Also disabling Exp. Share wouldn't make it one iota harder, since I just use my starter Pokemon to one-shot literally every Pokemon I've fought throughout the entire game so far (Going to the city after the Fairy Badge now.) so that wouldn't really make a difference except to make the game more grindy. I like that I don't have to spend time swapping out Pokemon just to level them. That was never very fun for me in previous titles.
That said, I nixed some redundancy in my party, had a Blazekin and a Charizard, ditched the Blazekin for now and replaced it with an Abra. Not sure if I'm gonna keep it or Sigilyph, but I really wanted to get an Allakazam, if I go for one, does it still need to be traded to evolve? If so, anyone here mind givin' me a hand with that when the time comes?
Also, has anyone figured out the REAL reason the battles chug so awfully in 3D yet? I played the Fire Emblem demo and that game has 10x more impressive battle scenes and they play at very fast framerates in 3D in much more complex scenes, X and Y is basically a low-res .jpg background that occasionally has some horribly 3-frame animated gif leaves blowing by and the second you hit that 3D switch the action slows to a crawl. And it makes no sense that it's because it "doubles," everything, because even with that being the case you can still fight up to 6 Pokemon on-screen at once in either a triple, rotation or horde battle with no slowdown in 2D, which is 2 more Pokemon than with 3D on (1v1 = 2 (x2 for 3D) = 4) so those must be some REALLY intense low-res .jpgs in the background.
Seriously, it makes no sense whatsoever. Is Game Freak just that inexperienced with 3D games?! |

@deathly_hallows If you hold L as you select a move, it'll go to its description, which is super useful. But still no in-combat Pokedex. So I literally have to keep two pages open so I can fucking figure out what the weakness chart is after finding out what two obscure-don't-match-their-character-design types a Pokemon is, assuming its goddamn name is in English or I recognize it! http://pokemondb.net/typeInvaluable for doing quick type matchups, just gotta Google the Pokemon first. The Pokedex should at LEAST show you the types, that's all I need to know. (For all my bitching I obviously really love the game, beat the Elite Four + Champion earlier, now to get a good online battle team built and hope I can memorize the flavor-of-the-month Pokemon some people use. Almost had a match where I won earlier! Some Japanese lady (or ladyish type) challenged me and it was a super close match, I came out strong and clobbered her team, but at one point I made an extremely poor choice (I used fly instead of psychic when I knew better, I thought she was gonna switch out) and it led to that Pokemon dying and she beat me with 1 Pokemon left... one that had both types weak against the one she killed. Arrgh! But it was super fun and then she watched my creepy PR video after, at least everyone's polite and tosses out a "nice" and an O-Power after battle!) |
