Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Catch-All

Minor gripe: super training feels somewhat awkward with my combination of an XL and being left handed.

m0nk3yboy was my main name, so I went with "Bananas" as my nickname.

One thing i did like was when i changed my greeting, due to the character limit, it appears as "Is space an issu"...

Priceless

Now, i too am enjoying the girl who heals you for free. Does she still stick around 'after' you hit Gym 1 and get the XP share or am I hoping for too much?

Yes, yes, you are hoping for too much.

I'm just to that part too where you have the girl following you around and healing. Had to take a break to ask a question.

I know the game only supports one save but could I back it up on the SD and delete my save so both me AND the wife can play? I really wish I could share the game.

My name starts with J, so i was thinking of J-ster (following the theme), but I ended up with Jester.

Dunno. Perhaps you can get her the opposite game (e.g., if you have Y, give her X)? BTW, friend code, motherfrakker, do you have one?

EDIT: I have added everyone who has posted on this thread who has their Friend Code either in their sig line, or on the spreadsheet.

Please add your friend codes, and add me to your DS, so we can trade pokemon like they're STDs.

So I'm infecting some of the Pokemon with the Pokerus and "putting them on ice" for preservation and potential trades. I'm trying to target ones that I think will be game specific as well, as it seems there is no proper list of game exclusive Pokemon yet. Thus far, here are the tradeable Pokemanz I have with the Pokerus:

- Panpour
- Pansage
- Bidoof (nicknamed Bidurrr)
- Zigzagoon
- Flabebe
- Scatterbug

I think I'll get a couple others as I'm currently working on leveling my brand new Bulbasaur. I've never been in a situation such as this, though, so um... I'll try and get as many friend requests and infect what I can, but I only have so much patience for playing Typhoid Mary.

Still, I should be able to keep at least one infected in the box at all times, so if anyone ever needs a version trade, I can easily infect it pre-trade and then BOOM! instant Pokerus.

Bidoof has been around since Diamond/Pearl, but yeah, once I figure out this trade thing, let's link up!

I just got the 3ds today. I'll have to find the code and post it.

Oh I am certainly aware of this. One of the jokes my College friends and I had was that Bidoof would evolve into Bidurrr, and whenever you told him to attack he'd just roll on the ground going "Durrrr!"

Good times.

That's an incomplete list due to X/Y coming out at the same time worldwide. Not all the information was distributed before the release of the game. So until that list becomes complete, the best option is for me to just list any available infected Pokemon and see if anyone doesn't have one in X.

Dunno if anyone else is having this problem, but the damn does not want to stay connected to the internet when you put the 3DS into sleep mode. I have to reconnect every time I open it back up.

Same problem here. I really love the connectivity feature, but so much in this game is already repetitive. That's how Pokemon games are. I can see myself not bothering to turn it back on at a certain point.

Yeah, I noticed it as well, and I think it also eats up quite a bit of your battery.

Grinding really is easier, though. Unfortunately, there are still those times where you accidentally kill that one rare Pokemon that you then need to spend way too long trying to find again.

Oh my, I think I just got a shiny Flabebe through the Wonder Trade thing... I'm not sure, as the one I had already has a yellow flower whereas this one has an orange one. Could just be a color difference a la the Burmies and such.

I got a female Eevee off of some poor sap on the GTS so it looks like my puppy mil-I mean Breeding Facility is open for business. if any one would like an Eevee egg just let me know and assuming demand isn't to high I should be able to trade you one tomorrow.

They come in yellow, red, blue as far as I've seen. I thought I had a shiny too!

EDIT: Just found an orange one!

I think some male/female differences are color dependent too. I evolved a Vivillon and its wings aren't pink for some reason.

PS: If there's a purple Flabebe, call me.

I'd love to have one.

Being away from Pokemon for so long... I have no clue which Pokemon are really worth anything.

Always happy to trade what I got if I can spare it.

Can do! I'm not picky about what I want but if you have a spare pikachu I'd be happy to take it off of your hands. Also, are you the person named Vivi on my friends list who has purple hair? and if so how did you get it?

It's in your online profile.

Hit the button next to the wifi button > Profile > Click in your name > Change icon.

You can even add a pic of yourself from the SD card!

Btw, got a spare Pikachu for ya.

In a fight! Brt!

Thanks! If you need any more just let me know. those Eevees are pumping out those eggs at a rate of one every minute.

Awesome!

So how exactly are you breeding them? You got one and shacked it up somewhere with a different Pokemon?

Yeah in the day care on route 7. the tricky part is getting a female as those are pretty hard to find but once you have one you're good to go.

This is getting harder and harder to resist! /looks at backlog...

I want a pika-pika-pikachu.

Agreed, at least in Y. The fighter who has one says "they are hard to find, then if ought about 6 in a row.

Is it wrong that I want to play this tonight, instead of my usual 'sit down' time with Skyrim?

EDIT:
Wonder trade is so easy to abuse. Some poor sod just wound up with the level 2 Scatterbug I freshly caught, for their level 10 Pancham with four move slots filled. I was looking for a dedicated fighting Pokemon to add to my motley crew!?!?

Does Wonder Trade have a system in place at all? Do trades occur by level, rarity, anything? Or is it completely random?

I'd love to start trading the level 15-20s I've been catching but I don't want my boxes filled with Fletchlings and Bunnelbys. So broken if Lvl 1s can be traded for anything.

At this stage, I can only guess it's random.
