Oh, I misread it. I'll add when I get off work tonight. Is there an easy way to check your Pokemon's IVs yet this gen?

iv checker post-e4, in kilolude cities pokemon center

his responses havent changed from this too much

or the iv calculator over here

My safari isn't too great, but with sticky web, I guess Ariados is more useful... I have Seviper, Ariados, and Whirlepede (Whirl got speed boost)

Yeah, they changed Scoliopede and Chandelure's hidden abilities. A lot of Pokemon had their base stats changed too. I love the "nothing is sacred" attitude they had to making changes this generation. It's a breath of fresh air. Maybe next time they'll drop the formulaic story, too.

Idk, I kinda like how the story was in this game. I mean, it's the same story, but then suddenly things get kinda really dark, at least compared to the past games (comparable only to Ghetsis lashing out at N at the end of B/W imo). I guess it's just the large change in tone over the same story but it really feels interesting to me. Only thing I didn't like about the story is how they handled the legendaries. They were just sort of there suddenly.

GRAAAAAAAAH

I ENJOYED THAT FAR MORE THAN I SHOULD HAVE
((and I am finally back :S)

Wowee I just caught the 3rd legendary

i can't think of everything now but here I shall dump opinions in no particular order

(I got Y and stopped following info 3 weeks ago--last thing I saw was Honedge evolution)
it was really nice to see so many new pokemon-I haven't gotten to feel that in 10 years--it's really nice
EXCEPT THERE ARE FAR TOO FEW POKEMON
WAYYYYY TOO FEW
(bluh)

I really really like Froakie, Helioptile, Skrelp, and Clauncher's final evolutions. A lot (potential top 20 pokemon ever)
That being said Spritzee's is atrocious. I was expecting some awesome plague doctor dark/fairy thing and I end up with this monstrosity. Welp, no use complaining ♪
I ended the game with a Greninja, Heliolisk, Venusaur, Tyrantrum, Aromatisse, and Hawlucha.
It was the first time I didn't plan my team in a really long time : D
Delphox is okay, Chesnaught is cool--but looks nothing like the other two.
(which was actually my issue with Chespin's whole line--great pokemon individually, but I don't like them as starters (it's really just the fact that it breaks an unofficial pattern--really just personal bias :S))

Uh, the gym leaders were okay, I guess. I really only liked Ramos. A little dissapointed, but the gyms themselves were great.

The elite four was great! I loved the four of them! Victory road was really intense and well paced! The castle is beautiful! And the champion really caught me off guard (though I should have seen it coming)! Gah probably my favorite elite four!!

I really liked the story--but I wish there was a little more with AZ. The ending battle was a nice surprise though :J

WHY ARE THERE SO FEW POKEMON
HRNNNGH
I guess my issue is if you're going to have less than 75 in a gen don't show OVER 40 in the pre-release hype.
While it was nice to see older pokemon, I feel like it was just a way to inflate the lack of 'mons in game.

Dialogue was beautifully cheesy! It was lame, but in a good way. I really can't explain it, but all I can say is it's over 9000 (I only use this joke because it's actually used in game by a trainer) times better than BW2 (shudders). The localizers really had fun with it : D

I like having 4 friends instead of one rival! It was nice that there was one main one (gender counterpart) and the others were there to check your dex progress or just be nice relief. I didn't like the awkward romantic tension they tried to create with Shauna, though. I actually want to know now what they did if you picked the girl : O

Uh, I guess for final verdict--I really really really enjoyed Pokemon Y.
But at the same time there were quite a few things that frustrated me greatly (MegaCharizard X, no gen 5 megas, lack of pokemon, and other things I can't think of)
Overall I'm very satisfied and very happy. The best part by far was being able to go into the game (somewhat) blind and find new pokemon I genuinely didn't see before.
And now I can browse TSR safely again : D

(sorry for obnoxiously long post)

For anyone who hasn't heard, the breeding system has been improved again.

Last night I bred two perfect Honedges (Brave nature, 31 IVs in HP, attack, defense, sp. defense and 0 IVs in speed). The second one hatched after just over half an hour, while the first hatched from the third egg I got.

Once you get a few pokémon from the friend safari (they automatically have at least two perfect IVs) you can pretty much breed whatever you want, including things with dream world abilities and egg moves. Mothers can pass down egg moves, and fathers can also pass down dream world abilities, which allows you to create, amongst other things, a perfect speed-boost Blaziken.

I really need to quit dawdling and finish the game, lol.

Been trading using the GTS. Why does everything require either a Yveltal or Xerneas, unless you want to trade the one for the other?
But having dug through all these impossible and ridiculous trades, I managed to have seen all Pokemon from Central Kalos. I have a hunch seeing all Pokemon from all of Kalos unlocks a new area, like the Nature Reserve from Black/White 2, because I find that empty train station in Whats-that-waterfall-citys-name City slightly suspicious. Plus the Prof. might have mentioned it or hinted it, but I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention then :/

You can toggle off the trades that are looking for legendaries in the options, just for everyone to know

got an x/31/31/31/31/31 dratini

why did HP decide to be the stat that foresakes me and not spatk

y....

31/31/31/x/31/31 jolly larvitar with dragon dance and stealth rock B)

I think using perfect dittos might be over rated, I've got a few perfect pokemon with only using its own species as parents

Anyone want a near-perfect Honedge? They're free...

(I need more people for friend safari )

yeah deffinantly, 2294-4084-3063
my friend safari has some good dragons in it
