Can anyone tell me how quickly you can trade? I want to coordinate with my brother so we can both get all 3 starters, but want to know how much of a time commitment I'm signing up for. Thanks!

Based on what I remember, you get it around after getting your first Gym Badge, the Bug Badge from Santalune Gym.

Does anybody know if you still get EVs from battling pokemon or is it all just super training now?

In options, there's a force save before trading and stuff option - what does that do?

I believe when you try to trade or use other online functions it always asks you to save - but with this you can turn it off.

Anyone else getting Mono sound?

Is this just how the game's music is? It's a bit underwhelming. The only thing I've heard in stereo so far is the 2nd intro theme.

try some headphone might be better

I have headphones on already. Everything else with my 3DS is in stereo.

Did you check under options, koff~

The previous installments in the series had the ability to select mono or stereo sound. Hope that helps, koffi~

Checked already. I didn't even see an option for sound.

I've just got my seventh Badge, and I can't find Team Flare HQ, nor I can proceed to Route 18.
What am I supposed to do now then?

Maybe your headphones are going bad? I know I get that sometimes with my iPod and 3DS. I was using my headphones that I got about a year ago and I guess they went bad. It would switch in and out depending on the angle it was facing. The music got louder/stereo and softer/mono.

If I had an auxiliary plug I could show you guys...

Edit: Also, I said everything else on my 3DS is in stereo. My other games, and the 3DS boot screen and menus. Just not this game... except the 2nd intro (the theme that plays after the main Pokemon X theme when you first turn the game on).

I don't have one so I can't check what route they are on but someone on GTS atm is offering a bagon for a plusle and if you go to the bottom of the alphabet in what you are requesting theres an option to type a name and trade for pokemon you haven't seen so I suggest trading for it.

Been looking for Bagon for a long while now on Route 8 but it never appeared once, starting to worry its a X exclusive since i'm playing Y, is this the case?

EDIT: nevermind, one finally appeared eventually, must be like 1% chance or something

Anyone know where you catch Inkay, I've heard you can get one before the second Gym but an actual location would be great.
