I was thinking on the bus today, and for now, there's no real reason for me to keep a piece of my non-breeding collection on Y. Kalos and ORAS pokes aren't marked differently (both have the pentagon), so I'll probably merge everything to AS tonight or tomorrow. That'll make DexNav stuff a bit less tedious, and prioritize my run through the game.
So far I've earned 5 badges. I thought the sequence between gyms 4 and 5, and back to Mauville was kind of rushed and haphazard. I know GF probably inserted it to cut down on grinding, but in my opinion the execution is lacking.
Other than the Alakazite that PlatinumDude shared with us some days ago, I haven't found any stray Mega Stones lying around. I'll probably revisit that search after I'm done playing through.
Soft resetting for an ideal-natured Latias was just irritating. I hope GF doesn't continue this trend (Yveltal and Xerneas were similar, iirc) where we have to sit through 5 minutes of dialogue to catch a legendary and check its stats. I wanted to punch Steven in his pretty boy face by the time I managed to get a Modest Latias. His waxing poetic discourse about its sublime beauty was just cheesy and pretentious. I know he's supposed to be my friend in this game, but I'm looking forward to kicking his teeth in ruthlessly at the Pokemon League.
Maybe I'm just salty because I'm used to the old model of waltzing up to my prospective poke, chatting it up, catching it and moving on with my life, sans 5 more minutes of idle chit chat.
Current Rotation:
Jolteon, Timid, Lv 32
Metagross, Shiny, Adamant, Lv. 34
Marshtomp, crappy nature, Lv. 35
Pinsir, crappy nature, Lv. 27
Gardevoir, Modest, Lv. 30
Gallade, Bold (will be replacing with a Jolly one on Y), Lv. 29
Growlithe, Impish, Lv. 28
Nidorino, crappy nature, Lv. 27
Shroomish, Jolly, Lv. 32
Latias, Modest, Lv. 30
I think the fact that I've been able to maintain a rotation this big on par with my in-game opponents' levels is a testament to the argument that Exp. Share overlevels a team. Nonetheless, I'm enjoying myself.
/longchat. Took me a long time to find this thread.
