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… 😉

I would like to see a complex review, with some details that other reviewers don’t say. It would also be nice if you could say your best and worst Pokemon designs of the generation. Keep looking foward to it anyay 😉
Well, sadly Dicie’s birthday is coming to a close. As off topic as it is, I wanna say I had a wonderful day, and the reason I wasn’t on too much is because I was celebrating with 6 of my friends, my family and other friends as well. I had a party, we ate, played, danced, and the overall hype of the day was too much for me to handle. I’ll hopefully be on more often this weekend, but not too much throughout the week due to school. I love my life even more after today, so PJN, just wanna say I love you all! 😀
VICTORY DANCE!
It’s your birthday? Well shit I wasn’t here! D: Here’s a little gift….
HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!!!
Anyone wanna battle?
1349 5096 5450
still hatching eggs…-_- I wanna be done with this so I can battle…but it might take me more than a week!!
Ahh. TCMets is challengeing me :0
oooh xD
I always press no for Game Chat…. And I mess up XD
GG @TCMets:disqus
Tyrantrum scares me.
It did? You kept on out predicting me….
Mainly because I still don’t know what it’s capable of. I haven’t searched its defenses and how fast it can be. All I know is its physical.
I probably could have KO’d both Goodra and Talonflame if I wasn’t so damn worried about Mawile. Also, Kurusu was one of the two names I was gonna name my Lapras in Y. 😀
Yup, I was willing to sacrifice Talonflame so I used Will-o-Wisp off the bat, and was surprised you went with Crunch, but I guess that’s because you were expecting me to switch? That allowed me to switch to Goodra and withstand a physical hit.
And I love Kurusu :3 What did you end up nicknaming yours?
I was expecting you to switch Talonflame with Meowstic… I named my Lapras Koori.
Aww, what’s the inspiration for Koori?
Same name origin as Kurusu. Chose Koori because it sounded more punny.
Your Venusaur is a tank, wow lol.
And everybody said Mega Venusaur was the worst! I raised him perfectly, and has always been my last second saver! And it has Thick Fat. XD
He is amazing!
In my last battle against Chandelure16, he survived two Flamethrowers from Manectric, one of which was a Crit. And OHKO’d a Mega Abomasnow. Amazing. And this was a triple battle.
Mega Venusaur is one of the best Megalutions. Such a tank, damn!
I bet you thought you’d be able to set up when we both had to send out a Pokemon, and you sent out Sylveon while I sent out Chesnaught ;P
I was scared if your Chesnuaght has Poison Jab, but I should have just used Moonblast. It probably would have OHKO’d or 2HKO’d. :/
Would love to have another battle eventually 😀
Lemme try to Super Train. If I don’t get a Reset Bag soon, I’ll battle. Deal? 😉
Okey dokey lol.
I need some Reset Bags -.-
Keep hitting that default bag, eventually you’ll find them! 🙂 I’ve found 3, have 1 of them in reserve for Yveltal.
>:( Lucky! I can’t find any!
Not lucky, it took me a couple hours to find them.
Why do they make them so rare? >.> GameFreak!
use a fully ev’d pokemon to hit reset bags
Mega Pinsir with Return is AMAZING! *O*
I’m trying to document what all the music selections are in Wi-Fi Battles. So far I’ve got:
Music 1: Trainer Battle
Music 2: Wild Pokemon Battle
Music 3: Rival Battle
Music 4: If I remember right, this is the Gym Leader.
Music 8: Thanks to my most recent battle with Archeops, this is the Yveltal/Xerneas Battle
Music 9: Kanto Legendary
Music 10: Elite 4
Music 11: Champion Battle
😀
OMG….I thought it was only 3 xD I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!
Nope, you unlock them all once defeating the Champion 🙂
now all I have to do is finish IV….wait for me in 10 years….
*IV breeding
OK! Be ready for our battle in Generation 8 😀
I just made a really good Chesnaught set that is very unique…only skarmory can pull it off
Chesnaught @ Leftovers
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
– Spikes
– Roar
– Synthesis
– Hammer Arm/Seed Bomb/Stone Edge/Wood Hammer
looks like some one has been following me 😉
Not you lol, I’m not a stalker 😛 I google search Chesnaught, and the Smogon forum pops up, and I browse through what they’re discussing as possible sets for Chesnaught. I saw your suggestion earlier today xD
Yeah, I just realized this morning that Chesnaught can learn Roar….and I was like :O Seriously this is one of those hidden sets that no one would ever want to use….and it has very good potential in OU.
It’d warm my heart to see Chesnaught in OU. Chesnaught <3
Unlike Greninja (who is currenly loudly hyped to be OU)….I can see Chesnaught quietly creep up to OU, once people realize how to use him the right way!
Where does that leave the most beloved starter upon reveal, Fennekin?
RU I think.
🙂
Awesome stats, awesome pokemon, crappy movepool.
Naw UU atleast…but my boy Houndoom is gonna give it competition.
Heracross might too. It has some hidden bulk, and can deal sooooooooo much damage.
Chesnaught and Greninja are pretty much guaranteed OU. But Chesnaught might just be an uncommon OU Pokemon.
I like OU pokemon that are more the hidden gems and require lots of thought to utilize properly.
Like Weavile? You are the strategy master here at Pokejungle, btw 😉
Weavile finally got Icicle Crash…but no….things like Assault Vest Drapion/Skuntank….(a.k.a FU Gengar)
Ahh. Chesnaught is also FU Gengar. 😀
and Aegislash with roar
Aegislash is the best pokemon ever. Much better than Eviolite Doublade.
Yeah but it typically has swords dance or kings shield
It’d be pretty useful with Roar if you are using a Support Aegislash.
Oh I meant chesnaught roars Aegislash not the other way round
Oh. lawl.
yeah it prevent aegislash from setting up all over chesnaught
Omg, Assault Vest Drapion :O I hate having to take that thing down as is. That’s insane!
Mega Gengar can’t ever 3HKO those bad boys with Focus Blast
Damn. Gengar might be badass, but he must be pretty weak in the OU metagame now!
not yet….but once people know what sets it runs….there will be easy counter. Give it time, and I guarantee people will realize how good Chesnaught and some underated pokemon are.
This Gen is the best Gen. Balance for everything!
Except Fairy type. That’s not balanced, but Mega Mawile isn’t complaining :3
Meh, Fairy is good balance, but should have been weak to Dark types. Fighting types were pretty OP as well as Dragons. Grass and Ice should have resisted the type, as well as Phychic.
Omg, why didn’t GameFreak consult you when they made Fairy type??
Ahh. I wouldn’t have known what to do back then. If they consulted me now, then YES
wouldn’t*
every fairy is taken out with poison + fire or poison + ground
Defense is the new offense.
Then why didn’t they come up for me? I beat Diantha 7 times!
Music 8 is one I’m gonna use in the majority of my battles xD
Anybody have houndoomnite they are willing to trade I have an manectricnite and tyranitarnite to be traded
Other than the restaurants in Lumiose, anyone know a better way of getting easy money fast? :I
Battle Chateau. Those people are rich. Amulet Coin and you’re good to go.
Awesome, thanks! 🙂
I would issue a Silver Writ first though starting in the morning. It may cost a lot, but before long you’ll have earned more than triple the amount you paid if you battle there for a little while. Literally every time you enter/exit a room new challengers are arriving to have their money taken.
Early in the day, I usually issue a Gold Writ and a Red Writ of Challenge, then go back in a few minutes. :3
Those Writs never do anything for me, I’ve stuck with Silver Writ xD But whatever works to bring challengers there! 😀
I agree, I still see more Marquis’ than Dukes… 😛
They be rich ass punks. XD
I need money….I literally broke from breeding ….
What Item should I give Avalugg?
It’s still a work-in-progess, it has Stone Edge, Curse, Gyro Ball, and Avalanche. It’s Lv. 44
Assault Vest.
Wait, nevermind, you have Curse, hmm.
I don’t even think I have that! XD
Leftovers.
Nice, I’ll try that! 😀
Replace Stone Edge with Earthquake
teach it recover
EQ, Avalanche, Recover, filler
Trust me, I will soon. It’s there for coverage right now.
And Recover? Does it even learn that? :I
try move tutor…otherwise it’s an egg move for sure
I’d rather not, it’s a bitch to level up, and it’s already 44 all the way from Lv. 1
I love that the Vs. Recorder can save many battle videos now, and can also act like the secret bases in R/S/E did. Where the AI takes over your opponents team and you battle it….Hoenn Confirmed.
how many can it save now :O?
100.
100????? Damn….that’s huge improvement from 1
X/Y didn’t just take it a notch above the other gens, they took it 2 or 3 notches.
How about 99 notches?
and X and Y is only 1.7 GB out ot a max of 8 GB…..I see potential xD
A TON of potential!
The had better take their time in the sequel and make it 1000 times better than X/Y…which will remain a wonderful memory for us xD!!!
And no Lumiose death glitch.
did you download the patch?
Yes, I meant nothing like the Lumiose death glitch. Should’ve said that xD
some one need to find a shiny glitch or a perfect IVs glitch
Only Japan would have probably had that bug if it wasn’t a Worldwide release. That bug just means we truly got a Worldwide release.
Yup, I know 🙂 We usually didn’t have these glitches because they were fixed by the time we got the games.
It’s pretty awesome, although I’m scared of Lumiose for life now.
Most of the 1.7 GB is just Pokemon models…. POTENTIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I personally want Hoenn sequels, since there are too many pokemon for Hoenn to NOT feel outdated. If they remake, they better revamp the Pokedex. :/
I just want Hoenn trumpets honestly.
^THIS
Orchestral Hoenn trumpets. :O
Orchestrated Hoenn Soundtrack :O
All of the above. :O
When I think about it, I want Orchestrated this!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6M2xt_Ks4Y
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5gJycqXNAs
Official orchestra. Love Vonyco’s version, though. Perfect for a war. Aggron vs. Rhyperior. OHMYGOD IMMA GENIUS
THIS… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHTbelSY4BM This…
Man I love the fact that now I use a paper weight and place it on my 3DS to hatch any egg without ever having to touch my 3DS….thank you circular path outside Lumiose tower
LOL! Very smart!
I love the fact that they put the daycare center on the same path as the longest horizontal line in the game.
Don’t forget the Day Care has Espurrs in it! YOU CAN SEE THEM SUFFER
THEY HAVE SEEN THINGS. VERY BAD….. oh never mind.
They always do that 😉
The longest route in a straight line is almost always at the daycare centre point. Minor exception in BW where Skyarrow bridge was much better for egg hatching, but even then the route which the daycare is on has a decent amount of straight route.
Totally off-topic but…homecoming is tomorrow. Hype level over 9000.
Jealously level over 9000.
Girlfriend level approaching MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!!!
;__:
It seems kinda late for homecoming. Did you get a corsage and everything?
@TCMets:disqus Wanna battle?
Later today? 😀
Ahh. Okay! 😀
What have they done to Archeops and Archen! O.o
You mean how they fat-ified them?
Yes! It’s awful! They seriously couldn’t copy his Gen. 5 movements?
just so you know based on a wonderful idea from Nicolas, i now have a base for Diancie. I can draw it and post it.
we are waiting
Sorry, cleaning up the others… I’ll get to it now.
Ok I lied. I just can’t draw it!
Seems like every time I say something, I go contradicting it! I now have drawn one!
Updated Hoopa and sketch of Diancie.
Diancie reminds me of sableye kind of. Maybe in the next movie, it will be about diancie, and sableye will be in it again, and they will become friends.
I kind of like that idea!
Pokedex for it:
Diancie, the Gem Pokemon
Rock/Fairy
2’10”
70 lbs
Diancie live in caves, taking power from precious gems they find.
I know I’m late to the party, but here’s my friend code 3067-5104-0831

Ok, so here’s another Fakemon.
Play Rotom
Electric/Fairy
Wow, that’s a great idea! You should work for gamefreak!
Thank you so much! No one has ever said that to me before 😀
With your art, you’ll get that a lot! 😀
Sorry for being so late. Thanks SO much!
That’s what I’m doing when I’m older! They are currently taking job aps!
Seriously?!
Prettty sure.
It mega evolves into the 3DS!
Yup.:P
What about a laptop rotom? That could work right?
It could be Psychic type.
I would use it!
I dont know about you, but I love this hoenn champion remix… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHTbelSY4BM Oh, and could you write your favorite music from x/y in your review?
That was awesome listen to this: http://youtu.be/VLEcStW9jts
Can people give opinions of my drawings below? What parts you like, don’t like etc.
hopefully the mythical have good legends
I can’t wait for those secret pokemon to be revealed! Would they be counted as legendaries though or just rare?
My design for Diancie: (I’m posting this about every hour.)
Diancie, the Gem Pokemon
Rock/Fairy
2’10”
70 lbs
Diancie live in caves, taking power from precious gems they find.
Guys. I just thought of something.. What if instead of Ruby/Sapphire remakes, we get an Emerald remake. BUT, split into two, like Emerald X and Emerald Y where they introduce 2 mega forms of Rayquaza. That would be soooooo cool. It’s a longshot but, hey.
That is one of the most genius remake concepts I’ve ever heard.
In consecutive fishing, if “nothing seems to be biting” do you break the chain?
yes.
No!! are you kidding? Even if I didnt break the chain I sneezed and missed a fish! I’m just not cut out for this shiny stuff!
