I'm just assuming story should be spoilered (Game has only been available for 4 days at most, officially for only 1 day), but info is fine.

Anyway, I'll add you all on my 3DS when I let it charge. Played for 8 straight hours. Need to give it a rest :lol

As for nature, I only really care when it's a hindering one. I don't catch hordes of Pokemon or soft reset 20 times to get a beneficial nature, but I will make an effort if the nature will screw me over (Such as a Pikachu who has a nature that reduces speed).

Is nature that big a deal? I have never really even bothered to look at it.

Also added friend code

Yeah, they boost one stat and decrease another. Though, some have no effect.

They change a Pokemon's stats.

That is something you have there. well it looks pretty important.

Well to be honest, nature is never really that important for the single-player component. It is significant for the competitive gaming, but in that case you'd want to breed Pokémon to get the right abilities and natures so it's a larger process than just getting the right one.

I usually just catch whatever Pokémon I like for the story itself, then maybe, just maybe if I'm determined enough I really raise one or two properly.

Natures, Evs and Ivs are the reason i can never win online.

So I am officially joining the Pokemon community, convinced Mom and Dad to get the Red Y 3DS XL and Pokemon Y, gotta wait until christmas but at least I can start back up on gaming :D

I found this on Tumblr.

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.

1306-6252-2915 if anyone wants to add my Friend Code.

Yeah I just caught Hawlucha myself to round off my team (Bye Vivillon, it was fun!). Most fun I think I've ever had with a flying type.

Can Inkay learn surf?

My team so far is Frogadier, Charmeleon, Combusken, Fletchinder, Amaura and Riolu. I have way to many Fire types on my team. I will be swapping Fletchinder since I doubt he will be any help in Gym number 2.

Wait till he learns Flying Press it's an awesome move visually. Hawlucha is one of my new favorites.

I have Pokemon X and my team is Quilladin, Wartortle, Floette, Hawlucha, Espurr and Honedge. 4 of them are about to evolve soon. This game will be the reason I'll be on this board less.

My current team:

Fennce, Riolu, Pikachu, Litleo, Comusken, Ivysaur.

Fennce is close to evolving though because I have 3 fire types, Litleo is probably going to be in rotation/storage as soon as it evolves into Pyroar.

It's kinda cool that Pikachu is "voiced" And sounds liek the anime but I kinda miss the old noise he makes and wishes there was an option to switch it out.


wellp I'm an idiot. I got my friend code wrong, so here's the corret one:

2964 9524 3546

My current team.

Rena the Braixen.
Wormy the vivillon.
DragonicLord the Charmeleon.
Oathkeeper the Honedge.
Chuthulu the Inkay.

What can we do with Friend Codes now? I mean besides battling and trading?

I think that's it.

Share PR videos?

You guys have Riolu before the 3rd gym leader?

You could've gotten a Lucario with megastone later on in the story... I was a bit shocked. Anyways, anyone know why the Torchic gift has extra exp boost?

Also my team is currently, Greninja, Charizard, Blazekin, Lucario, Pangoro, and Tyrunt.

....How did you get so strong so fast!

You know one thing I absolutely love about Pokemon X and Y, is how much they combine the old and the new.

The Kalos dex is comprised almost equally of new Generation VI Pokemon and Pokemon from all previous generations, resulting in an absolutely massive regional Dex! This bucks the direction taken since Gen III to focus mostly on the newest Generation.

They weren't kidding when they said they needed to split it into three Dexes. Consequently, Kalos is arguably the most diverse region of all 6 of them, with hundreds of Pokemon to encounter in your travels. Maybe that's why so far it has never been boring wandering in tall grass, because encounters are so different and diverse.

Besides making a region feel much larger than usual, the heavy use of previous generation Pokemon also feel very nostalgic, and is like a message from Game Freak that every generation's Pokemon are appreciated.

My brother won't let me progress until he gets home from work... So i'm stuck in Ambrette town.

I wanted my Pokemons to be all the same exact level, and the EXP share item helped out a lot, but for the most part I really just walked around and level and fighting every single trainer I could.

But... The game just came out yesterday. It blows my mine that people already have strong Pokemon yet mine are still at level 20.

After going to a party last night and some bro-talk, not enough time to play. Here's where I'm at:
Frogadier LV22
Pikachu LV20
Ankh (Fletchinder) LV22
Charmeleon LV22
Combusken LV 25
Hana (Floette) LV 20

I got mine pretty early in the morning... But even then my copy of Pokemon X didn't end up working, so I went to another Gamestop that was in a mall since I had to do some errands. I found out I just needed a memory SD card, but I ended up trading my my old 3DS with and bought a version of X and Y red edition.. So it took me a while before I ended up playing the actual game, I actually played it around 1pm? But I did take a hour breaks in between my game time....So I dunno? I was playing at decent times with breaks, and not rushing through the game.

Just got through reflection cave and my team currently consider of (all lv 34)

Rocket (Pikachu)
Flixxen (Braixen)
Gamera (Wartortle)
Ploof (Floette)
Gabutyra (Tyrunt)
El Birdo (Hawlucha)

As you can see I took the completely unoriginal nicknaming route with my Tyrunt. First time since red/blue I've actually been bothered to nickname my team too.

I think it may be that i have the exp share turned off.

So looking at the nature grid matrix shared, my pancham loses Attack, which for a fighting type is pretty crappy.

So to those in the know, how does this stuff work exactly? Whatever his attack is at the moment is actually 10 percent less than what it could be? And even if I maxed his EV's in attack they'd still be 10 percent down?
