I assume you're talking about a notch in the tail? Males have whole tails, females have a V-shaped notch in the tail.

A lot of times they learn different moves now. So, uh, until we get some more information you might as well flip a coin.

Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.

Not really. Just plow on through the main storyline, it is a Pokemon game. The only one that ever really had a challenge was Gen II's grindy level balance and the Miltank of Death in the third gym.

Edit: For fucks sake I got really unlucky with this download. Also, hearing the *shink* *ding-ding-ding!* of the animation while my 3DS downloads for over an hour is starting to get obnoxious.

It's also a glutton for EXP, leveled up twice when Chespin got taken out because of a minor new move snafu.

No backups. Game just dead ends before the first menu if you don't have the current save.

All this stuff is new to me, I thought it was supposed to be simple to move stuff from one SD card to another. Downloading game now, have a larger card on order, does this mean I can't transfer my game and saves to the new card when it arrives?

Transferring works fine. Made sure to check that before messing with saves. You just can't juggle saves using SD cards.

Let's hope this trend continues with event Pokemon. Literally the only reason I even bought a DS Action Replay is because I don't have the time or interest to snipe every goddamn Pokemon event. Much easier to just hack yourself a Liberty Ticket.

Alright, it's time for irrelevant questions: does idling on the title screen of super training with the default bag actually help you grind towards getting more bags? I know idling will increase progress on specific punching bags, but I don't think I'm getting any more bags through the idle punches.
Also, I assume that you only hit the punching bag when you're on the super training tab proper, right? I can't idle grind punching bags in the background while I have PSS up or anything, right?

Progress is for speedrunners. Explore every nook and cranny, battle every trainer, don't stop with captures until you think you have everything available in the area. Then walk around for another minute just to be sure.

For anybody interested about Vivillon patterns:

This guide appears to be correct. I set my location to Michigan and my Spewpa evolved into a polar Vivillon.

So as long as you set you region before you start the game, you can somewhat control what you pattern you'll get.

Haha don't feel bad. I'm pretty OCD in every area when it comes to training every member of my team and collecting all items and completing all tasks.

So amazon still hasn't shipped my copy. Unless some magic happens, this will be the first time I have ever preordered something from them and had it not show up on release date. Is it worth dealing with their support over?

I have free Prime from being a student; there's nothing to refund. I just wouldn't have ordered from them at all had there been any indication that this would be the sole exception to the "you get your item on or even before release date" thing Amazon's had going on for the last few years for me.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. :3:

Rolled into the first gym with my Fennekin, a Pidgey, and a Spewpa. Caught a whole mess of things, though. There's a ton of early-game variety that I'm not used to! Does Spewpa just not eat? She didn't seem to want any puffs. :(

Can't wait to see what her pattern will be in Vivillon form. Not reading anything about who gets what. I've seen the colors, I'm kinda hoping for default Meadow, but there are so many good ones...
