Well now that you've beaten the Elite Four I went back and checked your Friend Safari again and now it's also spawning Maractus. :3:

Could you check mine again? You posted that I had Swirlix and Deddendee and I'm curious on what the third fairy type in my zone will now be. My 3ds name is just ooooooooo so I should be easy to spot :v:

Edit: vvvv It's easier using a pokemon that learns Sweet Scent (like Combee and Bulbasaur). Combee is the better choice as one of its abilities makes honey in its item slot while walking/battling with it.

Discounted Galettes are 80 Pokeyen Full Heals. If only they didn't sell out and actually let me buy a dozen at a time.

Aw, poo poo, had a 99 combo in Head It in Pokemon-Amie and then I fumbled and blew it. I really don't like the other two minigames in that, though. Especially the tile puzzle.

134 now :toot:

Your Safari now spawns Floettes too. The Fairy Safaris are the most exciting because I keep hoping that I find an old Pokémon that's been retyped, only to be disappointed when it shoves another Gen VI Pokémon into my face.

You can exchange Poké Miles at a much better rate than in-game.

Like, everything is half price or less on the website compared to the guy in-game. And the guy in-game doesn't have heart scales at all.

Not gonna get all conspiracy or "the leakers are all fake!" on you, but I'm not sure why you're expecting Nintendo to be absolutely incompetent. It wouldn't be too hard to manually adjust data that isn't revealed yet to prevent datamining like this, especially with something like an event 'mon. I doubt they'd go through that much effort for mega-evolutions though.

Also, just to clarify, with the previous Global Link it was completely impossible to upload event Pokemon to the Dream World if you hacked them before their introduction and tried tucking them in, because there was no Dream World art available for them. I forget the exact details of it, but I think in Japan you weren't able to use the Dream World until post-game because no Gen 5 Pokemon had art until the English launch of the Dream World, or something like that.

So yeah, there are probably event Pokemon that just don't have art on the Dream World yet is what I'm saying.

Oh, I never heard about that, if that's true, good for Nintendo. I just wouldn't've expected them to have that much foresight :v:

Even if you could catch all the regular pokemon you would need the game legendary ones (Kyogre, Zekrom, Latios, etc) to get the full dex

Also whoever was looking for a Cacturne I found one in the Friend Safari

Not all, but very, very close. The Gen 2-5 starters and legends, and Mew are unavailable. I think there's a small handful of species that can't be obtained in the Friend Safari, too--the Tangela and Sewaddle families, I think I've heard, can't be (or, possibly haven't been yet) found, so there's probably a few others.

I know this probably isn't what you wanted to hear, but Pokémon games rarely drop in price. A couple old game shops around me have used copies of loving Red and Blue that are still $30.

Are there an overabundance of awesome pokemon of the same type as the starters? I mainly wanna know which one NOT to pick. I don't wanna pick the fire one and walk into a Growlithe in the first hour of the game like in B/W, for example.

Also, is there an obvious place for Deoxys to transform that's been discovered? I'm guessing the Anistar sundial will have something to do with it if not.

There's an overabundance of awesome Pokemon period. Just pick whoever you like best, really, there's Grass/Water/Fire types everywhere.

Keep in mind you get a Kanto starter too, though!

It's looking like there will be in the low 600ish range of total Pokebank obtainable in just X/Y before pokebank opens up. There are some odd exclusions though, like Rattata, Cottonee, Koffing, etc.

e: http://pastebin.com/hie2cL5y list of pokes that someone with a completed Kalos dex and a large amount of safari pokemon still doesn't have.

Not really, or at least not for a while. The basic bird turns into a pretty strong Fire/Flying after its first evo but is very different from Fennekin, you can get Skiddo pretty early but I haven't been too impressed with him, and I haven't seen any Water-types outside of Azurill that I can remember. Actually you can get Roselia pretty early but again, different enough from Chespin that I don't think it's an issue.
