thatblindgeye Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 In case anyone hasn't heard, Pokemon Bank and Transporter are being delayed due to the Nintendo network being down/flooded/something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokeriño Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Just got Pokemon Y as a Christmas present. Must resist urge to pick all the fire pokemon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I spent at least 20 minutes sitting at the selection screen trying to decide between Fennekin and Chespin simply because I KNEW I was choosing Charmander later on. Still ended up with Fennekin for the secondary typing it gains. Made sure not to use Torchic because with every Pokemon game I refuse to use old Pokemon so that I can try out the new ones (Charmander was the only exception).

stokeriño Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I too picked Fennekin... I may resist Charmander and take Squirtle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) When they announced you could choose a Kanto starter I knew I would pick Charmander. Once they released the Mega Evolutions for them I was even more sold with Charizard's X Mega. If you think you would care about the abilities for the mega evolutions, you should look at them if you haven't. Also, I'm really hoping that at some point they make it so you can buy more mega stones. I really want one for Heracross, but since it's Y only and you only get one of each stone it's hard to trade for it since the only one I would give up is the one for Manectric.

Sousa Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 That all may well be true but Blastoise still gets an EVEN GIANTER CANNON on his back.And yeah the Nintendo eShop is fucked. Nintendo apparently decided to treat their Wii U and 3DS networks as one account rather than a separate thing, which is a good idea except for the fact that they sent the 3DS accounts toward the extant Wii U network and apparently suddenly realized that, oh right, a lot of people actually own 3DSeses.

thatblindgeye Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Here I was looking forward to transferring my stuff from Black 2 so that I could procrastinate on training stuff in X. And clearly Fire/Dragon Charizard beats out Cannontoise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 EVEN. GIANTER. CANNON.I play for no reason other than aesthetics tbh. Also I gave my copy of X to my seven-year-old. She took Fennekin because she thought it was the cutest. IN YOUR FACE STATWHORES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 That's one of the main reasons I chose it as well That and the typing it gains. I'm a whore for unique type combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKz Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I spent at least 20 minutes sitting at the selection screen trying to decide between Fennekin and Chespin simply because I KNEW I was choosing Charmander later on. Still ended up with Fennekin for the secondary typing it gains. Made sure not to use Torchic because with every Pokemon game I refuse to use old Pokemon so that I can try out the new ones (Charmander was the only exception). Good choice, that free Torchic basically breaks the game. I'm not sure what it was about it, but holy shit, I could kill nearly everything in one hit after like 5 minutes of grinding. I actually had to take it out of my team to let everyone else catch up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatblindgeye Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'd imagine the Speed Boost ability helps it a lot, which is actually something I want on my Blaziken once I start training them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleX Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 I'd imagine the Speed Boost ability helps it a lot, which is actually something I want on my Blaziken once I start training them again. Basically this. Hidden abilities make some Pokemon a lot more than they would have been otherwise, and Speed Boost made the Blaziken line the most powerful starter line from any generation ever. And then they went and gave it a mega evolution. Because it wasn't quite powerful enough as is. I didn't bother with the Speed Boost Torchic for that reason. My team ended up being Chesnaught, Gardevoir, Blastoise, Mawile, Torkoal and Golurk. Mega-Mawile is fantastic btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnar hendershow Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 So apparently, when Pokemon Bank goes live, if you access it before September 30th 2014, you get given a goddamn Celebi. Holy shit. Joke's on us when it goes live on October 1, 2014. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsuya Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Blaziken, Greninja and Venusaur are pretty much the only three viable starters in the metagame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sousa Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I gave the game to my daughter and she immediately got a Hasty Protean Froakie in a trade with somebody (in return for a freaking red Flabébé). Every time I tried to do a trade I always got Fletchling or Pikachu in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
