Just a heads up, new pokemon to be revealed in a few days. sounds like it's an evolved pokemon
Ekaru
Anyone who gets those 25K pokemiles - 50K if they buy both X and Y - deserve it.

I wish I could get both, especially since I'm so torn as to which one to get at the moment >_<

Regardless, I just hope I can still make it in time...

Are there any major differences between the two games, like in BW?
NaomiMinette
As far as I know, the differences are:

1) Each have their own Mega Mewtwo evolution; X's is taller and part-Fighting while Y's has an OP Sp. Atk. stat (and is only Psychic).
2) X's Legendary, Xerneas, is deer-like in appearance and is the new type--Fairy--while Y's Legendary, Yveltal, is a Dark/Flying bird. (A note: Fairy is super effective against Fighting, Dark, and Dragon; more info here.)

The only minor difference that I know of is other version exclusives, obviously.

My own thoughts, if anyone cares to read them
I'm torn as to which to get because I like Xerneas more, but I also like Mega Mewtwo Y...
Trash Boat
you could ask someone to trade a Mewtwo equipped with the Mewtwonite Y to your X Version. or buy both versions.

you still have time. buy a 2DS along with the game. 130 USD plus 40 USD. and Sylveon is so cute.

1) I don't have the money to buy both.
2) Even if I did, I wouldn't want to play both at the same time. I'd probably play the other months after they're released.
3) Who would wanna trade something so rare, especially since I'm guessing there's only one of said item?

^ This (dunno why I missed the question the first time...)

I more-or-less have an Eevee ready, but seeing as we don't even know Slyveon's moves yet...
Rorona
I actually need a gen 5 game before I can transfer anything, I think, because I lack one.

Didn't really want to buy BW or BW2. The transfer option probably requires you to finish the game first, and the game might give you an Eevee beforehand.
Does anyone know how much a used BW or BW2 will cost? (I mean unless it differs between countries)
NaomiMinette
Pretty sure the games will give us one (and that we'll be able to catch Mewtwo), but I don't want to have to breed/soft reset for a female Eevee with the Nature I want, especially with their horrible female ratio, when I already have one :P

A used B2/W2 probably goes for $30-35 USD since they're high value games (of course they'd be!). B/W would probably go for around that much as well, if not a bit cheaper.
Ekaru
20-ish used for Pokemon Black.

is it possible to complete the entire Pokédex, including all Legendaries?
izzydemon
inb4 x&y costs R$200 in brazil

the 3DS costs about R$700 so i kinda expect that

Chances say no.

Hopefully not, if Nintendo is a fair god, then you won't have to pay extra.

What are you referring to, specifically? If you mean JUST X/Y without any transferring, you won't be able to without the help of future events. Otherwise, have fun transferring from all the way back to Gen III games (or Gen IV, depending on which Pokémon were brought back).
Trash Boat
the ENTIRE pokedex, from Kanto to Kalos
NaomiMinette
I pretty much completed it on my White 2 (I just need two more Regis, but I don't feel like transferring the ones I have on my Gen III/IV games unless I can't find a Black 2 user with all the Keys in real life), so I can see it being possible.
Magnolia
ill do my normal start get my starter, find a second pokemon then store my starter :D
NaomiMinette
Seeing as Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter won't be available till December, we're stuck with what we have on X/Y till then.

Man, I breeded all these Eevee for nothing... (Yes, I didn't realize this till recently.)
bmin11
You get to play the game as fresh as it can be haha
NaomiMinette
I don't mind, but seeing as I already prepared certain Pokémon for Mega Evolutions... *sigh*

I guess the ones I get on X/Y will either be boxed or GTS'd once I get ahold of my Gen V Pokés.
Rorona
Is the only way to transfer from gen V to VI by the Bank and Transporter?
Topic Starter
deadbeat
not sure how i feel about this pokebank thing at the moment. just feels like a easy way for them to try make more money :(
and if pokebank/poke transporter is the only way to transfer from gen V to gen VI, then i'll be very disappointed with nintendo
Ekaru
As long as they keep the Japanese price of 500 yen a year for other territories - 5 USD, for example - then I'm fine with it. I need more space anyways.

I hope not. I wouldn't mind if they did another minigame thing to transfer six Pokémon at a time, even if it ends up having a day-cooldown restriction like the Gen IV games AND you needed another system (3DS/DS/etc.) to do it.

Agreed.

deserves nothing but a facepalm

also holy shit
bmin11
Though, I think $5 for annual fee is pretty negligible considering you are also getting a whole bunch of free space like Pokemon Box (GC).

Also, we may not even need to cheat anymore for competitive battle, since EV training seems to be pretty easy for X & Y, while also revealing the exact stats for it. Ofcourse, getting perfect IV for Hidden Power is going to be a pain, but I always thought that was too much of a privilege for SpA pokemons.

i am disappointed

izzydemon
inb4 doublade evolves into a spear called triplance or something of the sort
Trash Boat
looks like it will be the Deino-Zweilous-Hydreigon concept again(1 head, 2 heads and 3 heads).
Birdy
This is one of the Klink Pokémon that could have been left unmade.

Klinklang is an okay one, and either Honedge or Doublade could have been a cool one-off non-evolutionary Pokémon. But shit, why do they have to make unoriginal 3-step-evolutions?
Trash Boat
