I couldn't take this battle at all serious. Where in the cave is the Dusk Stone?

Does anyone know where you can find a Dawn Stone? I'm itching to turn my Kirlia into a Gallade for some poke-french sword-fighting action.

You know how if you idle for a little while, the in-battle camera just does its own thing? I had glanced up at the computer as I walked through a cave just as a battle started. When I looked back down at the 3DS, it did one of those shots where it gets closer and closer to the enemy pokemon until it's basically an extreme closeup of their face.

I had gotten into a battle with a female Wobbuffet.

I'm not sure if it was the funniest moment in X or the scariest. Just this quick-cutting close-up of a Wobbuffet with lipstick. Jesus.

Turn around, look for the end that's not dead. Then you get to a more traditional top-down cave area.

I found it the first time. I just stuck on the main path and followed its turns, going straight every time and ignoring any side branches.

I do agree that they made that part intentionally too disorienting.

Holy poo poo at the amount of effort and love for the series put in these games. I've been seeing throwbacks and references to past games the whole time, but I just stumbled on an Art Gallery in Lumiose.

I assumed it would be small and sort of poo poo like Kanto's Museum or Hoenn's Marine Museum. Instead it's half full of wonderful pictures and flavour text of Kalos related business, and half full of official art from previous games, and a couple of pictures of either fan art, or art team artwork. And the place is HUGE.

The game tells you when it's someone's birthday via the PSS. It's based on their timezones though, not yours so I had a bunch of Japanese people congratulate in the middle of the afternoon yesterday. Made me feel kind of special though.

I'm putting this out there just in case there's anyone as dumb as me. When you're using covet/thief to try and steal a light ball off of a pikachu, it won't show up in your inventory. Your thief holds onto it after the battle. I just ran around and knocked out 20 or so before getting the idea to check my espurr. :downs:

Cause this is Pokemon, it's what we do. I regularly wouldn't care, but where else am I going to get a Speed Boost Blaziken now that the Dream World got closed down? :saddowns:

Know this is several pages back but Dream World is still open til Dec. Can this PLEASE be that in the OP?

I'll even pretty it up for posting/linking it back. (All that working for the company all that time ago taught me how to write up FAQs.)

*~*~*

I heard the Global Link/Dream World/Global Battle Station/GTS for Gen 5 was closed now! What happened?

The Gen 5 Global Link was announced to start shutting down on July 1, 2013 in stages starting on October 12th, 2013 with the release of Gen 6 (X and Y). The shutdown schedule is/was as follows, by what features were removed:

October 12th, 2013:

- If you haven't created an account by now, you can't.
- If you've only played the demo, the demo is now unavailable and you can't use the Dream World anymore.
- If you've never registered any game by now, no more games can be registered.

December 10, 2013:

- Players will no longer be able to tuck in new Pokémon. You can still play with one that has been tucked in one last time and thus get items, a Pokémon from the Dream World, and change the C-Gear skin, Pokémon Musical song, and/or Pokédex skin until January 14, 2014. Better make it a run worth it and pick what you want.

January 14, 2014:

- All services offered by the Global Link will be shut down, except untucking a Pokémon and bringing it back to the game through the game. No Items, Pokémon, or anything but an untuck.
- You are no longer be able to change the C-Gear skin, Pokémon Musical song, or Pokédex skin if it wasn't set by today. Hope you like what you've got. It's there forever.
- If you didn't activate the Memory Link in B2/W2, it's impossible from now on.

What about the GTS?
The GTS will not be affected by the closure of the Gen 5 Global Link, except that trade history will no longer be viewable online.

What about the Global Battle Union?
The currently ongoing Season 10 will continue until the final closure of the service. The company won't tally or publish the results of this season. Random Matchup Rating Mode will be shut down. Free Mode will always be available.

Wi-Fi Club?

It's still useable and always will be.

How does this affect Medals in B2/W2?
After the shutdown, you will no longer be able to bring Pokémon to the Entree Forest, though those there will remain until you catch them.

As a result, the following Medals will no longer be obtainable if you don't have enough Pokémon in the Entree forest by shutdown:
Dozing Capture (Catch a Pokémon in the Entree Forest for the first time)
Sleeping Capture (Catch 10 or more Pokémon in the Entree Forest)
Deep Sleep Capture (Catch 50 or more Pokémon in the Entree Forest)
Sweet Dreamer (Catch 100 or more Pokémon in the Entree Forest)

This OP personally had 46 taken out by a tuck in on 10/12/13 and mathed out that I will have 100 by Dec 7th if I grab one every day without fail, so I'm cutting it close. Less than than is probably nearly impossible.

Without all four medals, you can't get Great Adventurer (Obtain all Adventure Medals but this one), and so you can't get Top Adventurer (Obtain all other Medals).

How can I get a Dream World Pokémon after the closure?

* Hidden Grottos in B2/W2 have some Pokémon with Dream World Abilities, and can later be ported up to the Pokémon Bank.
* Female Pokémon with their Dream World Abilities can breed them to their offspring at a 60% chance (more with Everstones).
* The Torchic giveaway from Oct 12th to January 14th had the Hidden Ability Speed Boost, but is male so can't breed it down.

We don't know how, if, or when Dream World Pokémon will be available through other means.

*~*~*

I'll work up lists of actually obtainable Dream World 'Mon once I'm past Santalune City. Is there anything I left out?

Oh man apparently Aegislash (Honedge final evo) is potentially really good. He can switch stances and go from having crazy high defense and setting up a swords dance or two to having crazy high offense and killing things in a hit. Really slow though.

Did you find a Dusk Stone? If so, where was it. I looked around T Cave but I didn't find it.

No I haven't even evolved Honedge, been going off of people's impressions online. I still have no idea what the new Pokemon even are, it's kinda cool to go into this completely blind. I hope they do worldwide releases from now on.

How's the flying/fighting mexican luchador? It looks pretty awesome but I don't think I've seen a wild one yet.

It's a Mexican luchador bird. What else do you want.

It's pretty good for a single-stage. Learns some interesting moves, not bad stats, either.

The first one I came across used Encore to force my Wartortle to off it with a second Water Pulse instead of letting me whittle it's health down to something I can capture it at with a Bite :argh:.

Probably, but it might just because there's no way to get those plates into X/Y from B/W.

They were spread the hell out all over the world. It's not like the Daiga, Paika, and Giratina ones where they're all located within a single area.

It's measured in steps so skates should be faster. Having a pokemon with flame body in the party (like Fletchinder) also cuts the time required to hatch eggs significantly.

So it appears that the WonderTrade function is at 100% abuse rate. I keep trading half-decent Pokemon and getting Fletchlings and Bidoofs.

I'd heard there was a store that sells the other two Kanto starter megastones, I that true, or am I only getting a blastoisite until i convince someone to trade?

also, are there any good lists of level-up moves? I wonder what insane move chespin learns it its 40s, and if it's worth leaving it unevolved.

The Old Amber is a random drop from the rocks. I had to leave and re-enter that room a half dozen times to get one.
