Gaming Pokemon X and Pokemon Y discussion/update thread

Fennekin has been shown to use a psychic type move i think.
So it wouldnt be too hard to believe
Of course it could be a like Ninetails, a plain fire type with the ability to use psychic moves

I find that hard to believe, though. We already have Vulpix and Ninetails, plain, fire, fox Pokemon (with access to Psychic abilities). I doubt they'd make Fennekin and its evolutions plain fire types.

Fire and Psychic seems like the most likely path then.
Well we at least know it defo wont be another Fire/Fighting

I'm still hoping for some unlockables after 5/10/50/100/29343895743857 Streetpass hits or something. Maybe some item per hit or something.

Well with the pokewalker you could earn pokemon from steps, perhaps with X and Y they could do the same but streetpass hits could act as variables.

i await the day to arrive as well, also did anyone else hear the news about pupitar having another evolution besides tyranitar?

That would be interesting, Tyranitar is really badass, if this is true,
I hope the othe pulpitar evo is as badass as Tyranitar.

Also, I hope it's another dual type, it's sad to take 4x damage to fighting moves(although I prefer a Rock/Dark than a Rock/Ground,
taking 4x damage of water and grass moves would be a pain in the neck).

That news is so old it came out around February with poorly made scans.

Anyone else excited for Pokemon Amie?

Anyone else excited for Pokemon Amie?

At first I wasn't too excited because I thought it was going to be one of those meaningless features. When I learned that it actually affects the game, I had to change my pants.

Can it level up your pokemon, or make theme evolve faster? If so, I need to buy new pants.

Make sure you have some spare pants with you.

Pokémon Amie Stats

Like previous secondary features, Pokémon Amie has a few ways to track the progress of your Pokémon. There are three stats, each measured by five icons to deterine how well they have been trained in that field:

• Friendliness: Determines how happy your Pokémon is with you
• Hunger: Determines how much Pofure your Pokémon needs
• Play: Determines how much your Pokémon has been played with

It's currently unclear on how much these stats affect the Pokémon and the various features of Pokémon Amie.

​

Effect In Battle

The unique feature with Pokémon Amie is that after you have utilised the feature, you will come to see various effects in battle. These features range from superficial to largely beneficial for the trainer which allows for greater strategy in battle. Most of them occur randomly, with the rate currently unclear. The effects known are as follows

• Text: The introduction message, and various statements throughout battle change in context
• Critical Hit Ratio: The ratio of Critical Hits is increased
• Evasion: The Pokémon's evasion is increased

The following may be attributed to Pokémon Amie based on the visual representation, but it still isn't clear

• Paralysis: The Pokémon has a chance of healing itself from paralysis
• Survival: The Pokémon has a chance of enduring a hit which would have knocked it out

We'll provide details on the various effects as they come

I don't think that's known, but it can do things like more critical hits in battle and stuff.

That's cool! And I found some pants.

So far it looks promising. Crit chance and evasion should be really popular for competitive battling.

You mean banned.

 

[porkiewpyne]

You mean banned.

Doubt it will be banned though. I mean breeding for (near)perfect IVs and EV training (or for some people, manipulating stats using PokeGen or the like to get desirable but within normal ranges) is allowed after all.

I just hope you don't have to use the PokéAmie feature (in other words, if you don't use it, your Pokemon won't listen to you anymore or something). While it does sound cool at first, I can imagine it becoming quite annoying to use with every Pokemon in your team...

I agree with that. If it stays optional, it'll be fine. Could get a bit tedious leveling up new Pokemon.

Smogon will for competitive play. Higher crit and evasion. That's a no go for them.

Pokemon Amie

College mates will walk past me petting my Blaziken and be like "what wrong wid this niggah"

"Bitch please, Blaze needs love and attention"

[signz]

Alrighty, looks like I'll be getting Pokemon X, while a buddy of mine will get Pokemon Y.
Not much longer now, guys!
