I picked the game up this morning and haven't stopped playing since.

Since I got both x and y gamestop gave me a timeline poster that I laminated to my desk!

So I've made a bit more progress. My Chespin has evolved...and looks ridiculous, I've met the evil team of this game and got a fossil. Still enjoying the game a lot, but my team are becoming ridiculously uneven.

Did the parfum palace thing last night, those grass areas outside are freaking huge!

My team so far is:
bunnelby (will probably drop soon, just want to see if there's a difference in its evolution if it's female)
Quilladin (love the derpy little guy)
Pancham (who did naff all when karate chopping a furfrou 3 levels lower than him =\)
Litleo
Fletchinder
Floette

Also think I might have to start paying attention to natures (maybe more in the post game though)

I have yet to really have a focused team on the game yet, as minus my Quilladin and Combusken I have yet to really meet Pokémon who are useful beyond a single specific situation.

Right now I have my Charmeleon in there who is... largely pretty useless, sadly. But he's one of the gen one starters, I need to keep him. The same was said for Pikachu, until I caught a Helioptile, who beat nostalgia by actually being a useful electric type. Then I have a Golett and a Tyrunt I've not really had a chance to use yet.

I've made some progress. my Fennekin evolved, and I finished the Matrix's house part.

Current team:
Frogadier
Ankh (Fletchinder)
Combusken
Pikachu
Charmeleon
Hana (Flabébé)

My god, this game is incredible. I only have one badge and I already feel like I've done so much. Managed to snag a female Fennekin after only one soft reset too so I'm really happy about that :D

So far my team is (all level 25):
Pikachu
Braixen
Wartortle
Floette
Vivillon
Diggersby

Diggersby has mostly been hanging around because of pickup, but I'm on my way to revive my fossil and switch him out for Tyrunt :D

That's one of the things I've noticed. This game seems like it's huge and full of substance! By this time in Black and White I'd have gotten 3-4 badges already, and now it's just one.

Current team so far:
Frogadier
Charmeleon
Pikachu
Vivillon
Skiddo

Will switch out Vivillon probably, and going to add a Honedge.

Yeah I can't believe I've put in almost seven hours and only got a single badge, im pretty sure I had four badges by this point on white 2. The second gym has an awesome design by the way, and Hawlucha is probably the coolest Pokemon I've ever caught.
