Final annoying WHERE IS THIS MON question: finally ran into a trainer with a Helioptile and apparently it can be found on route 9. I backtracked and I'm running back and forth but I got nothin' but Hippos. Do I just have to be patient or am I in the wrong place?

There's nothing worse than planning out a team in your head and then realizing none of the pokemon can use fly.

Seriously Vespiqueen, why can't you learn that. If I can ride on a pidgy why can't I ride on you :sigh:

Perhaps it is too easy to ask this, but is there a Pokemon in X/Y that can learn both False Swipe and either a sleep or paralysis move?

I wonder if Lt. Surge has 8 different Raichus that were all evolved at different levels so that they have better moves...

Like, if you fight him with 8 badges, he has a Raichu with Volt Tackle and Thunder?

I scanned the first post in the thread but didn't see anything on this. Does this game finally support more than 1 save file? I've always thought that was incredibly infuriating that even the DS games only had the one.

Anybody know what in all Mega Launcher effects. I'm in a toss up between Charmander and Squirtle, so I want to know if the ability powers up more than two weak moves.

VV Edit: Well, yeah. It's always had Pickup as an ability.

After completing the game, your can find your rival in the post-game town. Fight them and you'll get Absol's Mega Stone as a reward.

Know if there's anything special to trigger it? Looked around that town and didn't find it.

EDIT: Nvm, figured it out. Only shows up if the game clock is on a friday, or maybe just a day has to pass

Nope, they'll appear by the pond at the top of town. When I first arrived in town they weren't there, but then I waited a day and there he was.

They never intend to, because they want you to buy both versions. There are plenty of ways to store your guys if you want to start a new game, and an official one coming soon. Or you can be pissy about nothing. Up to you

Can you go into detail about the non-official ways to store your guys? I'm assuming it's more than just trading all your Pokemans to an older game...

Speaking of which, does anyone know if there's a way to get ROM saves so I can flash GBA titles into my CycloDS Evo instead of having a GBA cart hanging out of my DSl?

How do you guys handle your current party? Do you use up all six slots with permanent members, just a few, or do you switch everybody out all the time?

Also, is exp share going to make the campaign too easy? I want to play around, catch poo poo, and take my time but I also don't want to steamroll every gym leader because I spent too much time "grinding".

Turn it off when things get too easy, put it back on when you start slipping behind the curve. Worked pretty well for me so far.

Levels are a bit higher later on to compensate. The pokemon league's pokemon were in like, the 60s or so. I had 3 70s and a few low 60s when I got there and didn't have too much trouble, but didn't completely steamroll it either.

Do they ever mention Pokemon-Amie and Super Training in-game?? I would never have realized I had access to them if I hadn't read the manual

I don't even want to touch them, really, it's just a bit odd that for a game series filled with hyper-detailed tutorial sequences for easy poo poo they go without saying.

I had heard it was about space issues. A single caught Pokemon has the following data, and I'm probably missing some:
-Species
-Level
-Gender
-Personality Value
-6 IVs
-6 EVs
-OT
-Level and place caught
-Ribbons
-Held Item
-Happiness
-Shiny Y/N
-Hidden stuff (unique IDs etc)
-Moves known
-stuff like PP Up
-Nickname
-Ball it was caught in

That seems like a lot to store a whole lot of times, not to mention the actual save data (location and progress etc).

Finally got Mawilite, and drat it, it was worth the wait. Mega Mawile kicks so much rear end. She gets a huge defence boost (from 170 defence to 250), some more points into attack and, most importantly, the Huge Power ability. She's tearing through everything.

Can you tell all the stat differences.

Not sure what the base stats on any mega forms are, but you can check the current stats after transforming by checking the pokemon summary mid-battle.
