Pokémon X and Y Playthrough Discussion

To be honest, I'm not so sure that those rumors were entirely true, UNLESS they meant that it was possible to get all Pokemon by means of mechanics like the Friend Safari and what not.

Even so, I just enjoy taking the new stuff for a joyride. Checking out new Pokemon, new attacks, new abilities, etc. Like I mentioned, after I beat the E4, I immediately start collecting all the Pokemans and also build a number of competitive teams consisting of Pokemon from all Gens.

I definitely can't blame you for your reasoning, so to each their own.

So far I've run into plenty of Pokemon over each generation, and the colored flowers thing seems to be true (In the first route with red and yellow seem to give me different encounters depending on which color I'm in), so I won't doubt at the very least a large selection of Pokemon in comparison to the other games. I know when I checked out the encounter locations of the rabbit thing (for an NPC trade, I forget its name already), it was only available on like 3 routes...which is very low considering it seems to be the new trash mob for Gen 6. They're usually everywhere. The fact that it's not further supports the possibility of a large selection of Pokemon.
