When do you get Fly? I'm only on like the 4th gym, but I really want to go back to some previous towns for clothing shop stuff and don't want to deal with biking all over the place.

Very soon I think. I'm pretty sure 4th badge lets you use fly outside of battle and I got the HM like right before that.

Question: Are there any items in this game like the lightball that make unevolved pokemon somewhat more viable? I want Wartortle and Bulbasaur to be unevolved but still useful

Boxes! How are you guys organized? I have a box for each type (two boxes for normal, grass, water and bug), a box for eggs, another for legendaries, a breeding box (where I dump parents), a whole box for Unown types and another for Vivillons. The rest are labelled "other" and it's where I leave trading fodder.

In every game I end up making a box called *Hearts* where I store the Pokes I'm going to end up using at some point, and then after that I more or less just let the boxes autofill. When I'm able to transfer all of my previous boxes over, I'm thinking of undertaking the task of sorting by National Dex number!

In one of the office buildings in Not-Paris there was a guy saying he was collecting the trash, which I assume was supposed to be a subtle "hey don't bother kid" thing, but I still checked most of them.

And there was nothing.

If they want me to stop bothering, they should stop having them react. Or just stop including trash cans. There were items in them before, the moment I stop checking there will be again....

Remember when everyone thought Sliggoo evolved at level 70? I'm starting to seriously wish that were actually the case right now. I've spent forever waiting around route 14 and anywhere else I can think of where it might rain to no avail. I'm starting to wonder at this point if I somehow tripped a flag that makes it not rain anywhere for some reason.

I'm playing Black 2 to scratch the itch since I can't get one of the new games, and I've found one Revive in a trash can. I think it was in the Nimbasa amusement park.

Why does the Galette store clerk say "All our success is thanks to you!" I've never even met you, lady.

e. she also gave me a discount, so maybe it just assumes you've been there before when you make it to that style level?

Do you have Monster Hunter on your 3DS? If you do, it borrows the Desire Sensor from it.

So I've managed to get a copy of the Pokemon X/Y Guidebook. While it doesn't cover everything, it does have some useful stuff, like egg groups, routes and most importantly stylish points. Do you want me to upload things from the book or is that considered :filez:

Note: I don't have a scanner, but my Nikon is pretty good at taking pictures. I won't upload all 300 pages, although if you have any requests I'll gladly help.

I think information itself wouldn't be :filez:, or some particularly useful charts or highlights, but be careful about how much you post directly from it(like, pictures or scans, not typed up stuff). You'd be better off transcribing information- everything in that guide is going to make it's way to a wiki or whatever soon enough, so typing up egg groups or what's on what routes is probably okay.

I don't know where you're at in the game (I'm not even at the second badge yet). But generally, Dragon Type Pokemon are ridiculously powerful and usually learn a good variety of moves via level up and TMs. But they also tend to evolve at later levels so you very well may get to the E4 and even a bit into the post-game and not have your dragon fully evolved.

While many think to just keep them out of the snow covered routes, practically every Water type Pokemon can learn Ice moves as well so it is always worth keeping an eye in Water routes to make sure your dragon doesn't get KOed by Ice Beam or Avalanche or whatever.

Leftovers are someplace off-route. I think it's somewhere on route 18 or 19, I jsut recently got them. It's one of those items you have to use Cut to get to.

This is the reason I reject most challenges - I'm leveling up the dudes I like, not want to fight with them YET. I wish Gamefreak thought of that and let us use any of the pokes we have in the PC when a challenge is issued, they got so many things right, and this is the BIGGEST flaw I can find in the game.

If you're playing Y, you can find Electrikes on route 10, though your mileage may vary on whether or not you would classify that as a "decent" electric type. I think you can catch Mareep on Route 12 before you beat the 3rd gym too.

Around that time, when you ride the Rhyhorn, you can catch Helioptiles, too.

There is a feature that lets you set up a special pc box filled with 6 pokemon you can pull out during online battles. I haven't used it, but an NPC mentioned it. If that's your only problem with online battling you really have no reason not to do it.

Well, unless I didn't find it while quickly looking through the book, it doesn't actually say it anywhere. I think it has something to do with stylish points however, because the book mentions that you do get discounts in shops the more stylish you are. Time to get your inner model on I guess.

I do this too :3: Only sometimes I combine types which are few enough in number to not need an entire box's worth of space (fairy/ghost as one) and use the extra boxes for the most numerous instead (water 2, normal 2). I then have one box labeled "breeders" housing a ditto of each nature worth breeding along with any eggs they produce.

Now I have to buy out the Luminose city store, catch more dittos to have one of each good nature, catch everything on past routes with an overleveled false swiper, and get rolling on friend safaris. And that's all before breeding up a viable team.

It begins.
