That list is old, it was made before ORAS. Since then a couple of those have already made their debuts like Ghost/Psychic, Fire/Water, Grass/Dragon and Fairy/Dragon.

I want a terrifying mummy as a Fighting/Ghost.

That would be a cool alt evolution for Yamask.

There need to be more electric mixed typings in general.

Literally a third of all current electric typings are exclusive to Rotom Formes. Electric/Fire, Electric/Ice, Electric/Grass, and Electric/Ghost .

Yeah, electric is one of the types I try to keep at least one of on my in-game teams and the lack of dual typings is an issue. My go-to seems to be Galvantula at this point. As much as I love it, it takes a while to evolve and Joltik is pretty drat weak.

I already have Omega Ruby, but I went ahead and bought X too because everyone was saying how great it is. This thread is a bad influence.

Also, apparently the Mythical giveaways are tied to cartridge and not DS account, so now I have two Celebis and will try not to use it to blast through the game this first run. But it's hard because Celebi :3:

Haha, was that you asking that? I liked the janitor in the help chat calling me a troll and not to worry about it when i said Nintendo can shut it down any time they want.


Anyway, the game seems to be made by pokemon grognards who think that stuff like removing the exp reward after failining a gym battle the first time and tripling the amount of exp required to level up after evolving a pokemon are good features. My advice is to play ultra safe so that you never lose a trainer battle or you will get way behind on xp and have to grind for hours to catch up. Also don't die too much because you lose 5% of your money each death and a bike voucher costs 75k

What's your in game name so i can friend you?

EoxSA, I'll add you once I get in. Yeah I was the one trying to say the beta distinction literally doesnt matter at all and if Nintendo finds out about this it's all over.

Find a bright light source (the flash LED on my phone works well) and try to shine it through the cartridge. If it's legit you should see that the plastic is not actually black but a deep, translucent red, like this. This is because Pokemon Black and White have infrared bits inside the cartridge used to communicate with other copies of the game. Bootleggers don't bother with those extra components to keep the cost of down.

Thanks for the advice. I accidentally clicked one without a box and was worried the game would be fake. After opening the package and putting my phone light up to it, I could see through the plastic. Nice/easy way to check for fakes.

edit: and now it's time to transport all the shiny/good pokemon on the save file to my bank before deleting the save.

This definitely sounds like a game that has learned lessons from the previous 15 years of game design, yes.

I found the thread you posted in about PRO's exp rates for evolved Pokemon, and yikes. Looks like no fun lies ahead for me in this game run by 15-year-olds who misread the way exp works in the games. I'll stick to cutesy kiddie MMOs made by adults.

The infuriating part is the illiterate 12 year olds who offer such eloquent counter arguments as "it's an MMO of course u gotta grind", "it's like that in nintendo games" (it isn't), "this game is by pokemon revolution team don't think everything has to be same" and "dont like it dont play".

I wish someone who can form a coherent sentence and is capable of reading a Bulbapedia article to understand how Pokemon systems work would take a stance against me so we can actually argue it out, but it seems everyone capable of that agrees that the system is loving stupid.


EDIT: Unless i'm misremembering how xp division worked in Gen 5 i think they hosed with that as well. If i lead with a level 10 paras and switch to a level 25 Shinx i don't think the Shinx should be getting twice as much xp as the Paras.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great change that I fuckin' clamored for, and would still be clamoring for if they hadn't done it, but muscle memory (or whatever it is) is a hell of a thing.

The worst part is when I go back to X/Y my new muscle memory doesn't work anymore. And then I unlearn it and then I go back to OR/AS and need to learn again.
