A new patch has just (well, ‘just’) gone live, fixing several things for Pokémon X and Y. You can download it on the eShop now and it is required if you want to do online. The change log is as follows:
Patch 1.2
- Fixes an occasional bug causing Pokémon not to learn new moves after evolving through Wonder Trade.
- Fixes an occasional bug where certain captions for Trainer PR Videos were not unlocked in Lumiose City.
- Updates an Internet communication issue.
What Internet communication issue are they talking about? Well, it fixes the data snooping, essentially killing both Battle Analyser and Instacheck. If you didn’t know about them, Battle Analyser allowed you to see your opponents move sets and even the move they selected that turn before you selected yours. Instacheck allowed you to see the Shiny Values of your Pokémon, essentially making you put some effort into shiny hunting again. So for all those cheaters out there: too bad!
It’s currently unknown if the update will stand the test of time but we know for sure Gamefreak is doing all they can to ban ‘illegitimate’ practices. Now we only have to wait for the patch that fixes the barren endgame.

Oh my, Mario Kart 8 looks incredible O_O And Baby Mario is back as a playable character, woo hoo ga ga! 😀
i want it so bad:( all of the babies are back:D and rosalina:p
I’m gonna try breeding a few perfect Trapinch if anyone wants one.
If you get a trapinch with perfect speed and atk can you give me one?
I’ll be breeding them with perfect HP, Attack, Defense, Special Defense, and Speed. I have two parents with 5 IVs 😛
Great! What pokemon you want?
Do you have any Beldum with good IVs? If not, I’ll take anything 😛
I have a lot of adamat beldums, but with random IVs
Ready to trade when you are 🙂
Ok, i’m online now
Thanks!
You’re welcome 🙂
Meee! 4 iv magic guard Abras if you’re interested.
You have a female one with IVs including Special Defense? I have a male with everything but that xD
Yup!
Awesome! What’s your FC? Don’t think I have you.
4441-8622-5952
3609-2282-7971. I’ll trade in 30 minutes approx. 🙂
Hmm, this is tempting. Haven’t really used Flygon since Gen 3. Just quickly looked through its moveset to see what it can do. What nature are they?
Jolly 🙂
Ability?
It gets Levitate as Flygon always xP
For some reason I thought it also had sheer force but then I remembered that’s just Trapinch.
Ah, good! I was thinking either Jolly or Impish. I may have to take you up on this offer later (I’m at work at the moment)
Okey dokey! 😀
What would you want in return? I just finished up breeding Nidoran, so I got a couple of those sitting in my PC, along with a bunch of other stuff
Got any Nidoran male with perfect IVs? :O If not, anything’s good 😛
I hatched mine last night 😛 I do have one… but it isn’t the hidden ability. I could go through a few more batches (Earthen traded me his HA so I could breed and wants a NidoranF) to see if I get lucky with another 😀
That’s alright, too much extra work for you 😛 Actually, do you have any leftover female Sneasel from your giveaway? I have a male Sneasel with Icicle Crash, but nothing good to breed it with lol.
I’ll have to check when I get home, but I more than likely should. If not a newly hatched one, I always keep the Pokemon I used in the breeding process
Lemme know later 😀
Heck yes.
What would you care for?
Yus! Celebi distribution!
I hope i can get a celebi with a good nature
just keep soft resetting. it should be easy since non-breedable pokes come with 3 ivs of 31 now
Same here, modest or timid
If it gets Petal Blizzard I’ll be going for Jolly/Adamant
I’m assuming it will
I’ll probably be going timid since energy ball got a boost to .
wait what seriously??? how much?
To 90 BP.
guess ill go for timid then lol
I prefer a more defensive celebi, probably calm or careful
Are you not going to go for a defensive one? I thought Celebi works better defensively
celebi can honestly play so many roles. its soo good.
I know but with moves like Leech Seed, Recover and Heal Bell, it just scream defensive Pokemon to me…oh well, to each their own I guess.
Although I guess it gets Leaf Storm, and Psychic as good attacking move
I was thinking of either a support role with bold/calm or modest/timid with nasty plot
with 7 weakness the last thing celebi could be is stalling but could help with leech seed and heal bell
Yeh, I was thinking as a support role. Plus even with 7 weaknesses, it resists attack likes Earthquake, Close Combat and Hydro Pump, and is immune to Spore, Leech Seed. Granted Talonfalme is wrecking shit at the moment, Celebi will not appreciate that.
The great thing is, you can still get it even if you only download the free trial version!
Yup, it’s really nice of Game Freak
Wow, that was an amazing Nintendo Direct. I am extremely excited for next years games!
What’d I miss? I had a revelation about my next poke to train!
they not officialy announce the year of rosalina:p
Who?
the chick who suddenly is appearing in every mario game
The chick everybody loves.
the chick whose mother dies:(
???
dont you know:O rosalina mother is dead:(
:0
“I want to go home! I want to go home right now!” The girl burst into tears, and the Lumas didn’t know what to do. “I want to go home! I want to go back to my house by the hill! I want to see my mother!” The girl was shouting now, her face wet with tears. “But I know she’s not there! I knew all along that she wasn’t out there in the sky! Because…because…”
“She’s sleeping under the tree on the hill!” The girl’s cries echoed through the stars, and a hush fell over the area.
My god…
It has obviously been a whole since I’ve played a “recent” Mario game.
Nintendo is finally making my dream game of Hyrule Warriors. My excitement can barely be contained!
Hey guys, I havent been on as much as I’d like to here, been busy with school and work, but would someone be ablento help me evolve a shiny pumpkaboo I caught today? That would be great!
If nobody else has, I’ll do it in 15.
Ok, thanks! Here’s my fc:4785-5493-7931
3609-2282-7971
I get why Celebi is being distributed. Celebi’s the Time Travel Pokemon, and you transfer Pokemon from BW/B2W2 to XY. XY take place in the future (don’t know how many years from B2W2). Well played GF, well played.
I might be thinking too hard into it too, but it may also be a hint at the next game(s) to be using a time machine as well. All the 3,000 year old mentions in the Xy story, and then theirs that letter Sycamore left at the train station “to my future self”
Could be. I remember back before XY were released that it was speculated that time travel would be involved in XY. It wasn’t, but maybe in the next games.
Not Pokemon related, but Nintendo Direct related…
DR. LUIGI!!!!!
OMG….spasming Rosalina in smash bros….mario cart looks AMAZING…..CELEBII!!! And Link action game o_O
I have your Trapinch. Want a nickname? 🙂
nope I’m good! xD Do you still have chansey?
What Chansey?
I don’t remember if you gave it back but I gave you my chansey with counter aromatherapy and seismic toss
Oh, the one from Wonder Trade xD Yeah, I should have that in the PC box somewhere 😛 But I gave you the other Chansey with the Ability, moves, and IVs I thought?
DId you? Hmm don’t remember, lemme check
Oh yeah you did xD…I can’t remember stuff xD
LOL 😛
Thank you! xD
Thank you as well 😀
Name it Dave.
who wants to battle?:)
I can. But IDK if we’re friends.
My FC: 5412-9983-7936
add me:) 1332 8095 9996 sorry to answer late i was in a battle:p
Ooooh battles :3
Added. It’s alright. We can battle now if you’d like.
sure send the invite my ign is marcos
we are never online on the same time:( lol tomorrow maybe
Sorry for the late reply. I’ve seen you online, but you’ve been busy. I stopped playing earlier, but I’ll be online again sometime soon.
I’m here again! multi?
I’ll join a multi after the trade if you are still able to! My ign is Flynn
Ok! just adding you now!
Already added apparently.
Can’t, haven’t added me yet 😛
Ill do it now 🙂
Done!
Thanks!
No thank you! Its hard catching shinies that require trade to evolve, but im glad I find a community with truatworthy people!
This community is pretty good, not gonna lie 😀
Ugh… I hit 965 Mawile Eggs and no shiny yet.
Hit something over 2000 Beldum eggs (lost count) still no shiny 🙁
Oh man… This feels like my first failed Masuda. Interestingly enough I got a couple of Perfect IV Mawiles so far so that’s good.
That’s nice. Breeding with fire fang?
All Fangs, but Poison Fang.
I only have fire fang to deal with steel types.
I’m still here if anyone cares.
Ugh, hate BP grinding
Battle institute or maison?
In the maison doing regular singles for the 48 bp, then i’ll go to the institute for the other 30 ish
Maison is fairer but not as fast with BP but institute is pretty quick but sometimes you don’t get the full 15 BP because they suck and run trick toxic orb Metagross.
Actually, I usually get 13-14 bp per session so i’ll “only” have to do about 5 sessions. Off to the institute
Yay for weird strats!
is not even fun:( at least in BW2 you were fighting your favorite champions and gym leaders
Now you fight a bunch of uber users who counter team you.
and hate new pokemon like lumineon i hate lumineon after battle maison
I hate Cresselia after the battle institute.
Yep, and you got 1bp per wifi battle. It was so much easier
atleast they gonna give us free BP in pokebank
Are they?
for every pokemon you transfer they are gonna give you 1bp or pokemiles you decide
:O ill just trade over a bunch of patrats then
I don’t think it works like that. You can choose BP or miles to receive as INTEREST like a REAL BANK.
Can we get a tourney date and rules please?
I would like to know that info to!
*too ;-;
Hello grammar Nazi. I haven’t met you in a while because I thought you had something better to do with you life.
So dead…
I’m here!
:O Another person who totally isn’t me!
So, who’s your favourite pokemon?
Umbreon of course!
Really? Mine to 😀
Well that’s brilliant Star but you should probably stop talking to yourself or you’ll look weird.
I already am!
okay?
Yes, yes I am.
I don’t mean to intrude, but if you need help, I’m here for you.
Thank you :,)
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Did you see the DIRECT?!
And triple deluxe was cool as well.
Perfect Trapinch named Dave is what you want? And do you have any Phantump with Harvest? If not, could trade me anything 😛
TC let me just find the S.def one.
I don’t have one, but for you, I will get one.
That’s ok, no need to go through the trouble for one 😛 I can trade whenever you can 🙂
I have your dead stump.
Oh that’s awesome! 😀 Thanks 😀
Do you want it now?
Finally grinded enough bp for toxic orb and razor fang 😀
another gliscor user, gliscor everywhere._.
If you can’t beat em’, join em’! XD
Or just Ice beam them.
they gonna protect and then substitute and then toxic and then earthquake._.
You be faster
i was thinking about a scarfed chandelure with energy ball
Neutral damage and no STAB.
Plus, one EQ and you’re a goner
it will outspeed him and probably ohko him if not i will use fireblast
Skarmory
skarmory doesnt hit hard:(
Why would you hit gliscor? Free spikes and whirlwind. Use the opportunity to wreak the rest of his team.
TO REVENGE KILL, fabian tried that strategy against me but it didnt work for him cause i leech seed and burn him so every hp i lost in spikes i regain it:p
You should face my skarmory then xD
no, you scare me and i dont have any rapid spinners or defog users:p
I dare someone to use leech seed or will-o-wisp on my skarmory :p
pranksters users says hi:p
magic guard says hi :p
John says hi 😛
Hi John! XD
or worse, one day i fought against a magic coat smeargle ULTIMATE TROLL:'(
Out speed with something?
froslass but froslass is so fragile and i can never hit it:(
Greninja.
But trolling physical attackers like kangaskhan and garchomp is worth it
Very
That is literally why I have my newest member. It’s specifically for Gliscor. Might as well name it “Bye Gliscor”
Greninja? Nidoking?
Nidoking. It’ll be used for other purposes, but my main motivation was Gliscor
I was thinking of breeding nidoking too, but the average speed and ok bulk doesn’t seem very good on paper
I’ll have to let you know if mine is a success or not lol. I’m going for Timid Sheer Force Life Orb with max SpAtk/Speed
Sounds good
I know right…
I love my Gliscor.
Todays Nintendo Direct is even more interesting than I previously thought. Apparently Nintendo may be hinting at a new game in the works in the SSB4 Rosalina trailer. At least I hope so.
SMG3?
No. The music in the first 30 seconds of the trailer is the music from the intro of Kirby’s Air Ride.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pcpqi36_s48&list=SP40AA1B28939CF023
on MK8 trailer the last 30 sec is Gusty Garden Theme:D
Kirby air galaxy kart!
Or Kirby’s Air Ride 2. PLEASE NINTENDO!
I would put my ps4 on the back burner for all of 2014 if its true…
Make it happen!
ROSALINA?!!?!?
Alright theres no doubt about it. Super Mario Galaxy 3 is fricken happenng!
Here’s a trailer for you. What I am hoping for (besides SMG3) is that since the first thirty seconds of the trailer have Kirby racing to the sound of the intro music to Kirby’s Air Ride Nintendo may be hinting at a second one.
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/18/watch-rosalina-action-new-super-smash-bros/
Honestly in the beginning of the trailer, I thought Kirby was gonna be in Mario Kart 8 XD.
Did you see Roar of Time in the trailer? 😀
Yup, I like the crystal effect in the end! xD
can you guys give me a rundown of the direct?
These seem relevant to me:
Zelda action game called hyrule warriors (Not Zelda U, a spinoff) o_O
Rosalina in SSB
Celebi give away at pokebank launch
Mario Kart 8 releases in Spring 2014
the zelda news really disapoints me…
Zeldu U is still being developed though.
Wait, Zelda U is not this dynasty warriors crap?
No this is a separate game. They are gonna release Hyrule Warriors first and then Zelda U, but they haven’t annouced the released date for it yet.
Zelda u connfirmed?
Zelda U was already confirmed though! xD Aonuma keeps taking about the development of Zelda U since it’s announcement in January 2013 xD
*talking
The anticipation is killing me! the main reason I got my PS4 was to hold me off until Zelda U and Galaxy 3 are released!
Yeah, even for me. I’m really awaiting for Super Smash, Zelda u, and SMT X FIre Emblem. xD
If they ever bring up SMT X FE again. (THEY BETTER …)
With Sega letting Atlus do its own thing I bet there will be more information, if not… *Eyes glare evilly as I reach for my sword*
*aims AZ’s weapon at SEGA*
Yeah, a game not even created by nintendo is the next main zelda game
*proceeds to devour iPad in rage*
Complete opposite for me.
DK tropical freeze MK8 monster hunter Zelda dr Luigi triple deluxe golf Celebi Rosalina in smash 4.
new zelda
the creator of the first yoshi island will help in the new yoshi island
donkey kong release in feb 21 i think
MK8 new courses: airport, dry bowser castle, bowser sky battleships, and a temple like course. the babies(even baby daisy) and rosalina returns
SMB4 rosalina
Everyone forgot about the NES remix
Oh yeah. I like the backwards Mario bro stage.
(Not in order) New characters for MK8 including babies and Rosalina, Rosalina in Smash, Hyrule Warriors (think link in Dynasty Warriors), new trailers for 3DS Yoshi’s Island and Kirby, Dr. Luigi, free Celebi for joining PokeBank, and some other stuff I do not remember.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate It!
Anyone want to battle?
yes!
Cool
can we have a multibattle after your battle?
Yup!
yay:D i have a new strategy and i wanna test it
same.
Ready?
Yup!
Sure!
Can i participate?
yup!
yes:D we already have the 4 members with you thanks:)
Everyone should probably take note that Hyrule Warriors is not the Wii U Zelda that Nintendo has been teasing. This is a spin off being co-developed by Tecmo Koei (The guys who made Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, etc.) We are still getting another Zelda anouncement at E3.
:O
:B
XD I will was surprised too
GG! Holy Arceus your Crawdaunt is OP!
Yup XD
knockoff?
Crabhammer
=(
