Pokemon X and Pokemon Y - October 2013

Maybe just the ones that people like?

We'll see though.  Castform needs a mega form.

I'm really hoping a really lame/dumb pokemon gets a kick *** mega evolution, kind of like how Magikarp evolves into Garados. Maybe Mr. Mime can mega evolve into Pedobear.

[Archem]

Mega Garbador. **** it.

Dunsparce transforms into a fuckin' god!  "You thought I was useless for the past 4 generations!?  Well now it's time for me to **** y'all up!!!"

Received the game today (which is odd) and it's a huge step up from the earlier games. Gonna update later, kinda busy here.
only issue I have is that you move one "tile at a time" still, even though you have a neat 3d avatar and everything.

Went with Chespin btw.

scratch the movemen issue, it got remedied with an item.

I caved and bought version Y >.>

It should arrive Monday

Dear god, if I ever buy x or y, it will be all of your faults.

So an update although I suppose that all of you already own the game.
I really love some of the new type combinations like psy/dark and fight/fly. I also love some of the new pokes, the fossil for example, araura got an ability called refrigerate that turns all normal type attacks into ice type damage (the poke itself is ice of course).
It's still a bit confusing with the fairy type. It's resistant to fighting and dark, so all those normal types that you usually killed with a double kick? Yeah, they like, survive and stuff. Weakness so far is poison and steel. Finally some increased use of those moves.

I have now turned off the animations. Although I wish I could just hold down a speed button to make it go at a 150-200% speed but whatever. I just couldn't stand how long every battle became. Especially against a trainer with like 4 pokes.

Other good things:
Character customization. Visit a barbershop to change hairstyle and colour, visit boutiques to get some new duds.
Affection checker, name rater and daycare pretty early in the game (like, before the 2nd gym)
Pokemon amnie, a lower screen minigame that lets you work towards raising pokes affection without having to bike 30000 steps.
Super training, a really (as in really) useful lower screen minigame you can use to raise the EV's of your pokes. Aka, what stats will get the extra oomph next level up.

So yeah, I love the game, still haven't encountered any mega evolutions. Going through a busy two weeks now so I won't be playing a lot though.

[daoman89]

The game's word.  I don't mind the animations, don't know why, just do.  I think my mans are overleveled, but idk, some fights manage to faint my pokemans every now and then (not all of them, just 1 or 2).

So you know what's annoying? When you pre-order something online and they miss the Saturday delivery date. The mail doesn't run on Sundays, and we don't typically get our mail until late in the afternoon.

So yeah.

I guess that's why we recieved it on Friday already. I blame nintendo for bad release date though.

And regarding overleveling. Make sure to turn OFF the exp share, that thing be broken. The leader loses no exp and the other gets 50% of that exp for themselves.

[DragonBlaze]

I'm glad I didn't pre-order, just ordered Saturday and got it Monday

So far I think the game itself is great. They did a great job moving from 2D to 3D without really losing the classic look and feel. The 3D battles are more epic, the addition of cutscenes here and there gives the game more depth. There's also a lot of little things they do that make the game more immersive.

It's like they kept the good stuff, and just added more good stuff.

Just had to come here and point out that Mega Charizard Y is awesome. It gets the draught ability (auto sunny day) and some hunky stats. Things die.

So that's why I was 13 levels higher than everyone... LOL!  Didn't the person who gave it to you in the game say that the fighting pokemon gets 50% and the others get the remaining 50% divided up?  The game would've been much harder if I hadn't been using it then.  Not a big deal to me though.
