Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

I knew about DPad but not the shield. :o
 
I new about the shield but not the Dpad :o :o

Also, my friend beat the e4 and now I've got access to protean Frogadier, it so redeems his Bibarel/Floatzel Friend Safari.
 
I don't really like that they gave Chesnaught and Greninja really good hidden abilities, but a really bad one for Delphox. But then again, Game Freak has had a history of screwing over the grass-types, so I think it's good that the fire-type is the worst one for once. Competitively, I mean.
 
Further investigation of Super Training mechanics have told me that you only need to press the L button to guard.

In other news, my original 6 Pokémon somehow became ridiculously over-levelled and I don't know why, and at least the first three gym leaders first time around are generally pushovers even without type advantages. It's like Pokémon X and Y was seriously neutered in terms of difficulty.

The Exp. Share also plays a factor in all of this, since now that it's a key item, every Pokemon in your party will receive experience points, regardless of whether or not they're in battle.
 
That's strange. But, yeah, the game was pretty easy even when I was underlevelled. I beat the game with Pokemon at level 60-61 with no problem, and the champion's highest Pokemon is level 68.
 
I honestly don't care if my Pokemon are overleveled or underleveled. I actually like it overleveled because it means less money and less time I have to spend when I'm battling Pokemon.

Honestly, I just play Pokemon to get as many of my favorites as possible and just make them and mold them to where I want them to be, which is at Lv. 100. Once I start getting them all at Level 100, it kind of is just like "meh, now let's wait for the next Pokemon game", or I restart the game (after I trade/transfer all my good Pokemon to another game for crappy ones I caught in the other game for this purpose alone).
 
In 11 (9 for Japan) days, Pokemon whose data was created a decade ago (Ruby + Saphire) will be in X and Y. You will literally have a pokemon in your posession who was caught or hatched a decade ago.

Am I the only one who finds this cool?
