Datamining stuff: gen 6 event backstory edition

Not much to say here except follow this link.

Perhaps the most interesting part is the one about an oasis in the desert. If you'll recall, there's an area on route 13 that's currently off-limits, and clearly it wouldn't have been put there if it serves no purpose.

  1. First thing I think when I look at this is Mirage Island with the whole "transports islands" thing.
    But maybe it's because my brain is in Hoenn mode.

  2. Oh man, this is most assuredly not the last thing that will be datamined, but anyways, I lost my damned 3DS today, somewhere in my house, im trying to find it.

  3. Not necessarily. Remember the truck...

  4. So, we're able to datamine stuff such as this, yet nobody seemed to notice that non-evolved Pokémon seem to start getting boosted EXP for no reason when they are beyond their level of evolution ? I noticed this because I restarted my Pokémon X file to get another copy of each Mega Stone I already had to trade with my little brother so we could both have every single one of them. (Also, exclusive Legendary + another legendary bird, but that's beside the point.)
    Out of sheer boredom, I decided to start a Bunnelby solo-run. I decided against using both Super Training and Pokémon-Amie for the sake of keeping it as similar to solo-runs in previous games as possible. (Also, no Eviolite either, but that's also beside the point.) Yet after level 20, it started getting boosted EXP for no apparent reason. I tried to do a research about it and no website seems to list this as an updated mechanic. Am I imagining things ? Can other people test this out ?

    1. No I got it too. I don't know too much about it, but I do notice it (mostly in longer battles where a 'mon gains multiple levels). Thought it had already been discovered but I haven't paid much attention.

    2. It's listed on Bulbapedia's experience page, so so much for "no website".

    3. Seems like I was looking at the wrong place then. Thought I'd see it in the "Alterations from Gen V" section. And Bulbapedia is kind of a bitch to navigate when you're not sure exactly where to look. I tend to avoid the website unless I have a clear idea of what to research. Since it wasn't in the alteration section I didn't bother to look at the Experience section, to which it was added like an afterthought. Kinda ruins the point of a unevolved challenge or a solo-run if you ask me, but since the multiplier is only 1.2, I guess it's not that big of a deal.
