Dae asks: How connected are you?

News is crawling by slower than a three-toed sloth. I guess you can’t really promote new games when you still want to sell the old ones :). Bring on the spin-offs in January, please.

Anyway, today’s about a major feature of Pokémon: connectivity. Even more than 15 years ago, Pokémon was designed to bring people together to let them trade and battle. Nowadays, with the internet having gained solid ground, staying connected is easier than ever. With the PSS in Pokémon XY, battling is as simple as pushing one button. This leads me to my question: how connected are you? How many friends have you got in your friends list. How many times do you battle and trade everyday? Do you talk a lot about your battles with your friends in online chat, or even at the playground? And who’s considered the best local battler of his friend group/family?

It’s hard to make up news, and we don’t have coverage that is coming to a close that actually gets delayed and trickled to pretend there’s still news, so if you have any ideas, hit us up in the comments. Maybe I should try to write my own Pokéology, seeing as we have no clue what Mechanos is up to. You can comment in the meantime below this article, but everyone who spams too much will be put on the ‘spamlist of shame’ for everyone to see. Happy commenting!

  1. Huehuehuehuehue FIRST. Also, awesome article. I am connected to the games as I see all these people around me, enjoying the game and learning tactics to beat them all. It’s fun to trade, battle, and even see our PR Videos. My Pokemon and I are friends, separated from just one screen. I am trainer surrounded by friends.

  2. I beat all the kids on the playground at recess. They all give me their lunch money and let me be first in line for the swings. Actually I’m in college and the only people I battle are the Japanese kids I spotpass.

  3. I love the connectivity in this game! I can honetly say that this is the first Pokemon game to have me hooked completely and I don’t even mind the random battle and trade requests (though I am dreading that when PokeBank and PokeTransfer is out, we’re gonna see a flood of Arceus’ unless they are hacked).

  4. I have never talked to anyone about playing Pokemon X, because in the past I’ve been called “gay” or “such a little baby” for playing it. The only friends on my friends list is my best friend, my brother, and you guys. I’ve never battled, I’ve traded at least once a week, I only talk about pokemon in online chat, and I can’t really say who’s the best battler in my family lol.

  5. Speaking of connecting. Could anyone share their friend code? In desperate need of some different types in the safari.
    Mines 1805 – 2509 – 7099.
    Thanks

  6. I am not connected at all, because I have no time and my friends around here, the very few who actually play Pokémon, still don’t have the game. One of my friends is getting it this weekend, though. My brother’s Pokémon are way stronger than mine, because he spends all of his time on the DS, playing Y. I, however, still play the Gen 5 games along with X. As for the friends list though, I have 29 or something friends. I don’t dare battle any of them, because my Pokémon are sadly underleveled

    Reply
  7. I don’t really know any other people who play pokemon except for my brother (who’s 25…and has a PhD)
    I would like to know some people who play but I’m that bothered tbh

    Reply
  8. I try to be connected most of the time. I have nearly 30 friends on my friends list. I don’t always trade and battle but when I do I make sure it’s epic. i make sure the battles are intense but fun. My friends and I bring up our battles somehow everyday. If you lived in my block and walked around with your 3DS some people would point to my house and say ” That’s where our strongest Pokémon Trainer lives!”

  9. Can I ask what the big deal about Protean is? I really don’t like it, but I was wondering of I should try it out and then judge. Because, other than the rare Toxic Spikes or Shadow Sneak Greninja, fighting seems to hit almost every set i’ve seen. How have Protean Greninja worked for you guys?

    Reply
      • I see. I have a few Protean Froakie, including the Toxic Spikes one i got in a trade today, and I was wondering if it was even worth working on, as I have my Toxic Spiker for now, until Ithsme gets his wifi back.

        Reply
    • It means every move you use has stab, it’s good on pokemon who have a wide move pool since it gives them many types to counter

      Reply
      • Yeah, but the only moves i see on Greninja are Grass Knot, Spikes, Dark Pulse, Hydro Pump and Ice Beam, non of which resis or are immune to fighting, so i never really saw the gimmick of it. Yes everything has stab, but you become monotyped, which really is a downside to me.

        Reply
    • Protean makes you get stab from every move you use because you turn into that before you use it. Nature:Timid item:Life orb
      252 speed and s.attack
      U turn
      Hydro pump
      Ice beam
      Dark pulse

      Reply
      • see, That’s not very good to me. Because it’s easily countered by fighting and Pursuit users. Pursuit damages U-turning Greninja, and fighting moves tear it apart otherwise.

        Reply
        • But you see you only turn into a singular type so as long as you didn’t use dark pulse on a pokemon with a fighting type move you’ll be fine and if still haven’t convinced you how good it is then I’ll battle you tomorrow.

          Reply
          • Yeah, but Ice beam makes you weak to fighting, and Hydro Pump makes fighting neutral on you, and with Greninja’s terrible defense, Most fighters would tear him apart. Lucario for one, Conkeldurr for another, and his special bulk iisn’t the best, so Aura Sphere Mienshao might also be an issue.

          • Yeah, but extrasensory isn’t very common, and then that makes him weak to ghost, which puts him at risk of being beaten by the ridiculously common Aegislash. Or the way too common Sucker Punch M. Kanga

          • Are you forgetting that he is very fast or he has the ability to switch out? He doesn’t have to fight all of those pokemon -_-

          • True, but priority is priority. Yeah he can switch out, but who says he won’t be your last poke, or you have nothing else that can really handle those two, you know? I try to look at each pokemon as an individual, because if i rely on support too much, and synergy of a team, then my teams go awry, and i do even worse.

          • At the end of the day greninja aint no super man and obviously can’t take out EVERYTHING that’s why you have other pokemon to cover what it can’t

  10. I’m still struggling to find a move for my Talonflame in it’s last slot. It has Flare Blitz, Brave Bird and Steel Wing, I’m just wondering what other move it should have. I was considering my patron Sub, but Talonflame with two recoil moves and substitute would be terrible.

  11. and as for the topic, I’ve only played with a classic original D.S (Not a lite) and I had limited online capabilities, but ever since I upgraded to a 3DS and upgraded to and XL (Totally Worth it) I’ve been connected 24/7

  15. Connectivity? My 3DS friends list is maximized at 100 friends. Before XY I had 0 friends in my 3DS, and the only game I had for it was Super Mario 3D Land. I’d like to see the PSS included in every future game for now on. I like that we can trade/battle with players anywhere without having to go to the downstairs/upstairs of a pokecenter.

  16. L.M.F.A.O!!!!!! Spam list of shame!!!! Dae, please make this a recurring thing!!
    I love the introduction of the pss this generation, and I hope it’s a feature in the next generations. It makes it very fun to battle and trade with anyone around the world because it’s almost effortless. It is also easy to play with your friends thanks to the pss. I was never an online player when playing pokemon, but the fact that I don’t have to go to a pokemon center to play with my friends or others is truly amazing. And can we have a moment of appreciation for that save time?

    2. What would be your team?
    3. What region was your favourite and why
    4. From that region what pokemon did you really like
    5. What mega evolutions would you like to see
    6. What do you think of x and y and how have they tried to bring back nostalgia from gen one?

  19. I love the PSS. It should’ve been added last gen. I think that because the 3DS has a better processor than the DSi they could’ve kept video chat… I also love that we don’t have to leave and re enter a union room to change a team. We can just exit and tap the button. I’m the best player in my family by default! Yay default!

  20. I love the PSS! Battling and trading has been easier than ever, only my Wi-Fi is down. I’m the best in my family (default) and best in my friend group, and even school. AND, I’ve never comp. battled before. There gonna really fear me now!

    • I think Drought Ninetails would mess with Mega Venusaur and Rotom-W a bit unless Venusaur had chlorophyll before the Mega Evolution. For Rotom-W, it would be best used outside the weather.

  22. John Hocker’s Pokémon Thanks-Giveaway LAST CALL

    PLEASE NOTE:
    I have to get off very soon and won’t be on for quite a while today. If people comment back while I’m gone, I will go by who commented first! So, if I don’t response to you pretty quick, please try and look through to see if someone else has reserved the one you wished to have. If no one has and you were first to comment while I’m gone, it’s yours!

    This is the LAST form of reservation that I will be providing. After this, the remaining Pokemon will be fair game to whoever wants them (so tomorrow, if you want all my remaining Sneasels, feel free, etc.) Shroomish and Togepi are in very little supply, so hurry up if you want one!

    Below, I will go through each and every Pokémon available, including gender, nature, IVs, egg moves, etc., so people can pick and choose which one they want.

    What Pokémon are available?

    Togepi, Shroomish, Sneasel, Gastly, Froakie, and Dratini are the six Pokemon that I have in bunches. All have Outstanding potential and at least 4 perfect IVs.

    How do I get one?

    All I need from you is which one you want to reserve. For example, if you like Togepi #6, then comment and say you want Togepi #6. If that one is available, I put you in that slot for that Pokémon.

    This whole thing sounds too good to be true. Where’s the catch?

    There’s no catch! You can give me ANY Pokémon you want. Want to trade me a Bidoof? Cool! How about a Weedle? Just as good! A spare IV Pokémon you have? Fine with me! This Thanks-Giveaway is my way of thanking this community for being awesome.

    I will go Pokemon by Pokemon. I will give notes on things that all Pokemon have (ex. All the Togepi have Serene Grace). Then, I will list each individual Pokémon’s gender, nature, and missing perfect IVs.

    All Pokemon are at LEVEL 1 unless otherwise stated!

  23. I love the PSS, its quite nifty and easy to use, its pretty organized in how it’s setup.
    I have a lot of friends on PSS now because of safaris, battles, etc.
    I don’t want to comment on the chat, what happens there, stays there.
    I’m the best in my family by default since I’m them only one that still plays pokemon .-.

    4. Sure. PokeJungle is the place to go.

    5. Well since PJN is like a family for me, and no one I know plays Pokemon, I would say my rival TCMets.

  33. What do you guys think about this: Every month I make a team, then call it the (Month after) team, then use it the month after, and make a new one. I’ll keep track of wins and losses, so on the last of every month, I’ll put my pokemon’s movesets and all, then I see there stats (wins, and losses) for the month. I’ll call it Ithsme’s Monthly Team. I’ll also do one on one battles to show individual pokemon stats.

Well, my Friends list is full thanks to the great community here 🙂 I’ve enjoyed getting to battle and trade with everyone, it’s simply been a blast! As for the best battlers, I’m gonna give that to Jordin, who’s my Rival on here 😀 And of course regidudeam, who dominates me every time…except that first battle, I’ll always have that saved regi 😉

    @Jordin, If you’re here, http://i.imgur.com/BomRiGg.jpg?1 🙂 She’s Impish nature, Bulletproof, and has perfect HP, Defense, and Speed.

  38. How connected am I? Well before X/Y for the past 5 generations, I never had any friend codes or even anyone nearby with whom to play with (well maybe 1~2 but no more). And now, I have well over 60+ friends in my friend list. I’ve never felt so connected before to the pokemon community, and it’s a great feeling! I don’t battle and trade too often but MUCH more than past generations (Most of the time I’m IV Breeding). Battling? I’ve many more opponents to face, but to me, whether I lose or not doesn’t matter to me. I really wanna see people use unconventional pokemon with unconventional movesets/strategies. I really appreciate that! Nevertheless, my very first battle in X/Y was against TCMets, and it’s probably the one battle that I will always remember!

    Reply
  39. I’ve slowly become more and more connected as the generations go on. I really started getting connected in Gen 4 when I used the GTS, but even then i really didn’t do very much. In Gen 5 I started trading more on the GTS so I could complete the regional Pokedex and I battled once or twice, but nothing really more than that. In this 6th Gen however, I done more than I prolly have every in terms of being connected. I’ve traded a ton on wonder trade and even battled a bunch of people on random match up(not very well I might mention). XD

  40. Back when I started playing I was horribly disconnected because nobody where I live played pokemon, but over the years it’s gotten a lot better as far as the internet roping me into its loving arms is concerned. If I’m online most of the day I’ll usually get a battle or trade or two but If I’m WTing away eggs I can get in a bunch. I’m not super connected, but I’m happy with the level that I’m at. I have a decent friend list as well thanks to dA and tumblr! (Ps if anyone has a ditto or frogadier safari drop me a line!)
    Locally speaking it is me. I am the battle queen. Don’t be fooled though because I’m actually really bad haha.

  68. So im at 750 amauras hatched (and still no shiny ;-;)
    What I think ill do is ill full up amaura’s in the rest of the empty boxes (my total would be 840 eggs), and if I don’t get a shiny then ill release all the amaura’s and fill up a couple boxes with eggs, go to lumoise & do the coin trick (probably w/a piece of paper though). I’ll hatch those 150, and i’ll repeat until I get a shiny
    Does that seem like a good plan? :3

    Reply
  69. So im freaking right now.
    I just hatched my shiny amaura (ice white! :D) after 792 eggs
    when I saw it my body just shuddered and I sat there for a good 30s staring at it
    I can post a pic if you want :3

  88. Is Breloom usable without Spore? Because I have no way of getting a Heart scale to reteach it Mach Punch or Spore, as Tierno wants to see a Pokemon with LUnar Dance. And unfortunately, I do not have a Cresselia yet

  95. I think the elite four member Caitlyn is asleep when you battle her, I use my zoroark transformed into my lucario and she spammed psychic and it doesn’t affect zoroark, not only that I used his signature move 3 times and spammed dark moves that lucario can’t even use, the AI In black and white 2 are so stupid

  100. I wish in the next pokemon game, they make the elite 4 gradually stronger, that is what made the elite 4 really hard in the first 4 gens.

  101. I’ve been noticing people on the PSS have been saying “SV” then a collection of four numbers. Apparently it means Shiny Value and if you have the same as someone else, trading them your egg will result in an instant shiny. I, for one, think it’s too much abuse for a mechanic but then again it would make my Shiny Scyther search MUCH easier…
