Nope no Vs Seeker AGAIN.

Seriously Game Freak to have just forgotten about this very important feature.

I'd rather see the same old same old if that means more money and more EXP. I guess that also means you can't have better battles with Gym Leaders.

Okay, I can't find a place in Lumiose, can't buy anything at the Pokemon League, where can I buy Quick Balls and all the rest of them?

I bred some Pokemon the other day and sent them over to my new Y version to use them in this run, and noticed that they were in Ultra Balls rather than Poke Balls! I guess whichever kind of Poke Ball you have first in your inventory becomes the one used when hatching babies, which is a small but nice addition to the game.

• Soda Pop can be purchased in bulk in Cyllage Town from the vendor in the center of the town.
• Moo Moo Milk can be bought in bulk in Dendemille Town from the vendor outside of the Pokémon Center.
• Fresh Water can be bought (not in bulk) from the vendor in the Power Plant's control room.
• Lemonade cannot be bought.

You must have cleared Team Flare from the Power Plant to reduce the price of water to 100 Poké. Otherwise, it costs 300 Poké.

You can also rematch gym leaders at the Battle Chateau.

Well I got a Yveltal for my Xerneas on GTS now I've caught every single Kalos Pokemon.

Now I just need to wait three months and my dex will be full again.

Is there a way (besides doing the writs) to increase the levels of pokemons in the battle chatu? ‹–(cant spell it) Im tired of fighting lv20-25 people and then a few 30s.

Speaking of O-powers, i heard you can get hatching O-power as well, but i havnt found it. All i know is that u have to max out your style in lumips city for the O-power guy to show up.

One feature I actually do like about this game is the Battle Maison. BP earnings are so much more sensible now! And because my Pokemon were trained right winning is ridiculously easy. There's also this flippant Nurse Joy that gives this tirade about the nurse stereotype. I love her, new waifu~<3

Also, if there is one thing I miss that could be grouped with the other generational gimmicks, it's the Secret Bases, particularly how they were handled in Gen III. It was awesome mixing records and finding the Secret Bases hidden around Hoenn. The best part was you could battle their team every day. The Underground in Gen IV was awesome too, but more so because of the mining game than the Secret Bases.

Has anyone managed to get an Oval Charm? I hope it doesn't involve completing the Pokedex.

Mega Stone are only available 8PM-9PM.


Oval Charm is in Lumiose City

20 normal battles in the Battle Maison- 48 BP
21 normal battles in the Battle Subway or other Tower- 16 BP

And that is why the Battle Maison will be my new favorite thing. I feel like there's more emphasis on competitive PvP content and less emphasis on in-game adventuring...

Remember the Yveltal sticker that I had? Well, I did an ill-advised attempt of removing it.

Now I'm one sticker less. At least the residue is easy to clean up... And there's probably a newer, better one with the next pre-order game.

The Battle Maison, somehow, seems better than all of the battle facilities in previous games. Not a clue why.

Found a typo on the back of the Pokémon X/Y strategy guide:

"From your first step into the tall grass and your earliest battles on Route 1..."

There are no battles on Route 1.

Yup, the Battle Maison is EVERYTHING. You can rest after every battle and continue your streak whenever you feel like it. Combined with that sweet BP boost, I don't know how much more generous they could be. Free evolution stones every time you beat the Maison... French-word leaders? And I love the fact that you can change the music, though I will never move it off of Vs. Gym Leader (Music 4.)

And there's this. Endless giggles.

Is that seriously a Lolcat reference?!

Given the reference to Salvatore Dali and Reggie's Wii Fit E3 Conference line, I'm not surprised by any of these anymore

I'm loving all the references. Any Pony ones yet?

The Battle Maison is full of too much critical hit hax. Lost against the leader thanks to that. It's annoying you have to go through twenty battles to try again, too. I remember most of the gym leaders in the Pokémon World Tournament were pushovers by comparison.

I like how you italicize twenty even though that's still less than the Battle Tower/Subway.

Maybe you're just an unlucky guy. I won on my first try and got the BP overflow of a lifetime. And yet I haven't made it back to the leader yet because something always stops me on battle 18 or 19

Yeah, I know it was 21 before, but that's the third time I lost to hax.

What the heck? You have to flip the 3DS upside-down when Inkay reaches level 30 for it to evolve?

It kind of already uses it in Amie. Shake the 3DS to see what I mean. No idea if that does anything in particular, though.

Also, found a grammatical error:

Yeah somehow the leader sent out purugly and kept spaming hypnosis and dream eater, i couldnt do a thing even though my pokemon where faster than it, it somehow always went first and hit me with a 60% hit rate move. And i used Evd pokes with max speec ivs too. (heck even garchomp lost to it O.o)

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that ghost and dark are now neutral to steel? Jirachi is going to be easier to take down.

Glameow isn't obtainable in this game and there's something I want to point out.

Someone at Game Freak must really hate that Cat because in the last 11 game versions Glameow has only been available in two of them!

One of them only available through special means meaning Glameow has barely been catchable since Pearl!

Seriously I think it's gotten to a point where most legendaries are more easily available then this freaking cat!

I think it means that you collected Holo Caster data. I dunno, I didn't bother turning that on.

I just experienced the most embarrassing loss ever. My entire team felled by a single Lunatone. It kept spamming Hypnosis and Confusion, and for some reason Confusion kept getting lucky and always made my mons "hurt themselves in the confusion". Rock Polish didn't help either. It kept going first.

Here's something that seriously irritates me.

I decided to try Wi-Fi battles because I was bored.

However everyone I faced had all these competative teams set up.

THE GAME HASN'T EVEN BEEN OUT FOR A FULL MONTH CAN'T PEOPLE ENJOY IT WHILE THEY STILL CAN BEFORE WORRYING ABOUT EV TRAINING!!!!

Seriously I'm really annoyed by this.

Also Boom Burst is a broken move.

Has anyone yet figured out of Azurill still undergoes sequential hermaphroditism where some females change gender upon evolution?

The fact that you can change Furfrou's hairstyle in this game is funny.


Some look decent, but others look ridiculous.

Am I the only person that noticed some slight texture warping on the tiled floor of Battle Chateau battle BGs?

At least it's not PS1 bad, but I'm surprised that it is showing up in a 3DS game.

Hm, am I the only person who finds it strange that the Stone Emporium sells Water, Leaf, and Fire Stones but does not sell Thunder Stones? I know you can easily get them from Super Training, but it's still kind of strange.

Also, a random aside: Thunderstone was changed to Thunder Stone in Pokémon X/Y (like several other items, including Tiny Mushroom and Paralyze Heal). The thunderstone (and the firestone) is a real concept, albeit an obsolete one.

I got a Ditto with Pokerus so if any wants to infect there pokemon they can come to me.

Strange, apparently they slightly tweaked Soft Resetting. Instead of L+R+Start+Select, it's either L+R+Start or L+R+Select. I wonder why they made that minor tweak. Easier on the hands to press, especially for those fat ugly 3DS XLs?

Uhh, any reason the Laverre City clock goes up to 13 o'clock?

Also, is there any point to Sushi High Roller? It's apparently more expensive (450,000 Poké) than what you can earn (something like 250,000 Poké).

I got a question: Is there a thread or something where i can post battle video numbers from an X&Y battle? That or i can make a small thread somewhere i post my Vid numbers.

Style lowers the cost of the starter Mega Stones at the Stone Emporium, taxicab rides, and the shops around Lumiose City. It also unlocks additional hairstyles, Furfrou trims, juices, and PR video effects. Finally, as mentioned, it grants access to Boutique Couture.

I finally completed my cross generation team! It only took me a little over a week and a lot of playing Pokemon Y in class. Now I think I can finally relax... but I still need to test it a bit.

I'm jealous, I'm only almost done breeding my 3rd pokemon of my first competitive team. It's a theme team, but I think with a bit of tweaking it'll be viable in doubles/triples very easily.

Oh please, I still need to create a new grass team (Most likely an All Generation Grass) and a perfect Speed Boost Mega Blaziken so I can advocate how unrivaled it is. But it's only for singles and maybe rotationals, I'd die in a double battle and I'd be too confused in a single battle

Well, it was inevitable, but it finally happened. My honeymoon period with X and Y has ended and now its time to get down to business. The game has astounded me visually and design-wise, but now I must go back to what I am best at: intense grinding and team building!

There are a number of Pokemon I can catch in-game to help me build competitive teams, but this generation there seems to be a strong focus on interacting with other trainers which means I will need to do a lot of trading. I'll be doing a lot of trading with people on this site and other sites, which will keep me quite busy.

EV training seems far easier this generation, but the process of hatching eggs for natures and IVs is torture enough. I'm going to have to do a lot of research to find the quickest way to breed and get moves on certain Pokemon. I have two teams in mind, which means around 10 Pokemon I want to breed.

...this is going to be a lot of work.

Breeding makes me sleepy, so I make sure I do it before going to bed. Anyways, it's really a pain to do. I just get the right nature, gets Everstone. Find male with a high IV of some kind, give it Power item. After that, whatever Egg gets "outstanding" or "above average" works for me.

Constant breeding can make me angry, but then again everything can so it's nothing new. I always look for relatively superior Pokemon with the IVs I want. And if it somehow turns out to have outstanding potential it's just <3333

I found this battle video about hax within the Battle Maison. You might cry:
68TW-WWWW-WWW2-JCDY

I got so scared when I accidentally pressed "Save battle video." I thought it was going to overwrite. I heard that the number of Battle Videos might have been increased but I flipped when I saw that the max was 100. And MOCK BATTLING. It's like having a Wifi battle with a CPU of your friends~ I feel so not alone~

I tried Team Up battles in the Battle Mansion.

The Friends you have on your 3DS have there own pre made teams and characters with incredibly deformed eyes.

How on Earth is this fair?! The Battle Institute cheats as much as the Battle Maison, and this one guy had four legendary Pokémon! And of course, accuracy hax at its finest: I lost 1-0 with Latios at 10 HP thanks to Dazzling Gleam missing.

Battle Videos are not encrypted in the same way, nor are they tied to a specific save file. I'm willing to bet they can be freely moved between games.

I have just now beaten every single Battle Chatelaine and unlocked the Super Challenges. My team is working so well for me that I might just stick with Supers instead of staying with the regular. I wonder how rewarding it is at 20 battles...

While beating the Maison Chatelaines for the Battle Videos I somehow accumulated 256 BP. That's insane, I've never had this much before, and if I beat it just one more time I'll roll over to 300. Even if Kalos is the greediest region of them all, it's also the most generous.

One thing that's been on my mind for a while now: what happens if you use Trick or whatever on a Pokemon holding a Mega Stone?

Well then I think nothing would happen if it were to happen since the Evolution already took place

Moves that block or interrupt item useage don't effect Mega Evolutions if they already happened, tested it with Embargo and Thief. I am disappoint, son.

Has anyone noticed a slight oddity with Frogadier and Pokemon-amie? In his 3D model in battle and the stat screen, his eyes are normal looking, but in amie his pupils are just slits.

So, I was chaining for a Pokémon recently. When I got to around chain #25, the Pokeradar music changed (there were more trumpets and horns and it was faster). Anybody know what this means?

I've heard that it might mean that there's a high possibility to find a shiny Pokémon, but I don't know. My chain ended at 31.

EDIT: I actually found the theme, it's called Pokeradar Panic
