haha wow

if you're expecting a well made, carefully handcrafted video game with new and old fans' opinions taken into consideration, this is not the game for you.

if you're expecting another lazily made cashgrab that removes half the features that should've stayed, and straight up mocks the player for expecting one of the biggest postgame challenges in any pokemon game to be included again, this game is for you.

but its hoenn right it must be good xDDD

7.5 is right. Fuckin' water.

Are you talking about pmd wiiware? I HATE that game. When is removing a plot a good idea?!?! (coincidentaly. the same could go for MMBN4 and Sticker star, two other games that I hate)

[Bikdark]

Pretty sure you should reread that.

[Swordkirby]

Pretty sure you should reread that.

Damn my short attention span! My point still stands, however.

[BookofDobson]

I never knew how Wi-fi pokeman battles worked...
so I leveled my team up to 100 in B/W2
... I don't even

[Megaman94]

What do you guys think of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? Don't spoil too much, I still have to buy my copy.

[Gumballtoid]

I've only got seven badges and I just captured Groudon but so far it's stacking up to be my favorite Pokemon game to date. I'll probably get into more depth once I beat the main game but so far that's my sentiment.

Also I know you all care about my team so here have my team as of Groudon's capture.

Domino / Stoutland Lv.40
Hatred / Beedrill Lv.40
Dennis / Torkoal Lv.40
Sweaty / Vibrava Lv.40
Wrinkles / Cradily Lv.42
Sea Moose / Sealeo Lv.39

[chuggaafan1]

Gen V was my jam and this is just so much better. I liked X and Y, but outside of challenges they're only worth one run. Once I beat Omega Ruby I wanted to go and play Alpha Sapphire, it's just that much fun. (Incidentally XY are my personal favorites FOR challenge runs).

Well, I got the game yesterday and I already beat 6 out of 8 gym leaders. Also I am noticing a lot of differences from the original Sapphire, because I own Sapphire and I am a nerd who remembers every little detail. I am also so happy they kept the trick house in. I loved that when I was playing Emerald and Sapphire. That reminds me of when I had a secret base in Emerald, I would make my own mini trick house. Any way, I am currently at Lilly Cove city and getting ready to go to Mt. Pyre. My team is:

Electrode Lv. 36  Ability: Static
Marshtomp Lv. 33  Ability:Torrent
Lombre Lv. 31  Ability:Rain Dish
Swellow Lv. 33  Ability: Guts  (dun dunnnn!)

Next two are spoilers because they are part of the plot of the game

Shiny Metang (Mystery Gift) Lv. 27  Ability: Clear Body
Latias Lv. 32  Ability: Levitate

Oh and be sure to get

the shiny Beldum mystery gift.

Is it me or does this game like critical hits? I have been getting/receiving a lot of critical hits.

[Gumballtoid]

Mystery Gift really isn't plot-related.

I appreciate the decreased encounter rate while caving and surfing. It makes exploring areas like that enjoyable and they don't really feel like a chore anymore.

[LlamaHombre]

I'd still appreciate it if Golbat and Pelipper weren't the region standards, but whatever I guess.
There's a good variety once you scrape past that first layer, but it can really feel like a pain to do so at points.

My end team (with current, post-Delta Episode levels)

Junpei (Sceptile) - Lv. 72
Talge (Tentacruel) - Lv. 70
Gentarou (Skarmory) - Lv. 70
Becky (Sandslash) - Lv. 70
Akane (Absol) - Lv. 72
Yasuhiro (Medicham) - Lv. 72

First time using Medicham or Absol, and they both hit like trucks. Helps that their megas are super strong, but I oftentimes didn't need them.

[Gumballtoid]

Here's my current team, post-Delta Episode.

Domino (Stoutland) Lv.61 -- Hatched from an egg, Domino reliably outspeeds almost everything and hits hard. She was my only party member her up until after Dewford.
Hatred (Beedrill) Lv.65 -- Brought over from Kalos as Weedle, Hatred's attack power is downright terrifying. His shining moment was tearing Sidney apart at the Pokemon League.
Dennis (Torkoal) Lv.61 -- Dennis's impregnable defense makes him a valuable asset. Between Fire Spin and Body Slam's paralysis, he's a force to be reckoned with.
Sweaty (Flygon) Lv.61 -- Even as a Trapinch, Sweaty's diverse movepool was extraordinarily helpful in many cases. Though he gets the least use, he's still dependable.
Wrinkles (Cradily) Lv.65 -- Wrinkles's ability to wear the opponent down with Confuse Ray and Toxic is always helpful, especially given her fantastic special defense.
Sea Moose (Walrein) Lv.62 -- Sea Moose's ability to endure special attacks and hit hard with Water and Ice-type moves makes her valuable. Body Slam rounded out the set.

And special recognition for:

Sir Wiggly (Lombre) Lv.36 -- Given to me by Smash as a Lotad, Sir Wiggly proved himself valuable by learning moves other than just Tickle, making him a fine HM slave.

[skully]

So what's an Eon Ticket again?
I've seem to got one randomly..

Also, looking at everyone way past me is funny, makes me wanna go on.
