Hey guys,

I just got a New 3ds XL. Haven't owned a handheld console since I played Pokemon Yellow on my GameBoy Color

I want to get back into the Pokemon games. What game should I start with, Omega and Sapphire?

X and Y have a better singleplayer campaign, but Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have a better post-game and are basically necessary if you want to get into multiplayer. There's no wrong answer, however.

Yellow to reunite with old friends that you can bring with you to Sun/Moon. And X/Y to catch up on the latest gen before the new games hit.

IT'S YA BOY
if you're really only looking for a nostalgia kick, yellow is fine, but x/y and or/as are so, so much better, in terms of literally every aspect of the games. x/y are the better reintroduction for a lapsed fan, though, and i think i'm in the minority on this, or/as is a better experience.

Is that freedom rock? Well turn it up!
I don't know how you guys felt about it but I really liked the trainer rematches in HGSS. You'd see like Bugcatcher Wade go from a level 8 Caterpie to 4-6 mid 50's awesome bugs. Kinda made the world more 'real' when other trainers were levelling up and expanding their teams. Also the Gym Leader rematches. I know it'll never happen but each generation I secretly hope for that to come back. Hell I'd even take a VS Seeker again.

the rematches in oras are way better than hgss because they don't require a phone

ORAS had the "Trainer's Eye" feature of Dexnav, which unlocked rematches with trainers. The return of gym leader rematches would be great, though.

I got X! (and OR :P, but will play X first).

I'm eager to play again... but, I now have to wait 2 hours for Amazon to send me the codes.

Thanks for the recommendations, guys

You guys whine about not seeing shiny pokemon, I haven't seen a wild Feebas since 2002. Every Milotic I had since has been born from that one.

Bulbapedia posted:

In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Feebas may be found normally in any tile and with any rod, but their rate of appearance is low in most parts of the route. However, if the player fishes in the water under the bridge by the Weather Institute during the daytime, Feebas will appear in those tiles 100% of the time. This also happens when the player fishes in the water close to the stone northwest of Pokémon Ranger Catherine, near the route entrance, during the nighttime.
Once hooked, Feebas is fairly easy to catch, with a catch rate of 255.

I'm playing through Soul Silver to catch some remaining legendaries for my AS pokedex. I can't wait to go back to the new games and not have to deal with phone calls from Joey about rattata or the completely insane encounter rates.

Hey thread, I recently bought my first handheld console ever and have been playing Pokémon X and Alpha Sapphire. I'm currently going through the latter with an all-Dark team and it's been really fun.
Feel free to add me (Gus 3540 3594 5850) as I currently only have one acquaintance with the games and I'd like to have more people to trade with.

There's a trade thread in private games. You can get pretty much anything you want. I'll be lurking next weekend with boxes of rare and shiny things I cloned to give away.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Morality check: First pokemon on Route 45 happened to be Raikou, threw an ultraball and caught it first attempt. According to Nunzlocke rules it counts, but it's still a roaming legendary. About to face Clair

Current team:
Oddish (Level 14)
Kingler (Level 23)
Gyrados (Level 31 -- Caught as Magikarp with old rod)
Golem (Level 40)
Hypno (Level 33)
Fearow (Level 27)

If I keep him I can probably beat the Elite 4, if I don't use him I'll probably wipe at Claire.

If you ran into a roamer as a first on a route, and caught it in an ultraball try one, you should deffo use it.

Heart Gold loving sucks as a Nunzlocke, grinding is painful because everything is 10 levels or worse lower than the next gym.

The only thing I can do is grind up this Gyrados with Avalanche in hopes of OHKO her dragon types otherwise

Good news friends, I kept Raikou and beat Clair without losing anything!

Bad news friends, I wiped on Ho-Oh because Golem missed literally 7 Rock Blasts (80% Accuracy) in a row and I got critical hit by two Sacred Fires in a row. Everything else I had was more or less under-leveled compared to Ho-oh and I just wiped completely out. I've got SOME pokemon in my box right now I can fall back on but there's no way I'm going to re-train a bunch of level 20 pokemon for 30 hours to go fight the Elite 4.

So ends my journey in Pokemon Heartgold.

So I restarted my Y file. I just got to the part where you wake up Snorlax. I've been playing these games since the original Red and Blue, never caught a Shiny before, and I just found a Shiny Blue Flabebé. I caught it in my last of 2 Premiere Balls, and it's a decent nature (Calm) to boot!

Let's hope its IVs aren't garbage, but hopefully Sun/Moon can correct that anyway.

I named her Prudence (After "Dear Prudence.") :3:

Edit: Holy poo poo.

Copy & Paste Results
Flabebe - #669 (Calm)
HP: 12 - 19
Att: 24 - 30
Def: 30
SpA: 28 - 31
SpD: 30
Speed: 9 - 15

:stare:

I might play the lottery tonight.
