GOOD LORD THE DOWSING MACHINE

Funny you should mention that. I was hoping to pick up a strategy guide along with the game today, but they said they haven't come in yet (if they're even out), so yeah. Blind running, let's go!

So far I've put 10 hours into it (12 if you count falling asleep and leaving my ds on) and only have 6 badges, I don't remember R/S being quite this long.

I must say, the intro was really sweet when you pick your gender and name.

edit:The teleporter section in the magma hideout is kinda annoying, but there's something useful at the end of the long room with rows of 3

So... it seems like Torchic/Combusken/Blaziken can still solo the whole game so far just like in Gen III... lol.

ahahaha that is exactly how I played my first pokemon game

hit Groudon to red with a single flamethrower and proceeded to use a Master Ball on it

Disappointed that the Sootopolis gym tiles are so easy this time around, I remember trying for like 2 hours before I figured it out in the original.
Jinxy
man you're fast

still slowly walking around after getting my third badge. Gonna search Granite Cave after they turned it into a joke and do a few Mach Bike time trials

added OR/AS to the FC list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... ring#gid=0

Graphics are good. Surprised they gave us the EXP. Share pretty early actually.
Just defeated the first gym so I'm "getting" there.

So who here knew twelve years ago that "Winstrate" was a pun

I played Runescape so I noticed that at the time. There was a bunch of knights in that game with silly names like "Sir Prysin" and "Sir Amik Varze".

Just finished the pokemon league, and there's a typo or misinterpreted line at the end. At least, I think it's supposed to say something different.


In fact, I noticed quite a few grammar errors whilst playing it through. Not that it really bothered me, but there also seems to be many references to pop culture and the likes (this was in X/Y, too), I'm not sure if the earlier games had this. Perhaps I was too young to make the connections at the time.

Flying on Latias/os is such fun.

Like, really. A lot of pseudo legendary pokemon this time aren't hidden behind the elite four, either.

Doubt this is a spoiler, but anyway...
Speaking of which, I'm annoyed that the games don't let you check Lati@s' stats then softreset quickly, but it's not like Game Freak hasn't done it before...

Love that Mauville City look.
It was bigger than I expected as well T_T
Beautiful *sheds a tear*

You guys are making my hype impossible to contain. Meanwhile I'm crying and dealing with stuff like this every morning

[07:05:00] <andrewshen123> morning

He's Canadian ;_;

Gonna be a while till I remember where everything is, though... like seriously.

P.S. I hope you all remembered to download your shiny Beldum through Mystery Gift.
Jinxy
i can fly to literally anywhere except route 120

why

I want a base there, route 120 looks amazing at night
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
Can't you use Soar for that?

Anyway, posted my Super-Secret Base to the OP. If what Serebii.net said is true, my team should be one that'll immensely help low-leveled Pokémon, but anyone can feel free to go against me regardless and even take my Flag.
Jinxy
I don't have Soar unlocked yet. Or something. I dunno, I'm not reading up.

I think you should append this FC list to the OP, there are more people in this one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... ring#gid=0

EDIT: Adding someone to your secret pals removes them from their base. Should have battled first

Added/Updated.

I wonder if people you meet on PSS can also transfer their base...

Passersby will sometimes have their bases appear in your game. That's why I have 13 flags :P

If you don't favourite them, then their base may get overwritten by a new passerby. So far the only base I favourited is one with a full team of pals so that's like 6 battles

Ooh, this is good news~
Jinxy
Checking again, you have the option to battle your pals in your own base. I think people added by QR can only be battled the next day, regardless of them being in their base or yours. They also have some "skill" thing which I assume functions similar to Join Avenue but can also only be used the next day

Something else I also found out: if they have a bed in their base, you can actually use it to heal your Pokémon.

EDIT: So was anyone else surprised that...
...you ended up getting the opposite Orb, especially when looking back at the original games?

Bit surprised. The fact that we can't get Kyogre in Omega Ruby, I question that.

Anyways, the battle with the legendaries are "interesting". Average level but still hard to catch as usual.

I liked the story changes from the original. Haven't played Delta story yet, but up to and past Groudon, that was intense.

Just finished that part @ Groudon. Holy shit is the story more dramatic now.

To think you need a Lvl 100, just to go catch Reshiram/Zekrom... ;_:

Good thing I brought over Pokémon from my Y, then.

EDIT: Holy shit @ Victory Road. Just sayin'.
SPOILER
Wally has such a kickass battle theme.
Azure_Kite
He really does. I just finished the E4. May's piano theme is just d'awwwwwwwww.

And the credits! They track the pokes you used during in-game events and its cool.
Athrun
actually the underwater graphics are AMAZING.
Riding on a Kyogre underwater is amazing \:D/

So... I beat the main story. Gonna save Episode Delta for tomorrow (my time). Hopefully by then I'll also have an actual Base ready.

There are people who will buy the same game twice or 3-4 times if you've already played Ruby/Sapphire
