Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

[Katie]

Except the event legendaries like celebi and Manaphy, I think a lot of the legends are catchable in ORAS. I know the D/P ones are, and deoxys, I think the Black/White ones are.

Lots of opportunity to finish your dex.


I've got mine complete save any further legendaries that are released in XY

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.

I got an Ampharos but I did not use it during the game play of getting badges and the E4. What is your take on Breloom? Never used that one.

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.

What's the best fire type in the game? I'm thinking of using camerupt.

[Cure]

Yeah, go with Camerupt. It can mega evolve, too.

What? That's awesome! I must've missed that announcement.

Blakizen is the obvious answer. The fire elements are really lacking in the third generation. I would say a second choice if Groundon, a two type Pokemon counts I guess Campurt would be the answer.

Blaziken is alright, I guess, but Camerupt is a volcano.

Also, you guys might be into it, but I don't like using legendaries like Groudon. Kinda detracts from it.

I love(d) my Camerupt, but he got boxed right after I clowned the E4 for the first time. Dropped him hot and brought in my post-game clean up crew full force. I think my shiny Ludicolo is the only one who's gonna break into that top 6 I've been carrying around for years.

Same. Those kids who have a full team of legendaries are the worst. I managed to win a few times though.

[Peanut]

I'm so glad that all these years later things haven't changed on that front. The kid with the full team of legendaries. God, I'm happy you're around, snake.

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.

You'll get your Tangela robot someday.

I am bad because I like making half my team the starters of the generation. 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 have a lot of reading to do.

I love that article. Pikablu is my favorite.

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.
