Keep at least one freshly infected Pokemon in a box. Take it out for only brief periods to infect others, but don't let it out past midnight. Unless they changed the mechanic.

*What are the benefits of using Pokemon-Amie?*
EXP Boosts, increased changes of critical hits, Pokemon shrugging off status ailments... it's worth doing! Oh, and your Pokemon looks at you during battle!
WTF? That sounds creepy lol
Edit:
The Old Rood is before the second gym in the first seaside town.
I don't think I have reached the place where the God Rod is at though (just left the second gym).

Talk to the guy in front of the Magikarp statue on the first floor of the aquarium.

You must not be talking to every NPC. The Old Rod is the first Seaside town. The Good Rod is the area with the boats.

Question about Vivillion, guys. I changed my 3DS location yet i got the same Vivillion pattern. It seems that trick doesn't work or maybe I needed to catch my Scatterbugs after changing location, can anyone confirm if the pattern is set once the game has started?
Wuuuut? That's awesome!

So there's nothing more to it? Just go there and pick them up? I thought there was some time restriction to it or some sort of NPC that would hint where to find them...
Oh well. Thanks for the info.

Is there really an item that will change a Pokemon's ability? One of the NPCs in... one of the cities (I want to say Geosenge?) mentions one, but I haven't found it yet. I'd love something that could change my Litleo's ability from Unnerve to Rivalry, for example
Yeah, you buy it for 200BP from the Battle Maison after you've completed the game. It's in Kiloude City.

This is the 1st pokemon game I've played since blue. I've just been going through the story not really worrying about details, mainly because I didn't know anything about EVs, IVs and all that other stuff. Is there a point to obsessive min/maxing and have I screwed myself by not concerning myself with from the start? I've been using Greninja, Blaziken, and Venusaur as my main party and they're all around lvl 40.
Not if you're just in it for the story. If you want to dabble in it it's best to do it with fresh Pokemon after you've finished the game. You really need the right natures and EV training would be severely messed up by just defeating other trainers.
Don't worry unless you want to get really competitive. It only matters against other people. In game, you beat everything by being much smarter than the AI, and generally you'll be a little overleveled too.
Just a way to help you keep track of Pokemon. They literally do nothing outside of marking them. I usually use them to keep track of Pokemon after I check their IVs. (As in, write the IVs down, write down the mark beside it, and mark the Pokemon. That way I can keep them sorted out).

so where can I get an Eevee+Thunder Stone
It's actually in the Frost Cavern, tucked away in a basement.
How much faster does the game feel off of a good SD card (Class 10/UHS1) versus the cartridge?
Anyone tested that? Also that save bug does sound nasty, maybe I'll hold off until they fix it through an update or something...
Is the digital version a newer version of the game too, or is the software the exact same as the version on the cartridge?

Should put where to find the Evo stones in it.
So many people asking how to get the Dusk stone.
Unless you did. Then proceed to ignore this comment.

I've never really bothered with breeding in a Pokemon game before. What determines how long it takes for an egg to show up in the Daycare? Is it time based or step based?
Also, when looking for a good nature, are you supposed to look for a boost in a Pokemon's highest stat to play to their strengths? Or try and boost their lower stats to make a more well rounded Pokemon?

Anyone know if there's a guaranteed way for a route to rain? Need to evolve my Sliggoo and I've been to every place what feels like a dozen times and absolutely no rain whereas I've had it happen before.
Just get a pkm with rain dance and it rains everywhere you need it to. Swoosh.
If I recall correctly, it determines whether or not you have an egg each 255 steps. Ask the breeder outside the daycare to know if your Pokemon is compatible or not.

Well I put a Ditto in with an Eevee. Ditto are compatible with every Pokemon that is able to breed, right?
They still need to "like" each other, which is based on the natures. Just ask the guy in front of the daycare.

It needs to be natural rain.
The route you first find Goomy in (14?) seems to rain the most.
Kinda weird pkm move rain wouldnt work.
Whichever one is the female will give its unevolved form. In your case, Bidoof is a female, so you get Bidoof eggs. If you had a male Bidoof and a female Greninja, you'd get Froakie eggs.

On the scale of 1 to 10. How creepy can Pokemon Amie sessions with Gardevoir, Lopunny, Lucario and Zoroark can get?

"I wonder if Machamp-senpai will notice me today..."
Any answer to this? I don't even know what I would use more, checking moves or pressing A with my left hand.
That's not true. The guy said to me my pokemon cant stand each other. And they still made sweet love. Ditto puts out for everyone.

Natures. What's it all about?
Great thread, thank you very much, very informitive.
However I still have a question about the Exp. Share: So if I "feed" a Pokemon only through this and without fighting with it (training its attacks), does it then still be as trained as it would be through grinding?
In other words, does doing certain attacks train them or is it all only defined through the level up stats?

I think natures in the most simplest form is described as a 10% increase in one stat with a 10% decrease in another stat.
You can choose your avatar, I believe under profile on the right page of the PSS.
Raises one stat's growth by 10% and lowers another's by 10%. Useful for minmaxing. Also, some are neutral (raise and lower the same stat).
They actually become more trained over time, because out of experience a Pokémon also gains effort points which help their stats grow (same kind of points you get from Super Training). They receive the same amount of effort points as the Pokémon in battle, but half the experience, meaning that when they reach equal experience they will have double effort.
It's not based on nature, but species and original trainer. If the Pokémon are of the same species (including same evolved stage) and have different original trainers, they will multiply like rabbits. Different species caught by the same trainer have the lowest chance of reproducing.
The only one in my party that doesn't have full affection is Haxorus for this reason.
It's EV growth isn't determined through it's attacks, rather the pokemon it fights. The EV's are shared through expshare, so it's not too much of a worry.

thanks, looking at a chart now.
So if you like to play offensive, Modest, Mild and Quiet would be good natures e.g. ?
