I don't really like them because they make it difficult to be precise. They are slippery, like roller skates. The biggest problem comes from the fact that you are stuck with them. I like using the circle pad, but I don't like the skates. I would've preferred to have an option to turn them off instead of being stuck using the D-pad.
I was thinking about this a few eeks ago actually, I would really love to see John collect all the Vivillion patterns. Although I guess the whole video would be "Trade a lot and hope for the best" but I'd still like to see it
Volcanolord's Channel I had a guide book way before I even got the game for some reason,even before I had a 3ds. Until that point I had a huge guide book for gen 5 but it also shown where Pokémon are in the previous ds games
Thank you for reminding me about how fun these games are. I think they needed a little more development time to make it better. This generation deserved a Pokemon Z, it could have done for Kalos what Platinum did for Sinnoh.
Agreed. Actually, looking at Gens 6 and 7, while I do love them for what they where they were lackluster in a sense. X and Y's story *really* needed to be fleshed out better and it would have been better than getting that slap in the face Zygarde side quest in S/M and US/UM. That's one thing that has bothered me since completing US/UM. For me, seeing Sina and Dexio show up in Alola along with the Zygarde plot was bizarre and random. Like they where trying to appease pissed off fans, yet it should have been its own game in Kalos.
Well, I spotted two things I wanna add: 1. You get the starter weak to yours after you beat the game as a trade from Shauna. So you don't need to start a-new. 2. Best places to grind in my opinion are the two and three star Cafés in Luminose. You can choose Rotation Battle and just sweep with a high leveled mon, while all of your team gets exp, the two others upfront even full. Other then that, Battle Chateau once you got to the Audino trainers.
Now, as i see this its so sad that Kalos didnt got its Special Version with new Content & Improvements. It was a good Gen & Region, just was lacking of content. And its even more sad, that they didnt implemented the euro tunnel in Gen 8, to visit kalos for a short trip.
When it comes to third games specifically, the fan base is never truly happy. Back when there were always 3rd games, people would complain about them being glorified DLC for the price of a full game. When they cut the third game and put all content into the main two, people complained that there wasn't a third version with more content, and now that they've replaced the third version with actual DLC full of only new content, people are still complaining that there's no third version. ....Although the Sword and Shield DLC sucks so I don't know why they want MORE from that gen.
6:45. Ok I know literally 0 people are going to believe me since I have no clout in the speedrun community at all, but I actually came up with that strat! Eekcast who was speedrunning Pokemon X/Y pretty religiously at the time is a friend of mine from back when we were at school. While I was watching his runs I noticed that it could be a potential strategy, so after he reset a run, I asked if he could try it. He tried it and made a HUGE timesave, then later went on to tell other runners about it who ended up implementing it in their runs. It's so cool to hear the strat talked about by a popular TH-camr that I follow!
@@agata6337 It is, but he's supposed to avoid it if possible isn't? Actually he ended up breeding anyway and you're forcibly sent back to your houwe so there was nothing stopping him from doing the in game trade. I only said this since he was saying he 'no other choice'.
Pokemon X & Y were my favorite games after Gen 1 and before Gen 8, I had the most time playing with them and loved the concept of Mega Evolution. But to my bitter end, my Pokemon X got stolen. :'( Perhaps I'll buy the games again someday. I have much nostalgic memories with it.
i have almost the exact same experience. gen 6 was my first, and i spent hours in it just having so much fun, then i lost X:( i ended up buying Y and playing through that, which i still have
Hey Johnstone! im sorry to tell you this after you've done it, but you should've feed your eevee higher "level" poke-puffs! you get them in the harder difficulties of the minigames! then you pet it in it's favorite spot! if executed correctly, it's very fast!
My favorite starter in x and y was chespin. It's a unique looking one. Plus I like it that in this generation the fighting type was given to the grass instead of the fire type like the past 3 generations.
3:53 I never knew anyone disliked the skates in Gen 6. They always just seemed like a decent stop-gap until you can get the bike, andthe freedom of movement was so nice that I actually missed it when I played Omega Ruby. I don't remember the circle-pad being that bad, either. Is that really just me?
I had no idea people didn't like the roller blades in x and y, I never had any problem with it, saying "the circle pad which is hard to control" confused me the most tho because it like... just wasn't. Its not like it just wasn't hard for me its like really simple making me wonder if there's something I'm not getting here because there's no way using the circle pad itself is hard
It's actually one of the easier ones since when Pokémon level up past the level they evolve, they gain more exp. and coupled with Amie, it can be done in no time.
This was my first Pokémon game so I don’t dislike it as much as everyone else but it brings me joy whenever I see people make content about it. I just wish that it’s layout for everything was smoother. It all feels small compared to the other games. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT CONTENT YOURE ONE OF THE BEST POKÉTUBERS! I love your vibe, how you’re so chill compared to most but still very funny too
My favorite Kalos starter is actually fennekin because I love that it gets psychic typing and I like the witch-like design of delphox (although braixen is my favorite of the line)
Dude I flippin love the froakie line, but does anyone else wish there was a champion simulator where you could build your team from another game and see how they'd do against a champion from another region?
When I first played Pokémon X I didn’t even realize that Lysandre was the villain. Like it’s super obvious in hindsight but I just didn’t clue in to the fact that he’s very clearly evil. And it’s not even that I was surprised when he turned out to be the villain. I remember kinda just going “oh ok” and moving on when it was revealed.
It's too late for John, but to those who want to try it, here is the (slightly) easier way for pokemon amie. The only key is the fancier the macaroon, the more affection is built when eating. Do your best game in amie (I prefer the berry one) to get the fancier macaroons. Feeding one of the highest level (fancy whip cream and has a topping, like cinnamon stick) pretty much gets you 1 heart immediately, 2 more and some petting should get 2 hearts without much trouble. Don't feed your evee before the mini games, it will just waste time.
I didn't even know Zygarde was available in X and Y. For some reason I thought you couldn't get it until Sun and Moon since that is the first game I saw it in. I (along with a lot others) assumed we would get a Z version, so I assumed that is why it was added into Sun and Moon instead.
Yeah i found Zyguard completely by accident i just went back to the cave just to see why the NPC blocked me from it i had beaten the game like 3 months before this and was just wondering around looking for Noibat when i remembered the NPC that wouldn't let me in the cave
Fennekin is probs my fave Kalos starter simply because it is based on my favorite animal, a fennec fox. On top of that, in RPG games, I really like mages, and it just so happens that its evolution line is in fact based on mages. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, and keep doing what you're doing, John!
I know it would require a pretty complex setup, but it would be amazing if we could actually see which Pokemon you already caught and which one are still remaining, maybe a list of Pokemon with their sprite on the left instead of the "Pokedex Total" ? Really great video as always !
"And my Inkay evolved into Malamar after holding my 3DS upside down for an entire battle" Hahahaha, what a funny jok- *WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW IT EVOLVES*
When you beat the league, don’t passerby Pokémon in Pokémon amie give you special treats that give you Sylveon in like two snacks? I’m sure you missed that.
Chespin is my favorite boi. I even shiny hunted him as my starter in my most recent playthrough of X. He was the start of ky best team from Kalos and I love it and I love XY as ky favorite Pokemon games. Even though BW2 were my first Pokemon games (which I sucked at), X and Y were my first Pokemon games where I actually began to understand things a bit more and I was still pretty young at the time. I really connected with Snivy, but I REALLY connected with Chespin.
I actually _don't_ have _any issue_ with the *rollerblades* in this game, if you use the Roller Blading *technique* and combine that with a steady-ish (for lack of a better word) hand you can *A.* maintain your speed with a particular technique, and *B.* Well... control yourself....?
The upside of the roller skates is that you can do tricks by jumping off ledges. Other than that, there's nothing positive I can say about them. The upside of the bike is the bike music. Other than that, there's nothing AT ALL I can say about it, other than, "it exists."
These playthroughs are brilliant. I stopped buying the games after gen 3 as I didn't have a 3ds and my og DS decided to break. The best part is because you're showing these games. Now I can decide which ones I really don't want to buy 😆.
Alternate title: "Guy puts effort into entertaining others and actually making a difference in people's lives for minimal self gains while some stranger goes out of their way to be negitive for no reason in the comments. (not clickbait)" Congrats...you may see yourself out now
I remember when X and Y first came out and by far my favourite starter was chespin. Then I saw greninja. So froakie, froakies my favourite Kalos Starter
This entire video has just been John struggling to: 1) Put his recording card in right 2) Rollerskate 3) Ride a bike 4) Ride a Rhydon 5) Die to poison 6) Find a rat 7) Ride a Mammoswine 8) Pronouncing "sachet" 9) Finding a bat 10) Make your Eevee overweight 11) Also... T A L L
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalos. Man I'm happy to see this video come out. I have a huge soft spot for this region and these games. Incidentally, for grinding, I like to use the Battle Chateau. As your rank there goes up, you'll start to see furisode girls, which have audino. As they become available, the writs (specifically silver, gold, and black) will help change up the trainers more often, make them give out more money, and make their pokemon higher levels, respectively. Anyway, my favorite Kalos starter is froakie. Probably a lot of folks are gonna say that, but whatever. I likes what I likes.
X and Y had so much wasted potential. It was such a beautiful game and the Pokémon were pretty great in my opinion. I just wish they expanded on it or maybe fixed the story a bit. And of course Froakie is my favorite starter.
I was working on a full gen 6 national living dex a little while back including mythicals and currently I'm missing Manaphy and Hoopa only. I have all the others from the 2016 events still including a single Volcanion, and I have a mystery Japanese Diance from who knows where. After playing X and Y for like the fourth time I've gotta say I enjoy ORAS much more both story-wise and gameplay-wise, but I just wanna day wow you finished these games fast, a full playthrough of each took me about 11 hours before catching the legendary birds
How exactly? Gen 6 Brought the Mega Evolutions! It is just the very BEST feature in any Pokémon game! (And just that crashes everything Gen five tried to do good) Besides, it was the first 3D pokemon core games and has many “Poke Stars” like Greninja, Talonflame, Sylveon, Xerneas , Yevtal.... They are absolute amazing games!
Hunter Land I completed mine like a moth after getting it since I was so busy shiny hunting in Pokémon sun. But it took me under 25 hours all together to complete it. Rn I’m trying to get shiny charm.
My favorite Kalos starter has to be chespin. Mostly, because I love chesnaughts shiny but also because it was my first starter in kalos. but obviously greninjas shiny is even better.
i know this is quite old and i imagine you might have found something since, but the fast affection method is basically pre-step: unlock unlimited mode yarn bouncy thing - pet twice and feed puffs - do yarn mode bouncy thing to get 50 points twice (this is both significantly faster than both other minigames and gives you 3 of the better puffs for affection each time) - fail unlimited once (or if you're currently doing an oak's challenge in this game, get 50 points one more time to stockpile puffs) - pet twice and feed puffs, you usually are able to feed it all 6 - repeat if you didn't hit 2 hearts (usually happens if you're only getting two of the particle hearts from petting)
My favorite starter is froakie because the first pokemon anime i watched was the pokemon x and y and ash had a froakie and its just nostalgic. Also thank you for spending so much time on your vids just for our entertainment

Alternate title: Guy complains about roller skates and also catches everything in easy game
Alternate title: "Guy puts effort into entertaining others and actually making a difference in people's lives for minimal self gains while some stranger goes out of their way to be negitive for no reason in the comments. (not clickbait)"
Congrats...you may see yourself out now
@@AS34N To long
@@AS34N If he does it for minimal gains, why would he have so many emotes on Twitch?
@@Boyzby That, and there were like 6 ads in this video lol
My first Pokémon game was Y and so I love this video so much.
*sees his other video where’s he’s on run 7 in black/white*
John: run 20
Me: oh sweet Jesus
This is more than a catch em all, its like a retrospective
I remember when X and Y first came out and by far my favourite starter was chespin. Then I saw greninja. So froakie, froakies my favourite Kalos Starter
John: I don't want to bore you with the very little details.
Also john: TALL
I still say you need to make a “How easily can you obtain every Pokémon with its hidden ability” 😁✌️
Also Espurr is best baby ❤️! Change my mind!
In your ORAS catch-all, Name Your Blaziken "Bard" after me.
I’m currently running through soul silver with a gible it’s pretty fun, I’m just passed gym 7 :)
This entire video has just been John struggling to:
1) Put his recording card in right
2) Rollerskate
3) Ride a bike
4) Ride a Rhydon
5) Die to poison
6) Find a rat
7) Ride a Mammoswine
8) Pronouncing "sachet"
9) Finding a bat
10) Make your Eevee overweight
11) Also... T A L L
Fennekin is my favorite Kalos starter and doesn’t get the love it deserves
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalos. Man I'm happy to see this video come out. I have a huge soft spot for this region and these games.
Incidentally, for grinding, I like to use the Battle Chateau. As your rank there goes up, you'll start to see furisode girls, which have audino. As they become available, the writs (specifically silver, gold, and black) will help change up the trainers more often, make them give out more money, and make their pokemon higher levels, respectively.
Anyway, my favorite Kalos starter is froakie. Probably a lot of folks are gonna say that, but whatever. I likes what I likes.
X and Y had so much wasted potential. It was such a beautiful game and the Pokémon were pretty great in my opinion. I just wish they expanded on it or maybe fixed the story a bit.
And of course Froakie is my favorite starter.
Honestly
People would still bitch
@@notscorchingsands9718 pls shut up
I've been waiting for this. I understand why it took as long as it did. Gkad everythings okay now.
I’m not sure why Delphox is the less desirable starter in x and y...
But it’s still my favourite Pokemon anyway
so guys we did it, we completed the pokedex for Kalos
Fav starter: Froakie tbh. I wish it was fennikin, but honestly a frog ninja with cool moves, animations, and design is just hard to top imo
The Chespin line, underrated at first later became my favorite Kalos starter
John, I think you forgot to gift out 5 subs after messing up the trick in the cave.
Me remembering that you get another starter after the elite four but realizing Johnstone actually DID know and subtly hinted at it
My favorite Kalos starter has to be Frokie for the main reason that it was my first Pokemon ever.
This makes me feel old 😭 my first Pokémon was a cyndaquil
SAME! Just with Fenniken
Same lol my first game was y and I picked froakie
@@chops3905 me too my first game was Crystal
smh zoomers
Thank you for the subtle catch jingle instead of the 3x normal volume others use for every single pokemon.
"favourite Kalos starter"
Froakie obviously, if someone chose something other than a frog ninja you are objectively wrong
I thought I was the only person in the world who hated those dang skates! So glad I'm not alone
12 hours for each game, 3 hours catching and leveling, 9 hours of dialogue and unskippable cutscenes
I was working on a full gen 6 national living dex a little while back including mythicals and currently I'm missing Manaphy and Hoopa only. I have all the others from the 2016 events still including a single Volcanion, and I have a mystery Japanese Diance from who knows where. After playing X and Y for like the fourth time I've gotta say I enjoy ORAS much more both story-wise and gameplay-wise, but I just wanna day wow you finished these games fast, a full playthrough of each took me about 11 hours before catching the legendary birds
I hope that on one of these he gets a shiny while breeding for the dex, lol.
Nice. Like how the videos get better as time goes on.
X and Y really feels like a forgotten generation
How exactly? Gen 6 Brought the Mega Evolutions! It is just the very BEST feature in any Pokémon game! (And just that crashes everything Gen five tried to do good)
Besides, it was the first 3D pokemon core games and has many “Poke Stars” like Greninja, Talonflame, Sylveon, Xerneas , Yevtal....
They are absolute amazing games!
I feel like gen 5 is more forgotten mostly because no one remembers the plot/new pokemon in that gen. It's a shame because I really like that gen 😔
Omg yes I’ve been waiting so long for this, and not only that I just finished the game like a week ago.
I finished 2 days after I got Pokemon y. On December 27th (yes it was a Christmas present along with my 3DS.)
Hunter Land so 48 hours or like lower?
Hunter Land I completed mine like a moth after getting it since I was so busy shiny hunting in Pokémon sun. But it took me under 25 hours all together to complete it. Rn I’m trying to get shiny charm.
[Sad in poor]
AlphaLucario you’ll get it one day, just wait. That’s what I did.
Dude, I loved the roller skates.
I’m playing this game but without taking damage
This might be late, but my third favorite Pokemon and the first pokemon I ever owned was the Greninja line
My favorite Kalos starter has to be chespin. Mostly, because I love chesnaughts shiny but also because it was my first starter in kalos. but obviously greninjas shiny is even better.
i know this is quite old and i imagine you might have found something since, but the fast affection method is basically
pre-step: unlock unlimited mode yarn bouncy thing
- pet twice and feed puffs
- do yarn mode bouncy thing to get 50 points twice (this is both significantly faster than both other minigames and gives you 3 of the better puffs for affection each time)
- fail unlimited once (or if you're currently doing an oak's challenge in this game, get 50 points one more time to stockpile puffs)
- pet twice and feed puffs, you usually are able to feed it all 6
- repeat if you didn't hit 2 hearts (usually happens if you're only getting two of the particle hearts from petting)
FIRST VIEW LETS GO
Glad to se your back with the series
I haven't seen these in a long time. Glad you started them again :)
My favorite starter is froakie because the first pokemon anime i watched was the pokemon x and y and ash had a froakie and its just nostalgic. Also thank you for spending so much time on your vids just for our entertainment
