Loving this game so far, way too many pokemon to choose though.

Zore posted: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. Is there just the one? Or is it farmable? edit: Also as a general missable thing; Talk to the NPC's on the beach just after that town and you'll find someone who gives you a dowsing rod. It'll net you a shitload of good items just walking around the beaches.

I only encountered one Caterpie in the wild though. I also got one of those from Wonder Trade and then evolved it to to Butterfree and sent it away just like Ash Ketchem.

There's a hidden door that you can see only by looking in the mirrors, it takes you to the basement. Once you're there there's a circle of light where you can get Alakazamite, but apparently only if you already beat the game.

Figured out the snooty store, for people like me still struggling with it: It doesn't seem to have much of anything to do with what you're wearing. What does seem to matter is activities in the city. Notably, I was denied entry, went and did the one-star restaurant battles perfectly (star next to the meal), still couldn't get in, then went and worked all three jobs at the hotel and after doing them was allowed inside. Basically when she says "go do stuff" she pretty much means that, just do whatever random services are available in town until it works. Fight the restaurants, get a haircut, make a PR video, get a dog groomed, probably some or all of it applies and once you've done a certain amount it will unlock the boutique. The trenchcoat is pretty slick. I'm not sure if the colors on the suits and whatnot change on a daily basis like it seems the ones in other boutiques do, but I'll keep an eye out.

Does the game still prohibit you from nicknaming event Pokemon? I don't want my Torchic to be the only one without a cute nickname.

So, how's everyone liking X&Y so far? What are the best/worst aspects of the game? I remember reading somewhere that X&Y would somehow be more transparent with the EVs and IVs, is that true? I ordered a copy of each and they still haven't arrived yet so I'm curious about what everyone thinks after having some hands on time playing the games.

WendigoJohnson posted: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. They did the same thing in Black/White with the Arceus plates though. They're spread out like that instead of handed out as gameplay freebies because you can use them for reasons other than Arceus, you can attach them to any other Pokemon for a buff to moves of the corresponding type.

Eh, Wonder Trade is great even if you don't get amazing things. I just sent out a Flabebe and got a Japanese Pancham (who instantly repalced my Riolu). I'd call that a pretty fair trade.

Speaking of egg groups. I got lucky with a female Fennekin, jumped into the Daycare at the first opportunity, and ended up with three males. So if anyone has a Bulbasaur, Froakie, or Chespin that they'd want to swap for, let me know.I am Reverend posted:Wonder Trading's not about getting something good, it's about knowing that there's like a dozen eight year olds out there using Flabebes that you named after different strains of weed.

Oh my gosh, that is adorable. When you talk to a preschooler your character squats down to get on eyelevel with them. Zahki posted:I should catch some mons to Wonder Trade then, I really want a Weedle and have only met Caterpie. I guess Weedle is an X exclusive? Weedle and Caterpie appear to be in a common/rare pair. One is common where the other is rare, and vice versa. I caught both in that first forest but only saw one caterpie and lots of weedles, so....

Its base speed is so low there's no recovering, so focus on ones that raise ATK or either Defense.

Thanks to the people who confirmed it's possible, that's a big relief! After 20 fights the probablity of receiving a female is 93% with odds of 1/8 so it's pretty unlucky, but 7% of people will still be in my position of fighting this fruity frenchman over and over.

Just so you know you don't need to fight him every time. You can decline when he offers you the Pokemon, then save and he'll offer it to you again when you talk to him so you can soft reset as many times as you like.
