Too bad I'm not a fan of reddit.
Snepif
Well I'm not a fan either and the interface is kinda messy, but it's useful as hell if you need safari pokemon!

Pokémon X & Y - 2DS Bundles

Previously announced for Europe, it has been confirmed that the Pokémon X & Y 2DS bundles are also coming to North America. These bundles, released on December 6th, retail for $150 and come with Pokémon X or Pokémon Y pre-installed onto them. The Pokémon X bundle with the White/Red 2DS is exclusive to Target while the Pokémon Y bundle with the Black/Blue 3DS is exclusive to Toys 'R' Us. As with Europe, the actual 2DS hardware lacks any special aesthetic feature, and is just a standard 2DS with the game installed.
WHY IS X GOING WITH THE RED ONE AND Y GOING WITH THE BLUE ONE?!?!

Hmmm talking about 2DS, I don't use the 3D mode 90% of the time because my FPS drop quite a lot in the upper screen. Does this happen to you as well guys?
Azure_Kite
Yes, The Polycount for a lot of the models makes the GPU chug like nobody's business. Charizard X's Model among others are known to cause the Framerate to drop.

Try getting into a Hoard of Trevenant in Route 20. Your 3DS will slow down to about 5-6 fps.
Snepif
Yeah, hordes make them drop as well, let alone hordes + 3D mode, it would be madness.
Hopefully future pokémon games are better optimized? It's still hella fun without the 3D mode though.
Azure_Kite
3D mode is disabled for Hordes for exactly the fact that it would make the game soft-lock or run at <1fps.

if the fps rate drops seriously, then Nintendo overestimated a lot its own hardware
How the hell does Nintendo overestimates their hardware?
They just created the console at it's best of its time in terms of producing hardware in masses and for future generations for platformers to run on it smoothly- while Gamefreak actually tries to make the best out of it which they did with X & Y as it runs smoothly most of the time except of Lumiose at some parts and ofc, some other exceptions.

Actually, i agree to this and serve you this:

So basically; reduce the polycount, everyone will complain it's just half-assed made, increase it, people will complain about FPS issues.

At least we have some 3D going on in pokémon as they're having 30 mega-evolution models, 721 pokémon models with countless of genderchanging stuff... lots of morphing models and so forth... not to mention all the other stuff that's not a sprite, which is basically everything except the icons, some character portraits and probably the font itself too, this and a little bit more. (forgot most of some other things that are in 2D but nonetheless)

Oh wow, i'm ranting so much :'c

Anyways, the point here is actually, i'd rather take critcism on gameplay and story than hardware limitations when it comes to Nintendo in general- which is... X and Y are a little short ended with no post-game features but pokemon-amie and some other small mischiefs.
I could gladly remember the days of playing in the casino for 6 straight hours in moody weather, decorating the secret base to my hearts content at snowfall, let my pokemons attend in the pokeathlon or some beauty contest and tons of other post-game things when the snow melted away.
One notable thing i've really enjoyed the most though was the Battle Frontier from Emerald... damn, i've literally spent hundreds of hours playing the different areas over and over again as it was something different everytime.
It's just, X and Y doesn't have something yet (we don't know how or even if Gamefreak/Nintendo will handle bonus content for X/Y) that binds me fully to the game except of the better breeding options and a cute little feature to interact with your pokemon, but i still love the game nonetheless, even if it lags sometimes while riding the bike in Luminose City.
Snepif
The thing is, this is a completely new game, whereas the previous gens could focus on adding more post-game features since they were basically the same games, with a little different 2D stuff and different pokémon. This is a whole new thing, and taking that into account, I think they did a pretty nice job in terms of new modes, poke-amie, etc.
The one and only thing I don't like about this gen is the lack of poke-transfer from previous gens.. but looks like poké bank will fix that issue.

I was planning on doing something like that with a certain Pokémon in mind /surprise

The only problem: I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it AT Christmas (my time)...
mm201
Pinch berries are relatively easy to make (once you've got them) and would be nice to receive in a wonder trade. Christmas/holiday themed Pokemon (Stantler, Delibird, Snover, ...) could be a nice gimmick. Too bad Bank isn't out until a few days after >_<
Professor Prinny
Oh shoot. I've been doing something like that already since I was in a pretty generous mood after knowing breeding was easier. (Been making my wonder trade Pokémon hold Rare Candies). Although Christmas just gives me another reason to keep doing it and heck, I even have a spare Masterball to give away.

Late Christmas presents, it is. (Not like they'll probably know what Wonder Trade is right away or will actually have anything to offer unless they speedrun to the Day-care.)
Bestelle
Awh, I should have kept my second shiny Aipom for that special occasion. I'll just send out max affection eevees on Christmas. Man, that's going to take forever.
Speaking of that, do you only need it at two hearts or 5 for Sylveon?

It doesn't matter, if you trade over the pokemon it doesn't keep the affection, thus... will make your hard work go in vain.
Breed some Delibirds holding stuff instead and make some kids & adults who are new to X & Y happy :)

Also, Eevee evolves to Sylveon at two hearts.
Azure_Kite
Christmas wonder trading sounds like a brilliant idea :D

Also, About the FPS thing earlier, nobody was complaining, per se. It's just the reality of the situation of having many high-poly models on-screen at once.

Ah, I haven't tried anything with any amount of friendship, good to know. I'll try the delibird strat, but I also want to do things with Eevees and at least the Fire/Water/Elec evolutions. Maybe Froslass as well, got quite a few stones leftover.

Well not like it matters much since it's not like one of those triple-A games where FPS affects gameplay a lot.
Azure_Kite
Well, it does kinda ever so slightly affect gameplay when it's eating up inputs :P

It's a rare occurrence when that happens though, and input-devouring has only occurred when fighing those Horded Trevenant. I was moreso commenting on a hardware/technical limitations perspective more than a "this wrecks my fun" aspect. I'm not entirely sure why people are getting upset or defensive over what I said.

pls Pokemon, all I want is a shiny Eevee. All it gave me was another Loudred.

Shiny Eevee so cute ♥

gonna breed Eevees like mad and maybe I'll get a second one
Faust
Speaking of Eevee's, might anyone have a 4IV Adamant Eevee free for trade ?

I wanna have a Flareon so bad.
Shohei Ohtani
Wonder trade is the best thing in this game

I have five boxes full of Pokemon ready to be wonder traded
Jinxy
I have a bunch of eevees I think, with good IVs, but they're Timid.
Faust
Nuu. And oddly enough, I ran into a full Eeveelution team earlier.

Made a dumb mistake for my Zapdos to U-Turn towards the Slyveon instead of the Leafeon. (Because I thought it was a Psychic-type for a second too late)
Then the match just went down from there. ;_;

This time round of battles saw me losing a lot more than previous matches, but I gained a bit more insight and more introductions to other playing techniques.
Swift-Swim Kingdra is rather deadly, especially when it's partner is a Drizzle Politoed with tanky stats.
It was a nightmare to face.
Snepif
I hate how there is no way at all to play 6v6 at battlespot (or am I doing something wrong?)
It's a pain to look for trainers manually.

Also, rofl @ full Eeveelution trainer ^
Jinxy
I usually just change my profile to "Battle me" or something, and wait for others to challenge me.
Snepif
>open battlespot
>suddenly, random japanese guy challenges me to battle, i think it's battlespot and only pick 3 pokemon instead of 6
>beat his first 3 pokemon, think it's over, he has 3 more

Life is sad sometimes...
Faust
Goddamn.
Snepif
Oh my god Mega-Gyarados is so fun.
Stefan
Actually I just can wait for the Pokemon Bank to transfer my Pokemons from White2/Black. I guess I have done everything what I can:

- Complete the main story
- Complete the LeBelle (he is called Looker in english, doesn't he?) side quest
- Catching the Legendaries

What else to do?
LukaXD
Anyone wanna add me?? I just finished the game and I'm doing Post-Game stuff. I would greatly appreciate if someone added me and helped me find out what my friend safari type (and pokes) are.
Anyone that wants to add me, PM me or just reply to me~
Shohei Ohtani
@Luka: Add your info to the google doc and people will add you and stuff.

@Stefan: Wonder Trade. Wonder Trade Everything.

Also, I guess the 3DS thread and this thread had a bunch of discrepencies in Friend codes. (You should just use the one in this thread for that thread, lol :P. It's more complete and I don't think there's any from that thread that arent in this one.)
