FINALLY, I HAVE A SYLVEON. Only took until I got to the Frost Cavern and it hit level 50. >_>
Now that I've seen what fairy types can do thanks to the 6th gym and my Gardevoir, I'm really happy they were added. They're amazing! In fact they seem a little too powerful considering the types that do work on them are some of the most scarce types in the games (though I may not have seen all the types that work on them yet, I've only just begun experimenting).
Also, new Hex Girl sprite is hilarious.
 
I dunno, poison types are pretty common as secondary types for grass Pokemon. Shouldn't be too hard to get one.
 
Well, I beat the game earlier today. Here's the team that schooled the whole league.

Greninja looks badass, I shoulda chose that. Also you used a Mawile, which automatically makes you awesome.

Shellgon (gonna get him into a salamence soon) (no name yet)
Golurk (Andre)
Clawitzer (Larry)
Delphox (S.Mars or "Smars" if you prefer)

Mawile has been my favorite and I just got it's mega stone awhile ago, after beating the game,
and holy shit I love it even more now.

Also, here are my Pokemon names.

Greninja = Strider
Aggron = Doom
Butterfree = Malcolm X
Lucario = Dizzy
Talonflame = Sky
Mawile = Kuro

Mawile seriously got buffed into being one of my new favorite Pokemon. I already liked its design originally but now that it can actually hold its own in a real fight? Plus that awesome Mega Evolution? Worth the couple hours I spent trying to find it.
 
I tried Mawile for a bit but was really underwhelmed by it. The steel/fairy type was nice though. Fairy removes the fighting weakness from steel and steel removes the poison weakness from fairy. Mega Mawile can definitely dish out damage though.

As for my team, I've been sticking with

Vivillon
Pangoro
Sylveon
Talonflame
Aegislash
Greninja
 
Mawile actually statistically has the best defensive typing in the game, since it has only one weakness--ground--compared to 2 immunities and a whopping 9 resistances. The only other Pokemon with that typing is Klefki and, well, Klefki sucks. As long as you EV train Mawile with attack and defense it can become a real pain to deal with.

Unless you have a special attacker. Then Mawile's screwed. :P

Ground and Fire

can we all just agree Sylveon is OP and is amazing for it?

It's good because it's pretty bulky in terms of sp.def and has access to stuff like draining kiss to increase its longevity with its decently high sp.atk. The only downside is it really can't take any poison or steel attacks lol.
 
Oh. I thought fairies resisted fire for some reason. Derp.

Still, that's two weaknesses that aren't even 4x like some of the pseudo legendaries.

Am I doing it right?

So... My Braixen evolved into a Delphox...

She was so cute and friendly, even a bit tsundere-style when you pulled the fur on the side of her face...

Now she looks so distant and... cold, even if it is a fire pokémon.

I regret evolving her...

The most fierce fire is also the quietest.

Shut your mouth, Klefki is amazing. Prankster ability and the best move pool to abuse it in the game by far.
You want a fairy steel tank? Dual screens klefki. Set up appropriate screen, thunder wave, and foul play just to watch a Tyranitar kill himself. Way better than Mawile.
 
Here's a Pokemon that has been surprisingly useful: Flabebe/Floette/Florges. Has two very specific (read: no one really uses them) weaknesses, and can set up Wish, Aromatherapy (and I have a feeling it can have Baton Pass bred into it) and has decent special attack/defense.

But no Pokemon in the game has been more dominant and helpful in beating it than Honedge/Doublade/Aegislash. By far.

HELL YEAH!

C'MERE TAKE MIKAZUCHI

LET'S GO DELPHOX
 
I thought it was funny that if you pet your Aurorus on the ice crystals on its neck and head, your hand gets frozen. I wonder if you pet one of the Emotion Trio, you lose one of your human traits.

*pets Azelf*
"What, what was I doing again? Who am I? Aggggghhhhhhh...!"
 
Wouldn't that be Uxie? And that's only if it opens its eyes.

I think Mesprit is the one that responds to touch and that completely drains the person's emotions away.

Now THAT would be a sight to behold. "Aw, what a cute Mespr-what am I even doing right now."

Oh yeah, right. Forgot for a moment that Azelf is The Willpower Pokemon.
So I guess it would be more like:

"You know what, I'm just gonna go back home and go back to sleep. Who cares about being Champion or completing the Pokedex or saving the world. Bleh. I'm too bummed to go home, I'm just gonna sit here."
 
Petting a magmar seems dangerous... but it could get worse

AND THAT GODDAMN KIDDO DON'T WEAR RUBBER GLOVES WHEN PETTING PIKACHU?! DIDN'T TEAM ROCKED TAUGHT US ANYTHING?

Oh my God that last row of faces has me cracking up right now.

Now the real question is: when will the first YouTube video of someone petting Arceus be posted?

As soon as PokeBank comes out so we can transfer them.

Anyone watch the X and Y english dub on Cartoon Network? If not, I highly recommend it. It was really high quality, and unlike the games where Serena is just kinda boring, in this she's a snarky little spoiled asshat but in the most lovable way!
 
Good news: I encountered my second natural shiny ever, a Lairon!

Okay news: I already encountered one before, and I used a water tail (super effective) on it to get it to low health, but not enough to K.O. it.

Bad news: I realized the actual reason why the first one was still standing was because my Goodra's attack stat was crap.

Horrendous news: I K.O.'d it with one electric special attack.

Well I have 8 badges now, and I think I've pinpointed my biggest problem with Gen 6. The Gyms.
The designs are pretty cool, most on par with BW2 (which I believe has the best gym design in the series). So what's the problem? Well for one, they didn't bring back a different remix of the gym theme for each gym like in BW2, which helped to make the gyms more memorable by the end.
More importantly though, the gym leaders were pretty unmemorable. How many of you can remember all the gym leader's names off the top of your heads? Probably very few, cause very few actually left an impression. The ONLY gym leader with any build up to the fight was Korrina, who is IMO the best gym leader. She even continued to help you after you beat her. Every other gym leader was pretty much a blank face with little to no personality, very few of which you even saw before you actually battled them. Now that's okay for a few, as long as all the other NPC's talk about how tough they are(example:Drayden in BW2), but not the majority.
The other issue is of course the difficulty. The gym leaders are pretty pathetic, most of them I beat with 1 pokemon. In fact I cleared the entire 8th gym, including the leader, with just my Delphox without taking any damage aside from hail damage. That really shouldn't happen. Though that's less of a gym-specific problem since the entire game is too easy.
Anyway, I don't know about you guys, but this really bothers me, cause for me the gyms are the most important part of Pokemon games-they're the big battles I'm anticipating throughout the entire game! I'm not sure yet if I feel this is the worst set of gyms in any gen, but it's definitely pretty close to the bottom bunch...FIX IT IN Z, GAMEFREAK. PLS.
 
Gyms are terrible by design. They will not be fixed until they are scrapped. Unsolvable issue.

Also, Delphox is beyond garbage. Fennekin was cutiepie, Braixen too humanlike but at least cute, and that twigflick looked baller.
Delphox looks like a greasy hobo with a fox mask and too much ear hair. What were they thinking?

Sigh :/

Grass starter final Evo also looks a billion times better on this pic than the ingame 80's action figurine does.

Greninja is pretty balls, but the other two are just zzz~

I always thought Delphox was a priestess like you see in those old Japanese temples. it's literally sailor mars! ITS SAILOR MARS!
 
I personally really like Delphox's design. And gyms are always easy. They focus on a single type. All you need is one good move that's super effective on a Pokemon that's decently leveled. Then you can generally sweep through them with ease. But I do agree that the Gym Leaders felt very plain. I really wish we could see more of them and get to know them better. Same goes for the Elite 4. They really should give these important characters a lot more depth.
