-pets spheal-

Yes, friend safari, I love you. Spheal is so cute :3

I love reddit! I'm now currently at 80 friends and have all the dittos, chanceys, and other miscellaneous pokemon a trainer requires. xD

I have two friends in game .-.

do any of you have luxio and braixen on your safaris?
looking for those in particular, I want a braixen with magician. _(:3

I was actually disappointed in this game, It wasn't at all like I thought it would be, The gyms were far to easy as well as the e4. Considering I soloed the e4 with a Lucario, Which shouldn't have worked at all.... The post game stuff is weak, Though I loved the story, I think they wasted to much time on the side stuff then they did with the actually main game play.. But, that is just me..

I'd agree the battles are pretty easy, when I talked about it with my bf, he told me "well it is a game made for kids"
... yeah...
well the game very addictive in any case
took me a while before I moved on to the second gym

flattened the 3rd a gym with just a honedge, evolved while I was there so it's now a Doublade

and after leveling up special defense on honedge, I didn't have to worry about the attacks he is weak towards, yay

I don't think the amie carries over to trainer battles with other people but do the training stats also not carry over?

also really surprised by how many people in the game just hand you pokemon and items... it's neat and helpful, just surprising
went from soul silver to x
was walking around and thinking you know what I need a water pokemon so I can surf, and I talked to a guy moments later and he gave me his lapras
yay!

I didn't think some of the battles were so easy.

I had to borrow a pokemon and then train to defeat the elite four. They kicked my butt the first time through. So yeah.

The E4 this time around is a substantial spike in difficulty. The gyms are all laughably easy if you're putting any effort into it -- about the only way you're going to have trouble is if you're trying to speed through and not spend any substantial amount of time into leveling up, or if you don't pay attention to type matchups.

And then you hit the E4. They're still pretty easy if you've been intentionally training, but if you've been playing casually, they're really the first time you're going to encounter resistance that runs the risk of TPK.

I didn't bother with training or anything. I just played. The gyms were fine....the elite 4 though? Not so much XD Gyarados....WITH EARTHQUAKE! HATE! If it wasn't for that, it wouldn't have been so bad.

I didn't notice the difference with the Elite Four, especially considering that I was OHKO-ing everything.
I dunno... I love everything that was added to the game, but their is nothing to go off of right now. I'm waiting for Pokemon Bank, and after that I don't know what to do. There is no Pokemon World Tournament/Elite Four to keep me interested to play for hours. Only a lame battle house. I don't want to bother adding 50 billion friends until I find someone with a Wartortle or Ivysaur when I can easily trade for one.

Just the amount of end game content in this game is so poor. :/ I'm looking more and more forward to Pokemon bank, just so I can transfer all my Pokemon over and start a nuzlocke for my Pokemon Black 2.

Apparently you trained more than me. Gyarados's Earthquake was killing everything I had except Talonflame...then he'd just use a different move to kill it. I've never had problems with elite four until now. Still beat it after training one? Two? pokemon to level 100.

I can breed you squirtle/ivysaur/any of the 6 starters in game.

I think it has plenty...because I like spamming the wonder trade thing with BIDOOF! AND PIDGEY! AND FLETCHLING!

Especially the bidoof.

You had to train them to 100 to beat it? Strange, Was this the first time through? Cause my Lucario was like.. 79? When I soloed him through the e4

my pokemon were all like late 60s at elite 4 and that was rushing through

First time through and I believe I had lucario and Blaziken lvl 100.

Earthquake. That was the big problem. Borrowed a pokemon...then gardevoir was the problem.

I have a froakie now with its hidden ability :D
