Hey, so I borrowed my friend's 3DS and Pokemon X about last week or so, and beat the game in a week. Post-game content is rather lacking. :/
EXP Share is VERY useful and resolved my problem of being underleveled by the time I'm at the Elite 4, but at the same time it was broken cause it put me like 10 levels over. =P
I also REALLY, REALLY wish there were more move tutors, more specifically the Gen 5 B2/W2 Move Tutors because they were able to teach key moves like Foul Play, Heal Bell, the buffed Giga Drain and Drain Punch, etc.
I don't know how long I'll still get to borrow this, but I'd be up for some matches, even though I don't even have a full team of perfect Pokemon yet. =P
BTW my team was:
- Delphox (This is another one of the cases where I prefer the 2nd evolution design over the final one, but I still love the Fennekin line. I didn't want to go with the Froakie line for being so overrated, and the Chespin line doesn't appeal to me at all, plus there's another Grass/Fighting I love. :P)
- Sylveon (my other friend traded me a Shiny 6 IV Modest Eevee starting from Level 1, so this was kind of cheating LOL)
- Vaporeon (this one I caught from Route 10 )
- Breloom (my other friend traded me his Adamant 5 IV Breloom, didn't have Spore though but it was still great and kind of cheating again)
- Crobat (yes I like Zubat and its evolution line, come at me :P)
- [Mega] Venusaur. Didn't want to take the overused Charizard path and I have other Water Types I prefer over Blastoise.
I initially had Riolu/Lucario before getting Breloom, but the first one I caught (IIRC it's where you can try to access Victory Road early but can't due to not having all the badges? Don't remember which one) took forever to find and it ended up being a Quiet Riolu (-Speed, +SpA), and I didn't really have Special moves to work with. Then I actually got a decent Lucario from the 3rd Gym Leader, but my friend offered me a Breloom so I took that instead. =P
In the end though, I had an awesome experience with this game, and now to start breeding, even though I have no idea how long I can still borrow my friend's 3DS. :P
