I can only assume maybe he'd never used wondertrade, and didn't know how it worked? Like, didn't expect it to just send the pokemon you select out, and then that's it, whatever you get, you get.

Hmm, looks like a special attacker, but with high HP, so it can probably tank a hit or two. Its ability will also help it hit even harder. Not very impressive speed though, so it'll probably be played as a wallbreaker, probably holding a choice item, instead of a late-game sweeper.

I just started playing 2 days ago! I picked up X for myself and Y for Mike. I think we might have to start over though to do some starter swapping since we're not too far in yet. >.>
I have a very hard time with Pokemon games though. I have this thing where I need to level all the Pokemon as I go, while I *should* just pick my favorites and level those. I never make it very far in the Pokemon games because of this problem, but I'm trying to not do that this time around.
Also, some of these evolutions are terrifying... I started with a cute fox and now I have a sassy furry. Also, an adorable bird just turned into a walking penis. It's terrifying and I should have stopped them from evolving.

I'm pretty sure several of us can hook you up with more copies of starters. I have been breeding and trading for more female starters for the last two days.

Speaking of... I have 6 male charmander, a male squirtle, and a male Chespin...

How do you breed Pokemon?! I'm such a Pokemon noob... I don't know the mechanics of this game at all.
Mike wasn't very happy with his game so far so he decided he was okay with restarting to trade starters for the both of us. I *would* love a charmander though since I picked squirtle.

You have to get to the breeding center and stick either a male and female Pokemon in, or a Pokemon and a Ditto. The offspring will be the same species as the mother Pokemon.

To clarify, the breeding center is the daycare center, and it's right square in the middle of the map. You'll run past it as soon as you get past the Snorlax blocking the main road.

You can store up to two pokemon at the daycare center, and the center will level them up over time (though you don't get to choose what moves they learn while they're doing this). If you store two pokemon of opposite genders (or one pokemon and a ditto) -and- if they are in the same egg group (you'll have to look these up) then after awhile they might produce an egg. The species the egg hatches into is always the same as the female pokemon, unless its a ditto, or unless you're breeding pokemon that can only be 1 gender. You can talk to the guy outside the daycare center, and if an egg is produced, he'll give it to you. "Time" passes in the game whenever you take a step, so if you're waiting for your pokemon to do the deed, run around outside (or better, roller blade/bike around to go faster) and then check back in periodically to see if an egg has been produced.

Once you have the egg, you have to hatch it. This also takes time, which is again steps. Just keep it in your party and run around. Different pokemon have different lengths of egg cycles, some will take longer than others. If you have a pokemon with FLAME BODY ability in your party, such as a Fletchling that has been leveled up to lvl16 and evolved, then half the number of steps are needed to hatch the egg.

There's a bit more to it than that, but those are the basics and should get you started. Check out a pokemon breeding guide to find out how to breed pokemon with specific moves they couldn't ordinarily get, how to better get that perfect nature you're hoping to achieve, and so on.

Just a brief note, the ability Magma Armor also works like Flame Body, and halves the number of steps needed to hatch an egg. Having multiple Pokemon in your party with these abilities will not stack, however, so you only need one Poke with one of these abilities.

God I want this game so bad.

Yeah, but fletchling's lvl16 evolved form has flame body, and it's one of the very first pokemon you can catch. That's why I only mentioned it. It's a beginner's guide... I didn't even talk about IV's!

Like in past games, there's an npc that can give you a general idea of IV's, but no, you can't see them directly. You can see a rough graph of EV's though (and even reset them with a little work)
Click to expand...
You can see IVs. One stat's name will be red and one will be blue on the Pokemon's status screen.

That's from the Pokemon's nature, isn't it? Red means the boosted stat, blue means the reduced one. Generation 5 had that feature too.

Side note, the group exp share is ridic. I've been plowing through the plot without having to stop to grind levels at all, even when I switch up some of my party. Though I do appreciate the change because it means I don't have to even out my daughter's levels for her every night when she stops playing anymore. :p

I'm using it to evolve Pokemon I don't use. But yeah, it is ridiculous. I'm glad I have Pokemon Amie and Super Training to slow me down, because I'd hate for the game to be over too soon.

I have a female Charmander I would like to trade for a female Bulbasaur if anyone can hook me up. GTS seems to only want legendaries for one.

You can now catch eevee's in the wild if anyone is in dire want of one, on route 10. If you are looking to get a Sylveon, catch one at level 19 there. It should know baby doll eyes, then as mentioned earlier it's just a matter of maxing all the pokemon aime bars and leveling.

You can restrict legendaries from showing up in trades during your searches by excluding "Special" pokemon in the options of the pokemon menu in the gts.

That's GTS ever since GTS was introduced.

If we could upload Pokemon from previous generations, I'd have one for you (we have babies of all the starters), but since that can't happen until the bank opens in December, we're kind of stuck.

So I managed to get a female Bagon, a female Charmander, and a female Torchic without issue. Bulbasaur is apparently made of gold.

Very, very interesting possibility. Many folks over at Smogon are noticing HP going up during Wi-Fi battles. This has led to speculation that IVs get maxed during those. Evidence might be building for that being true. Game Freak did state they are doing more to discourage hacking this gen. Something like this would certainly do it.
