I’m still alive! I had a really rough week this week, and mostly four hours of sleep each day. I hardly had the time to check my computer, let alone do something meaningful (sleep deprivation isn’t very helpful when writing articles).
Yet, after I finish doing some important homework, I will get back to writing my XY review. I don’t plan to write a review like most gaming site do, but more of an extensive opinion piece comparing the game to the ones who came before it. I’ll write a bit about the new direction they are seemingly taking and how they try to accomplish that and will give my opinion on all the changes and new stuff to see what I think works and what could use improvement. I’ll try to only include mild spoilers, so I won’t discuss story in detail or anything like that.
That brings me to my question of today: where would you like to see me focusing on? Are there any points in the game that stood out for you, be it positively or negatively? Any suggestion are greatly appreciated :).
I don’t know when the review exactly will hit, seeing as I’m still a busy man. It most likely will be around Monday. I’m revealing new details for PJN Magazine very soon, based on all the feedback I got. I got like 140 replies, with only a few trolls, so the interesting seems to be there.
See you then. In the mean time, start commenting below. Also try to keep XY playthrough spam to a minimum, or else… 😉

Your opinion. What you truly thought of the game. I want see what you thought of the Roller Skates, the battles, the 3D nature of the game, and what you thought of the 69 pokemon.
As for the 3d, I love the graphics but don’t use 3d. I love the roller skates, but use the bike more. Only 69 pokemon didn’t bother me too much because quality = 100 times quantity. I love all the designs. My favorite features were pokemon amie and super training.
You and me both. The 3D effect is beautiful, though, so i recommend you try it! 😉
Dive into the details of what you thought of the game and the “special hints” thrown around from hoenn and the possible gen 7
it’d be interesting to see your opinions on the more in depth details of the game: how do you feel about the ease of finding shinies? how do you feel about the longer campaign? how do you feel about the changes made to the type chart? things like this i’d like to see someone’s opinion on these sorts of topics
Tell everyone how little was the post game
what you think of super training PSS and pokemon amie
why is the jungle so barren oh my gosh where is everyone
School/Work.
Alas, this is true. I’m only here because I have no homework half the time… Straight A Student. :3
That’s great! 🙂
The PSS, definitely this feature. It’s such an improvement over having to go to the Pokemon Center, and connects you to so many people. Would like to hear your thoughts on it, and how you think they might be able to improve it further.
Online features are probably the one I want to see focus on like PSS! All of the reviews available online talk about the in-game. None of the reviewers had the time to talk about how good/bad the online features were because at the time, few people had the game. How integrated is the pokemon community through this feature? Good points, bad points and improvements you would like to see in a sequel to PSS!
The many mysteries in the game, elevator ghost, closed power plant, Couriway station, Strange Souvenir, etc…
These are really just building up and my speculative mind is just going out of control. All I wanted from this generation was a Dragon Eeveelution!! If I can get one through a mysterious method later on I will be so complete.
And space for another train in the Lumiose station
Alright, so you never want to encounter a horde of tauros and a miltank. Intimadate activated 4 times. 😛
another shiny! that’s 3 in the span of 24 hours, and 5 total! 😀
Your so lucky! I’ve been doing horde battles for 2 hours straight and nothing!
My designs for Hoopa and Volcanion:
What’s are the types supposed to be again? I love hoopa the best out of the two.
I can give full Pokedex.
Hoopa, the Sound Wave Pokemon
Psychic/Ghost
1’3″
6 lbs
Hoopa are blind, and use echolocation to find their way. It sends out pulses from the rings on it’s body, which can subdue foes.
Volcanion, the Lava Whale Pokemon
Fire/Water
39’11”
3,000 lbs
Volcanion floats idle in the sea, occasionally spewing lava from the vents on its back. Flying Pokemon often rest on it.
Where did you get this information?! They SOUND (hoopa pun) awesome!
Was posted by Serebii, then deleted.
hoopa. I MUST MAKE IT MINE. Oh, and what about Diancie?
Couldn’t think o a design.
Do you know Diancie’s pokedex entry?
I made the other ones up.
That makes Hoopa the smallest legendary of all time and Volcanion the largest! That also means Volcanion is the heaviest Pokémon and the 2nd largest Pokemon to exist.
Why does it say, Hoopa ARE blind? I thought it was an event legend.
I don’t know honestly.
Your Volcanion looks amazing. For Diancie I’m waiting a small and cute bipedal thing with gems over its body, and for Hoopa a mysterious and powerful thing like Darkrai.
Oh! I love that Diancie Idea! For Hoopa I was thinking it would be a pixie Legendary like Jirachi, Celebi, and Victini. Both it and Victini are Hidden Legendary primary Psychic types.
oooo i love the humpback design with those volcanoes
something tells me that it uses it’s internal magma to create pockets of land!
I like dat Hoopa
Since you’re comparing gen 6 to other gens, you should include a ranking of your top 6 generations in your review!
*cough*Genwunners*cough
Talking about the improvements of X & Y from older series and the new features (PSS, Super Training, and Pokemon-Amie). Talk a little bit about the story (Don’t reveal much for people who dislike like spoilers). Lastly, your personal thoughts on the game! 😉
You should talk about your new favorite battle models, and your favorite song/theme, the flow of the game, and just your opinion on how good the game was.
Anyone wanna trade friend codes mine is 4811-7506-4906
I thought of a really good move set for Hoopa, after seeing it’s description:
Hoopa, the Sound Wave Pokemon
Psychic/Ghost
1’3″
6 lbs
Hoopa are blind, and use echolocation to find their way. It sends out pulses from the rings on it’s body, which can subdue foes.
.
Sooooooooo:
Boomburst
Metal sound
hyper voice/ perish song
grass whistle/ sing.
.
What do you think?
So you’re telling me that this description and typing for Hoopa and Volcanion are legit?
It’s from the accidental serebii leak.
The typing’s real.
I like it, but why Dragon Pulse?
Would any one like a shiny espurr?
What nature is it :O
Modest.
:O What gender??
Female.
OMG what would you like for it!?
What shinies do you have?
Wobbuffet. That’s my only Shiny on Y so far. Adamant nature.
Hmmm, actually I don’t know now if I should trade it. I thought I had another one, but I forgot that I put it on wonder trade to make a stranger’s day happy. :/ I’m sorry, but I’m masuding for shinies, and I’ll tell you right away when I get another! Which will probably be soon, considering I have been getting more shinies recently. So far I have: shiny ursaring, shiny slurrpuff, shiny chespin, shiny espurr, and my other shiny espurr I accidentally gave away if that counts. I am expecting another one to come along soon, so I’ll save that one for you.
It’s ok lol 🙂
does it have it’s hidden ability?
I haven’t checked its hidden ability yet on serebii, but I believe it has own tempo.
That’s it’s hidden ability. There is someone desparately looking for a hidden ability espurr. He would be very happy to know if you have one.
I am keeping the shiny, I decided. Let me see if my other hatched espurrs have own tempo.
Please let him know shiny or not, I believe he is called Milotic4Ever
She* 😛
woops xD
yay, shiny gyarados!!!!!!! that’s 4 within 24 hours! 6 total! 😀
What’s a good spot with a lot of grass to use the Pokeradar?
uh… azure bay has ALOT of grass… im not nearly as good pokeradar chaining as I am consecutive fishing…
Thank you. And in Consecutive Fishing, do you have to defeat the Pokemon? Or can you run and still keep the streak?
you can run, it doesn’t need to be the same pokemon repeatedly. just fish and run until its shiny. also, don’t move, and finding a shiny ends the chain. contrary to popular belief, this works at any spot you can fish. they’ll tell you it only works on spaces enclosed by rocks and such. I found: Clawitzer: middle of the sea on route 8, Seaking: Parfum Palace courtyard, Gyarados: in a stream on route 22, and Basculin: on the shore of a river in the pokemon village.
Thank you!!! 😀
it takes a long time, so patience is a necessity, but its very, VERY easy to do if you have the time, I mean I was on a chain of 104 when I caught clawitzer.
That’s no problem for me haha.
How do you write your own dialouge for PR videos? I need 2 no
im gunna mega evolve gyarados see what it looks like!
ok, shiny mega gyarados is all red. every detail other than its tan underside and white wings is just different tones and shades of red.
People, look at the Pr video this person made. I’m srsly dying: http://sassybatterie.tumblr.com/post/64792537638/i-made-some-minor-edits-of-the-pr-video-i-made-at
(yes, it’s the espurr one)
LOL! I was just looking for that video in my favorites to post to your question about PR videos. I was gonna say I have no clue, I haven’t done it, but here’s a funny PR video with Espurr xD
There wasn’t even any dialogue at all, yet it was the best pr video I’ve ever seen!
It’s gold!
Here’s another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDc4JaXpjZA
LOL how did he even get that animation???
He said you probably have to raise your style in Lumiose. But I don’t know, only did one PR video in the beginning xD
How do people raise their style???///???
Well I have max style somehow, but I think that’s because I tipped everyone. I have a feeling tipping correlates to style points because I was able to get into Lumiose Boutique no problem.
If GameFreak really wanted to turn competitive battling on its head, they’d introduce a limit as to how many times you could withdraw your Pokemon during Wi-Fi battles.
I’m sadly a victim of switching too much :P..but some people do go way overboard to the point that it’s almost unnecessary and hurts their chances.
It’s crazy lol. I was watching a shofu video earlier where he said he switched into one Pokemon, just to predict his opponent would switch, and then he would switch too. There’s too much switching lol. But still, I’m just a beginner in the competitive scene, so what do I understand xD
haha I’m still learning too. I guess that makes things more interesting though, wondering if some one is going to switch, so you switch. but then again they can just switch next turn..aghh. lol too much. Why I love Toxic Spikes!
now you know why spikes, stealth rock, toxic spikes and sticky web are useful!!!
RocketClauncher used Toxic Spikes against me in our first battle ;( Everybody died!
precisely….the biggest difference between in-game and competitive is switching…..
And EV trained Pokemon ;P
And prediction xD

I was looking for you, yeah I’m ready. Do you mind if it has 4 IVs perfect but not perfect speed?
