FREQUENT Q&A:

>How do I hatch eggs faster?
Get a Pokemon with the Flame Body ability (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flame_Body_

>Where are the best places to hatch eggs?
Right there in front of the Daycare, just ride your bike to the cave on the left, position yourself under the sign and you should be able to go back and forth without any interruptions. Or, you could go to the center of Lumiose town and ride around in circles.

>Has the Friend Safari shiny encounter rate increased?
No one knows, it hasn't been confirmed. However, it SEEMS as if it might have increased, even just a little bit. There are only three Pokemon you can encounter in each Safari, so that may have something to do with it. Just keep running around and you might run into one. You can't use the Radar or Sweet Scent, or anything like that in the Safari either.

>How do you chain Pokemon?
Buy a bunch of repels, go to a large patch of grass, use your pokeradar and go to the hardest shaking bush that is the farthest away from you. Defeat or capture the pokemon and continue your chain the way you started. Don't get on your bike or your skates, and don't leave the patch of grass.

***BE CAREFUL WHEN TRADING YOUR SHINIES. FISH CHAINING HAS BECOME EXTREMELY POPULAR AMONGST /vp/ USERS AND MAJORITY OF THE SHINY FISH POKEMON (Staryu, Relicanth, Qwilfish, Clauncher, etc.) HAVE GONE WAY DOWN IN VALUE. KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN TRADING***
