God, since serebii himself went to sleep the discoveries thread has opened to "other members" of their community for them to share their "important contributions" and they're all pretty lovely, like "there is no PC in the first town, interesting..." And the next post is "I can confirm that there is no PC as well" :smith: I guess no one can really compete with a dude who shows you like 5 new megas back to back though.

Cannot wait till midnight, I'm pretty excited.

Here's a discovery: Not a single Pokémon I've found in the Friend Safari has had its Hidden Ability, despite sources claiming it's possible. I've tried a safari for someone who's currently not playing Pokémon and someone who is. This place is a mystery.

EDIT: Another discovery. Even though Electric types are now immune to paralysis, Stunfisk still has the Limber ability. Oh Stunfisk. :allears:

Sleep now, more Friend Safari tomorrow.

To be fair, I am now super disappointed that I can't grab a potion from my bedroom at the beginning of the game. I hate when they leave that out.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

My local GameStop isn't doing a midnight, I've just learned. I'm going to go to Walmart at midnight. I've never had problems doing this other than the clerks being incompetent and wait times, but I figure the worst case scenario is they don't have it or won't sell it, so ill grab an eShop card instead and let fate determine whether I go physical or not.

I preordered from Meijer so I'm getting it at midnight, plus a $5 gift card towards anything.

E: ^^ Unknown at this time. The new Kalos Pokemon are around 70, there are a ton from the older games, but no one seems to have caught 720 Pokemon yet. Not that you can since the Pokemon Bank isn't open yet.

There's 454 in the regular Pokedex, I believe, with maybe 15-20 exclusives per game. Can anyone speak to whether the national dex has more?

You would think that all the starters would get megaevolitions. Right now with how early on the hacking scene is, it's still possible for them to keep things hidden until they decide to release it. That or all they have to do is push down a V1.1 update with new megaevolutions.

I'm expecting some sort of Fake GTS to come along pretty quickly, and if people get something like that going it's just a matter of editing what Pokemon or item is stored before sending it back :shobon:

The instruction manual specifically mentions you can move it do a different SD card, but as not as a backup file.

Also, are there no Unova megas? That's somewhat surprising to me.


vvv Great, thanks for the quick response.



You can literally just drag and drop all your game files/saves. It's super refreshing after having to deal with the vita memory bullshit.

Would you be able to copy your save onto a computer, start fresh, and then put the old save back when you're done replaying?

I am holding out hope for a Beheeyemite. Anything to make that little alien more powerful.

Whimsicott at least got the Fairy-type, so that's something for Gen V.

The sarcophagus is full of skeletons. The skeletons of your enemies! And the trainer you're fighting just collapses into a pile of flesh. Very messy.
And that is why there is no Cofagrimite.

So I've been dicking about with the Friend Safari, having added a bunch of goons to my friend list, and the kinds of Pokémon I've seen are... interesting. I've compiled a list in the trading thread, but I'll put a more compact one here:

Charmeleon, Wartortle, Pidgey, Abra, Oddish, Doduo, Krabby, Onix, Ledyba, Snubull, Wobufett, Aipom, Forretress, Beatifly, Kirlia, Nosepass, Shuppet, Pansear, Tranquill, Swadloon, Mincinno, Swanna, Ferroseed, Lampent, Spritzee, Swirlix, Dedenee, Phantump, Pumpkaboo

So yeah, it gives out starters and version exclusive. Whether it gives anything but Kanto starters is another question.


Sooo...

Did the Charmeleon or Wartortle have their Hidden Ability?

Okay, having beaten the second gym, I can say for sure the game has thrown out any sense of what was the previous games' though was natural progression. Snorlax, Absol, Sigilyph, Axew, Bagon all catchable before this. Relicanth, Lunatone and Solrock were normal trainer's pokemon in the second gym. I am really enjoying it, though.
