The method to get Hidden Abilities has been discovered. When a Pokemon calls for help, any reinforcements have an increasing chance to have their HA as more get summoned. Pokemon have a higher chance of calling for help when their HP is lower. Only 2 Pokemon can be in a battle at a time.

Oh! I wonder if there is a way to both have a Cosmog and the middle evolution, then? Maybe since it only evolves into the cover legendary as part of the plot, Cosmog is breedable?

I didn't even think of that, that means you have to play through twice for a full living pokedex, right?

Or buy both versions which gets you 4 which is 1+1+2 and that's enough.

e:vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
the phrase is "style" - search this thread for like "girlish style" and you'll find the list of the types if not where you get them maybe?

I hear you can customise how you throw your pokeballs and such, but I've no idea how it's done. I could have missed it though, I guess.

That's part of the post game story, but You get special pokeballs to catch them and have to catch them for the story to continue.

On island 3 there's a guy that will let you change styles. Most require doing something to unlock though.

On the third island, go north from the city (ignoring what the Plot wants you to do by that point), and you'll find a waste treatment plant. At the parking lot of the plant there is a tanned old man wearing a red shirt. Talk to him and agree to become his apprentice. He'll teach you the elegant style and the left-handed style. Talk to him again and he'll let you switch styles back and forth. He has a list of other styles you can get, but each require some sort of vague unlock conditions. He'll tell you what they are but they usually amount to "Hang out with cool people!" or "Spend time around women!" I sort of assume this means you need to battle a certain amount of trainers that use that style themselves, but can't really confirm yet.

It's probably false, but I heard a rumor that you can change your Pokemon's ball after capture. Is there any truth to that?

The animation looks so good now. I loved the show right through to the end of XY but this is a huge leap forward. Where the show used to be rigid and awkward as hell, movement now looks so much more expressive, smooth and high energy.

Rats. Speaking of which, what's the availability of the various pokeballs? The Bank and Global Link have enabled me to have my party in Gen 6 games to all have different pokeballs, and the small OCD part of me doesn't want to have repeat balls (har har).

After most trials you're given a pack of 10 of a new ball relevant to that trial. You can always buy pokeballs, great balls, etc, and buying 10 at a time gets you a premier ball again. Other ball types can be found at specific pokecenters as far as I can tell, and you can get a ball shop to move in to your festival plaza that can sell various types of balls. My only complaint in this regard is that certain balls seem (at the point I'm at) to be in very short supply. Whenever you get an apricorn ball, you're given a single one of them, for example.

Among the many things I love in that preview, there's Lillie having a smear frame, and during that she touches Mallow's arm so for a second she has huge popped eyes. I didn't catch on to it the first time, all I could see was Lillie moving fast and something surprising happening real quick that made my eyes stay at Mallow's side of the screen. This is gonna be the prettiest long-run anime. :allears:


To the people playing it: how's the game difficulty? are S.O.S. Battles interesting enough? or do the final trials feel "less" than a gym with 3 pokemon like the last two gens?

So, for those who've already got the game, how soon after choosing your starter can you check the nature? I read something on the Smogon forum saying it's a pain this time around, but is it worse than X/Y?
