King of the Monsters
Just got a Ralts over wonder trade, it has its hidden ability Telepathy.. I think I may have just got a new double battle team member.

Telepathy is a fantastic ability, I run in White (and X when bank comes out) a Musharna with Telepathy and the move Helping Hand to boost the strength of Surf's and Earthquakes from its battle partner.
 

Regality

Digital King
Yet another hidden ability obtained from wonder trade.. A Fletchling with Gale Wings.
(For those that do not know, it gives priority to Flying-type moves)

Managed to catch most of the Megas but have yet to obtain most of their stones. EV Trained them all with great natures and IVs, whilst getting them to 50. Also found 2 shinies today, Corsola and Basculin. Soon I'll be hunting for a shiny Honedge and Phantump alongside getting my Rain Dance Team ready for online.

snivy trainer

Driving myself batty
After arriving in Santalunce City, I immediately went to the gym. There I found the Roller Skates person, who I battled and beat, and they gave me my own Roller Skates! I then proceeded to Route 22, and battled all the trainers there for experience. With that done, I challenged the gym, demolishing Bug types with Shaman's Ember. I then challenged Viola, the Gym Leader. Surskit vs Fennekin- Shaman hits it with Flame Charge and raises his Speed, Surskit uses Water Sport. 2 Scratches later and Surskit went down. Vivillion vs Fennekin. Shaman went on the offensive with Ember, but got smacked with Tackle and Infestation. By the time Water Sport wore off, Shaman was in Blaze range, and finished Vivillion with a powerful Ember! I claimed my prize money, and then Shaman started glowing! Before long I had a Braixen!

Viola's sister, Alexa, gave me and Exp. Share before I headed to Luminose City. This would be helpful later on in the game, and so I didn't turn it off. I battled little kids with Budew and Magikarp and the Gardeners with Corphish (why Corphish?) before I met the Professor's aides, who gave me the TM Return and showed me where to go to meet Professor Sycamore. I found him at his lab, and he challenged me to a battle. It took 3 Psybeams to beat each Kalos starter, and then I was offered one of the defeated. I chose Squirtle, because I had planned to use it anyway.

AquaCannon the Docile Squirtle ♂
Level 10
Tackle / Withdraw / Tail Whip / Water Gun​

I did a bit of raining with AquaCannon, and he soon evolved into a Wartortle! Before long we had reached Camphrier Town. I picked up the TM Thief, and i went to the Castle. Turned out Snorlax had arrived, and so me and Shauna decided to go to Parfum Palace to get the Poke Flute. But first we needed another team member. In the Grass of Route 6 was a Honedge, which we soon caught and added to our team. We named him Excaliber, after the sword.

Excaliber the Naive Honedge ♂
Level 11
Swords Dance / Tackle / Fury Cutter / Metal Sound​

I travelled through Parfum Palace and helped find the lost Furfrou. I also picked up the HM Cut. There were fireworks, and a romanic moment between Shauna and myself. Shame, I'm into Serena :p

From there we went and beat up Snorlax, who left off into the Mountains. Aw well. I met up with Tierno and Trevor, saw the Day Care and Battle Chateau or whatever it is, and me and Serena battled Tierno and Trevor and won. Go us! The Zubat Roost was quickly cleared, and I got the upgrade for the Pokedex. I followed the route round, training on the way, and finally reached the fossil town. I went and met some scientists, who went to Glittering Cave, and on Route 9 I met a Helioptile, who I caught. I named him Helios, because it's a cool name. It's pathetically weak.

Helios the Rash Helioptile ♂
Level 15
Charge / Thundershock / Mud Slap
/ Tail Whip​

Anyway, I cleared Team Flare from Glittering Cave, and got a Jaw Fossil. I haven't resurrected it yet. I then went and collected Heart Scales from the Luvdisc, and got 5 before going to Cyllage City. I bought some new clothes before challenging the gym.

After beating the gym trainers I challenged Grant. Honedge vs Amaura. Excaliber set up to +4 with Swords Dance, before taking down Amaura with Rock Smash. Honedge vs Tyrunt. I used Rock Smash again and then finished off the weakened dinosaur with Shadow Sneak. I then saved.

Isshu's got issues
Finally racked up enough style to go to the expensive clothing shop in Luminose City. Bought 380K worth of items and am currently trying to get more money so I can buy the remainder of the stuff.

I'd suggest the Battle Chateau and try to reach the Gold Writ of Invitation as soon as possible. As soon as I got that baby, I had no trouble hitting Oprah Money (more than 1M) in a day, and continue to keep getting lots of funds from that place with the writ; right now I'm never below 2M unless I use something REALLY expensive.

This is something that I need to do. I've just been doing Le Wow to gain cash in Lumoise City because I'm still trying to get maximum style to get the last Hatching o-power. I got the mega stone price to 50k so it shouldn't take me much longer now.

So long
I went to Victory Road. With eight badges in one hand and my team in the other, I was feeling victoryful. The guard checked to see if I had all badges, and when he saw that I had that, he challenged me to a battle! A very unexpected but pleasant surprise. I won, and I could enter Victory Road. Inside of it, I battled all trainers, picked up all items and captured Lickitung, Druddigon, Zweilous, Fearow, Hydreigon and Noibat. I had to go back outside once to get a Pokemon with Strength as that was necessary in order to get through all of the road. I also met Serena at one point, she challenged me to a battle and I won, but she had gotten stronger as usual. In the end, I made it through Victory Road and arrived at the Pokemon League, which I will challenge next.

Caught a Modest shiny Duosion in Friend Safari.

I'm definitely seeing why people think the shiny encounter rate has been raised.

Pokemon Coordinator
My breeding of a near-flawless (you can't breed six IVs down, only five, so even though both parents together have all six perfect, I will not be passing down special attack as it's the least useful) Speed Boost Baton Pass Torchic is almost complete. I only need to breed the two Speed Boost Torchic parents, who together have all the right IVs and Baton Pass, with a Destiny Knot to finish. One parent is Jolly and the other Adamant, so I only need to decide which nature to pass down. Any suggestions?

Also: I received a level 74 Delphox and a Florges with Pokerus over Wonder Trade! :)

So long
Entered the Pokemon League. The overall design was a bit overwhelming, but once I got over it, I understood what to do. The types of the E4 was Fire, Water, Steel and Dragon, quite cool, I don't think there has been a Water E4 before. I battled them, they weren't too hard to defeat but the Steel-type user Wikstrom gave me some unexpected trouble. After defeating them all, I could continue on with challenging the Champion. I didn't know who the Champion was, nor what type he/she would specialize in, if any at all. But I had to make the challenge. I'm not sure who I expected the Champion to be, but I'm quite happy it was the person it was. Also glad that it wasn't a specialist type user but someone who went for diversity. Had also not expected the strongest Pokemon to be Gardevoir, especially not with a mega evolution. I think this is the first time someone has used my least favorite Pokemon as their strongest, at least it gave me more of a reason to defeat it and its trainer.

I defeated the Champion, which got me into the Hall of Fame. Afterwards, there was a celebration at Lumiose to celebrate me and my four friends saving Kalos from Team Flare. There, I also met AZ again. He challenged me to a battle, asking what a trainer was. I defeated him, and afterwards, the truth was revealed at last. He was the King who built the ultimate weapon 3000 years ago, and now, his beloved Pokemon from back then came back to him. All turned out to be well in the end. The credits rolled, and I found myself back in my room in sweet Vaniville. My mother told me that Professor Sycamore wanted to meet me at the Lumiouse Station, so I'll be going there. I went outside and met Shauna again, she wanted to make a trade as proof of our friendship. She wanted to give me a Fennekin, unbelievably kind of her. I got it from her and gave her a random Pokemon in return. I went out to Route 18 to do one thing I ended up not being able to do, and there, I met a Moltres in the grass. But I couldn't battle it as it just ran away immediately. I am done playing today, but tomorrow, I'll go to Lumiose and meet the Professor.

Queen of Charizards!
I'm suprised everyone is finding shinies in their friend safaris....


in Y im currently searching for shinies. No luck yet. Is there a way to get them easily. And is running away from some pokemon a bad idea?

Anyway besides what im currently doing I also had awesome wonder trades from giving away many skrelps I hatched. Managed to get two torchics, one adamant, and one jolly. Shame they dont have speed boost, must be hard to pass that ability down

Here's hoping for me to get safari shinies. Currently hunting in a dragon safari that has gabite, shelgon, and sliggoo
