I don't know why it says new adventure and a new region in the trailer. It's sounding like a sequel. I guess I'm cool with that, because it's an older game. But I never got Black or White 2.

My friend told me about this. I never played the original Ruby and Sapphire, considering I had stopped play Pokemon after the 1st gen games. I didn't get back into Pokemon until Firered and Leafgreen, and then Soulsilver. Nevertheless, I can imagine it will have great potential, since I really enjoyed Heartgold and Soulsilver.

Most Mega evolutions are terrible, I wonder if they'll survive to Gen VII counting you can't have items in Pokemon Box and I don't see people trying to get all the Mega Stones again. Wouldn't really care if they're dropped even if not all of them were terrible.

I wasn't planning to get this game on launch since I haven't even finished Pokemon X/Y but I guess I will since they are giving a shiny metagross with the megastone away in the first few weeks and I'll buy the game eventually. I still regret all the event Pokemon I missed from Black/White and B/W2 just because I didn't buy the games until later and at the same price...

CyberCubed
08-10-2014, 09:52 PM
I still don't get why Mega-Evolutions were created either. They should have just been alternate new evo's for pokemon, like how Politoed was a new alternate compared to Poliwrath.

Apparently they leaked Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino on the Korean website but the pics were taken down.

http://assets.vg247.com/current//2014/08/Mega-Slowbro-and-Mega-Audino-Pokemon.jpg

Mega Slowbro is still Water/Psychic with the ability Shell Armor.
Mega Audino is the first Gen 5 Mega Pokemon. It now has the Normal/Fairy type with the ability Healer.

LOOK INTO MEGA SLOWBRO'S FACE. THAT IS THE FACE OF A GUY WHO HAS SEE SOME STUFF.

Mega Slowbro amuses me but makes me a little sad that it wasn't Mega Slowking. Poor Slowking, he's lived in Slowbro's shadow his whole existence!

And he could use pants!

So the special demo is a different "side story"? And can I transfer the Pokemon I catch to it to the full version?


since I guess this will become the new "Pokemon general" thread in the drome. Anyone a bit disappointed with Pokemon Box? Everytime I use it I am perplexed by how basic and non-user friendly it is in some things, heck it doesn't even support the touch screen and it can be kind of clunky. I thought that by now they would have upgraded it a bit but there's no thing about it, maybe it wasn't the success Nintendo expected it to be? I say that because you don't even see "Pokemon Box' support for ORAS being advertised as a feature which they raved about in X/Y. I'm sure ORAS will support Box but it just feels odd that they don't promote it anymore. The application has a ton of possibilities so I hope Nintendo invests more money on it.

Talking about Nintendo not supporting their "apps", I'm also disappointed Pokedex 3D hasn't gotten an X/Y update, its been over a year since X/Y came out so there's no excuse, especially since X/Y used the same 3D models from the app so it wouldn't be hard to get the new Kalos Pokemon into the app.

And does anyone need a Shiny Gengar code? www.gameplanet.com emails you the code for one if you sign up, I think in the US it wasn't as easy to get.

Raptor86
10-24-2014, 05:12 AM
The only Pokemon you would be able to tranfer to the full version is the Glalie with the Mega-Stone...

I am very looking forward to this game. Though I'll be honest, there are an awful lot of Mega Evolutions. I really do like the Mega Evolutions of Beedrill and Rayquaza.

Netkeeper
10-26-2014, 06:56 PM
I'm not bothered by the amount of them. It makes previously unusable Pokémon viable again, and gives people some serious choices to make when constructing teams. I'm all for any mechanics they can introduce that make online battling more than just fighting the same few monsters all the time.

Honestly, I think that there name change is for placeholder reasons only... same thing happen with X & Y.

I'm looking forward to these remakes. I never got into X and lost interest in Pokemon after that, but I liked the original Hoenn games, so I'll be getting Sapphire for nostalgia reasons. Also, I'm glad that Secret Bases are back and it'll be nice to see Hoenn in 3d.

Gunpowder
11-09-2014, 03:22 PM
I forgot all about secret bases! Those were fun. At the moment I'm not very hyped about these games, but I've already pre-ordered Alpha Sapphire and I'm sure that I'll need to change my pants once I actually start playing it. :lol:

I really don't know what to do about this game.

I'm planing a big travel to Japan next summer, monster hunter 4 is coming out in Europe next spring and I have already played the original Ruby and Emerald in my GBA when they first came out.

Does it really make sense to spend 45€ just for playing with the new forms of a few pokemon, when I already got the complete National Dex in Pokemon Y?

Netkeeper
11-21-2014, 02:40 PM
HEY, WHO ELSE GOT DIS GAME?

I wasn't one of those people super excited about it [tbh I treated it as Just Another Release when it was first revealed] but re-watching that opening for the first time in years was definitely a blow to the emotions.

****in' stupid game made me cry I GOT MY ORIGINAL SAPPHIRE VERSION STOLEN FROM ME I EVEN GAVE MY TRAINER THE SAME STUPID NAME MY KID-SELF GAVE HIM

Gunpowder
11-21-2014, 03:00 PM
HEY, WHO ELSE GOT DIS GAME?

*raises hand*

Went to the midnight release. :tcool: Unfortunately, though, I still have yet to even turn it on because of f*ckin' math homework I had to finish for today...so I haven't seen the new intro. It'll have that same effect on me, no doubt.

slashpieturtlemix

Me and three buds are going to Japan this coming year so I need to get back into pokemon to get back into the tourist mentality. Maybe I will toss pokeballs at stray animals :P

Freeman
11-29-2014, 06:07 AM
Well, I'm weak.

45€ for a remake seem too much for give, even more given that I have the full dex in Pokemon Y and that it grings my gears that there's no compativility between last two games, but I finnaly felt to the epicness of Gen III and got Pokemon Ruby with my girl picking Shappire.

Now for the good news: with the new DexNav feature you can enjoy some cool bonus I was able to take advantage of
You can now chain hunt a specific pokemon, making them to appear with eggmoves, hidden abilities, better IV spread and even shinys!
I always wanted a shiny Taillow and you can catch them in the second route of the game, so I started goofying around with the DexNav, out of pure instinct actually, and with a hunt rate of 102 I encounter and hunted my shiny taillow with 5h gameplay ^o^
I'm now on a more sistematic reserch to catch some shinys cosistently and maybe do a giveaway in the upcoming World Yoyo Contest in Tokyo next Summer


How are you enjoying the game this far?
Pretty much the expected remake for me, but the story is so good and I'm digging the color pallet way more than in X/Y, all look more vivid and brilliant here.

I will be getting Sapphire for Christmas as I got the original Sapphire eleven years ago. My younger brother decided not to get this generation of Pokémon games this time around. The problem is we used to start one of the games over until we both had a fire and a grass type starter for us to go along with the water one we chose in the actual game we played so I will only have a water starter this go with just the one version to mess with. How does this internet trade thing work so I can get the fire and water starter at the beginning as well?

11-29-2014, 08:55 AM
You can do that pretty easy if you've got Pokemon X/Y and the Box, but that's assuming you have all that.

A little saddening that these games aren't getting much love on here (meanwhile, the Smash Bros thread is apparently the place to be). For those who've played it or are still playing it, what's your team look like?

Here's mine:
Sceptile
Armaldo
Lunatone
Skarmory
Sableye
Pelipper (soon to be Sharpedo instead)

I know a lot of us normal PKMN fans here are waiting on the game because of the deluge of games last month. Although, Pokemon threads around here are never really bumping, because Pokemon is such a known quantity. There's not a lot to discuss.

I'm excited to play it when I have the time though!

CyberCubed
12-01-2014, 06:03 PM
The game lacks the Battle Frontier from Emerald version which is disappointing.

It'll be such a cash-grab if a Delta Emerald is announced next year, forcing people to spend $40 over something that should have been there in the first place. But seeing as how every third version of each game has always been mostly a cash-grab, it wouldn't surprise me.

I can see them doing a third version of XY next year and a Delta Emerald so there are two new versions at the same time again like BW2 back in 2012. Best case scenario is the Battle Frontier is $10 DLC for ORAS instead.

Gunpowder
12-01-2014, 06:18 PM
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that it'll be DLC, but don't quote me on that. And I don't see a Delta Emerald happening because in the past, the remakes have only been for the original 2 games (remakes for Gold and Silver but not Crystal, for example). But of course, I could be wrong about that, too.

I haven't had a lot of chance to play yet, I just got my first badge. I kind of got distracted by other games and I don't necessarily prioritise remakes.

I think so far all I've got is Treecko, Poochyena, Zigzagoon, and shiny Beldum.

I downloaded it but haven't played it since I just now started the special demo and I'm getting all the items before I start my main quest and transfer them there. I have to admit that I'm mad at the name changes of May/Brendan and while I'm ok with their re-designs I don't like that they retcon so many things in the new remakes, FireRed/GreenLeaf tried to make more sense of the Pokemon "world" but with the remakes they just tell new stories and change personalities of characters or events that happened in canon games or remove things from the third versions like they did in HG/SS and these games from Emerald/Crystal. I really wish this had been Ruby2/Sapphire2 instead of actual remakes...I don't even understand the changes its like when they replaced Kris with the new girl in HGSS..

There won't be an Emerald remake...they never make a third version for remakes, we may get a "Z" version but who knows, last gen we got "B2/W2" instead of a gray version. I think Gamefreak doesn't want to feel "predictable" so they'll change things around.

I started playing Alpha Sapphire a few days ago. I just arrived in Dewford Town and I'm enjoying the game so far. There seems to be a lack of good electric, fire and dark types, though.

Netkeeper

The original Ruby and Sapphire also had this problem, especially in regards to electric types. For fire I like Camerupt and Torkoal, though they are by no means amazing.

I always especially disliked Camerupt, considering his double weakness (combined with the fact that 99% of players carry a water type). Not so much because I'd use it, but because in Ruby, all you have to do beat Maxie is use Surf (a move which you're required to have to reach him the second time), so it was just straight-up too easy. Even when I was 9.

I don't like what they did to Granite Cave this time around...the fact that I had to grab a bike from Mauville before I could get Sableye. :roll:

And I don't use Wonder Trade solely because I like to nickname my Pokemon. I got that shiny Beldum and was all set to use it; then I remembered I couldn't nickname it and was like, "Welp. Not using Metagross."

Yeah, you didn't need the bike before. You could just say, "Pffft. Flash? Who needs that?" and yolo your way through the remainder of the cave til you reach Steven. This time it's different.

& you gotta talk to Capt. Stern's worker (or whatever role that guy has, I dunno...). Go in the huge building at the bottom right portion of the city and when you walk in, there's literally a cutscene that leads you straight to the guy. Talk to him and head to the museum. Should be unblocked. :trazz:

So I got a 2DS to update to be able to play the new games. Among them is Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. How does the online trade work? I have never done it before. I usually have all three starters as my brother and I reboot the game until we both have a fire and grass to transfer to each other and start with water. He does not have the updated DS nor Ruby Omega. That being said,if I can figure out this online thing will anyone be willing to give me a hatched fire or grass starter since I just have one version to work with? Thanks so much.

How do you trade on 2DS/3DS? I can get you an extra starter and trade it so you could have multiple starters to go throughout the game if you will hold extra starters for me.

You trade using the PSS feature instead of using the Pokemon Centre in older games. You receive it early on in Petalburg City. Your best bet to get the other starters is to use the GTS. I could trade you a starter from Alpha Sapphire or X. What's your fc?

I am only a day into transitioning from the old DS to 2DS and have not played Pokémon since Diamond. So its embarrassing having ask all these questions that would probably seem simple to you all. Sorry. :toops:

FC#? Where do I find that on the Gameboy package/instruction booklet? So far I just charged the system and did the basic set ups. I have Super Smash Bros. ready to play after I log off.

Mudkip, will be my starter and team captain. I just always liked having the other two starters at my disposal. If its not too hard in a few days to pass on a Torchic that would be great though I would not have anything worth trading. So the trade would not be fair but perhaps I can compensate down the line. I assume you would breed for the starter to trade.

Who do you plan on using,Peanut?

If I am able to get Torchic to team with the Mudkip that I will start with who would be a solid bunch to round out the team? I want to raise a Aron to Aggron but that is on Victory Road. I would also like to add Espeon to the mix but that will have to wait until after the Elite Four. So Swampert/Blaziken/Swellow/Aggron/Manetric/Mighteyena/Roselia and switch out one and add Espeon into the mix when able. Any suggestions?

Mudkip
Torchic (thanks in advance Wesley)
Tailow
Poochenya
Raltz
Beldom

I will rotate Aron and Electrike as time progresses and have a team of eight. I generally like having a couple of reserves and not limit myself to six for purposes of diverse types and a strong team.

Yes,just tell me of which of those you want of what is available in Alpha Sapphire. It will likely be a few weeks but I shall come through the best I can. I will look up my fc info early in the day tomorrow. Thanks for completing my team. Does anyone else raise more than six when playing through?

Usually, I just train 6 Pokemon in each game, but with this game, I decided to raise a few more as well. I managed to get a good fire type by trading a Zigzagoon for a Houndour on the GTS. Surprisingly, it was traded after a few minutes. Any Pokemon with Flame Body is fine. I added your fc just now.

I forgot where Lavaridge Town was as well. The last time I played a Hoenn-based game was 10 years ago. I came across it accidentally when I went south from Mt Chimney after defeating Aqua Leader Archie for the first time there. There's an areadex app in the pokenav plus that shows a map of the Hoenn region. If you click on the towns and areas, it'll give you more information about them.

I beat Norman last night. He was the toughest Gym Leader yet with Pokemon between level 28 and 30. My Breloom took out his first two Pokemon with Force Plam, but his second Slaking defeated it with Retaliate. Fortunately, my other Pokemon were strong enough to deal with Slaking. I made it to Fortree City and decided to take a break from the game for a while. I tried going to Lilycove, but someone was blocking the way.

Beat the E4 just now. I don't know why, but this was by far the easiest Pokemon game ever. Not that they've ever been difficult or anything, but from about the 3rd or 4th gym I pretty much OHKO'd everything going forward, but I figured the usual spike would happen in Victory Road and then the E4 would have some painful spots, but not at all. I ran over the Pokemon League in about 10 minutes.

Love your signature quote! As for the game, I will pick it up again on Friday. I am trying to raise Slakoth up to Slaking.The reason is to fill the Pokedex not to use for battle or anything. Slaking due to his sleeping ever few moves is useless. Vigoroth is more effective IMHO.

team:
Swampert
Blaziken
Mightyena
Swellow
Gardevoir
Manetric

I raised Golem in Diamond. I think he is a good alternate if you raise more than six. Also, rock smash is a good move to teach it to balance it against weeknesses.

It's not really graphics, but the ability to play games in 3D, which I agree is unnecessary. Although, I'd say the big issue with the 2DS is that it has a pretty uncomfortable design for most games. It's probably OK for Pokemon or something similar, but if you ever have to use the triggers that thing feels awful. I don't have particularly large hands, but I just find it too cramped.

Anyways, DR, if you're gonna get a 3DS may as well wait a bit. The "New" 3DS (awful name) will probably be coming out sometime this year.

I saw it as a money saving alternative as its just the ability to play the games that are new as the reason to upgrade. At the moment I have Alpha Sapphire, Super Smash Bros. 3DS, and Ninja Turtles (1st Nick game). Does it make a difference on Mario Kart if I were to get that for 2DS this weekend?

If you can dodge roll and grab in Smash without it feeling uncomfortable I say go for it, but I personally can't play very many trigger-heavy games on the 2DS. The odd shape of the entire unit is sort of uncomfortable to be honest.

I'm not surprised people are confused with the 3DS "Family" as Nintendo calls it, I have a friend who bought a 2DS thinking it was the better deal since it could play both 2DS and 3DS games, thinking that 2DS is like some type of successor to the 3DS (he did own a normal DS) I didn't have the heart to tell him there were no "2DS" games. And this was a "gamer" not just some average person. Anywho this same friend has an Eon Ticket so I just need to street pass with him.

Well I bought Alpha Sapphire so I wouldn't lose my chance to get the shiny beldum and since Pokemon games don't lower in price. I don't remember if I mentioned it but I never finished Ruby or Emerald which I also own but I think I want to finish those games first before this one so I can transfer my Pokemon, and I'm fairly close to finishing those, stopped at around 7 badges. I'll just finish the sepecial demo to transfer my stuff, get the shiny beldum. I still have my dream of having a legit living Pokedex, I'd only be missing a few of the event Pokemon given during Platinum/Black/White since I didn't own those games when they were given out. But its only like 4 I'd be missing including Arceus which I had in the Dream World but lost..I'm sure they'll be distributed eventually and probably before I catch all the others so they can be kept in Pokemon Bank to rot for the rest of their lives. Which today I was asked to update Pokemon Box, I was pretty excited until I read it was only for compatibility with ORAS. The app really needs an update but it wasn't even advertised much with ORAS I just hope its never gotten rid of.

I think Houndoom is more effective than Mightyena because it has better stats and fire/dark is a good typing. I found Manetric to be better than Luxray, as I thought Luxray had a bad movepool at the time (I used Manetric in the original Sapphire and Luxray in Diamond). I agree that Golem is a good Pokemon (he's underrated and I last used him in Emerald. I have used Ampharos in most Pokemon games, as it is good for catching Pokemon and is a strong electric type. I never used Breloom until Alpha Sapphire, but it seems to be a good grass/fighting type. It's done well against Team Aqua and Norman's Pokemon.

I have a habit of going with the obvious ones but at times have branched out to other Pokemon during regular gameplay. Bedlum and Raltz are my experiments at the moment.

I thought you would say Houndoom because of the duel types but I was expecting Luxray over Manetric. Those two are too close to Luxray being Manetric's next generation analog. As for Mightyena I thought there might be some stat advantage of using it over Houndoom to make up for being a single type.


I always start with water Pokémon. Does anyone else usually stick to a type when starting the games no matter which version it is unless its two games of the same generation and you start with another? Squirtle, Totodile. Mudkip, Piplup and Squirtle and Mudkiup again in Leaf Green and Alpha Sapphire.

Then you have the "My uncle works at Nintendo and he says that mew/legend is catchable if you do [] amount of times. I completed the pokedex too" kid. He moved away two years ago.

See, that made sense when we were kids because the internet was still in its infancy. But now...the internet is a thing and you can check if that kid is full of doodoo in like, 2 seconds.

It's pretty convincing when you're in 3rd grade and someone tells you his uncle works for the "pokemon factory" and is making robotic pokemon to play with. I was hyped for a tangela (my favorite pokemon for some reason) robot for 2 days straight.

I am bad because I like making half my team the starters of the generation. :oops: The main bird, an electric, and usually a strong physic to round it out but I got to the point of raising two reserves to alternative to cover myself against as much as possible. Never really raised any legendary aside from Mewtwo because I thought it would be cheating as I already had the starters.

I don't see what's wrong with using the three starters. It's not cheating because they're still ordinary Pokemon. Don't feel bad.

I remember the rumor of Johoto Pokémon being on the fenced off area next to Pallet Town as well as Bill's Forest. It turns out its nothing but rumors. However as a 7th grader it was possible with the 2nd generation forcoming at the time. The Missingo rumor was the only true one. I encountered it out of curiosity and to catch Kangaskhan.

For me it was only one weekend that I was fooled into thinking you could catch Mew. This was still 1998 and I read on some tripod site a very well detailed logical guide on how you could get to into the grass next to Pallet Town and catch Mew but over the weekend I kept finding other ones for a lost city and other crap and realized it was fake. I never believed any other rumors again but I was fooled for an April Fools Joke in 1999, I don't remember what magazine but I never thought a magazine would have a bogus secret and counting I didn't read it on April 1st I had no idea and it was relatively innocent since it mentioned you could get Yoshi by having a Dragonite that you raised in a specific way, get to the Unknown Dungeon and use a thunder stone and it would change into yoshi, he still had the same stats and Pokedex entry but his sprite would change to Yoshi and it had a screenshot. I do miss the days of people talking about Pikablu, I kind of think they missed the boat on him since they could've easily marketed him much more and made Marril into a bigger fan favorite instead of trying and failing to promote Pichu.

When I play through the games I try to use new Pokemon introduced in/from that Generation only. I only use older Pokemon if they have a new evolution in that Generations (otherwise it would be almost impossible in GenII). This restriction makes me use a bunch of Pokemon I wouldn't otherwise as 2 or 3 slots would probably be taken by Pokemon from other gens. Counting I didn't played very little in B/W I had to look up from time to time online to make sure I wasn't using a B/W Pokemon while playing X/Y.

I finally got my shiny Beldum and Glalie on my Alpha Sapphire game, I don't know how much more of the game I'll play currently, I was glad May/Brendan kept their original names and not that nonsense Orlando crap from the special demo. I also realized why I never finish any Pokemon game, I literally spent 40 minutes from beginning to when you get your Pokedex just talking to NPCs and trying to catch all the Pokemon in each area. That new feature of "all caught" is really handy though and saved me some time. So my OCD for catching all the Pokemon in one area and talking to all the NPCs makes me spend 4 times as much as it should in each location and I bore myself.

Pretty sure you have to find a green shard and bring it to the guy in between Lilycove and Mossdeep (in the little hut or whatever). He'll give you a stone to correspond with the color of the shard you bring him.

I got a Snivey by Wonder Trade so I put the duplicate starter up for trade in the GTS system. Thought why not go for a long shot for the new Eevolution,Sylveon. About an hour later a level 1 duplicate starter turned into a level 53 Sylveon. Something about that seems uneven but I can't complain. I followed it up for a bolder attempt. I just evolved Vigoroth into Slaking. It was only for the purpose of filling out the Hoenn Pokedex as Slaking seems useless to me. I asked for Latios and shockingly got one in return when I awoke this morning.Anyone else get lucky with trades like this?

I'm always suspicious of legendary Pokemon from the GTS. Especially if you get one in return for a regular Pokemon. But I have gotten a lot of legit ones from GTS too...or at least they were good enough hacks to fool the pokebank when I traded all my good stuff last year.

Shiny Pokemon too.

Latios was at level 43 opposed to level 30. The stats looked in line with those that would be at that level and the experience to the next was about a third of the way to level 44 already. I am pretty sure its real. I am just surprised a Slaking for a Latios is a good deal for someone. Glad it is. Same with the earlier mentioned Sviney level 1 for Sylveon at level 53 deal.

I need to figure out where the sixth gym is in Fortree City. Its a bit of a maze. That will be this weekend's goal.

You can literally walk straight into the Safari Zone and run around to your heart's content. No entry fee or requirements whatsoever. (You'll need both bikes to access all the TMs, though - which is a whole other procedure.)

You can get the remaining two starter stones from some dude on route 114. $1500 for each one. Can't buy them til after the Kyogre/Groudon event in Sootopolis.

Just go to where you caught a Ralts and catch a male one. Use the dexnav to make it easier. So bring up the dexnav in the area where the Raltses are, click on the picture of the Ralts, and then go to wherever the dexnav tells you to. You'll catch a male one eventually. Evolve that into the ballerina thing and then use a dawn stone on it.

Really? Psychic is one of my five favorite moves and the top Psychic move in the games since Future Sight of course takes two turns. I would not have thought that. I was surprised that the then level 28 Gallade did not come with Psychic.

Cure's right. Stick with Psycho Cut for Gallade.

And the majority of your Pokemon are phyical attackers, so Gardevoir (a special attacker) would balance that out a bit. Plus the types would even out more effectively (having Gallade means you have 2 Fighting-types and 2 Psychic-types). So I'd personally go with Gardevoir in your case, but Gallade isn't a terrible option by any means.

I am 100% offense. Strong physical attacks from diverse types and each types have only half of their attacks be of their type. Swampert for example has two water moves, a ground, and a rock. I guess if I ever do the international battling I would not make it far with such a strategy but it always kicks major butt in-game. I will sit Gallade aside for an after game training mission leveling him up. I like Gallade's type combo and look but Gardevoir is more effective overall.

I'm really interested in getting Alpha Sapphire. How does it compare to Pokemon X/Y? I never played Ruby and Sapphire when they originally came out, so this will pretty much be a new adventure for me. Granted I never played Gold or Silver either, but I gotta say, when I played SoulSilver it became one of my favorite Pokemon games.

I have a Torchic in my X/Y game, so that's one starter I can trade over into Sapphire. Between Sceptile and Swampert, which one do you think has the better stats/coverage? How about when mega-evolved?

MikeandRaph87
01-25-2015, 12:17 PM
From my experience Swampert is the best water starter of all the generations. Having a Mudkip lead your team and have Torchic brought over to assist Mudkip you should have most bases covered. That is what I did for my Alpha Sapphire team.

I personally found X/Y to be very forgettable; I enjoyed Alpha Sapphire exponentially more than those games, but nostalgia might have something to do with that. If you have the money to spare, I'd go for it.

Between Sceptile & Swampert, you're better off going with the latter, in terms of type coverage. You'd only have Grass to look out for. Likewise for their mega evolutions.

I think X/Y is better than Alpha Sapphire but not as good as SoulSilver. My opinion could be down to nostalgia, though. XY had a better selection of wild Pokemon like Mareep and Houndour. I find XY and AS to be a bit boring in comparison to SS. I believe Swampert has the best type coverage of the Hoenn starters.

Thanks guys, all of this advice really helps my decision in getting this game and figuring out my starter. Although I didn't think I would like Mudkip, it seems that Swampert turns out to be my best bet as opposed to Treecko. I'll throw Blaziken into my team to be my fire/fighting, unless there are other fire Pokemon to consider.

Groudon looks like the toughest to obtain in Alpha Sapphire. What would be a good trade for him/her without giving up another Legendary? I have 141 at the moment in Honnen Pokedex. Aside form Groudon what are the other hardest ones to obtain in Alpha Sapphire?

To answer the above I think Arcanine is a good second choice for a fire type in the Honnen Pokedex but Blaziken is the best overall Fire type choice. If you need a grass type move Raltz evolutionary line can cover as it knows a couple grass type moves like Magical Leaf. In the original I used Vileplume as my grass type in the team.

Yeah, good point. The other fire Pokemon just don't interest me enough in the Hoenn games. I've always wanted to see what Blaziken can do, especially since he's fire/fighting like Emboar.

I happened across a guy who kept firing out one level 100 Darkrai after another for a lot of random fully evolved Pokemon that of course were non-legendary. It was gone in seconds. I traded away a Magnezone and Vileplume and yes the Darkrai were in deed clone exact same states, nature, and ability. I got a second one to barter for a Celebi. It looks like Mew, Arceus,Shaymin, Victinci, Melotta, and Genesect are the ones that are impossible. I was going to add Manaphy but in a trade with a passerby he agreed to getting an Amphros I had been mass prodicing through egg hatchings in exchange for a pretty god Manaphy. It is possible like my Darkrai it is a clone but you never know. While the GTS system may be full of bugs their are too many legendary/mythical Pokemon. 40 already! Enough with the legendary trios or quartets! A Mewtwo or a Mew equivalent is all that is necessary a generation/region.

Do let me know how to get the above mentioned ones that seem impossible to obtain.

Well you can't really start over without pissing off a big part of your fanbase, with Ruby and Sapphire you had people who were mad but the technology wasn't there to do it and it was only two generations, I mean we're talking about how many event Pokemon? Mew, Celebi, Surfing Pikachu, Amnesia Psyduck is all I can remember. You'd been able to trade from Gen III,IV,V many more years of collecting and event/legendaries which are dozens and dozens of them. Not to mention IV/EV training and shinies.

If given the option of no more hacked Pokemon ever and a promise of all Pokemon from X/Y onward being transferable through Bank if we started over from scratch in X/Y, I personally would've been ok with it but even then hacked Pokemon were bound to happen eventually. I do wish Bank had been a bit stricter.

I've never traded using the GTS or even with other people, so I'm not sure how bad it is but I would guess it's not that bad. Event and shiny Pokemon are too rare and the player population is huge so I don't think there's enough hacked Pokemon to make a huge difference it just makes them a little more accessible. Which is Gamefreak's own fault for having so many uncatchable Pokemon in the game and making shinies so rare (i think this isn't true anymore for shinies). If they made more online events where everyone can participate then it'd be better.

I guess also if they are perfect hacks of event Pokemon and identical to legit Pokemon it isn't so bad either. I can honestly say that I don't own any hacked Pokemon since I've never traded online or with real people. I did use wondertrade a lot when X/Y was new but there were no hacked Pokemon when the game first came out and even then the only good thing I ever got on wondertrade was a tyrant so no worries there. What sucks is that I do have doubles of many legit event Pokemon, I'd love to trade them to someone who could give me other legit event Pokemon I've missed but likewise I'll never know if it's hacked or legit.

No, you've clearly missed out on this story, because it's way worse than you're implying. There are now enough of the "rare" Pokemon to justify calling them common in every way possible. These aren't hack Pokemon that require work to obtain. They're Pokemon ANYONE with a pre-New 3DS can summon forth from the ether using the 3DS camera. There are entire communities now dedicated to creating every variant of every Pokemon as a QR code, which is infinitely scannable and usable in game without any of the downsides of using hacks. They are fully legitimate Pokemon in the eyes of the game. Those event Pokemon you've had for years? They're as worthless and common Zigzagoon.

The entire trade community is totally f*cked. No Pokemon has worth anymore.

I personally don't consider that a problem... for me, the joy in the games is battling, and it's much easier to just get obtaining the perfect Pokémon I want to train out of the way.

Well they really f-cked up then, especially since there goes the "catched in X/Y" diamond check as well. And with Pokemon Bank unable to do anything about it they'll be there for perpetuity since it's what it was created for. Kind of ******, but I still think that as bad as it may get it's still the hardcore few who are doing it no? What percentage of the hardcore people use the GTS? 50%? I think that's a bit high.

If I wondertrade for a few minutes would I constantly be getting event/shinies or is it still mostly crap? When did this start? Wouldn't this be able to be patched in?

I still think if this is patched it wouldn't be a huge problem and it would just make some event/rare Pokemon more abundant but still keep rarity but that's just me calculating things without actually touching the game and seeing what's happening. And I disagree Netkeeper, these things do kill the game since it makes a part of the game not be fun anymore. It's like giving you infinite lives in games like Super Mario Bros. or infinite bullets in Resident Evil

edit:ok I read up on it, apparently its been fixed. How long was the hack known for? It doesn't matter if a few people keep their 3DS's without the system update, give it a few months and the rarity is going to go back up on most Pokemon, I doubt it'll continue to have long term effects but I guess we can see what happens in a few months. It will definitely dilute the value of many Pokemon but they'll still be worth something.

I don't think it matters if they patch it, because with Nintendo hardware you're never forced into anything. I tried it this morning on my old 3DSXL and it worked fine. The communities still exist and doesn't look like they'll stop anytime soon.

And it's pervasive within the community. It's absolutely everywhere.

I am not into this elite gaming. I am simply trying to get as many Pokemon as I can toward Pokedex completion and chose which ones to raise in story mode and beyond. I do nor really understand how to determine IVs if low or high or what a QR Code is. All this stuff is too much outside the die-hards. I never even took part in a Pokemon Contest as it did not seem relevant to raising Pokemon.

If there is a way to help this specific gamer get a Mew let me know.

As for the Wondertrade it is mostly throw aways. The low level Pokemon found in X & Y and ORAS regions. I have received both an Areodactyl and Kabuto that way and a Zebstrika. The two fossil types were at level 20 while Zebstrika was at level 38. Starter Pokemon and different ones like Togepi and Kangaskhan freshly hatched.

I'm not into anything you're mentioning. I totally play Pokemon for kicks and not seriously at all. I don't give a sh*t about specific training technics or anything either. This isn't a "die hard" thing, it's a huge thing for casuals as well, like myself.

The fact that you don't know what a QR code is probably suggests a bit more about your particular stance than it does about the general Pokemon audience. Anyone who owns a smartphone knows what a QR code is.

EVs? IV? I know there is this thing where a number of 31 is set at first encounter or hatching that determines how strong a Pokémon will be. I could have weak Pokémon and have no idea.

It's more simple than people like to make it out to be. EVs are the previously hidden numbers that represent stat increases in a Pokémon. You can now see a Pokémon's EVs in the Super Training screen. You can change EVs. IVs are also hidden numbers, from 0 to 31, basically your Pokémon's genetics. These cannot be changed, but with a Destiny Knot any perfect IVs can be passed down to offspring. Friend Safari Pokémon are guaranteed to have at least 2 perfect IVs. I think things got even EASIER with that DexNav thing in ORAS, but I haven't played with it enough yet to know all the specifics. I do know you can catch Pokémon with Egg Moves in the wild with it, though.

This is outdated, but explains pretty well:
1u_37RK-mFA
And for updated tutorials, watch these: Breeding for IVs in X and Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-NnwzMKMx0); EV Training in X and Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwvEV-QlHwg). These are really useful for people new to the whole thing. IVs aren't even nearly as scary as they used to be.

Trust me, this **** has gotten super easy and well worth it. And for me personally, a load of fun and very rewarding. I've IV bred whole teams for friends before. I love it!

I have been breeding the mareep evolutionary line for trade purposes to place in the GTs to get the Pokemon I want in the Pokedex. Its porbably not the same even if I have breed 13 Mareep by now. You guys make me feel like an idiot. My team of 8 is at level 87 right now. Perhaps if I post their stats you tell me how strong or week they are.

If I want to trade with you how can I trade with a specific person states away? GTs does not let you chose the trade function and then their is the local wireless if you are in the same room. I guess this is what I get for not playing Pokemon 2010-2014. Swampert looks to be pretty solid but I am not sure with the others though I assume shinny Metagross is strong considering it was a Nintendo gift. I can post them tomorrow afternoon.

I am not entirely sure what you're trying to say. You can check with the guy in Kiloude City's Pokémon Center [in X and Y; don't remember where the person is in ORAS] and he can tell you if you have any maxed out IVs, if that's what you're wanting to know?

You have to exchange 3DS friend codes with the person you want to trade with. Then once both of you have done that, you can use the PSS screen on your 3DS' bottom screen and initiate a trade if both of you are online.

As for the IVs how much of a difference does it truly make if one is high and the other low?

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure. I know it's MUCH less significant than that of EV's and natures, but I don't know the exact numbers/ranges. I think it's between 5-20 points difference per stat (if even that...) - but again, I have no idea.

Charizard actually returned to Ash many times since he stayed at the valley in the beginning of Johto. It returned in the 3rd movie to battle Entei, during the 8th Johto Gym to battle Claire, during the Johto league to battle Gary and Harrisson's Blaziken, during Hoenn to battle Articuno in the Battle Frontier, and again at the end to battle Pyramid King Brandon. Its return in Unova was its 7th return.

I stopped watching the anime after the first Hoenn episode but did catch the Articuno vs Charizard battle and the Fab Four reunion against the last Battle Frontier. I was referring to the Unova return which was to Ash's rotation. I was surprised with the idea he was forever stuck in the Charisific Valley even if he and Squirtle are still available just not for regular appearances.

I just realized all of the Black/White anime is up on Netflix along with the movies so I may start watching that. Last episode of the anime that I saw was actually the premier/first episode of Black/White. I know this series gets hated on but I'm more of a passive Pokemon anime fan that watches as I'm doing something else (hell maybe I'll be playing my copy of B/W as I watch and finally finish that game and be able to transfer my Pokemon to Bank), so I'm not really bothered if the quality isn't great or a bunch of fillers are in it. It is my lifelong goal to eventually watch all of the Pokemon anime. I've watched the Kanto League/Orange League and Hoenn League entirely. For Johto I'm only missing the first third, for D/P-B/W-X/Y I'm missing it all, so i still need to catch up. I like the anime for what it is a way to see animated Pokemon and cool fights/plots from time to time and don't consider it this great show so I'm able to enjoy it..

In other Pokemon related news the Pokemon Symphony is going to be coming to my City in October, this is great news and was hoping they'd expand their dates worldwide like the Zelda concerts, it's going to be amazing.

You went the route I got to the point of doing, more than 6 raised through the game to cover all types and maintain a strong team despite number limitation of what can be carried at one time. I wish we would be allowed a 7th slot in the next generation just because there are so many now and it would be the seventh generation.

I see you have your Swampert as one of your reserves. I have a habit of using two to three starters in my rotation each generation. You are a bit heavy on the water types but it looks strong and balanced well enough overall.

Seeing this post reminds me to dust off my Alpha Sapphire game. Its been untouched for two weeks.

They're talking about trading VG pokemon and not TCG cards. As far as Pokemon cards I'm probably the expert here since I've worked for and judged many events for The Pokemon Company. Sadly if your cards are from the Wizards of the Coast(the fad) era most of them are worthless, after that it really depends but unless it's an EX probably not worth a lot if anything.

No mine are from 95/96-99. Some are "Pocket Monsters" which have Japanese writing.

and some are made by Nintendo Creatures Gamefreak. The wiki doesn't mention Nintendo Gamefreak, they do mention Wizards of the West Coast, Nintendo. Not sure if there is a difference.

If you have the willingness, I'd love to share with someone of your knowledge. I doubt I have anything of value but it would awesome to find out.

I agree that there should be a 7th slot, as there are so many different type combinations as well. I finished New Mauville and explored parts of Sea Mauville.

Lugia was too hard to catch in SM (I don't need it for my team anyway), so now I'm just training my Pokemon a bit before I face the Elite Four. I found that some Trainers in Secret Bases give good EXP.

I wasn't a fan of Mauville's redesign, either. Putting a massive shopping complex in the most passed-through intersection of the region? Admittedly, it doesn't sound like TOO bad of an idea, since it's convenient in case you need some advanced items (?) whilst in the area...but I wasn't a fan of having to navigate through that thing so often. And the fact that the entire upper floor was pointless aside from a TM or something. Also didn't like that the city itself was literally just a massive building.

My first impression was hopeful and that all they did was make it an indoor city, which would have been pretty cool... but in 2 seconds I learned that was not the case and there was a huge problem.

When I first arrived in Mauville, half my team was dead, Wally wanted to fight me, and I had to run all the way back to Slateport because I couldn't find the damn Pokémon Center and I didn't want to deal with a frustrating layout with terrible camera angles and all sorts of useless fluff. I kept running into signs that would ONLY tell me where the cycle shop and gym are. Nothing else. They seriously could have thought this over better.

Beat the Elite Four and the Delta episode, then I went back and emptied a bunch of dungeons I left behind earlier [the abandoned ship, New Mauville, Scorched Slab, Shoal Cave, etc] and basically all I have left is the Trick House and awakening the Regi's. Saving the latter for last.

Right now I'm waiting for O Power energy to refill while fighting the Elite Four a second time because the game didn't let me save before fighting Deoxys and I accidentally KOed it, but it respawns after beating them again. Just in case anyone around here isn't aware, the second time around their levels are above 70. After I'm done with that I'm going to use my prize money to buy the remaining buyable TMs and level up my Paras so I can use it to catch legendaries on the mirage spots [spore + false swipe, man].

Thinking about attempting to complete the Pokedex or at least get very close to it thanks to the DexNav telling me what I do and don't have in a specific area. It's so insanely useful. I mean, I'll have a really good Pokemon to go around catching stuff with, so why not.

Ruby and Sapphire were my favorite of all the pokemon games, and after beating the sapphire remake, I have to say I am impress, I think I have a new favorite pokemon game, and its the remake, sadden by the fact my 2nd favorite game is ruby and Sapphire, follow by the Gold Silver series, Than the Diamond and Pearl games, than Red and Blue, not to say Gen 1 was bad, I loved all the games, but Pokémon just got better later on. And I was playing Pokémon since day 1.

Now don't think I am odd, but I have a pattern of who to pick, In the gen 1 remakes, I still pick Red, Gen 2 Gold, and Gen 3 Brandon. With May being pick on Ruby just to see how the other sex plays.(Sapphire I got first)

I loved May in the manga so much, Or Sapphire as she was called, when I got into the remake, I said sorry Brandon, but May is so much cooler than you. A guy that just does contests and hardly battles and not beating gyms while Sapphire was kicking gym leader booty and taking names in the manga. (Sad but true) That when ask if I was a boy or a girl, I said girl lol. Yes, I am a big Sapphire fan, I was forced into the choice. Never before did I play as the other sex on a first time play though. When I get Omega Ruby, I will pick Brandon though.
Sapphire rules.

A thing I seem to notice as May in the game, I was doing super training(I am not sure how I feel on this, Its not as much work with Super training getting the needed EVs as it did with knocking out the right pokemon for said EVs. yes its easy, but I seem to lack the pride I did when I max out say Blastoise defense or Typhlosion Sp Attack, or what ever I was aiming at. Its just easy.

Back to May, my combusken was working on its speed during super training, using up the speed bags I got for doing the soccer training for speed. And May who is idle, just bends over and does a little twerk. I had to see it to believe it, but if May is not moving, she does a little booty shake.

I wonder what Brandon does when he is idle.

Yeah when I went on the GTS I saw a lot of, well non event pokemon for stuff like Mew or Hoopa ete.

I did not think there "fair" trades, but I did give up one of my legendary birds for a rain dish blastoise.

I was wondering if I did put a flash fire perfect or 5 iv typhlosion on the block, would I really get a hoopa or some other event pokemon in return.

Funny, I do have 2 event pokemon, celebi I think from Gamestop, that I got for gen 4. I dont recall, I pre order a game? And some how I got Celebi?? I do know it was gamestop, I than transfer it up to gen 5 in in black and white. and than I waited for the pokemon bank to finally get Celebi from Black up to RS.

The other one I recall more clearly, heart gold and soul silver was coming out, and I got the lugia mini toy plus Jirachi. I forget which one does Silver's backstory. But any way, I was able to bring them from Gen 4 up to gen 5. Than with Pokemon bank, gen 6 at last.

And I really hated gen 5's mini game for transfer, it took like forever to get the 2 in black. I had to get a luck shot in or something.

What can I trade to get a Shaymin or Meloetta? Aside from Mew those two are the only legendaries/mythical Pok'emon I need.

I have Mew, and once I get my White version back I can trade you one. They're legit Toys R Us event Mews, though I've cloned them in my Emerald version. That OK?

I am not sure if true or not, but is McDonalds really giving out Hoopas in a weeks time perhaps with the kids meal toys? Or something?

So its sort of like Gamestop when I pick up Celebi and Jirachi for Soulsilver and Heart Gold? I brought my DS with one of the gen 4 games, and I was able to pick em up at game stop in 2011 I think.

And Celebi and Jirachi was not easy to get to gen 6, because of that dumb mini game in gen 5. It took me 20 or so mins to get them both because they like to hide in the bushs and never came, I was glad I finally got a sleep cloud and nab Celebi, but Jirachi escape. So I had to replay the mini game again, and this time I nabb Jirachi.

From Black 1 to the Pokemon bank, to AS was the easy step.

Just a trade through X/Y/ORAS, whatever game you have.

Well every since getting ORAS, my search is over. I got all 3 hidden Ability Kanto starters. Raindish Blastoise, Chlorophyll Venusaur and the hardest one to find, Solar Power Charizard, That one took forever with out some event pokemon asking for trade.

I have a copy of Alpha Sapphire. I can give you my friend code if that is what I need to for direct contact between games. Mew is one of the three legendary/mythical Pokémon I find to be almost impossible to pick up.

What is the difference of a mythical Pokémon from a legendary Pokémon? Also, the number is over 50 now. Does anyone else think there are way too many legendries for a Pokémon in such a status to be special?

It will be the first thing I ever have seen subbed opposed to dubbed, but that is unimportant if I can see it.

I am willing to borrow a mew just for dex purpose, I really have no need for one in battle, since legendries are ban for play, The thing is every time there is a new game, your going to get your version legend, the super legend of the gen(Mewtwo for gen 1, ete) and than the event legend, and over time that will add up.

Perhaps there is 2 many legendries, but I want the next gen to over there own legendries also, other wise its not a pokemon story with some legend plus evil gang, doing massive damage.

I like the idea of having one of all 53 legendaries even if only about three would be used. I am not a competitive battler. Though I do raise a team and have reserves all boosted to 290 with a solid snd diverse offensive moveset.

I am, so I do a LOT of breeding, after beating the game, I just breeding for moves, natures, ivs, and once I get what I am looking for, than I start ev training the pokemon, when that is done, I start the level to 100 process, than he or she is battle ready.

I think my best pokemon I ever breed was my perfect iv sheerforce Feraligatr with dragon dance, waterfall, ice punch and crunch.

I have taking this feraligatr to the unranked matches on line, were every one has a team of legendaries lol, and here I am with no legendaries for the most part, I do thown in a Mewtwo every now and than.

But its amazing, I seen my Feraligatr get a dragon dance in, take a massive hit, and pretty much sweep the others guys legends. Its taken down Mewtwos, Arcues, rayquazas when they dont mega, than I just have mega Blastoise to deal with that, and deoxys.

Its goting to a point in the online unrated matches, than when I see my foe thown out a deoxys, I really dont feel anything since I know my Feraligator can take it out with one hit. Odd I know, but I guess thats what happens when you spend a week breeding for perfect ivs.

That was supposed to be trainning a formidable team plus reserves to level 100. It's hard typing on this Android.:tgrumble:

I never understood the whole IV bit like I do natures. So I have high or low without ever knowing. Aside from raising 8 select Pokémon to their peak I like the idea of having a copy of all legendaries. Not going to even try to get all 720. 466 is my current total.

We can exchange Friend Codes in PMs in the next day or so. What do you want forvthe Mew clone?

Iv's are how just I say this, some one put it, you can play football every day of your life. Train ete, but your never going to be a Manning or a Brady and thats what ivs sort of means, We have the superstars iv pokemons and than the joes pokemon lol.
My Feraligator is not the only iv breed, so far I got a Blastoise, Typhlosion, Dragonite, Venusaur, that are perfect ivs, I am having no luck with Blaziken so far, I get 5 ivs, but some reason I cant hit that perfect 6 iv with him. I thinking about giving up on him and work on other project in mine, Gyarados, 5 ivs are still strong, and as long as the iv that is effected by the nature is not perfect, thats ok. Since its going to take a hit anyway.

First I have to sign up for the nes password, they gave me a password or something, but the internet was kinda of slow, that I didnt bother, I try again tonight. by tomrrow, I get the freind code thing,
I have no Mew lol, just saying I would borrow one just for dex and give it back lol.

Now I am at a dead in, I sign in at the pokemon link, and I have no ideal how to Game Sync my game card to my profile, the game card gave me a password,

but I keep going to my pokemon link profile, and cant seem to find were I put the game card password.

Think God for stuff like Youtube,

No way I would have gotting to the game card page with profile or searching around.
Now my card game May has been Game Sync.

guys who do rank battles for pokemon Global link, though AS/OR or X/Y

Seems some of my pokemon do not meet the standars to complete, I have a guess, because it took the process of taking out and putting in pokemon.

I though it was my Feraligatr or my Typhlosion,my heavy hitters on my team, but that was not the case, when it said some pokemon are not allow to complete.

Feraligatr and Typhlosion I breed perfect in AS, and they were able to get in. But it seems past gen pokemon from black and white and earlier cant get in, no matter the stats, my Gengar, ete.

I had my OR starter and Feraligatr and Tyhlosion complete, but I cant seem to get the pokemon I used for pokemon bank transfer to get into the ranked matches for some reason. No they are not hack.

Look for a PM with my Friend Code. I will happy to compensate however I can.

The only legendries/ mythical Pokémon I need now are Landorus, Melotta, Genesect, Keledo, and Mew. I am working on getting a Landorus through my Maeep evolutionary line breeding to be put up in the GTS. The others I have in my box 1 and 2.

What is the difference between a legendary Pokémon and a mythical one? It seems to be the same thing to me.
