If you're not willing to discard your team just yet, here are ideas for the post-game jubilations. Do you migrate to the next diversion or do squeeze the last, lingering drops of gameplay from the cartridge?

It's the eternal question: Personally, I'm an advocate of the latter. The Nuzlocke Challenge is an idea rooted in the infamous 4chan boards. Created by the eponymous user, the challenge, which was presented in comic format, pivoted on several rules: The idea here was to foster a deeper Pokemon-trainer relationship and to coerce the aspirant into developing new appreciation or hatred for the Pokemon inhabiting the game.

And, of course, to make everything that much bloody harder. Are you up to the challenge? If the Nuzlocke Challenge isn't quite up your alley, one of the many spin-off challenges that eventually wormed its way into the community's notice may prove to be your Dark Souls of Pokemon. There's an absolutely ponderous guide to all the popular challenge types over at Marriland. As always, however, to make things a little easier for those who don't have the time to sieve through the expansive details, here's a brief run-down of all the popular gauntlets:.

Look, here's the deal. This is Pokemon we're talking about. The franchise built around that one iconic conceit: Honestly, it's almost blasphemous to even contemplate not grabbing every single one of those brightly-colored critters. So, don't stop at Don't even pause for A trifling number next to the grand total. Once you've finished your game, why not make it a point to go back and work on acquiring each and every last Pokemon?

The 3D models withstanding, of course. If you're reading this, I'm going to assume you already know what Mega Evolutions are.

If you don't, well, what were you doing all game, man? Asides from being rather awesome, Mega Evolutions tend to be uniformly elusive. Not easy to come by. On the off-chance you've somehow already caught every last Pokemon, here's a suggestion: Just, you know, because. Obsessive compulsion is quite literally the underlining narrative of the game, anyway.

Geek has a comprehensive guide on the subject matter. However, I strongly advise you attempt the quest without external assistance. Only weaklings use walkthroughs. No one is judging. Funny you should ask that, person of indeterminate gender! Unlike other Pokemon, they come in 18 different varieties, each of which corresponds to a different geographical region within the real world. In order to accrue every single pattern, you're going to want to wheedle and work your way into convincing friends and strangers alike to assist with the process.

And since we're on the subject Don't look at me that way. We both know you've done it. After all, I've done it too. Almost everyone who is anyone has, at some point or another, put a Bunnelby into Wonder Trade. Whether it is due to innocence or laziness, we've all sent something worthless into the ether in hopes of being unfairly rewarded with something far more awesome. Unfortunately, while such actions are deliciously selfish, they're not very good for the community.

To put it another way, do you really want your little brother to be disappointed by yet another Bidoof or do you want him to yelp in glee because Wonder Trade brought a cool-as-ice Vaporeon? Yeah, I thought so too. For more in-depth suggestions, here's an article I wrote not too long ago about ways to improve Wonder Trade.

Looker Detective Agency is a side quest that can only be activated after you've completed the game. As you might have already surmised from the sub-titling, the entire chain of events revolves around the aforementioned business and the machinations of a detective named, uh, Looker.

I suspect the translator in charge of this section was a tad literal-minded. For fear of spoiling the entire affair for you, I'm going to keep this as brisk as possible. Just get to Lumiose City after you've given the Elite Four the trouncing they deserved. The game will take it from there. Regrettably, the Looker Detective Agency isn't a particularly long or engaging narrative but it is, however, interesting. Even if it may leave you permanently anxious around those creepy Espurrs Who needs strategic perfection and boundless patience?

Distinguish yourself in the battlefield with a team of shiny Pokemon. I can almost guarantee you that possession of such alternatively-tinted creatures will surprise your opponent into incompetence.

Because acquiring even a single shiny Pokemon is a feat onto itself. Want to know how you make things a little easier on yourself? Then, come check our handy-dandy guide to owning your first shiny Pokemon. There's no shame to admitting to a little bit of a megalomania. We all know that what you'd like to do best is crush your closest friends in a friendly Pokemon match-up.

To beat up your friends? Well, you should totally start thinking about this now. Dueling with other players is an almost astonishingly engrossing experience. It's partially because of all the rulesets you've got to account for, partially because you have no real foreknowledge of what the other dude is going to chuck at you. Most importantly, perhaps, it's because, in order to be a viable contender in the global arena, you're going to have to dive into the surreal rabbit hole that is Pokemon breeding.

Which is practically a game or a science onto itself. The Battle Chateau is kind of like Pokemon hardcore mode. At least, from the perspective of the developers themselves. Here in the Chateau, there is no real pretense at a narrative or demands that you begin the whole sequence of events yet again. Trainers both familiar and not will make sporadic appearances in the Chateau, providing you with the opportunity to revitalize old grudges and rub your training prowess into their blandly smiling visages yet again.

What makes Battle Chateau especially intriguing, though, is the presence of Writs - a bunch of ordinances that can help you tune the difficulty level to your exact preferences.

Well, Wonder Trade is pretty great. I try my hardest to send out some great Pokemans I do send those back out into the ether It makes me feel like that Lvl 3 Bunnelby isn't completely horrible, as long as it has Pokerus. My favourite Wonder Trades were all my Pokerus infected Dratinis! Duskblayde I think my favorite was the Drudiggon I got the very first time. Started becoming obsessed about making Wonder Trade better after that.

When I'm feeling lazy, I try to, at the very least, infect 'em with Pokerus. I've sunk nearly 40 hours into the game and I'm just now entering the 8th gym. I think once I finish the final four I'm going to move on to something else but it's been a pretty great ride. Not going to lie, if I got a shiny bidoof over wonder trade I would probably crap my pants out of sheer happiness.

BTW does anyone have a shiny bidoof? BTW please add me Another thing to do is get through all the ST sessions with a ribbon even the secret ones. Hey, this site can help!

Then just select the Pokemon best fit the description to make THE ULTIMATE TEAM. Oh, I have a thing! Try to catch as many Spinda as possible!

They all have different patterns or well, one in four million have the same , and chaining is much easier if you have the motivation of finding a spotless Spinda or something. Aaah, I love Spinda. They're so drunk and cute. Get your Legendary Bird! After beating the game, I caught a Zapdos. Apparently which bird it is depends on which starter you picked. You have to track it with the pokedex after you first encounter it, where it will run.

After about 10 or so encounters it settles in the cave in the bay, where you can catch it!
