[Handheld] Pokemon X/Y and Alpha Centari with Beta Ray Bill
- Thread starter Ravenpoe
- Start date
I'm just gonna treat this as a general Pokemon thread. New games drop in a week, and while there are the expected legendaries from the original Ruby and Sapphire, there's a shit-ton of others as well:
Pretty much if you've missed anything from Diamond/Pearl forward, aside from the box art ones (Palkia/Dialga, Ho-Oh/Lugia, Reshiram/Zekrom) you'll be able to catch it for your Pokedex in this game. And of course, X/Y have the gen 1 legendary birds and Mewtwo.
I was going to just buy the cartridge for this game so I could sell it in a year when the next Pokemon game comes out, but this looks like it's going to be the definitive game for gen 6 and I'd rather download it so I don't have to wonder where it is if I have Persona Q or Mega Man Zero Collection in my cartridge slot.
Also, for those who haven't played the demo, moving around is a lot more fluid in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. Whereas X/Y movement was either slippy on the skates or jerky on foot, OR/AS has full all-directional movement when walking around ... you know, like a real modern video game. It's refreshing and is going to make it difficult to go back to X/Y's weird semi-tank state.

This will be my first time with Hoenn (where I actually finish it) and I'm looking forward to it.
Fuck tomorrow. One hour, six minutes.
Laughing my ass off in the first 2 seconds of the game.
You so funny, Nintendo.

I don't either, that's how Ruby/Sapphire's supposed to look!
*I think it's the retro graphics.
That's what you see as the start of the new games; i.e. no improvement. Then there's a twist!
Your character is fiddling with some handheld electronic, using it to talk to Professor Birch and use the map, and it has the same graphic capability as the Gameboy Advance.
On the legendary front--in addition to all those legendaries listed earlier, the box cover ones are also in this game; they're just version exclusives. Ruby gets Ho-Oh, Palkia, Reshiram, and of course Groudon, while Sapphire gets Lugia, Dialga, Zekrom, and Kyogre.
Everything in-game legendary is here except the gen 1 and gen 6 legendaries.

So, I think I'm going to wait to take on the Elite 4. There's a not-so-rare game freeze glitch that can occur right after you complete the game, and in some cases, it's bad enough to wreck the save. It's basically the new Luminose City glitch, but far more difficult to avoid. The patch comes out early December, so it's not a long wait, at least.
I'm waiting too ... that's totally why I'm still not to Lavaridge.
Breloom is such an underrated Pokemon. I love it.
Technician Breloom with Mach Punch and Bullet Seed is so sexy... it's basically saying to your opponent, "I'm going to hit you, and there's nothing you can do about it."
I've been using the DexNav to chain shinies. Got a shiny Wurmple on chain 55, got a shiny Numel on chain 20.
Hall of Fame glitch patch is up.
All I keep getting are Ralts. No one Wonder Trades anything of value except on Christmas Day, where you can usually count on some people putting out starters or other favorite, low level pokemon.
I've gotten some interesting Wonder Trades so far. Got a Bagon, which I'm pondering breeding and then adding to my in-game team. Also got a Fletchling, though unfortunately it doesn't have its hidden ability. Oh, and a Bidoof with its hidden ability Moody, which might be fun to abuse.
You could always farm BP and buy an Ability Capsule to switch that Fletchling's ability.
I don't know if it's different from how it was in X/Y, but in X/Y ability capsule could not give a pokemon their hidden ability.
Meh... it was worth a shot.
I am reminded that I wish there was a game where you could do contests or gym battles, and then the game splits objectives depending on your final goal. The other path could be a fun side quest for you if you want to try to do both in one game, but I always loved the idea of pokemon contests.

It's 5 dollars for an entire year. I'd say it's worth it just to transfer stuff from one game to the next, especially if you have nostalgic ones you want to keep or IV trained ones for competitive play.
