X was a Gamefly rental, I bought Y. The only major differences are the Pokémon you catch, a few of the mega stones you find (completely optional feature), and... that's really it. They're basically the same game. Just choose the game which has better looking Pokémon to you.

Is the official guide better and more comprehensive than free online walkthroughs like GameFAQs?
I heard it's trash, which is par for the course. The real meat is in the Pokedux that'll be released a couple months from now.

So far yes, but I think more will be revealed in coming months.
Yeah, event stones are inevitable, and I'm sure we'll get new batches of megas in Z and the probable RSE remakes.
I just dont want any more stones exclusive to a version. It makes it excessively cumbersome to get both. ;(

Damn, that sounds bad
I guess I'll wait for a while until Keyblade's GameFAQS one is complete.StreetsAhead

So, it may not make a big difference, but has there been any discussion about the changes to old Pokemon's base stats? I'm interested to see if they will effect the meta game in any way.
The stat changes don't seem really important.
A +10 to stats that were mediocre, meh.

Fishing chains = shinies. Chains: Consecutively using the rod and entering battle while standing the same spot without "not a bite" or "it got away". Being on certain tiles or the suction caps ability increase chances of entering battle when fishing.
It should be noted some people got theirs after chains of about the 20s, others went well into the 100s...

The ones that have been released for PR should be in press kits.
Yeah, I saw those, but it's mostly the protagonists and Team Flare lackeys. I'm looking for the Swimmer, Backpacker, and the Furisode (?) Girl art mainly, but I want the rest too.

I think I would go insane out of boredom if I played the entire game with just my starter pokemon while sprinkling in some caught randoms every so often.
So is it confirmed that Pokeradar no longer chains into shinies? Or is this just in addition to that?

I must say, some of the online guides are quite good, for something that's free.
Gotta give us some links, man!

Those are some generous Wonder Traders. Congrats!
Not true. They at least had a regional dex in past guides. Anybody's who purchased past guides was of course not expecting a national dex in the first one.

Ok, the fishing thing definitely works. Staring at a shiny Octillery now at chain 50ish. It has 1 perfect IV as well.

It's still being updated obviously, but forthe purpose of going through the game only, it's pretty good for free: http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/696960-pokemon-y/faqs/68044
Critical capture just reduces the number of RNG shake checks, which gives you a much higher chance but still no guarantee.
Cool, never knew that. I caught it a few minutes after with an ultra ball. Is there going to be anything that I should use the Master ball on?
Pokemon has a storyline? Righttt.

Shinies that will otherwise screw you over. Exploders, Roar, Whirlwind...
It does, though it doesn't really matter in any game outside of Black and White.
Black and White Version 2 do their best to trivialize anything they did there, too.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Correct. I went Froakie and got Moltres. Not sure what the others cause. I want to guess Chespin would cause Zapdos.
This is the spoiler thread, no need for the spoiler tags.

Go to the battle mansion and fight a few matches. After that exit and go to the park in the north and you should see her.
It's French for cheese.
There's a whole episode of Dexter's Laboratory that would probably send you rolling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfHSIrVh_wY

So, remember that list from a while back, with a bunch of trademarked names?
Well, here's something interesting: In the GTS, you probably know that you can search for Pokemon by name - just go to "Seek Pokemon", click on "Pokemon you want", nd scroll to the bottom of the big list to "What Pokemon?".
On the screen "Pokemon you want to find?", note two things:
1. When you type something that's not an actual name of a Pokemon, the loading circle appears for a few seconds on the top screen.
2. When you type something that is a Pokemon's name, the loading circle doesn't appear and the screen closes out instantaneously.
With this in mind, enter the names Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa into the search. They also exit instantly. Thus, there is a very high chance that they must be unrevealed Pokemon, possibly ones held back for a future distribution.
And remember how three of those names never showed up in the game (those marked with question marks)?Dianshii (ディアンシー
Hariboogu (ハリボーグ
Gekogashira (ゲコガシラ
Borukenion (ボルケニオン
Dedenne (デデンネ
Horubii (ホルビー
Nyaonikusu (ニャオニクス
Burigaron (ブリガロン
Jigarude (ジガルデ
Mafokushii (マフォクシー
Fuupa (フーパ
Gekkouga (ゲッコウガ
Torimian (トリミアン
Teerunaa (テールナー

someone also said if you enter those names in all caps in the "looking for" field when you deposit it corrects the capitalization but it doesn't for non-existant pokemon... can't test right now though
