6th Gen Guide To Secrets of X&Y

[Hiatus]

Wow, that's a pretty nice discovery! :] Have you tried getting into a match, though, and see if it has any in-battle effects? Diamond Dust didn't affect battles in previous gens, but I wonder if that's any different in X and Y. Also, this would fit better in your "Guide to Secrets" thread, so I'm merging it with that; please don't mind.

Merged.

ooh i didn't think to try that.. unfortunately, I just fetched my Lapras and surf around in the water and there was no diamond dust in battle :<

and aww, merged D:! hehe, not many will see it probably and not know of Diamond Dust in X&Y :<

Also i better send a new message to Bulbapedia xD lol I linked them to the post I made (rather than explain it out in the message) :P

Update for those who may of missed it :P but #17 above, the Diamond Dust Easter Egg has been discovered, a PokeCommunity exclusive 1st confirmation in X&Y!

Not even the comprehensive PokeResources (bulbagarden,marriland,serebii) have any info, youtube has no videos, and other forums and reddit hasn't discovered it yet either ^^

 

[BigSteve]

crack on and youtube it then!!

Maybe sometime you should make a video showing everything you've accumulated in this guide/thread.

Other than stationary videos, it would be hard for me to make a video for everything, since i don't have a modded 3DS with video output. all i did to make the videos above was stuck my digital camera on some stuff with my 3ds sitting infront, turned off all the lights..

also camera was extremely close to the 3DS in order for the image to be large enough (camera's focus set to 6cm), so close that i couldn't even get my hands in there to do anything unless my hands block the video at times or accidentally knock the camera xP

also unfortunately for some of those secrets above, I couldn't even get a video of unless I reset my Adventure and replay the story since alot are one time only events.

Ah, right. Forgot about all that stuff. Oh well, at least we get this thread.

does the fact you can dodge the lift and sit on the throne in the room before the champion (name is a spoiler ofcourse) count as a secret?

I don't think so o;, mainly cause it serves no purpose, maybe if it unlocked an event or triggered something slightly different to happen, then yes. but I actually did that myself during one of my E4 playthroughs.

 

[BigSteve]

surely its a mini Easter egg being as it isn't something you'd usually find without thinking "what happens if I...."

 

[The Feves]

Hah! I love that you added the mysteriously empty garbage cans of Kalos to the list! ^-^

 

[MiniMinun]

I knew about most of these, but a few I had no idea about. Great and fun guide to read!

 

[Xerneas_X]

updated and fixed some errors :)

Do you know what happens when you click on your Pokemon in the status screen?

One of their in-battle animations plays, correct?

 

[hanswurst1999]

Not sure if those are in battle animations ^^
But yes animations play.
How did you stumble upon this feature, I only discovered it trough luck?

Some time ago on my White, for whatever reason I had tapped one of my Pokémon on its status screen, and it jumped to its back sprite. So Zekrom would go from:



to:





And I remembered that the other day while playing Y, so I figured that something similar should happen in X/Y, tapped one of my pokes on their status screen, and lo and behold, it played a little animation.

Just read somewhere that in order to activate the Lumiose Ghost mystery, you just need to bring by a Rotom (from Lost Hotel, dunno about previous gen. transfers) on Tuesday in order to receive a rare candy.

Seems kinda lame considering this ghost has created all sorts of awesome speculation. I haven't been able to test this theory, so if someone is more able than I at the moment, I suggest at least trying it.

that is an extremely old rumor, from literally the beginning, october.. it's been disproven extensively. Even i've tried it personally long ago (at various times), does absolutely nothing. same goes with Darkrai, Cresselia, or any previous gen legendary combination.

most likely some moron heard there's a Rotom event on a Tuesday, and mixed the two together, before it became common knowledge the Tuesday Rotom event is just the day you can find Rotom.
