I'm sure this is all covered somewhere else in the thread but I am far too lazy to actually go looking. The game just arrived last night and my 3DS should get here tonight. Could someone (probably Skyblade) either link to or provide a good explanation of the differences in X/Y from previous games and other good tips/tricks/hints that would help in the game? Specifically, I don't quite understand what O-Powers are or how Pokemon-Amie works. Also, how do the three Pokedex's work or how are they unlocked? Is the game super non-linear where you can get a bunch of Pokemon without worry about badge progression as well?

Also, how does the friend safari thing work? Is it 3 pokemon added per friend code inputted or is it more than that?
