F*ck off with that nonsense. The guy is disliked throughout this entire forum. If he wants to act like an asshole in here he's gonna get treated like one. If you think he ever has any interest in conversation you haven't read enough of his posts.

So your reasoning is "no one likes him, so let's make fun of him?" Is that what you're telling me?

Peanut · 10-14-2013, 02:35 PM

Lol for real? Go all white knight over a little sh*t like Cybercubed? If you're "above" this sh*t now cause you're all growed up, then f*ck off on your high horse and save your emotions for Jackie Chan. Nobody needs you here to impart your sad ass wisdom.

Maybe we can get back on topic and shift things away from arguments created by someone who hasn't touched the game and someone else who's offended by the Internet.

What's everyone rolling with right now/how far in are you? I'm interested to know if everyone has had the same experience of feeling like you're over-leveled for the majority of encounters.

愛 · 10-14-2013, 02:43 PM

What a shame. I guess I never had any friends here to begin with. It was only "misery loves company."

Wish you all the best.

*sdp* · 10-14-2013, 02:45 PM

I actually really like the designs of this gen, much better than Gen V. I'm glad it only has 70 new Pokemon I think that's enough counting the megaevolutions after all evolutions always counted as new Pokemon. If every gen has 150 like Gen V then we'll get to 2000 PKMN in no time. I'm also glad by the lack of legendaries, it was already too many in Gen III and they actually did more in Gen IV..Gen V wasn't as bad but it was still too many.

As far as rendering the 3D Models, they've been doing that for years, that's what Pokedex 3D and 3D pro were for, they already made them and even charged us for them.

As far as the 3D yes, the frame rate with 3D on is beyond terrible, but counting they're basically exclusive games for Nintendo and their console is called the 3DS, then yeah I'm disappointed in having no 3D, hope the next version has it whether it's a remake or "Z".

I love the game though, I'm glad they went with celshaded look for the 3D, I was afraid they wouldn't but it fits Pokemon perfectly, I never understood why other 3D games didn't use cel shading. I love wonder trading and battling online, it's so easy here unlike the other games. I also love that the trainer actually resembles me after customizing it, sure you don't control everything but this is the first time I don't name my character his actual name but mine instead. The game has plenty of small flaws but overall this is an amazing Pokemon game and what we have all wanted for a long time, hope the small flaws get ironed out over the gen with other releases and can't wait to see how the franchise moves forward in Gen VII.

Frogadier, Charmeleon, Snorlax, Butterfree, Pangoro and Tyrunt for me ATM.

Same experience with feeling over-leveled constantly.

*Katie* · 10-14-2013, 04:08 PM

I've got panpour, pikachu, amaura, quilladin, an eevee, and fletchinder.

And an alternate team of sylveon, furfrou, floette, skiddo, pancham, and meowstic.

I'm also leveled way higher than seems normal for where I am in the game. I destroyed the second gym with only one of my team. I think it's the exp all that's doing it.

*Drose18* · 10-14-2013, 04:30 PM

Are there only three new legendary pokemon? Also this game is way to easy I was ten levels over the elite four and champion of this game.

*Cure* · 10-14-2013, 05:49 PM

I've got Delphox, Pangoro, Doublade, Venusaur, Swanna, and Dedenne.

I also feel a bit overpowered, but I can't be too angry because the EXP share can be turned off. Now I know if I ever wanna replay the game.

*Allio* · 10-14-2013, 09:01 PM

my team as of right now

Frogaider, Ivysaur, Combusken, Pikachu, Kirlia, Pidgeotto

Not overpowered...grinding my Pokemon and capturing wild pokemon

Peanut · 10-14-2013, 10:15 PM

Grinding is entirely unnecessary. In fact, I think it's the first 7 or so hours of the game where I played it like I normally play Pokemon games, grinding out levels in the grass to balance my team levels and catching every Pokemon I see, that pushed me over the edge. I've got 3 of my 6 Pokemon pushing 70, two are pushing 60, one is mid 50's and I only have 7 badges.

My team right now, which I've had a hard time settling on, consists of Chesnaught, Talonflame, Barbaracle, Meowstic, Goodra and Exploud. Exploud was a late addition that I've been leveling because he's an old favourite, but he may have worked his way into my lineup permanently just because he looks so cool in this game. I typically run with 3-4 Pokemon and swap the last two spots around randomly, but there's so much choice in this game I've had a hard time choosing and my only two mainstays since the beginning have been Chesnaught and Talonflame.

I'm not completely happy with my Meowstic, because she seems to have fallen off and become far less useful at higher levels and Exploud doesn't have sh*t for moves, but the rest are solid. I've been thinking about things I could do to switch up my team, because I have some serious type gaps, but I like all of them so much it's hard for me to give them up. I know Meowstic is my weak point, but I've had her for so much of the game and she was so useful at the mid-point I'd feel bad tossing her in the box.

Do you guys ever get attached to a Pokemon and not want to admit when they're sorta sh*tty?

*sdp* · 10-14-2013, 10:51 PM

Grinding is definitely unnecessary, my team is all nearly level 30 and I'm only beginning my way to the second Gym which I hear it's a long one. The fact that Exp Share is a little too rewarding and catching Pokemon now gives you experience points makes the game a little too easy. I'm loving Wondertrade and that's what I've been spending my time on and by catching stuff I keep getting experience points.

My current team is this, I don't like to use older Pokemon during my main quest, nothing against them.
Espurr
Pancham
Honedge
Vivilion
Fletchinder
Frogadier

thankfully I don't like to use Exp. All

Peanut · 10-15-2013, 08:57 AM

To be fair the game seems like it's more balanced towards exp all being on than to it being off. It seems like you'd require tons of tedious grinding without it, especially in the late game. And it doesn't seem like there are enough trainers and/or repeatable battles tha dish out enough exp to make that as easy as it has been in the past. That doesn't at all mean it's balanced to it being on though. I've consistently been 10-15 levels higher than every trainer I faced, which is a huge bummer. The only time I've faced slight adversity is when I'd try and take on higher level Pokemon with weaker ones I'm training.

Either way, off or on, it seems like its poorly balanced.

*Donatello19* · 10-15-2013, 01:51 PM

Ugh, I really wanna get this game. Comic Con really drained my wallet though...

*MikeandRaph87* · 10-15-2013, 03:11 PM

4 million copies strong. Poke'mon gaming is alive and prospoerous as ever.

I wonder how this stacks up so far with other generations initial releases?

Peanut · 10-15-2013, 06:02 PM

Huge numbers for the game. Not so sure how it relates to older gens, but it's way ahead of B&W2.

Anyways, I'm breeding Squirtles! Anyone need one?

I got a White version about 17 months ago and never got around to opening it...

I have a DS lite so I may not get to this version in...

The reason I am behind is my sibling never came through and got black so I could get two sets of fire and grass starters so we both have all three. Squirtle is my favorite and ever since always had the water starter as my captain.

*CyberCubed* · 10-16-2013, 01:22 AM

Ruby/Sapphire sold 16 million copies, while DP sold 17 million. Meanwhile Black/White were the lowest selling main series games.

Looking at the sales in the link, I have no idea why people thought Ruby/Sapphire didn't sell as well as the others. It was only 1 million behind DP, which is pretty damn close.

Black/White obviously suffered from being released at the tail-end of the DS lifespan, and they're the lowest selling main series games. I guess a lot of people skipped these and waited for XY.

Peanut · 10-16-2013, 08:10 AM

I beat the Pokemon League last night, so now I'm trying to figure out what kind of post game there is. Doesn't seem like much so far, which is disappointing.
