Yeah it's a nice contrast to the gen 5 Gyms, those gyms were incredibly easy but this one actually took a few tries.

My lord is it taking me forever to get a decently natured Fennekin.

:lol I forgot to save so i pretty much got the first Fennekin, which is sad because i was intending to name it Vixen.

Aw, that's a shame.

I just got a Modest one that I'm happy with. Named him (and was afraid it'd be a she when I finally got a good nature lol) Kurama.

What is this about natures? I just picked one. I never thought I'd be able to become a Pokémon noob again.

My starter is Froakie! And I caught a Fletchling and named it Ankh

Oh I've never really bothered with the number game side of things, so I'm not too concerned about this.

X and Y is simply Fabuloso!

It can have an influence on how you perform in the normal game, though... Get a Pokémon that has a lot of special attacks and has good base speed (as I assume Fennekin will be), but its nature lowers speed or special attack or even its defenses if those aren't high... and you won't be dishing out the damage you expect or be taking bigger hits than you can handle. It's not as big of an impact, but it is there.
