I get the feeling they didn't go with Emerald as the base because Emerald had a high density of Double battles and for some reason lots of people don't like Doubles even though there's a lot more "play" to it.

It sucks too 'cause like half the 'Mons in the region learn multi-battle format moves (Heal Pulse, Helping Hand, Wide Guard, etc...) and there's only a handful of main game fights that make them useful. :(

I miss Emerald. :gbsmith:

They didn't go with Emerald because Emerald was too different from Ruby and Sapphire with regards to the Team Magma vs Team Aqua story.

Don't forget some secret base npcs will gather stones for you which can get you evo stones. Completely random but it's something

My strategy in X/Y was to breed a ton of oshawotts (or basically any starters not from X/Y/ORAS) and put them up on GTS for the evo stone pokemon, people go apeshit over those :shobon:

I'll probably do that in this since I mostly want to fill out my pokedex and don't give a poo poo about battling

That's according to metalkid's iv calculator. Does anyone have a better/different one?

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the att and def mostly. I plan to keep this one since I hit a high enough defense and 20-21 Att is good enough.

Also, I used an Abra with Jolly and Synch to hit this nature and am basically guessing it's Jolly because I haven't finished the other battles.

Since Jolly affects both SpA and Speed, and they're both two of the three 31s, yeah it's got to be Jolly.

E: Holy poo poo someone just wonder traded me a shiny Bold Feebas with four egg moves, 6 perfect IVs, fully trained in HP, Def and the leftovers in SpDef, holding a prism scale, nicknamed 'Seraphina'. It's obviously hacked but I couldn't give less of a poo poo.

The saddest thing about Gamefreak hating to reuse aspects is the lingering fear that Delta Episode will be the last time they attempt to write a story. Delta Episode was the best part of ORAS, Gamefreak, just like having actual characters was the best part of BW, stop ignoring the poo poo you do right.

In other news, Deoxys is meant to respawn on Sky Pillar if I stupidly didn't realize that Mega Rayquaza would OHKO it, right? It just will not reappear at all. Am I doing something wrong?

Delta Episode is beyond awful and I hope they never do anything like it again. The thing they do right is design cool monsters you can feed cupcakes too and then use to beat the poo poo out of your friends cool monsters.

I'm thinking of getting Alpha Sapphire since I got Ruby in the past. What do people think of the updated story and its differences between versions? From what I can tell, key story differences that are just better in OR would be the only thing to sway me from AS, as I already have most of the exclusive pokemon, and the megas aren't split.

Dragon Ascent OHKOes Deoxys, it's fragile as hell. I guess being intelligent enough to predict this and using something else will get you OHKOed instead?

Rayquaza vs Deoxys is just a fight between two glass cannons, I guess. One trying to save the world while unfitting music plays, the other trying to just fall and maybe kill everyone, I dunno.

I hope we get to go to space again, going to space is cool and just being there for one cutscene and one battle was not enough for me.

Pokemon-Amie is boring as hell once you get over how cute it is. I used it to level faster so Winona wouldn't murder my mono-Grass team, otherwise I wouldn't have touched it in OR at all, Y gave me more than enough of it to get bored of it forever.

Delta Episode lets you ride a dragon god to space and destroy a meteor and save the world, plus follow a plot that isn't "beat eight gyms and then the champion, evil team does everything between the 7th and 8th Gym" for once. Zinnia is not well written, but apart from that the whole thing's great and unique for a series that, as incredibly fun as it is, has a bad habit of repeating itself over and over again.

I'd still like to have an actual story with actual characters the whole way, though, instead of remembering there's a story between the second to last and last Gym, and apart from that doing the same old tired thing again. But I guess Black/White will not happen again, so I just get happy when Gamefreak shows they actually have a grasp of how to write characters (Looker missions in XY) or story (Delta Episode in ORAS), even if it's just post-game.

Zinnia being poorly written is a pretty big problem when the entire plot is carried on her shoulders. All you do is follow her around and watching her carry out the plan she inexplicably refuses to explain until the last minute. There's no tension at all since you can tell she is correct about everything right from the start. The second her plan actually doesn't work, the tension is immediately diffused by the hunk of rock you've been carrying around for half the game. Its pointless.

I'd like a Pokemon game with a good story, but I'm not gonna pretend Delta Episode is anything like that. Its garbage writing on top of garbage gameplay. All it did was delay my trip to the Battle Resort.

My Mega Rayquaza attacked before Deoxys. Maybe you got really unlucky with the speed of yours? Mine doesn't even have a +Spd nature.

Be careful with how you're breeding. I think Everstone passes down the ability apart from nature, so if the father has that it might be the reason. Something like that happened while I was trying to breed a Druddigon, and I kept getting Inner Focus instead of Rough Skin (on the other hand, I ended up getting a shiny out of it, so it was well worth it). Of course, I might also be totally wrong, I can't find anything that backs up my claim. I might just be horribly unlucky.
