  1. I am so surprised at the vote on pokejungle i could of swore that at January 8th people preferred Fennekin, but now Fennekin is the least. Well things change sometimes for the better or the worst.

    I want to know, who stayed with there starter choice from the beginning?
    I did #TeamChespin!!
    Actually i stayed with the grass type before X and Y came out, because no matter what I wanted the grass type to make it even for me 2 fires(Typholsion Infernape) 2 water(Blastoise Samurott) 1 grass(Sceptile) to even it out I told myself to choose Grass no matter what :P.

  5. I’m supposed to be doing a 500 word essay (not actually that much) due in in like 14 hours right now (its currently 2 am). But no, instead I’m hanging out here. Pokemon is much more interesting than the French Revolution…

  6. Does anyone remember when I posted this prediction for pokemon Z? It went:”What I want for pokemon Z ( warning, extremely unlikely) A new part
    of kalos has been discovered! It is the area east of kalos, where it is
    more of an industrial place, with many coal mines, and even a town
    devoted to one. But when team flare catches wind of it, they band
    together again, to search for rare minerals in the coal mines. At first
    it seems like a little excavation, but turns into much more. They want
    to wipe out the whole population of east AND west kalos, except now not
    even team flare members will be safe. The ultimate weapon Lysander
    created runs on the minerals he collected in east kalos, and will
    basically wipe kalos off the map. No one will survive, except Lysander
    and his new partner Zachary, (who has been secretly leading this whole
    time) created a special way of protection for just Themselves. But when
    Zachay ditches lysander, and so not even lysander can escape, everyone
    is faced with doom. That’s when Zygarde, whom you hear many tales about
    and even see at one point, jumps out of the ground and demolishes the
    machine. He then challenges you to a battle, where you MUST catch him.
    Zachary then sends out his team to attack lysander, but suddenly your
    zygarde rescues lysander and banishes zachary from the kalos region
    forever. Then you beat the E4 and such. 🙂 (I’m sorry if this is
    terrible)”
    .

    Now after all of this evidence, my new region theory may come to be!

  8. Quick question: What would be a better option on a Pachirisu, T-wave and Electro Ball, or Toxic, Protect and Thunderbolt?

    Reply

    • in-game or competitive? I guess in-game i would go with t-wave electroball since it could be fun, but on wifi it won’t be very effective. although i love pachirisu’s design it has no business on a competitive team though so i doubt you’re asking about that though

      Reply

      • Just general usage really, I might use it “competitively” for fun, but just general.

        Also, Nuzzle is actually better than T-wave now, because it’s guaranteed paralysis that also does damage.

        Reply

        • what about fling and covet, with nuzzle and super fang? I don’t know, but those first two moves are good at snatching items.

          Reply

        • i would go with sweet kiss or light screen over grass knot. It still won’t be able to take out ground types even with grass knot but you might be able to support other team mates

          Reply

    • Just punched some numbers. Paralysis brings down speed to 25% normal speed. The fastest Pokemon, Speed Deoxys, has a base speed of 180. 25% of 180 is 45, which is lower than Pachirisu’s 95. So on base stats, Electro Ball should do at least 80 power. Not sure how that translate sinto actual stats/abilities/EVs though, but on base stats alone this is definitely looking like a good strategy with Pachirisu.

  9. Anyone else wish there was an option on a pc called “nature checker” so you could see a pokemon’s nature without going into its summary? It would be really helpful on my adventure for an adamant chespin, where I literally have 4 box fulls of chespin, and I don’t want to keep quitting out of the summary mode and switching boxes, and so I can keep track of which chespin’s summary I’m on. This way you can glance at a box, and look for a certain nature. Or even a nature filter, where you can select a nature, and it highlights every pokemon with that nature.

    Reply

    • you can filter natures under the search option … then the chespins with the nature you want will be highlighted and the others will be grey

  10. I think this is the first generation (aside from the first) that has begun without an event legendary having already starred in a film. I’m okay with them breaking tradition (bw2 instead of Grey) but I beginning to feel like X and Y are very good-looking extensions of Gen 5 with the lack of New pokes, legendaries, and post-game…

      With my comment beneath where this video was first posted:
      “It’s worth also noting that the strategy guide specifically states that the other berries are form other regions. Regions plural. Meaning that we will most likely have more than one region in gen 6.

      So my theory is this:
      Pokemon “Z” (And its counterpart if there is one) will take place in a completely new region. They’ll feature new Pokemon alongside the Kalos Pokemon. I’m hoping for Britain here, I must say 🙂
      We will ALSO get HOENN REMAKES!

      If that’s the case then hands down Gen 6 is the best ever.”

  17. best set for conkledurr? I was thinking power-up punch, drain punch… not sure on the rest. probably iron fist or guts (incase they burn her) ev trained in both defenses and an assault jacket. what other moves should she know?

  22. I love everything about Pokemon X and Y,the graphics, the region,the plot, and all the new pokemon. The only bad thing about them might the number of pokemon but every single one is amazing and i doubt their is one that everybody hates.

  25. So I am currently training my Shiny Banette that my most epic friend on the forums here, TCMets kindly traded me! Don’t worry TC, your Banette is in good hands! I also play in Amie with it, so don’t worry- I’ll treat it like my own (well, now it is XD).
