Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire: Pokémon Contests

Back for more…

Over three weeks ago we brought you the first entry to the Road to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. A little later than we initially intended (due to issues with my internet) I am pleased to bring you the second episode, focusing on Pokémon Contests.

Once again this article has been written by the fantastic, close friend of mine, DefensiveBastiodon (who takes both full credit for it and once again my lovely profile.) Expect more from him in the future. Little does he know that I despise passing my ideas for article series on to others, but I can’t deny that he has does an excellent job thus far!

Road to ORAS: Pokémon Contests

The third generation of Pokémon introduced a series of mini games called “Pokémon Contests.” In these contests, a Pokémon was scored based on their condition on moves. They were held in Contest Halls scattered across Hoenn. In the show, characters would flaunt their well groomed monsters and take part in battles to show off fancy move combinations to win the hearts of the Judges. The original contests were eventually expanded in Sinnoh into Super Contests. It added three categories for the player to partake in: Visuals, Dance, and Acting.

Focusing on Hoenn, categories of the contests included Pokémon Conditions: Tough, Cute, Smart, Cool, and Beauty. You could improve the condition of a Pokémon by using Poké Blocks. Poké Blocks were created using various berries scattered across the region. Throw them in the Berry Blender and take off! The better you were about pressing the button on time, the smoother the Block would be. Poké Blocks also introduced new evolution method for Pokémon; Milotic could only be obtained by maxing out a Feebas’ Beauty condition and leveling it up. (This being after you find one of the elusive demons.) Aside from Blocks, scarves were also available to the player to boost the condition. You could receive these in Slateport City from the Pokémon Fan Club President.

The secondary portion of the contests was partially based on your results from the first round of conditioning. The more hearts you received, the higher the chance you had to be first the next round. Secondary judging focused on attacks. Different attacks had different levels of appeals from the audience. To go along with that, some of them even had secondary effects, such as lowering the appeal of other Pokémon or earning extra hearts for yourself. If you use a move that is in the wrong category, such as a Smart move in a Cool category, you’re not going to appeal to the audience well at all. This will lower your score.

There were four ranks to Pokémon Contests: Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master. The rank, of course, controlled the level of difficulty for each contest. You couldn’t move up to the next rank without collecting the ribbon from the previous rank. In Ruby and Sapphire, ranks were scattered (as previously mentioned) throughout the region; this, however, was changed in Emerald to where all four ranks were in Lilycove City.

The final feature of contests were the multiplayer options. Players could connect their copies of Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald to compete in the competitions. This was one of the big features of the third generation; the capability to play with three other players.

Seeing as Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are getting closer and closer each day, and we are seeing new Megas appear. I would personally love to be able to use different Megas in contests for a boost in appeal. (Mega Milotic being better for Beauty, as an example.) To add to that, having online multiplayer for contests would be great too! I’m pretty sure that will happen considering they were a spectacular addition to the original games. If anything, they should make the contests more like the show: allow us to use different move combinations in battles for special effects! We already have the pledge moves, but to utilize that feature with contests would be amazing. I can see it being kind of like Super Training in all honesty…. What changes would you like to see in the contests for Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? What are your thoughts about contests being revived? Leave any comments and discuss them!

Once again we now hand over to our readers to get discussing the hopeful comeback of Pokémon Contests and the ideas shared by DefensiveBastiodon in the article.

  1. I can only remeber 3 Contest Champions from my experience
    Blaziken both Cool and Beauty
    Sealeo/Walreign Beauty
    and Medicham and apparently the Beauty Contest since of the Punch Combos

  2. My Swampert that I used for contests didn’t make it to the transfer. Transferring mons to future games wasn’t something I ever thought about. I think I have my contest Sceptile though…

  3. I’m not much a flashy contest goer but that doesn’t mean this time i’ll reign supreme in the Tough Category!

  4. I can definitely see mega’s playing a part in the new contests. Mega-Up and increase the appeal of a move by +3 hearts that you normally wouldn’t of got if you didn’t evolve.

    Mega Jynx & Mega Milotic for contests!!

    • How outraged would everyone be if Mega Milotic became a Water/Dragon or a Water/Psychic but what if became a Water/Dark type

      Reply
          • How
            How does its looks make it a fairy when it has 100% zero affiliation with the Fairy Typing
            No Fairy Type moves by level up or TM
            Water 1 and DRAGON Egg Group
            It has nothing to do with they fairy and you know it

          • My point is even though it is in the Dragon egg group doesn’t mean it will be dragon so might want to lowercase that ‘DRAGON’

          • Think of the Field egg group. I don’t see any Field types. It’s just classified that way because of the body shape or species in some cases.

          • Same argument goes with Gyarados, lol. What makes it water/dark? The fact that it gets Bite? xD The only thing I can come up with is that it looks “scary”. And if the logic to that is true, Milotic is beautiful, making it fairy type. Just kuz you hate fairies doesn’t mean it won’t be one. xD

          • I’m just saying its just bad writing to make it a Fairy type just based off of Beauty and the Siren claim is bit of a stretch (Which i still don’t understand how those singing evil temptresses are fairies (they just remind me of banshees)
            And FYI most Fairy types aren’t the most beautiful they mostly range in a cute pure way

          • I’m not even gonna waste my time anymore. The evidence is clearly in front of you and you refuse to accept it. Water/Fairy

          • Its based on Fairy Floss which is what cotton candy is called in Australia and the Cupcake evo is just following the idea of sweet treats
            Swirlix and Slurpuff are fairies with a good origin

          • Because they had immense beauty and could trick sailors. Fairies were evil sprites, too! They weren’t always good, pretty little things. They caused mischief. Sirens could fit the Fairy type.
            Fairies could be cute and beautiful. And fairies could be ugly and mean.

          • Alright fair enough (I just regard them as evil female spirits and i rarely see evil in fairies nowadays)
            But still zero Fairy anything

          • It’s your own opinion :3
            Fairies usually have a good connotation nowadays. No one really believes what people in the past believe now, anyways. Fairies had more of that evil thing in the past.

          • Pokemon Y “It is, however, considered by women to be cute.”

            Pokemon X “Many women like to frolic with it because of its affectionate ways.”

          • I can get how Sirens might be classified as Fairies or Spirits and that Oar fishes are rare
            But i still have some valid claims how it is not a fairy

          • Fairies cause mischief in homes and that’s what Whimsicott does
            (also it think GameFreak just labeled them as Fairies to give every region at least one Fairy)

          • Um that second part
            What sounds better, add a fairy type because it looks fairy or make a fairy because the regions needs a fairy type

          • They both could be true
            The point is that Milotic doesn’t even need a damn type change and it really doesn’t need a fairy typing

          • But both have mythological origins, which fairies are mythological beings.
            Granbull being based on a fairy dog in Celtic mythology and Milotic being based on sirens, mythological beings in Greek mythology.

      • I said that I would laugh so hard at that lol. And that I was expecting one of the two to happen, Water/Dragon Mega Milotic with Multiscale, or Water/Fairy Mega Milotic with Serene Grace. I feel like the dragon one is going to happen since she is in dragon egg group and would give her counterpart Mega Gyarados an unfair advantage being Water/Dark if they make it Water/Fairy.

        Reply
          • What if for kicks they made Mega Milotic the Tender Pokemon into a Water/Ghost type to represent the siren you guys put so much faith into for being its cause of fairy typing

          • Well that’d be actually quite cool. The only mega that I’m looking forward to becoming a fairy though is Altaria. I was never head over heels for Milotic lol. I always presumed it would get either Water/Dragon or Water/Fairy.

      • You just don’t want it to be Fairy do you
        Just take it like this
        EITHER WAY no matter the type, It will CRUSH your ground types, and ALL your pokemon

        Reply
        • Now that makes sense because Mega Evolution does not always entail a type change but now everyone is treating it as mandatory

          Reply
      • Water/Psychic could be awesome :3
        But I much prefer Water/Fairy. It’s based on sirens, mythical beings. And Oarfish, which are rare, sorta beautiful fish.
        Then again, Water/Dragon would fit too, because it is based also on sea dragons and the Loch Ness Monster.

  5. After reading this article, I still don’t understand how contests work. I’ve yet to win one in Sinnoh. However, I still support contests nevertheless and look forward to seeing how they’ll be implemented this gen. I would love to see Mega Evolution utilized as well.

    Also, we can finally have Gen V-VI pokémon participate in them. I look forward to participating in contests w/ Meloetta!

  6. I’m not a contest person myself, but multiplayer contests would be fun, and using moves together would look awesome! :3
    I don’t ave much to add to the subject :3

  7. They can have cool prizes for winning Master Rank as well. Like certain mega stones for different Master contests. Milotite if you win Master Beautiful contest, Cameruptinite if you beat Master Tough and so forth…

  8. Grand Festival:

    – Show Off Phase, you must show off your Pokemon and earn as many hearts as possible
    – Battle Phase, you must battle trainers using only beautiful moves
    – Double Battle Phase, must battle trainers using only cool or cute moves
    – Finale, judged based on how many hearts you earn

    Rules and Points:

    1. using moves that have a different classification than required will subtract hearts
    2. winning against your opponent will get you 5 hearts
    3. winning against your opponent during the Double Battle Phase will earn you 10 hearts for each opponent you win against (max. 3)
    4. Mega-evolving is allowed and can earn you more points
    5. every coordinator starts with 5 hearts

    Reply
      • I think that’s unique and will actually allow coordinators to train their Pokemon to have different moves since most just have a Pokemon with all attacking based moves that are mostly classified as “cool.”

  9. You know how Jasmine, Pryce, and Wittney (I think) make cameo appearances in the crowd in Hoenn Contests? What other gym leaders do you think will make an appearance?

    I say Fantina since she’s a Contest Champion (or whatever they’re called in the Anime).

  10. 1. You must have earned five ribbons
    2. After beating the main story, you are invited to the Grand Festival
    3. You actually get a trophy that you put in your room… :3

  11. Stupid Mega Milotic arguments…honestly what makes things like Gardevoir and Mr. Mime Fairy?
    Game Freak can do whatever the hell they want with Mega Milotic…Including completely changing its typing to Dragon if they really wanted do.

    Reply
      • Look you all know i personally dislike fairy types but seriously i’m fighting out of logic that this Pokemon has nothing to do with Fairy Types
        Everyone is just so convinced that this Pokemon will have access to Mega Evolution and is guarantied to have a type change
        but you know something we don’t have any authority of what will happen
        I say not a fairy because it has nothing to do with fairies as it being a Ugly Fish that seen as truly beautiful then became beautiful but nothing more
        while the rest just hastily call for fairy typing because of Looks and is being supposedly based on Sirens which can be classified as Fairies but really nothing else
        We don’t even know if they’ll even give it one, its their game and they make the rules not us

  12. Anyone thing that the PAX from augest 29-September 1st will have a ORAS demo??

    i mean XY had one so it does seem sorta likely

  13. I’m definitely looking forward to 3D Contests 😀
    They will most likely make them Wifi compatible too, which will make them even better. I think Mega Evolutions will increase your hearts depending on each Pokemon snd category, e.g. Mega Alakazam for Smart, and Mega Sceptile for Cool 😉

  14. Milotic, Fairy or no Fairy?

    No:
    Milotic, although a beautiful creature has yet to showcase any capabilities of learning Fairy-type moves. If it does turn out to be a Water/Fairy, it has to either have a revamped move-pool or be able to learn Fairy-type moves through move tutor or TM’s. Unless this becomes a reality, it’s secondary typing will be all but useless except for the Dragon-type immunity. Beauty and healing prowess does not always equal a Fairy-typing as seen with Celebii, Jirachi, Blissey, Audino, etc.

    Yes:
    Milotic’s origins can be traced back to sirens, beautiful creatures capable of enthralling victims to a murky death. It can also be said that because of this Milotic has a genuine “Fairy” gene. However, the only support for Milotic’s supposed Fairy typing when it Mega-evolves is because of it’s vague origin.

    I would say there’s a minimal chance Milotic get’s a Fairy-typing when it Mega-evolves. However, you never know with TrollFreak.

    Reply
    • I believe it will.
      Milotic can have a revamped movepool. You never know.
      Water/Dragon would fit as well, because it’s based on a sea dragon, but I really want it to be Water/Fairy. It’s not vague. Sirens can be considered Greek fairies. They don’t have much else in their mythology that is considered a ‘true fairy’.

      Reply
    • Now this is the kinda facts i listen too
      I don’t want to be public enemy #1 just because i poo-poo the Fairy Type
      But i just want some facts and logic to be present in a way that both parties can agree to

      Reply
    • people want fairy for defensive reason not for offensive, sure milotic has decent SpAtt but her HP/SpDef is what shines for milotic

      Reply
    • It CAN happen. Milotic can become water fairy and have a new ability that makes normal type moves fairy types. Like refrigerate. Idk. I think thats a possibility.

  15. O no! I just realized that ORAS comes out the same day as Mockingjay part 1! ;-; Which midnight release do I go to? 🙁 I might be able to go an 8:00 showing but that means I’ll be like last in line to get ORAS. UGH. First world problems. Anyone else have this problem? Just me? Okay.

    Reply
      • God I know! The gamestop I got X & Y at (which is the same one I will also be getting ORAS at) did a thing that if you got there early they put you into groups or time slots so that at 11:50 they line everybody up in the group number they got. Which means I won’t be getting ORAS at a decent time since the line will probably be hella long..

        Reply
      • Well I would, but it’s kind of a tradition for me and my friends to go the midnight showings of the franchises we all like and it’s one of the only times we’re all together. 🙁

          • (I didn’t even like the book Mockingjay but I’m betting the movie will make it better than it was for me :o)

    • I’m not concerned with seeing an early showing of Mockingjay.
      I’m not to into the series like Divergent.
      If it it was Insurgent, then we’d have a huge problem.
      Then again, it would give me an excuse to go to a midnight release for a game. Never done that before.

      • I usually don’t. I’ve only done it for Halo 4 and X & Y. But I have to for ORAS….even though I will have class at 9:00 the next morning Dx But I don’t have to play it necessarily… I guess I can just get it and then when I get home from class I’ll already have it! >:D

  21. Am I the only one who hopes that they don’t change Milotics evolution back to what it was…? And if they do make it pokeblocks again, also keep the prism scale as an alternate method? Ooo, what if they gave Milotic a split evolution and it evolves into two different pokemon depending on which method you want to evolve it with.

    Reply
  22. For me I think design wise milotic should be fairy type. And yes there are many different ways you can think about it. My argument is that she is in the dragon egg group but her design can not be for dragon tbh. But who knows absol grew wings for fur and he’s still dark type only

    Reply
    • Wait u lost me
      So saying pro fairy or con fairy?
      But this is what i’m fighting so hard about, that everyone is going by either Looks or its siren origins (when originally it was damn fish) (and mostly by looks)
      Also Absol doesn’t have wings its just the fur standing up

      Reply
        • Duhh i know what a siren is
          Its a said to be a beautiful maiden that used its breath taking looks and enchanting singing to lure wayward sailors to their unknown doom by either killing them by eating them or leading them into harms way and in some cultures that were regarded a mythic beings such as fairies, nymphs and witches

          And then Milotic came from a ugly fish named Feebas
          I’m saying Sirens are sirens and Milotic is a Ugly fish that got lucky

          Reply
          • That is like the base of the Feebas line
            That something so Ugly can evolve to the most beautiful Pokemon

          • Don’t hate on the Milotic beauty, LOL. Yeah, the enchanting singing? You’ve heard Milotic’s cry right? Sirens are mythological, hence fairies. Bang.

          • They why doesn’t it learn Charm or Sing
            the only moves it can learn that a siren would learn is Attract and Captivate
            Not even Dazzling Gleam which could’ve been a dead ringer for them lovely rainbow scales but they don’t

          • Sirens were actually not beautiful. They appeared to be due to their enchanting voices. They cast a spell on them to make them see beauty when really they look like harpies (they are related to them).

          • Wooohoohohooh
            Did you call Milotic Ugly?
            I am sorry but can you not notice it has been called the most beautiful pokemon for YEARS

          • I am not calling any Pokemon Ugly or Beautiful
            Its just everyone calls Feebas Ugly (pokedex wise)

          • that got lucky
            Im saying that Feebas was tattered and old looking Pokemon that no trainers took a second glance at so they disowned its looks and deemed it “ugly” but then it evolved into this breath taking beauty

      • I’m going by origins, because it is a likely candidate. It might not happen, but it could based on being based on sirens. I have logic here too.
        I also said it likely could be Water/Dragon because it is based on a sea dragon.
        Either way, GF can do what they want. I’m jjust saying it most likely will be this, based on origins.

  26. I have a new argument and this has been bothering me. Yveltal is dark flying then we find out xerneas gains the new type and is better. That’s the first thing. Now there’s primal reversion. Why can Kyogre now destroy groudon??? And Kyogre has still one type. How exactly can there really be a war between them now Kyogre give one hit and groudon falls

    Reply
    • Because everyone favors water types over ground types…..
      And to be brutally fair, because the Sea is Water and The Land is Ground and that is a painful type advantage
      They gave Groudon a fire typing to reflect the inner mechanisms that is the Earth that its a big ball of dirt with a fiery molten core inside

      Reply
    • Their abilities are still currently “???” so maybe they’ll balance the game. Maybe they’ll give Primal Groudon Water Absorb or Storm Drain or something.

  27. Darn. It looks like my comment didn’t make it through. I was on my cellphone earlier.

    Anyway, as much as I would LOVE to have a Water/Fairy Mega Milotic, remember, this is Troll Freak we’re talking about. They’ll probably make her Pure Water.

    *crosses fingers for Water/Fairy though*

  28. Even tho some people may knock Megalutions, it really seems this was the best thing GameFreak could’ve ever done. It’s now a huge marketing tool, because there are so many Pokemon out there that can get Mega evolutions. It’s such a twist to the gameplay, yet so simplistic as pushing a button at the expense of another beneficial item. I love this new mechanic.

    • Exactly is also opens the competitive door for some weaker pokemon to now be used more. I love houndoom and manectric and they got well deserved megas

    • I 100% agree. The first ever time I saw Mega Lucario & Mega Blaziken I barfed. I almost cried. I thought 2nd stage Pokemon were getting natural evolutions with new names/dex numbers etc, and then once I read up on it and found about everything we know I’ve grown to love it. I…. like you, bless the series for doing it. Made the competitive scene so much more fun

  33. I agree with Earthen. It seems that every Pure Type Pokémon HAS to gain a secondary type when Mega Evolving.

    The only Pure Type Pokémon I can think of that keep they’re mono typing upon Mega Evolving are Absol, Kangaskhan, and Banette.

  44. Oh yeah, a funny story from the classic game shop a few days ago. I was looking for Pokemon Colosseum/XD in the GameCube department, I saw “Pokemon Colosseum” on the spine, I pulled it out in excitement, and…
    It was actually the Jirachi bonus disc, which I’m obviously not ready to purchase yet. I had a good laugh about that.

  45. Do you guys think Gen 7 will really be on a new system? I mean the Wii U is just now picking up and it’s been out for a couple years. Even though the 3DS has been really popular, I feel we’ll see more pokemon games after Z (or whatever) on the 3DS. I mean we saw Gens 4 & 5 on the DS (And DSi which doesn’t count) and that was about a 6 years span or so. The only reason to really update it would be so that the new system could support better graphics or something.

    Reply
    • Generations are getting bigger on each consoles now, gen 4 and 5 were on DS so I doubt Gen 7 will be on a different console

      Reply
      • Plus putting out another console might take away some momentum from the WiiU and I don’t think Nintendo wants to take that step. We won’t be seeing another Wii console for probably a really long time. They should stay where they are unless it’s really necessary to update the 3DS.

  48. Miley Cyrus: Has amazing vocal agility, able to resonantly belt up to E5/E5 without strain and rare G5’s. Amazing vocal control yet annoying tonal quality.
    Demi Lovato: Amazing voice with resonance and she WANTS to be known for her voice which, through time has established that title. Amazing belting power; able to resonantly belt up to A5 and even accumulate huge runs.
    Zendaya: Poor tonal quality, poor technique but nonetheless an amazing soul and above average control with her falsetto and head voice.
    Christina Aguilera: One of the greatest singers with a metallic and faked robust tonal quality. Has trained herself to destroy her own voice but nonetheless, during her prime, she gave other artists a run for their money.
    Bridgit Mendler: Have never listened to her.

  49. One thing I really don’t understand. What is going on with the ribbons? If they were planning to give the same contest ribbons they did in the original, then why did we lose our old ribbons ribbons in x and y? I don’t know what is going to happen with ribbons in these games, and I have yet to see someone other than me wonder about it.

    Reply
    • We’ll definitely get new contest ribbons because if you transfer a Pokemon that previously had an old ribbon to XY it gets converted into this new Commemorative ribbon. So they probably wanted to redesign them.

      Reply
      • I prefer them to be attached to the pokemon forever, even cross gen. A ribbon case might limit them to the game they are obtained on, so I wouldn’t like that. What would be cool though, is combining contests with battles like the anime did.

And the only genera of music selling is pop/EDM any other genera’s (R&B , rock and country) rarely chart. Also albums aren’t really selling that good. I remember you had to have at least 200,000 copies or more to at least be in the top ten. Now 50,000 copies give’s you a number 2 album 0.o years ago that number of copies would had put the album way lower on the charts.

    Reply
  93. Looking at this, I highly doubt that even though Hoenn is coming back that contests or even the Battle Frontier is coming back as well. One reason why that is, is once Game Freak removes something from the franchise it doesn’t come back. Example are the Battle Frontier which was replaced by the Battle Subway which was also replaced by the Battle Maison, Pokemon contests that were outright removed with no replacement and every gadget from each game, Pokenav (gen 3) to the Poketch (gen 4) to the C-gear (gen 5) to the bottom screen applications (gen 6). If I’m wrong does anyone have an example of when Game Freak removed something then brought it back?

    • For “replaced” I think you got it differently.

      Battle Frontier => Join Avenue (in function, perhaps?)
      Battle Tower = Battle Subway = Battle Maison

      Gen 3 is probably the first Pokemon to be remade that has certain unique facilities (contests, frontier) so this is the first time we will know if Game Freak will break back these generation-specific features.

  94. I’d like to see contests back. They were fun! My biggest hope for ORAS is that they don’t massacre Ruby and Sapphire’s original soundtrack. Johto had the greatest music of any region, IMHO, and HGSS really massacred some of the tracks. I love when they update the music to sound clearer and played on actual instruments (like the National Park), but PLEASE don’t change the melody and slow it down/speed it up to make it unrecognizable (like New Bark Town).

  100. 2/4 pokemon trained for Eevee friendly cup! Im planning on IV breeding Eevee though. IV’s in Defense and speed(or sp.def) Then

    Eevee @ Eviolite
    Ability: Anticipation
    Shiny: Yes
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
    Impish Nature
    – Work Up
    – Baton Pass
    – Return
    – Protect

    Reply
    • If you’re running Eevee, I’d recommend Adaptability over Anticipation. Gives Eevee a stronger STAB move in Return.

      Reply
        • True xP Never hurts to have a little extra power however 😉 Of course if you plan on evolving it afterwards, don’t change the Ability because its the HA and you can’t get Anticipation back xD

          Reply
          • But all it will tell you is if it has a fighting type move, which is unlikely with eeveelutions.

  101. WOOOOOW so it turns out that the phantom gate thing trademarke dis the name of the next tcg package for mega gengar -____-

          • Not the point
            If it weren’t for my losses against them they would have never been made
            Ergo every one of those damn memes is a humiliating reminder of said losses

          • Excuse me?!? I just said I am sorry for how you feel and you just gonna call me that. Earthen nobody is even referring to you in these memes, I could understand if maybe we weren’t calling you out on it, but we ARE NOT. You hate sableye so what, and you get reminded of that lose so what. This is pokemon a game, you are gonna lose to some pokemon and you are gonna hate some pokemon, and people are gonna love pokemon that you hate. How can a Simple loss hurt you that much! Okay I admit we were talking about you the first day, but not anymore. Not one person is referring to you. Sorry to tell you this but i don’t think the Sableye posts will not stop. It is like the meme here. Nobody purposely trying to post those to annoy you. Wyv is posting those to make us laugh, and it is working for me those memes are funny. Somethings just won’t be stopped, even it hurts you.

  102. So, on vacation, which I am stilll on, I brought my Wi. As I was playing with my cousins earlier, I remembered my failure Iin Mario Kart Wii.
    Dry Bowser.
    I hadn’t unlocked him, so I decided to go back and get a star or more on the 3 150cc courses I hadn’t achieved, including Special Cup.
    And I did! Just now I finished and got Dry Bowser! 😀 Yay I’ve wanted to do that since I was a kid.

  103. Yay, I’ve come to a conclusion on a new team member, likely replacing Sableye. It’s a strict Mega Venusaur counter because my team can not handle Mega Saur at ALL XD

    • I wonder what they could add to it’s design. Because it’s a pretty simple pokemon. But it would be nice to mega evolve my shiny altaria

      Reply
    • I mean, there HAS to be a reason they gave that thing Moonblast! Either
      A. They were strongly considering re-tryping Altaria to be part Fairy somehow.
      B. It’s getting Fairy type upon Mega evolving

      Reply
      • Or to help it kill other dragons since it’s not that great. Idk. Dragon/Fairy would be cool and would fit Altaria.

        Reply
          • 590 Base Stats, The End-All of All Dragons (being Fairy/Dragon)

            I’m really curious to how they’ll distribute it’s stats, cause Mega Altaria has the potential to be the staller equivalent of Mega Kangaskahn lol

          • 999/999/999/999/999/999

            JK XD I hope they don’t make it a Physical Attacker. If they’re gonna give anything to offense, give it to Special Attack xD Especially since they gave it Moonblast xD Increase Speed 10 points, add bulk, and a little more Special Attack. Holy cow O_O

      • It may have to do with Constellations
        then again they must just gave it just for fun
        Like Skuntank learning flamethrower or Slurpuff learning Energy ball

  112. Gimme Mega Plusle & Mega Minun. With the stones being version exclusive. Make them look Multiplication/Division-based, and maybe even have a little plusle/minun running around the mega form ^_^

    I can see them having new abilities for double battles.

    Reply
  113. Seeing as a lot of new Megas so far have been made it seems with the intent to counter strong metagame threats at the moment, I wonder what Ability a Mega Metagross would get. I know it’s probably not the popular opinion, I mean, I’d LOVE Iron Fist. But I can see it getting Levitate. There aren’t a whole lotta counters to Mamoswine. I mean, that thing is beastly XD Mega Metagross with Levitate however…

  114. And with that, I’m finally done with my shiny Pokémon! Babies, they are no longer. I can finally get back to MM.

  115. Wait, crap. I still need to evolve Gligar! I need the Razor Fang!

  116. http://pikanewsnetwork.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/what-does-diglett-really-look-like/

    New article written by me on Dicie’s website – PNN 😮 For those who love Ground Type Pokemon *Cough* @BigGuyI:disqus and anyone who is interested. It covers the concept of Diglett’s appearance under the dirt ; Talks about what Diglett is based on ; Uses dex entries to provide evidence and examples ; Uses facts about the animal that it is based on and explains why Diglett can use certain moves ; it also Uses evidence from Mystery Dungeon and includes many images.

  117. I forgot the address the irony of Dugtrio q.q

    Diglett and Dugtrio are based on moles – According to Wikipedia:

    “Moles are solitary creatures, coming together only to mate. Territories
    may overlap, but moles avoid each other and males may fight fiercely if
    they meet.”

  118. I’m guessing they will either:
    1. Release Contests with Hoenn rules, with Sinnoh contests reserved for the Sinnoh remakes.
    2. Release both Hoenn rules and Sinnoh rules contests in ORAS
    3. LRAStart – No contest!

    Either way, just like old times I will train a Milotic that will win all contests even those opposed to Beauty.

    Reply
    • As much as Milotic Water/Fairy is cool, it is in the Dragon Egg group too, and it gets no Fairy moves. Not that that can’t change, but I see Water/Dragon as the stronger possibility. (Selfishly want Water/Fairy)

      Reply
      • Good enough points, let’s see how it ends up if Milotic gets a Mega Evolution. ^_^

        As for the no fairy moves “problem”, Game Freak can randomly add fairy moves to whatever they desire (such as Play Rough on Donphan) so it’s not impossible to have Moonblast Milotic in the near future.

  119. another pokemon i hope it gets a mega is liligant, first of all she is a classy elegant motherf. and she got snubbed from the fairy type last gen. Plus she would look gourgeous on contests

  122. I played lots of Black 2 today, and I am currently on the track for the fifth badge. Once I get to my first legendary soft-reset target, I’m going to make a short film regarding the joys of soft-resetting and how it ties into the overarching “risk vs. reward” concept that drives shiny hunters to keep going. It’s something that I have been wanting to do for a long time. I’m going to script it this evening and tomorrow, and film it sometime later in the week, probably Thursday or Friday.

  124. I restarted X 3 weeks ago, slow progress means I’ve almost only reached Laverre town with the below party. (Some of them are imports.)

    (Korrina’s) Lucario, Tyrantrum, Delphox, Greninja, Blastoise
    Fletchinder (with Everstone equipped)

    Reserves:
    Absol, Sylveon, Heliolisk, Kangaskhan

    When I reach Zapdos I will be soft resetting until I get a Timid Hidden Power Ice one.

    Say, is Korrina’s Lucario always hasty with fixed IV’s? Soft resetting seemed to be doing nothing…

  126. There’s a chance “Delta Emerald” is the XY5 set according to PokeBeach. However, the terminology is slightly different than previous TCG trademarks. Here’s hoping it does turn out to be XY5 rather than becoming a new game.

  127. Phantom gate is actually a thing, so this must mean that gf is sticking to their trade marks. Maybe delta emerald is a possibility now?

    Reasons:
    -out of all speculated names they only picked delta emerald
    -the fan reaction to a 3d rayquaza scene would be amazing
    -they would make a lot of money

  131. According to online resources, the Delta symbol represents “change” and thus coincides with Rayquaza’s ability as it changes or alters the state of Kyogre and Groudon (stopping the almost inevitable fight between the two legends). The symbol, a triangle also represents “The All Seeing Eye” or “Eye of Providence,” a symbol commonly used to refer to God and thus coincides with the status of Rayquaza and because of it’s origins, it can be seen as the God. The lowercase version of Delta however is of a snake with a lower body representing, “O” and that’s where the theory of “Z” comes in.

    And maybe Wallace gets a type-change in his specialty, like from Water to Fairy (if a rumored mega evolution for Milotic proves true)?

    Reply
    • i think wallace would still be water as his gym badge is exactly the same

      i think that winnona may have a sky backround as her battle backround HOWEVER i doubt a sky battle will be mandatory as not everyone has a flying type at that point in time

      • Hee, the avatar is Adam Scott (Parks and Rec’s Ben Wyatt) as Green lantern.

        I was thinking Juan will be the Sootopolis gym leader and keep the gym as Water-type while his apprentice Wallace changes his type specialty as the Hoenn Champion.

        As for Winona, yep not mandatory but more like how sky trainers leave their battles as optional.

  151. On-topic: Seeing the Pokemon utilize their attacks in a Contest would be great. Would it be too much to ask if they added the Visual and Dance options from DP too? I imagine adding prop ops for every Pokemon’s 3D model may be difficult.

    • hmm i really just want a visual appeal round with the re addition of seals

      also i hope they added the battle rounds :/

  153. I don’t understand why people feel some type of way about most of the competive scene pokegenning. It’s there game and they could do whatever they want with it. You getting mad and jumping on them isn’t going to diffuse the situation. It just make’s you seem like a hater. So either stop complaining or stop competive battling

    Reply
      • Honestly. It wasn’t directed towards menacing. It’s mostly talking about the pokegeners vs the legit players. And I seen time and time again. Where somebody will attack somebody for having pokegen Pokemon ( even here) it just irks my nerves. I may not agree with pokegenning, but I’m not going to bash somebody for doing it. It’s there game and I have better things to get mad about.

    • Hmmmmm although i have no authority over what people can and can’t use in a team (regardless of tier level of cheapness)

  154. wow the funniest thing today is during my graduation my formal principal gave a quote on winners and losers

    now a winning arguement occured how ironic

    Reply
    • When a winner makes a mistake, he says, ìI was wrong.

      When a loser makes a mistake, he says, It wasnít my fault.

      A winner works harder than a loser and has more time.

      A loser is always too busy to do what is necessary.

      A winner goes through a problem;

      A loser goes around it, and never gets past it.

      A winner makes commitments.

      A loser makes promises

      A winner says, I’m good but not as good as I ought to be.

      A loser says, Im not as bad as a lot of other people.î

      A winner listens.

      A loser just waits until his turn to talk.

      A winner respects those who are superior to him and tries to learn something from them.

      A loser represents those who are superior to him and tries to find chinks in their armor.

      A winner feels responsible for more than his job.

      A loser says, ìI just work here.

      A winner says, There ought to be a better way to do it.

      A loser says, That ís the way its always been done.

    • you’re not going to do the musketeer trio first?
      but Regirock gave me problems; a couple months of soft-resetting (though not constantly) + pure misfortune w/moves (i missed 5+ hypnosis in a row) and pokeballs, + failing in counting how many moves it used = fail shiny :c

      Reply
      • I haven’t experienced the feeling of a failed shiny myself, but I think one of the thoughts running through my head would be, “I will see it again”. Sorry about that though, must have been rough. And yeah, I would rather go for the Regi’s first. If Game Freak hosts an event for those shinies, though, I swear XD

        Reply
        • It sucks when you fail catching a shiny, because you never really expect it. I watch videos on people catching the shiny i’m looking for (usually for motivation) and sometimes i find a fail video. I remember thinking to myself that it would never happen to me, yet it did :c
          Just be sure to practice several times (i would recommend way more than what you normally would think (i.e., if you think 30 is enough, do way more than that) just to make sure you minimize the chances of failing. :3

          Reply
      • Yeah it has most of them c:
        The ones it doesnt have include: Main legendary pokemon, excluding Kyurem (it technically has Reshiram & Zekrom, but those are shiny-locked), all the Kanto & Johto legendaries, most Hoenn legendaries (only one appears, an eon duo legendary, but it depends on the game you get; i dont think the other appears as a roaming legendary), Shaymin, Darkrai, Arceus, Thundurus and Tornadus (i think Landorus appears)

        Reply
          • Plus you can get the other eon duo pokemon (it will be roaming for you, b/c latias doesnt appear in b2 and appears as a roaming legendary in SS) and another Groudon (assuming that you’re restarting emerald)

      • It’s just the thought that a GAME started a fight over something that’s not relevant or real boggles my mind. I would never get into a fight over a video game and something as petty as contest partners. .-. Is it really that serious. Sounds stupid to me. But I’m done speaking on it. I just giving my #2cents

        Reply
        • To summarize what happened, he was butt-hurt that I called him a poser.

          I asked for a contest partner that likes fairies, he has NEVER expressed interest in a fairy Pokemon at all – but calls himself the “fairy king” ironically enough – so that sounds like a poser to me. So I called it how I seen it, and next thing you know, I get hit with a “atleast I don’t hack my Pokemon”. Where did that come from? Cause I SWEEPED you the last time we battled? Oh!

          It’s stupid to me to be pressed over my pokemon being better than his.. And that’s my 2cents.

          Reply
          • He’s been annoying me lately anyway. Like I came on here yesterday and was just reading over everyone’s comments without commenting myself ^_^ and I saw him write to igneous… “Heavy, Igneous is my hatching partner, we have more in common”… Well when did I ever agree on you being my hatching partner is what I thought to myself LOL. You literally know 0 things about me personally, and I to him, so why would I be offended that you guys have more in common with each other lol. Go hatch together and be boring together.. shit LOL.

            I posted a list of events I had earlier today and he randomely called them all hacks. I don’t know he’s been so pressed over my Pokemon lately.

  155. Probably see if I can knab a shiny Groudon off GTS. I have a shiny kyogre/rayquaza luckily.

    Have to do that sometime before ORAS comes out cause I’m pretty sure they will shiny lock Groudon/Kyogre LOL.

          • Gotta love that guy. Random change of topic but you did you see him dragging that guy on twitter like 2 days ago LOOOOL. He called him an inbred. I genuinly had tears rolling down. Garrett has a little potty mouth on him.

          • I reported him for harassment, even though Garret handled himself well. Homophobes should just die. Hell, saying you are homophobic doesn’t mean you are afraid of gays, it says you an asshole.

          • He was seriously disgusting. How can you just “@” someone on twitter out of the blue calling them all types of names just cause they’re gay. And when I clicked on his profile it damn near killed me to see that his bio said “Gay Hater”. Can’t believe this is still happening in 2014. He was clearly raised wrong. But I’m glad Garret put him in his place.

          • Say what?
            Yeah, people like that should not exist. I don’t understand.
            I was taught to love all people, despite who they are. Apparently, he didn’t watch the right stuff.
            We are all human beings. I just don’t understand these kind of people.

          • I agree. You can’t be born hating gays, you can only be taught to hate gays. So either his parents didn’t raise him right (well he is an inbred anyway) or he was watching all the wrong stuff like you said. Smh.

          • I wish you all were with me in real life because we could tell off my step dad because he is homophobic -_-

          • He needs help
            A ton of it
            Let’s just say he has a nephew who is gay and refuses to believe that he is apart of the his family

          • It is very mean, and this nephew just revealed himself last year (he is like 22 now) and so he basically putting 20 years of bonding down the drain

          • :O D:<
            I would have told him off.
            (Pardon my french) I would have said he was a fucking jerk and I will not deal with an asshole like him.

          • It hurts me to know that some people can’t just accept others for who they are. Why can’t we all love everyone for who they are? I hope he’ll be alright.

          • Exactly! 😀
            I can never hate anyone based on trival things like race/gender/who you like. It’s like hating a cake for being fatting. D:<

          • It also hurts me how they can’t allow gays to be married as well. They need to suffer like the rest of us (my gay uncle had a magnet that said that :3) But seriously, why can’t they get married? D:<

          • I know!
            Seriously, it’s not any different. It’s two people who want to get married and who love each other very much. Let them do what they want!
            It’s entirely bull.

          • What’s sad is that they quote the bible to defend their views on gay marriage, but the bible is against divorce too.

          • Yeah, if that’s not hypocritical, then IDK what is. The divorce rates are so high to begin with, yet, it seems to be brushed off regardless. Like spoiled candy.

          • I could NEVER prevent someone from marrying someone else if they really loved them
            I understand why it is such a big debate still what harm could happen? Seriously what harm could ever happen if Gays get married?

          • There is nothing wrong with it. The problem is that people are too devoted to traditional beliefs to accept new changes in our society. It’s most unfortunate.

          • I don’t know, why is it just so hard to accept who someone likes? It seems to be the easiest to accept, but we are in this age some can’t accept that. That is frustrating!
            And yea he is ok he did the best option, when my stepdad threated him, he said, “I don’t care how angry you are we are family and I love you.” And left. that guy is now one of my favorite people ever.
            I hope people can soon accept homosexuality soon because they won’t go away

          • While that’ll be sweet, you should cherish being a free-teen a few more years haha. When I was like 12 or 13 Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire were JUST coming out LOOL. If I wasn’t playing those games I was out playing Hide & Go Seek at the playground with some friends haha. I didn’t start working until I hit 18, senior year in high school. Started off as a cashier at the food market, and now I’m 22 and working for the state ^_^
