What's the best strategy for Pokémon-Amie? Just focus on one at a time, feed it when its belly sparkles, pet it until it gives a music-note speech bubble, then play with it, rinse and repeat? It seems like Fullness and Enjoyment are always at odds with each other, and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

Alright, starting a Wonder Trade chain until I get something good.

Carnivine (Audrey 2) -> SPA Fletchling -> JPN Gulpin -> JPN Scatterbug -> Snubbull -> Furfrou -> JPN Snubbull -> Nincada

Never had a Nincada so it works for me!

You can manually type in a name at the bottom of the list, the listing only has what you've seen by default.

Are you hiding in my house? How do you know what I named mine? :tinfoil:.

Speaking of, had a moment of :stonk: with the Wonder Trader yesterday. I sent a Bunnelby named "Bugs" (original, I know) off to Japan and thought nothing of it. Then I got one back with the same name a few trades later from Japan. It wasn't mine of course, but there was just that one brief moment before I checked the OT where I idly wondered if it'd had somehow made its way back to me.

The Pokemarts start stocking Revive's after a few towns. I think somewhere around the second Gym, or after your first big trip to the city?

Go to the bottom of the list, there's an option there that lets you type in the name. Can't choose a gender or anything though when you type the name in.

:dance: I love the new GTS. I got a Japanese Ditto for a Pinsir. Just caught the Pinsir, and I was sad to see it go, but Ditto is important! I can't wait to near the 8th gym for that! Now I can breed a bunch of babies to give cool moves to and put up on Wonder Trade. :3:

I'd like to use the GTS. I've been trying pretty much since release to get a Ditto, but instead all I get are communication errors requiring me to restart the game.

Yo ho?

So, Sliggoo evolves at 50+ when leveled up in the rain, right? Does it have to be raining on the overworld for that to happen, or raining in-battle? 'Cause I went back to the rainy route where I caught it and it wasn't raining anymore. Hopefully it has to be in-battle so I can just use rain dance.

I was hoping to just feed it a rare candy and have a Goodra :(

Man, I once again feel overwhelmed as to what I want my team to be. Picked Froakie and plan on having Helioptile and Tyrunt, but I'm drawing blanks on the next three spots. The event Torchic seems really nice, but I have a feeling it might make the game easy mode.

Well I'm going to eventually breed some bulbasaurs here. I just need to figure out if I should EV train it before trying to level up. I got an adamant female bulbasaur first try, but I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing. I mean they're normally special attackers but this new petal bilzzard of its is a physical attack.

One of those should be one of the Gen 1 Starters. Bulbasaur if you consider using the Torchic, otherwise Charmander's probably the better pick to complement Froakie.

Pretty deep in the Terminus Cave.

Alternately, get any Pokemon to maximum EVs, which unlocks Secret Super Training. Then beat the first 5 of those to unlock the one with an Aegislash balloon. That one hands out Dusk Stones if you score high enough.

EDIT: You can do this literally from the time you get your starter, and there's a Secret Super Training for each stone type.

Wow, after maxing her out in Pokemon-Amie, my Charmeleon is apparently determined to impress the hell out of me. In one fight she cured herself of paralysis by sheer force of will and then decided to just not die when she was killed. What a champ.

Pretty sure you can buy the other Kanto mega stones somewhere else ingame.

Welp. Looks like I'm going to be using a Beedrill for the foreseeable future.

I only started playing with Stabby the Weedle in Amie for a laugh, I never thought I'd get so attached to the drat thing. Now I've got it at four hearts and I don't think I could bear to box it.

Edit: Also goddamn Pokemon Amie. I'm stuck in Santalune because I can't stop playing with my goddamn Beedrill.

Oh hey, I put up a baby Froakie for a Ditto on the off chance someone would actually want that and it happened within 5 minutes. Amazing, especially considering how long the Charmander-->other Gen 1 starter was taking.

It looks like if you have any female starter, you can just make baby starters and GTS them for whatever other starters you want within minutes. I completed my starter collection within a half hour of my first Froakie egg.

E: And of course this goes two posts below someone having the opposite experience.
