*English and Japanese both welcome here.* Because we had a thread in the old forums about this, I wanted to start a new one here too! Pokemon X and Y has been out for 8 days now. Let's use this thread to talk about the new game, trade friend codes, trade pokemon, and ask for help if we're stuck! Did you buy a copy? Which version? What language are you playing in? Which starters did you choose? Did you beat the game?If you love Pokemon X and Y, this is the thread for you!

I got the X version, because the deer legendary is so gorgeous― couldn't help it!I picked Fennekin and Squirtle as my starters, but I've been mainly using my lovely Blaziken and Xerneas. Blaziken is level 75 now, and most my pokemon are between levels 50-70. I have all the gym badges, and I'm trying to beat the elite four. IT'S REALLY HARD. Oh, and I selected English as my language because of nostalgia. I've been playing pokemon games in English since I was 5 years old. I'm planning on buying Pokemon Y, and starting over with Japanese as my language, but that won't be for a while. I wanted to experience the game in English first! (frown) Any advice for the elite four? (frown)

I'm so jealous of everyone who has Pokémon X or Y right now, I keep seeing stuff for it everywhere. Ugh, I'm waiting on mine in the post!
Anyway, I bought X, and I'm going to start playing in Japanese. I'm probably going to choose Fennekin as well (my sister insists on it actually as she chose Froakie and her friend chose Chespin).
For your Elite Four issues... Google is being very unhelpful, so no advice, sorry lol

I got the game two days ago! I'm in the first gym I'm trying to find Riolu. I bought a hat. There are many like it but it is mine.

Aww.. I miss this being bi-lingual. Can I still use Japanese in this part of the forum? I posted on the old forum on release day to warn everyone that if you play it in Japanese yu a) can't change the language back to your native language without deleting your game and starting again, and b) there isn't any furigana. It IS all low grade kanji however, so I haven't had much trouble reading it. I was just so worried because I'd told everyone it would be furigana (I think I thought this because screenshots of old games seemed to have furigana). I had to pick the stupid fox because despite me clearly in English AND Japanese, saying in the old forum that I was going to choose the grass type, I had to sleep off a night shift on release day. JP was at the doors when the store opened and started playing while I was sleeping. By the time I got up, he'd already chosen the grass type. EVERYONE wants the frog, necause he's a ninja, so that left me with the stupid weeaboo fox I'm not far through through. I've had a busy week (and an awesome weekend!). Did anyone see the first two episodes of the new new anime series when it aired? I'm not usually one for anime, but I think I'll be watching this one. It was the first time I really felt like I was following almost everything they were saying. I realise this is only because I play the card game in Japanese with JP, so use pokemon related words all the time, but it still made me feel super fluent (lets hope I can avoid regular anime and remember how crap my Japanese genuinely is ^^). If anyone did see it, what did you think? Seems like Satoshi has finally aged ever so slightly (well, he was 10 for HOW long? Haha). Why do you think that gym leader kid (the one with the glasses, I never pay attention to names) isn't telling Satoshi he's a gym leader? That really surprised me. I mean he.. wait this is spoilers.. do we have spoiler bars on this forum?

Thanks for checking Google for me though, Jade. Pokemon is really fun, you'll love it. Fennekin is pretty awesome, I like the mix of Fire and Psychic attacks, but I'm absolutely Blaziken biased! I've had a Blaziken in both Sapphire and Emerald, and it was the only pokemon that I ever really enjoyed the most! If you're getting a copy of the game from Japan, I don't think you can get one though. Torchic comes as a special gift to select regions, I think. (It comes as a code in the box.) My friend in Tokyo showed me the inside of her box, and she got Eevee in her code... which is a little sad, because you can catch Eevees in the wild. I already caught two. You'll have to let us know what's on your code! naitorii I found a Riolu on route 3, which is right of Santalune City. I found it after swimming and going down the waterfall, but I'm pretty sure that you can probably find some in the grass on the main trail. You get a free Lucario later in the game though! What are your starters and game version? EDIT: oh! I posted this without seeing your reply, Jembru! I'll type up a separate reply for youuu!

Jembru oh you can definitely use Japanese here! I put in a remark about that above the thread banner, because I wanted to stay true to the old thread! I'm planning on moving this thread to the Bilingual Forum if we get a lot of Japanese and English mix in here, but if we don't―please go ahead and make your own Pokemon thread in the Bilingual Forum! I'll support it! I saw bits and pieces (hehe) of the new anime, in English though. It was on TV here! I watched some of it, only because I wanted to hear the voice of Professor Sexy Pants (aka Professor Sycamore). Wasn't happy about Ash's companions though. I'm too used to seeing Brock and Misty (because they were the ones I've seen the most), and they acted much older and more mature. I really liked that! But it seems like all the characters are growing... younger, very much Benjamin-Button-esque. This time, it seems like we've got a toddler, and her slightly older brother. No thank you. I miss the original! Why didn't you restart the game after accidentally picking the stupid weeaboo fox?? (LOL) I personally think the ninja frog is very ugly! Weeaboo frog!

I was just so worried because I'd told everyone it would be furigana (I think I thought this because screenshots of old games seemed to have furigana). Maybe the old GameBoy games? Maybe there's furigana, but just rarely? Anyway, I know with the previous Japanese versions you could choose whether you wanted just hiragana or kanji as well. The lack of furigana isn't a surprise though.

I forgot to add this in the first post...A lot of stores worldwide offer unique, exclusive items with your game copy! I love looking on instagram to see what everyone got, and I've seen t-shirts that say "keep calm and catch 'em all!" I've seen little Pokemon Ball key-chains. And I've seen Xerneas and Yveltal mouse-pads from Japan! In my town, two stores were offering exclusives. Gamestop was offering a digital shiny pokemon code, but the store I ended up going to gave out Xerneas and Yveltal pins! So here's my exclusive!:Please share pictures of your exclusive items if you got one too! I want to see!!

I wasn't allowed the frog (no.. he's the 'otaku frog' because all the wannabe ninjas chose him! Which leaves the other pokemon to be the charisma-man armadillo and then we've offended every Japan-o-philic gaijin stereotype, lol). I actually really like him from the anime though. He was really cute! I'm too far through it now though, and the fox isn't terrible, it's just the girly choice. I'm pretty girly myself though, so I don't really mind.

"Charisma-man armadillo," "otaku frog" and the "stupid fox"... I hope you don't mind Jembru, but I'm going to be dubbing those names for the starters for the rest of my life! LOL! You mean Professor Sycamore is really cute, Ash or blonde toddler's brother? As much as I could see, Professor Sycamore is pretty cool but they didn't give him enough personality! I was expecting a charismatic hilariously pathetic flirt with a thick French accent, and I was looking forward to it too! Pokemon always has the overly flirtatious character (ie Brock)! Disappointed to the max! For now, this will always be the voice in my head when it comes to Professor Sycamore... Apologies in advance to anyone who gives this link a listen... ceeyunxttuz.tumblr.com/post/64640877132/xehanort

Aaanyway... I just wanted to say I was still talking about Keromashi. He's pretty cool in the anime!

But, if you're waiting for Christmas to get the game―maybe wait a month before asking, because then the internet probably will have information on all the different features in each version! Because up until now, no one knew about any of the differences (other than the legendaries). Orrrrr, maybe ask for the third Pokemon game that inevitably comes out, and makes everyone so angry because it's so much better than the first two! (You know... Sapphire and Ruby―Emerald. Diamond and Pearl―Platinum?)
