Topic: Your ORAS Game triumphs/struggles

[Richard and Blaziken]

Triumph:

Was a learning curve, but a lot of fun

[Raphetty]

Having both games, my plan for Omega Ruby is to catch the first Pokémon of each type that I find, not worrying about stats unless the ability is relevant, and with no trades finish the game at quite a fast pace.

Alpha Sapphire will be the game where I breed perfect Pokémon and EV train them, with help from X and Bank if necessary.

Triumphs:
Beat the first gym on my first day of playing.

Trainer name: Moga

Team:
Marshtomp (M) - Mudder - Lv.17
Makuhita (M) - Makit - Lv.15
Poochyena (F) - Nashia - Lv.14
Beautifly (M) - Buggle - Lv.13
Wingull (M) - Gully - Lv.12
Zigzagoon (F) - Zoga - Lv.12

[Captain Jigglypuff]

My triumphs:
Beat the first five Gyms the day of release
Found and caught a Surskit. Triumph because it was near Petalburg City and it was the very first Pokemon I found on that route.
Got a Water Pulse Spinda and never noticed it was special until two days ago
Beat Tate and Liza with only sacrificing Glalie. It took the blunt of Whiscash's Surf but it was worth it.
Decimated Wallace with Mega Glalie and Freeze Dry. The guy didn't even get to attack once other than a Rain Dance.
Defeated Steven with only three Pokemon.

Struggles:
Catching Deoxys after the E4 the second time. I started off with about 120 Ultra Balls and by the time I caught it, I had only 93 of them left. It took out Rayquaza with one hit (it didn't even use Cosmic Power!) and I had my shiny Metagross at level 55 I think and it was out levelled by a lot but somehow kept surviving  every hit it recieved.

Triumpth: Finding Hammer Arm Slaking
Struggles:  Going into the Pokemon Centre trying to buy Pokeballs. :[

[Clairefable]

Truimphs: My Shroomish is s l a y i n g. Why have I never used one before?

Struggles: Having to wait for my DS to charge so I can keep playing. Having dropped it one too many times it now only charges using the cradle.

[Freestyler]

My first triumph? Well, I finally got Pokemon Omega Ruby version

My first struggle? Well, I can't find my 3DSxl recharger anywhere D:

Curses.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

^The 3DS XL uses the same charger as the regular 3DS and DSi. I know. I have all three systems.

[Lord Raven]

They may not have the regular 3DS or the DSi...

[sylar]

then charge it with the power of friendship

[Hahex and Oshawott]

Seeing Hoenn fade into dusk then night....
it really is a thing of beauty

Ah man it's crazy. It only really hit me today that I've never actually seen Hoenn in twilight because they never put that system on the originals. It's really different playing it in the dark.

[Lord Raven]

I gots me a shiny poochyena

Also, has anyone seen the reflection of the moonlight on the rain route?  It's really beautiful.
