I still remember the first year the 3DS launched. It was one rough year, with barely any worthwhile games released for the system. After half a year a massive price cut was issued and people thought Nintendo were doomed forever. Nintendo put all their effort in making the 3DS the success it should have been. After a lukewarm 2012 Nintendo tried to hit back with big hits in 2013, one of those being Pokémon X & Y.
People were saying for over two years that they would never the failure that is 3DS, but the tides seem to have turned looking back at the recent hardware sales. Now I ask you: did Pokémon pull you over? Or did you already have a 3DS well before Pokémon was even announced? Or were it multiple games that made you buy it but Pokémon was the decisive factor? Tell me all about it in the comments!
I’m currently busy with PJNM, so my review got put on hold but I’ll try to make sure it hits the coming week! Until then!

Why training in X and Y is so bad? i just want to evolve my hydreigon but is impossible to reach lvl 64
because they gave us O-powers…
Battle Chateau
I’m at the highest rank in battle chateau and only appears trainers with lvl 15 pokemon
Black Writ of Challenge + Silver Writ of Invitation
I don’t want to spent all of my money too
Battle Chateau is awful for level training, it’s most useful for money. E4 or the triple battles in cafes are better. Also, Iunno what Pokemaniacmy is talking about, leveling is piss easy in this game. Opowers and exp all are broken.
Lucky Egg + Chansey and or Audino Friend Safari.
Still taking too long to train, and i don’t have a lot of time
They changed the Exp. System, again. It’s back to the normal way from Gen. 4. I preferred Gen. 5’s exp gaining mechanics.
I hate when game freak does that
Made it much simpler to train low leveled pokes
And fill the pokedex
The other problem is that Hydreigon evolves at level 65. That is the most annoying thing. I get that it’s powerful, but it sucks that it takes so long to get something useful.
I’m a changed turkey.
Hmm… a fine bird. Well this should feed me for a week! Greninja, use smackdown!
(Just kidding Archaeops)
There’s a Whismur in the forest that you look familiar…
Who said that? F*cking TCMets I bet.
*backs away slowly*
It was you? Who cares..
I’M SORRY XD
Don’t anger the turkey. They can get violent.
ducks are worse though, those crabby bastards
Do you Swanna back up that claim? 😛
It’s funny when dogs chase them, then the chase the dogs back lol
Ducks are evil.
Then you’ve never met an ostrich
Fortunately not up close.
I’ve only seen them in cartoons when australia is portrayed usually in a stereotypical outback setting, nobody wearing anything but khaki clothes and cocked fedoras with some asshole holding a boomerang
So, actual Australia right?
I’ve only seen them at the zoo.
Geese are horrible. In fact all water birds are.
SEAGULLS…
My boyfriend got me an Archen. They are so cute.
They are way to cute. Then Archeops becomes a floppy mess.
I’ve been hunting for a shiny mareep in hordes for about 6 hours in all, and have been hunting in a friend safari for about 3 hours. And I have been tipping like crazy. Please help!
I gave up the Mareep Hunt for now, until I have completed the Kalos Pokedex.
Any suggestions other than NEVER GIVE UP?
Uh…have a Pokemon with Static at the front of your party so you don’t get a crappy Wingull.
NO MORE WINGULL!!!!! I’m actually in the friend safari now with dedenne, helioptile, and luxio
Oh, well for that one…just keep encountering, just keep encountering…
Thanks, I will. *sigh* back to the old grind *sigh*
Nobody actually proved that tipping increases shiny rate.
Use Pokeradar, otherwise, yeah shinies are rare dude. >_>
A lot of starters hate I see…..
Am I the only one who sees IMMENSE potential in all three starters….
Are we back in January 8th?
I guess….
Actually august 9th.
THEY WILL BE GRASS/DARK WATER/FIGHTING AND FIRE/PSYCHIC.
I SURE AS HELL WISH MR. GETONMYPLATE
I am not ready, you cannibal.
Am I a turkey now?
You are a bird eating a bird.
That’s not cannibalistic. That’s just being a carnivore.
Still technically being a cannibal.
That’s only same species eating the same species. A Xatu is not a turkey.
He’s a turkey in fear. XD
A turkey with a third eye that doesn’t lie.
WHAT! A FIRE/PSYCHIC!
No… I love them all.. We are just pointing out their flaws in a respected manner.
CHESPIN SUX! Kidding!
I love greninja and all but…it’s frail as fuck
I love chesnaught and all but….so many weaknesses
I love delphox and all but….gimicky hidden ability
Greninja’s probably the best, IMO. Protean is too overpowered.
If used right…yes it is. But it is also easy to exploit, with a bit of prediction
Any smart player can easily know what a greninja is planning….give it time and people will exploit it….right now people are still unfamiliar with it’s ability
It’s still a good ability, and it gets Spikes as well, right?
of course…but a good pokemon doesn’t win battles….a good trainer does…
Yes. It’s strategy that defeats brute force.
not pre-planned strategy….adaptable strategy
Agreed 100%. Its not the Pokemon you use, but how you use them…
Most people just abuse ghost type moves.
Masuda mentioned he made the starters good on purpose so people would use them.
And they take more time designing the starters than any other pokemon.
Man, that water starter is ugly.
I hope it doesn’t look like Seismitoad…
It’ll probably be a stupid Poliwrath rip-off.
I can’t wait to use a water/fighting type!
All I saw in the release video was chespin, the rest was a blur. I knew I had to make it my starter.
No. Apparently you and I are only ones here.
Certain people are just fanboys. =3
Lol. Certain fanboys me and regi or others?
I don’t if you think I’m one of those “Certain” people, but I love Chespin and I’m proud of it!
Know if*
Who wants to have a Multi Battle? 😀
ME!
OK! So you, me, and who else wants to join? 😀
meeeee
Perfect! 😀
Me
OK, so one more person! 😀
BTW, do I have you? I think I do.
Yes you do
Legends allowed?
NO. *insert NO meme here*
Here you go!
What’s your in-game name?
What are all of your guys’ names in game?
Dennis (who knew?)
Abdul
My Ds “died” so I decided to buy a 3DS instead of another DS, in Christmas 2011. I got Super Mario 3DS land 2 days later, Mario kart 7 in march 2012, White 2 on release day (DS game but never played it in a DS) and…Pokemon X since november 1, 2013!!!!!!
I’ll probably get Mario & Luigi Dream Team on christmas, and I’m still unsure of buying Luigi’s mansion dark moond and Gates to infinity.
I’m sooooo sorry for your D’s. I’ll call A, E, and G to let them know what happened.
Thanks. Although it’s broken It works sometimes, but I’ll only use it for transferring pokemon between generations.
Heh…my joke flew by like no man’s business.
I didn’t get it your joke ;w;
Oh! and whats your safari? I’ve been wondering for a while now
how is it broken?
I purchased my 3DS in May 2012. I only bought it because my DS Lite had a broken hinge and it was annoying to play. I figured that I might as well upgrade to the 3DS, so I bought it and Zelda. Although at the time I knew the reason I bought it. Because Pokemon was going to come to it eventually. That is why i will always buy a Nintendo Handheld. The piles of other great games are just a bonus.
Guys, let’s go over here for the battle!
http://pokejungle.net/chat/
I’m there.
Are you Shroom?
Yes
I bought mine just for XY several months ago.
I bought a 3DS on launch day. I had wanted to upgrade from my DSlite for some time anyways, and it made a ton of sense to just get the 3DS to me, and it’s the first system I bought personally and wasn’t gifted, and on launch at that. Basically saw no reason to either, because it was a pure upgrade, and there wasn’t any downside to me for getting it. The game situation wasn’t really a problem to me, I honestly don’t even have that many 3DS games, only a handful, but that handful more than justifies it.
Exact same with me, I got the DSlite for BW.
I bought mine right after the X and Y titles were announced.
p.s it’s good to be back really good
Anybody want a 6v6 battle…i want to try out my team…
I do but it’s says you’re offline.
ok, try now
You do know Mega Gengar + Shadow Tag + No more PP on a attacking move = longest battle of our life right? XD
Yep…I was so close to taking it out…actually can’t believe i lived on 3 HP
So what do we do now? XD
Im gonna switch but my only physical attacker is talon flame
At least now i know I’m not prepared for a blissey
We would have been in that battle forever XD Thank you for switching out!
Do you just have Blissey and Gengar left….
Yup, if you kill Blissey it’s just Gengar and Mega Gengar is faster so you won :
I have TalonFlame and Gengar. If TalonFlame dies, I’m left with just Gengar…and Gengar vs Bliss will go on forever…
Shall we call it a draw.
Just kill Nurse Joy :'(
I have 9 dark pulses left…after that i can no longer damage her
That would have been terrifying XD Longest battle I have ever had! Good game and a really close battle!
Yep…literally 3 HP left…will battle you again sometime…but first time to find a good fighting Pokemon…
I will but I only have 2 IV bred pokemon if that’s okay
Yes. There’s not much else I want to play on it.
Yeah, me too. Tbh (and I know people will hate me for this), I’ve kinda moved on from nintendo games and I’m more of an xbox guy now. But pokemon is something I still LOVE to play and was definitely worth the purchase of a 3ds.
I’ve never really played anything from Nintendo other than Pokémon. Nothing really grips me. I’m more of a Sony gamer myself 😉
Ps1 and 2 era were good for Sony but Ps3 and now, not so much. I’m just into the constant shooters and over unnecessary gore.
There’s some top class stuff out there.
Good luck getting $500for XB1.
I already had a 3DS, but I got a 2nd one for x and y so I could trade with myself.
Does anyone have a pupitar safari?
I bought my original aqua blue 3DS on launch day but bought a XL so i can play it on a well deserved larger screen
Plus my middle brother inherited my original so he could get X
FINALLY A SHINY FRAXURE!
what’s its nature?
Adamant because I was using an adamant ralts with synchronize.
How many boxes?
You can get a free shiny haxourus in Black 2 and White 2
I know but I wanted to find my own.
At least you’re lucky, is hard to get the shiny haxorus in W2… i can’t say the same about shiny gyarados
I didn’t get the the one in black/white 2 but I wouldn’t really call 988 encounters lucky.
My first Shiny was a Wingull in X ;w; oh well, its a shiny! 😀
mine was Chansey. I got a shiny Camurupt yesterday.
wow…and im not finding any shinies in an hour in the safari, while everyone else does .w.’
I wasn’t really trying to find shinies….it just happened. Give it time I’m sure you will find another.
Shiny Eevee this morning.
:OOO
Yup lol, found it in the Friend Safari when I woke up to play for a little bit. It’s Modest Nature with perfect IVs in HP and Special Defense, but terrible IVs in Defense.
Perfect for you know what, except for the Defense part. Check YT.
Who’s Friend Safari was it?
I don’t think I want to use it for that, I’m thinking of using it for Shiny Sylveon eventually because the HP and Special Defense, can become a real Special tank 😀
Checking now, and it was Exeledus’ safari. Lucky I got it before Exeledus lost all friend codes xD
I had Exeledus before… Is it the new or old one?
Old, have yet to add the new FC.
I’m in the longest battle of my life right now…
Random match-up or someone on Pokejungle? Is Nurse Joy involved? Most likely xD
And replied 🙂
Yes she is and it’s with Chaos (look below)
Ah, so you only have Blissey and Gengar left.
His Mega Gengar is 3 HP and I have no attacking moves left because of low PP. Mega Gengar is faster than regular Gengar. My Gengar is at lower HP and is slower.
And wow! Nurse Joy survived with 1 HP!
Go Nurse Joy! You big bulky egg you! xD
Gengar vs Blissey with no damaging attacks = Hell.
WOW! so many possibilities xD Oh btw do you have a Pupitar female in a premier ball by any chance?
I can check, but not till later, working on an assignment at the moment, just been checking in every so often to Pokejungle haha.
Sure I still have your pupitar was hoping to trade that for a female one….I want premier ball egg xD
Ok xD
Cool thanks xD Let me know when you are available. In the mean time I’ll try to get that chespin for you. Any nicknames you would like?
Hopefully around 9 ET, and nope, no nickname 🙂
Awesome I have a few things to do as well. I’ll see you then xD
Shiny Eevee was my first, too. It’s now a glorious Umbreon.
Umbreon is so cool shiny!
Ikr, all blue and stuff XD
Shiny Geodude this morning.
Does anyone have a Shieldon on X and Y they would be willing to trade? I want to train one correctly EV wise but don’t want to wait until December.
I got a Shieldon! Its male with a bad nature though.
Natures don’t bother me. I can always breed them again.
Ok! So trade? Here’s my FC 4141 3066 8005
What do you want? I’ll go set it up. 2707 2889 6124 my code.
Hmm what do you have?
Gah! I’m in the Pokemon League! I’ll have to check later. Sorry. I’ll try to lose quickly.
That’s alright! Do you have an Electabuzz/Klang or Taillow
No… Sorry. I can try to find one later though. I have to go back to my dorm in a bit.
Ok, well I dont mind what pokemon i get! But do you happen to have a Cute Charm Jigglypuff/Skitty thats a male?
LOL. No. I’ve been breeding lately. When I’m not sleeping or doing school work.
Lol That’s pretty much what ive been doing in life.
Sorry. Nope. I’ve been breeding and training when I’m not sleeping or doing school work. Are you interested in foreign pokemon?
Sure! Whats your FC?
2707 2889 6124
Added!
I have a Japanese Pikachu, Durant, Scatterbug, Poliwag… Shelmet. An eevee.
Shelmet!
Edit: Pancham is better!
*Facepalm* I just got the notification. Lol. I love French pokes and they’re good for trades. Thanks!
Edit: I just realized the Shieldon is French! You made my day!
Haha! Yeah no problem! Thanks for the Pancham!
Welcome!
I got my 3DS after nagging my mother that I want one so I could play Y. She said Christmas I would get and I was happy and sad at the same time. As X&Y was getting closer (under the 1 month mark) I nagged her even more. Well after being enrolled in my school’s NHS she said she would get me one due to my hard work and i was thrilled! I got the 3DS two days after on a monday because of shipping >_> (even though i bought the game on launch and I was using a friend’s spare 3DS) but nonetheless my life has been consumed by Pokemon.
Who else loves the skiddo riding music?
I do. I want to steal one of the skiddo…
Me to and then ride it EVERYWHERE!
If anyone would like to join my private conversation chat room dedicated to Pokemon X and Y (and any other random shit): http://pokemonxandpokemony.chatango.com/

I set rules. One was you can curse with me, not at me. You did the opposite. Therefore, you have been banned.
I know…. But I won’t do it with my main account. :p
FINE. You have been issued a warning, but may reenter.
As Dicieops? I’m confused…
I’ve been hunting in the friend safari for a shiny all day, and some people here find shines there in less than fifteen minutes. DX I drives me insane!!!!
I got a shiny ivysaur and fraxure from it today but 2 more outside of that today was a good day.
I have a terrible shiny dragalge, and that’s it.
My ivysaurs terrible its a jolly natured one.
