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… 😉
~Daedardus~
Damnit, I had an Exeggcute chain going, and a Slowpoke just appeared. I know that the grasses shake at different speeds, but I just cant tell tell the difference between them…
Can anybody help me with upgrading the Mega Ring? I’ve played 11 rounds of the Battle Maison, and I cannot trigger the fight with the rival.
u only need to do one
The u go to the pool thing area at the top beat the rival and go to the cristal in anistar city
That’s how you do it? Okay, I’ll start looking for your Manectite XD
You have to complete one battle at the battle mansion, then your rival will be at the top of the hill in Kiloude City.
Thank you all very much! 😀
Do a battle in the battle mansion than go on top of that hill with the lake she will be there then go to anistar city.
Anybody have a houndoomnite I would trade manectricnite or tyranitarnite
Mega Kangashkan is so OP.
You don’t say? XD
Just got my ass kicked twice by one.
lol. What moves?
Power up Punch, Sucker Punch, Crunch, Dizzy Punch.
Power-up Punch is effectively attacking and also getting a Swords Dance
Well, that’s an OP Moveset. Could kick Arceus’s ass.
I found a fossil that turned out to be an Adamant Archen. Want it?
…. You. Are. God. Yes plz. XD
Ok, lemme just breed my own Archen first when I finish this battle 🙂
Okee dokee. But have you seen Archen and Archeops move? Myyyy god it’s awful.
Not yet lol.
He flops around. Not very Archeops-like. Archeops might be more of a runner than flyer, but has some great flying prowess.
Lmao, I’ve gotta see this.
It’s weird…. You might laugh, but I’m legitimately pissed right now, since Gen. 5 had a perfect Archeops model and movement.
Ready to trade.
Just gotta do something with the pokemon I’m gonna trade you.
Yay Pokedex data! 😀 Thanks! Want Slurpuff back?
Nah. Didn’t really want him XD
Thanks! Can you just help me with a couple more trade evolutions?
Of course!
I’m just gonna trade you Haunter, Graveler, and Machoke so they can evolve then trade them back 🙂
Do you happen to have a pokemon that learns Fly in your box and you don’t need it?
I’ve only taught Fly to my Talonflame, but I could teach it to a Fletchling or something if you want.
Nah, ‘ll just reteach it to Talonflame. I updated my movesets last night and so Talonflame doesn’t have Fly anymore.
Ah, ok. Wanna battle?
Not this second. In a few minutes.
Okey dokes.
Ready 😀
I don’t even. o.o
What?
Talonflame. My god… I thought Venusaur could tank it. I was wrong.
Surprised me too actually. I was hoping to get it down to the red then Ice Shard with Lapras.
That was a good battle. Wasn’t expecting Sylveon to tank, did you?
Sylveon’s incredible. And I love how you put Reflect on it. Not only does it have superb Special Defense, but the Reflect boosts its area of weakness.
Definitely. I got rid of Dazzling Gleam. I was expecting Thunder Wave to be honest, but I’m surprised that Sylveon still did really well.
I did Paralyze Sylveon 😛
I know, I was surprised that Sylveon still did really well.
Oh, sorry, misread. You were expecting me to use Thunder Wave xD
Ahh, well I’m still surprised (and slightly annoyed) at your Talonflame’s raw power.
Talonflame <3
My Talonflame </3
How do you find fossils? Is there a guy like in black and white who gives u it
Rock Smash in Glittering Cave.
The rocks will cover you in glitter when you smash them. This isn’t a lie at all.
I’m not sure to believe you or not.
Believe me… Believe in you lord and savior, Archeops127.
You lied lord archeops only dust came out no glitter
….
Found cover fossil and an onix
Those are the sparkles.
Ok 😀
Thanks
Catch a ryhorn and I called him unicorn fits him good

Hmm a adamant Mega Kangaskhan with Parental Bound Power-Up Punches
Nasty…
Did you challenge David??
naw just sayin’ it out loud…
Oh lol, cause I got beat by someone named David (I’m sorry I forget everyone’s names on here) twice by that Mega Kangaskhan with Power-up Punch xD
Yeah and i’m sick of getting my rocky rear-end handed to by Mega Blazikens and Aegislashs
Just wait until you can transfer your Rhyperior, then they’ll pay!
That’s all good buy i’ve been nerfed!
They donked up my Hippowdon’s sand stream and my strategy revolves around a endless sandstorm
It’s not the best held item, but maybe Smooth Rock will help out?
I’ve thought of it but i just never got around to do it
No Mega Venusaurs? Huh, thought they were pretty OP, but then again, nobody likes Mega Venusaur ;_;
I like Mega Venusaur…
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Heyo Bastio, u got competitive pokemon yet?
Sorry. I just got the notification. I’m working on some. Breeding isn’t exactly my specialty. Where is the best place to level up?
I got archen
Breed one for me?
Sure
What pokemon you want?
Take it as a gift
Thanks
What nature
Adamant or jolly
Ok I also have lileep, anorith,aerodactyl,and tirtouga

In case anyone is wondering about the Music Selection during Wi-Fi Battles:
– Music 1: Trainer Battle
– Music 2: Wild Pokemon Battle
– Music 3: Rival Battle
– Music 4: Gym Leader Battle
– Music 5: Mega Korrina Battle
– Music 6: Team Flare Grunt Battle
– Music 7: Lysandre Battle
– Music 8: Yveltal/Xerneas Battle
– Music 9: Kanto Legendary Battle
– Music 10: Elite 4 Battle
– Music 11: Champion Battle.
How do you unlocked them?!
Beating the game unlocks all the themes. When you battle someone on Wi-Fi, before clicking “Battle Start,” look on the bottom screen at the Music, and just tap it to select the tune you want. Unfortunately you can’t listen to a pre-view to tell what it is, but I’ve now listened to all of them and there they are.
I have only 4…
Beat the game and you have only 4? That’s strange :S
Hello, typing this from a phone. Is there another Fakemon people want me to draw?
Whatever you want I guess 😉
Kinda looking for something in particular. I’m out of ideas.
how about a dragon eevee?
Agreed 🙂 A poison typed eeveelution would be cool too.
I’d prefer a bug eeveelution named infesteon or a steel eeveelution called ironeon (I-row-nee-on)
I guess an Electric/Fighting Kangaroo? Named Shockpouch?
Does anyone know any rainy routes? I need to evolve Sliggoo into Goodra 🙂
Change your day to Monday, and go to Route 14.
Thanks a bunch man!
😀 Your welcome. I did the same with my Goodra 😉
My competitive team:
Aggron 252spd/252atk
Gardevoir 252spa/252spd
Hawlucha 252atk/252spd
Florges (Not super trained)
Aegislash (Not super trained)
?????ideas??????
Use hordes to EV train, is a lot more faster
Any Ideas for my 6th slot??? I have a 252atk/252def really high IVs in each chesnaught? Should I use that?
252HP/252def chesnaught wouldn’t be a bad idea
I’m gonna use it.
Yes.
Super training takes so much time!
A horde can give 50 EVs and you EV train in 10 minutes
Sure
50 EVs who are totally usseles because u dont even know what stat it is gonna go to
You can defeat trevenant to get attack, foongus or whismur to get HP, wingull to get speed, mine Jr. to get Sp. Def and geodude to get Def.
Gengar is a common and a serious powerhouse this generation and three of your Pokemon happen to be weak to it. I recommend your last party slot should be Tyranitar or Scizor.
archeops looks so fat in this game….
Isn’t it awful? ;__;
Anybody want to trade, I’m looking for a Kangaskahn, marvel scale dratini, magic guard abra, speed boost whirlipede/Scolipede, prankster sableye, goey goomy, or huge power diggersby

What do you want for it?
What do you have for me?
I have and of the available starters with thier dream world abilities, the fossils except for the hoenn ones, gale winds flecthling, a timid gastly with four perfect ivs.
I’d like archen then
Ok when do you want to trade
Let me breed the diggersby
ok
Wait, can i get the gastly instead?

It may take awhile, all of them are hatching with cheek pouch
Its fine, take your time 🙂
Do you want me to evolve it to haunter, so you will get a gengar?
Yes please evolve it, i have the bunnelby with huge power
Ok do you want me to trade you a gastly with perfect Defense, Sp, Atk, Sp, Def, and Speed i.v.s, or do you want a haunter with Hp, Def, Sp, Atk, and Sp, def?
The first one
