Oh, ok. Yeah, I have no idea. They've all been handed to me by an NPC.

Did you intend on having two of the same species mega-evolving?

So what do you guys think: digital or cart?

I don't generally like to buy digital on game systems but it worked out well with Animal Crossing because I like having the 'pick up and play' available all the time without hogging the card slot.

I'm leaning digital for this game unless I see a killer deal on a physical copy.

digital

nickmitch · « **Reply #129 on:** October 17, 2013, 09:16:28 AM »

I went with digital. I've lost at least two Pokemon carts since Diamond, so I'm trying to not let that happen again.

Shaymin · « **Reply #130 on:** October 17, 2013, 10:24:27 PM »

Retail, with everything ELSE going digital. I want Pokemon to be the cart that's in my 3DS at all times.

I was going to go digital but I got caught up in the hype of a midnight launch. Pokemon Z and up it's going to be digital all the way.

Are you the black guy on Miiverse who draws all those pictures of your own creation?

Shaymin · « **Reply #132 on:** October 17, 2013, 11:06:50 PM »

Negative. For one thing, my Mii is as default as it gets.

No freakin wonder. Are you not Skyshaymin on miiverse? I either made friends with, or followed a skyshaymin assuming it was you. I kept thinking you were like 12 because of his miiverse posts but here you seemed like a sensible adult. On miiverse I would try to ask this Shaymin questions or talk to him about NWR and he will not respond to me. I don't blame him, but it now makes sense.

Shaymin · « **Reply #134 on:** October 18, 2013, 08:42:53 AM »

Yeah, my Miiverse name is Donald.

I may or may not have met the move deleter and then sent out four lv 15 magikarp on the wonder trade after making them forget the move tackle

Shaymin · « **Reply #136 on:** October 18, 2013, 09:43:29 PM »

I got something useful out of Kotaku (a Slowpoke) - a level 1 Fletchling with its hidden ability and Pokerus

nickmitch · « **Reply #137 on:** October 18, 2013, 10:10:26 PM »

Nice. My friend randomly found one with the Pokerus. I haven't been so lucky

Where do I go after I get the 6th badge in the snowy place?

To save the world.

I am really liking this gen. The new pokemon are engaging and I think it is the best set of starters since gen 1.

Usually I gravitate to old gen 1/2 monsters but I have 3-4 new ones I am actively using on my team. I'm excited to get farther in the game.

So, now that the game has been out for a while, what do you guys think of the Fairy Type? Interesting? Sucky? Do you feel like it fits? Are you used to it yet?

Personally, I've had to go back to the type chart more than a few times.

Sarail · « **Reply #143 on:** October 31, 2013, 10:13:31 AM »

I'm a big fan of it. Spritzee/Aromatisse has become my lead tier one team starter. She kicks arse.

I always have to wonder why my Fairies don't ever seem as strong as the NPCs. That being said, I rolled through the Fairy Gym with a Raichu.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #145 on:** October 31, 2013, 11:26:33 AM »

I love the new type chart. Fairy is just as mystical as Dragon and I love that all the super cutesy Pokemon stand up so well to the big bad Dragons and Fighters. I'm just so glad Choice Band Outrage is going to mostly an after thought now.

nickmitch · « **Reply #146 on:** November 01, 2013, 09:25:26 PM »

I actually haven't trained a Fairy Type yet. The choices (in general) were overwhelming.

The game certainly does feel more balanced with them in there. Especially for poison types, who were only strong against grass types who were mostly also poison types.

Stratos · « **Reply #147 on:** November 02, 2013, 10:31:31 AM »

It is more balanced. And while I see the pacing issues, it is not bothering me that much. The pacing may be stop and go, but the game flows. I'm enjoying going through the game and just beating trainers and catching pokemon. I just beat the fifth gym.

I think one of the reasons for my enjoyment is that I'm actually using the Exp All. I always refused to use it in the past because it created 'weak monsters'. But it is helping to keep my team close together in level so I'm not stuck with one or two 'super' monsters and a bunch of winps. Plus I have less patience and time for level grinding so this is an easy alternative.

And I didn't know that mega evolutions changed the monster's type. Mega Charizard is a fire/dragon. I discovered this when I fought the electric gym leader and threw him out as a final shot and discovered he was not weak to electric attacks. I need to retool my team because two thirds of my team are weak to electric unless I lean on mega Charizard. Plus I need to add an electric type. Most of my teams struggle without an electric type. I'm probably too fond of dual-type monsters.

Currently I am using:

Scyther
Charizard
Greninja
Doublade
Hawlucha
Roserade

I was using Pancham instead of Hawlucha and may switch back to avoid the electric weakness.

I may switch out Roserade for an electric monster but I am undecided which. I have not come across many electric guys in game. Any suggestions?

Heliopitle/Heliolisk is pretty fast, hits hard and learns SURF.

nickmitch · « **Reply #149 on:** November 02, 2013, 11:23:46 PM »

The exp share is one of the best improvements in the game. It really helps keeping the pace without any drawbacks.
