Red’s playtime lied… He ended with like 35+ hours logged, but he said he’d been a trainer for 5 days by the time he got to Brock’s Gym. That’s 120+ hours right there…
You just reminded me of the Johto league match between Ash and Gary where Magmar used that full body fire blast + flamethrower to the face of Heracross, only to survive and take him out with Megahorn lulz.
Also I’m Ground/poison, don’t know how to react to that.
What battle tower/trainstation/BP gain system has surfaced, if any? It came pretty early in B2, even if you couldn’t access it for a bit.
There’s something called Battle Chateau that has you battle progressively stronger trainers for titles that unlock later tiers… I haven’t really explored it much but it becomes available before the second badge. Just from the name I assumed it was the Battle Tower/Subway equivalent but I’m still not sure.
Did you ever find out Diggersby’s type?
Not for certain but smart money would be on Normal/Ground.
Huh?? Apparently Hawlucha isn’t eligible for Sky Battles??
Klefki is the new Zubat. Uggggghhh
So are you thinking that these are the semi-version exclusive ones, where in one version one is encountered substantially less frequently than the other, and the ratio is flipped in the other game?
Yeah, pretty much. Had no trouble finding Pumpkaboos.
Someone asked earlier: Raichu has not been given Fairy-type.
New move: Trick-or-Treat: Adds Ghost-type to target.
Hey Kanpachi or one of the other runners, how linear would you say the game is? The Black and White games were pretty linear to the rest of the games in the series which gave you a bit more wiggle room for visiting towns in a different order or using different routes to get to places. Would you say it’s closer to Black/White or the earlier games in terms of linearity?
Closer to B/W.

How many pokémon have you managed to do that with so far? Does it seem limited to just a couple?
Just the two, it’s a route traversal thing.
Is there any precedent for Pokemon evolving when they gain a level in weather?
No. Did you have a Pokemon evolve in weather? If so, did you try evolving them out of said weather?
No but the game just gave me an indication that a certain Pokemon will evolve in rain.
Hey Kanpachi, have you come across Team Flare a lot?
Yeah they’re about as prevalent as any of the other antagonist Teams in the series. I’ve met all four of the Scientists.
Doublade’s at 55 and no evolution. Need trading partner!
Would you recommend Doublade as a good team member? I want to use one in Y, but I’ll skip it in favor of one of the other revealed ghost types if it’s not any good.
I will not speak of its competitive viability, but it’s been bringing the hurt well enough.
I get a lot of questions about gym loadouts, so here is the 7th gym before I forget:
Sigilyph, Slowking, Meowstic. Psychic Badge.
You seen any wild sigilyphs flying around? They’re one of my favorite pokemon, so it’d be cool to get one before December.
Yeah they pop up kinda early. Post second badge.
Starting to touch on the Xerneas/Yveltal origin legend. Don’t know what to make of it all just yet but I present this for consideration: http://i.imgur.com/uYSe1Kh.jpg
I’ll get to Yveltal shortly.

Hey Kanpachi I got an eviolite from a guy in Shalour city, if you’re still looking for one. He’s in the house next to the pokecenter.
Just noticed something adorable: your character crouches down to talk to small children.
Have you tried leveling up you goomy guy in rain recently?
Someone said it was Clauncher that applied to?
MOUNTAIN #9-11 is the Geodude line. Yes, it took this long. #40 and #41 are Barboach and Whiscash. #60 is Basculin. #74 and #75 are Trubbish and Garbodor. #91 and #92 are Sneasel and Weavile. #93-#95 is the Timburr line. #96 is Torkoal. #97 and #98 are Sandshrew and Sandslash. #102-#104 is the Tyranitar line. #105 is Heatmor. #106 is Durant. #141 is Druddigon.
Oh yeah, Oblivion Wing is Flying, Special, 80 Power 100 Accuracy. Restores HP by ‘over half’ of the damage dealt.
As you might imagine, Yveltal is a bitch to catch.
More on Oblivion Wing: The healing effect is not to be underestimated. If you hit someone of sufficient bulk you are getting back all your health, period.
Hope that Aegislash learns a dark type, or that one of the other ghosts has a fairy type move put into its learnset?
…I got nothing.
For what it’s worth, Aegislash does learn Night Slash!
…goddamnit how do you evolve this thing
Have you already tried trading to evolve it or is that not a possibility before the games are meant to be released. What I mean is the online services may not be available (servers not yet up). Hell it may even be one of those trade while holding X item situations. That or perhaps an entirely new method; who knows? It’s too bad there no way to find out how a Pokemon evolves in game. I’d appreciate a feature like that.
Just haven’t been able to coordinate anything with E3K or Sulphide.
Mountain Dex update: Spinarak and Ariados are #107-108
Gah. Level 65 and Sliggoo still hasn’t evolved. There are either a lot of evolution gimmicks or late bloomers this gen.
I was hoping to have its stats up before bed tonight but I’m just too sleepy to continue. Certainly someone else will have stepped up by tomorrow.
I found Origins ep 3 & 4 subbed. That shit was great. I can only hope Gold’s journey is a full anime. I really wanted to see some of the other moments in more detail. But this was likely to be so expensive
6v6 takes a long time. I haIv had battles last 1 hour and i know in pkmn battles that are on tounrny level they tend to force matches to end fast. love to play stall and control a match with a great strategy but like CoD many players love rush down tactics. Whatever happened to prep time?
