It seems like only yesterday I started the Journey to X & Y article series, when in actuality it’s fast approaching six months since I did! Admittedly the inferno of hype for X & Y has flickered down into a smouldering cinder, but that’s expected, the games are out. Many of our readers enjoyed the articles we ran last year, and we’ve decided to continue the generation weeks we failed to complete before the release of the games. They’ll be a little different however—just a title change really, but still a heap of fun!
In Roar of Time we asked our readers what they would add to older games, if they gained the ability to travel back in time and make any change or additions they wanted. This time round it’s the same deal! If you could take control of Dialga and morph time back to the early development stages of Ruby and Sapphire (or any of the other Third Generation games!), what would you change? What would you take away? What would you add?
We don’t want you to be too outrageous here, keep things realistic. You could also pick something completely obvious, but what’s the fun in that? As we said in the first article don’t forget to consider how your change or addition would have an effect on the future of Pokémon games.
Get those brains working and tell us your ideas, we’ll be featuring our favourites in the next Roar of Time (who can guess what that will focus on?)
Please remember to Like us on Facebook and Follow us on Twitter! Or, if forums are your thing register on our forums, we always look forward to new members joining!
As a side note, please, please try to control your commenting on this article, when it comes to finding content for featuring it becomes very difficult if I have to filter through 1,000 comments saying you’re home from school, or asking if anyone is ‘here’. We have a chat, please use it!

When your prediction is so good you cause the other guy to rage quite.
I used destiny bond once and the guy said that I hacked the game and said he was going to report me to game freak, he then rage quitted xD
It was on showdown too so that didnt even make sense
XD
Everyone rage quits on Showdown.
OMG THTS TOO FUNNY XD
This guys just now. I kept my ferrothorn in against his Mega Manectric twice and he didn’t use a fire attack expecting me to switch. Lol
I usually have great prediction and observation but its always a struggle to choose whether go with my Gut or Brain
Same here
Like this one time will Gallade I was going to Psycho Cut his Toxicroak but knew he’d switch to his Tyranitar but went with my brain
Earthen would you be mad at me if i used…
Rhyperior
I’d be fairly Miffed…
That’s my Thang
I know i just battled one i feel like i need to use it
Rhyperior is a risky venture
his Amazingly Perfect Physical Prowess is unbelievable but he’s preyed upon by speedy special Sweepers,
My usual strategy for Rhyperior is to Deal as much Damage it can possibly do in one turn since if up against a water or grass it’ll only last one round, so a Focus Sash or Assault Vest (if using sandstorm)
I’ve raised over 8 Rhyperiors in my lifetime so i’m a bonafided Rhyhorn Master
I’m Experimenting with Stat distributions to see what works the best
HP/ATK
HP/SP DEF
ATK/SP DEF
I’m not going to stop using it just because it’s good
Chaos are you in the Tourney?
Nope. Im just randomly fighting passerbys.
War crit
Dat crit*
Darmanitan Is beast
Rotom would of lived if it wasn’t for the crit
I kinda feel like making a Little Cup Team
Well GG
God I hate Gliscor.
LOL XD I just wanna see how far I can go
I can’t win now.
You will
GG.
GG
I guess you only lost cos of that crit on Rotom. Also I was a but scared when I realised I didn’t have Dark Pulse on Blastoise.
Oh yea I was very surprised at that
I completely forgot to teach it. I entered a battle earlier only to realise my hydreigon had work up and headbutt. Lol
Xd
XD*
Or maybe I can.
It’s funny, Me a Ground Type Master hating one of the most overly used Ground Type yet I on’t use one competitively
How do you pay for bank?
My Credit Card
Is there any other way
Ja, just cram the Five Bucks into the Card Slot
You can use an E-Shop gift card.
I will do that
Just get 5 dollars into your eShop account, either from a credit card or gift card.The game will ask you to pay, and you have to say yes.
Anyone want to battle who isn’t in round 2 of the tournament?
Mehh I’ll battle give me a sec
Great!
ign
muhammad
So i learnt that Lucario could’ve learned Water Pulse in Gen 4 via TM
Is it just me, or does Superstar Saga seem slow compared to the rest of the series?
es slow but es Fun.
esactly
told ya, every Smeagle has Spore nowadays
it5 dont got nuthin against mah cradily or roserade
Yeah, it’s really helpful
its really resourceful
It’s pretty much a requirement for it to know it.
Smeargle can give you so much momentum early on in a match.
Yay! disqus is back!
What do you mean?
I wanna get a klefki. ._.
Mega gardevoir is beast <3
I know right…
if only hyper voice was breedable on it in gen 6 🙁
If only.
hoenn
I feel bad for Gallade.
Gallade? What’s that?
I think it’s a leaked Gen VII Pokémon. Looks like Gardevoir but male. It was once Psychic/Fairy, but then it made the dumbest move in existence and substituted Fairy for Fighting!!!!
:O But… But…. Psychic/Fighting is SOMEWHAT unique…
Weak to Fairy. Gardevoir is Fairy.
dat dog team doe
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/xybattlespotsingles-106839780
that you djja?
The amount of comments he made and upvotes he got says “yes”.
“hurry u lil ho” convinced me. xD
Danny es chillie.
mhmmm
Why is nothing working…
I guess Sylveon is just a good fighting type counter.
It was unusually Bulky
Good game
How’d you even get Hyper Voice
5th gen tutors, then transfer.
Damn, I don’t have IV Dittos in Black2 and White2
Sylveon is supposed to be super bulky…
My Earthquake did nothing and Poison Jab should’ve killed it off
It must have be well trained in its defenses. My Sylveon’s done that a couple of times before.
Sylveon has
A LOT of bulk.
It must’ve just been a real good trainer.
Thank you 😀
you’re welcome
Might not be here at 4 🙁
🙁 That stinks. You could probably battle earlier or later.
What is at 4?
The tournament was set 2 hours earlier.
I’m not going to be here at 4 either. Yesterday starbits said it was fine to do the battles earlier.
Ok, hopefully we’ll see Star before then.
Yeah, her phone died ;_;
I miss having Stealth Rock on Hippowdon and a Permanent Sandstorm
If you were a Psychic/Fairy Pokémon, then why the flaming abyss of misery would you EVER substitute Fairy for something else, like Fighting!!!
What?
When Male Kirlia evolves into Gallade it sacrifices the Fairy type for Fighting.
*facepalms*
No offense. I like the Fighting type too. But why give up a type that has an immunity for one that does not?
Cause dey change da typing of Kirlia.
That’s something I don’t get. Ralts and Kirlia could have been pure Psychic and just give Gardevoir the Fairy type.
Yeah but dey be pretty too.
cuz fightin b stoopid
My Sawk and Throh say otherwise….
Frooosssllaaasss~
Payback!
Thunder Wave!
Psychic!!
If all else fails…
DESTINY BONDDGIPGHNTRBIOP
destiny boop
destiny twerkkk
Burn that thing…
outspeed that thang 😉
Outspeed and do what…tickle me?
oh no
more than a tickle
a
tickle monster attack
My Sawk also has Rock Silde and is way faster
and Throh is a Tanking Behemoth
My froslass is the speediest of the speediest.
She can also take a few hits herself
And she’s shiny 😉
Later we should battle!
We did battle 1 v 6 ;~;
I forgotten
froslass vs all of your rhyperiors lol
Oh now I remember but we should have a match anyways later
*sniff* I helped you evolve her :’)
Also, the more I read about Froslass, the more I want to use her again! Which I will in X2/Y2.
Glacie gets no love ;_; jk I hate it.
twas the day more truer words were ever spoken
Si. Es like the Gardevoir/Gallade relationship. And the Pikachu/Mewtwo relationship. Wait wha?
Pokémon Branch Evolutions. They’re just better substitute evolutions that replace the old final evolution. Until the Fairy Nation Attacked *cough* Gardevoir!
My Gallade is Valiant!
As is mine.
Then a Battle?
your Gardevoir vs My Gallade!
1. LOL. I don’t have a Gardevoir! XD
2. I wouldn’t Mega Evolve her if we battled just to make things even.
3. I have the “College Wifi Sucks” Allibuy, and I’m not going to Starbucks today.
too bad a brave bird can reck it
Like Dragonite and Yoshi ;_;
Cause es cool also ;_;
I got to go now. I’ll return in due time.
I was going to challenge that Gardevoir to a 1 on 1
Cya
I enjoy playing UU and RU more than OU. So many more pokemon out there than Greninja, Aegislash, Tyranitar, Venusar and Zard Y.
and Wash Rotom, Ferrothorn and Gliscor
Exactly.
Talonflame, Garchomp, and Rotom-W…
Actually I rarely see Garchomp
Everyone already took what I wuz gonna say ;_;
i just faced an all ou team…
The person sucked and I won but still
Some people even fail at using Ubers. So..you know people are dumb
That’s why I just avoid Smogon and its tiers. I just use Pokemon that I like.
Yeah, Smogon has somewhat wrecked competetive battling ;_;
I actually enjoy using their simulators.
Plus believe it or not they do give all Pokemon a chance with their tiering system.
I know. But they actually have the UU and RU tiers where you can use these Pokemon and pit them against other rarely used ones.
So i’ve been thinkin’ of making a Real Team (Hold your gasps)
I think it will be good for you. Then you can experience using so many Pokemon with different strengths to ground/fighting types and counter many more Pokemon.
well i wasn’t always a Monotyper
I ran a Special Sweeper team in Black in White
The sole reason I monotype is to prove that I stick to what I believe in that I don’t need fancy Overused strategies or Pokemon to be a accomplished battler, and just because i’ve lost in the past it doesn’t mean I don’t win,
That’s a cool idea.
My special sweeper team or my Morals?
Your morals.
*GASP*
Any IV, HA breeders here..??? I have 4 pretty good pokes to give so I need 1 person to do them all, or else I wont have anything good to give to whoever does the other half of my team. . .
1. Squirtle Male Rain Dish Bold Aqua Ring.. All stats other than its attack and speed must be Perfect
2. Tangela Male Regenerator Bold Leech Seed.. All Stats other than its attack and speed must be Perfect
3. Charmander Male Calm.. All Stats other than its attack must be perfect
4. Shinx Male Intimidate Careful Ice Fang.. All stats other than its special attack must be perfect
5. Gothita Female Shadow Tag Calm Dark pulse.. All stats other than its attack and speed must be perfect
I can help retrieve pokes or items if needed likely
Last minute thought: If Ash ever gives up on his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master (which he should), and decides to become a Frontier Brain in Kanto, then what if he finds out that Paul managed to beat Brandon and is a new Frontier Brain (replacing Sydney) and he uses Torterra and Trevenant as his Grass type Pokémon in battles?
Oh and Serena travels with Ash to Kanto.
Bye for realsies.
Why would he ever give up? That would be Terrible
No one knows how to be a Master. Not even Game Freak. Also, I want him to stop travelling when he gets older and settle down (preferably with Serena).
I know how to be a Pokemaster. And why Serena? Well, I guess she or Misty deserves it nost.
Sydney? You mean Spencer
Yes. Thanks.
