Guess what I'm doing right now. Incidentally it looks like males can only pass on hidden abilities to with ditto, regular girls don't work.

Another little change that hasn't been noted: Oblivious now also makes the Pokémon immune to taunts as well as attraction.

Do all Safaris have the exact same pokemon over and over?

i.e. I added someone with a Frogadier in their safari, but all I'm getting are Male Torrent Frogadiers.

Serebii says:

With each person, you get up to three Pokémon within each specific area,
* with more Pokémon appearing should the person have defeated the Elite Four,
* with them getting Hidden Abilities if the player has been online at the same time as you.

It also appears that the Pokémon found within the Friend Safari have got two IVs of 31.
I think it's two Pokemon per area with +1 if they've beaten the Elite Four. I don't know how true the Hidden Abilities thing is, though.

Does the Safari have two or three Pokemon available?

The way the Friend Safari seems to work is that if your friend hasn't beaten the Elite Four, the Safari has two Pokemon, if they have, it has three and they have a chance to have Hidden Abilities.

Fletchinder, first evo of Flechting at lvl 16 gains flame body.

Also regarding Rotom, how the hell do we get the trash cans to shake? Is it like shaking grass? Can I pop a drat repel and still get it to shake?

I didn't catch it. I already had a Ditto and didn't see the point. Currently running around trying to find one now.

Though I can confirm what Serebii says. These Minccino now have Skill Link sometimes, which is nice.

EDIT: And an Impostor Ditto appeared the second I post this. Quick Ball go!

Omg you guys

I just found out you can pet your pokemon after a battle! Like, right after they knock out the last pokemon, wiggle your stylus on the screen. A hand will pop up and pet your pokemon and they'll make a heart! No clue if it needs a maxed out pokemon in pokemon-amie or what, but holy poo poo I LOVE all the little details they put into this game.

Wow, way to not care about collecting foreign language pokedex entries. Any language that isn't Japanese is pretty difficult to get hold of

e. Also, it doesn't matter where the trainer is from. It only matters what language they elected to play the game in.

Monster or dragon or something. I bred it with an Axew and I think I could have with Charmeleon.

Just finished the Team Flare storyline. This is probably the best Pokemon game, I think. Mainly because there are such a metric gently caress-ton of Pokemon, obtainable, before you even defeat the Elite Four. As I was playing through the game, I was in disbelief at all the Pokemon in this game. Also, the battles are faster than ever, and even using the old guys isn't bad because they look so awesome in 3D.

Another thing: Gardevoir is just so goddamn good in this game. I went into the game not knowing the ins-and-outs of the Fairy type, but Fairy/Psychic is such a potent combination.

Hawlucha is pretty nuts. I decided to go through the power plant with my partial HM bitch (fly and rock smash) one at front to try to get him some levels (and because I'd feel terrible if I never used Flying Press with a pokemon named Rey Mysterio), and he went from level 28 to level 35 in that run, since the only thing that took him out was the final scientist had her mightyena use roar.

Supposedly they have changed some pokemon's hidden abilities (Chandelure). It may turn out that Snivy's too has been changed, since DW Snivy isn't legitimately available in Gen 5.
