Pokemon X/Y
 

A new Pokemon adventure is due this weekend.

Curious to see if anyone is going to pick it up, and if so which version X or Y?

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

Going to be downloading Y on the eshop at midnight.

Probably going to start with the Grass starter, although I have to say, I think the final evolution form of all the starters is really terrible.

I like how you get to choose a starter from the first generation as well. I may just roll with Bulbasaur as my primary grass pokemon instead of the new starter.

So going grass and grass?

I'm forgoing Froakie because I can get Squirtle early in the game... thinking may go fire.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

I always pick the grass starter. I can't wait to have another Bulbasaur. :)

I'm considering picking up Froakie just because I am getting Bulbasaur, but it feels wrong not to get the grass type.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

That's how I feel with not going with a water-starter, but I know gonna get Squirtle.. they shouldn't have told me! >.<

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

I'm a few generations behind! I just might start playing Pokémon Diamond.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

I would say skip Diamond and play either Black/White ( 1 or 2, doesn't matter) or HeartGold/SoulSilver. Both of those are pretty decent upgrades over Diamond/Pearl. Specifically, Black/White let you use TM's as many times as you want. HeartGold/SoulSilver has an amazing PC management system and you can have a pokemon follow you around on the screen. Not to mention the world is just huge and it has that nostalgia factor.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

Well, I mostly play the games to familiarize myself with new Pokémon. That rules out HeartSoul/GoldSilver. And I have Diamond on cartridge, while I'd have to 'find' Black/White. So I'm still leaning towards Diamond.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

HeartGold/SoulSilver isn't a direct port - it has pokemon from Diamond/Pearl in it.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

Ok, I caved in and bought Pokémon X!! :o

They had a deal where the 2nd Nintendo game came for half price. So I bought PKMN X and New Super Luigi U.

I won't start it yet, I want to finish some Zeldas first. :)

Did you switch names to respond to yourself?

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

Nah I reinstalled my PC and I forgot under which account I was posting lately. ;)

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

I have X. First new new Pokemon for me since Gold and Silver. I did get the remake games, though. Anyway, I dig.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

By the way, I'm thinking about trading my X for Y. I found out that X is selling MUCH better than Y. So if I want to trade, my chances will be higher if I picked Y.

Finally got my copy in

Picked chespin because knew would get a Squirtle pretty early in the game.. it still felt so dirty.. and considered resetting my game more than once..

So far really digging it
I really do love how they have lessened the impact of the grind greatly in this game.
-You get EXP for capturing wild Pokemon now too. So no more choice between capture and leveling up
-EXP Share makes a return as an ability you toggle on/off so don't need to worry about training specific Pokemon by having them come out first then switching out.

Really like that they just throw Pokemon at you.. like 3 hours in and I've gotten close to 30 Pokemon. New and old. Electric, fire, water, fairy, bug, flying, etc

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

Depends on if you are doing it locally or not. There's enough copies of each out there you'll be able to get the exclusive pokemon in each. I wouldn't worry about it.

Re: Pokemon X/Y
 

This thread is bugged, or at least for me. I see BaB and Vampyr replied to it, but when I go here, I don't see their posts.

Edit: That was weird, when I posted myself, I was finally able to go to page 2. Strange. :)

Anyway, one of these days I get to trade X for Y and I can finally start my adventure!
