Okay, so I have a question.

If you are defeated by a challenger who intends to take your throne as Champion, do they become Champion? It would make sense, as well as give you yet another reason to take on the Pokémon League again.

Pretty sure you just lose and nothing happens.

As a side note, I love that a random trainer from Route 1 is one of the challengers. What a hilarious little easter egg.

PSA: Nintendo completely ****ed up with trading. Finding a friend and adding them to your VIP list, so that you can trade with them normally, is absolutely impossible since it groups random online people.

2016 and Nintendo still doesn't know how to do online. P a t h e t i c.
Err... Friend codes?

Question: I'm only on the second island so far, but is there a good method for level grinding available before the Elite 4? Something like Le Wow in XY would be perfect (I haven't checked out the Battle Buffet yet so I'm not sure how efficient that'll be).

Can someone explain how the Slots thing work on Serebii's Pokéarth page, for example, it has different Pokemon listed under Slot 1, 2, etc?

Anyone in the UK had their copy ship early?

I have fears of getting my copy late with the Snow warnings for the next few days. I'd be absolutely gutted if it snows and the post can't be delivered.

I'm from the UK too, and I have been wondering the same. I got an e-mail from Game saying they were preparing on Friday, but no delivery notice yet.

Fingers crossed you get your ASAP!

I really appreciate how the trainers pokemon come in different balls. Like trainers sending out pokemon from Luxury, Nest or Bug Catching (?) balls is just one of those little things I find kinda neat that they would consider adding at all.

Anyone else feel like they're "gifting" away too many items in-game? I mean, I haven't gone crazy and caught everything I ran into, but I haven't had to buy any Pokeballs and I just finished the second trial.

No, I like it. All they give are poke/great balls and revives. The better stuff still can be bought.

I agree, it does feel like they give you everything you need. I didn't have to buy any items until I went to challenge the elite four.

Go by this guide.

BUT THIS DOESN'T HELP.

"If you want to battle your friends, you’ll want to pick Link Battle.

To make it easier to find your friends when using Link Battle, make sure to set them as VIPs in Festival Plaza. You can set people as VIP by talking to them in the plaza or paging them inside the castle. When you open up Link Trade, you’ll be able to go to the VIP list to select your friends easier."

IT DOES NOT TELL YOU HOW TO ACTUALLY FIND YOUR FRIENDS.

It is incredibly frustrating - in the plaza, it just has 30 or so random people who are online. You can only page people who are in the plaza, not specific friends, like my girlfriend who lives in France or my brother who lives in another city.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS?

Does anyone know how Passimian's ability works yet? Will Reciever activate in a single battle if your pokemon fainted then send it out?

Hey guys, I need some help regarding the Festival Plaza shops.

I'm at plaza level 5. I've tried many facilities and I get the same message: "we can't provide any more of that today. Please come again tomorrow".
I was never able to purchase anything spending FC (all the items in every shop appear with a "--", instead of their respective FC cost).
Any ideas?

Thanks so much in advance
