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!

Spamlist of shame
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.
That was beautiful.
Well this place blew up.
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.
Hello!
I do occasional battles or trades with my friends, sometimes with passersby, and tons of Wonder Trades. That sums it up.
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).
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.
Whenever someone says that Pokemon is for lttle kids, I tell them about how Lorde had some friends over and they were talking about Pokemon X & Y.
XD
Yup.
I give them a algebraic formula explaining the type that is determined for hidden power through evs
That works too.
They look back at me and say “damn” and look dissapointed
I also challenge them to give me 5 good reasons for why it’s babyish.
Good idea.
Then, when they’re speechless, go “Bouche!”, and walk away like a boss
are you serious? that just made me love Lorde even more.
Same exact predicament here except no one in my family plays Pokemon anymore except for my 21 year old cousin who is starting to like Pokemon again from since gen 3.
Most of my family plays pokemon
Why gay?
People are idiotic and homophobic. The word is used as a sub for stupid. If you’re gonna use a word atleast use it the right way. Gay=Happy.
You have us :3 xD
Speaking of connecting. Could anyone share their friend code? In desperate need of some different types in the safari.
Mines 1805 – 2509 – 7099.
Thanks
Here’s mine: 0430 8585 9856
I want to exchange codes to. 5198-2479-3654
Do you know your type?
Thanks guys. Will add when I get home. Get no internet in work.
I’m pretty sure mines poison, not the best :/
The sun still has yet arrive, and I have yet to get some sleep.
one does not simply “get sleep”
I’m just scared my mom will get up and beat my ass finding out I’m still up. It’s 4 in the morning.
When nervous about sleep, blame insomnia.
Sleep is for the weak
What is “sleep”?
It’s an ailment that leaves you unconscious for an undetermined amount of time. To this day people still don’t know why… @.@
I just woke up 🙂
Anyone need a herracross friend safari?
Is it a bug or fighting safari. Though I don’t mind either, I just have multiple bug ones already.
Mine apparently has Eevees in it. You want to exchange?
mine: 0430 8585 9856
It’s bug with volbeat and ledbya(they are terrible I know 🙁 )
Here is my fc

It’s fine. I can use a ladyba.
Me and Green posted a lot of ideas to the Pokémon spreadsheet for the fangame. Check ’em out!

GOOMY!!!!

Well, what do you think?
Really cool! Just don’t make a chair pokemon for The sake of this game
We had ice cream, magnets, sludge, binbags, swords(who I actually really like) and a floating thing that can take over home appliences
don’t forget we also had cherries (cherrim), eggs (exeggcute), cocomut/pineapple tree (exeggutor). And the floating appliance is a “motor”, since all of the objects it applies to require a motor to run (and its name is rotor backwards lol).
*’mindblown’*
Can I have permission to access?
Oh is this the game that the turkey pokemon is for?
Ummm… yeah!
Oh I made a submition to that did you wanna see it?
Sure!
I have no idea why it keeps doing it upside down I think the manufacturers are drunk when they made my camera
Cool!
I wanted it to be a farfetched evo but I don’t know really it has no name yet but I have some ideas for it
Grass flying
Turkey pokemon
Ability:thick fat or defiant
Use IAMTHELEAKER’s name: Outland’sh!
That’s a great idea
That’s if it gets used, we’ll have to wait and see
And this looks more like it should have Defiant as its ability. But it could have both.
Cool! It’ll need a wider moveset, though.
Can I have permission to edit?
Sure, i need to add your email to the list, your was the Gabriel something one right?
Hey you guys!
Wassup
Nothing much. Just training my gligar, you?
I’m ev training my noibat, chespin, nidoran and marril
I still need to breed myself an azurill but baby pokemon are so tedious to breed.
What for? Pokedex?
No for competitive battling because I have to evolve them before I can breed them.
Do you want me to breed my adamant marril with huge power? It also has perfect Ivs too
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
The Spamlist of Shame? Oh no…
SHHHHH POKEMONS ON IN 5 MINUTES.
Last episode of Unova?
2nd to last
Ah. Kinda wish they give both already.
Yep.
Cool
never talked with someone about pokemon until now… That’s a good thing, right?
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
I don’t have anybody to play with where i live but Pokejungle is just as good
@command a. Cheez do you want me to try and make some concept art for those pokemon on the spreadsheet?
Sure! I’d like to see if I described it well enough so that others see the same thing I’m seeing.
I did do a lot, though.
This will be dead because noone wants to be on the spamist of shame thing lol
Nah. People will still spam.
Like me
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!”
That must be awesome!
It is especially in the summer when we battle like crazy!
And here I am, my Wi-Fi not working! ITS KILLING ME!
Oh Alexa, clueless as always… (If you’re watching the anime you know what I’m talking about)
Spamlist of Shame, guys were all doomed. The poke apocylypse has come!
I thought it was just a legend!
What? Where?
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
NO PLACE IS SAFE!
