thatblindgeye Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Yeah I think I might ditch Flabebe. It evolved and I finally checked its ability; seems like something more for double battles than anything. On the plus side I got Honedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm getting a Honedge from a friend in a trade. Also people are putting numbers in lieu of letters to break the censor and still have offensive names for Pokemon. Oh boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Does time of day affect anything in terms of what's out there? I noticed that it was night in the game when I played this evening, and my Mons list seems pretty disparate from VE (I got the green and blue monkeys, Scatterbug, Weedle, Caterpie, ...the zigzagdog thing that I named Dolph, and Pikachu).

GoGo Yubari Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 My friend code: 3797-6366-4652Beat the first gym earlier today by the skin of my teeth. Current lineup, all named after comic book characters (mostly villains), is Froakie (Batroc), Bunnaby (White Rabbit), Caterpie (Ambush Bug, because I can't use "Killer Moth" because THINK OF THE CHILDREN OR SOMETHING), and Fletchling (Toomes, in honor of The Vulture).

I ran into all of those Pokemon in the afternoon yesterday. I'm not sure if time of day has really affected what kind of Pokemon you can catch, though. Also, for an area after the fifth town. Not really a spoiler but just in case FUCKING CAVE IS CALLED ZUBAT ROOST Edited October 13, 2013 by Vitamin E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berober Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 The only thing I encountered time of day affecting was the evolution of the fossil Pokemon I chose, being that it needs to be night as well at the required level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just got my fossil Pokemon (along with a couple Old Amber from smashing rocks). That cave was pretty awesome to go through, even if it wasn't exactly big. Right now I'm going to go with a team of Charmeleon, Braixen, Helioptile (to replace Pikachu), Honedge, Pancham, and Tyrunt. Think that should prove to be a decent line-up for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooregasm Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Two things: First, where do you find your friend code? Second, how the fuck do you get into the Boutique in Lumoise town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) The 3DS friend code should be in your friends list (the smiley face at the top of the 3DS menu). I assume the boutique is in northern Lumiose, in which case you can't access that part yet. Also, just added you GoGo.

Mooregasm Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Ah crap, it's a part of the DS. I thought it was an in-game thing and I'm currently borrowing a frirnd's DS. And I can access Northern Lumiose, I'm just 'bout to challenge the gym there. It's in the eiffel tower lookalike and HOLY CRAP IT'S A FRIGGIN' GAME SHOW However, the Boutique is in Sothern Lumiose. The lady kicks you out as soon as you enter. Edited October 13, 2013 by Mooregasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Reuben Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Having such a blast. Frogadier, Ivysaur, Diggersby, Fletchinder, Pancham and Tyrunt. Used a Gulpin for a while, but I didn't know you could get the fossil so early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 DAMN IT ABRA GET CAUGHT ALREADY JESUSOh also. The hordes. The hordes are fucking terrible. The little Plus/Minus guys don't even fucking attack, so you've just got to sit there and pound on them until they die and it takes years and aaaaaaaaugh.

thatblindgeye Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Yeah, hordes sound interesting but they kind of suck if you don't have a move that hits multiple targets. I'm really hoping later in the game the hordes get higher than level 11. Not even worth it when I have level 30's against them. Now I have Delphox, Charizard, Doublade, Helioptile, Pangoro, and Tyrunt on the team. Will most likely have Tyrantrum tomorrow. Just made it out of the Reflection Cave and it looked really nice in there. Edited October 14, 2013 by Vitamin E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I just caught a Honedge! And the psychic kitteh (I don't know what it's called, I named it Kitteh). Kitteh will be the psychic one instead of Kadabralakazam.Wait, why is Honedge hitting badmons with his scabbard? YOU ARE A SWORD HONEDGE. HIT THEM WITH YOUR YOU.EDIT: Wait no he doesn't. He does hit them with his him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 So right now my team is: Chester the Chespin Lv27 Charlie the Charmander Lv25 Buster the Honedge Lv17 (my favourite name of the ones I've given) Ninja Bob the Nincada Lv17 (levelling up for Ninjask/Shedinja since I've never raised them, but this is the most likely one I'll drop) Psykitty the Espurr Lv13 Hawlucha will be added, but not sure who I'll drop out of Ninjask/Shedinja. I've not even hit the second gym yet >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes me want to die inside. I spent an hour trying to FIND ONE after the first teleported away before giving up. I kind of like Hordes, but they're a pain in the ass until you get a AOE move. It's cool though, some Pokemon have always had the idea that they nest together, so it never made a ton of sense that you only ever fought one at a time.

Benji Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't really get the point of hordes at all. Can someone elighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 I got my Abra. My team right now is Froie the Froakie, Swordchucks the Honedge, BobDolebasaur the Ivysaur, Combusken the Combusken That I Haven't Renamed Yet, Encarta the Kadabra, and Snorlax. Whom I will not rename. He shall be called Snorlax.Did it take anyone else a dog's age to get to the second gym? I haven't gotten my fossils yet and my Mons are pushing right up against level 30, so I'm worried there may be INSURRECTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katsuya Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yeah, I'm beginning to think that Game Freak kind of threw the Exp. Share in late on and forgot to playtest it after that. Suffice to say, by the third Gym, I had about 5 levels on the gym leader having not even tried to grind. Got the Mega Ring and off to the next Gym, I presume. The game didn't really give me any instructions for once after getting the Mega Ring running with: Sabrina the Delphox Silvanus the Venusaur (w/ Venusaurite) Phoebe the Golduck Reby the Raichu Hawk Hogan the Hawlucha Lancelot the Doublade Debating when I'm gonna evolve up to Aegislash, but that's pretty much my team sorted I think.
