You know I think the roller skates are my favorite part of this game. Almost makes me want to give up this whole 'be the best at Pokemon' thing and just become the best at roller skates. Find a pirate radio station, tag the gently caress outta Poke-Paris, who even needs gym badges?

Can anyone tell me where to find all of the tricks? I've tried Googling it but I only found one guide and the information there seems inaccurate.

This looks accurate! Just make sure you're dressed for success when you go to meet the last guy.

Haven't gone to get it myself but it's supposedly on Route 22, and you will at the least need the final HM to be able to get it. So pre-postgame, but it requires clearing all the gyms.

I haven't beaten the last Gym, but if you mean Waterfall it doesn't need the eighth badge.

To anyone with an Aegislash - is it worth it? My Doublade just learned Sacred Sword and I've got a Dusk Stone to evolve him, but the offensive/defensive form stuff sounds like it might be more trouble than it's worth. Would it be better to just give my Doublade Eviolite?

Holy cow, apparently both Pancham and Honedge can learn False Swipe? Honedge especially could end up being a really interesting Pokemon to use in helping to fill out a Pokedex.

From what the description for Multi Battles says it seems like there would be, but if i go there it only offers Infrared connection.

That's what I was looking at. I've definitely talked to all of those skaters in Lumiose, so if that's accurate then I guess I'm covered, but the tricks/descriptions listed don't all match up with what the skaters say in-game so that was kind of throwing me off.

Either way, it takes Waterfall (and supposedly also Strength and Surf, but Surf + Waterfall is kind of obvious).

So I've almost beaten the game at this point. Overall I think it's a really loving good game, probably the best pokemon game I've ever played, I have a few problems with it.

-A lack of wild Audinos means that even though the new exp share makes it easy to keep your team leveled, adding a new member to your team is actually harder than it should be. You have to grind them up many levels to catch up with your guys. In W2 it took like 5 minutes to get a new party member to my team's level since I could just punch audinos.
-As far as I can tell there isn't a Habitat List. That feature made collecting all the pokemon in B/W2 much easier and more satisfying since you got confirmation when you completed an area. For some reason they didn't include that in this one.
-It's just way to easy. I know Pokemon games aren't supposed to be hard but this one has no challenge. The new exp.share is so convenient and nice to use, but the game doesn't seem to be balanced around it at all. I ended up 15 levels above trainers without even trying. Every fight is effortless since I can one shot everything.

These problems just really bug me since they seem like they could of been easily addressed. The absence of convenient features in the last game is baffling considering how much the overall UI is improved. The leveling problem could of been solved simply by making trainer levels increase faster so you can't oneshot everything.

I forget the exact sequence but the game lets you slide diagonally now using the circle pad so try that and see if you can cheat it.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Stupid "screw reasonable timeframes, it needs to sound old" in stories. "I'm related to some random guy, but that rumor is 3000 years old." May as well say you're a descendant of King David, as if that means anything when the same could be said of a significant portion of the world by now.

This place is Not-France. Saying you have rumored relations to a 400-year-old so-and-so would put you in Versailles territory, long enough to be some majestic family rumor without being so long it's just dumb.

You really should've turned off the exp share. I was 10 levels higher than the 3rd gym leader so I turned it off at that point and the levels eventually evened out. (It's still a pretty easy game, but I think exp share can honestly kind of ruin things)

These two things bug the poo poo out of me. There are so many Pokemon now on each route that not having the Habitat List is just cruel. And the exp thing... it feels like they've reverted from the Gen V exp system to the old one or something too, in addition to the lack of Audinos? It's just a huge pain in the rear end to bring somebody up to speed. Hell, I caught a HM slave Bibarel and ran through Victory Road and it's only in the low 30s. You'd think with the new Exp Share he'd be gaining more levels than that. I'm not even sure what you do to level up slackers otherwise, except maybe restaurant battles or something? Put the one to raise in the Rotation Battles with a Lucky Egg and just never rotate them in.

Alright so I'm 99.9% sure I should just keep it, but I just caught the postgame Mewtwo in Y, and it's got 31 IVs in Special Attack and Speed, 30 defense, and 24 HP. The only thing that's making hesitate is 2 in Special Defense, and the Naive nature which is making that special defense really low (120 at level 71).

I think that Mewtwo is hardcoded to have 2 31s and a 30. Mine has 31 HP and Special Attack and 30 Attack.

Lumios city is the absolute worst. The camera angles and character movement make it a pure frustration to navigate. Also there needs to be a way to check your current objective. I think the professor wanted me to meet him at a cafe or something but I can't remember and I can't find him anywhere.

There are wild Audinos; they jump out of the big bushes along the road of Route 6, if you run along the edge of the middle.

The place you're looking for is Lysander Cafe. It's in one of the side paths near the interior Pokemon Center and there's a Flare grunt standing outside of it. Sycamore says something about just taking a taxi if you can't find it so try that I guess?

Old Amber is just dumb luck, sorry.

Mareep are horde battles only. Use honey or Sweet Scent on route 12. I found mine standing in the grass surrounded by fences just north of where you first enter the Route at. Save then use Honey and soft reset if you get Wingulls. Took me 6 tries using this method. Hope this helps.
