I want to be able to hear if a shiny has appeared but prefer my own music collection to that played during game play.

  • No, you cannot change the default music/sound effects.

    :'( Need to complain to Game Freak then. This is just unacceptable.

  • Well, it's been like that since 1996 ^^ Plus if you the colour palette of a Pokemon, you'll easily spot a shiny.

  • I have not played much of the series. I could understand the originals not having the option but by now it should be a basic feature.

    To my knowledge no 3DS game has this ability. The most I've seen is being able to switch between Japanese and English audio

As others have stated, it is not possible to individually adjust Sound Effects & Music volume in Pokemon X/Y. Even the Mono/Stereo option has been removed in this version.

On shiny catching however, as a general rule of thumb, if you're not 100% sure if it's shiny, catch it! It's only going to cost you a Quick Ball/Pokeball to check.

You can also view the Colour differences online, Bulbapedia lists them all on the specific Pokemon's page, for example, here is Haunter's

  • Even then, I didn't find the setting to change the sound setting from mono to stereo (and vice versa). Seems they removed it in this game...

  • @Jerry - Huh, so it is. I'd thought I'd seen it earlier, but apparently not :)
