Okay so I haven't played pokemon since Fire Red Leaf Green and I was like "Oh Boy! A new pokemon! On a handheld I have no games for yet? Hot dog!" So I bought X and I wanted to learn about all that has changed and where better than a board I have never been on!

And now everything I have done is wrong. Apparently nature means something, apparently having only damage moves is a bad idea, APPARENTLY THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINED CONSTANT IS GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL.

I don't know what to do anymore. Here is my pokemon feel free to explain how turning a pikachu into a raichu at a certain level matters. Just help me please.
