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…
[/spoiler]










Ok guys, so we all knew that in breeding ONLY if the male parent has an egg move, it will get passed down.
But in X and Y that changes, if EITHER parent has an egg move, it will get passed down. That means ANY pokemon can have EVERY possible egg move combination.
Example: Marill previously could not have aqua jet and belly drum, because no male parent can have both moves. But now you can get an aqua jet female marill from one parent and then breed that female marill with aqua jet with a different male parent with belly drum to finally get a Marill with Belly Drum and Aqua Jet.
Really? Wow. That REALLY changes up the gam enow, doesn’t it.
yeah I tested this myself it works.
When did you test it out? Before or after I just mentioned something was up with it XD
Oh I tested this yesterday. With a scraggy female having feint atttack and a male axew with dragon dance. My hatched scraggy lvl 1 knew leer low kick feint attack and dragon dance. Feint attack and dragon dance are egg moves.
I was Disqussed that Disqus was gone! :p
Anyway, a bit disappointed that I only found regular Xatu’s in ShinyXatu’s Safari. XD
Anyone else disappointed in the post-game?
I’m trying to get as many friends for friend safari as possible. I would love to be on as many peoples friends lists as possible!
My name is Evan and my FC is 4227-1963-1584
If anybody responds, I promise to add them Thanks!
EDIT: Make sure you add me first though, I won’t be able to play until after 9:00 EST since I got homework
Added you!
FC: 0645-6373-8564
Thanks!
You guys SURE you don’t want one? (refresh)
🙂
I took me 17 fennekin eggs to get a female…. you’re too late
the kalos starters sure take longer than kanto to get female i noticed.
it took 10 tries for chespin and 8 for charmander
I said I had one, but I traded it. You should’ve said it before I did. xD
Is it Modest though? :3 I’ll try to get a female Modest Fennekin if you don’t have one.
oh I have on e now it just took me a while
Alright, no prob! 😀
I want one
Do I have your FC?

Ok When I get back from school I’ll give you mine thanks.
Could someone give me Gengar’s new base stat estimates?
I think people have been claiming it’s base speed to be 105 now! I don’t know about the other stats.
Do you think he will stay in OU?
for sure but because of Gengarite
I was expecting Mega Gengar to be in the Ubers
Well if Bulletproof Chesnaught comes out, Gengar is completely walled.
The GTS community is horrible. All people ask for is starters and legendaries -___-
Pokebank needs to hurry up and release
Haven’t read any spoilers, as that sort of ruined Gen V for me, but I just wanted to say that I’ll be getting my copy of both X and Y this or next week, and I can’t wait to battle all of you online!
Awesome stay spoiler free! xD Trust me it’s worth it.
Is the story really as “strong” and “surrounding” as Black/White/2? I loved the way my character had a much bigger role than in the other games 😀
Oh I haven’t finished the game I’m at gym 4 xD. I’m taking my time. I’ haven’t gotten too muuch into the story yet but let’s say that if you were a story person you would be able easily to figure out the villain before the 2nd gym.
Cool! Some friends finished the game in like, 2 days! I bet they didn’t enjoy it as much as I will, since I always explore and look at everything before moving on
I’m having too much fun catching everything and breeding. xD
Stay spoiler free:)
Where are you getting your game?
I will! 😀
Oh, I pre-ordered Y on an online store here in Brazil, but apparently so many people did the same thing that it might take a while for mine to be delivered. So this monday I decided that I wouldn’t save up for Zelda, and bought X, too. Strangely, it might arrive before Y, because it won’t come with the Kalos Map in cloth like the Y preorder. 🙂
Oh, Diantha is the champion!
Oops, wrong place, meant to post somewhere else.
I hid your comment when I saw “is the champion”, so yeah, no Spoiler! 😀
LOL, I beat the (person I shall not name)!
Yeah! It was a great game!
I can’t wait! I’m on school atm, imagine how cool it would be to get home and see it on my bed, WAITING? Haha
Anyone know if the friend safari pokemon will be the same for everyone?
For instance, if I have three friends, when they each enter my safari, will they encounter the same 2 or 3 pokemon?
Anyone?
Can anyone trade me a Pokemon with Flame Body/Magma Armor? I’m too lazy to find one…
flectling has it
I don’t want to evolve it.. .-. Fine. xD
…… what do you mean?
I have a Fletchling, but I don’ want to evolve it. Doesn’t matter, I’m in the process of right now. 😛
I don’t thinkit happens when it evolves. its just an abillity
it gets flame body when it evolves
oh ok

Name?
i gotcha. but the name is Marquinch
Great! 😀

Mine Is 4227-1963-1584
My name is Evan
Thing is your going to have to add me first since i wont be using my 3ds until 9:00 EST
Ran into a Horde of Trevenant… O.o
In the winding forest? So did I!
Yes, but the lag is unbearable >.<
Yeah, that’s why I rarely even used the 3D
It’s the only real con I have of the game.
I’m not even using 3D and it still lags xD
Horde battles aren’t in 3d to begin with^^ I think it looks really good in normal fights and there is not that much lag imho.
I am still referring to lag though.
3D battles are very laggy also horde battles are also laggy.
Just because I love pokemon it doesn’t mean I can’t have some criticisms.
noones saying anything about criticism I just pointed out that turning off 3d in Horde battles is completely useless since they aren’t in 3d to begin with.
Again, I am referring to the game’s lag.
3d battles lag
horde battles lag
Just not at the same time.
I love 3D effect in 3DS games. But this game has TERIBBLE 3D effect. The lag is disgusting. Just turn it off….but sometimes it still lags.
A) what is so terrible about the 3d effect? I like it.
B) Horde battles aren’t in 3d so it won’t help.
Oh I meant the lag in 3D is terrible.
Dunno I always have it at max and I barely notice anything.
keep playing it. For me like every battle lags. I love 3D effect, I always keep it max for FE Awakening and Ocarina….but this game is my only exception.
I have to agree. I’ve also experienced a lot of lag when using 3D, but it’s only in some places and during some fights, not always….
Turn if off during the battle and you’ll observe the difference.
I’m having a problem I have greninjna and my fire Pokémon is a houndoom should I keep him even if I would have two darks or should i get another fire starter?
houndoom has no fairy or bug weakness.
Ok I’ll keep him! He cute in Pokemon amie
dark is weak to fairy actually
fire resists fairy
it would be neutral so i guess you’re right lol
keep it. plus his mega evolution is cool, if you have Y version though
Does anyone know if the pokemon in friend safari change?
I know the type doesn’t.
is is so that shiny rate is reduces to 1/200????
and I still haven’t found one -_- after thousands of hours of breeding, and using sweet scent for horde battles.
i wanted to do that for fennekin but i won’t if it isn’t 1/200 😛
don’t bother…just wait for breeding. it will have better IVs and can learn egg moves. Plus diito’s in the game….albeit late game. I’d just try for a female so you can breed as early as possible. Plus you can try to breed for a 2nd one and trade it on the gts for another starter.
yeah im breeding right now so is it more likely to get a shiny with breeding>?
I think it’s stiill the same unless you have international parents for Masuda method.
oke thanks for replying
np
No.
I doubt it has changed.
Millions of people playing with 1/8000+ odds, there is bound to be many shinies discovered.
1/200 would basically mean every player would encounter multiple shinies the first day playing!
ty for replying
No clue, but I did get TWO Shinies in a single day on Monday.
Does anyone know if you could get the pokeradar in X and Y?
Yes, after-game. Go to Sycamore’s lab and talk to one of the scientists.
Some of us still don’t understand how to use it 🙁
How so?
I’ve used it, it works the same way it worked in D/P/Pt.
I have only been able to get a 6 chain!
The friend safari will likely be the only place I have a chance.
There are only two or three pokemon. And the field of patches is the perfect size.
It doesn’t work on the Friend Safari, unfortunately… ;-;
NOOOOOOOOOO 🙁
…I just tried it.
Were do u find mega stones
Go on Serebii.
By the way, do you still want a Fennekin?
Yes I’m just at school right now and my 3ds is at home.
Alright, let me know! I got a Female Modest one just for you! 😀
Thanks when I learn how to breed ill breed a frokie for you if you want it. I just need to catch a Pokemon it could breed with.
Don’t worry about that! 😀
@disqus_KBqL2WKI6v:disqus I got you a female Bulbasaur! Got it on my second try. 🙂

Mega Manectric and Alakazam are my favorite’s right now
I LOVE Mega Manectric! Thanks to @disqus_ApdyqBnqn7:disqus for getting me one! 😀
I haven’t gotten a mega yet besides aero, lucario and venusaur, but Mega Banette is my favorite.
Does anyone have a Charizardite Y they’d like to trade for a Tyranitarite? .-.
Me!
I didn’t think anyone would like to! I guess I have to find me a Tyranitarite! Just give me a few minutes! 😀
I have class soon. I will be back in two hours. But I definitely would love too.
Alright, thanks! 😀
I have it! You wanna trade now or when you get out of class? 😛
I just got back…too longer than expected due to a couple meetings. 🙁
DARNIT, the one time I have to be away, and I miss a trade for Tyranitarite.
Yay! Disqus is back! I need suggestions for my team
I have:
Delphox lv.48
Charizard lv.49 (Y)
Florges lv.48
Doublade lv.47
Skrelp lv.26 (just got trying to train)
And I need a suggestion (Please, not Goomy, I tried him but he cant learn surf and he is hard to train) Preferably a Mega evo but I’ll take any ideas please!
BTW I am in the lost hotel.
I’m currently using Mawile and I really like her.
Fairy without poison weakness.
I’d recommend Lapras. It’s reliable. Or Azumarill for Pure Power.
Wait, what about Mega Abomasnow? Is he any good? I need a grass type or an electric. I would get Mega Ampharos but my friend is getting him and we never get the same pokemon. He is like my real life rival.
I’d recommend those two because of what Skrelp evolves into. He changes to Poison/Dragon..
Still has water movepool and good special attack though.
He can still use him as water type, it’s just that having water stab would be better.
Why? Even without stab he’ll deal enough damage and water isn’t really needed this gen. At least I don’t have any water types and I’m doing fine.
what’s bad about that? I also kinda want a barbarcle
It’s not bad, you’ll just need new water stab. Barbarcle could be good. Any water type is good this gen.
How about mega Manetric?
get rid of charizard and get a better flyer. no need for 2 fire types
Here’s my team after beating the champion and entering the Hall of Fame:
Greninja Lv. 71
Talonflame Lv. 72
Venusaur (Mega) Lv. 71
Heliolisk Lv. 71
Tyrantrum Lv. 71

I like it! Any suggestions for my team? (comment below)

Greninja
Charizard
Manectric

*SPOILERS*
Hello guys,
Just finished the game and first thing I have to say…it is vast. The main story is so extensive and enjoyable (about 25-30hrs of gameplay it took, and I was sort of rushing through).
One of my favourite parts was how most of the dungeons (caves, hideouts) are in full 3D, and how big some of the later dungeons are in terms of size and trainers hanging around. Also the vast amount of Pokemon available made it so difficult to choose a team. The new Pokemon are very cool to use and some of the new moves and old ones armed with new animations look amazing.
And the Team Flare plot. So dark and amazing at the same time, when you’re actually playing and see the scenes for yourself, it actually makes you feel for the characters involved. Nice work from GameFreak.
My biggest problem however was lack of a good challenge. Using the Exp Share, makes you extremely OP for some (all) of the gyms, and the fact that the so called ‘Bosses’ have a grand total of 3 Pokemon 😐 (bar the E4 who up that number by 1). Finished the game with a team well into the 70s, now looking forward to trying some other features, and maybe EV training a team for Competitive Battling, we will see…
I know what you mean, the only gyms that I felt were hard were the second and the third, all the other ones I breezed past, although I do love the exp share because it saves so much time.
I think I might do another run through of it and keep the Exp Share off this time. Maybe only use it if i need to grind a bit. That might add an element of challenge. Maybe…
Or you could have a team of eight pokemon.
Yeah its useful because pokemon x and y are already really long games, but if you had to grind all your pokemon it would be more tedious, but it does take away some of the challenge
the E4 was really easy in this game beat them with only 3 Pokémon first try.
Delphox- lvl 74
Staraptor- lvl 59
Lucario- lvl 59
I agree with the bosses having low number of Pokemon( 3 is ok for the first 4 but gyms 5 and 6 should have 4 and 7, 8, and E4 should have 5) but the and option to turn of Exp. Share or you can rotate so your pokemon won’t be OP.
