I miss the Pokeblock blender system, though; that was fun.
My IGN is Virgofall in OR, Leorise in X - male/female respectively.
Finished the E4 last night. Team was Sceptile, Gyarados, Skitty, Pelliper, Mightyena and Machoke; I was pretty much rushing down the game as fast I could and I don't think I would've been able to beat Steven if not for Intimidates (Gyarados/Mightyena) and Charm (Skitty) nulling any decent form of attack on his Metagross.
Some other musings from my experience, though not in any particular order (unless spoiler-related):
- The Super-Secret Base system's cool so far. Being able to heal your pokes if you have a bed in there is really nice, too.
- Getting the version Lati was REALLY abrupt. Almost too abrupt, in my opinion. Better than roaming, but still...
- I can't tell if Nintendo/Game Freak failed a spot check on Wallace's new outfit. I understand fanservice is what's intended, but... what.
- The O-Power guys are really creepy this game. Especially after you get your post-E4 one - 6-guy fusion into Mr. Bonding, GO!

Ahhhh I'm still so far behind. I'm just so slow when I play games T_T I'm still only 3 badges in...Also I agree with you on the pokeblock blender system being removed. I miss it too =< Right now my team is a Lopunny named...Lopunny because I got the Buneary through wonder trade (knew thunder punch, fire punch, and ice punch!) which I really freaked out about since Lopunny is one of my favorite pokemon in general. Still have my Skitty Mia in my team, my Dustox named Daphne, Gloom named Veronica (hoping I find a leaf stone soon), Plusle named Mimi (and my boyfriend is going to give me a minun named mini), and a Pelipper named Penny although she hasn't actually been on my team for a while since I've been keeping Luna my Linoone on my team for HM moves and secret power. Been having a lot of fun with the game and setting up my first secret base was exciting. Anyway, probably gonna be a while before I get to the Elite 4.

Finished the main game and the post-game episode. Nothing left but messing with secret bases and resetting for shinies. And this is where I'm starting to notice a lot of flaws, especially with secret bases.
Bases are very cramped
Limit of 5 Secret Pals
Limit of 16 decorative objects
Teams are limited to 3 pokes - this is really awkward for Doubles. I guess teams of 4 or 6 are too scary for the kids.
Egg hatching ability is too weak - 1 or 2 tries per secret pal that happens to have the egg hatching ability. Pointless.
Visitors don't see Secret Pals's real teams, apparently- they get default teams
Due to unique base interiors, you can't add a base that shares a location with a base you already have
QR code scanning give me an incorrect error
As for legendary resetting, the ones that spawn in portals in the sky are going to be a hassle - can't save in front of the portal, so I'm forced to endure the mega evolution cutscene every time.
Also, I'm rather distraught about what they did to Looker

Just got AS yesterday. I just recently got a 4IV Bold German Sableye w/ Prankster and a 6IV Spanish, shiny Adamant Honedge from Wondertrade lol.

As a player who does primarily doubles... ugh. But at least Inverse Battles are offered as an option. Agreed on the last, though. I wonder if it's simply Game Freak's way of saying they're no longer using Looker as a character in the games anymore? Maybe he wasn't popular in Japan?
On a somewhat unrelated note, Pokken Tournament has had more information announced. On one hand it annoys me a little that Pikachu's in it, but then, it's Pikachu we're talking about... I really shouldn't be surprised. Yay Gardevoir (but then, I'm biased). Any thoughts on some of the new information that's came out on it?
Edit: dsgklsjdfmajc *headdesk* Yeah, I just woke up and used the wrong tag... not that it matters since it was quoted later but
