Well, it's time for my X and Y stuff!
I'm very happy you can have a name with more than 10 characters long. SnivyTrainer fits just barely now. I chose my starter after meeting my new rivals, and my starter was Froakie! I'm playing Y by the way. I named him Kermit, and he looks badass. I also like how at level 5 the starts have their STAB move, unlike prior generations where it was level 6-10. Anyway, Kermit has a Mild Nature. Not bad. Shauna picked Fennekin, and Serena picked Chespin. I beat Shauna's Fennekin and went and delivered the letter.
Team so far:
Kermit the Mild Froakie, Level 12 (Pound, Growl, Bubble)
I was taught once again how to catch a Pokémon (this time by Serena) and then was given 10 Poke Balls. With one of these I caught a Fletchling, which I named Phoenix. She has a Bashful nature. I levelled my team to level 8, and got to Santalune Forest, where I met up with my rivals. I got through the forest, and challenged the first gym. Viola was easy. Froakie took down Surskit with a combination of Lick and Quick Attack, and Fletchling beat Vivillion with Peck. I took my gym badge, got TM Infestation, and left the gym. I went up to Luminose City, where Kermit evolved into Frogadier! Now it's even more badass. I got to the cool new Luminose City, and battled the Professor, who gave me a Charmander I won't be using. Kalos only team. I got to Route 5, where I beat Tierno with Frogadier, and caught 2 new members- Herbivore the Docile Skiddo and Panda the Relaxed Pancham! I also evolved Phoenix into Fletchinder. I trained my team extensively (love the Exp. Share mechanics) and got to Camphrier Town. Here I got TM Thief, and visited the Castle, and headed to Parfum Palace to get the Poke Flute. Turns out I could've caught my 5th member, Knight the Quirky Honedge! But I didn't, and caught Knight later on. I got the Poke Flute, beat up the Snorlax (after my romantic fireworks display with Shauna) and then caught Knight. Finally all my team bar Knight were level 20. Me and Serena won the double battle against Tierno and Trevor, and saved.
Team at this point:
Kermit the Mild Frogadier, level 20 (Pound, Quick Attack, Water Pulse, Lick)
Phoenix the Fletchinder, level 20 (Peck, Tackle, Ember, Quick Attack)
Herbivore the Docile Skiddo, level 20 (Leech Seed, Growth, Return, Razor Leaf)
Panda the Relaxed Pancham, level 20 (Arm Thrust, Slash, Karate Chop, Work Up)
Knight the Quirky Honedge, level 18 (Swords Dance, Pursuit, Tackle, Fury Cutter)
From there I went through the Zubat Roost cave thing, and got to Route 8. I caught an Absol as a Cut user, and to evolve my Pancham nearer to the time. I got lost briefly, but found my way to Ambrette Town, and then to Glittering Cave, where I beat Team Flare and got the Sail Fossil. I won't be using Amaura though. I then went all the way to Cyllage City, where Honedge finally pulled it's weight with an improved moveset, and swept Grant (well, almost. Herbivore had to come in to finish off Tyrunt). I uprgraded my team's movesets before the battle, and that's the point in the game I'm in.
How do you get the icons? I can't seem to find them.
