yveltal and then leave. Trevor then appears hoping to have caught Sycamore, but then travels to the Frost Cavern in search of Pokémon
- Next the player heads north to the Frost Cavern, where they encounter a Mamoswine that seems to sense something is amiss in the Cavern
[/spoiler]
Dae’s notes:
[spoiler]
- The hairstylist in Lumiose only has three (male) options the first time you visit. Very Short, Short and Medium. If you get around ten haircuts, she’ll comment how fabulous you are consequent times you visit and you’ll unlock a new hairstyle: Medium Perm. There are bound to be more haircuts, but they are kinda hard to find. I experimented a bit and will let you know when I found out more.
- Not sure if we mentioned it already but there must be a coupon for shopping clothes somewhere. Some people mention it but I have no idea where to get it. The plot thickens…

Is it bad if I care more about what my trainer looks like in X than what I’m gonna wear tomorrow?
Not at all it’s Pokemon! YOLO
Nah, I have to get a haircut this weekend and my first thought was “oh wait I can’t customize my hair that much yet I have to wait” o_O
LOL! XD
It would be MUCH MUCH worse if you didn’t care! The world gets to see what you look like in the game…. not as many people get to see you in real life. My reasoning = logic 😀
Your logic is flawless. I love it! Although there are about 3,000 people at my high school so… It might be about even in terms of how many people see me per day! 😛
Shhhhh…. dont mess with the logic 😀
The 3D at the (SPOILERS) Pokemon League is great. The Fire Trainer’s room looks fantastic with all of the particles.
The Ending <3 God this game was a Masterpiece! Loved every minute so far but still loads more to do……let the competitive battling begin!
Everyone seems to love the ending which only makes me want to experience even more! A badge and Victory Road left!
When you hear the Pokemon League theme, everything will seem epic.
From what I have seen so far, everything IS epic 😀
Go for it! 😀 Im currently enjoying the beautiful end credits… shows just how much effort and detail has gone into the games!
It really does, this means the next games are going to be even better!
I just can’t imagine potentially seeing Hoenn (my favourite region) redone in this style…it would just be too epic!
It’s my favorite region too! It’s at a REALLY close tie with Kalos.
I’m in the middle of the Elite 4. I would ask for a battle when I’m done, but since you’ve Super Trained I would probably get killed.
Of course we should battle! I would definitely suggest Super Training not just to battle me but so you are more even against everyone else too! Competitive battling is sooo much fun 😀
Remember how in D/P/Pt you could walk with your Pokemon in Amity Square? I think that was to test out how it could handle walking with Pokemon. In HG/SS they fully implemented it. Since in X & Y some places in the overworld are in 3D like Glittering Cave and the Power Plant, could it be they are testing out a 3D overworld to see how it works out?
If they fixed some framerate problems then it’ll be fine. And yes, I know the 3D effect lowers frames, just not as bad as X and Y’s.
SM3DL did it fine, I think Pokemon could too. The over world doesn’t lose any frames in 3D (or maybe I just haven’t noticed).
The battles, even without the 3D effect, sometimes had low frames. I think it’s everything that is going on is the problem, not the 3D. And they do have some more space in the 3DS’s capabilities to fix that. I’m hoping for Z, not sequels since Zygarde really looks complete.
I turn the 3D on and it starts lagging so I just turn it off. I noticed very few times that frames drop when off 3D. They should be able to fix this by the time the next games are out.
I hope so. The 3DS is really powerful, and would definitely be able to handle it. I hope Z and R/S/E remakes or sequels come to test it out, since they have perfect scenes for the 3D effect. 😀
The first cut scene in a Pokemon game in 3D, history in the making!
Rayquaza kickin Groudon and Kyorge’s asses would be glorious in 3D XD
I bet by the time we get a new set of games, like hopefully the RS remakes, we will get improved 3D and better features just like HG/SS.
This is their first game on the 3DS so they are getting used to the system. I’m sure there will be much better graphics as they get used to the 3DS. Maybe we will finally see that Space Shuttle launch in 3D? Maybe actually ride inside and go into outer space?
Get dat Deoxys
And have an updated version of this song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9_BRW5S0Ys
Yes please! Space Shuttle, make it happen GameFreak.
I love 0:43 – 0:57 ! In my opinion, best music goes to Hoenn with Kalos really close behind.
Hoenn music was simply fantastic! Can’t wait for remakes with better sounding trumpets.
This is a pretty cool Hoenn confirmed hint/joke: https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7849613824/h66200AF5/
Haha, a lot of Hoenn references have been made in this game! It’s pretty much confirmed at this point xD
Hrm. Just occurred to me, has anyone tried capturing all the Legendary Birds, as they seem to be determined by your starter what you can catch, and having all of them in your party, checking some of these mysterious caves? Because it wouldn’t be the first time catching the legends like this would unlock something special potentially.
Mega Birds? That’d be awesome. I’m hoping for Hoenn Starters Event Mega Stones. I don’t want Swampert’s hidden ability, though.
Guys, what is statically better?
Evoilite Doublade?
Or Aegislash?
Annnnd I know this has been asked many times before.
Also, where do YOU get Honedge?
I got it on the Route back from Parfum Palace (the place with all the tall grass).
According to Miniryu-Ninja you should stay with Eviolite Doublade.
Okay, thank you. And I discovered Honedge is on Route 6. 😀
Doublade has superior Defense and Attack, while Aegislash has Decent Attack, Special Attack, Defense, and Special Defense, with ok Speed, but not enough of a boost to matter. It really depends on your playstyle. I kept Doublade cause I liked using him as a physical tank.
I wasn’t sure yet. Thank you 🙂 I’ll probably be using Eviolite Doublade, but where do you get the Eviolite?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N13jqAMpRpY
Thaaaaank you
You’re welcome 😀
Doublade’s attack is not better than Aegislash Attack. It’s just the nature of it’s battle style, but Doublade does have a stronger defense at all times, but any time Aegislash attacks, it will have a better attack stat.
I didn’t mean superior to Aegislash. I just meant in it’s own stats. But with a Swords Dance Doublade is where Aegislash is. Not sure what to do honestly. I’m still debating on evolving it.
It really is weird because both are viable for completely different reasons. Honestly, I think there is a lot of potential for a mixed Pokemon too for Aegislash, as his Special attack is 150 as well, he could really wreck things in any way he’d want, and he almost certainly can learn Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon for at least two special moves.
I’m realizing how powerful the Fairy type can be. Gardevoir just destroyed this member of the Elite Four. Barely got a scratch.
Gardevoir has always been beast. I’m trying to imagine Granbull *shudders*
I’ll try one out eventually. Fairy typing will probably bring a lot of underrated Pokemon up to OU.
I love Xerneas’s and Yvetal’s themes! Soooo beautiful and fitting for both!

*SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T HEARD IT YET!*
Saving that for tomorrow 😉
It’s extended, so you’ll love it for longer periods of time. And you won’t be hearing it for very long for spoilrific reasons.
I’ll enjoy it whiles it lasts and then listen to the video 🙂
I just watched Pokemon origins and loved it too bad it was only a mini series
Japanese version, right?
Yer English subbed
Okay. Just making sure 😉
@Sable: I have your clauncher ready
@Sable
Okay, you wanted the tyrogue right?
yup, I have both male and female clauncher what do you prefer?
Doesn’t really matter, I have a Ditto, so I’ll just take the male. In game name is Evan, with a black hat.
anartya is mine
awesome thanks!
My game must hate me. There’s a ton of rain clouds but no rain
Try going to every route from the beginning of the game until you find one that’s raining.
I’ve already done that :/ My game hates me
It’s gonna be sunny all week 😀
Trololoololoololol XD
Awwww crap. Goodra is that much of a pain evolving? I hope it’s still worth is, since it is a Psuedo.
When I saw Goomy’s entry “….the weakest Dragon Pokémon….” I was like: >.> wut
Vibrava is weaker…
Tell that to the Pokémon Company XD
But… Goomy is love. Goomy is life. D:
What about waiting until tomorrow? Eventually it will rain 😛
Nope, Groudon caused a drought. Hoenn confirmed.
Kyogre caused a drizzle. Hoenn confirmed.
XD
Rayquaza said “Fuck you two, I have Air Lock.”
EMRALND CONFURMDEDEINN
Does anyone else think that X and Y’s Gym Leader Battle theme sounds better when you are battling a gym leader than just listening to it?
I think it sucks honestly. The intro is nice, but it never really gets going for me. No specific melody as in past themes.
It’s not epic, but I like the slow rhythm it’s different from usual gym leader themes.
Not a fan of it, but to each their own haha.
yeah different tastes xD
I feel like it’s epic. That quiet moment at the beginning gets me ready for battle! Then the pulsing rhythm keeps me going through it. I like it cause it’s different. A lot of the gym battle themes haven’t stood out to me recently.
I agree. This would have sounded much better- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b21cULmJhPo
That one sounds worse IMO
Well, that’s your opinion :p
As TCMets has said, each to their own. 🙂
Too slow, too mellow. I need something to get me pumped for a gym leader theme. Masuda was heading in the right direction with the intro, really gets you going…and then it just mellows out =/
I like the middle parts but I love this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eple8AkBZPg
That’s my favorite battle theme in any Pokemon game. I love when the main melody repeats at 0:36 and there’s a secondary tune in there if you listen closely. It’s an old 8-bit sound-like tune.
DEM SEXY ASS TRUMPETS
It has a certain spark in it that gives you an intense every present feeling. Too bad TrollFreak gave gym leader’s such small teams, otherwise it feel more badass. 🙁
I’ve voiced on here before my extreme displeasure with gym leaders being restricted to 3 Pokemon. Back in my day, the 6th gym leader had 5.
5 is a good number depending on the type. I prefer 4. Clair and Volkner being good examples.
I can live with 4, but certainly not 3. 3 is not a challenge. 3 is a terrible anime idea.
Exactly. 4 feels right. Then we should have gotten 5 for E4. Then 6 for champion. Perfect for progress, the stronger you get, the more pokes they get.
Exactly!!
I’m fine with some lack of difficulty. But 4 for the E4 is really stupid. You are already OP if you used the Exp. Share the entire game and battled EVERY trainer you could fight.
They shouldn’t be the “Elite” 4 with 4 Pokemon. It’s embarrassing.
It makes since with the four, but come on! They had five, perfectly fitting pokemon on their teams (except D/P) and where quite a threat. I was fine with B/W because you were mainly level 45ish, and training was your only option, but not in X and Y 🙁
And the fact that they don’t get stronger after beating them is even more of an embarrassment. They should be kicked out of the Kalos League.
I completely agree. I think the first 3 seconds put me in the mood xD
I am a Xatu, and I foresee myself finding a shiny here in the Victory Road while I am training. So expect some freaking out.
Do you see a route with rain in my very near future? 😀
Yes…it will be a marshy route…
>.> I’m there right now….
I digress XD
He meant Stan Marsh. Go watch some South Park then come back. BOOM there’s rain. XD
I didn’t, but you know what, I love making references I didn’t intend XD
I know you didn’t intend to make that reference.XD
…Okay, I’ll be going now. Not really 😀
Now that we are talking about music what do you guys feel about Team Flare music? I personally think it’s the best. My least favorite was Team Plasma from BW. BW2 was better.
I love the beginning a lot!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKd0i2t5ZbY
I also like 0:54 onwards.
That tune from :01-:04 is sooo good!
I really liked Team Plasma’s from B/W. I love the Kanto gym leader intro it had haha. Didn’t care much for B/W2’s remix. But agreed that Team Flare’s is the best. Followed by Team Magma/Aqua.
Agree with Aqua and Magma being 2nd best xD
I wish the little hallway-building things had the monitor like they did in BWB2W2, then I could find my rain :p
Oh, how I would love to find a shiny Lickitung here in Victory Road…*secretly begins hunt*
don’t you love it’s animation xD
Yep, it’s like “come at me bro, and I’ll slap you with my tongue!”
If it uses foresight on Wortortle, the magnifying glass goes to it *ahem* private areas. And with that animation…
LOL
How I would love to start my Victory Road journey….. waiting to get a Goodra :p
How many of you guys are playing with the Exp. All OFF?
Me! 😀
Not me… I big noob XD
Me.
I only use Exp All if my team is under level 30. I turn it off otherwise.
I have had it on, but might turn it off soon. Makes things too easy.
I’ve turned it off a few times to keep my team around the same level. Helped too. Ended up being around the same level as the Pokemon League.
Yeah, i did the same thing, I was actually basically equal levels with the Champion too, which was nice, and we just kept knocking out each other’s Pokemon. I also got to take Goodra on with my Hydreigon. Hydreigon won XD
I kept it on for a while, but it made the game way too easy. I turned it off and spent a bunch of time grinding on every route. Ended up having all of my Pokemon around 73 facing the Champion…
I haven’t heard it yet, but for those who have faced Team Flare’s boss, does he have a theme that is better than this masterpiece? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRsUBDLTrZ0
uhh….. kinda?
I have to agree THAT is a masterpiece considering that is was only on a GBA!!!
Simply amazing. Can you imagine how it’d sound on the 3DS?
Don’t tempt me with an RSE remake on 3DS….I can’t stop drooling
I can’t stop eja…. You know what, nevermind…
Kinda weird Mega for a Team “FLARE” Leader XD
It’s pretty epic. Stands out, but not really memorable I think. It fits the moment nicely though.
Yes finally got Trick Room TM….the fun begins now…..muhahaha xD
Hey guys. Anyone wanna watch the first two episodes of the new Pokémon XY anime? It’s not subbed, but the battles this season are pretty good. Oh, and Wobbuffet is OP. Enjoy!
I can’t wait to encounter this horde battle xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqx4ffYlIUA
Already have XD
That is freaking hilarious. Buncha drunken idiots xD
Holy crap that is tooo funny. Will forever wish to encounter one.
it kept the same animation as Colosseum/XD….me like
One male Spinda and 4 females. That Spinda’s getting a Lucky Chant tonight if ya know what I mean.
This is now my favorite video on the internet.
It looks like all the Spinda actually do have different spot patterns. Huh.
Hey guys can you suggest a 6th member of my team
-Greninja
-Charizard
-Kecleon
-Heliolisk
-Noivern
-???
Chesnaught.
Umbreon or Sylveon. 🙂
Trevenant
is this in X?
Yes 🙂
you could go for another physical attacker, with ground type or fighting. Krookodile, Heracross, or Lucario
Magikarp
With evolite aha
Sweep the elite 4!! 😛
ground type. maybe steelix that u can get in a trade with luvdisc
Anyone else really like the Seviper/Zangoose horde battles? I was laughing when they began fighting each other xD
OH MY GOSH I MUST ENCOUNTER ONE. AFTER I GET MY GOODRA.
and that lone Seviper/Zangoose has the hidden ability….-__-
Really? It’s not possible to get lol.
HOLY CRAP Zangoose has an amazing Hidden Ability. DAMN YOU SEVIPER!
wut is it?!?!
Toxic Boost. Increases attack by 50% when poisoned. Equip a toxic orb on there, protect one turn, and bam.
not always but it’s usually the odd one out that ends up with the hidden ability. For example, all male with one female, the female is likely to have the hidden ability
Thanks for the info!
I caught a nidoran female with a hidden ability in a horde of nidoran male.
So Nidoran female is in both X and Y. Time to backtrack and wait for a horde battle. Honey honey honey.
use sweet scent
Thanks! Found it right away when using Sweet Scent.
Oh yeah, that was hilarious!
Is there an O Power that causes rain or something?
Does anyone think when AZ was telling his story, this should have played?
