[XY Shinys]

I've actually heard that the rate decreased, so I dunno what's going on right now. I've been trying with the Pokeradar. Sadly, you can't use it in super tall grass (shiny honedge plz).

[XY Shinys]

So I've heard that the shiny rate in X and Y was changed, as well as tipping the NPCs increasing shiny rate. Anyone got confirmation on this?

Also, anyone caught a shiny Pokemon yet? I haven't.

Ever.

[Invent an item]

Bomb core:Increases Self-Destruct and Explosion power times 2 and they only reduce the holder's health to half

This is the most OP thing I've ever seen.

Basic Orb: Removes a Pokemon's weaknesses, but also removes resistances.

[What to do now (XY)]

Shiny Hunt.

I have been doing this with Pokeradar

H-have you eaten since you started playing?? Dear god...

The Looker is in an apartment in an alley near Magenta Plaza, the one that was previously empty save for the landlord who mentioned finding a renter from another region.

I can't remember, everything is Pokemon.

Thanks, by the way.

Some mega stones can be found between 8 and 9 pm, you'll see a little purple light flickering wherever they are hidden.

Pokemon Amie increases your relationship with yer pokemon, which can have some awesome effects, like self status recovery, refusing to be knocked out by lethal blows, non-stop crits, and more.

There's a post game event chain involving a certain character from the previous generation's post games. (the Looker).

The three legendary birds seem to be flying around as well, I met Zapdos once, but he fled before the turn even started.

There's also the small goals in the game, like beating some guys fishing streaks, finding certain TMs, quizzes, item hunts, pokemon hunts, etc. Then there's the BIG goal of "catching 'em all".

It would prolly be better on ya if you took the game a bit slower when ya played through it tho, keeps things fun longer, just my opinion tho.

There's another thread with Mega Stone locations if ya don't wanna hunt em down yerself and whatnot.

Pokemon-Amie sounds amazing and I'm going to do that.

I can't find Looker, but I remember him saying something to me through the holo caster.

I found Moltres twice, he fled both times; I think my friend said he goes to that cave on Azure Bay eventually.

I have almost every TM.

I've already started the Catch-em-All thing. I wish this game had the Habitat List...

Also, I've logged like 65 hours so far. Which Is why I haven't posted on the forums since I joined.

[What to do now (XY)]

So I beat the game in 2 days and for the past couple days I've just been kinda doing nothing on it besides logging hours. Repeating the elite four is repetitive, I've maxed my Pokemon in super training, I don't even know what pokemon-amie does, and the Battle Maison sucks and I wish the Frontier was back. What do I do now?

Also how do I get Mega Stones, I skipped over Sycamore's speech about upgrading my ring or whatever.

[Welcome to the Salty Spitoon, how tough are ya?]

[Introduction? Why do I have to name this I'm not good with names]

Thanks for the welcome, guys. Also biting is okay.

Is that weird

[Introduction? Why do I have to name this I'm not good with names]

Hey, I'm EggtasticTaco, my name is Joe, I go by Nova on most places, but you can call me what you want. I'm not very good with introductions, so I'll make this quick, if you wanna ask me about myself I'll answer most of the time. I usually don't go on forums much but since this one is poke-centric I'll make an exception.

I'm pretty much the most socially awkward person on earth when I'm not on the internet, so there's that.

In Reborn, I'm about to fight Kiki, and I'm not into the whole competitive battling thing, though my mind is open to change.

A couple things about me:

My favorite Pokemon is Torterra and will be until Dunsparce gets an evolution

My favorite color is green

I'm a glutton

I don't like poetry and I don't know why

I'm not good with introductions

I don't have many friends (see former)

I'm obsessed with organization and unilateral symmetry (see former)

Yeah. Hope to get along with you guys or whatever you say at this point.
