I am the Champion of Kalos...

X style!

So after I done the two gyms, I forgot to update this, and blasted onto Victory Road. Which obviously I then had to go onto E4, and then the champion! Okay, so let's start with the final two gyms.

7th gym was.....yes, well I knew this gym was gonna be a strange one. Although I was happy that the level gap was getting closer. But it's was an easy type to beat. Loved the gym design, very different....and confusing.

8th Gym. Well, the gyms puzzle was interesting, and different. Although gym leader was a push over, levels were okay, but that type is just too easy to beat.

Before I go onto Victory Road, and E4. I've beat the Evil Team for this game. I kinda understand their plight for the story, although it all kinda seemed added the sad story on, would have prefer to hear it over the course of the game or something. And of course I had to catch the legendary for this game, but never used it in my team.

So Victory road was a very nice walk for a change, and I really liked it. I know some people think that Victory Road should be a challenge before the E4, I think the opposite. This was a nice walk with little struggle to get through.

The Pokemon League this time around was a fantastic building, really amazing. However very disappointed inside. The four members of the E4 was seriously boring. Not even full teams! Although, I did have to use a few different pokemon, and they have some marvelous names, Wikstrom, and Siebold!

Onto the Champion....didn't expect that person to be champ. And then...such a let down. Not tough at all. :/ Only used...two pokemon. And one was just a sacrifice to heal the other.

So now onto my team.
Blastoise Level 71 holding Blastoisinite, Gogoat Level 75, Malamar Level 75, Aegislash Level 76 holding Quick Claw, Delphox Level 76, Hawlucha Level 76

And thanks to my friend, Laura. She has send over all the starters from her games, and I've breed them so I now have all the starters. Plus the game took me. 9 days to complete, and 97 hours and 30 mins.

Anyway, with that being said and done. I'll now go back to talking about other general stuff on this channel.

So until next time....

Wow! Another post!

Well, yes. Because I have defeated two more gym leaders!

Firstly the 5th gym was very different to what I imaged it was going to be. Reminded me a bit of Blaines gym in the original game (Red/Blue). Which weirdly this game does a lot! Even Santalune Forest is an exact match for Viridian Forest in the Kanto Region! Also Blue is mentioned (although not by name, but it's Oak's Grandson, and he apparently said "Smell Ya Later"

Also, I've noticed the Hoenn has been mentioned a bit, as well as a man talking about Ruby and Sapphire! (3rd Gen remakes confirmed?)

Haunted house was a bit of a let down, expecting something much bigger out of it. :( However the pokemon on the outside has lead me to find a new favourite pokemon.....Goomy! Who's a Dragon, and looks so cute! But he's got such a poor defense stat. :(

And finally we get to the sixth gym, and wow....again. Reminding me a lot of the original games again, almost copy and paste of Sabrina's Gym (but obviously a different type). Again due to levels being high, didn't cause much of a problem in this gym, although the gap between me and them are closing. So maybe it's been intentional? I don't know.....also this gym has lead me to one of the weirdest pokemon to date.....a set of keys....I don't know.....I really don't. Apparently I should run into a wild set of keys soon.

So yeah, what will Goomy evolve into? Will the Next Gym be harder? Will the set of keys be a decent pokemon? Until next time.....

We're half way there!

We're not Livin' on a prayer tho, but you can still take my hand and we'll make it to be champion, I swear.

So update on X, I now have two more badges, both pretty easy to get. I think I'm extremely over leveled tho. Which is kinda nice, but at the same time it's being much of a challenge.

The cave before the 3rd gym tho. How awesome was that. I loved the reflective mirror walls idea. It was more of a psychic cave rather than lots of zubats, and geodudes. Speaking of 3rd gym, the what has rollerblades got to do with that type?

Tower of Mastery was interesting (based on Mont Saint Michel in France) I would have liked it to be it's own city, but happy with just the tower. Will probably not be using Mega Evolutions in regular story mode.

Some lovely person on PSS, sent me a Squirtle Egg via trade (not sure if it was a wondertrade, or regular trade), but I've hatched it, and I'm now offering it for trade if anyone wants it.)Monorail/train bit seemed a weird idea to get to the 4th gym city, seemed pretty weird in my opinion. Would have been nicer to see a train go from one side of the region to the other, making an alternate to fly, with possible trainer fights maybe?

4 Gym was a nice maze, did miss a few trainer before I got to the leader, so went back and took them on. Swapped Blastoise, for Fletchinder just for this gym, but still haven't got him to evolve.

Made it to the power plant, and sorted that all out, the desert before it was very interesting idea. However the wind is annoying, as are the wild pokemon, did get trapped in a corner at one point and was forced into five fights straight after each other. However still over powered, so I don't care.

Now back in Paris....I mean Lumiose City, and should be taking on the gym leader for there soon. Not sure what type as I thought I've already took on this type.

Wish me luck, until next time.

2 gyms down on my quest.

And the reason I've not been updating this.....Pokemon X is awesome....just really awesome. I'm playing it now as I'm writing this. So far on my journey....

I beat the first gym leader quite easy, which was very surprising, and hugely fortunately good for me. I was low on health as I went in there, hadn't saved for a while, and could figure out how to get back to the pokemon center once I had defeated a few of her lackeys!! But luckily having two fire types, and three flying types, and one poison type was a pretty good idea.

Then it's a pretty long time before you get to the next gym! I was very shocked at this. But very happy. You get a lot of new pokemon between the first and second gym, most notably one of my favourite new pokemon....which I done a post on earlier (well, his evo!) Yup, I got a Honedge, it rocks. I can't believe how powerful, and useful it is!

I do feel very unhappy. I choose Squirtle over Bulbasaur. :( I should have gone with Buddy, but Mega Blastoise just looks so much better than Mega Venusaur. :(

I choose the Jaw Fossil, plus what an amazing cave! Hint for any maze! The left hand rule!) Yet to use the fossil pokemon. It looks great tho, but don't know who to swap out! :(

Second gym was sadly very easy. Was very disappointed, however it was a nicely desgined gym. And it was a nice, little, 3D maze to get through. However it was good that I could escape out of it, but I didn't need too, as since it was a long time going from one gym to the next, I was way over leveled!

Now on the other side of Geosenge, and my team is currently

Pancham! (HM Cut, and Strength) Pretty good attacker. Trying to figure out how to evolve it, someone said I needed to have a Dark type on my team, but it's not working so far!
Malamar! I love this squid! Contrary is a great ability, and has kept her from harm! Hyposis is helpful for catching stuff!
Honedge! Great attacker, doesn't get hit by many wild pokemon. :D
Skiddo! He's a goat! He's staying! Leech Seed, Seed bomb, Bulldoze, not sure what else to have, but he's so awesome looking!
Wartortle! I needed a water type, and Mega Blastoise looks awesome.
Braixen! My starter, I'm sure it's soon to evolve.

So onwards to the third gym....hopefully! So until next time!..

I got it!! (Some spoilers)

X was started today. Fennekin is my starter.

First route was a big of a let down. Hardly seemed worth the effort to walk down.

The new battle style is amazing, looks so much better. Against trainers it's very dynamic, and seems to make them seem more important.

The first route where you can start catching pokemon is a gold mine of pokemon to catch. Pidgey and Fletchling (one of the new pokemon), Weedles, and Scatterbugs (another new one.), and Zigzagoon and Bunnelby (another new pokemon). Then straight into a forest, and there's another boat load of new pokemon. The three monkeys, Pansage, Panpour, and Pansear, plus Caterpie, and Pikachu (yuk! They made it say it's name!)

However, it's a gorgeous new world, trainers battle each other, and you get the running shoes right off the bat!

So far my team is
Bunnelby, Scatterbug, Fennekin, Zigzagoon, Kakuna, and Fletchling.

However I'm just about to take on the first gym! Wish me luck!

It's the final countdown! Do do dooO do!

 So I have had a wonderful email saying that yes, my Pokemon X and Pokemon Y games have been dispatched. I will hopefully playing them tomorrow!

 So this is the first time that the pokemon adventure will be taking place in a region called Kalos. Kalos is closely based on France, and at the centre of the region is a city which has an "Effiel Tower" like building at it's centre.

 At the moment we only know a handful of new pokemon (although, I'm sure the whole list is out, as the game has been unofficially released in some countries.) Out of the ones we do know about, the most important pokemon of all. Will be.... Who are you starting with!

 You'll always get the option to choose one of three pokemon. You can pick the Grass type, Chespin. Who looks like a cross between a gopher, and a chesnut. The Water Type, Froakie....who's a frog... or the Fire Type, Fennewin....I mean Fennekin. Who's a Fox, and will be my starter of choice!

 In past games I tend to favor Grass types, but Foxes are awesome.

 Usually I'd try and guess my team out before hand, but there is honestly so many good looking pokemon this time around with amazing type combinations like Steel/Ghost, Grass/Ghost, Fighting/Flying, Dark/Psychic, Rock/Dragon. To one's that look fantastic, but with nothing else special going for them. So I will be testing out pokemon as I go, and seeing what fits my game style.

 Other new stuff that is interesting this time around, is the new Fairy type pokemon. Which a few pokemon are reclassed too, and brings a whole new stone to the Rock, Paper, Scissors concept.

 And the introduction to the idea of Mega Pokemon, which is basically a battle use only evolution in which the pokemon will evolve mid-match, and then go back to normal afterwards.

 I will try and document some of my game here, and give updates in to what I think of the game, and how well I'm doing.

 So until next time....
