Out of the three legendary bird Pokémon, Articuno would have to be the most beautiful. Its feathers are silky and extremely shiny, and its tail is quite ribbon-like, which I'm a big fan of! Plus, Articuno is entirely blue. And blue is one of my favorite color. The most beautiful Pokémon of all, though, would probably have to be Ninetales. It's got a fluffy-looking crest above its head, its legs are pretty long, it has a small, cute nose, and it also has a pair of eyes that are small as well. Both of its eyes are red, which fits the color scheme of its whole body just perfectly! Legend has it that with the help of its eyes, it can hypnotize and control the mind of almost anybody. Isn't that interesting?

Has anyone solved the last five clues to that savager hunt game
Sorry, no :<


So, is everyone busy playing the new games now? :p Or are you maybe more excited for the anime?

NOO not me I'm not busy :< I kind of want to wait for the sequel, because I've only ever bought sequels to the main series games (Platinum and Black 2 - HeartGold doesn't count I guess). I wonder if they're going to ever bring back walking Pokemon... would be cool to have puny Pikachu sprite running behind you - now that I think about it, it's probably impossible now that everything's 3D and less abstract.

I'm finished with the game (well, not completely finished—only finished with the story), so I'm not as busy with it as I used to be. When I first gotten a hold of Pokémon Y, I've played it for nearly six straight hours. I haven't played video games for that long in ages. xD The storyline of this game was a bit shorter than I expected though, so I was a little disappointed about that. It would've been awesome if they had continued the story even after you were done with defeating the champion and elite four, similarly to Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

As far as the anime goes—I'm looking forward to see it, but I'm not exactly sure if I'll be keeping up with it. :( I've stopped being a regular watcher of the anime about four to five years ago, as I have lost my interest in it completely.

You didn't play the first BW? From what I've seen, they were pretty different, not just like D/P and Platinum. Different story, pokémon etc. But it's your choice :3

Also yeah I'd want pokémon to be running after you again! That was a great add to HG/SS imo.

You finished it that fast? I want to play games as slowly as possible, usually, to really enjoy them and find all little secrets. It is nice with some more story after the game is "completed" :/ I hope there's stuff to do still after the E4? Just not main story perhaps.

I haven't been a regular watcher of the anime in ages either. It's just not my thing anymore ^^ But once upon a time, that and the TCG was what brought me into pokémon.

I won't be getting X and Y for another few months so I'll kill some time by doing more playthroughs of the postgame on my Black 2 version before I get ready for Kalos. My Black 2 team is actually quite strong I gotta say, but I usually have been quite addicted to the PWT Rental Battles lately.

I've like, played every paired version and "third" version from Gens 3-5. While I sadly have to wait months before I can even get my X and Y games, at least it will take me time to learn the new mechanics so that I'm fully prepared for when I do start my Kalos adventure.

I've often wondered how people manage to finish the games so fast as well- I'd rather take my time trying to beat it, so the experience lasts me longer than if I'd rushed through. I haven't even gotten my second gym badge in Y yet, and I'm forcing myself to not play so I don't finish too quickly.

And I can't say that I really care either way about the anime at this point in my life, as I could probably count on one hand how many episodes I've seen since the beginning of the Hoenn arc. I might watch the first episode just like I have with the other new regions, but beyond that, the anime just doesn't do it for me any more.

Hah over here we come to brag about how much of a Pokéfan are we XD

I just wished I had more consoles than emulators to play in, I really want to grasp a 3DS and play X&Y right now. But I try to keep up with everything regardless, and I've played all the games before X&Y save for most of them in emulators.

On another note, I've read the Pokémon Special (Adventures) upto Hoenn fully too. We need more manga talk around here XD

I recall the shortest time I ever completed the main story of a Pokemon game was Black, which took me 13 days. Only one day short of a fortnight, but I did play for continuous hours on one day which was October 1st, 2011 when I got the game for my 19th birthday. I had literally earned the first three Gym Badges in that one day.

I think I finished Platinum in a little over three weeks as my fastest first playthrough of a game, but that was just because I got bored with it quickly and wanted to finish it just to say I did. I know that if I wanted to, I could easily finish Y by the end of the week by playing for hours at a time, though I'm more than happy going through at this relaxed pace (though, it does mean I'll still be dodging spoilers for a few more weeks, anyway).

If you know the game, you can finish it lightning fast (especially when you do it with just one Pokémon and a batch of HM Slaves) and that was the case for me when I beat the game with my level 100 Kadabra. I had to teach it TMs to beat Sidney, however. Took half a week and another day for the finish, I estimate.

My problem with X is that I have to catch every Pokémon at a location before I can advance, so I'll spend an hour or two catching Pokémon at every Route/Cave/wherever. I got the game on Saturday and I just reached Coumarine City (fourth Gym badge) for the first time tonight.

So, is everyone busy playing the new games now? :p Or are you maybe more excited for the anime?
How about both? As excited about the new anime as I am, I'm actually looking more forward to Wobbuffet returning rather than the actual XY series xD

It's called Pokémon Origins. All I know is that it's based off of the classic Red/Green Version games and has a different art style (and possibly different voice actors for Brock, Oak, etc.). Red battles the Gym Leaders to earn his badges, challenges the Elite Four, and also antagonizes Team Rocket. It's only four episodes long but it looks really interesting. The U.S. dub airs on November 15th.

Pokémon Origins is not precisely an anime season—it's just a four-part anime special. The plot is very similar to first-generation Pokémon games (Red, Blue, and Green), and features Red as the main hero, Blue as the rival, and with Giovanni and Team Rocket being the antagonists. This seems to be very interesting to me, so I'll definitely make sure not to miss it when it airs. :) I'm not exactly sure if they'll making any more specials based on other Pokémon games, but it would be great if they do! If fans demand for more of this, then I'm sure they'll make it happen.

I am legit excited about the anime series. I watched the first episode already and hnng it was so great I really hope this series stays as amazing as the first episode and doesn't teeter off after the beginning. Ash's first battle in Kalos was so intense and like yeah!! As for Origins I haven't seen it maybe some day.

Also I'm playing X and actually bothering with the Pokedex what is this nonsense.

Pokémon Origins was pretty cool. I watched it all in one go and some things disappointed me and other things were just like we always wished that the "real" anime was like. I like the concepts presented in this special better than most things about Ash's world, haha.

Hm, what made that first Kalos episode so great then? Is the animation better, is Ash better, are the battles better?

Well, in Kalos there are so many pokémon so it might actually be a fun challenge to try and complete the pokédex! Or?

Has anyone thought about making a Pokemon crossword yet? I thought it would be a good time to do so now that more Pokemon have been revealed. I thought of one crossword, and put it up for download if you wanna give it a shot. This downloadable puzzle is based all on Pokemon, and I realize that I could've made it more interesting by adding Pokemon moves, items, etc. I may do that on another puzzle if this idea is interesting enough.

I had to do it cryptically rather than American, otherwise I'd be getting headaches trying to sort every letter out. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this quick puzzle!

Spoilered my answers in case anyone else would still like to give it a try:

Spoiler:


That was a fun little crossword! I don't know if it quite needs it own thread though, but I'll move it over to the DCC so that other people can give it a go. Maybe if we had a Pokemon puzzles thread it could go back, but that might be infringing on Pokemon Trivia's territory. Either way, if you do make more, I'd love to give them a try!

MERGED.

A Pokemon Crossword was one of the PokeTrivia League's first puzzles. There hasn't been another one since as I'm trying to get as many puzzle varieties in as possible before repeating any. Just tossing that in here for any sort of clarification!

Man, does anyone think Nintendo will ever plan to market an official capture card for their 3DS? They would make serious bucks ._. If people are willing to pay 250-500$ for a modded one, thousands more will buy it for cheaper, I know my friends and I would.

Doing a let's play with just a cam is so restricted :( and I lose potential viewers doing so

Eh, well that's a good point, but I'm pretty sure there's lots of LPers wanting to showcase their gameplay but are just afraid to because of potential viewers leaving if it isn't recorded on a card.

Oh well, more saving up to do then haha. For now, recording with a cam is working fine for me I guess.
