I've now got the second badge and I'm up to the Reflective Cave or whatever it's called. I did a lot of grinding because I seemed a bit underlevelled first though.

Team -
Braixen Lv.31
Ivysaur Lv.31
Pidgeotto Lv.30
Amaura Lv.29
Vivillon Lv.28
Raichu Lv.28 (Yay for thunderstones)

I'm now on five badges after 12 hours and we've had a change to the roster since my last update. Also Amaura's evolution is just as cute as Amaura, but soo much stronger. I'm really loving Kalos as a region now.

Team -

Venusaur Lv. 44
Delphox Lv. 43
Lucario Lv. 41
Pidgeot Lv. 41
Auroros Lv. 41
Raichu Lv. 40

Venitardus October 13th, 2013 3:22 PM

Since my last update, I have made it to the snorlax. I have been debating who should be on my team, so I've been switching some pokes in and out.
My team right now is:

Fletchinder lvl 18
Frogadier lvl 18
Charmeleon lvl 19
Combusken lvl 19
Skiddo lvl 17
Espurr lvl 12

mikey October 13th, 2013 4:02 PM

Since last time, I have accomplished quite a lot. I picked up the Sail Fossil, and got Amaura! Was going to get Tyrunt, but decided Amaura because its part Ice and could be handy in the future. I also defeated the second gym, which took forever to get to btw. It was a pretty easy fight. I loved the puzzle for it though. After that, I explored and encountered Team Flare finally. I think they're pretty cool.

The team so far:

Frogadier - Level 30
Fletchinder - Level 30
Snorlax - Level 28
Pikachu - Level 27
Floette - Level 27
Eevee - Level 25 (Just caught this little guy! Thinking of either getting Umbreon or Sylveon)

And I have a ton boxed. Been catching everything I see! Haha

Keik October 13th, 2013 4:16 PM

Currently at route 5 with my

Pansage Lv.12
Pikachu Lv.13
Braixen Lv.16
Farfetch'd Lv.14 (In-game trade)
Squirtle Lv.10

BakingBluePotatoe October 13th, 2013 4:40 PM

doing a variant on a Nuzlocke, to add some challenge, but tweaking it a bit: (Click HERE to see my self-imposed and complicated rules)
(Yeah, I'm a softie, hence why it's "softcore")

Well... sad news. I lost the challenge at the first gym. Like a newbie.

That being said, I'm just going to play normally, and perhaps try playing by those rules when I get Pokemon X, after I have more experience in Kalos.

Will update this post later.

hughes October 13th, 2013 4:54 PM

Some quick updates. I'm surprised how long this is taking. O_o

I got the Cliff Badge a little while ago and am leaving Geosenge Town for Route 11. I also caught a Venipede (now Scolipede), Medidite, Luvdisc (which was traded for a Steelix), and an Eevee. I'm still trying to get the hang of Pokemon Amie, but I somehow lost my stylus which is making the games harder.

Current team:
Lila the (female) Braixen, Lv 33
Fiona the (female) Lucario, Lv 32
Roshi the (male) Wartortle, Lv 32
Jack the (male) Scolipede, Lv 30

Tsutarja October 13th, 2013 5:23 PM

Here's another major update y'all! I took on Lysandre at his little lab in Lumiose City and defeated him.. then I experienced the activation of the ultimate weapon. Upon doing so, I flew to Geosenge town to stop Lysandre. Battled him one more time and his goons to finally catch Yveltal. Captured Yveltal with my master ball, and then took on Lysandre for the final time to wipe him and Team Flare out.

Team Update:

Delphox ♀ - Lv. 63
Venusaur ♂ - Lv. 53
Yveltal - Lv. 50
Lucario ♂ - Lv. 52
Blaziken ♂ - Lv. 58
Diggersby ♂ - Lv. 47

MarioManH October 13th, 2013 5:29 PM

My Team so far:
Greninja level 70
Absol level 62
Charizard level 64
Pidgeot level 63
Lucario level 64
---Insert any HM Slave here---

Did anyone else think that the Champion's Gardevoir was very annoying and hard to deal with?

I.T. October 13th, 2013 6:31 PM

Just in... my ass gets owned by a level 25 Rhydon. He kept using Stop and my Pokémon wouldn't stop flinching. I have a new found hatred for Rhydon now >:)

Dillon_68 October 13th, 2013 6:49 PM

STILL on my way to the 2nd gym. I have 4 party members now:

Quilladin - "Almonde"
Marill - "Delta"
Gulpin - "Souflee"
Espurr - "Blanca"

Gulpin October 13th, 2013 6:54 PM

I did not play as much today, and I stopped at the beginning of the icy cave (I don't remember it's name). I managed to catch my Clauncher and level it up as I defeated Team Flare in the Power Plant. I then proceeded to defeat Clemont, and traveled to the Fairy town and defeat that gym as well. Eventually I made it to the cave I mentioned earlier. My team is now complete, not to mention way over leveled!

Chesnaught lv50
Charizard lv50
Florges lv50
Malamar lv50
Aurorus lv50
Clawitzer lv50

Venitardus October 13th, 2013 6:59 PM

I just faced team flare for the first time, got the jaw fossil and am now training some more.

Right now my pokes are:
Frogadier lvl 23
Combusken lvl 23
Charmeleon lvl 22
Tyrunt lvl 20

Tyler666hayes October 13th, 2013 7:01 PM

Blazikin: lvl 85
Mewtwo: lvl 71
Yveltal: Lvl 66
Charizard: Lvl 66
Zygarde: lvl 70
Lucario: lvl 70

BeefTaco October 13th, 2013 7:33 PM

Well I've only played this game for like 3 hours but here's where Im at.

I've gotten only one gym badge, the fight was kinda difficult because I only had a level 10 Pansear and a level 9 Froakie. Viola got a few critical hits which was annoying and Surskit's Water Spout made it difficult for Pansear. Still I manage to win at the end and continued my journey.

After my fight with Viola, I placed Pansear on the PC because I had no further used for it and headed to Sycamore's lab. During the battle with Sycamore my Froakie reached lv 16 and evolved into a Frogadier. The starter pokemon I picked was Bulbasaur because I don't really like MegaCharizard X and I wasn't gonna pick another water starter.

Fastfoward to where I am now, I am in the Pokemon Mansion with a level 21 Frogadier and a lv 17 Ivysaur.

iRyahn October 13th, 2013 7:44 PM

Just found a Modest Zoroark (-atk +spatk.)
I am absolutely stoked. Zoroark is rare as hell, or at least I assume so since it took me like almost an hour just to find one. I tried training it in Super Training but got bored pretty quickly. Either way I will pamper him! I chose to take Garchomp out of my team so Zoro can get some EXP from the 8th gym and hopefully ready for E4.

whered u find it like near what town or what route?

RYOUKI October 13th, 2013 11:35 PM

I'm procrastinating fighting the last Gym and just wonder trading everything.

My Pokemon are Honedge, Gardevoir, Dragalge, Blaziken, Chesnaught and Golurk. All lvl 60 (more or less)

I'm too overleveled to catch Pokemon though ;_;

Astinus October 14th, 2013 12:42 AM

Ugh. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I don't want to.

I spent all day playing today. My favorite place that I traveled to was Reflection Cave, which was so interesting with the mirrors and the dive-bombing Woobats. I would have caught a Woobat, but my Dedenne was too strong.

Is too strong. My Pokemon are getting rather overleveled. At least I'm not focusing on catching a lot of Pokemon now!

At least with such strong Pokemon, the Gym battles are easy. Ender the Charizard and Andy the Dedenne took on the Shalour City Gym together, and they swept Korrina's team. Also received her Lucario and the ability to Mega evolve. But since Ender is going to be my Mega Evolving Pokemon, Lucario was boxed and is probably sad that he couldn't join the amazing team I have going.

Speaking of my team, they are:
Andy the Dedenne - level 34
Angel the Tyrunt - level 37 (I play too much at night to evolve him)
Rittz the Greninja - level 38
Ender the Charizard - level 39
Lobo Fuerte the Hawlucha - level 27 (HM user and another nickname reference that no one will get)

Virtual Headache October 14th, 2013 1:55 AM

I didn't do that much other than catching a few Pokémon and still only have one badge. I also explored the cave that comes after you ride Rhydon. It looks very pretty *_*
Next I'll have to battle the team Flare guys. I already beat two of them. I also tried to get some highscores on the Pokémon Amie games.

Whallan October 14th, 2013 2:17 AM

So I've beaten the pokemon league and I was walking around looking for pokemon to breed and
Spoiler:
A WILD ARTICUNO APPEARED

bobandbill October 14th, 2013 3:29 AM

Rediscovered my love/interest for growing berries, haha. I always enjoyed that in RSE.

Still somewhere between the 1st and 2nd badge. Atm on my way to look for a fossil. Looking for Tyrunt's one. =) I am quite enjoying this game overall. Figured out Amie with friends last night, did a bunch of random and GTS trades, and basically just trying to catch everything I see and use new stuff. Exp share is pretty good for that in this game. Pity I have not had too much spare time of late, I'd be playing a lot more if I did, haha.

Sabrewulf238 October 14th, 2013 3:40 AM

Wandering around Coumarine city now, it's a really nice city. Korrina didn't pose much trouble. Ducklett sorted her out.

Braixen lv 34
Ducklett lv 34
Malamar lv 34
Mawile lv 28

Looking out for mawilite now. Also considering Golurk, Dragalge and Gourgeist for my last two team members. The latter two might be over levelled when I catch them....so I may breed them.

hughes October 14th, 2013 6:20 AM

Just got the Plant Badge. The battle with Ramos was shockingly easy (as have all the gym battles thus far). I should mention my love of Mega Evolutions because I use it pretty much all the time with Fiona, and once with Roshi. Now I'm gonna catch a flying Pokemon and head out to find a Skrelp! :D

Now 16 hours into game play with the team:
Jack, male Scolipede, Lv 42
Fiona, female Lucario, Lv 42
Roshi, male Blastoise, Lv 42
Lila, female Delphox, Lv 43

My team;
- Delphox lvl 36 (max friendship in Amie <3)
- Venusaur lvl 35
- Meowstic lvl 33
- Snorlax lvl 30
- Shelgon lvl 30
- Amaura - lvl 25

Reserves

- Eevee - lvl 20 (I don't know how to evolve it to Sylveon D: )

Damn just reach 40 hours in my game, I really need to sleep -_-" Anyways a lot has happened, I'm going to get my 6th badge after I take a nap xD
My team;
http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/655.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/003.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/678-f.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/373.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/131.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/706.png

My Delphox is lvl 56, Venusaur, Meowstic and Lapras are lvl 54 and Salamence and Goodra are lvl 55. To tell you the truth, I gained like 10 levels running around the place where the power plant is trying to find the pass. I spent like 3 hours trying to find it just to figure out it was near the bridge where the Team Flare member was... Goodra I evolve her at route 14 when it was raining since I had 1 rare candy saved up. The whole power plant thing reminded me of how I was overlevel in R/B because of Rock Tunnel and getting lost in there for almost hours LOL. I got Goomy off a wonder trade, I had a absol and wanted to try out wonder trade, then boom, got traded for Goomy <3

Reserve;
http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/025.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/699.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/700.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/018.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/094.png

Pikachu, Aurorus and Pidgeot are all level 50. Slyveon is level 60, she leveled up fast because I got her off a trade from GTS and with trade exp + max pokemon amie, she racks exp so fast. She's a monster as well, Moon blast and her typing + the sp.def makes her tanky. Gengar is lvl 58, I caught a Haunter in route 14 and wanted a Gengar 'cause some chick gave me the gengarite in the town (where the fairy gym is) and I put Haunter in GTS and check on it later and it got traded for a lvl 58 Haunter <3.

My goal after my nap is to get the 6th badge, catch me a Skrelp, grind it to lvl 48 to evolve it Dragalge for the last spot for my reserve. Also gonna work on getting the 4th star on Amie on everyone. Everyone of my pokemon except Delphox, Meowstic and Slyveon (all max) has 3 stars.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire October 14th, 2013 8:14 AM

I got the Climbing badge yesterday, and last night (today's side of night) I got my third badge. Also got my Lucario from Korrina :3
Also caught a Chatot, and several other Pokémon, about to get my gift Lapras after I evolve my Budew.

undeelad October 14th, 2013 9:36 AM

I'm at Snowbelle City. The city with two Abomasnow. For what reason? The city is ocvered with snow that makes no sense? Actually, the town and their respective gyms make no sense. You would expect a Water-type gym at Cambridge(?) City, but got a Rock-type instead.

Tsutarja October 14th, 2013 11:23 AM

Since my last update, I decided to take a little sidequest along Route 10 to capture an Eevee. My motive in doing so was an attempt to get it to evolve into Sylveon, which was a success ♥ After about an hour or so on the Pokémon Amie, I went onto defeat the eighth gym leader and now I have all eight gym badges :D

Team summary:

Delphox ♀ - Lv. 70
Venusaur ♂ - Lv. 58
Yveltal - Lv. 55
Lucario ♂ - Lv. 57
Diggersby ♂ - Lv. 53
Blaziken ♂ - Lv. 63

classiccartoonsftw October 14th, 2013 11:52 AM

I've just reached the Reflection Cave. My Espurr has evolved into a Meowstic, but the rest of my team is still Frogadier, Fletchinder, Ivysaur, Pikachu, and Pancham.

I also have a Tyrunt in my PC. I may use it in the future, but I don't know if I will.

I.T. October 14th, 2013 12:22 PM

- My Pancham finally evolved into Pangoro ♥
- Zubat became the final member of my team
- Wartortle had sex with Ditto & I hatched Squirtle eggs
- The old witch at that one town still won't let me inside her shop >:(

Red Viper October 14th, 2013 12:27 PM

Pokémon X

I have beaten the eight gym, just as easy as the previous gyms and went through Victory Road to the Pokémon League. I now have four Pokémon in my team and I really want one other member before I go on, but I don't know which Pokémon. I now have an egg of my Pangoro and Japanese Ditto (does this still increase the chances of getting a shiny?) and am first going to hatch it, before going on.

Team so far:

Pangoro, Lv.69
Blastoise, Lv.64
Chesnaught, Lv.62
Meowstic, Lv.57

Just challenge and 6th gym and did a few grinding and came to a realization that I want to be Claire, Dragon Master Shenanigans. Anyways my team got a make over, Pikachu and Pidgeot has left the reserve list and was replace by Dragalge and Noivern, and Mawile enters as my 6th and final reserve.

Main Team;
http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/655.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/003.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/678-f.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/373.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/131.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/706.png

My main team stayed the same. Delphox now at lvl 61, Venusaur, Lapras, Meowstic at lvl 58 and Goodra and Salamence at lvl 59. I usually play around the 2nd-5th spot depending on my mood and team that I want but usually this is the team I carry 'cause they look so cute, especially Meowstic <3

http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/303.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/094.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/699.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/700.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/691.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/715.png

I was looking at my team and reserve after I woke up and realize that I had too many pokemon that's not a Kalos pokemon. It was tough but I said goodbye to Pikachu and Pidgeot, to make room for Kalos native Dragalge and Noivern. Mawile I just picked because I can't resist it's cuteness. I'm leaning towards replacing Gengar for another Kalos pokemon to make it 7 Kalos pokemon and 5 non-kalos pokemon. Mawile is lvl 57, Aurorus and Gengar are lvl 58, Dragalge and Noivern are at level 56.

Currently walking around route 16 and the Lost Hotel looking for new 'Mon to join me.

Any suggestion to which Kalos Pokemon I should replace Gengar with? I'm thinking of
http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/675.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/697.png

I would get tyrunt, if I knew how to get the other fossil D:

I.T. October 14th, 2013 1:13 PM

JSHSKAFKDMS?!!? So I was at the Battle Chateau and I challenged this the dude to a battle, a few seconds later I realized it was the Rock Gym Leader (forgot his name) and he sends out his level 40 Aurorus against my level 12 Honedge. I was screwed but luckily I had my level 32 Pangoro and he killed that ho with her 20 inch neck, but then he sent out his Tyrantrum and he annihilated my team. I'll get that ****er back. :(

Sir Codin October 14th, 2013 1:31 PM

Just beat the 8th Gym and now I'm chillin on victory road.

My team:

Delphox Lv 63
Lucario Lv 64
Charizard Lv 64
Vaporeon Lv 56
Yveltal Lv 57
Aurorus Lv 62

SnowpointQuincy October 14th, 2013 1:43 PM

Helioptile was difficult to train but was super cute. His evolution took me by suprise, I almost gave up on him. BUT he does learn Surf... And in his evolved form Parobolic is strong enough to keep him alive. AND he is tied for fastest mon on my team...

FINALLY CAUGHT CLAUNCHER WITH PREMIERE BALL! I love that lil' Guy

INKAY WITH EVIOLITE is probably bulkier than his evolution AND FoulPlay used the Enemy stats for damage... So I'm NOT EVOLVING him until LATER.

BeefTaco October 14th, 2013 3:54 PM

My cousins visited me today and we had a few battles, I kept sleeping their pokemon with Ivysaur :P (who cares about Sleep Clause). He did beat me the first match, he sweeped my 5 remaining pokemon with Frogadier lol. Second match I switched Spritze and Vivillon with Snorlax and Croagunk, I won that last one.

I might actually keep the Croagunk since there's no Hitmonlee in Pokemon X. I used the Event Torchic for a while but Im think of taking it out of my team. I'm the Rock Gym town now and I think Im going to pick up my fossil, Tyrunt here I come.

With this my current team should be

Frogadier
Ivysaur
Croagunk
Tyrunt

The last 2 spots are for Goomy and Clauncher. I should really consider a Flying type hmmm.

While searching for an Eevee [to evolve into Sylveon] on Route 10, I'm currently training my recently caught Helioptile and he's probably the weakest link on my team right now, but I'm glad to hear he gets better after evolving. Had no idea he learns Surf, that's good to know!

I'm also letting my Tyrunt get in some experience with the Exp. Share.

Most of my Pokémon are currently Level 27 or 28 (reserved included) with the exception of Helioptile (LV. 19) and Tyrunt (LV. 21). I have to admit, opting to use only the new Pokémon this play-through, the new Pokémon have really impressed me thus far. I mentioned that my Helioptile is my weakest link, but he still puts up a good fight. I like that each one of them can hold their own in battle.

iRyahn October 14th, 2013 4:43 PM

A lot has happened since my last update.
I beat the Pokemon E4 and Champion, and since then have been catching as many Pokemon as possible as well as training them. I found myself temporarily ditching most of my team I used up to the Champion and am now focusing more towards a wifi-battle oriented team. This time I am actually focusing on Pokemon with good Natures, or Pokemon that I like that I didn't get to use xD

ALSO I GOT MY FIRST LEVEL 100 EVER! Met him at level 38 and now he is all grown up lol. I am so excited. The highest I had before this was a level 88 Roserade in Diamond. Usually I don't have the patience to grind haha. Sadly his name sucks because I had to trade my Haunter for someone else's Haunter so we could get Gengar.
http://i760.photobucket.com/albums/xx242/iRyahn9024/8FF4C49D-C51F-4850-81A6-F824D07F196C-5232-000005AA74678713_zps858ef086.jpg

My current team:
Gengar Lv100
Mienshao (TopPercent) Lv82
Dragalge (Beast) Lv80
Greninja (Hopper) Lv90
Azumarill (Dragonslayer) Lv89
Salamence Lv61

Notable mentions in PC that I used/will use:
Garchomp Lv65
Zoroark Lv71
Delphox (KinnieKins [it came with the nickname, I like it! haha]) Lv37
Tyranitar Lv56
Bunnelby (Diggity) Lv51
Farfetch'd Lv44

Also am working up on leveling Houndoom, Bulbasaur, Charizard, Gardevoir, Donphan, Banette, and Jigglypuff. Not sure how much use they'll get but we'll see!

hughes October 14th, 2013 4:58 PM

Made some progress from last time. I got my 6th badge, and my goal is to get all 8 by the end of the night. Currently on Route 15.

The team:
Varrick, (male) Dragalge, Lv 51
Fiona, (female) Lucario, Lv 52
Lila, (female) Delphox, Lv 52
Roshi, (male) Blastoise, Lv 52
Jack, (male) Scolipede, Lv 52

I think my last addition will be Noivern, but I want something with better type coverage. Not sure what yet.

Hatsuharu October 14th, 2013 5:03 PM

I managed to get lost, and I'm not sure where to go after the city near Glimmering Cave? If anyone knows where to go on the path to the second gym, that'd be much appreciated information.

Not too much happened, evolved a few more of my Pokemon and found a Leaf Stone which I'm not sure what to do with at the moment. Eh, I'll just hold onto it until I can find an actual purpose for it, I guess.

Also, I got an Absol in a Wonder Trade! So thank you to whoever it was that did that. c':

PlatinumDude October 14th, 2013 5:37 PM

Hi.im on route 4 ,have the 1st gym badge ,13 hrs of gameplay behind me .currently heading toward Lumiose city.
I play mostly after midnight ,just to busy all day , but loving this game Pokemon X
I see alot of you are almost on Victory Rd. Is this game short and easy ? or are you putting in mega time with it.

Journey October 14th, 2013 9:26 PM

Having recently become the undisputed champion on the region. I decided it was time to kick back, and do some exploring. A short skip and fly and I found myself wandering the hallowed forest of Route 20 right outside a small shanty village of wayward pokemon. I was in search of a certain ghost monster that fit the profile of a mega evolution stone I had recently come across. Taking a short stride through a small opening of tress I ambled carelessly up a staircase to a rather secluded area. The moonlight shown through the trees giving a soft illumination to the balcony of green and brown. Then it happened, and it was likely one of the strangest things I had come across in my journey through the lands yet.

A howling swarm of Trevenant crawled quickly towards me, and surrounded me with deadly intent. My gaze cast from left to right in a subtle panic as I threw the pokeball containing the small savior that would act as both shield and sword in this fight. Yet something was in this swarm that didn't belong. There was something here that didn't look like the others as much as it tried. I locked eyes with it.. It locked eyes with me for a single moment all the while standing as a stone like sentinel among the other creatures that didn't even seem to notice it wasn't one of them. It looked away, pretending that I didn't see it, and it didn't see me. After a short battle that lit the sky ablaze with lightning and intent all that remained was the out of place pokemon. Still pretending I wasn't there, and honestly grinding on my nerves. Within the swarm of ghostly trees was a single Sudowoodo. Despite all it's attempts to ignore me and fit into the environment as a piece of flora. It soon found a one way trip to the pokemon center, and a new addition to my Pokedex..


A Sudowoodo pretending to be a Trevenant, well played Gamefreak, well played..

wulves October 14th, 2013 10:09 PM

{:3} Nicely written my friend ,I could picture it all , thanks for sharing that!

Red Viper October 15th, 2013 1:37 AM

Got a Quiet female Espurr out of an egg. Started to Super Train it's Special Attack and am almost there. I'm still thinking if I am going to train Defense (because many Dark Attacks are physical) or HP (because Meowstic's HP isn't very high)

Zorogami October 15th, 2013 1:51 AM

Well, a lot has happened since my last Update!
I now have the 4th badge, and my team has become a BEAST!!

Also, the Berry Planting is great and the Battle Chateau a lot of fun!

Playtime: around 25hrs
Badges: 4

Team:
Toxicroac LV 38
Charizard (X) Lv 38
Doublade Lv 38
Greninja Lv 38
Aurorus Lv 38

Cameo October 15th, 2013 2:45 AM

I am actually playing the game for the second time already. I finished the first run last Sunday night and decided to start over.

My first run took about 30-35 hours of time mainly, because I got stuck and didn't find a way to Cyllage City (I'm not sure was it spelled like that but anyhow) and decided to power level my team.

At the first run against my every logic I decided to start with Froakie and go with a female character because I wanted to know were they worth my time. Have to admit that I was surprised how good Froakie turned out to be, especially after it evolved into Greninja but I was a bit disappointed when I found out that it won't learn any Dark-type moves. And instead it learned Extrasensory which bit threw me of, though it helped to beat most Fighting-type pokémon in battles. And compared to male character it seems a bit stupid that girl character has more clothing options. I really hope there's the same styled hat for a boy character that Lucas wears in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum games. The hat that is a bit like grandpa style or something, I don't know what it's called actually...

Mostly my team consisted of pokémon that were native to Kalos region such as Greninja, Florges, Pyroar (tried to find a male Litleo for like two hours but didn't have any luck so I went with a female), Aurorus and also Flygon (just had to see how it looks like in 3D). My sixth pokémon was Bibarel which I mainly used as a sacrifice in battles and as an HM slave.

The hardest Gym in Kalos was definitely Clemont's although to be honest they all felt pretty too easy even. Maybe I've gone soft or something but it's just that earlier games were really hard. Even the previous generation had Gym Leaders that needed some tactis but these were just too easy for me. And not to forget Elite Four which was a bit disappointment too. The only one I had troubles with was Siebold and his Gyarados as I didn't have an Electric- or Grass-type pokémon on my team so I had to Surf and Petal Dance that bastard down. And though Diantha is pretty she's no way near the level of Cynthia. It took less than three minutes to get her on knees and begging for mercy.

Anyhow, I restarted the game pretty much after beating the Elite Four and decided to go with my original plan and chose Fennekin as my starter. I also chose the male character and at the moment my team consists of Braixen (lvl.30), Wartortle (lvl.30), Kirlia(lvl.26) and Bagon(lvl.17/freshly caught). I was thinking that I'd ditch the fossil pokémon and take Abomasnow and Ampharos/Lucario on my team. At the moment I'm at the second Gym but cannot play now as I'm at school.

X-Calem October 15th, 2013 2:51 AM

Bought X on its launch here in SG, completed the story yesterday noon. Awesome game, also caught Zygarde and Mewtwo yesterday, and Zapdos today. :D

Sabrewulf238 October 15th, 2013 3:39 AM

At Lumiose City gym right now.

Delphox lv 42
Malamar lv 39
Swanna lv 40
Mawile lv 40
Skrelp lv 30

Trying to help Skrelp catch up with the others right now. I hatched one yesterday and it has a modest nature.

Either Trevenant or Gourgeist will be my final team member. The last time I wanted to use a grass type on my team this much was Roserade in Diamond, so I won't let this slip by.

dlanijer October 15th, 2013 4:46 AM

I'm already blogging my adventures, but a quick status update here wouldn't hurt, right? (in case I don't want a full on blog post)

Anyways, only a little past the second gym, on the way to the third. Kinda slow, I keep wanting to catch more monsters. My in-game team as of right now:

Tyrunt @ 27
Braixen @ 27
Lucario @ 31
Pikachu @ 30
Honedge @ 30
Bibarel @ SLAVE (16)

Last couple of catches: Mr. Mime, Woobuffet, Sableye, Solosis, tons of Nido family members.
Last major event: Uhm.. I reached Shalour City? Meh..

Colress Machine October 15th, 2013 4:52 AM

Totally excited that my Bagon is a part of my team. I got lucky and found him right away (literally my first encounter in the coastal dex). I named him Barrowman and he will be the best! I've been wanting to use a Bagon forever!!!!!!!! I also revived my Amaura and I'm in love. I named him Pandora! I love petting him in Pokémon Amie and I think it's so silly how your hands freeze if you pet the ice crystals on his side.

PlatinumDude October 15th, 2013 7:19 AM

Venitardus October 15th, 2013 9:01 AM

So a quick update on my journey.. I defetes clemont and Valerie and just recently beat team flare at the pokeball factory. I have been leveling my pokes on route 15 but I am going to start searching for a phantump on route 16. I also just caught a Mightyena and named him Black Knight. So, other than that, here is me team as of right this moment:

Black Knight (Mightyena) lvl 36
Greninja lvl 43
Blaziken lvl 43
Charizard lvl 44
Tyrantrum lvl 44

(If anyone would be willing to trade with me when I get my phantump to evolve it then trade back, that would be great.)

mikey October 15th, 2013 9:16 AM

Obtained my fourth Kalos gym badge! Easiest one yet, because my Talonflame destroyed the grass types. Anyway, I am currently on route 13, heading to solve the Power Plant situation. Ran into a Gible and caught that too :3

The team:

Talonflame - Level 41
Greninja - Level 40
Pikachu - Level 40
Amaura - Level 38 (so close to evolving!)
Eevee - Level 37 (won't evolve into Sylveon ;-;)
Inkay - Level 30 (new, training)

My team changes too much. I have so many I want to use haha

The Fourteenth Doctor October 15th, 2013 10:53 AM

Made a lot of progress the last few days, I have 7 badges and have just caught xerneas (I actually caught it after 3-4 great balls which was a surprise).

Team:

Delphox Lv56
Lapras Lv55
Raichu Lv61
Golurk Lv56
Pangoro Lv56
Pidgeot Lv55

NeonMewtwo October 15th, 2013 10:54 AM

Today's update, with a correction and additional information:

I got Lucario, and Tyrunt evolved into Tyrantrum. I'm exploring Frost Cavern. I'm on Mamoswine traveling to Anistar City. I finally have an Eevee on my team and decided to use a Thunderstone on it to evolve it into Jolteon.

classiccartoonsftw October 15th, 2013 12:26 PM

I'm now facing the fourth gym. However, I've got some noteworthy things to mention.

Before I got the third badge, all of my Pokemon (except for Pikachu and Tyrunt) got to evolve.

Also, when I got my own Lucario, I decided to box Pikachu, since my Meowstic knows Charge Beam now.

hughes October 15th, 2013 12:31 PM

I'm in the forest trying to find the 8th gym leader (at least that's what I think I'm supposed to be doing). I really want to beat the game tonight because my club's Pokemon meeting is tomorrow, and I wanted to be done by then. The problem is I have some homework to do tonight. :/

No new changes to the team yet, although I searched a while for a Noibat and couldn't find one. Current levels range from 67-68.

MiniMinun October 15th, 2013 1:51 PM

Another post :D :

The dude on route 10 says your pokemon's power level is over 9000 XD XD XD I laughed so hard.

dlanijer October 15th, 2013 3:46 PM

Quick update as I'm playing today.. I'm (hopefully) about to get my third gym badge. But..

Dear heavens going back to pick my berries is not fun XD Also.. I seem to be stuck on the idea that I can catch every monster with either a regular PokeBall or a Premier Ball. I haven't used any others yet. :P Let's see how long that lasts lol

I also caught a Ferroseed.. :)

UPDATE: and now a Ledyba decided it would be cool and hide in the tree and take my berries. Yeah.. meet my Tyrunt's jaw.

blue October 15th, 2013 4:30 PM

Current team now:
Mightyena (Black Knight) lvl 45
Phantump lvl 38
Charizard lvl 47
Tyrantrum lvl 46
Greninja lvl 47
Blaziken lvl 48

Oh, and my team is all males :| first time this happened in a looooong time.
I am also looking for someone to help me evolve my phantump. So if anyone could help me that would be great!

The Legend of Zorra October 15th, 2013 5:29 PM

Bought X, and I have to say I am very pleased with the array of fire pokemon (although I know this should be obvious, given the array of pokemon in general in the game). Current team: Fletchinder, Froakie, Charmander, Pansear, Torchic. The rest are in the PC currently, because I plan on catching an HM slave on route 5. I just need to say that I love the dancing kid, he's awesome. And that is all.

BeefTaco October 15th, 2013 6:15 PM

Ok I finally get my Tyrunt and rightfully named him Sharptooth. As I continue my journey I decide that I do need a Flying type and Siligylph gets that lucky spot. I fight the Gym leader grant and he takes out almost my whole team with Amaura, my Ivysaur failed 3 Sleep Powder in a row and Amaura took him out. Amaura continues to sweep my whole team except for Frogadier, my beloved Jiraiya succeeds in defeating both Amaura & Tyrunt and so I get my second badge.

Next up is my third gym, Im sure to prepare for this one so I won't have a difficult battle like the first 2 gyms. I evolve my Frogadier into a Greninja and my Ivysaur into a Venasaur, I defeat Serena and so I go to challenge the Fighting type Gym Leader. This was one of the easiest gyms, I never really liked Siligylph as a pokemon but I got to admit, Siligylph sweeped that Gym like a boss!

The fourth Gym felt like filler to me to be honest, it seem like a small stepping stone before you can continue the main story. Still I did acquired Grass Knot for it, that's good :).

I successfully restarted the Power Plant and decided to finally use Super Training. Before I started this game I wasn't planning on making this team a competitive team but I still wanted to get close to a competitive team as I possibly could. With Greninja I choosed to boost attack and speed, I don't know any of these pokemon move sets so I'm hoping he gets good physical STAB moves. With Tyrunt who is actually a Tyrantrum now, I also choosed Attack and Speed, Tyrantrum stats looks similar to Tyranitar so I decided on a similar set. Finally the one I'm training now is a Clauncher with focus on Sp. Attack and Speed.

My current pokemon are

-Greninja
-Venasaur
-Doublade
-Tyrantrum
-Siligylph

the last spot varies until I get Goomy.

hughes October 15th, 2013 7:54 PM

I just beat the Pokemon League! I couldn't find a Noibat, so I just went in with a team of 5. I didn't really have many problems since my team was much stronger than everyone else's. Also, I made sure that I had one pokemon that knew Ice Beam and another that knew Thunderbolt, so it made my life a lot easier. All of my pokemon finished at level 76 or 77.

Although the end had me shaking and in tears, although I don't want to say too much for people who haven't finished it. Call me sentimental. :P

Update! Just finish the the game, log-in 54 hours in total. Kalos region was such a blast to explore, having 12 pokemons to switch around made exploring fun and it felt like I truly bonded with my Pokemon along our journey. From Delphox to Mawile, all 12 of my Pokemons shine brightly in every gym battle and each of them had memorable wins against Rivals & Team Flare. In all, Pokemon Y was an amazing game, pokemon amie made me realize even if they were just "data", we spent countless of hours along side our pokemon, the frustration of losing, the happiness of winning, the journey across a whole new region. So here is the main team I used against the E4 and the Champ;

Team

Spoiler:

http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/131.png
Lapras lvl 70
Lapras was truly an amazing pokemon during my journey. She carried me in the water without hesitation and was one of the pokemons the battle along side me against Team Flare. She would then helped me defeat Malva of the E4.


http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/003.png
Venusaur lvl 72
Ah Venusaur, my favorite mega-evolution. Venusaur was one of the main Pokemon I used against Clemont. Being able to take those electric type attacks like a boss, he was truly something special. He would then help me once again against the battle vs Siebold.


http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/373.png
Salamence lvl 71
Salamence was one of my greatest Pokemon, as a Shelgon he manage to win me the Cliff Badge. Salamence was truly an amazing pokemon during my journey, he would always have my other Pokemon's back just like how they protected him when he was a Bagon/Shelgon. Salamence was able to take down Diantha's Tyrantrum & Goodra.


http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/700.png
Slyveon lvl 72
Slyveon is awesome, I love her. Everything about her is so cute, then you see her in battle and you get scared because of how amazing she is. She was one of the 3 pokemons I used to help me get me Psychic badge. Slyveon also help me win against Drasna of the E4.


http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/678-f.png
Meowstic lvl 70
She and good Goodra make an amazing partner. Light Screen makes Goodra almost unkillable. Meowstic was my lead pokemon and she proven to quite a fighter. Light Screen enables her to get a calm mind in and proceeds to take down Pokemons. She took down Diantha's Gourgeist.


http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/655.png
Delphox lvl 73
She's my most trusted ally in the Kalos region. Her powerful sorcery manage to win me the Bug Badge and the Grass Badge. She's the most respected Pokemon in my team and my other pokemon look up to her strength. She help me win against Wikstrom and had the epic 1 on 1 showdown with Mega Gardevoir.


Reserve
Spoiler:
http://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/303.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/094.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/699.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/691.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/715.pnghttp://serebii.net/xy/pokemon/706.png

Look at that reserve, they were powerful in their own right and manage to snag me the other badges as well. With my Championship Team earning a well deserve break, my reserve will travel with me during my post-game journey.


I love every single one of my pokemon and I have enjoy travelling around Kalos with them. With my reserve as my post-game team and now I'm looking to add 6 more pokemons to my Kalos Family.

So what's next for Me and my Kalos crew? We're just gonna sight see around Kalos and challenge both the Battle Chateau and Battle Maison. My Pokemon are eager to face the Gym Leaders of Kalos in the Battle Chateau. And that's my update <3

Red Viper October 16th, 2013 3:52 AM

Defeated the Elite Four trying it for a second time. Had a bit trouble with Gyarados on my first try. On the second try however, my Meowstic had no problems with him and killed it with one Thunderbolt after maximizing Special Attack with Calm Mind.

After that, I received a Froakie and traded my Sentret for it, I went to that new town, got a Pokéradar (figured out that it only works when you're walking, so no skates). Now I'm trying to hatch my Bulbasaur and Lickitung (hoping for a shiny) eggs.

My team:

Pangoro Lv.71
Blastoise Lv.68
Chesnaught Lv.62
Meowstic Lv.58

I am also training my Power Trained female Espurr. Still thinking who I want to complete my team and if Chesnaught will stay there.

Sabrewulf238 October 16th, 2013 4:14 AM

Currently on route 16 battling the fisherman, picked up a super rod here too. I also decided on Phantump for my last team member. Partially because looking for a super size pumpkaboo was a pain and partially because Phantump has grown on me. Phantump is an annoying little bugger with leech seed and will o wisp. :P

Delphox lv 44 (Fire/Psychic)
Swanna lv 45 (Water/Flying)
Malamar lv 45 (Dark/Psychic)
Mawile lv 47 (Steel/Fairy)
Skrelp lv 44 (Poison/Water)
Phantump lv 40 (Ghost/Grass)

I think I have a well rounded team now. I tried a sky battle but my swanna got thrashed by an emolga, won't be bothering with that again any time soon. Glad they're optional.

Also I think the rate of critical captures might have increased. I've had so many occur over the last day.

Darkwing Ducklett October 16th, 2013 5:27 AM

I caught Xerneas last night...with a single Ultra Ball. That's never happened to me before, so I'm quite pleased that I didn't have to use my Master Ball or chuck half a million balls at it before I caught it. The only downside is its nature, which is Jolly...although according to Smogon it learns some passable physical moves and has a decent enough attack stat, so I've Super Trained it in Attack and Speed. Now I just need to train it 20 levels to catch up with the rest of my party! xD

Still got one badge to go, although I've started to slow down with the game a bit now since I'm approaching the end.

Team -

Venusaur Lv. 44
Delphox Lv. 43
Lucario Lv. 41
Pidgeot Lv. 41
Aurorus Lv. 41
Raichu Lv. 40

Having caught Xerneas, I had to make the hard choice of which pokemon to remove from the team so my Raichu will now be gaining experience at the daycare rather than with my team. I'll also now have a Sylveon waiting in reserve at the daycare. Now onwards to finishing the game. I have registered 18 hours and 18 minutes up to now.

Team -

Delphox Lv. 58
Venusaur Lv. 57
Aurorus Lv. 54
Pidgeot Lv. 53
Lucario Lv. 53
Xerneas Lv. 50

Crimson Arcanine October 16th, 2013 6:41 AM

I've decided to restart my Pokemon X version to try out something a bit crazy. Rather than just training a team of 6, I'll be train up a total of 36 different pokemon with the following restrictions in play. (Note: Its not technically a challenge due to having access to so many pokemon and not a huge amount of randomization nor restriction)

- Out of the 36 pokemon, there must be 2 of each element type, dual element pokemon count as both elements
- I must have at least 5 pokemon from each generation
- HM Slaves count towards the 36 pokemon, and thus must also be trained up.
- In the end, I'm only allowed one of a fully evolved pokemon

This is designed so I can have a well-rounded look of the pokemon of each generation from 1st to newest.

I'll be having fun, and it will allow me to not have so many troubles about which pokemon that will be on a team, something that I had massive problems with earlier. Although recording down the lvls of 32 pokemon gonna be time-consuming :D

That sounds both complicated and interesting, and I wish you luck on that.

As for me, I'm going after Team Flare- currently in Reflection Cave with two gym badges and 13 hours, 14 minutes for playtime. I'm training up a Riolu I got in a Wonder Trade, it's not too far behind the rest of my team and is strong enough to handle Wilds where I currently am story-wise!~

My Team So Far!
Riolu lv. 26 ♂
Braixen lv. 31 ♂
Fletchinder lv. 32 ♂
Wartortle lv. 32 ♂
Absol lv. 33 ♀
Meowstic lv. 33 ♂

I am a bit unpleased with the M-F ratio of my team, but so far it's looking like my E4 team so I won't let it bother me.

Venitardus October 16th, 2013 7:56 AM

I have just caught Xerneus and made the choice of replacing my phantump until I evolve it. A good thing is that my team isn't that far ahead in levels. My original plan was to have a fairy type on my team, and now I do. But I also wanted a grass and a ghost type, so I'll be switching between Xerneus and phantump.

My team as of now:
Xerneus lvl 51
Black Knight (Mightyena) lvl 51
Blaziken lvl 53
Charizard lvl 53
Greninja lvl 53
Tyrantrum lvl 54

I am also training:
Phantump lvl 51

I didn't think I would do much noteworthy today, but I did. I defeated the fourth Gym Leader, replaced Pangoro with a newly caught Trapinch, evolved it, and reached the Kalos Power Plant.

Sabrewulf238 October 16th, 2013 1:24 PM

Not exactly travel but it'll have to do.

I just had a doozy of a realisation regarding a pokemon thanks to viewing the model closely in the pokedex. The pokemon is barboach, for some reason I always thought it's mouth was an eye and that it was some kind of cyclops fish. Probably sounds bizarre to some people but ever since I saw it in the 3rd gen I've been convinced that was the case.

I remember thinking it was such a random oddball of a pokemon when I first encountered it in sapphire.

Gee that was such a surprise, I like the pokemon more now though.

Impo October 16th, 2013 1:35 PM

I've been playing for about 5 hours and still only have one badge! I think I may have skipped a gym :s

Anyway, my current team is
Combusken level 29
Kadabra level 21
Honedge level 17

I want to train more before going further

mozartm99 October 16th, 2013 1:45 PM

I just got the game like 30ish mins ago. So far I made it to the town with the first gym and my chespin is lvl 10.

dlanijer October 16th, 2013 5:21 PM

Just checked out the new PGL.. cool stuff! It's a little bit Facebook.. but it works :D Once again, Dlanijer is off picking his 36 berry trees. Removing weeds, fainting bugs, etc. hopefully off to battle the fourth gym leader sometime soon. I just have to say - bicycling through Kalos is always a blast for me.. I love the updated animation of the game! And... still catching all unseen monsters.. with regular pokeballs.. yup that's Dlanijer.

Current Team:
Lucario
Braixen
Tyrunt
Honedge
Pangoro
Bibarel (SLAVE MODE)

ArcticArcanine October 16th, 2013 6:24 PM

From exploring Luminose City to getting through Routes 5 through 8 and finally reaching the coast of Kalos, I've been pretty busy the last few days!

All I have to say about Luminose City is that it's humongous! All that time exploring it and that was only the south side?! I can't wait to see the rest of the city.
As for my Kanto starter, I chose Squirtle. When the Megavolutions for the Kanto starters were first revealed, I instantly favored MegaBlastoise's look over the others.

I have to say that from walking on Route 5, I truly realized how amazing and overwhelming the amount of Pokemon you can find in this game! There's so many I want to use that I don't know what I want my final team to be {D:} Also, I encountered my first horde, one of Gulpin. I really like how Gulpin opens its mouth wide when attacking.

Camphrier Town was pretty interesting for a small town.

Going on Route 7 and seeing a sleeping Snorlax blocking the path brought back much nostalgia!

The Battle Chateau seems to be a promising place with being able to battle different trainers based on rank. I've been taking advantage of that to level up my Pokes.

Going into Connecting Cave and finding Whismur didn't surprise me one bit but seeing a horde of Zubat definitely was o_O

My gosh, Route 8 was full of cool Pokes! I really like its appearance being near the coast.

Ambrette Town was nice. From the fossil lab, I received a Tyrunt and an Aerodactyl from fossils I found in Glittering Cave. I really want to use both: for Aerodactyl, I want to use its Megavolution and for Tyrunt, I think its evolved form looks so ferocious!
And speaking of Glittering Cave, that place is awe-inspiring! The developers did very well on that location. I also found interesting how one runs into wild Pokemon there. And of course, there are a lot of Pokemon there (like Kangaskhan and Mawile!).

Finally got to ride a Rhyhorn which was fun especially on the Spiky Path. And the first Sky Battle there was a good experience though I had to go back to town to get the right Pokemon from the PC.

The other part of Route 8, the beach part, was nice to travel on.
The design of Cyllage City I find fascinating with the bicycle path and the gym up near the cliffs.

That's how far I've gotten in the game. The past few hours, I've been training for the gym and hopefully, I'll defeat later on tonight!

CM Ryder October 17th, 2013 12:46 AM

After soft resetting for a little while, I finally got a female Fennekin as my starter. Rash natured, so can't complain too much. I just refuse to have a male Braixen/Delphox, looks like it should just be female to me. =/

Anywayz, I quickly beat Shauna with 2 Embers then set off on my journey. Caught every Pokémon I saw on the way to Santalune City. Fennekin evolved into Braixen during the fight with Viola. I've also played a lot of Pokémon Amie with her, got 3 levels of Affection and also started training her in Super Training. Mastered level 2 training, working on level 3. Super Training and Pokémon Amie are super addictive, expect lots of my Pokémon to be EV trained.

I stopped after that because it was late at night. Today I plan on blasting through a lot of the game, adding Squirtle, Honedge, Tyrunt and possibly Sylveon to my team. Will be soft resetting for a Timid or Bold Squirtle though, so might take a while XD

Beat the 7th gym leader, she was the first gym leader to put up any kind of resistance...but it still wasn't very difficult.

Currently in the middle of taking out team flare for good, hopefully.

Virtual Headache October 17th, 2013 3:42 AM

I trained my Vivillon in Special attack and a little bit in Speed though Super Training. Now it has all EVs. I also unlocked new levels in Supertraining.

Now I got the 5th badge (answered questions wrong on purpose so I could battle more).

I visited the spooky house (probably sounds more interesting that it is, it's just a small house). Caught some Pokémon in the swamp (at least that's what it looks like). I then went to the city with the fairy type gym. That city looks very nice. Getting that badge is the next thing I'll do.

She_Delphox October 17th, 2013 4:11 AM

I have already played for approximately 15 hours, and I am currently in training for my 6th badge. :) Yesterday I caught a Goomy, the last member of my definitive team ^_^

My beloved Pokemon Team consists currently out of:
Delphox (female) Lv: 40
Talonflame (female) Lv:40
Pikachu (female) Lv: 39 (will let it evolve after it learned some neat moves Raichu won't)
Sylveon (female) Lv:40
Lapras (female) Lv:40
Sliggoo (female) Lv:41

cookie_lovr October 17th, 2013 6:06 AM

I never got my game(my shipment comes on Tuesday I think), but to make it the most lengthy/savory and difficult, I will catch and maximize my team from the very beginning, including using the basic beginner route Pokemon and replace my team as it goes along.

Not to mention switching up my team once in a while when it gets too overleveled. This way, by the end of the Elite Four, I expect to have a tooon of level50s.
I also want to try fight the Elite Four at least once with all of the Pokemon I have trained through this method as well. c: Give them all a chance.

Sabrewulf238 October 17th, 2013 6:37 AM

Just caught Xerneas. It was pathetically easy to catch. I caught it with a regular pokeball on the fourth attempt. It wasn't even asleep.

Didn't even need the critical capture I had been hoping for.

Red Viper October 17th, 2013 7:06 AM

So today my quest for a shiny Pokémon continued. Having heard that quite some people encounter shinies in Friend Safari, I thought: Let's give it a try. Went into different Friend Safaris, caught some awesome Pokémon, but no shiny.

Then I wanted to deposit some Pokémon, before I continue with the hunt and then I noticed this one:
http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/6788/p87a.jpg
This is the first Pokérus Pokémon I ever caught.
EDIT: Just saw that it infected my Sneasel and Blastoise too... But it doesn't have any value anymore :p I hoped to get double points at Super Training, but no... :(

Crimson Arcanine October 17th, 2013 7:52 AM

As of right now I've hit Route 5 in my new 36 poke team run.

I got heavily distracted today from friends wanting me to roleplay on an old game, so I didn't get too much progress done. On the other hand the first gym leader was reasonably challenging to my team at the time, both my Beedrill and my Pidgey being defeated in the gym battle.

So far...
Badges: 1

Team pokemon: 6/36

Party
Sacred Lotus (lvl 12 male Bulbasaur, adamant)
Zelda (lvl 14 female Zigzagoon, modest)
Flurry (lvl 15 female Pidgey, jolly)
Cinnamon (lvl 16 male Braixen, bold)
Pyrena (lvl 16 female Litleo, gentle)
Barbs (lvl 14 female Beedrill, calm)

Team 36 Box
None

Exitosus October 17th, 2013 8:11 AM

been breeding Hidden Ability Eevees since last night...

so far ive managed to get 5 of the natures i want....
and about 4 females which should trade for something real good to other breeders.

Bowen October 17th, 2013 8:25 AM

So I'm in Geosenge, and I'm kind of sad that they didn't give us an Animal Crossing-style photography feature! EVERYTHING looks good in this game, especially for Game Freak developing in 3D for the first time.

If only they used shaders and 3D vision more. ;^;

classiccartoonsftw October 17th, 2013 11:57 AM

Today, I've defeated the fifth Gym Leader, and reached the town with the sixth gym. As for my team, I'm planning to replace Venusaur and Meowstic with Florges and Gengar, respectively.

SnowpointQuincy October 17th, 2013 4:48 PM

Today....My beloved Inkay had no choice but to evolve into a Malamar... Swagger+Foul Play was able to defeat the most threatening opponents in the game.
However, [email protected] was not bulky enough for the brave new world of the 8th Gym.

Flotee holds the precious Eviolite now... And she can't be harmed by ANYTHING! (special defence at Lv.47 is 108 +50% from Eviolote)

rave of shaggy October 17th, 2013 5:15 PM

After leveling up my team to 20 and maxing out their affection in Pokémon-Amie, head to the 1st gym and beat it.

Now heading to the 2nd gym

my current team

Riolu level 20
Fletchinder level 20
Froakie level 20
Diggersby level 20

I.T. October 17th, 2013 8:08 PM

I'm currently on my way to challenge the 6th gym leader (I've had the game for 6 days now) and I was just at the haunted house location and that scary story scaried me a little. I didn't tip the man though. Am scared :(
