When you beat the Elite Four, you’ll be in better shape to use multiple friend codes.

But even now – what’s your 3DS friend code?

I’m 2191-8930-6967 – you’ll need for anyone you trade or battle with to have yours, and you to have theirs.

Post your friend code, and I’ll add you. Mine’s already in the thread.

Your Friend Safari is Bug-type, with Volbeat and Paras available. I believe when you clear the E4 and beat the Champion, your FS will gain another species.

You’ll be able to explore the Friend Safaris for each friend you have registered (who also has you registered) once you have beaten the game and traveled to Kiloude City.

Wonder Trades and direct-between friends trades are obviously available now, but I wouldn’t hold out huge hope for getting amazing Pokemon via Wonder Trade.

I’ve been emulating older Pokemon games on my phone as a way to kill time on the subway commute. I’d forgotten how good/addicting they are, despite the childish premise. Better yet, I can play them with save states and fast forward, which helps make their previous flaws much more bearable.

Perhaps I should pick up a 3DS if X and Y are this good…

I’ve added you.  
I started a new game in X. A huge favor: can someone throw be a low level Skrelp? I’m trying to put together a team that I’ve never used before for the game (so Clauncher instead of Greninja) and I’ve never used a poison type before.

I don’t have anything of value yet, but I will owe you.

New game on the same DS? E.g., the same Friend Code?

Yeah, should be the same friend code. One game is a cartridge and the other was download.

Sorry for the delay – I have a Skrelp if you still need one.

Hit me up any time you see me online.

My son is collecting Vivillon forms – what’s your local Vivillon color?

I have beaten the Elite Four and the Champ on Pokemon X. Woohoo! I wonder what my Friend Safari has in it?

I’ll check, assuming you added my Friend Code – don’t recall now seeing your Safari.

In other news, you may address me as Duke Bricker X of the Battle Chateau. This place turns out to be a gold mine – almost literally. Armed with an Amulet Coin, you can generate a couple hundred thousand Pokedollars here in a few hours. And this, in turn, lets me buy Carbos, Protein, and other vitamins that allow me to cut SuperTraining times in half. (Carbos raises Speed by 10, but only up to 100. If you want a Speed stat of 252, you have to Super Train (or do the old-fashioned “Find an area with Starlys and slay them,” according to Bricker Jr).
