Why is everyone going with Y? I thought X was the cooler letter.
New pokemon! now with even slower battles!
Um.
Which version has the better legendaries and mega evolutions? I need pics.
Oh shit! and it only took them like 15 years!
I'm too broke and distracted to dive into this now. But if I buy it, say, a few months from now will the community still be thriving and noob friendly?
(I haven't legitimately played a Poke title since... Crystal?)
Digital with no account system. :holeup Andy... :goty

I got X also. Did anyone get Y?
since everyone here is buying this, I'm eager to hear some the impressions from a more discerning crowd.
I want this in the way I've wanted every Pokemon since Blue/Red, but the originals are the only games that kept my attention past ~10 hours, maybe because I was part of its demographic back then. People are saying this game goes deep with Blue/Red nostalgia, so maybe I'm part of its demographic right now.

Red/Blue nostlagia? How so?
I got Black 2 and found it boring by hour 10 as well. I loved Blue back in the day but I was a 13 year old so I was a target demographic.
List wars:
1. SoulSilver
2. White
3. Platinum
4. Silver
5. Blue / Yellow
6. White 2
7. Pearl
8. Sapphire
also do you still have to level the fuckers by individual hand or do they al lshare a xp pool yet
how long does it take to get that
that is the most embarrasing sentence posted on the bore in a long time parallax
Cant say you ever received XP for catching pokemon. Was that introduced in B/W? Certainly wasnt in Platinum.
is there still random battlesHow else would you find Pokemon?
Andy, I'm assuming there are the same save restrictions as there are for Animal Crossing as far as backups go?
Wonder Trade is great but kinda breaks the game. I've gotten cool shit from Japanese players while trading crap like Dunsparce, lol.
It's like a Pokemon glory hole!
Arbys, infect other pokemon with the pokerus and hand them out.how do you do that? in previous games you just keep them in your party right?

Gamefly shipped X today :rock
Does it allow for multiple saves?
Does it matter, if you rented it? Lol.
And sorry Andrex, most people get bored with Pokemon after awhile
HEY BUTTHOLES I'm 0344 9461 7270, let me know if you add meadded you mayne
Didn't the 3DS have an update that lets you backup saves from a cart to an SD card?
I had my system crash when I put it in sleep mode; lights were still on but the system wouldn't wake up. Buggy-ass game, wait for a patch (lol).
I'm playing this with my gf (she got x, I got y) and it's my first pokemon ever. Trying to figure out how to play these games.
So it seems like instead of everyone in your active party getting xp after battle, only the pokemon that participated do?
And it doesn't split the xp divided on the number of participants.
This seems dumb because it encourages basically switching each pokemon in and doing 1 attack and then switching out, which just slows down the battle. I'm not bothering with that though cause it's too tedious so I'm just figuring on not using most of my party and not having them level up and then when I get to higher level enemies I'll switch them in and they'll catch up in an instant with everyone else. Does that actually work?
The battle system seems ridiculously focused on buffing/debuffing. Like 80% attacks each pokemon have so far are buffs/debuffs and maybe 1 actual attack. Some pokemon don't even have an attack only buffs/debuffs at their starting skill list. Also the AI enemies tend to debuff/buff for half their turns. I kind of don't like the latter because it just makes random battles take longer (I wish the game had a speed up battle button), but I'm more just totally confused. Is this going to be challenging enough that buffing/debuffing matters? Because if it's a generally easy rpg where it doesn't, then it seems like 80% of their move set is pointless.
Why does the main dude control like a tank? Weird ass physics.
Thanks Tasty Meat & Demi!
btw, how long is the single player storyline in these games? Am I looking at a 30 hour rpg, a 50 hour rpg, or something much shorter or longer?
The thing is that the game seems kind of easy (yeah I know I'm very early in), just seems like you use a strong attack to hit their weakness and kill them.
1. I know the pure elemental system is water->fire->wind rock/paper/scissors. But what about the other elements like Electric/Dark/Bug/Flying. It seems like Flying >>> Bug because I used a flying attack on the first all-bug tournament and killed everyone in like 1 hit each time for major damage. But what does bug > ???? and electric > ??? and stuff? Is there a list somewhere.
2. So every pokemon has basically 2 elements? 1 = element like fire, 2 = the type of creature they are (flying/bug/fairy). So for max damage you want to use attacks that are strong against both elements?
3. All the attacks have PP, but you have so much PP per attack it seems like you should just keep using the strongest one. This is without even getting into items. At some point does PP become strategic and you need to watch your PP usage?
4. Does it get tough to catch pokemon later? So far when I do want to get one I just hit its HP into the red and throw a pokeball. But some NPC said it's easier to catch them if you charm or sleep them. So does it make sense to keep a pokemon around with charm or sleep to use on an enemy for capturing purposes.
5. I like the game, but yeah, teach me how to get some good tasty strategic battle or character growth depth out of it so I don't get bored. So far it's been auto-mated walk in the park, which is not bad but it's not exciting. Doesn't help that the game is an rpg with no storyline so far. Hoping when I meet the professor it'll get a story?
I'm pretty impressed by the graphics in battle. All the animations for the attacks are cool. Like I picked Fennekin the firefox to start and the flame sonic dash thing it gets has a damn nice fire swirl animation that would look great in any modern rpg.
Your friend code can be found by going to the "Friends" tab of your 3DS. It is laid out on your own card.
And your first pokemon? Shame you missed the nostalgia rush from Red/Blue.

Nintendo acknowledged the Lumiose City glitch. Here is a map where you shouldn't save lest you feel like losing all your hard work (basically the outer ring)

You guys are talking way too much about some crappy JRPG series, bring it back to Pokemans. :wag
Is it possible to simply gift a Pokémon to somebody?
Also, this game proves how incredibly shit Nintendo is at the Internet. I like how it will totally break the Internet connection if you hit the home button to go to the DS system overlay. SMH
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International have postponed the launch of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter - two software applications that were originally scheduled to launch for Nintendo 3DS on Dec. 27 - due to a large volume of traffic to the Nintendo Network service. Due to the high traffic, players are having trouble setting up Nintendo Network IDs and downloading content in the Nintendo eShop on both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. We truly regret the inconvenience, and wish to reassure everyone that providing a solution is our top priority. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your continued patience.
my wife has put more hours into this than i put into skyrim. wtf is going on with this game
