Pokémon It's the Pokemon thread - Part 2

[DareDemon]

Played this a good amount today, I was doing a Nuzlocke challenge but gave up after I lost Charizard (right after third gym). Im really liking it, but I just have to accept the fact that I will never complete my living pokedex.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Is that a good number compared to previous titles?

It's tracking above the Black and White titles, around the same place as the Gold/Silver games, I think.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

One thing I really like is not really knowing what Pokemon I'm going to encounter. I found a Cubone in Glittering Cave and caught it (I almost always catch my first encounter). I never used one before but thought I'd give him a try since Ground Pokemon and Ground moves aren't easy to come across early on in the game. He's become critical to my team, I used him against the 2nd gym and in my encounters with Poison and Steel types since I don't have any Psychic or Fire moves.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

Hey Rogue! You and I are roughly around the same point. Wanna FC exchange?

I'd love to. One thing, though - will the FC disappear when I play a new game?

Wow, that sounds really nice!

Ok guys need help. I have connected my pss to the internet but none of the guys on my 3ds friends list seems to have synced.

I'm getting a lot of passerbys but no one appearing under friends all of whom play x & y

You both need to be online playing Pokemon in order for them to show up on your in game friends list. I have a bunch of friends who have it as well but we haven't played at the same time, so they aren't in my list.

It'll be saved on your 3DS/2DS, so no.



Also, EVERYONE, I have a Lv. 48-50 Zoroark for trade. Especially handy if you aren't up to Gym 8 yet. Just PM or reply. I don't ask for much.

All I've been doing is Wonder Trading Zoroark.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Are they in the game?

I'm not interested in one right now at least, but would you happen to have a spare Ditto? I plan on breeding some Eevees since I caught a female, you can have one or its egg if you want to get an Espeon or Umbreon (Pokemon you hatch start with a higher happiness). I also have a male Litleo if you're interested (very low wild encounter rate).

 

[WolfCypher]

I can easily get another Ditto right now.

Yes, Zoroark can be attain. Yes, their encounter rates are looooow.

Cool, thanks!

No urgency to do it right now, I actually still have to figure out how to get my Friend Code.

 

[WolfCypher]

If you have a Skrelp (nicknaked ToxicSeahors) for the Ditto, that'd be great.

Otherwise...I'd still trade it for something.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I haven't gotten to the city where you get the Good Rod, I'm one city away right now. However, I will be happy to send you one once I do.

 

[WolfCypher]

Also, anyone want to battle, like now?! They autolevel your Pokémon to Level 50 for online matches.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

It'll be saved on your 3DS/2DS, so no.

OK so when I play and save a new game, will you automatically be in my list?

 

[WolfCypher]

I'm guessing...?

Wait, you're starting over?

 

[Ramsay Snow]

Yeah, my 1st playthrough is just skimming through. My next playthrough will be proper, with the use of a walkthrough and also using different Pokemon.

OK, so how do I get my FC or add yours? Can't seem to find the option.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

I feel really stupid. Here's my Friend Code: 3480-3902-3788.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Finally got Pokemon X today. Didn't get to play very much, just got to the second city after the forest. Pretty cool, bringing up lots of nostalgia. It was weird, I expected to know none of this Pokemon, but nearly all the ones I ran into were older ones.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

I run into a lot of older ones too. I agree.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I haven't seen many new ones at all, which I'm pretty fine with. The older ones I prefer anyhow. I will say that the new ones I have encountered are pretty damn cool

 

[BlackMagicWolf]

I had that feeling too at first, "Where are all the new Pokémon?" then after I Charmander to fill my party with six Pokémon, and found out that the EXP. Share is awesome it hit me...who cares? I can get the new Pokémon eventually as they show up but now I have a great chance to get a bunch of classic Pokémon as well. I've caught so many Pokémon, it's great.

But I will say this, this is the first time in a while (if ever) that I've actually been disappointed in my starter. I took Froakie (to balance out with the Charizard I knew I would get) and by the time I got Greninja and leveled it up a lot....the moves keep being stupid or useless (in my opinion). His best Water-Type move (that I've seen so far) was Water Pulse, and I got that early to replace Bubble. Thankfully I got Surf to power him up but they seem to be giving him moves based on his "ninja" status instead of being a water Pokémon.

Sad really...

 

[Spidey-Bat]

All a Water Pokemon needs is Surf (or Waterfall for the Attack-based ones). I rather a Pokemon have a more varied moveset to fit a theme than just learn a higher-damaging move of its type every few levels.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I don't have a problem with finding mostly gen 1 Pokemon, that's not what I meant. It just sort of surprised me. I remember in the others (up to what I played) you always started out finding the new Pokemon first, and then the older one, usually a lot later.

I picked the fire fox as my starter. I knew that bird you got via internet was fire, too, but I always go with the Pokemon that I think looks the best with my first play through no matter what. She pretty much walked through that first gym. Fire charge = the end of all bugs. All bugs.

 

[WolfCypher]

So, I bought another copy of X, now having 2 X and 1 Y. This wasy I can try out all three Kalos starter Pokémon from the beginning.

Don't question it.

In my current (1st) X, I perfectly EV trained my Noivern (NightFury). I'm so happy! May finally fight the Elite Four soon (I've been on Victory Road for two days).




Now that everyone here has these games, what is everyone's favorite Kalos Pokémon? Mine's Noivern. Noibat is RIDICULOUSLY cute...

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The only Kalos Pokemon on my team is Frogadier. I hated Greninja, but he's actually growing on me and I'm really looking forward to him evolving and being Water/Dark since Psychics are kinda giving me some issues.

I do like Pancham/Pangoro and Litleo/Pyroar a lot even though I won't be using them. Noibat and Noivern look cool. I'm going to try to get one soon via trade somewhere.

Y has made me enjoy other Pokemon I never played with before. Cubone has been immensely valuable and I have the chance to get an Espeon early who was always my 2nd favorite Eeveelution.
