• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

    The Nintendo are DOOMED thread

    They do find themselves in a tough place - but I disagree that if they launched a console of the power of the Xbox One or PS4 midway through their life cycles that they'd be just as out of pace as they currently are. There is a fairly significant diminishing of returns, in terms of graphical...

    The Nintendo are DOOMED thread

    There's been a lot of digital ink spilled in the past few years over Nintendo's failings, first with the 3DS, then with the Wii U, and most recently as a profitable business in general. This thread is the general discussion, explanation and, essentially, rebuttal, to the general concept that...

    Which of the three newest consoles are you getting?

    My reckoning is that you'd get a lot more out of the Xbox One as a media centre than you would from the PS4. My aversion to talking to machinery like a lunatic has even been somewhat broken by the Xbox One because saying "Xbox Pause" is a thousand times easier than turning the controller on...

    Ask the Staff

    I probably catch up on what's happening on the site for about half an hour a day. I might spend a bit longer around the chat if I'm at my computer for any space of time that night.

    The Pokecharms Safari

    Valin has an Aipom as well as Chansey and Loudred, and Ferne's I can confirm as Aipom and Mincinno. And Katie's is rubbish so she needs to finish the Elite 4 faster and get something better :p

    The Battle Videos Thread

    Since you can now collect 100 Vs Recorder battles, it's actually worthwhile having a thread dedicated to them. Some of the codes below will eventually drop off, so if you come by any that don't return anything - or don't return what they're meant to, post here and we'll remove it. To add a...

    Post your X/Y questions here! (NO STORY SPOILERS)

    Diggersby also serves as a good HM slave if you don't need it to use Fly. It can do Cut, Strength, Surf and Rock Smash.

    Obtaining Event Pokémon In Pokémon X & Y - A Quick Guide

    I didn't even know they'd done that before in Gen V. All that really matters is that we get some word, ideally sooner rather than later, about what the DLC plans for the series are. At least just give us a "yes, we'll talk later" or a "no, that isn't happening this Generation" and leave it at...

    Pokémon X and Y and the Trainer Card Maker

    That'd depend entirely on what we decide to do when we come to it. I'd suppose, though, that if we did have an entirely new TCM for Gen VI stuff, we'd keep both. There's definitely room for development of the TCM in general, so don't take anything said here as an announcement of anything other...

    Pokémon X and Y and the Trainer Card Maker

    The problem is that we couldn't just start cutting bits out and sticking them on top of the current sprites. We'd have to have a (quite a large) base 'doll' image and a buttonne of stuff to chop and change over it. It's by no means a technical impossibility, but we'd just never be able to get...

    The Video Game Music Thread

    This is a general discussion thread about music in video games. As you're probably aware, given the recent post about the Video Games Live Kickstarter, I'm a pretty massive fan of good music in good games - and a sucker for remixed or orchestrated music of games I love. I think one of my...

    When nostalgia sucks...

    I... Wha... I.. what In no uncertain terms, Sonic 2006 is one of the worst games ever released. It might not have been if they actually finished making it before they released it - but they quite actively didn't, and the result is a genuinely unplayable mess of 10 minute loading...

    Free Copy Of Pokédex 3D Pro With Download Copy Of X/Y At GAME

    Nintendo, following repeated questioning, continues to insist that the fact they need a unified user account across their platforms is "on their radar" - which would make this problem null - but at this point, we can't even begin to guess when they might actually get around to it. Some of the...

    Pokécharms Question and Answer Session: X and Y Eurogamer Demo

    So, we got to play the demo yesterday - and yes, it was identical to the previous demos, as we expected - so, to confirm, that means no Team Flare, extra trainer battles, viewable stats, etc. There are comprehensive videos of the demo online from previous events, so if you want to know exactly...

    Grand. Theft. Auto. Nuff Said.

    Pokécharms Question and Answer Session: X and Y Eurogamer Demo

    There are a few questions here that can be answered already, so I'll just jump in now to clear the easy ones away: We've seen part of the Fly animation already, so here's a screengrab that probably answers your queries: The demo, almost definitely just being the same demo already doing...

    Official Pokémon X and Y Discussion (All Spoilers Welcome!)

    I didn't update this topic, but this was confirmed as fake. Still, there's pretty much nothing on here I don't still expect to see Mega Evolve regardless.

    Doctor Oak's Trading Topic

    That would be very helpful, thanks. My offer list still stands, and I've got plenty of junk if you're just feeling philanthropic. Tomorrow evening UK time may be the best time to try and arrange a trade as I don't think I'll be available tonight.
