| I taught one of my Pokémon False Swipe on the spot to help catch it. First Ultra Ball. Ayup. (After Jay was killed on the first attempt by Moonblast... Details.) - Ending cut-scene spoilers:
What is Tierno doing there? Did he contribute? At all? To anything apart from my rage? And Sycamore's eyebrows are still creepy as heck.
AZ is kinda brilliant though.

| I was assuming I'd get one more break before the fight started so I actually wasn't prepared. But I got him with a thunder wave, a couple of quick attacks and then balls. Threw my last ultra ball, no luck, then a great ball. Bosh. Used him for one battle in which raichu would have been more help then stuck him in the box.
His name is Kevin. |

| I too have finally picked up my Badass Bird of Death and caught it on the first Ultra Ball. In hindsight I really should have used a Dusk Ball given Yveltal's nature and role, ah well. I'll make sure to grab Xerneas in a Premier Ball when I get X. So I guess this means I should start making my way to the final gym and the E4, yet strangely I'm feeling like taking some detours again to go Pokemon hunting.
Oh and since I've finished off the Team Flare stuff I'd also like to say the main villain was plain strange, his reasoning just didn't seem all that sound. |

| I really liked him. Much more human than the usual "take over the world JUST BECAUSE" villainous leaders. |

| - Legendary Pokemon Spoiler:
The battle music for the Mewtwo fight is amazing.
Also has anyone else found Moltres (or one of the other birds that I'm guessing are in this)? How am I supposed to catch it when it runs away instantly before you even get to attack or throw a ball?

| I barely heard it - Master Ball and that.  Its name's Matt Castle. As for the roaming monsters... here you go. Possibly the best conversation in the game: "Y'know, my Emolga really wants to shock your Dedenne." "...What?"

| Just past the 7th GYM, normally my starter would be silly high by now but due exp share everthing is about the same level which is good as I don't have anything under powered but nothing really good. Not even got my Charlizard yet but got a lvl 39 Raichu as my electric type from Japan but nothing is as good as my Sylveon. |

| Just pulled up at the Elite Four's gaff. Got a full team at level 62. I'd have finished the game by now but my battery died and my eyes hurt. Edit: Finished! Felt easier than any of the previous games. Or maybe I'm just getting better at them as I get older? - Spoiler:
I was sure As was gonna be the champion. I'd forgotten all about the actress. I was glad when he turned up at the end. Aaaaaaw, bless.

You may find Sylveon levelling up like there is no tomorrow now, which is due to the Amie |

| I was a little disappointed that mine didn't learn any fairy type attacks until I taught it the TM I got from the gym |

| Mine didn't evolve until level 39 and only knows Dazzling Gleam and Charm, so only one offensive isn't helpful |

| Dazzling Gleam is doing the job at the moment so I'm not too fussed just would like one more offensive move.
I've kept bite on mine to help with the psychic Pokemon and swift for those damn hordes |

Human perhaps, however his reasoning should have placed him in favour of saving nobody and more on the path of mass genocide of the entire plane of reality like Cyrus. The world as a whole will always have conflict and suffering, it will always be a contest of the strongest living life better than the weaker, and his line of thinking would lead him even further than where he ended up. His ideals over what was effectively his Noah's Arc were also flawed by making it full of nothing but thugs, when he should have been pursuing saving people like the lead and his friends, those who demonstrate the positive side of humanity.
Or maybe I'm just thinking too much about this. |

| Almost certainly. - Response:
And it seemed like it was more "anyone who wants to be saved can be saved" than just thugs, although the prohibitively high entry fee counts against that idea.

| Hmmm. My approach to Pokémon games has always been to catch all the monsters in an area before moving on and it's proving tricky here. There are so many on routes that I'm making tiny amounts of progress at a time (still need that female Combee, f'r example). I have made it to Lumiose City, though. It looks pretty swish but I hear is deadly for save data, so I'm keeping clear. Anyway, I might need to change my playing approach because I've yet to feel the joy for it.  |

| Have you come across the post-game quest in Lumiose yet, Busk? I'm having trouble finding it. |
