Whaaat? I love these guys. They're all friendly and silly and I always smile when I'm dealing with them. I'm really enjoying the light tone of the game's characters and story.

I think I'd prefer a bit of a happy medium, where you've got one friendly rival and one rear end in a top hat rival. Don't tell me it isn't incredibly satisfying every time you smash Blue's face into the dirt.

Does anyone know when/where the earliest you can buy Luxury Balls is? I wasted all mine on Azurill that had Thick Fat.

It's that drat yarn heading game. It's adorable and the music is ridiculously catchy, especially in fever mode.

It also seems to be the best way to get the really fancy/good Poke Puffs if you play it on Unlimited, I haven't really touched the other two games because of it.

You can max out both of them and still have 4 EVs left over.

I'm just really confused with putting EVs on it. Do I put defense EVs since the stat switches when it changes form? Is that how it works with his ability?

In the postgame, do you get the starter that your starter is strong against, or the one it's weak against?

e. Sorry, probably should have spoiled that.

I don't really care whether they're friendly or assholish, but I'd like them to at least put up a challenge rather than being a minor roadblock. Why have Gamefreak decided full teams of six are too hard?

I dunno, watching Serena go all "I lost AGAIN? :ughh:" is immensely satisfying to me.

1) gently caress victory road for making me bring my surf AND strength slaves. I missed out on catching a Noibat because my Venusaur wasn't around to put it to sleep :mad: (it used whirlwind after escaping an ultra ball)

2) Oh god I immediately want to level up another entire team :gonk:
(what would go well with ampharos/clawitzer/pangoro? probably gonna trade for a charmander but other than that I'm paralyzed by choice)

Just got Xerneas. It's Hasty nature, so it has better Speed but lower Defense. I'm just wondering if I should make it a pure special sweeper or a mixed attacker, and what Super Training minigames (besides the Magnemite/Magneton/Magnezone ones) do you guys think I should use for either?

Yeah I just checked and I got one for a female bulbasaur. Holy poo poo guys, no wonder people ask for legendarys.

I'm gonna try and get a Yveltal for my little brother next.

EDIT: It was a serious Xerneas too! So I don't have to worry about stats. No nickname though, sadly.

Early is probably better, since putting it off will result in "wasted" (ie. not ideally min-maxed) EVs. Honestly it's totally unnecessary for the main game, but it's worth doing if you want to battle other people a lot.

Pokedex entry is one of the sad ones. Something like they die if they stop bouncing. :(

Don't know, but the bag is easy to get, easy to use and free. It's a one time reset everything too.

No, sadly. Though the photos taken by Phil the Photo Guy should be up on the Global Link website when that goes live.

Good luck on your shiny quest though. Barring any I may have forgotten from the original Silver/Gold days, I've never seen or caught a real shiny!

If you have an open spot in your team when you catch it, you can use the Summary to check its stats during the battle with Lysandre.
