Old Pokemon General(RIP)

[Colour Bandit]

I'm looking forward to going into X&Y relatively blind, it reminds me of when I first played Ruby, I only knew about the starters from the instruction booklet and in Pearl I went in with some knowledge of the Pokemon in D/P. I'm going leave off buying the strategy guide until I've played through the games at least once, so that I don't spoil events, gyms and route pokemon, after beating the E4 I'll buy a copy so I can see if I've missed anything like hidden items or trainers.

I want this game but I'm also saving for so many other upcoming games TT . TT I heard Ace Attorney 5 is coming out soon.Also RF4.I'm broke ;~; Guess I'll have to wait awhile before buying pkmon x/y

I feel you. I'm really interested in all those games too, and I don't have the means to buy them all on release.
But I love Pokemon too much to delay on picking it up, so I'll probably be holding off on RF4 instead.

I have some money saved up from the years I got allowance. I hope to get Pokemon X as soon as it comes out, and Rune Factory 4 as well.

Part of me feels bad that I'm going to have a bunch of fire starters in my game. But the pyromaniac who wants an entire team of nothing but fire starters is just laughing maniacally and wringing her hands with glee.

This is gonna be so awesome. I think I already love the gen 6 pokemon more than the gen 1 pokemon (Save Charmander family, Mewtwo, and Machoke of course). Fennekin might beat charmander for my favorite starter if it plays it's cards right. Fennec fox + fire + witchy looking evolution = all of my love.

When IS Rune Factory coming out by the way?

 

[MadCake]

There are no brakes
ON THIS HYPE TRAIN!
Also, the mega evos will destroy Wi-Fi.
Just.. Oh god.
Blaziken + Mega Evolution = You're gonna have a bad time.

MEOWSTIC OMFG GIMMIE

I'm kind of excited to go into a POkemon generation not knowing all of the pokemon I'm going to come across. It'll be like way back when I played Pokemon Blue on the game boy color.

Build my team from scratch! Collect ALL the pokemons!

I started my file on white almost blindly, I didn't know hardly any of the new pokemon and only started knowing of all of them after I beat the elite four, and i gotta say its been way fun. Originally I hated 5th gen but after giving it a chance competitively and what not, its a really good gen. I love playing the games 'blindly', instead of using the guide

 

[Officer Berri]

When IS Rune Factory coming out by the way?

Sadly, I don't know. Last time I checked, we still didn't have a set date. I was told at the time that dates on places like Gamestop were just placeholder dates. ;-; It's gonna be my very first Rune Factory game so I'm excited for it! Picked out my husband and everything!

Oh god we're careening off topic! *turns wheel back to pokemon* ahhhhh!

I'm just gonna curl in a ball and squeal about Meowstic for a while. It's dark blue and white. That is actually one of the most beautiful color combinations in the world to me. That and the male/female sex decides what kind of moves it learns.. and the GIRL is the attack one! That is amazing! My OC Katherine has found her spirit pokemon.

 

[oath2order]

I'm excited for it too!

So apparently Furfrou was a guard to the king of Kalos region, which means I want to see the palace of this King.

As am I. The past two generations, I've known more about the region, pokemon, gym leaders, etc., than I cared to know. This time around, I've only stumbled across a few spoilers here and there, and even those aren't really experience ruining. This should be quite fun.

 

[Hamusuta]

Guys just imagine Quilladin as a little resetti with a leaf helmet :3

 

[Officer Berri]

Oh god he's here to scream at everyone who resets for shiny legendary and starter pokemon.

 

[Blues]

I'm looking forward to

Spoiler

changing my look. Will we be able to keep it while roaming Kalos, do you think? Or will it only be in icons and what-not?

 

[Isabella]

Oh god he's here to scream at everyone who resets for shiny legendary and starter pokemon.

psh what's wrong with that? it's not just for shinies, its for stats and natures as well

 

[Officer Berri]

Oh I don't care about that. Resetti-Quilladin, on the other hand...

Personally, I don't reset for anything. I just get what I get in the game. I don't care about natures or stats or anything. I play pokemon to play pokemon, not to do the crazy metagame with other people. >.> The Metagame isn't very fun at all for me. Too serious.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

I stick with what I get. I never notice the nature or anything like that so it's all just fun for me.

 

[ForgottenT]

Wild Resetti used Roar, it was super effective.

 

[kittenrobotarmy]

Wild Resetti used Roar, it was super effective.

Yes. Exactly.

 

[Sheepish]

Rune Factory 4 is coming out October 1, for those who were asking.

I don't play competitively, but I do enjoy watching competitive battles now and then. I know that natures and EVs and that sort of thing are completely unnecessary to complete the in-game story, but my brain just seems to be incapable of separating the metagame from in-game stuff. I can't help but look at the nature of my freshly caught Joltik and weep internally that it's Adamant.

Maybe not knowing the strengths of each Pokemon in X/Y off the bat will stop me from worrying about this...
