Getting Delibird and Farfetch'd in a random battle makes me want to just ragequit right out. I think all pokemon have their uses except for those two worthless piles of junk.

[Shakerag]

Thinking of getting back into this soul-sucking franchise.  I stopped at B2/W2 because I didn't get a 3DS until just recently.

1) I have practically no one to streetpass with, and even trips out to the mall are very hit and miss.  What features in X/Y and R/S are streetpass dependent? 

2) Are there legendary pokemon (primarily in X/Y) no longer available?  I was reluctant to try and get back into the series at an earlier point because I had missed some bullshit events and it took me for-fucking-ever to get an Arceus afterwards.  Now I have a complete set up through B/W, but if I have to endure another "hey, you bought this game and there's content in the cartridge, but because you missed an event you're shit out of luck for ever accessing it" I will lose it.

For the most part, you just find legendaries out in the world, kind of thing. Especially so in ORAS - there's a frankly ludicrous number of legendaries you can get in them, pretty much all of the ones that aren't in X/Y, although trading/having both games is required for a fair number of them.

I don't think there are any features in either of the Gen 6 games that absolutely require streetpassing specifically - rather, they can be utilized with people you passively connect to online, of which there are plenty from around the world.

There's a list of Event pokémon in Gen 6 so far. These are otherwise only obtainable in Gen 6 games by trading them up from prior generations, unfortunately.

So basically Diance is not available right now?  Any word on if there will be another event in the future?

Not that I know of, though to be fair I didn't know about the events of any of those except Celebi and Darkrai, so...

[Furtuka]

Hoopa should be coming up soon since the movie featuring it is on its way... Or was it out already? I forget.

[umiman]

Dunno. It's not very good, from what I've used on Showdown. Too slow to do anything and the typing sucks.

Have you used it in Unbound form? It's pretty brutal there.

[umiman]

Why wouldn't I have used it in unbound form lol... The regular form is even worse.

I'm surprised I haven't discovered this thread until now. _{at last, I am with my people.}

Guys

I have a confession to make

Spoiler: Big confession time (click to show/hide)

Highlight -->I never actually completed a pokemon game. Never completed the dex, never beat the E4.

I must go commit seppoku now.

[technicallyAdventurer]

never beat the E4.

I...

Okay, the dex is understandable, but...

Not even the Elite Four? Not even once?

[Greiger]

Don't worry just like how there must be pokemon masters in the world, there must be bug trainers that are really proud of their team of six lv 3 caterpie.

[Sirus]

Not even the Elite Four? Not even once?

Not even once. I keep losing steam partway through the journey, and then a new generation comes along, and :<

The only time I actually got TO the E4 was back in the Gen1 days, and that was by exclusively using Charizard and not bothering to grind up a full team. Since I was a dumb kid, the E4 kicked my ass each time.

[Nighthawk]

I can't really blame you for it, Sirus. The large part of the fun in Pokemon is finding the new stuff, namely, well... the Pokemon. By the time you start nearing the end, you already have your A-team of fully evolved badasses and you know at that point that there's not much more to do aside from watch numbers go up. Unless you want to go and evolve every single Pokemon you have in your PC, but that's more grind than fun.

I beat the Elite Four twice, once in FireRed and once in Pearl, but that was years back. Now, whenever I try out a new Pokemon game, I often get bored far before I get anywhere close to the end, so... I can relate.
