Topic: Pokemon Z

I actually enjoyed Lysandre's as a villain, but I wouldn't mind seeing more of Malva.

Ash Greninja is odd. 1. Wouldn't Ash and Pikachu's bond be closer (unless it's only a Kalos thing). 2. Does this apply to all Pokemon in Kalos?
3. Isn't Sylveon a maximum bond evee?

@Nintendo_Ninja: Based on the description, I would guess the whole form change is exclusive to Greninjas, and by the looks of it, it is quite rare.

Malva's story definitely could have been expanded more, and there's opportunity to do so in Z. I found myself asking questions after that bombshell was dropped, such as her significance to the organization (anything from an admin to a scientist, or maybe even something crazy like being related to Lysandre or something), why she wasn't booted from the Elite Four (this may have been explained, it's been many moons since I've played Y), and her motives for joining Team Flare.

Well, even before release, Greninja was created to be the cool Kalos Pokemon. So it's probably just to accentuate his status.

Plus, him and Ash/Satoshi actually do have a really strong bond.

Agreed fully.

Let's see how strong that bond is when Ash goes to another region and leaves him with Professor Oak forever.

I think the "once in a hundred years" or whatever thing is meant to reference the AZ floette.

But hey... If Pokemon Z is coming then at least we get to choose clothes again!!! Hahaha I loved doing that in X/Y. Changing appearance was amazing.

I think we can all agree that us guys need a bigger expansion on clothes.

Yeah, at least a few new different hats... Baseball caps and fedoras are not exactly varied enough.

Agreed 100%. At first I thought it was a "meh" mechanic, but really got into it...especially after telling myself that I would not have to put up with female avatar designs that I hated ever again.

Wait, has Ash even gotten Greninja yet? Of course, it's not really news that he was gonna have a Greninja anyways.

Do you still play X/Y??? We can Battle!!! Lol

I would offer to join you guys on X/Y, but after this happened today I think I'll pass...

You experienced bugs in X/Y?!?!

Who knew they existed amiright?

I just experienced this one randomly while breeding (I have better shiny luck on my X for some reason, I just ended a 4000 egg shiny drought in ORAS), when I went in the castle place my entire 3DS crashed. After I restarted it... I moved everything into bank as a precaution, tried again, and everything is fine now.... for now.

I restarted X a while ago (switched to AS as my "main base"). Replaying it made me realize just how dreadfully linear it is, even for pokemon standards

Also whoa huge pictures.

Also yeah, for some reason, my original X file (hey) was shiny galore, but the one and only shiny I've seen in AS is Cresselia, for which I soft resetted for ages (and the nature was terrible, figures).

XY is most definitely shiny galore, between Horde battles and the Friend Safari I've found waaaay more shinies than I ever have. Hell, I've had more trouble finding HAs than shinies in Hordes.
