  • What are you gonna do in X/Y that you have done in every Generation before and you consider it a tradition?
    Are you going to add something new to these traditions?

    My tradition is to always start with the Grass Starter each new Gen no matter what.Well i love Chespin so i am more than happy with the tradition.
    I will as usuall do my ''5 level every city training''
    Last i am gonna use a fairy type which is something new!Probably shushup

  • My tradition is probably gonna be to battle the first wild Pokémon I run across to gain experience. It isn't until after a while that I begin to run from wild Pokémon upon encounter.

    So basically at the end of the game I would then trade/transfer from the series beforehand. I don't know about now since there's no news on game compatibles between past generations.

  • I must win my first rival battle, if I lose then the whole 6th Gen. is ruined for me lol. I'll also have to catch every Pokémon that I can, mainly the new ones. I'll name my character 'Joshua', instead of the casual 'Josh.' I will also talk to ALL the people! Last but not least, I'll spare the Master Ball. As far as making new traditions, I don't have anything planned yet.

  • I'd choose the Water-type starter like usual (4th Gen was the only exception), I'll include a Grass and Fire-type to cover the lack of the other starters (otherwise if I go with Fire or Grass I again pick a substitute for the missing types) as well as a Flying-type to fly me around and then two wildcards. Might even try a Fairy-type on my team for once so I can get the hang of the new type.

    I'll still name my character after my real name like usual.

    Try and catch any new Pokemon I find, and trade for version exclusives if possible.

  • I only have a few things that I usually do on my first run-through of the Pokémon games. First and foremost, I never dump my starter on the first run. I feel like they're a big part of the game (for me at least) and I like to play through with one (Especially because Chespin is absolutely adorable). I tend to usually use of the starting birds as well (So Fletchling will probably make an appearance as well). Other than that I don't really have any big traditions!

    I'm planning to break traditions and go balls-deep on this one. Trading all over with my friends, talking to NPCs, catching EVERYTHING, training harder (Jay's five-level concept sounds like a decent idea), and maybe actually using my starter this time around.

  • it is sort of a tradition to have 1 pokemon at least of every new type that comes out. BUT, my real tradition is that i have to win EVERY ****ING BATTLE with my rival otherwise the experience of beating the crap out of him with the type disadvantage is ruined for me

    I don't really have any traditions when playing through. I do hope to beat the Elite Four with a fairy type though, that definitely would be a new thing.

  • I always try to complete the pokedex after I beat the Elite Four. I am going to continue this tradition because filling the dex is my favorite thing to do. It is going to be harder than ever though with all the new pokemon @_@;

  • I always use a Bug-type for some reason, even though most of them aren't very good. I also always choose Chikorita when possible, but I don't really care for the grass-types of other generations. And I always use my starter. Your first pokemon in a new region is a magical creature. I never leave Chikorita, Squirtle, Torchic, Piplup, or Tepig at home.

  • Get the generic bird Pokémon and for this instance, it's Fletchling. Also, I'd get a team that is so completely wrong to use together. x3

  • My starter pokemon is always going to be one level higher than the rest and the other 5 pokemon should be at the same level. I also have an another tradition to never complete the Dex.

    Usual traditions:
    1 Catch every new Pokémon I encounter.
    2 Talk to everyone.
    3 Re-battle as many people as possible.
    4 Have an HM slave & never let any of my pokes learn HMs besides Surf.
    5 Complete the regional PokéDex.

    Goals I hope to achieve this gen:
    1 Use a Fairy type in my team.
    2 Trade as much as possible to complete the National Dex.
    3 Level up my pokes to be near lvl 100.

  • I'm gonna buy a crapload of Moomomilks(as soon as I am able) that usually last a few good hours into the game before they stop refilling health fully. Additionally, Soda Pop in the vending machine. Every time.
