I posted a few posts up giving the locations of everything.

Thanks! I missed this, somehow.

It's so tempting to wanna min-max stuff, but I'm going to wait until after I've cleared the campaign to worry about it all. Someone out there will be breeding starters with preferable genders/natures, I imagine. Part of me is wishing I could go back and fuss about my Fennekin/Bulbasaur (who are both male with neutral natures), but I can't think that way! I refuse! I probably wouldn't even normally worry about that type of thing if I didn't read this thread, which says a lot about what a blind Pokemon experience is like. It does seem a lot more carefree before you realize how deep the rabbit hole goes.

The good news is, Marill evolves to Azumarill at 18, so you'll probably be able to jet right into having an Aquabunny Murder Machine.

How do I make my pokemon happy? This isn't mentioned in the op. Azumarill seems incredibly lovely, as cute as it is. It has incredibly low attack stats.

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

Mine just evolved! It's so cool, it's blue and white. I've never used a bug pokemon before, I think this is the time to start.

BOUTIQUE STUFF

The boutiques apparently change their stock daily. So try resetting the time to see if that rotates their stuff in and out. I don't think you're penalized for it because I reset my time after I started the game and I could still buy hats.

Also all locations for trainer clothes are the following:

Santalune City
Cyllage City
Laverre City
Anistar City
Snowbelle City

Do you happen to know how the heck to get into the Lumiose boutique? I've tried wearing clothes of one style (so with the same tag background), colour matching, changing hairstyle/colour, changing eye colour etc... Lady still doesn't think I ooze style.

It gets the Huge Power ability, which doubles its attack stat. This occurs after the EVs and IVs are combined with the base stat, so Azumarill is actually very powerful. However, it can also end up with Thick Fat as an ability, which it can't really take much advantage of.

Fake edit: Sort of beaten, but I should mention the possibility of thick fat. Don't raise an Azurill with Thick Fat you will be so disappointed.

So why do some pokemon seem to suck at special training? Trying to raise my Inkay but she sucks at it. The ball she launches is super slow and doesn't get many points even when charged, so I have no clue what you're supposed to do.


Also Dagon isn't allowed as a nickname but Cthulu is for some reason.

EDIT: Wouldn't even let me do Dagoon :smith:

Using the pokemon without it fainting works. Also try petting it in the pokemon-amie, find out what puffs it likes and get those.

Okay, so I'm in the Pokeball Factory, and I just defeated the Team Flare people. I'm now getting a choice between a Master Ball and a Big Nugget. It seems like a trick question - it's making me think there's some cool interaction with the Big Nugget. Am I right, or is Game Freak messing with me?

jymbojones posted:

Serebii says Ralts is found on Route 4, but can anyone confirm? I've been biking around for like an hour fighting nothing but Ledybas, Skittys and Flabebes.

I know I saw a Ralts but couldn't catch it, and Route 4 sounds about right. I'd guess it's pretty rare, being Ralts and all.

I got both of the items when picking the masterball. I think it's a trick.

Totally a trick question, because you can always just get more Big Nuggets with Pickup if need be.

The most fun I had with wonder trade was catching Honedge, naming them knock off sword names like Excalipoor and Daedlmiss, and then sending them out. I got a bunch of route 1 crap, which is fine by me since it means someone might be using one. A Japanese girl sent me a "nice!" after the trade so my hope is they are running around using a misnamed sword :shepface:

Kind of sad that they giver you exp share early and then don't seem to balance the game around it at all. My pokemon are nearing level 30 and I haven't even hit the second gym. The game isn't meant to be hard but it's no fun crushing everything without trying.
