Going forward it would be cool if they just gave you two rivals. The jerk one who takes the starter you're weak against, and the friendly one who's forced to get the starter you're strong against.

Yeah, the four rivals thing is a bit ridiculous.

So I posted this the other day but no one answered. Where/when do you encounter Xerneas/Yveltal? I want to catch an Yveltal with a good nature and decent IVs, so I'd like to have a free spot in my party when I encounter it so I can quickly check it. Unless there's a way to catch them after you beat the main game, like in BW2?

So, I know this is a silly question to ask, this being a Pokemon game and all, but does the game ever get any more difficult? I just stomped Grant with my Diggersby alone, and I feel like the rapid leveling has me outpacing the Gym Leaders.

I think so. Either way, it's when you have to go back to Geosenge(sp?) Town and the weapon is there.


VVVVVV I evolved mine at 52. It's 67 with no new moves learned.

Sorry if this has been asked recently, but does anyone know if when you evolve Duoblade it keeps learning moves or not? I have a dusk stone but I don't want to evolve it if it doesn't learn new moves.

It learns some moves, but you want to keep it as a doublade until it gets sacred sword and iron head. Once it has those, you can evolve it without missing anything too big.

I learned how to play beer pong from the Prince of Uganda at a university party.
So I've had EXP share on pretty much the whole game to where I am now. Does this screw with the EV's? So like only the one that is doing the killing will get EV's but the rest are just getting experience only?

I don't think so, but even if it does there are Reset Bags in the Super Trainer.

VVVV Sacred Sword is the later of the two at 51.

I've got bad news for you... You can refight them, but they don't change their teams up at all. Other than the battle tower, I haven't seen anything else in the post-game.

Not an actual facts hardnosed test, but I was trying to catch a Mareep in a swarm a bit ago with my new hatched Torchic on my team. After a few hordes with the Wingull I get some Mareeps, kill 4 of them and capture the last one. Torchic has yet to be swapped in to a battle and EXPshare is on.

I looked at my Torchic's EVs on the training screen and there's a noticeable chunk of yellow toward both Speed (Wingull's EV) and SpA (Mareep's EV).

Take that as you will.

I think there's an event involving the Elite Four post game Looker appears somewhere maybe that's the trigger for a higher level battle.

So yeah, the "select Pokemon you haven't seen" stuff seems to be more along the lines of "Gee if I only had Charizard I would be the coolest trainer ever" unlocking Charizard for trading.

For in-game eviolite Doublade is probably better than Aegislash unless you immediately Super Trained your Honedge so it doesn't gain speed. Eviolite Doublade has much better defense and doesn't have to worry about outspeeding things that it can't OHKO while still having a solid attack stat.

I feel like I've overlevelled a touch, though that could be because I've only used three pokemon for the majority of the game.

Greninja (Levi) - 38. I have no complaints about this guy. He's speedy, he hits special like a truck, he looks cool as hell... :allears:
Fufrou (Sasha) - 36. I feel like this is one of those pokemon that's going to slow down soon, but so far she's a decent tank. She flinchhaxed the fighting gym to death too which was great.
Charizard Y (Eren) - 36. To be honest he hasn't pulled his weight so far, though hopefully now he's evolved, he can start actually killing things.

I've quit for the night just after recieving the free Lucario (Erwin), while Diggersby makes for a decent HM slave. How far away am I from fishing up a Skrelp?

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

So if you max out affection on a pokemon through pokemonamie, and then switch to another pokemon to level up their affection, does the first pokemon's affection stay how it is and help out in combat and stuff still? Or is only the 'active' pokemon in pokemonamie able to take advantage of that stuff?
