Anyone who wants to trade Y version exclusives with those from X or evolutions that require a trade, let me know.

Added you. My codes:
1547-6378-0895
0490-5832-0785

For some reason, I am still not seeing that we are friends. I've checked the codes a few times to no success. Not sure what the issues are there.

I also added Ultima Shadow.\

Has anyone been able to catch a 4+ IV Ditto in the Friend Safari? I've caught a few 3s and a bunch of 2s. I heard that you can get 4+, but haven't been lucky enough myself.

This is the first game that I've decided to breed "perfect" Pokemon. So far, I've got a Greninja (w/ Protean) and an Eevee that will eventually be turned into a Leafeon (being my favorite Pokemon). Working on another Eevee that will turn into a Sylveon, though I'm not sure if this one will make it into my first party.

Still working on the (currently obtainable) Pokédex by way of trading and leveling. I haven't been on as much due to NaNoWriMo but it is happening, slowly but surely!

(Yes I'm still been playing this on a daily basis)

Just to clarify, do you have X or Y? If you have Y, I'll gladly trade you some Pokémon X exclusives (even though I have Y, I'm a bit too lazy to get them while I'm breeding). The only thing is, I only want females that are caught with Luxury Balls (I'm OCD, sorry). I'll happily trade you over some Luxury Balls if you need some (I have 995 of them right now). I have a bunch of the Pokémon X exclusives, or other useful Pokémon like both sets of starters.

Bunny, I missed your code somehow (I blame the Black Font when I use the Old Skool format). Just friended you on my main system, I'll get the other one in a few minutes.

[Del Murder]

Where do you get luxury balls?

[Bunny]

The Poke Ball specialist in Lumiose City sells them, along with most other types of Poke ball.

The Poke Ball specialist in Lumiose City sells them, along with most other types of Poke ball.

It also sells Premiere Balls by themselves, which is a first for the series. But there is another way to get Luxury Balls. You can get 5 of them on your first trip into Lumiose City. When you're visiting the Professor to get your second starter, stop on the Second Floor. There's a female scientist who gives you five of them. Since you can't then get them again until your journey takes you back around to Lumiose, I recommend using them carefully, and making sure each gets a catch (resetting if need be). Or just trading with me.

That reminds me, I need to remember to go back and catch a female Snorlax with one at some point. I should have thought of it during my first trip, but didn't.

Oh, by the way, am I the only one who didn't know about the Destructable Terrain In-Battles to Get Items?! It's a bit obscure, especially with how specific the required moves are, but that explains all the berries I couldn't find.

You are not. I JUST found out about it yesterday or the day before. I think Tasura is in the same situation because he had the same reaction I did when I told him about it. It's a really interesting way to do things!

I like the concept, but I hate the implementation. First, there are no indications in game telling you how this works or what the moves to use are. Second, the moves are way, way too specific. I mean, there are as many moves as there are Pokémon, essentially. Expecting people to not only pick up on the system, but to have the right move for it, is kind of ridiculous. Even if you figured that the odd terrain (which I had noticed before, at least twice with the Berry Trees) was able to be affected, how are you supposed to figure out the moves? I mean, I never use Zubat as part of my main team, so I never have Air Cutter. Heck, even if they made it work with Cut, who actually uses Cut in combat (Tackle is just as strong, and more accurate)?

Thank goodness for the internet. Someone stumbling upon this and sharing it is pretty much the only way this would come out. Even then it took my quite a bit of hunting around Serebii to find out where it was, and that was all because I was looking for the rest of the berries. I suppose in the strategy guide might have it. Maybe they finally figured they could get people to buy it with the information on how to get the otherwise-unobtainable items in it?

They really need to upgrade Cut. Personally, I'd give it the stats of Slash. There's just no reason for it to be so bad for so long. I know you get it early and tons of Pokémon can learn it, but make it halfway decent for once, GameFreak.

I don't know what it is, but this game hasn't really grabbed me like I was hoping it would. I haven't really been enthralled with a Pokemon game since Gen 2. I got X shortly after launch, put about 20 hours into it, put it down about two weeks ago, and haven't gone back. I just can't get into the right frame of mind for muh pogeymanz. It's like that with video games in general, lately. It's kind of distressing.

I was mostly enjoying what I played though, although rollerblades seem kind of unnecessary after you get the bike and not being able to walk with the circle pad is kind of annoying. Also, the camera angles in Lumiose are pretty horrid. Still having a lot more fun than the last Pokemon I played though (Diamond).

Pull out the Dowsing Machine and you'll walk with the Circle Pad again.

The camera angles in Lumiose are really bad, and it takes a while to get used to how to adjust them and the way you're facing properly.

[WildRaubtier]

Got around to adding everyone in this list.

[Endless]

Likewise, I have everyone added. Now if LocoColt04, Jinx and Ultima could reciprocate >.>
Also Pike, but she hates me I guess.

Quitcher bitchin' I put my friend code in the #pokemon chatroom. Your fault if you missed it

I don't have much time to play this month due to writing so I'm not on very often right now though.

[Ultima Shadow]

Anyone who wants to trade Y version exclusives with those from X or evolutions that require a trade, let me know.

If you happen to have Puppitar, I'd be interested in one.


And in just a little while, I might want some back and forth switches for evolutions too.


In other news, I just beat the elite 4 and champion and stuff. I got overleveled by accident, just like everyone else, and it wasn't really a challenge. =(
