Haha, I found a possible reference to One Hundred and One Dalmatians. In Lumiose City, at the café adjacent to the Furfrou Friseur (try saying that five times fast), there's a customer who says, "You know, when I leave home every morning, I kiss every one of my 101 Furfrou good-bye."
Also, while we're at it, the controls in Lumiose City are broken. >_>

6 – Cat333Pokémon, TurtwigX, Twiggy, Eagles, Reuniclus, SpikyEaredPichu96*facepalm* Why didn't I realize this earlier? Why is Pikachu so special? His cry was replaced with "Pika Pika," Pokemon Origins... it's not just a Red/Blue remake, it's totally gonna be Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition.
Just a speculation, but it really did take me a day to realize the cry was replaced.
|
I think the encounter rates in caves may have been lowered. I'm just not running into many wild Pokémon.

Thank the heavenly lord, this means I don't have to waste all my hard stolen cash on Super Repels anymore~
Something strange happened. I walked into the Pokémon Center (well, skated~) and I talked to Nurse Joy. But instead of her healing normally, the camera zoomed in on her face (like when you encounter a wild Pokémon) for the whole healing scene. Anyone know why? |
|
The cries certainly seem redone. Also, saving is incredibly fast!

Only problem with it is the auto sync (which I personally have disabled). It's pretty quick at home, but I'm absolutely sure my school Wi-Fi will confuse it. (It requires viewing a page in the browser and clicking "I accept.") Said Wi-Fi already confuses the eShop, making it difficult to download games at school. I wonder if that will also disable it connecting to the Internet all the time, as I don't want it hogging my battery except when I ask it to.

Strangely... this game doesn't feel as powerful as the other ones. I guess I just have to play through more of it. Which I'll do in school when I'm with my friends.
The battle graphics simply amaze me... but it's weird how they only allow 3D during that portion and cutscenes. No wonder the 2DS was released today, too. |

So i'm playing poke amie and it's like
"MAKE A BUGGED EYED FACE" SO I'M DOING THIS "O_O" but all poke amie see's is this ![]() You saying I have squinty eyes pokeamie? |
|
In the Head It minigame in Amie, what the heck are you supposed to do to knock the final large yarn ball? I haven't gotten the timing even once.

I personally hope Head It gets patched. The in-game scoring stops at 999, then you get the combo bonus, which shows that it can still go over that.
I've heard of some more serious bugs, though, like getting stuck in light poles while skating around. Those are the ones that really need to get patched.

I found a hidden empty allyway in lumios city (The really big city in the middle) But nothing was there, i wounder if a legendary is to be there. Also my tyrunt is lv50 and still hasnt evolved yet? Thought maybe the T-rex would evolve at lv40 but i guess not.

Another fun fact: you can rub your Pokémon after some battles. If your Pokémon pauses when the fanfare plays, you can rub the bottom screen to make it happy.
1 – TwiggyI skipped AP Calculus today so I could play Pokémon Y with my friends. More specifically, Super Training
I'm so overwhelmed by the grandiose of Lumiose City that I'm afraid to move on. So we fought against balloon bots for a good 90 minutes and did a little Pokémon-Amie. It was more fun than I thought.
I got around to catching Xerneas, a while ago. I don't know the catch rate of the legendary, but it must be pretty high- caught it with my 2nd Pokeball.
I think the story so far is pretty nice- as far as it is after catching the legendary.
1 – AlakazamasterI just noticed, if you rub Pikachu's electric pouches in Pokemon-Amie, your hand will actually get shocked. :I Does this happen with any other Pokemon or just another hint at Pikachu's supreme "Specialness"?
The Daycare Couple don't look old anymore, they're like in their thirties or forties.
2 – TurtwigX, SpikyEaredPichu96For those who don't know, Serebii updated their XY dex with the base stats of all the new Pokémon and all the Mega Evolutions.
2 – JDxImpetus, Ditto616|
I got burned when I rubbed too near to Charmander/Charmeleon's flames.
|

7 – JDxImpetus, Cat333Pokémon, blueumbreon, ThePokeMan, Reuniclus, SpikyEaredPichu96, PokemanmdjIt probably has been raised. Though everyone seems to be finding shinies but me. ![]()
I caught myself Zygarde yesterday, though. I love this guy. (As far as I know, it's based off the dragon which in it's mythology chewed on the roots of Yggdrasil. ) And he looks pretty neat. If they do make a Z version, I think it'd be nice to see how he could tie into the story line.
Team Flare couldn't scare a kitten, but they sure do win the award for goofiest evil team ever X3
So if Team Flare is hotter than everyone else, does that make Team Chill cooler than everyone else?
2 – Reuniclus, SpikyEaredPichu96Team Flare's flair just can't be beat~
But I still like Team Galactic the most. Cyrus's vision was beautiful and they felt like a constant threat. Team Flare doesn't show up too often, haven't seen a single evil base yet, or even a Flare Admin. I think I know who the leader is but I can't be sure...
I love their team symbol and their ridiculous pose. If I cosplay anything Pokemon related anytime soon, Team Flare Grunt is at the top of the list.
I've been doing so much Super Training these past few days. (What is school?) I can almost fully EV train any Pokemon in just 30 minutes after capture.
Yeah, I also heard tipping might raise the shiny rate, but that's absolutely untested and unconfirmed.
Also, if you need money, just go to the Battle Chateau every couple hours with the Amulet Coin. 
1 – SpikyEaredPichu96|
I know they do absolutely nothing but I keep tipping the photo guy 500...
What's wrong with me... I have such an overweening sense of morality... |
1 – NingamerI haven't yet beaten the game, but I think I found the huge problem: there is practically no post-game whatsoever beyond the usual meta-game and Battle Maison stuff. Looks like, aside from maybe some breeding, I'll be breaking out an older game (maybe I can resume White 2?) or buying Y.

I can't confirm, but I'm pretty sure that No Restrictions is the same thing as it was last Gen, what you are is what you are. But Level 50 all free battle is much better than the ultra restrictive flat battling.
1 – ReuniclusMy friend just came into my dorm room and showed me the Shiny Spinda he caught a few minutes ago. How is everyone getting shinies? I've even been trying to find one for the past 2 days.
I'm also jelly of my friend's Spinda. D;
1 – blueumbreon
2 – TurtwigX, SpikyEaredPichu96I never get shinies so this doesn't bother me at all~ But if I did get one, I'd want it to be a Klefki. Maybe I should hunt down Klefki hordes...
After all that I finally made it to Victory Road. I imagined the first trainer would say something like "You've made it to the final frontier, are you prepared for what's ahead?"
Instead, I get "Everyone keeps challenging me to battles! I just want to be alone with my Pokemon!"
This region XD
I think this is something I like about having a worldwide release (and the 3DS not yet being hacked): we have to learn everything together instead of just reading the information discovered while the games were out in Japan only.

Gah, I hate that critical captures can fail. I got all excited for nothing.
3 – SpikyEaredPichu96, Twiggy, Ditto616Having done some of the post-game activities in Pokemon X, I started up Pokemon Y for the first time to journey through Kalos once again. I wasn't a big fan of how easy Pokemon X felt, so throughout Y I won't be using the Exp. All. Based on how often I leveled up while playing X, disabling the feature should make things a lot more pleasantly difficult.
Also, did anyone else notice the return of some sounds when using moves? I got a lot more excited than I feel I should have when I heard the Gen. 1 noises of Psybeam, Psychic, and Hyper Beam. There's just something about hearing noises from the Gameboy error which is pretty great.
1 – Ditto616There is no Department Store, but Lumiose City does have most of the major stuff (Pokémon Centers with the standard fare, all purchasable Poké Balls, various stones, herbs, juice, haircuts, lottery, Furfrou froufrou, and plenty of battles).
I just realized mail is gone. Did anyone actually use it?

1 – blueumbreonI didn't have any use for mail. I had no friends to send it to so it just... sat there. But what I DID use were ball seals and I got very upset when they were first removed. So many cool features only last one generation... WHY?
Oh hey, but what about the Vs. Seeker? You didn't answer that part of my question. I want to rebattle the trainers.
2 – blueumbreon, SpikyEaredPichu96As of now, there is a limit of 100 posts per page.
