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

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.

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
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
