Now that the 6th Gen PGL has closed down forever, here is a list of all the Medals I was never able to get in X/Y. I hope this is acceptable as a post in this thread since it isn't exactly "recent happenings".
And that's it regarding the Medals I wasn't able to get on these games. Overall, I preferred the Medal System in B2/W2, obtaining the Medals in the actual games themselves and them seeing them displayed on the PGL was better than both obtaining and seeing them on the PGL. I hope the series can go back to the B2/W2 Medal system in a future installment. If not in Sun/Moon, then maybe in Sun/Moon 2?though they should be named Love/Friendship instead. We'll see what the future gives us.
Not going to play X/Y anymore right now, but I will go back them the week before Sun/Moon are released in Europe as a part of my current project.
Super Rich - spend $10,000,000 at Poké Marts.
Too grindy for my tastes. I got the one for spending a million but never this one, there just wasn't any good reasons to spend much money in these games compared to B2/W2. Then it was not possible to see how much money you already had spent either (as far as I know, at least), while it was in B2/W2. I could have gotten it, but I didn't want to.
Extrovert - encounter 1,000,000 fellow players.
I guess you would need to be online literally all the time in order to get this? That's what it feels like, at least. I got the one for encountering 10000 other players but this was way too grindy for my liking.
10-Time Hall of Famer - enter the Hall of Fame 10 times.
50-Time Hall of Famer - enter the Hall of Fame 50 times.
Doable, but I dislike defeating the Elite Four over and over again for no good reason. This is not a good enough reason. In comparison, the Challenge Medals in B2/W2 was. I think I defeated the Elite Four for a total of four times on each game, then never again because I saw no reason for it.
Broad Friendship - Register 30 friends. (Y only)
Global Connection - register 100 friends.
Kind of doable, I suppose I could have combined getting them with trying to get all possible Pokemon that can be obtained in the Friend Safari, or by trading/battling with lots of people around the world and registering them on my systems. I just never got around to doing that since I didn't see the point in it. So this just more or less didn't happen.
All the medals involved in participating in Rating Battles. I never got around to participating in any Rating Battles on these games, and even if I did, I might not have been able to get any Medals since they actually take skill to get, a level of skill which I'm not sure if I have. Then I'm not that much into online battling either, just did 100 on each game to get the Medals for that.
I also never got the Medal for signing up for an online competition... because I never signed up to one, let alone participated in one. I guess I could have done it, but never felt like it and never really had time either as I was doing so many other things in the games, or being bored waiting for the "Z" that was never released.
Finally, I never got the majority of the remaining commemorative Medals either. Those were based on what you did in the 5th Gen Dream World, and I didn't really do everything there even if I played quite a lot when it existed, mostly back during the B/W days. I only got four of these Medals on X, and none on Y because I registered my game to the PGL after the way too short time window for getting these Medals had passed.
