Cool, in order to trade, you also need to add my FC. Just go to the trading thread and you'll find it in the second post.

Alrighty, added you. You're not showing up on the PSS friends list though for some reason.

e: Thanks a bunch, really appreciate it! I'm gonna breed up Chespins and Squirtles so let me know if you need one, though I doubt it since you're so far ahead! Yep that was me just now.

I do have to say, one little gripe I have is I have no idea who's who on my friend list. I've added so many people that I've lost track of which goon is which.

I think this is you I'm trading with Kuhmondo.

Alright, for anyone waiting on an Amazon pre-order, I was told by an Amazon rep that "existing pre-orders are not upgraded to Release Date Delivery if and when said shipping option becomes available." Apparently you have to cancel and re-place an order to get release date shipping (which is blatantly false - I've preordered tons of stuff from Amazon with just regular Prime shipping and never failed to get it on the release date). Amazon really dropped the ball on this one. Despite having 2-day shipping, I won't be getting my game until the 18th.

So if you battle or trade someone repeatedly the game will just ask if you want to be friends.

Basically if you ever get tired of collecting Pokemon, you can collect Japanese kids.

In other news, I totally got a Venipede and Audino from skating alongside the hedge bushes on the middle path of that route.

Okay this is crazy. They have to have made getting shinies easier or something. I've only ever found two shinies in over ten years of playing and right out the gate I score a shiny fletchling.

Yeah, I've always gotten release day shipping for preorders and last week I saw that our copies of X & Z wouldn't be shipping till next week. I called them up and the lady said it was because other people ordered 1-day shipping or something.

Cancelled that order and preordered from ToysRUs.com because it was buy 1 - get 30% off and they said arrival date would be today.

Cut to today where I get an email at 4 in the morning letting me know the games won't arrive until next week.

The best part is that if you go and order Pokemon X off amazon right now, you can get it Monday with one day shipping or Tuesday with regular Prime 2 day shipping. My preorder, with prime, on the other hand is now pegged for Thursday. I got actively penalized for preordering.

You get EXP Share really early on... Before the 2nd Gym. I can't rightly remember though. I think I chat to a scientist.

All of the online stuff uses your player name, the name of your 3DS Mii isn't used anywhere in the game as far as I can tell.

Please tell me this isn't a joke... is there really a pokemon that evolves only if you hold your 3DS upside down?

And in case anyone was wondering, you get Sylveon by maxing out affection in Pokemon Amie. It looks like "Happiness" which is used for other happiness evos isn't the same thing as affection from Pokemon Amie? You can catch eevees in the wild pretty quickly.

I'm like 30 minutes into the game and I catch a shiny Scatterbug (He's white instead of black, and there was the sparkle and everything, so I think it's a shiny).

Well that's one way to catch my first natural shiny I guess?

So through wonder trade I have managed to go from a level 5 fletchling to a level 34 klefki that I can't use because I've only cleared one gym. Also half my pokemon have their Japanese names now. Pretty sure this is the best game.

Liking this game! I felt like such a weirdo when I bought it though. My only tiny issue so far is that the roller skates are tied to the circle pad and not registered to select like the bike in older games. Also the whole power training thing is super confusing

As a matter of interest for anyone whose leveled Litleo, does it learn mainly physical or special attacks? Its hard to tell from its base stats.

So I just did a Battle Box matchup. My Pokémon are level 80, his are level 30. Mine got downgraded to level 50 whilst his stayed the same.

According to the Amazon rep that e-mailed me, they don't upgrade older pre-orders to release day shipping, you have to cancel and re-place the preorder once release day shipping is available (Note: I have preordered all sorts of things [games, books, movies, etc] from Amazon and have never had this problem before, so either they recently switched policies or they had specific problems with Pokemon X and Y).

EDIT: I just got shipping notification on mine. I'm not sure if my emails to customer service got them to bump my shipping speed up or something, but I went from having an estimated delivery of Thursday to one of Monday.
