[Handheld] Pokemon X/Y and Alpha Centari with Beta Ray Bill
- Thread starter Ravenpoe
- Start date
Possibly. And I have a competitive team too, so I feel you, but I'm glad they aren't releasing the transfer app until December so that people who want to play now can't just smash through the game with already-trained Pokemon.

I am seriously hoping that the random number generator can't be cracked this gen. RNG abuse is how competitive battling become so inaccessible to casual players. Now that it's easy to track EVs, and we know how natures affect stats, anyone can put a competitive team together. It would be nice to keep it that way. Plus, Smogon and Seribbi are noticing a stat creep in the new gen, so that could equalize things once the flood of power-trained Pokemon comes in December.
I know Smogon hasn't cracked the RNG yet, and the 3DS AR device simply doesn't work. I'm just hoping Nintendo has truly shut that down. I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.

I'd help, but my Torchic's male.
I'm going to give you a melonballer, and you're going to get in there and fix that.
I thought only traded Pokemon wouldn't obey beyond your range.
The levels seemed skewed towards being kind of high in this one thanks to the new Exp Share. My guys are around 20 and I'm not at the second gym yet. Not sure if that's good or bad--this is the first Pokemon game where I haven't had some kind of guide in the house since the one my wife ordered won't get here until the 22nd.
We did the starter swap, so I'm technically on my 5th game. My original Quilladon (Chespin), Wartortle and Charmeleon stopped obeying me after thirty, as a result of the 2nd gym being kind of a long time after the first, EXP Share, and traded Pokemon experience boost.
Well in that case, you only have yourself to blame
.Pokemon is still akin to printing money for Nintendo. I'm sure they saw a nice boost in 3DS (and now 2DS) sales because there are a lot of people who only buy Nintendo handhelds for Pokemon.
I'm pretty sure the Torchic being distributed is exactly the same for everyone, so someone's will have to breed with a Ditto before you can get a female.
Nope, it's still getting rolled with random natures and IV's (or at least natures, not sure about IV's) and there have been posts on other boards of people who have rerolled (by soft-resetting after recieving the gift) until they got a female. But I didn't.[DOUBLEPOST=1381721290,1381721236][/DOUBLEPOST]Although, if males can pass on abilities now, then hoping for a female isn't as important.

First, this game-breaking save glitch.
http://venturebeat.com/2013/10/14/some-pokemon-x-and-y-players-reporting-game-breaking-save-glitch/
Also, is anyone else getting an occasional black screen lock when you close the 3DS and open it back up? I experienced it in the early game a few times, but I've noticed that if you're just standing in place, it won't happen.
On the bright side, I managed to get my modest Fennekin. Best nature for that one. SR'ed a couple times. Interestingly, the starters can be female this gen.

Yep, just relatively rare (1/8 chance, IIRC).
And I won't be getting my hands on this until December at the earliest. *shakes fist*
And you know what, this might sound elitist, but I'm actually kinda sad they made power-training more accessible. Going into the nitty gritty of the natures and IVs and EVs in the previous generations, and finally breeding and training a competitively viable pokemon, gave a tremendous sense of accomplishment. I still have very fond memories of my Emerald team, and how it could basically kick the crap out of anyone I link battled with.
The old methods of EV training still work, and are actually faster than the super training minigames. Super Training just made it much more accessible to the everyday gamer. Plus, the ability to unlock a special punching bag to wipe out EV's is much more forgiving if you screw up.
I got a level 1 speed boost torchic in a wonder trade, so female ones have to exist, because -someone- is breeding them. I also got a fennekin in a wonder trade, which also looked like a breeding reject. I'll still take it!
In other news: HOW FUCKING LONG DOES IT TAKE AN EGG TO HATCH THIS GENERATION! I'm up to my ass in bagon eggs, and I can't get a single one to hatch. I don't remember it taking nearly this many steps.
Guess I'm going to have to level up a fletchling.
Where were you, and what were you doing, when you encountered this? I haven't noticed any freezing or unresponsiveness.
At first misread this as bacon eggs and thought "Why is he trying so hard to breed Spoink?"
Thank god, I thought I was the only one that read it as bacon eggs.
I've had none of these issues and I've been opening and shutting a ton. The only annoyance I've had is that when I close and open, it disconnects me from the internet--which makes sense, since the system is in hold mode.
Yes, read it wrong again.I'll trade you a bagon egg for one
Not saying problems don't exist as the Lumiose Town Bug seems pretty well documented but I've also not experienced a single instance of freezing or the like.
I was pretty happy with the Bulbasaur I got but that is a nice catch, for you anyway, Abra guy not so much. Been doing my part to release any fodder and pump back in some decent things.
