I really want to play it... have to wait till tomorrow for Takealot to deliver my "pre-order" :mad:
I know its not their fault that they game came out on a Saturday and they don't deliver on the weekends, but its still annoying as hell to have to wait for the game because of their delivery team.

Actually they do deliver on Weekends - their website states to.
Their email they sent states that they do not.

So I call the call centre on Friday @ 1pm - they state that they cannot do weekend/overnight delivery after 12PM.
Requested to speak to their supervisor - who promised to call me back.
@ 4PM - Nada. So I log a complaint on hellopeter.com http://hellopeter.com/take2takealot/complaints/contradicting-information-1216744

10 minutes later I receive a call. Silly manager tries to con me stating that they do deliveries, but not to my area (Main Centre - Durban)

After haggling with her- I paid R150 to get it delivered on Saturday morning - 8.30 :)

Still not too happy about it thou :p As the email they sent out contradicts their website.

Open world??? Sorry I'm being a Monday Dead Person if someone else understands this better.
Wasn't Pokemon always Open World?

Open world as in you don't have to move through certain areas to progress in the story, which it isn't.
 
I finished Y yesterday and found out that Poke Radar is back so shiny chaining from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum is back :D.

More good news. This was my favorite feature from Plat.

Mine too even though I could never get the chaining high enough for shinies. Tried it last night and works exactly the same as platinum which is cool glad they didn't change it and seems they dropped the charging to 50 steps, pretty sure it was more than that.

We should add each other to the 3ds friend list for trading and the new safari.

If you choose Fennekin it is awesome in the game yet to try the other starters on X. I used these to beat the game with ease.

Delphox Fire/Psychic
Jolteon Electric
Blastoise Water
Diggersby Normal/Ground
Azumarill Water/Fairy
Talonflame Fire/Flying

Gave all coverage to kill everything :D.

I think 50 steps was the old amount also.
I have cought quite a few with chaining.
I also bred a couple. I have about 20 self found shinies.

Will have to get X/Y. Stopped myself from buying it. And have to transfer about 300 pokemans from B/W(2) which takes ages :(

Got lots of shinies here, but they were all from trades since I can never find them in any of my games, I think I am cursed with bad luck.

If you checked out pokebank you can transfer whole boxes at a time so it won't take long and they got over 500 pokemon in X & Y so won't need to trade too much, 450 Pokemon before National Dex.

Will have to check again in Platinum I though it was 100, oh my max chain was 30 in Platinum, but seems harder to chain in these or I am doing it wrong :D.

That sounds like a great deal. Subs are cheap also.
Chaining is a bitch because your eyes start getting lazy after 20+ chains and it gets hard to see the right spot.

My rule of thumb is never run straight up tho. I've lost so many chains thatnks t that shit it aint funny.

Thats probably why I failed :p and is it always the furtherest shaking spot since that seems to work better than closer.

Sometimes I get patches with no pokemon, but the grass shook which sucks :(.

Remember that when the shiny shake comes it might be the closest one. Just dont confuse a shiny shake with a white shake or you're gonna have a bad day.
 
The new safari zone is quite cool you need to add friend codes to your 3ds to access 3 pokemon of a certain type depending on the friend code number.

Mine is Dragon :D.
 
If anyone has a 3ds and/or Pokemon X & Y please share your friend code so I can add you for the friend safari and you can add me also.

Silver 3ds: Ichigo 1177-6436-5894 (Dragon Safari)
Blue 3ds: Chloe 2552-1796-6303 (Dark Safari)

Once we add each other we get access to the friend safaris in game for certain pokemon
