6th Gen What you like doing in Pokémon X & Y that others might think is a waste of time

[Moltres Rider]

what are some things you like to do in Pokémon X & Y that other people might think is a waste of time?


me, I like to make regular visits to the Pokémon Village and talk to the Pokémon there. All you'll hear is their cry, but I like how the trainer bends down to talk to them (or whatever he/she does)

 

[Sandslash Fan]

I stop by the house that gives out the chocolate hearts.

 

[Numix]

Dunno if it's a tolerable answer but, i do haunt for shinies...It may seem that everyone does it, but with this not so new pokechecker shinies, well....

 

[Firox]

Maybe.... somethings that come to mind, which I do a lot:

• Spend hours on Pokemon Amie (play with Pokemon even if they have max affection)
• I battle every wild Pokemon I encounter (except when rushing to Pokemon Center)
• I battle every trainer in a gym (even the ones that can be skipped)
• talk to Pokemon in Lumiose City or at the gates (it seems fun to do - I talk a lot to Espurr by gate that leads to rt. 16)
• talk to every person I meet, in all buildings (some I do forget and talk to again)
• don't know why, I like roller skating around Lumiose City (it's just fun to do, at least for me it is - and I just have to greet Litleo every time I pass by it)

maybe the above reasons I'm passed 200 hour mark in my game, and only have 7 badges.
justinrpg - I love when our player bends down to interact with the Pokemon

Talk to everone on everytime I go to an tow/area.

 

[Powerstars]

Do my job at the hotel daily.

 

[AKPorcupine]

Well, I really only train Poke's I actually like. It seems in this age of IVs and meta-gaming, all people do is make perfect powerful poke'mon. But I just want a really cool looking/loving team.

Pokemon breeding to the point I've received 3 shinies. I'm pretty sure the Daycare Man hates my face by now. I also spend a lot of time trying to "big smile" and failing in Pokemon Amie. :)

 

[Pinta77]

I do this on every pokemon game. Sometimes, I'll just turn on my game and go through all my boxes and make sure all my pokemon are there.

 

[icelovebunnies9]

Well, I always talk to everyone I meet, no matter what. I always do that in my games. It's a bit of a habit now. ^^ I also use Pokemon Amie for max affection, but only with Pokemon that I use often in my team. I also head to the Loto-ID Lottery everyday and try my luck. Last, I train and evolve Pokemon that I need for my Dex. I know that you could just trade, but I like doing this for some reason. ._.

 

[NeonMewtwo]

I like to train constantly in Victory Road, and doing tricks with the roller skates.

 

[Syltti]

Checking boutiques for clothes every single day.

It must be done.

 

[Pumpkaboo]

Pokemon amie when your affection is already maxed. There's no point to it when you get that far, but I do it anyway.

 

[hiff8]

I like the Go-Goat Trams :D

 

[braixen]

i like collecting the items in pokemon amie and playing the mini games for hours. talking to everyone in towns. not much else i guess.

 

[Sonatron]

I spend ridiculous amounts of time in Pokémon Amie, even if they have max affection XD I just love it~

 

[Sleeping Eevee]

Breed randomly, wonder trade randomly. Just out of boredom.

 

[Luna3415]

Breeding pokemon with 6 perfect IV's (and hoping every time an egg hatches it will be shiny + perfect :D)

Further I enjoy the wondertrade and will check the lottery daily :)

 

[Juno]

I spend ages on the "give ___ a nickname?" screen every time, as if it's permanent and I can never change their names again.

I also like to Fly around to every boutique and buy all the clothes. Then I'll go into a change room and try everything on, matching new things with the old and trying out every combination, then probably leave with the same outfit I had on.

 

[Hiatus]

I open up my Pokédex every once in a while and listen to Pokémon's cries, but I'm not exactly sure why. xD It's a great way to kill time, and have become one of my habits since generation three. I play around with my Pokémon in Amie, too. Some may find this feature to be a bit redundant, but I really like it—it's great to see all the expressions that a Pokémon makes when interacting with it. Other than these two, I also spend time exploring few locations, just to see if there are any hidden secrets or something. I know there aren't—if there were, then we all would've known about them already… but still.
