Your ORAS Game triumphs/struggles

[kindtocrows]

Triumphs:

• Managed to find a Ralts after about half an hour (I was going to name it Alice, but the first one I found was male and I wasn't about to spent another half an hour looking for a female, so I named it after another friend of mine whose favorite pokemon is Gardevoir, so now I have a Gardevoir named Dave and he is beautiful)
• Found out Gardevoir is the answer to everything Team Aqua will throw at you
• Won the cuteness super contest with an Anorith
• Caught Kyogre just before it swept my team
• Caught 2/3 of the lake trio (can't seem to find Uxie)
• Found a Gothita on Route 102

Struggles:

• I did not think my team through at all and now half of it is psychic
• I can't find the Waterfall HM
• Not being able to find Uxie is bothering me
• Can't find any other legendaries

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Managed to win a master rank coolness contest with my Salamence ^^

I can't find the Waterfall HM

It's the same as in RSE, if you want to know I'll put it in small text here so that if you don't you don't need to see it xD Wallace gives you it upon defeat

Triumphs:

• the first one I found was male and I wasn't about to spent another half an hour looking for a female

I was looking for a male so I could have gallade, and I have a female. Looks like i'm a little late


Success:
Caught an abra on try #2

Struggle:
Can't decide what to ditch in the PC. Do I put surskit in (not likely), poochyana (option 1), or just store the abra (option 2)?

Thanks
I must have misread it or something when I looked for it in my bag, and I wasn't paying attention after the battle with Wallace so I didn't see what TM he gave me. I have no idea how I missed it.

Yeah, sorry, haha ^^; Though I found another, if you want it.

[Neotenens]

Triumph: Awesome team of Gallade, female Kirlia, Marshtomp, Nuzleaf, Event Metang, and Goomy

Struggle: Their natural moves were so pathetic I had to use Bank to put them in Y and bombard them with TMs.

[MonsterMon64]

Triumph(s):
*I got a Makuhita with Bullet Punch thanks to DexNav, and she's now a Hariyama. She's my bro for sure, can't wait to unlock her true potential.
*Won the Master Rank Cool contest by the skin of my teeth! Yoko wasn't there with her Gyarados, though, so that helped.

Struggle(s):
*Master Rank Cool contest. My trusty Masquerain's Fell Stinger has helped it out a lot in the earlier ranks, but I guess since I don't have any good appeal combos for it, it struggles against Yoko And Gyalaxy, but if it's not them then it's the Blackbelt and his Heracross. Never mind, see above in TRIUMPHS. (though I guess my Masquerain could stand to learn some better moves still, eheh)
*Not sure what to do about my team, which currently has only four regular members, redundant coverage and a massive Flying-type weakness, and so far I lack any good Rock-type moves for that matter. Caught a Skarmory, thinking of adding that to the final team, but that'd take some grinding so yeah.

[Inferna]

Struggle: I don't have alpha sapphire yet

Triumph: its out tomorrow!!

These past few days have dragged beyond belief, I'm actually so hyped for this omg.

[Angelic Lapras King]

Struggle
No Anabel and Greta in 3D.......yet. T.T
Getting so many Cascoons when all I want is to evolve my Wurmple into Silcoon. ><

Triumph
Getting a Silcoon at last
Wonder Trading those Cascoons actually landed me some pretty neat Pokemon in turn. No legendaies, but I mean some decent non-Hoenn Pokemon.

[SirBlaziken]

Yeah, sorry, haha ^^; Though I found another, if you want it.

Nah, i'm gonna stick with what I have, plus my brother has a gallade. So I don't want what he's using.

Triumphs:
Beat Watson without taking any damage
Evolved to Kirlia and Kadabra (Thinking of doing Romeo and Julliet with my two psychics).
Caught an electrike, and won the super rank cool contest today with it.
Finding the Alakaznite and the mawilenite by accident

Struggles:
Surskit still hasn't evolved at level 20, plus if you go up against a pokemon that you can't bubblebeam to death, you're screwed.
Paralysis and poison
A level 23 wild marill takes out 2 of my 5 team members, glad it's not nuzlocke.
Surskit and it's shoddy attack stat.

[E.C.A.M.B.S.]

Evolved to Kirlia and Kadabra (Thinking of doing Romeo and Julliet with my two psychics)

Doing Romeo and Juliet with two psychics? What's that mean?

Triumphs:

• Won all 5 Master Ranks with Destroyer II without ever having given him any Pokeblocks


• Found and caught a Shiny Numel in a horde in Fiery Path.

Struggles:

• My team is ridiculously overpowered without Exp. Share at such an early point in the game. It's hard to catch a Pokemon w/o killing it, and I really dislike False Swipe.


• My OCD playing style is getting the better of me. I've spent like, 26 hours playing with only 4 Gym Badges. I literally pass a route, beat all the trainers there, then come back just to dowse for items in every corner and rebattle every single one of the trainers. I wanted to get into competitive this game, but at this rate I won't be.. 

[SirBlaziken]

^Kadabra is male and Kirlia is female. If that isn't a giveaway, I give up.

[E.C.A.M.B.S.]

But Romeo and Juliet is a bit of an exaggeration, no? Me and my questions..

Struggles:

I ran into a Shiny Slugma just now. What's with these shinies...

[Richard and Blaziken]

My team of Blaziken, Gardevoir, Salamence, Manectric, Vaporeon and Blissey just hit level 100, which is quite a struggle in these games. I'm pretty proud of these 6.

[Lord Raven]

Struggles:  raising anorith

triumphs:  evolving anorith


I was also having trouble doing damage with Swellow for a while.  Then I came up with the brilliant idea of replacing him with Dodrio.

[JSM]

Struggles: Catching Protean Kecleon
Triumphs: Teaching said Kecleon Power Up Punch and some physical moves.
