6th Gen It's bonding time!

[Nah]

As you journey through Kalos in X/Y, you sometimes bump into a creepy old man who goes by the name Mr. Bonding. If you talk to him, he'll give you an O-Power (after some "bonding time"). O-Powers are a modified version of the Entree powers from Gen V, and give you a variety of temporary effects such as an Exp. Point boost or reduction in shop prices. Do you think it's an improvement over the Entree powers? How can O-Powers be improved? What's your favorite O-Power?

....And what the hell happens during "bonding time"?

Definite favourites involve the Experience Power, Prize Money Power and Hatching Power. Friendship used to be one, but once you farm 500+ Pomeg Berries, friendship stops being an issue.

I for one believe they're an improvement over the old Entree powers as I never really bothered with them much...and you had to have a friend with you to get the most out of it by playing the mini-games with you.

As for what happens during "Bonding time"...I'm pretty sure this may be covered in certain websites...

Spoiler:

Don't go looking, I warn ye...

They're definitely an improvment over Entree Powers, mostly because they're more accesible..I'm sure most people have never used an Entree Power. My favorite would be Breeding Power.

How can they improve? Well, lasting longer than 3 minutes would be nice. Even if you have x4 energy recovery the menuing every 3 minutes gets tedious while breeding.

Bonding Time was really an odd way of giving them out, though...it reminds me of the Chef NPCs from Tales of Symphonia, lol..

i'm assuming "bonding time" was him teaching you how to access that particular o-power.
i think... i hope......... maybe................

as for opowers, i definitely like them more than entree powers.
i feel like these were easier to understand, and there was more variety, too.

and i have to admit, the hatching power is soooooo useful.
