(Well a month from a Europen-centric view, however, this is no reason why those who'll be receiving ORAS on the 21st cannot join in either!)
After years of speculation, debates, and examining anything that may be the slightest hint of oncoming remake of Ruby and Sapphire, ranging from NPCs from Hoenn to if you squint it kind of looks like it's saying RUBY AND SAPPHIRE REMAKING COMING, the games are almost upon us.
The purpose of this topic is to build hype to an awesome amount. Everyday, I will post an element of RS, be it a scenario in the game, a Pokemon, an NPC, pre-release information, events, news or anything that relates to the game, and you can post your experience about it. It can be as long or short as you like (as long as it follows rules of course.)
Come on, it'll be fun!
(NB: your definition of fun may differ massively from my own.)
TODAY IS...
TRENDY SAYINGS
on Dewford Island there was an interesting bunch of NPCs that would take obsessively about a phrase that could change yourself. It was changed weekly automatically, and sometimes by trading records with friends you would also receive their 'trendy phrase'. I was made from stock words such as Pokemon names, pronouns and move names. I remember using the phase Cute Torchic, but when I went back this year with my girlfriend immaturity got the better of us and, well, it was a lot less sweet than Cute Torchic.
I only really played R/S back in the day with my brother and my evetual-girlfriend Milia Maxwell as she's called on here so it was intresting to have phrases traded between us.
I hope this returns to ORAS, it made the world feel a bit more alive.
-
Totally Torchic is the most trendy thing! Wherever you're from, Totally Torchic is at the cutting edge of cool, right?
-
The most trendy thing, as Lewis will attest, is Sappy Babe, there is no other saying quite like it.
-
I hate that whole trendy phrase nonsense, and most importantly I hate Rex for bringing it up.
Meanwhile, America gets a two-in-one bundle with 100 free potions per game! Oh boy, I'm so excited! That's almost 2000 HP
>_>
<_<
Where's my steel case?????????
-
you can't heal pokemon with a steel case can you!
-
^It's called magic. Can you feel it
mr. krabs?
-
you can't heal pokemon with a steel case can you!
no but you can heal a broken heart
:( :( :(
-
^It sure can.....
Getting on topic again, I'm agreeing with Rich, only because i'm too lazy to come up with my own.
-
thats what america gets for getting it a week before us broe
-
thats not my fault, i didnt choose to live here...!
-
Sorry guys, I am late. It's been a hetic few days for me, so I'd like to do... three at a time.
For the 29th it was, (or it should have been..) Norman!
Norman's unique in that he's the only character refereed to you as your dad to show up in person, and a gym leader to boot. Whilst others dad's fates are left ambiguous and only refereed to as passing, Norman takes an small but active role in the story line as the first gym leader you meet, although his the 5th Gym Leader you battle.
You know I'd really like in ORAS if he could, in a fatherly role, give you a new Mega Stone of a certain, ape/sloth like Pokemon he favours.
the 30th it was, or should have been...Petalburg Forest!
Petalburg forest is your basic early-game forest, it's the first forest area not to have Caterpie or Weedle, instead, using newcomer Wurmple to fill the adorable-early-caterpillar role. Shroomish can be found here, I have fond memories of finding a Shiny Wurmple here and attempting to catch a Shroomish in a Luxury Ball to raise as a Breelom. I used this area as a defence EV training area searching for Silcoon and Cascoon.
You first meet Team Aqua/Magma depending on your game attempting to steal important papers from the Devon Researcher who has a fondness for Shroomish, through here it's onto Rustburo City.
On the routes outside the forest, there was a Rich Boy on one, and a Lady on the other, they would both us a Zigzagoon for the battle, and during rebattles it would eventually be a Lioone. The Pokemon always carried a Nugget and by contentiously entering the route over again you would be able to re battle them. Because of their high prize money, I used to do this to get a quick amount of cash to buy vitamins to EV train Pokemon with. With one Pokemon with the anmlut coin, and another with thief, I used to rack up a lot of money quickly.
Since it's Halloween today....let's do a spooky duo:
Dusclops and Banette
Dusclops was (at the time) the final evolution of Duskull and Banette of Shuppet, they could be considered a paired Pokemon, those are Pokemon with strong similarities and often are version exlusive or easier to obtain in one game over another. Whilst they weren't version exclusives, Duskull was much easier to find in Ruby and Shuppet in Sapphire. Dusclops was the more defensive Pokemon with an impressive 130 in both Defence stats but weaker attack, whilst Banette had stats more suited for attacking. Back then there was no physical special split as DP introduced, so Banette was the best Ghost type to make use of Shadow Ball, from a power point of view, other Ghost types before had relatively low attack stat and higher special attack stat.
Elite Four Phoebe used both on her team, two Dusclops at level 48 and 51 and a two Banette at level 49.
Dusclops could great use of the new move Will-O-Wisp to increase it's defensive potential. It could also learn Pain Split but breeding, but that required a Misdreavus which wasn't available to trade over to RS for quite sometime until the release of Colossum on the GameCube and then Fire Red & Leaf Green
Eventually Dusclops would be given a further evolution that Banette didn't receive but in Gen 6 he would be given a Mega Evolution.
I quite liked these Pokemon, I found their base forms strangely cute.
-
i found dusclops cute when he was pain splitting, will-o-wisping, and sub punching (actually i forget what sets i used to run in gen 3)
-
Phoebe will definitely get a Dusknoir as she was seen using one in one of the trailers.
-
So what is going on with the Eon Ticket? Is it going to be a wifi event or do I have to go somewhere?
-
Not a wi-fi event as far as I gather. It's being spread about through Streetpass, apparently.
[and before someone rages, yes I'm not pleased with that either]
-

Asides from the street pass Will mentioned, you'll receive a serial code if you're a Play! Pokémon Organiser in the US, but that's the only other way.

RIP to everyone who lives in the middle of no where :P

Like me. I haven't even had any Street Pass Tags on my Tomodachi Life game and my poor traveler has been literally on the dock for about three months now. Not even ONE tag was from the event last weekend and I went to FOUR of the hotspots! I got tags for a game hardly anyone plays anymore and not a realitively recent one. I'm just annoyed.
-
So Deoxys is going to be available through some event called "Episode Delta."
-
Holy dear lord what (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HlADiJFI5c)
11/10 best games
We get to ride Mega Rayquaza to space to fight Deoxys
-
MR STONE HAS HIS OWN SPRITE THIS HAS MADE ME SO HAPPY OMG.
I can't wait for these games it is actually painful.
-
[space core voice] spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace
also i have not wanted to cosplay a character so hard until zinnia
-
I wonder if this "additional story" is a test to see if addition story DLC would work in the Pokemon series? Like maybe not charge us this time, but maybe next game?
-
I hope this is replayable, it looks far too fun to do once.
Imma guessing the whole Episode Delta thing is to incoprare Emerald elements into the game without affecting RS' story too much, like the battle at the Mossdeep Centre. Seems to have some elements from the Deoxys film as well.
I notice the lack or Archie/Maxie in what we've been shown so far, I guess this is taking place post-story with the remains of Aqua/Magma still fighting it out.
-
Yup, guess the teams are going all Johto TR on us... :laugh:
-
All aboard the ORAS hype train!
CHOO CHOO
-
If Deoxys is available without an event then this will be the first time this has happened since Japanese players could get Celebi in Crystal.

But wasnt that download via that phone adapter? Or you get the GS Ball from that sort of like the items that get you event Pokemon in Gen 4?
-

I think it was programmed into the game and you didn't need to use the adapter thing to get it. You just had to visit the center.
-
New Delta Episode looks awesome, can't wait to ride a Rayquaza into space xD
I wonder though, if you encounter a shiny Rayquaza will the one in the cutscene be shiny? xD I can dream right =P

Technically Darkrai & Shaymin were obtainable without event, but you had to tweak. Basically there were spots in the game where if you rode your bike in a certain way the game lagged and you entered the mystery zone, where you could cycle to event legends (bar Arceus). Doesn't require anything except the game itself (and a hell of a lot of internet tutorials xD)
-
Apparently this is going to tie in with X/Y somehow with some item from AZ? Maybe that's what ancient artifact thingy is for?? Maybe this is how we get the Light of Ruin Floette? I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER FOR THIS GAME TWO WEEKS ASFAFHJSAKDFD
-
I think you mean one week
#snootyamerican

I hope you somehow lose the use of your hands for a week between the 21st and the 28th.

less then that, when some Japanese gamer gets it early, finishes and leaks and spoils the whole thing online

Mega Milotic confirmed!

First review is up, a 9/10 from Nintendolife (http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds/pokemon_omega_ruby_and_alpha_sapphire)
And hopefully the comment about the postgame means Battle Frontier.......I hope.......
-
I have it. Will be streaming it. If you wanna watch the hype. go check it!

gotta catch 'em all. setting up the 3ds as we speak. pretty noice so far
-
Nice keyboard too. Have fun and good luck.
-
thanks! observations so far:
- 8-directional movement is really cool and the stick feels nice. the new c-stick feels kind of hard, but i don't have anything to test it
- nice throwback to the original games in the opening scene
- 3d effect is cool, but causes a bit of fps lag in battles i think. also not in the overworld?
- dexnav is nice. is there any reward for finding all the pokemon in a particular route/complete x routes?
- sneak function is handy and its cool tied in w/ the dexnav
- environments look good. the colours and style make up for the low level of detail and pixel density (my samsung tab s has spoiled me)
- animations are really smooth. battle camera is dynamic
not sure how much of this was introduced in x/y, but in the hour i've played, its very cool seeing the game i played >10 years in a more modern context
ps. mech keyboard has brown switches with red/orange blank custom keycaps. v cool!
-
Yeah 3D effect causes an FPS lag in just about everything I've played.
There's no reward but it makes it easy to keep track of Pokemon you still need to catch. Just about everything but dexnav (and idk what the sneak function is) was intro'd in XY.
-
It's awesome. Obviously streamed it straight for 10 hours.
I'm at Fortree City. Will be streaming it tomorrow.
The Latias thing totally took me by surprise.
And a personal hate for any Team Aqua mon with swagger. Since it was introduced in this generation it's more common and I hate it.
Planning on finishing the game tomorrow. Then having weird fun and stuff lmao.
