Pokémon Alpha Sapphire & Omega Ruby - Spoilers inside

PopePalpatine · 03-01-2015 6:06pm

I picked up Alpha Sapphire yesterday and I'm doing a proper Nuzlocke run this time. I've already lost Groot the Treecko. My additional rules are:

1. Due to their rarity, Max Revives are allowed.
2. Dead Pokemon must be wonder traded ASAP. Because of that, I'm quite worried about my Shiny Beldum.

Angron · 03-01-2015 6:13pm

Well most Nuzlockes do allow for a slight bending of the rules when it comes to shinies, so keeping it wouldn't be cheating if you don't use it when it's KO'd :P

T0001 · 03-01-2015 8:50pm

The rules of Nuzlocke allow you to keep Shiny pokemon

Banjo · 03-01-2015 8:56pm

It was a wondercard- you should never have accepted it!

Nuzlocke allows for anything you're comfortable with. Graveyard boxes, trading shineys to other games, releasing any pokemon that looks at you funny. Its up to you man!

This Delta episode is incredibly boring. It just feels so dragged out.

Thank heavens I'm not the only one who thought that.

I was so bored I caught rayquasa with the master ball to try speed it up ... And then who bloody turns up but deoxys :rolleyes:

So of course I had to turn it off, caught rayquasa the traditional way and fecked the master ball at deoxys ... I made a cup of tea while All the long winded cut scenes were playing.

To long and too much hoping from one place to another just to do grunt battle over grunt battle again and again ...

T0001 · 05-01-2015 4:22am

Why do the credits have to be 10 mins long........... I mean come on, we just gave up hours to get through the game and then they make us sit through those blasted credits of names no one can pronounce!!!

PhilBill · 05-01-2015 4:27am

Possibly the worst remake of a Pokemon game to date. Ruby and Sapphire were my favorite GBA games but damnnnn these remakes were useless! Just my opinion tho.

Wort part it can't be skipped nor can you turn off your ds because you'll be brought back to when you just bet Steven .... :rolleyes:

Angron · 05-01-2015 5:44am

Just so you know, though it's too late now: if you had beaten Deoxys without catching it, then all you had to do was battle the E4 again, and then Deoxys would have reappeared at the top of Sky Pillar.

T0001 · 05-01-2015 5:43pm

I think the Delta episode was a response to complaints about the lack of adventure post elite4 in X/Y. The games have gotten ridiciously easy this generation. While Im happy to see the Exp. Share working on al party pokemon, I think gym leaders and such should be much more challenging. Why not use pokemon with dual types in gyms early on and I don't mean geodude!!! Why could Brawly not of had a Combusken tather than a Machop? Look at the pokemon they could have given Norman, but they decide to give hima Vigoroth and 2 Slaking??

Angron · 05-01-2015 6:06pm

To be fair, if you don't see it coming those Slaking can be a nightmare. It's a great pokémon stats-wise, just with a deplorable ability. I think one of the main things that's let me down about the games though is that there's no way to re-battle the Gym Leaders like in Emerald. Overall though, I found the games very enjoyable (hence the fact that I've bought both).

How does one get an Eon Ticket? Is it through random Wifi events?

Street pass with someone who has it I think

Banjo · 06-01-2015 3:51pm

Keep connecting to WiFi. Not sure how many times a day you can do it, but at least once a day the game will let you get up to 30 Streetpass Hits by connecting to WiFi connection using the PSS. And if one of those has an Eon ticket, you're golden. If not... wait 8 hours or so. That's the cool down on normal Streetpasses. Otherwise, wait a day.

Open the PlayNav (on the touchscreen it's the screen with 3 horizontal stripes, yellow, pink and green)
Open the PSS - the Yellow section at the top
Hit the Wifi icon, or access any Wifi-using functions (GTS, wondertrade etc)
Wait ages.
Once you're connected a whole bunch of "Passers by" from around the world will appear - these are your hits. If they're lit up you can send them O Powers (little boosts to various game functions) to help them (and to level up your O Powers' abilities!), initiate battles and offer trades.

Wow I didn't know it could be online either. Makes mine feel a whole lot less special but great to get it nonetheless!

Looks like a Hoopa event will be coming at some point so.

sharmander · 15-01-2015 12:00am

Yyyaaayyyyy, it'll be nice to have the chance to have a Hoopa that isn't hacked!

im sure we wil get it just like diance

I'm hopeful they'll realise how awkward that was, and it'll just be a wifi event like the Beldum.

What voodoo is everyone using to "improve" their catch rate these days?

I've been steadily growing and shaping my list of baseless compulsions across the technologies and generations to the point that now when I throw a ball I have to hold Down and A until the moment the ball closes, then draw frantic circles on the touch screen in time with the shaking of the ball and finally tap it when it's meant to close. This doesn't appear to make any difference to my catch rate but whenever I don't do it and the ball doesn't close I feel like I've let myself down.

Am I the only one doing this?

Angron · 23-01-2015 2:41pm

Haven't since the days of RB with the old "B + Up means you always catch!" thing :pac:

PopePalpatine · 23-01-2015 3:16pm

IIRC in FR/LG there was a glitch where you could press B, A and Up when your Poke Ball was about to break, and it would work perfectly. The trick was knowing when it would break, though.

Angron · 23-01-2015 3:26pm

Urgh, getting Ralts on WT is getting almost as annoying as getting Zigzagoons or Wurmples.

I dont know they have their uses. I have a box of synchronise Ralts with nearly every nature. Makes catching things for breeding a lot easier!

Night-time dusk balls are about as good as it gets. ×2 an Ultra Ball.

Get out of here with your science! I'm looking for mumbo jumbo, thank you very much

+1 for synchronize Ralts. Much easier to get than the endless wandering around and waiting for nightfall to make Umbreons.

Angron · 23-01-2015 5:06pm

I'd agree if what I was getting was, in any way, useful. But I'm just getting someone's crappy level 3 trace Ralts they caught early in the game and who's just chancing it for something great. Almost as bad as receiving a level 2 Zigzagoon caught in a bloody Ultra Ball.

Angron · 24-01-2015 9:05pm

Urgh, Battle Maison is the most ridiculous load of cheating nonsense. AI predicting switches perfectly, hitting damn near every time with low accuracy moves, getting confused and hitting yourself 4 times in a f*cking row. It just deliberately stacks the deck against you from the get-go.

I ust hit my 100 win streak tonight :pac:

Super Triples is where its at! And you just "cheat" right back.

Open up Greninja, FEAR Aron, Chomp

Gre mat blocks, Aron Endeavours, Chomp SDs

Aron protects, Gre Ice-beam/Surf Chomp EQs/D Claws.

The AI foams at the mouth at the lv1 aron and tries to KO it at all costs.

Their is a new hack out which allows you to insert any pokemon into your game, without any additional hardware.

Banjo · 26-01-2015 2:41pm

Finally got around to the E4/Champ fight. Surprisingly easy - was really just probing to see what I was up against and before I knew it they were toast. Between the universal Exp share and a bit of running around since unlocking Soar/the Eon Flute catching new 'mon I didn't have any grinding to do. Things really have changed since R/S/E

Drumstick (L65 m Blaziken) ; Demento (L58 m Gardevior) ; Whiscash (L59 m) ; Brannigan (L59 m Manectric) ; Mila (L56 f Swellow) Tallulah (L49 f Gloom)
I wonder did the Zigzagoon I sent out on the Wondertrade that got me that Barboach way back on day one ever make it to the Hall of Fame?

Anyway, as Penance for my Wondertrading sins I've sent out a couple of curse/yawn Eevees and released any Zigzagoons or Wingulls that came back my way. What's a good 'mon to send out. Starters? Something with high IVs? Something difficult to find in ORAS?

Angron · 26-01-2015 2:43pm

Generally speaking, something with good IVs or an egg move or two would be nice.

What is a 'Bank'? Got the game at Christmas and haven't given it much time, only on the 6th badge! Have the day off tomorrow, so I hope to play it for a few hours.

RobbingBandit · 06-02-2015 12:24am

Broke my bank account, borrowed an OR used it to take all the pokemon got an error thought nothing of it wiped the save file on the game and gave it back opened up bank tonight nearly two weeks after the error only to see I need the now erased save file to continue or I am locked out of my bank, as far as I am aware only the pokemon from the now wiped file are in the bank I have erased bank and redownloaded it to no avail, only have 30 days left on it but stupid nintendo have it linked to my NNID.

Pokémon Bank, a method of transferring pokémon between games if you don't have an extra 3DS, as well as moving pokes from gen 5 to 6.

Kinda leaving out a big feature there. It's a massive PC too. With the amount of Pokémon that now exist, a living Pokédex uses up nearly the entire in game PC so the Bank is a God send in that regard.

Perfect example of Battle Masion cheating... Double Chandlure. Battle no. 144.

Edit: Holy image fail!

Angron · 07-02-2015 7:37pm

I've edited that image to a link cause that thing was fecking massive :P I've never had that particular brand of nonsense happen to me I must say.

Angron · 08-02-2015 8:43pm

It's actually just dawned on me, it's about a year now since the Bank launched, so this Johto starters thing seems like a ploy to convince people to resub if they weren't going to.

beaner09 · 14-02-2015 4:38pm

Darkrai event at GAME in the UK! Not much help to the majority here but if you can get your hands on one of the codes it does work over here (how I got mine).

I can clone mine if anyone wants it so you'll at least have it (minus the Wonder Card).

Angron · 14-02-2015 8:00pm

Could I grab one from you Beaner? I've got a few things I can offer like a HA Corphish with 4 egg moves, or a HA Gligar, or a Shellos with egg moves.

Yeah are we added? If not my FC is 2638 - 1742 - 2275 and IGN is Beaner!

And trade me the worst thing you have, I nearly have Battle Ready versions of everything so don't need anything, plus it's a clone!
