Pokémon X&Y post-launch discussion thread - AKA Jinx is Upset

[Ultima Shadow]

Pokerus + Horde encounters is the fastest way to EV train if you want to max out a stat or two. Super Training is for when you want very precise EV spreads (like 64 in one stat and 188 in another etc). Even if I want something like 132, 126, 252 though, I usually just use supertraining for, say, the 126 stat, then I max out the 252 stat with pokerus + horde encounters and then I do the same to fill out the remaining stat. So pokerus is certainly still very relevant for hardcore EV-trainers.

Actually getting pokerus is probably not a big deal anymore because most people who want it already have it though, more or less.

Preference for Pokes that cannot be gotten in Y, like X exclusives and any legendaries. Any members of the Fennekin, Chespin, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur families too.

"Hmmm, I think we have plenty
of Charmanders, Froakies and
Fennekins to spare. So we
can give you some of those."











"You intend to just give them away?
That's disgusting. You have to make
it the reward of a hopeless struggle
or something. I mean... what would
the world look like if everyone just
helped each other out for free?"











"...it would be a much happier
place, free from pointless conflicts?"
"Exactly. Absolutely disgusting."











"How about you make your own 'gyms' then.
Everyone picks a 'theme' and three pokemons
that fit that theme. If NCG or anyone else can
beat a gym, there will be a reward."











"Seems like a lot of trouble just to
trade some starters... but I kinda
like the idea though. It does sound
like fun. I'll go inform the others."

Also, my friend code is 0404-7554-8374, if anyone wants to add me

I added you. Also check this.

[Skyblade]

shion, I registered you on my main system (1547-6378-0895). I'm planning on doing a system transfer of it to my 3DS XL, so that will mean my secondary Friend Code will change, so don't bother with it.

Remember to friend back everyone who friends you.

2122-6914-9713, Shaibana

[Ultima Shadow]

I'll take you on that offer.

"Hmmm, I might add one of my own.
I will be using four pokemons though
and my Gym will be known as the
'Despair Gym'. If you win, feel free to
take a shiny Trevenant or something.
But... don't expect me to show mercy."

[Dat Matt]

p.s isnt it a bit confusing that you have to name the person yrself that you have added?

This only applies to the person adding first. If you just name it something the "AAAAAA" Then then he second person registers the name comes through automatically.

[Shaibana]

does anyone know how to catch Articuno?
i have randomly encountered Articuno 2x, but even before you are able to select anything it already flies of!

You need to encounter it 12 times, then it'll fly to Sea Spirit's Den where it'll stay so you can attempt to catch it.

SHION NAMED HER SQUIRTLE AFTER ME :3

[Pumpkin]

SHION NAMED HER SQUIRTLE AFTER ME :3

Yes. Yes that is exactly what it was. It certainly wasn't my habit of naming Pokemon names that start with the same letters as their Pokemon name, and Samantha being the only name I could think of that I hadn't used yet. Wasn't that at all

So is the name going to change when it becomes a Wartortle or a Blastoise?

[Pumpkin]

So is the name going to change when it becomes a Wartortle or a Blastoise?

No, I'm not that good at planning ahead. And it already is a Wartortle ;__;

[Fynn]

And your Fennekin's name is Finn and Panpour's name is Patrick! That's, like, both of them are me if you change the "is" into "ys"
