It's looking like there will be in the low 600ish range of total Pokebank obtainable in just X/Y before pokebank opens up. There are some odd exclusions though, like Rattata, Cottonee, Koffing, etc.

e: http://pastebin.com/hie2cL5y list of pokes that someone with a completed Kalos dex and a large amount of safari pokemon still doesn't have.

I saw a guy on the GTS asking for a Mudkip, which I think means he had to have seen one which I think means they're available(?).

No they changed it so that you can ask for any Pokemon, whether you've seen it or not.

So the Prima guide is poo poo, which isn't surprising to anyone who's bought a Prima guide, but they aren't even planning on releasing a Pokedex, huh? So uh... where do we find that poo poo out from this time? It'd be nice having a convenient book to flip through.

Anyone know the earliest I can get a Shuckle? Serebii says route 16 but, while I am up to my shoulders in pumpkaboos, klefkis, and phantumps, I haven't seen one. Do I have to fish for one, or is there a breakable rock I can't access without waterfall?

So I decided to put one of my Jungle Vivillons up on GTS to see if I could finagle a Monsoon out of someone.

After a couple non-monsoon vivillons I get sent a high planes one named BUTTSOUP. Used to be that any Vivillon would get snatched up immediately, but now I can't seem to get rid of this one.

I hope you burn in hell, anonymous trader. :argh:

Edit: Also, people need to stop asking for Xerneas or Yveltals. It's never going to happen.

Is there a faster way to grind money than the elite four with an amulet coin and the money O-power? Clothes in the Lumiose boutique are expensive.

I think the 3-star Restaurant Le Wow might be better, but I haven't put a stopwatch to it or anything. It's $100,000 to enter the Triple Battle, and then with the Amulet Coin on one of my guys and the Level 3 Prize Money active (don't know if they stack) I got $60k twice and $25k three times from the five battles. I went one turn over the limit twice and was perfect three times, which netted me 23 Balm Mushrooms, which sell for $6,250 each. If my math is right, that's $238,750 profit for something that took maybe ten minutes and gained pretty decent experience, too.

Well it took about 20 minutes but now I have all of the mega stones I have available. And now a kimono girl in the Chateau is sending out two level 35 Audinos. Feeling pretty good, though I think I may have broken game sync by buying 90 Heart Scales and like 100 other things.

IVs are additional stats at level 100 (a lv100 pokemon with 31 defense IVs would have 31 more defense than a lv100 pokemon with 0 defense IVs). You only get one of those extra stats every couple levels, so it takes a while to get an idea. (There are some personality characteristics that will let you know if you have a perfect IV in a stat though, like "alert to sounds")

Boxes! How are you guys organized? I have a box for each type (two boxes for normal, grass, water and bug), a box for eggs, another for legendaries, a breeding box (where I dump parents), a whole box for Unown types and another for Vivillons. The rest are labelled "other" and it's where I leave trading fodder.

Late in the game, but since Gen 3 I do at least one box for every type (there's been enough boxes for a while I can give everyone one) Team (active training/good teammates), Newbies (just caught, sort later), Gods (all legendaries), Babies (exactly what's on the tin). Now I have one for Wonder Trade if I feel like grabbing some Scatterbug later to toss around.

I see a lot of people suggestion King's Shield for Aegislash. My current moves are Iron Head, Sacred Sword, Sword Dance and Shadow Sneak

1) Should I replace Iron Head with King's Shield?
2) What does King's Shield do that's so awesome?
3) Where can I get a heart scale so I can even get King's Shield in the first place?
