  1. I would say X and Y have been quite an adventure. Wonder trade helps with Masuda method which helped out in getting a shiny Sylveon. Team Flare was bad ass. Would never suspect Malva to be in on it and my one disappointment would have to be that the E4 have only 4 pokemon each. Outstanding game.

  2. I know this is off topic and I’m having a blast with Pokémon Y btw. But has anyone noticed people asking for a three different Pokémon on the GTS called Hoppa, Volcanion and Diancie? Possibly event legendaries?

  3. Love the game overall. Love Lysander and AZ, Love the legendaries, the elite 4 and pokemon league, the Laverre city music 🙂 all I didn’t like was the lack of post game content, and the way mega stones could only be found after the game was beaten. Mega evolution was really cool, and ideally I’d love it if every 3 or 4 trainers had a mega evolution, so it feels like a core part of the game. But that’s only ideal and the amazing graphics and storyline completely make up for it 🙂 in future hopefully we’ll get more megas like the starters final evos, and they’ll appear earlier 🙂 otherwise great game

  4. Post-game and only 69 new Pokemon really sucks but other than that the game is really awesome! I feel like Masuda was drunk when he made this. A lot of stuff seems very incomplete. It’s just ew.

    No department store and no boat to ride on after beating the E4. Ugh.

    • I don’t think you’re a troll. I would rather wait till Christmas or even march for a more complete game. Things seem incomplete but there are tonnes of rumours of DLC and a possible new region in Gen 6 so there is still hope.

    • Lumiose Station train is just as good as a boat. And a department store? Hell, we already got Boutiques, especially the huge one in Lumiose!
      Other than that, you make a valid point. Postgame is boring, 69 new Pokes takes away from the usual variety. At least in previous gens you had a variety to choose from but now, you’re kinda obliged to choose from the old Pokes. Hoping for free DLC, I already paid 40 dollars for this game, not spending more for a few minor updates.

    • I don’t know what everyone is complaining about with post game. I personally loved the post game. The looker bureau thing was very interesting and unique, albeit brief. But nonetheless it was enjoyable. I personally think it’s the best post game yet. You actually do something instead of just going to a battle frontier and hunting down legendaries. The whole “you are the champion, now go fight a lot of guys for no exp and go catch several more legendaries for no reason” thing was a little boring after 3 generations.

  5. So just I’m a bit conflicted about my Klefki move set. I need steel coverage on my team and with positive nature 100 SP.attack a 80 BP Flash Cannon is still respectable. But I wanted a Dazzling Gleam and Foul Play as well because they’re useful moves in this new metagame. But that just leaves one move for status … but with prankster and so many options (T-wave, swagger, torment etc.) I feel like i should have more than one. Also I’ve heard Dual screen and rest talk have had some success? Help.

    • I wouldn’t put any attacking moves on Klefki, it’s too frail to do any real damage. I like T-wave, substitute, swagger, foul play. Classic Liepard 2.0 Prankster annoyance. Or a suicide lead with Spikes, toxic, screens, t-wave whatever your team benefits the most from.

    • I have a Klefki set I’m working on around prankster. It’s spikes, thunder wave, calm mind and Draining Kiss/ Dazzling Gleam/Flash Cannon. The last moves is based on what you want to use it for.

  6. Welp, what a way to start off my 4-day weekend. An essay. After this, gotta go challenge SPOILER Diantha SPOILER for the 6th time to get some EXP for my Shiny Banette. Credit to the MEGA TCMets for trading it to me! Love dat guy (no homo lol).

  7. this is probably a novice question, but if i breed ditto and nidoking, can the baby be a nidoran female, or will it always be male?

  8. I really regret getting SO many Pokemon my first run of the game. I usually play the game rather quickly the first time, then play it again trying to get every single little thing, and I don’t wanna lose all the Pokemon I have so I guess I have to wait until December to get Pokemon Bank. Well other than that, I’m already planning on raising a third team on X and Y. First team being: Greninja, Charizard, Aegislash, Mr.Mime, Manectric, and Abomasnow. My second being: Chesnaught (Bulletproof), Greninja (Protean), Talonflame (Gale Wings), Banette (Cursed Body), Galvantula, and Sylveon (Pixilate)

    My third team, which I’m currently breeding for, is:
    Pinsir (Adamant)
    Dratini (Adamant)
    Carbink (Modest) Both Physical and Special Wall, Modest at least for Moonblast
    Pawniard (Adamant)
    Avalugg (Lax) [Sturdy]
    And I really don’t know what I’m using for my last Pokemon… Was thinking on breeding for a Modest Clauncher, or using the Event Torchic.
    Any suggestions overall? 🙂

    PS: Not really Super Training much, most likely only a single best stat (or two, for Carbink) for each Pokemon.
