Pokemon X & Y

Do friend safari's work even if the other person hasn't completed the 8 gyms?   If so, what is mine?? 

[Flarewing]

Friend safaris work even if the other person doesn't own either version of the game. It's simply based on the friend code sequence, but you have to actually be "friends", mutually added; you can punch in someone's code, but if they don't add you, you don't get a safari based on their friend code. For example, I have kaoskat as a mutually added friend, and I had a FS for her (Flying, I believe). I have added Vampasaurus when she added her FC to the Animal Crossing thread chain, but she never added me back, and I have never had a FS for her.

The safaris fall into two categories: those who have beaten the Final Four, and those who have not. Obviously, if they haven't bought the game, they haven't beaten the Final Four. Those who cleared the game have three pokemon available, and those who have not cleared only have the first two of three. The game assumes that they haven't cleared the Final Four by default, up until the point where you're connected to the internet at the same time that they are after they have cleared it, and then their third pokemon will be unlocked for your access.

:3 Thanks for the explanation ~
That's pretty neat that just mutual friends have it, and not just people who have the game.

Yup, I'm a big nerd. It's a neat little networking feature that helps people out in the game. It rewards players who share their codes with their friends, rather than people who just punch in a bunch of random numbers hoping to get lucky.

Speaking of, Bandit, should I add you to my spreadsheet of X & Y players?

You've also got Slugma, but no third pokemon so far.

From what I understand the 3rd won't show until I beat the Final 4.  I'm still at 5 badges. 

Thanks for letting me know the second one!

This is cool and might help those of you who are currently mass breeding.  I know I plan to try it out once I am ready!  Might save some sore thumbs!
