Now's a good time to concentrate on my Pokemon X game.

Actually for a couple reasons. There's so much Christmas garbage on TV right now (I guess I've moved into the baa humbug stage of my life, having seen it all a few thousand times already), and that Pokemon Bank is just around the corner (less than a week away, now). Anyone else find they are playing their game more now? Are you looking forward to porting over more pokemon from earlier games? Lately I noticed that I have .... like 32 boxes to fit pokemon in on my game, so I'll be using quite a few soon. Anyone know the max number of boxes you can have in the game?
 
In XY there are only 7 boxes in the game for Pokemon, which I think is a complete rip off considering past Pokemon games had like 18 and the game card can hold a max of 8 gb of data. I think they made it 7 just to sell the Pokemon Bank service. Still cant wait to bring my Pokemon over to XY though.
 
7?!! After playing the game for a while, they add boxes! You must not have very many pokemon. Like I said in the original post - I now have 32 boxes on pokemon X.
 
Why not try to do some captures on your friend safari? I bet you'll be up there in no time.

Personally, I'm more focused on catching up on playing Zelda and what not (I recently got a Wii U after my Wii broke about 2 years ago)
I do want to get back to X/Y though with the next set of regionals around the corner

Really? I still have 7.

Extra boxes (BW-on) are opened after closing the PC with at least one Pokemon in each box. I guess it was done to make it easier to navigate when you don't have as many Pokemon.
 
Yeah ive got about 300 hours in Y and spent yesterday powering through X so I could get the legendarys. Now I'm spending time trying to power through black 2 cause I can find my white 2 and I want those legendarys. I'm currently soft resetting for a shiny cobalion and may try resetting for shiny of all the legendarys, if its possible to get that legendary shiny.
 
I'm up to 240 hours. To be honest, I haven't spent as much time with my family as I have Pokemon X during the same time period. Hmmm, that's mildly disturbing. Mind you, they have their hobbies and pastimes as well, so I don't feel quite as bad as I would if the kids were small, and needed constant supervision.

Good luck on the soft resetting for shiny legendarys. I hope you get at least one. I don't think I'd have the patience for that .... even if I am doing the baa humbug thing. I had hoped that I'd have Pokemon Y by now, but money has been tighter than I'd hoped. So at the moment I'm just concentrating on breeding some good pokemon for a decent team, then probably not long after Pokemon Bank comes out I'll do some more breeding for teams, and then start the EV training. Yeah, I can see me having over 500 hours on this game before getting sick of it. I may just reset Black or Black 2 (Josh has White and White 2) after porting my pokemon over .... just to see if I can get other pokemon I didn't catch the last time, or hey, maybe more legendarys, who knows? Those games weren't entirely terrible, and I didn't mind playing them.
 
I'm about to go back and play more on Black 2 as I realized there is a lot I did not do. I just wish Pokemon would release complete games and not release the same things over and over. I'm getting tired of buying new Pokemon game where there is a lot of the game I currently have that has not been unlocked by them. Mainly the even Pokemon already programmed into the game.
 
Yeah ive been breeding a lot as well. I beat the game in 35 hours and after 200 hours of breeding I'm going back to Gen 5(holy jeez at the graphics difference). I'm only gonna do about 50 resets per legendary before I give up with the exceptions being Kyurem(I'm getting shiny kyurem, end of story) and maybe the eon twins.

Some of the Pokemon are shiny locked so you cant get them shiny. I was told that Reshiram, Zekrem and maybe Kyurem can't be shiny.
 
I guess I'm gonna have to be content with some form of quad Scyther instead of a quint one. I've tried breeding 5 IV value pokemon from 2 quad valued pokes, and one quad and a 2 IV'd Ditto to the tune of about 300 eggs without any success. I guess it's just a case of bad luck - I just can't seem to breed that last value, no matter what I do. I've gotten the ability I want, and even the nature, ability, and characteristic I want, but not that last IV. Has anyone else encountered this problem with a particular breed of pokemon?
