Pokemon X & Y (3DS)

2-4 player? Could you do 4 person double battles?

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2013-10-10 23:45

i think you could do that in b/w, maybe even as far back as the GBA games. remember, the GBA connector cable had that connector in the middle that let you play w/up to 4 people. and then they added the wireless adapter.

Mega Gengar still gives me feels. The nostalgia of using a link cable in elementary school to evolve a Haunter....

Was it ever said if you can transfer a mega evo from X into Y and it look the same?

**Serra** · 2013-10-11 00:25

According to Rocl, yes you can.

They haven't released Vensaur/Blastoise X/Y just the base version--though the leaked copy people say that the charizadite is clearly marked X/Y while the other two aren't. This means it's unlikely that they have alternate mega evos.

Of course, this could all be wrong and I've misread/misremembered.

I got to start playing tonight, but only for about 2 hours since I have to share the 3DS with my daughter until we get a second one ^^; Planning to get another 3DS tomorrow once our local store starts their DS trade-in program where they are taking old DS Lite or DSi systems for $30 credit towards a new 3DS or 3DS XL; doesn't matter if it's broken, which ours is.

One of the best things I'm liking so far is getting exp even when you catch a Pokemon, not only when you kill them. I also love the various patterns of the Vivillon moth/butterfly Pokemon; here's all the ones found so far: http://imgur.com/a/0Qt5N My own evolved into a Continental pattern, but the Gym leader was using a Meadow pattern one, so it's entirely possible that more than 1 pattern is available in each region.

spoiler for huge

Spoiler: show

England has had there copies released a day early so i'll be picking mine up soon

**Akiyama** · 2013-10-11 07:33

@MaachaQ : Wow, that's..so amazing O.O Can have some truly different looking pokes for once!

**Dominico** · 2013-10-11 08:33

More stuff from Serebii. Mega Pinsir, Bannette and Heracross.

**vrumpt** · 2013-10-11 08:40

Pinser is X is exclusive and Heracross is Y. So happy I'm getting Y. Mewtwo Ys god stats, Heracross, Tyranitar and Cloyster. Only issue is somehow acquiring Tyranite.

**Tyrath** · 2013-10-11 10:05

Pinsir and Heracross? Wheres the mega fucking Scyther?

Also sucks, I'd want Heracross over Pinsir >_<

**vrumpt** · 2013-10-11 10:17

I'm guessing theres also a Mega Machamp and Golem somewhere, just to complete the original 4 "trade to evolve" pokamanz.

Good deal, then. I was pretty much talking the whole enchilada from I -> V/VI there. Poor Charizard's gotten it harsh, while the other two starters found niches they didn't do badly in.

There's also rumours from leakers that Entry Hazards have been nerfed from 12.5% neutral dmg -> 10%. Though on the unconfirmed he said she said leak malarkey there's also that weather lasts 5 rounds base no matter how it's initiated (be it Sunny Day or Drought, shit is 5 turns and it's out; also you cannot refresh the duration by using Sunny Day again)

Exactly. Stealth Rock was what made weak-to-Rock a serious penalty in Gen V, and if it's nerfed, that might make a difference. One more day to get it proven one way or another, of course. And if weather IS turn-limited, you'd hope that items that extend the moves like Sunny Day would be given the same effect on abilities like Drought.

Anyone know if club nintendo is doing the pre-purchase survey things?

If Mega Gyr is like that, it gets a whole boatload of weaknesses and not much to gain, other than Electric going to x2 instead of x4. Including losing Fighting resistance for x2 damage instead. Poor thing.

Edit: Also, in notable news: The "big three" of Fire Blast/Blizzard/Thunder are now power 110, and Hidden Power drops to 60. Gonna be tougher using HP for coverage & the weather teams are a bit less bitey.
