Support NeoGAF

[Dorsal Axe]

I just realised that the Zinnia/Episode Delta thing explains why

Spoiler

Mirage Spot legends use their original GB/DS music; they have literally been pulled in from the other generations' dimensions. Kinda warms my heart to know that Gen 2 is now canon again.

Also it's kinda freaky when you consider that

Spoiler

all previous gens are just video games in the Gen VI dimension. It's hinted right from the start.

 

[Charlie0108]

Does anyone with the game know if you can still evolve Feebas using that item they added when they ditch the contest stats?

 

[Dryk]

Only megastones Serebii has not found in OR are Garchompite and Lucarionite

I think we can both agree that those are probably both cases of "haven't located" rather than "version exclusive"

So the answer to your question is probably no.

Good. I'm more interested in this game again now that I don't have to deal with as much trading bullshit.

 

[Firestorm]

I'm going to hold another NeoGAF Pokémon Tournament for ORAS. When would be good? I don't expect to get a ruleset until early December so I was thinking maybe January 1st as a "start date"? We'll follow a similar format to last time (Swiss + Cut) so everyone will have probably a good six rounds minimum they'll get to play in.

 

[Spinosaurus]

just do it and join the club, all the cool people are doing it.

Might as well. My love for gen 3 might encompass my issues with the performance which really bugged me in X/Y. (Unless it's improved, but I'm not hearing good thing.)

You know what, fuck it. LUDICOLO HERE I COME

 

[Joqu]

But that's GF shtick, they like to troll. Recently: Volcanion in X/Y, Hoenn references, etc.

The Hoenn references actually amounted to something though, if anything it makes your chances look even bleaker.

 

[lord_of_flood]

Yeah, Smogon would never ban something from Ubers.

I thought they reversed that decision almost immediately due to vote tampering?

Regardless, from what I saw, it was super ugly. Kind of glad I had taken a break from competitive mons for a while in the middle of the XY meta, because it got very ugly after a while.

do it
you need to learn the new Pokemon Lore

 

[Maintenance]

Yay, just noticed that Smash Bros for the Wii U got me 2 5$ coupons, seems like my wallet will cry a little less today.

EDIT:

Yeah, I understand that, but it was obvious, like MM3D for the 3DS. Some things though just died, like the extra doors on the Power Plant in X/Y, for an example.

 

[Dorsal Axe]

I believe it has been reverted to the previous method of maximising the beauty stat.

Oh this will be fun. The last one was great, there were a lot of inventive teams set up. I am so in. We need to do this like yearly or whatever.

 

[Spinosaurus]

God dammit just remembered this game isn't coming out until next week for Europe.

Why must you torment me, Pokegods?

 

[Regiruler]

Sadly, not this time around. A lot of the new music features samples from the original GBA tracks instead.

Fucking hell.

daaaamn I should become a drug dealer.

 

[Deadman]

Any news yet on whether any of the post game legendaries are version exclusive?

 

[Seven Force]

Most likely will pass on getting this for the time being, but wow that

Spoiler

alternate world

stuff sounds super interesting.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Any news yet on whether any of the post game legendaries are version exclusive?

Ho-oh is exclusive to OR and Lugia is exclusive to AS

 

[DXLelouch153]

wait guys
does this mean were capturing our own legendaries from when we were kids?
0.o deep

 

[Maintenance]

Ho-oh is exclusive to OR and Lugia is exclusive to AS

Not another Ho-oh, for christ's sake. This bird is chasing me, there's no other explanation. I have one from Colosseum, another from HeartGold, another from Fire Red (I think?), and one gifted from B2, from that Dream Radar thingy.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Ho-oh is exclusive to OR and Lugia is exclusive to AS

Groudon AND Ho-Oh? Omega Ruby sounds more tempting now.

But Ludicolo ;_;

Spoiler

I'll just trade I guess

 

[crabhammer]

Gonna be pickin' up Alpha Sapphire tonight to tide me over until my amazon shipment of Smash comes tomorrow morning.

These are dark times.

 

[Dryk]

Does anyone know if a good spot for training has been found yet? The Battle Chateau was godly.

 

[Joqu]

Yeah, I understand that, but it was obvious, like MM3D for the 3DS. Some things though just died, like the extra doors on the Power Plant in X/Y, for an example.

See I know there's suspicious stuff in X/Y but you know they're gonna revisit Kalos and it's probably going to be sequels again if B/W is anything to go by so I expect them to address most of that stuff that way.

Plus outright saying the Battle Frontier is under construction is about as obvious as the Hoenn stuff if you ask me. .-.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I'm also rather conflicted on the starter. Swampert is my favourite but I wanna use other Water types, and I really hate his mega. Blaziken I don't like as much but his mega just tickles my fancy with the heavy muay thai influence.

Sceptile it is.

Spoiler

Or no starter

No starter, just get a Nuzlocke.

Spoiler

Yeah, I know they are called Nuzleaf. Or Seedot, if you want the first evolution.

I understand what you're saying, and I tried to be positive in the past, but I ended up hurting myself more. So now I just outright don't believe them, at all.

 

[Deadman]

Cool thanks.

I guess im going AS then.

January's good, yeah.

Looking forward to it. Will this be on Challonge or Battefy?

 

[spiritfox]

Speaking of tournaments, does anyone want to revive the gym league? It would be the perfect time for that.

 

[Busaiku]

So how would we go about getting Jirachi?

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Ho-oh is exclusive to OR and Lugia is exclusive to AS

Getting OR but...
Honestly, I always loved Lugia over Ho-oh.

 

[Spinosaurus]

Time for Pokemon Channel 2!

 

[winkelman]

27 first minutes pokemon omega gameplay
i want to live in us/japan

[Nori Chan]

How big is the download?

 

[Maintenance]

I think I found my team: Mudkip, Treecko, Torchic, Beldum, and 2 HM slaves. Yes, it will be facerolling, but I like them.

Time for Pokemon Channel 2!

Nah, we need a new Colosseum with a bonus disk.

Spoiler

Fuck those bonus disks.

How big is the download?

14,5k blocks I think.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Oh my God, the intro is so perfect. Nostalgiagasm. ;-; I love this game already.

 

[Gabeking]

Still would like an answer to my mirage island question lol

 

[PBalfredo]

I'm still good to go for the gym league. I got all my ghosts bred, trained and ready to bring over from XY.

 

[Jeff Vader]

To leave work early just to pick this up at midnight? Tough choices.

 

[Azuran]

I have to say that Brendan is such a terrible character. I guess I'll be using the female character for only the second time ever.

Omega Ruby, here I come!

This might sound dumb, but bear with me: if you're not being Brendan, doesn't that mean that you'll have to endure him actually talking to you? Or you just don't like his looks / etc?

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I always choose female.

my team:

breloom breloom breloom breloom Torchic something

 

[SparksterMeta0]

My body is ready for tomorrow!

 

[dakkumauji]

This might sound dumb, but bear with me: if you're not being Brendan, doesn't that mean that you'll have to endure him actually talking to you? Or you just don't like his looks / etc?

Basically there's no way to avoid this terribly designed character.

 

[Griss]

I agree with this, but I always want my pokemon's OT to always have my actual name on it. Would be weird playing as a female with a male name, and showing up as such to other players.

Shitty-ass Brendan it is, I guess.

 

[Azuran]

His face looks weird to me in this game. I also hate his stupid hat.

 

[Maintenance]

I liked him when his hair was white. Now he is just lame.

Spoiler

Yes it was white, don't argue with me

His face looks weird to me in this game. I also hate his stupid hat.

Hmm, I understand.

my team:

breloom breloom breloom breloom Torchic something

I thought about doing something based on a TPP team or my first Hall of Fame on Ruby team, but maybe I'll do that on Alpha Sapphire.

 

[HardRojo]

If I buy both versions I usually go with male trainer and my own name on my main game and girl and random (ex GF, don't tell her) girl name on the secondary game.

 

[Azuran]

Yeah, this is the part that's annoying me the most. I do the same and now I have no idea what to name my character :/

 

[Rnr1224]

I usually always play with the male avatar to represent myself but brandon's design is much worse now than in the original.
