not_so_tiny Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Updated Pokemons spotted so far... Really... is that a set of keys Pokemon? It's a fairy Pokemon that steals keys according to it's 'dex entry. I like it. I adore Goomy, I must have him!
Guy Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Dilemma! I'm pathetically loyal to Squirtle, the first Pokémon I EVER got, but I also want Froakie because water and also his evolution chain is superior to the other two. Having two water Pokémon in my party seems excessive, but I've always gone with the water starter for every game and don't want to break tradition now. What would you guys do?

Having two water Pokémon in my party seems excessive, but I've always gone with the water starter for every game and don't want to break tradition now. What would you guys do? If I were you I'd continue with the water tradition you have always adopted! 2 bad-ass water Pokemon is no bad thing, and with the dual type of Frokie's final evolution, it wont be all bad. I always have Starmie in my team, but not for its water capabilities - I use a different water type for that, but still use Starmie religiously!
Agent Gibbs Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I tend to favour Ghost type pokemon so i know what its like to have this irrational compulsion to choose a multitude of the same type, go for a squirtle! he was my first pokemon when i got blue, but i've always chosen the water type (much to my regret with that horrible mudkip). when will we ever get a damn non legendary ghost dragon? or when will they fix gengar? it always annoyed me that he was ghost poison and suggested as a weapon against sabrina in gen 1, only to last a second against a psychic attack.... mega gengar is ghost/psyhcic....not sure how to feel about that
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Edge gave the game a 8? :/ http://www.edge-online.com/review/pokemon-xy-review/
Serebii Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Edge gave the game a 8? :/ http://www.edge-online.com/review/pokemon-xy-review/ For a Nintendo game, in a review by EDGE, that's great
Ronnie Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Since when has EDGE had a problem with Nintendo? They gave Skyward Sword a 10, both Galaxies 10......

Debug Mode Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 IGN gave it a 9 MOTHER FUCKERS Also, now that I've read this about ShopTo shipping on Wednesday, considering upping my shipping to guaranteed next day. Does any one recommend this?

Does any one recommend this? I always have the fear of when doing that, they'll hold off on couriers til like Thursday so it still arrives Friday
Debug Mode Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I always have the fear of when doing that, they'll hold off on couriers til like Thursday so it still arrives Friday Exactly what I'm fearing haha EDIT: Yeah, found some customer questions with customer support asking about this for other games, they wont process the order until the day before delivery because they know it will definitely be delivered on the day of launch.

Best stick with first class...still a chance it will arrive Thursday I pre-ordered X at ShopTo and Y at GAME just to hedge my bets.
Debug Mode Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Best stick with first class...still a chance it will arrive Thursday Yup, the latest I'll have to wait is until midnight Japan (4pm Friday).. Or probably later as the servers come crushing down from all the downloads.
khilafah Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 downloading this for sure. need pokemon on my 3DS 24/7.
Serebii Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Yup, the latest I'll have to wait is until midnight Japan (4pm Friday).. Or probably later as the servers come crushing down from all the downloads. Yeah...it's going to be crazy. It is my worst case scenario fear
Ike Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Downloading this as well, so I hope the servers don't crash. Also my extra copy of WWHD did arrive today so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Debug Mode Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 wish I could say this is the only problem I have with the game, but there are two other substantial issues I have that keep this from being a game that stands above previous entries. While recent Pokémon games have had some major content to enjoy throughout, this one has a more limited longevity and replayability. Somewhat negatively, I would compare the amount of content you get in these games to Ruby and Sapphire. My other complaint is that the game carries a greater reliance on repurposing old Pokémon rather than introducing new ones this time around. Game Freak tries to make up for this through cool Mega Evolutions, re-typing old monsters to Fairy, and re-introducing some forgotten classics like Deliberd and Granbull, but it was a bit of a bummer to see the full extent of what the Kalos region actually introduced. Far more importantly, the Pokémon designs introduced this generation are a somewhat noticeable step down in quality from past entries. -Nintendo World Report review This was something some one supposedly with a review copy said last week. I'm kind of concerned, because post game content in Ruby and Sapphire was awful.

I'm kind of concerned, because post game content in Ruby and Sapphire was awful. I've heard the contrary. I've been told it has decent post-game content, you just have to look for it.

I'm kind of concerned, because post game content in Ruby and Sapphire was awful. But really, post-game content? After the Elite 4, Im just catching new 'mon and playing online. Most post-game parts always feel tacked on. That reviewer seems kinda nit-picky. How can the reintroduction of new Pokemon in its first 3D handheld game be a bad thing?
Serebii Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Thing is, with each generation, the first two games typically don't have too much post-game. Look at BW, sure it had a couple of areas, but there was little to do

That reviewer seems kinda nit-picky. How can the reintroduction of new Pokemon in its first 3D handheld game be a bad thing? It's not a bad thing, and the reviewer is far from nit picky in my opinion. But the problem is too few new Pokemon and not a lot of content to do outside of the main game is a major factor of enjoyment that's missing. Thing is, with each generation, the first two games typically don't have too much post-game. Look at BW, sure it had a couple of areas, but there was little to do Admittedly, you're right on this one. Shame B/W2 were so fucking boring.
