The total number of Pokemon now is 718, you can get 450 without the National Dex.

This really is a spectacular game. My single complaint with it so far is that I can't bring over my murdersquad from Black 2 until december. Why not release Pokemon Bank at the same time as X and Y you jerks?

Does anyone know where I can catch a Horsea and get a Dragon Scale? I just got surf and don't haven't found a water type that I want to hang in my party.

If anyone knows where I can get a King's Rock I'd be grateful, too!

You can get Smeargles really early. I have two level ~14 ones waiting in my boxes.

I wish they'd left an option to eliminate starters and starter evolutions too though (although the legendary thing is really helpful). I wanted to grab a fletchling without going back to route 3 (didn't have Fly yet) and every drat level 3-5 fletchling was looking for a bulbasaur or whatever.

70 NEW pokemon, yeah. Because they had to re-do all the existing 700 or whatever in 3D.

But this one plays as an all-stars of the best of all generations, so its great. There's amazing variety.

It really is awesome. I keep having trouble deciding who I want in my party because they keep giving me awesome choices. Awesome choices in 3D!

I wondertraded a Staravia I had just caught and named Bidoof to a guy and I got a bidoof for it.

Apparently he felt bad about it, because he traded me the Staravia back for his bidoof.

No Pokemon game since Gold and Silver has captivated me. The GBA ones seemed mediocre, Diamond and Pearl were clunky and boring, Black and White 1 & 2 came and went, the remakes didn't recapture the magic for me either. Yet I still find myself debating whether or not to take the plunge on X/Y.

Do I buy this game? Am I just too old to enjoy the mans anymore?

It does take significantly less time for the other gyms, but what kind of an attitude is that :mad:

It's not the destination, it's the journey, y'know!

Then the game shouldn't put so much space between me and clothes!

Really, though, the space between the 1st and 2nd gym is just poorly paced. There's a lot of just jumping from place to place and things happening for no clear reason. Like, I'm certainly enjoying the game so far, especially with all the nice little ancillary stuff the game has, but I'm hoping things are tied together a bit more nicely for the following parts of the game.

You can also filter it so you only see people asking for things you have. It's in another options menu and you have to set it every time, but it's better than nothing.

I'm loving the game so far, but for fucks sake, please somebody tell me that there's a way to turn off the godawful "new" cry for Pikachu. It's loving stupid that they decided to give one Pokemon a voiced cry, and of course it's loving Pikachu and it makes me want to gouge my ears out.

Do it. This is the best Pokemon game I've ever played. It does so many things right and has a ton of fantastic features.

My biggest problem; nicknames don't show up in online battles and the language filter is really arbitrary. Tried to wonder trade a
Spoink named "Some Pig" and it wouldn't allow it. Come on.

Every Pokemon that has ever existed is in this game, plus the new ones. It has always been this way for main series Pokemon games, and always will. They aren't going to remove guys. I don't know why people don't understand this.

There are going to be some Pokemon you can't obtain in a given game without trading from previous generations and/or event giveaways, but this, too has always been the same.
