I am still unable to find any of these supposedly random postgame Mega Stones and I'm kinda bummed about it.

Have you talked to your rival in Kiloude Town? They should be at the top of the town. Battle and beat them and they'll send you to see Sycamore, who'll upgrade your Mega Ring to detect hidden Mega Stones between 8pm and 9pm.

Does anyone know if you can get X exclusive pokemon's megastones in Y and vise versa? Because then getting all the megas would be a huuuuge pain.

Aggron and Tyranitar's are for sure in the opposite version that they appear in. And while you can trade the stones, I'm pretty sure you only get one per file.

I think that's how it works. You get, say, Aggron in X, and Aggronite in Y, and vice versa for Tyranitar, for example.

Edit: Beaten, and with the same example to boot.

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
So I can't find it anywhere, does X and Y have the seasons from B/W? Or the day/night cycle? Or both?

I miss the day/night cycle and staying up late to catch some pokemon. Although on the other hand it meant I mostly caught nocturnal pokemon and had to go out of my way to catch the day ones, since I'm usually up late.

I don't think Mega evolutions are going to be as scary as people think. Mega Alakazam, for instance, is almost certainly not going to be as good as Magic Guard Alakazam with a Life Orb etc.

Tons of regular pokemon are still going to curbstomp them, if only because they can use things like Choice items (which are a bigger boost than any Mega form we know of bar Mawile).

The scary part is that they can practically be both.

Your opponent can send out an Alakazam, and you'll have no idea whether its carrying a Focus Sash, Life Orb, or Alakazite until it acts or you scout it out. The unknown factor is a huge amount of pressure and an advantage in all mega-evo's favor. I imagine we'll start seeing competitive teams who carry multiple pokemon who have the ability to mega-evolve, even though you can only have one mega-evolution in a team (I think that's what I read?), just to keep the opponent on edge.

You go with the fake Mew's Truck instead of the actual 'This pokemon can only be found rarely in four randomized tiles of water' or 'Have a party that starts with a Wailord and ends with a Relincanth to open this rock'?

Well, Black/White had night, but it didn't effect pokemon spawns AFAIK.

Any reference to seasons yet? Do the trees have noticeable seasons?

I prefer the day/night to seasons anyways, since the seasons weren't tied to real world time. I'm curious how X&Y do it.

I have never played a Pokemon game before (First came out when I was a too-cool-for-kiddie-games 14 year-old). But I'm sitting on that $30 eshop credit from the Fire Emblem/SMT IV deal and the latter game has revealed an itch I never thought I had. An itch for digitally hoarding fictional creatures.

Guess I know what I'll be doing at midnight tonight!

Arguably, the Z legendary fits more with this legend than Goomy does. Both could have been inspired by it.

That bites, but I'm hoping for some way to get the opposite megastones without having to trade mine away. May have to wait for someone to gameshark them in though.
