Z was the canceled third game, and supposedly they included a few of the planned plotlines in ZA, so I would say so

Huh, after digging around my old 3DS games, it turns out I DO have Pokemon Y! Guess I just never finished it or barely played it if I don't remember it lol. Maybe I'll revisit it after this.

Im planning to replay X/Y pretty soon. This game got me in the mood to revisit Kalos. Maybe itll hit a little different now that weve finally gotten closure on the story and the region.

Woke up to 8 shinies with the turbo controller bench reset method, but again, not the one I was hunting for . I found a bench on a rooftop in Magenta sector 6 that was near 2 Dedenne spawn points, but I woke up to a shiny Abra, Flababe/Floette (both the red flower variant), Scatterbug/Vivillon, another Trubbish, and 2 shiny Fletchling, but no Dedenne. This game doesn't like me.

I might do a replay of X/Y soon too, but again, I need to think of what kind of playthrough I want to do. X/Y are way too easy if you just play normally.

Her Pokemon would destroy that trainer's though. It would destroy Canari and her grandpa.
Her brother is cracked too. Not even needing any Pokemon to bust down locked gates.

We talk about best girl a lot

But who is best boy?

And why is it Corbeau
http://i.imgur.com/vDci4hD.gif
Because there's no other reasonable options. It's Corbeau or Naveen.
The answer is obviously Corbeau, but I think Ivor is a not-so-distant 2nd and shouldn't be ruled out. Yes, Ivor is a big stupid idiot, but he's a big stupid idiot with a heart of gold, and I grew to like him more over the course of the game.
https://i.imgur.com/PmF1p9q.jpg
I fucking hate Ivor.
Can't imagine hating someone so rad and with such a dope theme.

Corbeau is the best though. Dude's so short it's hilarious and his pokeball throw animation is totally compensating for his height.
Ivor is best boi with the best theme.

Geez, Pokemon, if you want cutscenes like this, have voice acting already, this is just silly.

Well I reached Rank A and at Prism Tower. Beat the rival to see who would take Floette and go up the tower and then they were like "I'm taking Floette and going up the tower anyway". Naturally they screwed up when they got there and I gotta bail them out. AGAIN.

Done and dusted

Overall it was...okay. Honestly felt like a first draft in a lot of ways. The battle system was alright, could have used some refinement but I think with some tweaks it could be something special. I don't want it to replace the turn-based battles of the mainline games tho.

As for the story...eh, it was serviceable. I don't expect good stories from Pokemon games but even then it was a little light on anything genuinely interesting. And god was Taunie/Urbain a horrible friend, making us fix their messes for like half of the game lol. The Pokemon Trainers were fun at least.

The final boss was not fun. Just beat these two flowers again and again and again. Pretty lame design.

Overall, I didn't hate it. I'll probably do some post-game stuff and complete the Pokedex. I also wanna try a second save file to have some fun playing the opposite gender with the other rival. I know it's the same, but still, it's the vibes man lol.

Also, I got a Shiny Eevee, too late to really use it, but still nice to have lol

the gameplay was not tested I can tell you that, after several hours of playing the meta is speed cooldowns and physical short range moves because special moves have a wind up time

status effect barely do much and healing moves don't heal fast enough becasue what you do heal, goes away very quickly and long of abilttes that some pokemon needed makes then not worth using
This is my sig. Don't like it, then don't look at it.

All right, I decided on a playthrough: I'm gonna beat Pokemon X with only bugs. Started with Froakie just to use as an HM mule later, caught a Weedle and a Scatterbug on route 2, added a Caterpie in the forest, and I'm off to the races. I'll probably do my 2nd playthrough of Z-A after I finish this.

This because am I the only one that has their poke balls just not register when throwing them at something? I'll be locked on and see it just either go through them or just not do anything

with how easy it is to throw a ball setting the switch or controller down. Ive been paranoid about throwing an apri or master ball on accident for a while now

If they are angry it bounces, if they are out of range it goes through you can lock on and still be slightly out of range, which is just dumb

The pokeball fetch dude is obnoxious. Always popping up with his golden speech bubble wherever I go infantilizing me with his pity of "I noticed you can't do a simple fucking thing, have your balls back"
Honestly, lock-ons not registering seems to be a common problem.

randomly found a shiny pikachu and shiny flabebe and shiny skkiddo last night lol

I was like I heard sound and another sound and another!! And alpha litleo trying to interrupt me -_-

There's more to do after you beat the game (assuming you're saying you made it to the credits).

Yeah I reached the credits and saw there was a new Infinite Z-A Royale thing, but I assumed that was just post-game stuff and the story itself was over.

Flabebe is one of the hardest shinies to actually see any difference on, partly because it's so small.

The lower half of its body that's normally green is purple on the shiny.

It's easier to tell on Floette because there's more green parts that turn purple.

Just have a Pokemon in your boxes hold them until you're hunting the specific Pokemon you want to put in them. That way you don't accidentally throw them at something else.

Nope, that stuff is story-related. You have to do 15 reward matches in the Infinite Z-A Royale to unlock the final main mission.

ahhhh but luckily I walked in and heard it shine then I locked on it and the UI even shows its shiny when you do lol

so i knew it was shiny I just couldnt tell why lol

Ive done 4 reward matches so far. 15 seems like a slog especially since you have to grind out the ticket each time >_>

Yeah, I've only gotten to 6 or so. I'm not sure I'll bother with all the post game stuff to get to 15.

Aw man, I just started my second save file where I play a cute girl this time too. I even got a Shiny Gastly.

Yeah, doing 15 of those seems like a bit much. I guess it's something to do while I complete the Pokedex but I'm honestly not sure I'll bother.

Doing the 15 reward battles is required to complete the Pokedex since the last main mission in the post-game after those 15 reward battles is how you catch Zygarde . Plus, you need to do 1000 total battles to get the shiny charm, so you may as well knock out some of them doing these battles for the post-game story first. If you decide that's not worth it, then okay. I'm just letting you know what you miss out on.

No you don't... I still have to do the 15 matches and I finished the Pokedex awhile ago... The Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde quests are seperate things

Wait, really? The Zygarde quest only showed up for me immediately after I completed the 15th reward battle. How did you get it to show up sooner?

Catch Xerneas and Yveltal and then go back to the hotel. Lysandre challenges you and then after beating him you can battle Zygarde

You only have to beat the first Challenger (Zach) and then going back to Hotel Z causes L to show up and give you the Xerneas and Yveltal quest. After those are done, the Zygarde quest becomes available regardless of Infinite Royale progress

I caught Xerneas and Yveltal really early (after like 2-3 reward battles) but the game never told me to go back to Hotel Z until after I completed the 15th reward battle. That's why I assumed the 15 reward battles was required to unlock that quest. You're telling me I could have gone to the hotel and triggered the Lysandre battle and the Zygarde quest sooner?

It doesnt tell you to return to the hotel. You just go back and the event triggers. Idk if its supposed to be hidden or what

But the game did tell me to return to the hotel... after I won the 15th reward battle. That's why I thought it was part of the requirements to unlock the quest. If I could have done it sooner, why didn't the game tell me sooner? That's so lame.
