I just beat the Champion… OMG OMG OMG that is the most beautiful ending in the world!!!!!!!! I’m crying!
Go to the old man’s house in anistar. The man that you should have gave a pokemon to.
What do you mean “Gave a pokemon”?
He asks for a small pokemon.
scatterbug
I guess…

He dies, and he returns your pokemon in a pokeball with his will taped onto it. :,(
O_O….I didn’t give him a pokemon…will he be dead?
Give him a pokemon and beat the E4 again. He’ll be dead then.
What’s in his will?
A task. Not a storyline task, but an emotional task
I just checked, got a Comet Shard! Money!
Someone’s name in the credits is Dickhardt. XD
I love that little sing along at the end. You know what I love EVERYTHING about this game!
Did you see the old man’s house yet? Don’t look at my comment below, there are spoilers.
I’m there but nothing’s happening. Do I give him a Pokemon now?
Oh. Give him a small pokemon, then beat the e4 again. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Again? x)
You’ll glide right through it the second time. Oh, and hold A on the credits.
You were right!
You gave the old man a pokemon before you beat them again, right?
Yes I did, and what happened is so sad 🙁
Any breeders out here giving Pokemon out? :E
I have a quiet chespin that knows sludge bomb, rock slide, ariel ace and gyro ball. It’s level 1.
That’s one tough chestnut
Rock slide those flying types to their death!
I’m gonna start breeding for protean froakies so when I amass a good collection, yes!
I would really love a protean Froakie. Let me know when you have one to trade, please! 🙂
sure xD
No one answered before because it was late, so I’ll ask again… Does anyone know where the magma armor is?
???
Ability?
It’s an item that hatches eggs faster
what??? item….I could have sworn it’s an ability. Plus if you want to hatch eggs faster use flame body fletchinder/talonflame.
OOPS! It is an ability, sorry about that.
It’s okay I’ll just use my marcargo.
My shiny skrelp evolved into dragalge! It’s taking over Carbink’s spot. His name is Kelpo!
haha that was awesome. I wanted to do some residual damage to this espeon in the battle maison, but its magic bounce redirected klefki’s toxic. so I switch to gardevoir, and use will-o-wisp, which bounces back, burns me, then gardevoirs synchronize burns espeon. that’s what I call innovation! 😉
Wow, what a twist. Bet you feel pretty awesome now
I better, I f’ing lost to a vespiquen earlier. did not expect.
So it’s confirmed, i’m the only pokemon fan who likes vespiqueen
Vespiqueen should have a rare hidden ability that like halves all other bug type pokemon’s attack and special attack. Just to go along with it’s “Queen bee” design.
is dicie here today?
Oh, btw, why are people not going crazy about the fact that FLAREON GOT FLARE BLITZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
because glaceon and sylveon > flareon
seriously though, about damn time. flareon was pretty much obsolete.
Nah man, Glaceon is cool (ho ho ho) but all it can do is Magic Coat, Ice Beam and Shadow Ball, which is kinda limited. It has exactly the same problems as the other Eeveelutions have most of the time: Limited Movepool syndrome.
I’m so happy, Flareon is pretty much my favourite Eeveelution (he’s joint with Jolteon and Umbreon I can never decide). So him finally getting Flare Blitz is frickin fantastic. Now one can run a viable Flareon competitively if one should want to.
Espeon also got pretty much the only thing it needed to make it great too: something to deal with Dark types. It gets Dazzling Beam via TM. So Espeon is still comfortably the best Eeveelution out there. Vaporeon hasn’t changed and is still just as OK as it used to be, as is Leafeon.
Now Gamefreak, Give Umbreon Night Shade and Jolteon Electro Ball. Electro Ball might be pushing it a bit, I’ll admit that, but Umbreon badly needs Night Shade, to make him the perfect stall ‘mon. Chansey/Blissey get Seismic Toss and it is crucial to many of their movesets, Night Shade would do absolute wonders for Umbreon.
Glaceon has enough good moves to cover it. And its sheer power is amazing.
snow cloak bright powder double team is a pretty awesome combo, not sure anymore with the nerfing of snow warning
Fair Enough, I suppose.
Still, Flareon finally getting some recognition for what it’s actually good at is most welcome. For so long its Fire option were Fire Fang, Flamethrower or Fire Blast, I’m glad it finally got Flare Blitz.
Umbreon is the only one really lagging behind now. It’s a decent Stall ‘mon, but it’s just not nearly as good as the other options.
I just want the eeveelutions to be as good as the other options. That’s all…
umbreon can pass curse boosts, which is… ok I guess… but compared to the others he is definitely lacking. he should for sure get night shade.
Because Darmanitan can do everything Flareon can but better….
Just caught shiny Whiscash via consecutive fishing. That’s shiny #7.
jeeze archeops looks ridiculous in this game
Hey!
don’t get me wrong I love the designs of every fossil pokemon, that’s something GF does right everytime. but archeops animation is ridiculous. like it makes me laugh, him trying so hard to stay airborne!
He’s a runner, not a flyer. Makes sense.
NO NO NO D:< HE NO LOOK FUNNY! HE BADASS
Where did you find him?
maison
Damn, was hoping we get to catch it one way or another. It’s one of my favourite Gen V pokes
Am I the only one that thought the game was just okay? The story wan’t the best we had, some old pokemon never got evos when they scream them, game was very easy, an in my opinion the worst was I beat this in 22 hours. Still, it is one of my favorites, but when Z comes out I expect so much more.
The game is actually very hard if you play on set and without the EXP. share
I played without exp share.
set + no exp share is hard…I agree especially if you don’t use mega and don’t stick to one dedicated team
*don’t stick to
Thats what i did, megas are too overpowered
I used exp share only if I have levels lower than 30
I beat it in over 100 hours…but that’s because I’m a collector.
Yeah, me too
Yeah I caught all the pokemon too, atleast all the new ones and atleast 100 others.
70 hours for me
Took around 68 hours for me. And I was kinda rushing it, never stopped to check all the pokes of an area, always moving to the next line in the story, I even managed to skip a few trainers here and there including the Victory Road but still enjoyed the game. When I restart, I’ll definitely cruise around taking my time collecting all 450 pokes
OMG THAT WAS SO SAD! @djja123:disqus ;(
R.I.P
He left you a Comet Shard! That’s so much $$$
Who cares to the old man, i have a lot of money now
You poor lost soul… XD Just kidding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMxX-QOV9tI
The saddest part of the game!
Yes it is! If I would have known I wouldn’t have given him that Caterpie so he could live!
Ludicolo is creeping me out
Now that I’ve beaten the game, do I now have to be lucky enough to encounter Articuno?
You beat the game as well? I thought I was your Gary and you were my Ash?
I beat it this morning! 😛 I beat you to it! Smell ya later!
Gasp! I was on Victory Road this morning!
Yes, well you had school today so I was able to pass you 😛
Nope. Home sick, I do tomorrow though. 😛
Oh darn! Hope you’re feeling better now!
Thanks I am (gotta love them medicine) wanna have a battle a bit later?
When I find a certain TM 🙂 Gonna go look for it after a few more Friend Safari’s lol. Gotta catch them all!
I found a Druddigon, Shelgon, and Gabite in your Safari 😀
Where in the world is the Safari?
Go meet Sycamore at the train station in Lumiose!
I’m in Kiloude now battling the guy with the questions about abilities.
Head to the East after.
Found it! Thanks!
You will need A LOT of friends to actually catch good pokemons
I encountered it but I restarted because I can to SR for good nature
Where did you encounter it?
outside reflection cave….I wanted to encounter it twice and I did…but…you know….
I have a person asking me to trade every 5 minutes, but the person has nothing I don’t have. If I remove them from “Acquaintance” will I be removed from their list?
OMG! I’ve encountered my first Shiny. Don’t tell ShinyXatu, but it was in his Safari! A Shiny Wobuffet!!!
I caught a shiny spiritomb, too bad it has a bad nature and IVs
Mine’s Adamant nature. What’s your Spiritomb?
Naughty
Oh =/
Aaaaand perfect IVs in speed, so…
Oh oh he knows (his third eye doesn’t lie) … He is not going to be happy…
why in the hell would you have a dustproof reuniclus???
Finding an Xatu in ShinyXatu’s Safari. How fitting! I’m going to find my first shiny in X & Y today!
Hatched a lonely natured fletchling with gale wings ability! Not bad.
Can you breed one for me?
I can, but a little later today. I need to level it up!
Ok
whooooo caught a shiny slowpoke! shiny number two
I love how lapras doesn’t levitate 🙂
I love how you can see it when you teach it Surf.
Two questions?
What is consecutive fishing?
Does tipping raise the chances of shinies?
When you fish constantly in one place (no movement, no saving and quitting), the chances of finding a shiny increase significantly. Using a Pokemon with the ability Suction Cups (Lileep/Cradily or Octillery) this becomes much easier, as having no bite also breaks the streak.
Thanks
No problem 😀
Serebii: It turns out that if you manage to get a chain of consecuctive fishing hooks, it will gradually increase the likelihood of finding a Shiny Pokémon, with the exact figures still to come. The higher the amount of Pokémon hooked,
the more likely you get a shiny Pokémon, but as with PokéRadar, this is
not a guarantee.
There are a few things that will break this consecutive streak,
however. If you move from the spot, the streak is broken. If you pull in
the rod too early, the streak is broken. If you don’t get a nibble, the
streak is broken.
Thanks
I see your safari is Bug. That’s fitting!
Consecutive fishing is fishing without moving spots and having a bite every time you cast the rod. You have to catch or defeat the Pokemon or it will break the chain.
Tipping does not raise the chances, it was just someone who did it and out of pure luck found one. Who for sure though?
Oh! you DO have to defeat the Pokemon! Well, that’s an hour of my life wasted.
Yup i know right but i have terrible pokemon in my safari NO WURMPLE WITH INTIMIDATE!!! Thanks
Still wonder where the train in Couriway Town leads…
Hinted new region?
That’s what I’m thinking.
I listened to Marriland’s idea and it was so amazing i loved every part of it! Especially, when he said, “new region still apart of 6th gen with 60 to 70 new pokemon,: That made me want to yell, but i remembered it was all speculation :(. How come speculation have to be so great?
That was a really great video. I was convinced when he showed that Note in the guidebook.
Me too, but I am really gullible and believe a lot of things even if someone cannot even back it up 🙁
OH MY GOD… Nothing confirmed
Just listen to the music…
I can’t, busy looking for shinies in your Safari. Already found a Shiny Wobbuffet xP
Haha me too XD
Really!?
I’m going for a Shiny Xatu.
Ask Fen, he already has one.
Oh, I thought you found a Shiny Wobbuffet just like me xD
No, but I’m finding pesky Shadow Tag Wobbuffets!
Lol that must so annoying!!
Why are you hunting in a safari does it raise chances of shinies?
It is, everyone is getting a shiny there so Wynaut?
Lol i going to start shiny hunting… but later
It seems I got the short end of the stick this Generation…no shinies for me.
Me too…
I happened to avoid the grass on my way to get Wulfuric in Pokemon Village, when le shiny Gothorita appears! My heart was pounding as all my Pokemon was very high-leveled, with no status moves or False Swipe. I waited on whether or not I should use Psychic, knowing it’s NVE, but could risk a Crit. hit because of Pokemon Amie. I just threw an ultra or great, hoped for the best, and it was caught the first try! Now it’s a shiny Gothitelle in my box until I beat the E4.
True story bro.
LIES!
You were saying?
what’s the special item that sycamore left there?
SPOILER ………………….. A letter for himself
Go to the bench in the train station. The far right, press A. It’s just a letter.
oh….I thought it was rock slide TM cuz I thought that was pretty unspecial
so wait, pulling a different pokemon doesn’t break the chain?
Does Mewtwo learn any Fighting type moves?
I would hope so, if Mega Mewtwo X is Psychic/Fighting
I’m praying for Close Combat :p
Aura sphere?
Physical ones is what I hope for, but Aura Sphere crossed my mind XD
I know right, Mewtwo X needs to be used correctly
Got a good physical move pool, just not a correct fighting stab besides Drain Punch.
I wish Chesnaught could learn Drain Punch :'(
or any fighting move besides brick break hammer arm low sweep and power up punch
Mach Punch ;(
lets face fact gf hates grass types….well at least bulletproof is an fu to gengar
They really do. They even named a move that makes you a Grass type “Forest’s Curse“
One more reason that shows how much delphox is better than chesnaught
Delphox has a poor coverage. Chesnaught might not have the greatest STAB movepool, it has great coverage.
My houndoom laughs at any delphox
Aura sphere…
can’t learn it
Really?! =(
Yeah i tested with smeargle…
Doesn’t even get Focus Blast -.- TROLLFREAK
Why game freak, WHY?!
They are biased to Greninja >:D
greninja gets toxic spikes and spikes…..Chespin just gets spikes
lol. Protean… XD
Unless a physically-trained Delphox used Power-Up Punch.
psh 40 bp…..life orb sucker punch/pursuit
I wish Chesnaught got good fighting type moves…
and that is only if you bring one from Gen V, otherwise we have to stick with Brick Break…
Also, No Focus Blast for Delphox and Greninja is just ridiculous…
Yeah, but Greninja has some good moves. Ice Beam and Extrasensory make it a beast. Delphox seems like a Focus Blast user. 🙁
He’s basically the same case as Black Kyurem
Damnit! I was sooo hoping for Close Combat! :p
Aura Sphere, but I think it’s his atk that goes up. He will still have STAB though.
