I think everyone here knows my starter Kenji (Samurott)
Well i think that starter pokemons are easy to train and their affection level is high too as you get them. Well for this month I think I will use my save file in Fire Red.

Spoiler:
I liked to share this well it looks like someone who get the game early leaked this photo of the final evolution of gen 6. well just sharing.

No, the 2ds are real and I think they will be released in the market somewhere in October I think.

Here is the video and Nintendo is the one who posted this
Thanks for the help kirou12 I really hope that they will come here soon in the Philippines because here in the Philippines we like cheap but awesome stuff and X and Y here is a craze now even my friends scream at me to buy them a copy of one of the games.

I'll participate in the new trainer sprint once X and Y comes out. I believe that a starter is the main pokemon because you gain the first few levels with and you strengthen your bond with it first. I've never abandoned a starter unless it was for competitive battling or a special challenge (Nuzlocke).

I'll participate in the sprint also because I saw in some websites that the 2ds will be released in the same day X and Y is released and it's very cheap here so no trouble for me from now on and Pokemon X and Y is only 1,600 PHP here.

@Mikasa, the 2DS is basically a cheaper console that lets you play 3DS games without them being 3D. Great to hear you'll be able to participate with X or Y, I'm also really excited about the games ^^

Though don't forget, guys, that you're still welcome to post any progress in training even if it's not sprint related. Well, I admit that I haven't been able to train much these past couple of weeks.

Kirou and Dylan, I guess that's true, since it's the first partner you get when you start your journey, I guess you do get more emotionally attached to it. I tend to treat the Pokemon in my team equally though, so my lead usually changes a lot, depending on who I'm training at the moment, so the levels are also usually even among my Pokemon. In gen 5 games, I've used all three starters; Snivy was my first Pokemon ever, Cleo was her nickname, and for half the game, she had awful moves and I was very clueless about how to use her correctly until I got how STAB and type effectiveness worked. My second starter was coincidentally also a female, Loreley the Samurott. Both made it into the Hall of Fame, but I admit that I have ditched Pi the Pignite in my B2. I'm not sure why, I just wasn't able to find him a spot in the team, so I boxed him. He never even got to evolve into an Emboar :(

I guess that's why I usually end up never having my starter leave my party but although I haven't been able to play much pokemon (University and GTA has been really time consuming) I have been training an NU team consisting of Meganium, Liepard, Absol, Nidoqueen, Ninetales, and un undecided member (hoping for a Gardevoir). Now that I look back it looks like a very feminine team, oh and a question for MIAU, how do you know my name?

So my game wouldn't start earlier, that was freaky o_O

I want to resume some training I was doing with my Water team tonight -- yeah, I keep saying that. Currently, my team's levels range from 30 to 70, so I'll be doing some training at the sports domes in Nimbasa and then I'll head to Victory Road, or should I do some more EV training?

Same here, except it's work and TS3 -- actually, in Sims Medieval I just started a new kingdom called Unova, guess what I called the king, hehe. Oh, and I tend to just call people with the names they put in their AKA field, you know, that shows up when you hover over the username.

Good job on the Crystal run, Pacifist!

And I've been playing Pokemon X as well, it's such a great game! By the time I got my 2nd badge, I had already played for 24 hours, all the new features are just so amazing, badges and such can wait, hehe.

Anyway, I chose Froakie and Charmander as my starters. Froakie because she's a ninja, how cool is that? And Charmander because I'm still under the effects of Pokemon Origin, and my boyfriend really likes Mega Charizard X.

Now, about training in this game; it may be the effects of the new Exp. Share, that I eventually turned off, and the boosted experience gain for Pokemon you've played a lot with in Amie, plus the fact that I've been farming the Battle Chateau for money, but I think I already have about two full teams that I've been training, with some Pokemon pushing level 40, while I've yet to challenge Clemont, whose team I think is just under level 35. What do you guys think? To me, it just feels so easy to gain experience. Which is super fun, since less grinding = more time to enjoy the new features, plus I get to train more Pokemon ^^

Oh, and I'll post my FC too then: 3153 - 4016 - 5784 :)

Ugh the club has been so inactive and thats so sad :c i wonder what we could do to make it as active as it was sometime ago.
and thanks for the FC MIAU you have a really good Friend Safari with Wartortle Poliwhirl and Bibarel
At the moment im trying to concentrate in completing my Kalos pokedex to get the Oval charm and to hatch a shiny Snorunt with the Masuda method, the Kalos dex is going to be really easy its just going to take some time the only problem is that i think that i have to get Moltres and Zapdos too which is going to be a pain, and im testing some teams at the Pokemon showdown to determine which team i should build ingame so yeah for now im not doing much training.

Cool! Everyone seems to be playing X/Y right now. Anyone else actually not own a copy yet? I don't since I haven't got my hands on a 3DS, but from the looks so far it sounds pretty promising. What's everyone up to in their games, anyone doing something like shiny hunting/breeding projects? I imagine completing the national pokedex of X/Y would be almost impossible- with about over 700 or so monsters. That's just insane. XD

Anyway, I haven't actually gotten up to anything in the pokemon franchise recently. I think I might go back and play some older games! I've never actually played anything before Gen 4 (or at least finished it), so I might do a playthrough of Crystal if I have time. Gonna be good. :]

I figured everyone has either been staying away from the games, or way to busy playing X/Y. For me, it's the latter, I actually finished the game the other day, so for now I'm trying to figure out what to do next ^^

Pacifist, it's funny you mentioned Snorunt, since your Safari is Ice-type, with Snorunt, Sneasel and Piloswine. Are you going for Glalie or Froslass?

Narnia, the new games are really good! They actually exceeded my expectations, and I had pretty high expectations to begin with, so that says something. Gaining EXP is so, so easy, but that doesn't mean the games are easier; in fact, I was switching my team around so much, that sometimes I was under-leveled or at most on par with the Gym Leader's team. I never did any grinding, and I never rushed to the next Gym like before, so I loved training my Pokemon :)

Truth be told though, there aren't many new things to do after you beat the game, so I guess I'll focus on breeding and evolving Pokemon for my 'dex. I even did some shiny hunting, well, chain fishing actually, and I already stumbled upon two shinies. They feel a little cheated though, so I plan on trying out the Masuda Method, though I'll have to start searching for a foreign Ditto on the GTS for the moment.

I won't be starting new sprint this month, because I feel like our current theme can still provide some good topics. We've already talked starters, so let's focus on an iconic early-route group of Pokemon, everyone's favorite rodents.



Do you train early-route rodents in your game? Which one is your favorite and why?

Im not really sure if i even want to evolve Snorunt when i get it but i really like Glalie better over Froslass.

I dislike Raticate and Watchog a lot i think their designs are either too common and not creative at all or just way too weird, i love Furret and Linoone they are just really cool Pokemon that i really like, about Bunnelby i think its really cute but Diggersby just bothers me a lot and Bibarel is a cool guy, i really dislike that most people never even tried using it, its not like Bibarel is my favorite Pokemon or something but i just think its kinda cool and deserves more love.

Nope. I never took interest in them! I don't like Raticate or Watchog either. There's just something unsettling about them. XD

Furret is absolutely adorable but not something I would use everyday. Linoone's probably my favourite of the bunch with all of its power. A really underrated Pokemon in my opinion! Bibarel has a unique typing and I guess it isn't too shabby. I used to dislike it a bit though. Overall the rodent pokemon are pretty much like a stepping stone for new players but they can be used to their fullest potential by experienced ones as well. :]

Welcome to the club! So how are going at that, EV training/super training/IV breeding? Are you training for the in-game battle facilities, or are you a competitive battler?

Username: Pilkie
Your Goals: I want to 100% complete the Pokédex for X/Y.
Welcome! And good luck with your goal, that sounds crazy now with so many Pokemon! X/Y do have many, many Pokemon in the wild, and hopefully in December when we get Poke Bank, more Pokemon will be available from previous generations, so you'll be able to get even closer to your goal :)

Now, about those rodents. I admit that I was never that interested in them either! I'm actually curious about them, since a lot of people seem to dislike them a lot. I've grown to accept Raticate's design, and even like Watchog's, and I recently learned of Super Fang, which paired with Hypnosis, would make Watchog a good Pokemon to use for captures, though, sure, there are other Pokemon that would work better for that.

I guess that's their problem, there are other Pokemon who're just better. They're available very early, so just like Narnia said, they're great for the first part of the game, but eventually there will be stronger Pokemon that you'll want on your team. Unless you really like its design -- I would use Furret if I ever get to play a Johto game, it's just super adorable -- or if it has a niche that allows for some creative strategy in battle, the poor rodent may eventually get boxed.

Welcome to the new members!
About my hunt for a shiny Snorunt there's not much to talk about i have been breeding a little bit every day like a box every day but no shiny yet.
and there's a topic that fits the "New beginnings" that i would like to discuss ^^
Do you always pick the character of your gender?
well i am curious about how people choose the character for the game.
I normally choose the girl (Im a boy) because i actually choose the character that i like the design the most and i think that most male characters look really just too similar and that the female characters have a way better worked design.

Your Goals: I just want to collect as many event pokemons as possible and have nearly perfect IV legendaries and shiny roamers through RNG (will buy older generations for that, but for now I'm busy playing pokemon Y). I have little care for battling but if I do I always try to use pokes I like not pokes from Smogon's OU list
I will be readding those people I've added in the past... My friend code changed and I don't know why.. Some of my applications are gone in my 3DS too so.. I dunno what happened.. Someone may have messed with my 3DS :S

Do you always pick the character of your gender?

I almost always choose a character to match my gender. The only game I initially chose to be a girl in was Skyrim because I liked the femal Imperial models better. I always choose male in games where I won't be able to change my gender later on without restarting (exception of Skyrim where I can switch with the console). In games where I can play through without dedicating a thousand hours, I will choose whichever one is more appealing at the time.

In Pokémon, I always choose the male character because I don't restart my games often so I would like to use my actual gender.
