I can't believe they didn't balance this game around the exp share. I left it on and without even trying to grind, my team is massively overleveled. I have no choice but to turn it off while I train up my Inkay if I want the game to be even remotely challenging.

I really don't get why the level curve is so slow when you gain levels so fast. This game would be pretty much perfect if it weren't for this.

I'm only a bit after the second gym and the curve seems pretty good to me. I know the levels reach 60 by the end of the gyms, so it sounds like they did have EXP share in mind.

Okay, this question is for anyone who has managed to get the EVs erasing punching bag; did you get that bag as a random bag drop, or from completing a super training session?

Also note, I really like the Super Training thing because I don't HAVE to do the minigames, I can just spam punching bags (But the mini games will get you more points faster I'm pretty sure). Also, Also, rapidly tapping the touch screen so your pokemon hits the (empty) punching bag will get you punching bags. Its pretty fast. But I still haven't found the EV removing one. Argh.

All same gender, everything else can be "rerolled" by saving before you receive the pokemon from the person in the pokemon center.

Go to the power plant, which is under the 4th city gym, I think. After that, Go to not-Eiffel Tower in Luminose.

I got a mixed attacker. It's really helpful throughout the game, though I've now only got physical moves on him.

Digging this like crazy so far, more than I thought I would. Started off with Chespin, and he's way more solid than I'd expected. Even more now that he's a Quilladin. I've also got a Pancham, who owns, Azurill, who really owns, and surprisingly, a loving Gulpin who's a total boss. Just picked up an Espurr cause she's cute as hell, I named her after my cat :3:.

Do your friends ever just gently caress off for a minute? It feels like I can't walk 20 feet without someone wanting to talk.

e: Also, where's the next clothing store? I found the hat shop early on and nothing else since. I'm at Parfum Palace currently.

Yeah, and you'll have to against the wind to get there. It's in the bottom-left corner; if you see a scientist about, it's to the left of him.

But Trace is actually pretty good, it can land you some really clutch abilities against certain Pokemon.

There's a fisherman in the aquarium on the first water town who gives you the Old Rod, and another in the port town who gives you a Good Rod. Talk to all the fishermen you see.

Has anyone figured out how to get stylish enough to go into the Lumiose clothing store? "Try some stuff in the city" is about the most infuriatingly useless non-clue I think I've ever seen. I've done just about everything I can think of, and event tried wearing a 100% new outfit with color coordination and stuff. Nothing seems to work, but people have reported being able to get in there... they just have no idea how.

HMs still have to be forcibly unlearned. Which is probably why you have all these people asking where the move deleter is.

Edit: Oh wow, you can actually hear Grant pop his joints before he battles you. I'm not sure if I should be impressed or mildly disgusted.

The variety in pokemon so far has been insane. I was kinda worried about how few new ones were made, but the sheer number of different mons on each route more than makes up for it. Plus the first thing I fought was a Pidgey, exactly like in Red. It came full circle.
