Pokémon!

So I got my birthday gift a week early, and it's one of the new 3DS XLs! And I bought Pokémon Y! Yay! I'm already having much fun. Though I do regret my initial starter choice. Had I known I could get a Bulbasaur, I would not have gotten the other grass starter. Would have totally gone with the water one. I'll try to trade for one when I can get to online trading, wherever that happens.

(also -- i have never traded pokémon, so i have no idea when or how or anything. :P)

I figured it out the hard way, by accidentally trading away my starter pokémon. I'd cringe, but I was planning on trading it for the Froakie anyway. You have to go through the yellow PSS screen on the bottom screen, then on a tiny folder at the top, then go over a page to GTS, which is about global trading. You'd think it'd be the trade button, or the wonder trade button, but nooooo. Wonder Trade, it turns out, is a blind, random trade. You put up whichever one you want to give, and then trade it for a random one someone else decided to give. Fun, if you know about it ahead of time...

really?? i'm going to have to try that, because i definitely unlocked the PSS. i'll load up with a bunch of pokémon i don't care about so if i screw up, it won't matter. xD

thanks for the info!

Yeah, I had to look it up online, and even after that it required trial and error. Though thinking about it, I just realized that when the 3DS starts up, there's a button right there for the manual, which is what I wanted to read, but couldn't find. *facepalm*

ha ha!! don't feel too bad, i didn't even know the manual was available until jay told me a week or two ago. :P
