Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

[Hitou]

picked this up finally, I'm just past cycling road and my team is already WAY fucking overleveled.

Thinking about restarting and doing a nuzlocke run - was curious if anyone had any interesting rules aside from capturing the first poke in each area and faint=death

There's a few I've heard of.

- The "no repeats" clause which means you can't catch a pokemon you've already caught before on top of only being able to catch 1 per route.
- No items in battle. Potions etc, held items/berries are okay and items outside of battle are okay.
- Leave exp share off. This one is kind of a no-brainer since the whole point of a nuzlocke is to make the game harder.
- If you whole team faints, it's game over. Even if you have more pokemon in your boxes. This one might just be a normal rule. I can't remember.

It's great but most people got done with this generation with X/Y.

I am still on badge #3 on Y and havent started Ruby ; ;

The Pokeforce is no longer strong with this one.

Y was the first one that I really stuck with in a while. I buy them every release but X/Y I ran through elite four, into working on breeding etc.

Ruby did not have the same effect on me.

Got terribly bored since you one shot everything in the game and everyone has only three pokemon.

[Hitou]

That describes every single pokemon game's story mode. I think the main issue with AS/OR is that there wasn't much to do after you beat the elite four. There's the delta... thing I've already forgotten the name of. The exact same battle maison from X/Y, more breeding which everyone got burned out on from X/Y, and hunting down all the mega stones again/new stones. Which includes doing all the pokemon contests and collecting 1000 flags from peoples secret bases. If you're like me you completed your pokedex or nearly completed it in X/Y and then just used the bank to instantly complete it again in AS/OR. Or just left it on the other game because there's nothing new to get from completing it again.

I donno, I enjoyed AS/OR. It was fun for what it was, a remake. The problem is it was a remake of a generation people hated for whatever reason. Maybe if they had included the battle frontier people would have been happier but who knows.

[Draylo]

No it doesn't actually, mostly X/Y and this game.

[Not Kuno]

This is the biggest problem with the last few Pokemon gens. You get coddled so hard. As much as I didn't like gen 3, at least Emerald was a pretty tough game.

Next Pokemon game to be "Flowers" themed

When asked in the interview to provide a cryptic word that would make sense in hindsight, Smith simply said “Flowers.”

In Pokemon X and Y, Floette is a plot-important Pokémon who carries its trademark flower in the game. There’s also its Eternal Flower Floette, which has not has been officially released yet. Flowers could also refer to an upcoming Pokémon title in 2016.

One of the best things they could do is remove the IV system from the competitive scene. Why should you have to breed 50 million pokemon to even compete in the first place? It just makes people use generators and cheats to spawn pokemon to use for fights instead of using the in-game mechanics. You can keep egg breeding for shiny farming or egg moves but take out that stupidness imo. One of the major reasons I never even bothered with the PVP aspect of pokemon.

Oh btw there's like 3 distribution events going on, shiny rayquaza via wifi, johto starters for poke bank, and unova starters via codes input. Check serebii for more info because i'm lazy.

You just love to cheat at the sight of any difficulty in a game don't you? It's really not that hard to breed perfect Pokemon without having to resort to gamesharking it if you know what you're doing. It's Pokemon for god's sake. IVs are awesome and they shouldn't be removed to casualize it for lazy cheaters

^. It takes a bit of time but once you have a Mewostic that can sweep anything, it was worth it.

[Draylo]

IV are not awesome they are a lame time sink that gates you from actually competing which is where the fun is. It's not difficulty its just tedious and time consuming for no reason. EV system is fine since you can have influence over that directly and it doesn't force you to breed ton of different Pokemon for the best result. It's not even a factor in competitive battling because everyone is expected to be max IV/EX on all their Pokemon or they will just outright lose to someone that does. Also I don't cheat at Pokemon, I don't even play it after beating the game for that exact reason. Now they made it so easy you just one shot everything, so if you aren't battling online you are gonna be bored. Dude you really have issues, constantly coming with personal attacks and self-righteousness. I don't even know you, do you even play this game or did you just post to attack?

^. It takes a bit of time but once you have a Mewostic that can sweep anything, it was worth it.

How does max IV make a Pokemon sweep anything? It's all about the different builds and movesets, just having those max stats is just the baseline for even being able to compete.

That's the point. It's part of the equation overall, since it's basically the difference between throwing in a raised one versus throwing in the level 57 one you caught in victory road for example. It doesn't do anything alone but it sure as hell helps. I think the only time I've ever hacked anything in was hacking in items that you can't get without trading, which you can't trade for in the 'pokemon x/y era' games due to trade limitations with the older games.

[Draylo]

Unless I'm mixing them up, IV is determined at birth and EV is through battling. EV would be the difference between a raised one versus a random one you caught, you trained with that Pokemon and its stronger due to that. IV is just tinkering around with breeding with a ditto and constantly hatching eggs until you got the max one you want, like some mad scientist.

I Choose You, Volcanion (Fire/Water type)

The Pokémon Company International today revealed a brand-new trailer featuring Volcanion, a newly discovered Pokémon found in the Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y for Nintendo 3DS family systems.

Volcanion is a rare Mythical Pokémon that cannot be found during normal gameplay. Unlike any other Pokémon, Volcanion is both Fire and Water type. This Pokémon uses fire and water to create steam within its body, expelling explosive shock waves and scalding steam from the arms on its back. Volcanion’s power is said to be so great it can destroy an entire mountain, gouging out the earth and changing the shape of the land.
