Pokémon X and Pokémon Y

[00:11] <@Jon_> are you joking
[00:11] <@Jon_> I have 41.87 in my eshop wallet
[00:12] <@Jon_> it's 42.79
[00:12] <@Jon_> =_=

and now adding funds isn't working

hahahahahahha

edit: at 12:20, finally downloading Y.

If you set your location to Alaska in the eShop settings you get 0 tax on all games. Lol.

There's also no tax in Virginia, for some reason. My Wii U and 3DS are both set to Virginia and neither of them have tax in the eShop. Unless it was added recently, of course. In which case, I don't know.

For just regular play, Modest is probably the best.

Cool. Thanks. I don't really plan on ever going competitive (except for within my circle of friends), so that sounds perfect.


Also, does anyone have a confirmation on what Froakie's types are and what Nature would be good on him? My other friend is curious.

 Spoiler

Starts off as Water and final evolution is Water/Dark. Greninja has decent attack, high special attack and extremely high speed. Based on how you'd want to use him, different Natures would work better, mixed attacker, special attacker, fast attacker. I went with a special attack increasing Nature, since his speed is already high and I don't feel like there are enough physical Water or Dark moves to warrant making him a mixed attacker.

My in-game friends list just jumped up by about 7 or 8 people haha, good to see.

I'm tempted to troll you all by giving you the "Encounter Rate level 1" O-power during the early parts of the game. hehe.

Go for it - I tend to grind out early levels anyway.

On the topic of no tax, I don't think any of the games I've downloaded (Animal Crossing, Mario & Luigi and a few others) had tax applied to them. My DS is set to South Carolina.

Just heard something drop on the doormat. Rushed to the door to find... a newspaper. I still have to finish some work so it's probably for the best.

I'm going to try to play without the Exp. Share on "Set" (where you can't automatically switch after KOing). Should be a decent challenge.

When can you trade from other versions?

You'll be able to move over Pokémon from older games via the Bank on Dec. 27th, when the Bank goes live.

Got the game! YOU NOW GET EXP FROM CATCHING POKEMON! This is going to help me out a lot.

Just got my copy. Found out that my GameStop actually did have a midnight release of it. But it wasn't on the GameStop website, as their manager just decided to do it. So I missed that.

Oh well, time to spend my day being a very productive Pokemon trainer.

Anyone found a Pikachu yet? And where?

And it's a tad annoying how the PSS system disconnects whenever you put your 3DS into Sleep mode. Maybe it's a bug or not, but I thought it would be persistent even in Sleep mode.

There's a pikachu in the very first forest you're in.
I found one.

I know it was reported to have framerate problems when using 3D back at PAX(?), but man, even when selecting your Pokemon if you have 3D on your frames go well below 30.. holy pomegranate lol.

New exp share is so overpowered. This is going to make leveling pokemons 10 times easier.

Also, what the hell is wrong with Flabébé? I can't seem to be able to catch her.

I think I got the first shiny Pokemon among us folks...

Begging the question of what this will do to the patterns when it evolves...

Congratulations.


Anyone know if the event for the Torchic is up yet? I've been sitting here on the "Searching for a gift" screen for about 5 minutes already.

Edit : Never mind. It finally came through.

Man, it took me forever to get a Modest Fennekin. Glad I got one, though.

I have a pikachu if you wanna do a switcharoo
Also is there a symbol on the pokemon that says its shiny (star or smoething) or you just gotta look at it?

the little red star at the bottom meant it was shiny in previous games, so i assume it means so here too.

Y get, now to wait for the 3DS, gonna get my brothers to get me a charmanderX stone though.
