Mine was too. So was my friend's. I get the feeling they swapped the gender ratios for fennekins.

So, I found a youngster who asked me why i think he wears shorts, then battles. I won, and


Good. Wouldn't be a pokémon game without you. GOTY.

[Witty observation]
While we're asking about Super Training, is there a definite indication when you've hit the cap on EVs for a certain stat? Has anybody come up with an estimate of how many EVs you can realistically get per session or how many sessions it'd take to max a stat?

I'm enjoying the game so far, I even got a female Froakie on my first try. In fact, everything I catch seems to be female, this game is weird.

Only spent like 30 minutes restarting for a modest fennekin. :smug:

E: Xp on catch is pretty awesome.

Has anyone named their Fennekin firefox yet? Also, does the super-training have the same effect as EV training? It's kind of vague about how much it replaces the regular old EV system (is it still there? Are IVs still around? Did the formulas change? I always hated those hidden mechanics because they were so :spergin:.)

edit: Also let me take off my hat dammit. I hate (most) hats. They're dumb.

edit2:VVV I know right? I'm pumped to be a black guy in pokemon, heck running into my first not-white random trainer was also fun.

Got the game an hour ago, and I haven't left my room oh my god this is going to be a long play. SO EXCITE I AM A BLACK GIRL. GOTY.

Also, this might get lost in the shuffle, but the Gen5 Dream World is back up. If you're trying for the 100+ Medal on B/W2 from it, put the game down long enough to tuck in and run!

You see, Pokemon is an incredibly progressive game...

Everyone talking about getting Female Starters makes me wish I restarted to try and get a Female Chespin, but I've never been super serious about Pokemon. Can you still do the Ditto breeding later on to get eggs of Male Pokemon?

Also there's always trading. And I'm not giving up my shiny Scatterbug NO SIR.

I've gotten a Japanese oddish and a German scatterbug- but I inflicted my Zigzagoon naming conventions on the world at large. Ziggy*Dust the zigzagoon is now happily with another trainer in Japan. :3:

Yeah, you can breed them with a ditto later. Depending on what your goal is it can be preferred if the ditto has better IVs and whatnot.

going? Whaa? Hey! What
are you doing Ronald?

Just jumping in here, but for any other 3DS XL owners playing with the speakers turned full volume; does the audio get...I don't know the technical term. Tinny? Scratchy? I can't play with the volume all the way up at parts because it makes this noise that sounds like some notes in the music are too high or something.

Prime example being the piano song when watching fireworks at that mansion. I have a PikaXL specifically if that helps anything. I'm wondering if it's my XL or just an issue with the game.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
I am a Pokémon trainer now. Got in 15 minutes after Gamestop opened, there were already about 10 people in the store (most of whom were adults), and only one lady wasn't there for Pokémon. One kid's mom even got him both versions. :allears:

Yeah, there was a line of adults for Pokemon at my EB Games when I got my copy too. Dunno who keeps saying it's a kids game, because it's clearly one for adults based on how many are buying it for themselves :colbert:.

Pokemon with a different original trainer ID than yours receive boosted XP.

Froakie + Bulbasaur + event Torchic is what I suspect a fair number of folks have gone with.

Causes them to lose EXP and level down, eventually devolving into a fetus your other Pokémon can eat to gain EV stats
