Hello! In the words of Gil Scott-Heron, I'm new here.
I have "finished" Pokemon Y. I am the Champion, I've done the never-ending Looker Bureau side-quest. And I am just wondering if there is anything left to do... I am pretty keen to get Pokemon Red and one of Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire ahead of Sun & Moon, particularly now that Pokemon Bank/Transporter will function with it. BUT, as a perfectionist/masochist, I want to fully explore Pokemon Y.
So can I ask these questions? Would someone kindly answer me?
As of right now, to my understanding, these are the things that I can do that will still result in my Pokemon getting more powerful (exp points, basically):
- Restaurant Le Wow (although all opponents are Lv55, right?)
- Sushi High Roller
- Re-challenging the Elite Four and Champion (can you re-challenge gyms?)
- Serena (once daily)
- Inverse battle (once daily)
- Essentia (once every Tues/Thurs/Sat)
I will also keep doing trades/battles over wifi to up my Poke Miles and get Rare Candies/PP Ups.
Aside from these things though, I can't see anything that will bring tangible benefits.
There is Battle Maison, but as I don't really get into the whole competitive non-RPG battling thing, I'm not that interested in doing millions of battles to get BP to swap for items.
Can someone tell me about the Friend Safari? Is this worthwhile? My understanding is that I will need to make 'friends' with many people via the PSS to use it, though. Is this correct? Are the man hours worth it for Lv30 Pokemon?
I still have questions about the PSS and the 'Global Link', but I need to research them a bit more.
Basically, what I am asking is - if you aren't into the whole breeding/egg groups/IVs/EVs/competitive battling/Smogon-type bull****, is it worth still playing around with Pokemon Y or can I just dump all my fav Pokemon in the Bank and buy Pokemon Red and Omega Ruby.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far!
