The next generation of Pokémon is finally here! All-new 3D graphics, new monsters, new evolutions, new online social features, and a brand-new adventure is all packed nicely and tightly in the latest entry in the mega-hit franchise. And what do you know, the critics seem to love it, too!

So, who all will be joining me in this latest (and apparently greatest) journey into the world of Pokémon? Will you be the very best? Like no one ever was?

Well, I have two Immunity Gligars. One is a neutral nature and the other is bold. I don't have a ditto with a good nature to breed with the female. What do I do?? Catching this thing is a huge pain in the ass. Do I keep trying to get a good natured Gligar or do I try getting a better nature Ditto? What a pain.

Also no Froakies or Frogadiers in my Friend Safari :(

Protean makes your Mon the type that you were last attacked by, yes? That basically just gives you super defense, yea?
06/16/14, 06:06
I believe it's different than another ability in that it changes your type to the type of move you just used. So if he uses Mat Block, his type becomes normal.
06/16/14, 07:24
Right, that's it, the move you just used? Yea, definitely a powerful ability. So you just wanna hunt for a Froakie w/ Protean? Could you breed one?
06/16/14, 08:21
I think the one that changes type upon being hit is Color Change. I think Kecleon is the only one with it? I could be wrong. I wonder if a Protean Greninja and a Color Change Kecleon would work, haha.

Protean is a hidden ability and can not be bred like normal abilities. I'd have to find a Protean Frogadier or Froakie (I think) in the Friend Safari, and then breed that to pass the hidden ability down to another Greninja. It's the same reason I've been having such a hard time getting Poison Heal Gliscor. He's only available in a horde, so I have to keep using Sweet Scent to find him, and then Toxic every Gligar until I find the one I'm looking for. So annoying!
06/16/14, 18:26
so because Lapras is able to be bred with charmander (somehow) I guess that l'm going to get to focus on him next. annoyingly though with Lapras running ice shard as a priority move I have to actually get it full perfect I.V.'s (whereas I was able to settle for 5 iv's on tyranitar and charizard.)

Oh and the E.V. spread I'm looking at for whenever I actually manage to get a perfect Lapras looks something like this:

68 SDef / 204 HP / 60 Def / 4 Atk / 172 SAtk
(EV spread and moveset came from here.

This is going to be really painful and annoying to pull off.

@PogueSquadron I believe I used poison gas to get my immunity gligar.

I eventually did get my immunity Gligar. His nature and all that probably wasn't ideal but it was better than nothing. I've since put Pokemon in the box though. I kind of just hit a point of diminishing returns with it. Too many other games to play.
07/30/14, 17:47
So I booted this up today...my first Pokemon game in over a decade. Huzzah!
09/10/14, 16:28
@ludist210

Huzzah indeed! Congrats! Are you looking to get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire?

I'm going to start putting some time into X again soon. I'm not sure why, but when the cooler weather starts to sweep in, I get in the mood to play some Pokémon. (or just about any handheld RPG)
09/15/14, 17:33
@GameDadGrant

Probably not...I got X for free when the promotion was going on in March. I'm enjoying it though (got my first badge, just picked up a Charmander).
09/15/14, 18:03
So something still bothers me...almost all of the Pokémon (except for Pikachu, to this point) still sound like they're from the Game Boy game. It's 2014 (well, the game was made last year) and the franchise is worth a crapton of money. Can't we get all of the anime voices in the game?
09/16/14, 16:35
@ludist210
I would much prefer the game noises. Never liked the anime noises, they sound tacky.
09/16/14, 16:54
@Pokefreak911

Old Game Boy sounds from 1996 aren't much better. Butterfree and Charmeleon sound exactly the same as they did when I was playing this game in high school.
09/16/14, 16:56
@ludist210

Nostalgia, dood! Some of the 'mons I don't mind having the Gameboy sounds. Parasect needs to make that bizarre rippling/chirping noise. Wouldn't "feel" right otherwise.

Also, those are what the monsters are supposed to sound like...the anime is different.

.... I dunno actually. Just guessing. Nintendo (and/or Game Freak) is lazy.
09/16/14, 20:09
If they ever force the anime voices I hope I have an option to either go back to the game sounds or make them go mute.
09/16/14, 20:52
I'd want the anime voices by a LONG Shot. And then sure, give people the option to turn them off. I know I'd be all over it.

KOFFINGGGG!

I don't quite get the distaste for the voices. To me they are very much a part of a Pokemon's personality.
09/17/14, 01:12   Edit:  09/17/14, 01:13
@pokepal148

I'm fine with them including both, but at this point, they sound very off-putting on hardware like the 3DS. X and Y made over 4 billion dollars (12+ million sales). I think they can afford a few of the Pokémon's voices.
09/17/14, 22:43
541 Pokemon caught, still going strong

@PogueSquadron the less I have to be reminded of the anime's existence the better.
09/25/14, 04:22
So with 632 of the blasted things around we have now reached the final stretch. Right now my chief concern is being able to deal with some legendary Pokemon I don't have atm. I'm missing Mew, Raikou, Entei, regice, Registeel, Deoxys, Regigigas, Manaphy, phione, Virizon, Tornadus, Thundarus, Landarus, Zekrom, Kyurem, Genesect, Victini, Meleoetta, and Keldeo.
