Does anybody know where the move deleter is? Wondertrade permitted a Japanese player to trade me an Espurr with Cut, and while I love the Espurr, I could do without the HM Move.

Oh man I was just kinda idly training the Scatterbug I caught to see what it would evolve into and now it's turned into a cute little head in a fuzzy cocoon. Spewpa is my new favorite.

Now if only she'd learn some attack moves besides tackle...

Hang in there, it follows the early evolver bug type trend where if you somehow manage to get it to 12 you'll be well rewarded. That means having to deal with that whopping 9 attack stat and only having tackle for a while, though.

I love that they have different wing color patterns depending on the region setting of your 3DS, the one I got here down at Mexico has some lovely earthy tones :allears:

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
Does anyone know where the name rater is? I was hunting for a modest compound eyes scatterbug, but since the leaked stats for vivillion may not be perfectly correct I figure I'd settle for a timid one instead.

'Cept it has a dumb name. That's dumb.

I'd say Pursuit. Not many thing have tried escaping outside of the Electric Gym and Volt Switch.

I think right after you try and leave the town to go to the next place.




I'm so glad they finally decided to mix it up with the starter sub-types. I can't believe they did Fire/Fight 3 generations in a row.

Literally as you walk out of the town. Also the second gym is hours after the first. I've already been able to get a team that I can use for the rest of the game and I still haven't reached gym #2.

I can't say I have the personal experience to back it up, but it sounds like you need to wait a day from what people have been saying. Set your clock forward to 11:59 or whatever if you really can't wait.

I also found an Axew in the cave leading to Cyllage City. I put it on GTS hoping someone will trade me a Noibat but I'm not getting my hopes up. :negative:

I'm only a few routes in and I already have about 30 Pokémon. This game :stare:

I'm enjoying the game a lot, although I do have to say that the horde fights are surprisingly not fun. I got ambushed by a bunch of Scraggys and all five of them would immediately Sand-Attack whatever I sent out, so I just ran. I'm thinking that they were designed with multi-hit attacks in mind, but they still seem somewhat tedious. Hopefully I never run into anything with Arena Trap/moves that prevent running. :(

Good to know thanks. I haven't been so excited for a game in a while; it makes me feel like I'm ten years younger. Also the Torchic I have has a Lonely nature to go with the Modest female Froakie I started with :getin:

+Lighter
+$30 cheaper

-Much less battery life
-Small screen
-Buttons aren't as well designed
-Not quite as sturdy

Get the XL. There's a reason the 3DS thread is titled "yes, buy the XL (and Fire Emblem)."

I'm taking this game a lot slower than ones I've picked up before...which worries me. It's probably just because I'm super busy, but this gen is still shaping out to be quite fun.

Anyone else find it interesting/horrible/actually kinda nice that Exp. Share now gives to all pokemon no matter what? I'm not sure if I like it or not. Seems the only way to specify leveling up certain pokemon is to keep just them in your party.

I really like it. For no reason my Doublade just dies all the time, so it's nice to be able to level it still. Need to find a Dusk Stone though.

You can just toggle the exp share off if it ever becomes a problem for some reason.

Vivillon rules and I would use one if I didn't pick the grass starter. Apparently the pattern on the wings is determined by the region your 3DS is set to or something
