My reasons for the name were more like “You have failed this island, Team Skull!” If you get my meaning.

Nice crafty move.

I only reset once because I was just going for a nature that was at least decent. I named my Rowlet “Owliver”.

Yep. That’s been my primary tactic.

Don’t regret it just yet. I hear the New 3ds gets better performance in some areas of the game (less slowdown) but don’t quote me on that.

It’s hard to stun mine those two.

I didn’t encounter any witches till the museum. I snuck in through the window.

It is sorta weird that they ditched it, but I’m betting it’s because of performance. In XY and ORAS, the framerate would drop from roughly 30fps to 20 when 3D was activated.

Yeah, this is definitely my favorite change.

I will say that they make the introductions early on a lot more organic. Especially when you get your first Pokémon. But it is a bit slow, though.

As Patricia said, yes. You can also dye some of the at the online hub town thing.

Yes. There are darker skin tone options this time.

For those wondering, I’m on the 5th chapter. So far the most annoying part was taking out Kirin Jindoosh. Those mechanized soldiers are a pain in the ass. In an effort to be helpful, I’ll give a tip about that. If you can manage to sneak up to the second level of the lab where Jindoosh is, there is a ledge on the top…

Yeah. I’m going for a no kill ghost run. Quick save is your friend.

Yeah. That one miffed me. I’ll definitely trade a sandshew to one of my pals for one. Or something.

Yeah, I’m a bit of a night owl, so I’m going with Moon like your pal.

And remember kids, Wailords can technically breed with Skittys. It’s even a trope. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HotSkittyOnWailordAction

Exactly. As I ranted on Twitter, this was something that had coverage from actual news not just gaming sites. Like New York Times level coverage. Non-gamers were just as hyped for this as gamers.

As Patricia said, the ones since at least Gen 5 have been locked to non-shiny. However, they usually will distribute the shiny version later. They did that with Xerneas and Yvetal.

Yep. It’s goddamn ridiculous.
