Pokemon X and Y (SPOILERS THREAD)

[The Real Gamer]

Mega Scizor... Yeah everything else is pretty much ****ed.

Riddle where are you getting Rocks from? Mega Scizor has access to SR somehow?

 

[Knight Dude]

Spoiler

Mega Scizor is gonna **** you up

He does look pretty cool. His Mega form came out better than Heracross' did.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

It's just Dark Magician.

By the way, in terms of moveset changes, Flareon apparently gets Flare Blitz now!

I'm surprised Dragonite and Salamence Mega Evolutions haven't been found yet, I would assume they would get the same treatment as the other Psuedos. And I'm still hopeful for a Yanmega Mega Evolution, maybe making it Bug/Dragon like an actual dragonfly.

has every pseudo-sans goodra got it though? i don't think haxorus does

sorry i was just talking with friends about it

still he probably has some other useful utility. i'mma go dig through his movepool to see if it's not all offense all the time.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Metagross is a Psuedo and also doesn't have a Mega.

Not gonna lie I'm pretty jealous of the plethora of people playing the game already.

12 hours to go

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

12 hours 16 days to go for me

 

[The Real Gamer]

16 days...? Might I ask why so long? lol

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

because i'm hoping i get it for my birthday and that's 16 days away

 

[Fluttershy]

btw has anyone noticed on the serebii site they have houndour and houndoom on x exclusive but have mega houndoom as a Y exclusive with the item being available in Y?

 

[Reizilla]

It might be like Tyranitar and Aggron where their stones are in the game they're not catchable in.

 

[Kazyx]

btw has anyone noticed on the serebii site they have houndour and houndoom on x exclusive but have mega houndoom as a Y exclusive?

I did notice that. It's also the other way around for Mega Manectric (Y exclusive with the Mega Stone being in X). This could be to force trades between the two versions. Not sure how I feel about this oddball discovery, though I will admit I'm liking all the Megas now. They've either grown onto me, or I liked them from the get-go. Plus, knowing that only one can be used per side in a battle is nice.

Only thing bugging me about the stones is there isn't an X and Y version of every single Mega confirmed. However, I doubt they would as that would be overkill. Surprised that there's only been the Mega Mewtwo as the only confirmed Legendary-based Mega Stones. Figured there'd be more of them.

 

[Fluttershy]

that's a bit strange

 

[The Real Gamer]

because i'm hoping i get it for my birthday and that's 16 days away

Ahhh the classic "wait until my birthday to get free stuff" plan... Smart move.

 

[Circa]

Supposedly the thing they did with Houndoom and Manectric is also happening with Aggron and Tyranitar. Xgets Aggron but Y gets the mega stone, and vice versa for Tyranitar.

 

[Fluttershy]

my birthday was a couple days ago so I'll be getting getting it on launch regardless i did pre order it a while back and paid off 15 of the total

 

[Reizilla]

Anyone with knowledge of GameStop policy, if I preordered both games there, but I only want to get 1 after all, can I transfer the funds from one game onto the other?

Mega Porygon Z confirmed, ****ing SpAtk out the ass

Spoiler

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Mega Porygon Z confirmed, ****ing SpAtk out the ***

Spoiler

I made that joke on Serebii

and boo you, mega porygon-Z is my most wanted mega

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Well its out so we can find the rest of the mega forms in the game since we already discovered all of the new pokemon (unbelievable theres only 3 new legends created)
(Ps i don't own a 3ds)

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Skull Bash's damage was increased to 130

That's better than Giga Impact technically and takes the same amount of turns...assuming you can survive that long

Skull Bash always confused me why it would take 2 turns

 

[Fluttershy]

i got my copy starting epic journey now

 

[Circa]

I either got very lucky in mine or they've adjusted gender ratios for starters.

Female Fennekin. :x

 

[The Real Gamer]

3 and a half hours into the game so far...

First impressions:

THE GOOD
- Underestimated how gorgeous the graphics were screenshots really don't do this game justice.
- Reviewers weren't kidding when they said the standing and battle animations really bring your Pokemon to life; they look fantastic and really help give each Pokemon their own personality.
- EV/Super Training is EXTREMELY useful... Was able to fully EV train my lvl 6 Chespin (252 atk/def and a bit of speed for killing my rival's Froakie) in about 2 hours and I was actually having fun while doing it. Won't go into details but EV training the rest of my team won't take nearly nearly as long as it did for Chespin. Only downside is that my Chespin pretty much steamrolls everything with his superior atk/def but who cares cause he's a boss by nature.
- There are Pokemon up the ass this time around... I've already caught over 15 different Pokemon in just 2 routes.

THE BAD
- Story and rivals seem very bland so far.

Overall I can't freaking wait to keep playing! Too bad I have school work up the ass and won't be able to play again till later tonight.

A surprising amount of people are getting female fennikens

BUT other have had to soft reset over and over to get one.

It's just some sort of bizarre luck I think

i found a pikachu with a light ball on the first one i found

edit i have a male fennekin

fully EV train my lvl 6 Chespin in about 2 hours

So more than half your playtime has been EV training?

 

[Circa]

I was starting to worry that doing a Nuzlocke of this game was going to be really easy.

Then a Fletchling three levels under my Caterpie Tackled it for a third of its health and it died. >_<

 

[The Real Gamer]

So more than half your playtime has been EV training?

Yeah I didn't even mean to do it for that long it just kinda happened. Once I started I got hooked and couldn't stop. The minigames are pretty fun and I realized if I fully EV trained my Chespin it would save tons of time in the future for EV training everything else so I figured "might as well just grind it out now."

It's just some sort of bizarre luck I think

Speaking of bizarre luck my Chespin came out to be Impish on the first try (most preferred nature). That's a 1 in 25 chance in happening... Even less when you consider my preferred gender was male as well.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

A few (major) story spoilers:

Spoiler

Team Flare wants to use an "ultimate weapon" that was used in a war around 3,000 years ago in order to cleanse the world and make it beautiful.

In order to do that, one of the things they need is the life energy from Pokemon, and they use these stones on Route 10 which normally give out energy, and reverse them, making them suck life energy from the Pokemon on the route, presumably killing them.

Yeah...it's unsettling.

[#HBC | Laundry]

well apparently pokemon is becoming less subtle about its underlying incredibly dark moments

 

[john!]

i just caught a shiny lunatone :D

 

[Vashimus]

I either got very lucky in mine or they've adjusted gender ratios for starters.

Female Fennekin. :x

Every Poke I've caught so far is female, including both the starters. Vash's Angels!

 

[yoonb]

It seems like shiny Pokemon are definitely easier to be caught.

Also, in other news, like how there is a new move that sets up weather for Electric types, they also have added one for Grass type, too.

 

[Pyra]

I wish MY Fennekin was a female :I

 

[Circa]

Apparently a friend of mine ran into a shiny Pidgey before he even got Pokeballs (I'm assuming he didn't bother to check out anything in the first town).

I laughed hysterically.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Yeah quite a few people on Serebii have said they've found shinies early as well.

I think GF heightened the encounter percentage... Not that I'm complaining. 5 generations of Pokemon and I've only seen ONE shiny. >.>

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I spent 2 (Mostly non connected) hours trying to get a good nature for my Froakie and still ending up settling for an ok one

 

[mood4food77]

I either got very lucky in mine or they've adjusted gender ratios for starters.

Female Fennekin. :x

apparently starter gender ratios are 50/50 this gen

 

[Circa]

I've personally seen two, and both were in my file of Diamond where I clocked close to 700 hours.

My first was a Gloom (interesting fact! Gloom was also the first shiny I ever got in Pokemon Rumble) and my second was a Bidoof.

I haven't gotten to the 2nd gym yet to affirm my skepticism, but this game is either really freaking easy to get overleveled in or the gyms feature some crazy as hell level spikes. I'm personally hoping that it's the latter, as this will be the most disappointing Nuzlocke ever if it isn't the case.

It's just so easy thus far. I haven't lost anything since the Caterpie, and I've only had one battle thus far where anything was even slightly threatened. And I have way too many goddamn Pokeballs. I found myself not even caring that it took four to catch Snorlax.

Interesting fact! Despite how plentiful each route happens to be with Pokemon, everything that's happened to be the first in the route for me has been either Normal, Psychic, or Poison. Considering I chose Fennekin and Bulbasaur as my two starters and Pidgey was the first thing I caught that managed to live beyond level 10...no bueno.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Berry patches really ARE back! I loved planting berries as a daily routine in gen 4

I hacked to get them in gen 5 because the pots weren't cuttin it
