i hope they improve better the GTS this time, so we can get any Pokemon we are looking for.
NaomiMinette
They already made it to where even if we don't have a particular Pokémon registered in our Pokédex, we can still search for it as long as we get the name right. How else would they improve on it? Or are you just repeating old news again?
Ekaru
All they need to do now is make it so you can only request trades that are actually, you know... obtainable.
NaomiMinette
Oh yeah... though I doubt they'd do something about that since there ARE some seemingly-impossible-yet-legit trade options out there, like Lv. 1 Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina which you can get in HeartGold/SoulSilver. And then there's the fact that there will be future events...
Ekaru
Blaze, they do have a check for that but it's only applied to people trying to accept a trade. *That* is why all of those "Lv. 9 Reshiram" requests clog up the GTS - even if someone hacked the right Pokemon it won't go through the filter.

They could just have the same check for what people request and give you a "You can't request that" after it checks with the server.
Trash Boat
mm.... interesting. i cant wait for my Nintendo 2DS and Pokémon X as a birthday gift. however, whats its current value? both 2DS and Pokémon X/Y. even if they say 3DS XL is better, the 2DS come with its own Battery charger, something that 3DS XL didnt have.
NaomiMinette
I think the 2DS was going for $129.99, and Pokémon X/Y are going for $39.99. The guide (if you're getting that, too) is $19.99.

(All prices are in USD.)
Trash Boat
ok so the USD is actually $5,75, then the 2DS should be......$750. and Pokémon X/Y is... $230,52 and the guide(wait, which guide? there's a Pokémon X/Y guide?)is....$115,25.

(All prices have been converted into ARS currency)
NaomiMinette
...What well-known game DOESN'T have a guide...
Birdy
I had no goddamn idea guides cost a shitton of money nowadays.
Rorona
The internet should work fine after a day or so.
Of course, I mean excluding serious niches.

Off Topic: Is anyone planning to get a 2DS to play XY?
Trash Boat
i do Rorona, if luck is with me, i should get it the next day
heres some news: there's a Birthday Pokémon event distribution in Pokémon Centers in Japan. the players may receive 1 of 10 different Pokémon for its copy of Pokémon X/Y, only if that day is its Birthday. the link:

Yes, or a used 3DS. Not sure which is a better option aka cheaper.

They've always been pretty expensive. I remember buying guides for R/S, FR/LG and P/D until I realised Psypoke, Bulbapedia etc was a thing

I remember my FR/LG guide being around ~$30 CAD. It wasn't <$100. welp never mind they were always that expensive.

Used 3DS? The chance of having two thick, vertical scratches is extremely high. Go 2DS if you don't want to deal with that shit.

Pokémon X & Y - Bonuses

Ahead of the opening of the new Pokémon Global Link with the launch of Pokémon X & Y, they have announced a new feature of it. In Pokémon X & Y, you can earn Poké Miles within certain parts, currently unknown. PokéMiles are used in the PokéMileage Club in the PGL in order to pay to play attractions and receive items from the shop, which can then be sent back to X & Y. However, there is another way to earn them. It has been announced that your Dream Points will be converted to PokéMiles. These points are then sent to your new account if you register before January 14th 2014. If you register both games, then you will receive the points in each game so if you qualify for 500 PokéMiles, you'll get them in X and then get the same amount in Y. The conversion is as follows:
10,000–49,999 Dream Points = 500 PokéMiles
50,000–99,999 Dream Points = 3,000 PokéMiles
100,000–199,999 Dream Points = 10,000 PokéMiles
200,000 + Dream Points = 25,000 Poké Miles
The conversion is calculated by adding the Dream Points from all the games on your account. So if you have Black, White, Black 2 & White 2, they are all factored into the calculation. They also announced special Medals that are unlocked in the Pokémon Global Link if you also had Generation V games.
A Medal for Dream Points: 50,000, 100,000 or 200,000
A Medal for amount of purchased homes: 1, 4 or 8
A Medal for purchased items: 1, 25 or 50 items purchased
A Medal for purchased Pokémon Dolls: 1, 50 or 100 dolls purchased
A Medal for ranking in the top 100 in any GBU Season (except Season 10)
A Medal based on how many times you have ranked highly in WiFi Competitions
Reminder: The Gen V Global Link will close next week, with features closing graudally between then and January. As such, you'll be no longer able to put Pokémon to sleep so make sure you've got as much as you want from the Dream World
Hope you guys have been playing...
Trash Boat

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.
NaomiMinette
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.
Trash Boat
is it possible to complete the entire Pokédex, including all Legendaries?
izzydemon

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.)
