Reddit mentions of Pokémon X

Well, if you want to play a Pokemon game and learn more about it, you could always buy a 3DS or 2DS and pick up one of the newer games, but if you don't have the money, then you could always play a rom or watch a playthrough on YouTube.

Here's a couple pretty cheap listings for a console and all of the newer games (Gen 6) if you're intirested: 2DS

Pokemon X


Pokemon Y

Pokemon Omega Ruby

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire


But, like I said, if you're not interested in spending money, there's lots of free options to learn about Pokemon as well.


There's one more resource I'd like to link, here's the official Pokedex, so you can see and learn about every Pokemon, old and new: Pokedex

Can someone explain to me why the hell Nintendo games are so fucking expensive?

Discount price: $48

You save: $0.03

Discount price: $33.58

Discount price: $44

Other developers' games for the same platform are much much cheaper than Nintendo's own games. Why?

You could buy him a tin or two like these

Or be super awesome and buy him something like this but this box is really only worth it if he actually plays the TCG. If he just collects the cards, stick with these- booster packs.

And every kid needs a binder to put their cards in!

If your son does not know how to play the card game but would like to learn how to you could get him this.

Or you could be the best mom ever and get him a 2ds, 3ds or 3ds XL and a copy of pokemon X or Y!

Well, I feel like you're learning a lesson today, so I don't want to rub salt in the wound, but for an extra $6 you could get it used, and for an extra $7 you could get it new shipped:

fyi, i've played all the pokemon games except black/white, and i didn't find this game that much of an improvement. but it is pokemon lol

Highest Nintendo thing on my list!

For me, I'd like Super Smash Bros. on Wii please! I do have it for 64, but my N64 is extremely finnicky and sometimes just shuts off D:

Thanks for contest :)

I choose you Gardevoir!!!!

I actually have both X and Y on my list since I don't really know the difference between the two. I haven't owned a Pokemon game since the Red, Blue, and Yellow days and I'd love to be able to get back into them!

Or, come to think of it, a Toys R Us gift card could work too. I could pick it up on release day on my way out of work!

Gift yourself Pokemon X. It's what I would gift myself under the same circumstances!

swaggybananas

I choose you Gardevoir!!!!

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Pokemon Blue for Gameboy Color.

∩( ; ω ;)∩ You are a wonderful person.

I choose you Gardevoir!!!!

Had it on my list since June! lol

We all pooled money and sold the wii to get the hubs a 3ds for Fathers Day, but current finances are all being directed at the girl childs 13th birthday in 11 days so there is no Pokemon for us.

I choose you Gardevoir!!!!

I haven't gotten to play a pokemon game in a long time. :(

I choose you Gardevoir!!!!

Pokemon [X] (http://www.amazon.com/Pok%C3%A9mon-X-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B0053B5RGI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2ICCFYICS2YVQ&coliid=I35MG0U7IRK9RY) and thanks! this is the first pokemon game that i really want since gold and silver haha.

/u/Yokuo is awesome, kind, generous, and has awesome taste in stuff. She should totally come round and play Sam & Max with me one day ;) By the looks of things she also totally needs Pokemon too, as it looks like it is going to be fucking epic and all the cool kids will be playing it. And we all know how totally cool she is. That or Brothers Grimm! I didn't realise my parents selected which to read me when I was little and when I decided to look through it myself... I never released how macabre some of them were! It's full of win. And dead children. =/

I ain't birthed no babies! XD

Pokemon and video games in general make me so happy and help me destress. :)

I recommend trying the Game of Thrones series. Happy Birfday!!!!!

I agree with /u/Seamus9999. The most recent "generation" of Pokémon games are the most accessible they have ever been, and they are a great place for new players to start. You would be fine picking Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.

Pokémon X (currently $35.68)

Pokémon Y (currently $33.83)

Pokémon Omega Ruby (currently $39.99)

>By that logic, they should just suspend trading then. Ruins their bottom line. Force people to get all the games if they want all the Pokemon.

The whole trading between two versions thing started in order to boost their sales and improve popularity. Parents will likely only buy one version for their kids so then the kid will convince their friend to buy a copy too, and suddenly Nintendo has two sales instead of one.

>And it's funny you mention delaying migration while you're also someone who talked about not getting B2W2 and delayed getting it until an event.

Why is this funny to you? I bought B2W2 soon after release and not used from a bargain bin because of an event, which you claimed is something that gamefreak does despite not making them any money. Clearly they got an extra sale despite the content not being of as much interest to me. The content of ORAS does interest me greatly however, so I am willing to pay the premium of being an early adopter this time around. You are seeing contradictions where none exist.

>Additionally, having an updated XY incentivizes people who may have missed out on XY to get it along with ORAS if they didn't get it. Now, on the market, you have the clearly superior ORAS and the clearly inferior XY. You're not going to sell both of those. If you update XY, you have 2 equals on the market. ORAS and XY are both still $40. If both are $40, and both are equal, people are more likely gonna get maybe both. If both are $40 and XY is inferior? Less people gonna buy that and just get ORAS.

XY usually retails for around $35 now, and will likely drop to around $30 when the new games release. Even if it doesn't drop, the supposedly "inferior" version is still selling for less.

>And, think about it longterm. Why would people buy ORAS now? Makes more sense to wait for Z or X2Y2, where it'll have all of the XY Megas, all the ORAS megas, AND any new megas exclusive to Z or X2Y2. If GameFreak wants to go for a "we're not updating old games within a generation," gives people more reason to just wait for the final game in a generation.

There are certainly people who already do that. However, most of us are early adopters for each new generation, and early adopters have always had to pay a premium, regardless of what type of product they are buying. The same applies to renewable energy, computer architectures, electric cars, and so forth.

>No, who this affects is people who for one reason or another want their Pokemon in XY. Maybe they dislike Hoenn. Maybe they want to do Kalos content with specific Pokemon. Maybe they consider XY the main game and ORAS a side game. You think all the people giving feedback about the lack of a patch are all people who DON'T plan on getting ORAS?

Point taken. However this does not change the fact that gamefreak has clearly moved on from XY. GF is in no way a large company. Developing a patch of this scale would pull many programmers away from working on the next game which is without a doubt being developed already, costing them money and delaying next years release. Programming is not as simple as copying and pasting code. It takes a lot of effort to get things to play nice with each other.

>That's the stupidest excuse ever. You don't like the way something's done, you give feedback. You know what what's better than not supporting a business? GETTING THAT BUSINESS TO IMPROVE. The whole "leave if you don't like how it's being done" is such horseshit. Are you fine with the lack of a patch? Do you think it's better than having a patch? Because it seems like you are. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is so stupid.

No, it's not a terrible idea. Have you heard of boycotting? Boycotting is often used as a form of consumer activism. Plenty of people are boycotting ubisoft for releasing broken PC ports, just as plenty of people boycotted EA before they started getting their shit together with digital distribution. If you don't like how a company treats it's customers, limit your patronage towards them. GF is at the end of the day a company. They won't see the incentive for urgent change if you keep giving them money regardless of what they do.

>You know what else hurts the bottom line? Giving off the vibe that all your products will be obsolesced in a year. "Why buy XY? Now, not only does Z have the normal 3rd version improvements, it's ALSO going to have 20+ exclusive megas compared to the 1 or 2 exclusive legendary forms."

CoD seems to do pretty well using this exact formula and it doesn't appear to hurt their sales too much. I don't care much for CoD myself, but I can see that their business model is making them money. Also see my previous point about early adoption.

>How many of those phones didn't receive updates? The majority got slow updates and a single one. XY is getting NO updates. If they give it an update in the feature, then that's fine. People may be miffed that it's late, but it's an update. We're not getting any.

Mid 2012 was the when companies really started including updates with the majority of their lineups. It was roughly around when 4.0 ice cream sandwich was released to the public. Updates were still slow, but at least it was there. The article was written because that was new at the time. It essentially says "hey look, companies are updating phones across the board now instead of just for their flagship, but there is still a lot of room for improvement." Before that, there was really no precedent for this. When I bought an HTC Inspire 4G, it was because it was one of the few year old phones on the market that would be getting an update to 2.3 gingerbread, and I was too poor to buy a brand new newly released phone at the time. At that time, updates were a blessing, not something to be expected.

Orlando/Kissimmee :D

Probably a hotel or my great aunts!

I would likely take a 3DSXL to play Pokemon, Monster Hunter 3, and Animal Crossing New Leaf to keep me entertained while I'm not exploring haha. Or I'd take a skateboard to learn to skate with haha. There's some sweet parks around there.

Probably my dad or someone else I know.

Yay for paycheck bonuses :)

So...my game I've been hooked on lately is the bioshock series.Its turning into one of my favorites. I just finished the first one this morning on a homework break and am ready to move onto the second.
This is what Ive been saving for

Pokemon X

I want this and this


I need this


Thanks for the contest!!

1. I've always been a wild man. So I'd probablly wear something primal like this with this and some camo mesh underwear underneath.
   
   
2. My sexy bear feet
   
   
3. I'd start with something kind of primal yet sensual like Animal by Karen O and the kids, then I'd go in to guns and roses [welcome to the jungle] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWXRintPmGQ) and I'd finish with Ke$ha take it off
   
   
4. I'd totally go by Bare it all Grylls, One because Bear Grylls is sexy, two because hes a wild man like myself, and three because I'm a Bear about to go Bare.
   
   
5. I couldnt even fathom making $1000 in one night, but I'd get Pokemon X IMMEDIATELLY and then a Mac because my pc just isnt cutting it.

Thank you so much for this contest! I'm so excited for this game, but definitely can't afford it right now. > n <
