Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

[CressAlbane]

Bought Pokémon X today; FC is 4854 - 6533 - 0743

[Twilight_Warrior]

Friend code is on the main 3DS menu, a little square, orange, happy face at the top of the touch screen.

[CressAlbane]

OK, I've added everyone on the second page. FC is 4854 - 6533 - 0743.

[Fusion]

Added you.

Also, I just caught another shiny. Graveler in Victory Road. I used a Master Ball as I know they love to use Explosion on me when I'm training there. They definitely improved the shiny rate.

[Twilight_Warrior]

Well with wonder trade, you've got all kinds of trainer IDs, and I thought the rate went up slightly, the more you had?

I found a shiny Bellsprout on in a horde on Route 14 while searching for rain to evolve Sligoo (I actually didn't end up finding rain until two days later, and of course NOW it's raining everywhere I go).

The Bellsprout has a +Atk nature and Chlorophyll so it could potentially have some use as a physical sun sweeper. Haven't checked out its IVs yet.

??? gets unlocked once you have reached the Friend Safari and appear online to your friends.

Reposting for the new page.

Also, Xavious, you have to get a picture of it when it becomes Victreebel. I've heard it actually got a bit of a color change from previous games. That's good though, the only thing it had back then was a blue mouth.

[Fusion]

So something was used on me online the other day. Something so annoying and broken that it caused me to spend about 6 hours getting one myself.

Look at it. LOOK AT IT!

[CressAlbane]

*feels dumb* Not really sure what that is; could you explain it?

[Fusion]

Vs Recorder video. You get it as soon as you beat the game.

For those without it, it's a video of my Klefki who is appropriately named Lockdown.

Just caught a shiny Dragonair on Route 21 whilst hunting for a normal Dragonair, perfect.

Ugh, I want a shiny Dragonair so much. I've gotten a shiny Druddigon and shiny Dragalge (and a shiny Illumise, but he's no dragon), but I can't get that Dragonair.

I was up at 5 am for some reason doing the fishing method to get a shiny Magikarp. The chain got to 25 and then I reeled in too slow. This method is easy for everyone but me.

Did you make sure to talk to the guys at the Fishing Shack first (and have them give you the Dive Balls)? Anecdotal only, but I was never able to ping success until after I triggered that.

[Fusion]

Yeah I did that earlier this week when I tried chaining Skrelp, he gave me the Dive Balls and everything. It's just my luck, I always get the random shinies but the second I start going for the actual methods, nothing shows up.

[Xavious]

I decided to try chain fishing, and got a shiny Basculin on my second cast. It's not all that interesting though, just a slightly different shade of green. But still, only a week and a half into Gen 6 and I already caught 2 shinies? Not bad.

[Twilight_Warrior]

Patch now available on the eShop. Fixes Lumiose save glitch.

[Fusion]

Also fixes the GTS crash bug if you were having it.

EDIT
Updated the list with Cress' third.

[CressAlbane]

Diggersby? Blegh. That's probably my least favorite Pokémon introduced in this generation.

Anyway, I'm looking to get some starters. Right now I'm going after Chespin. Is anyone up for a trade? I can offer any Kanto starter, one of the fossil Pokémon, or a Froakie/Fennekin.

EDIT: Trade completed; thanks DeathRow! I'm still interested in any Hoenn or Johto starters.

[Fusion]

You can't get the Johto->Unova starters until December, they have to be imported through Pokemon Bank.

I do wonder how they're going to give out the Unova Hidden Ability Starters, though. There are Contrary Serperior in the Battle Maison but there's no way for us to currently get them.
