FEATURED THREAD: What game are you playing?














WOW. I was puling the weeds and getting rid of the wild bugs in my Berry Garden in XY, and all of a sudden, there was a flash of light on the berry trees behind me, thus telling me that the berries were ready to be harvested. I HAD NO IDEA THAT COULD HAPPEN!!!
Oras will officially be the best game in history.
It will have it’s own class at school
Ehh… That’s subjective depending on who you ask!
Just everything about it is amazing. Gf is really listening to its fans this game
The game is going to be good. Yet, my favorite Pokemon game is Platinum. My favorite game of all time is Xenoblade Chronicles. XD
My favorite game of all time is Pokemon Emerald
extremely subjective.
I’ll go head and say it ahead of time…
the zygarde game will be the best XD
Children, children.
Delta emerald will be the best.
Even if it *gulp*
ARRIVES IN TCG FORM D::::
It’s looking to b a much appreciated update to the old RSE games and I think I’ll prolly have more fun playing in Hoenn this time around lol
Idk about best game 😛
Cough Smash bros Cough
Pokemon sorry xD
Xenoblade Chronicles for me.
FFVII: Crisis Core for me.
JAHdlhsbflhdb;jkf;kkasnhfa;sf;kjn
I woke up pretty excited, went back to sleep, and woke up again more excited! 😀 😀
1. Dat Gym Leader/E4 designs. All have the look of change regardless of if they were or not. Like Phoebe. She looks the same yet different. And E4 have Mega items?! :O 😀 I can’t see Phoebe’s, but I think I see Sydney’s :3
2. Birch be looking the same ol’ jolly self 😀 I love it
3. I love that the Pokedex design is a throwback to the GBA :’D That made me feel nostalgic for a minute.
4. Contests! 😀 Can’t wait to hear more about them. AND AMIE IS BACK YES! 😀 Maybe those forms do well at Contests and can be unlocked in Amie? And Amie will be useful in Contests? :O
All I know is that we got more, and I’m lovin’ it. I am so content right now.
I may not have gotten Wally, but dangit I got Birch and other stuff. Wally will come.
Do u understand it’s summer vacation. Everyone brains powered off on a ton of reading!
He will come
IN CASKET
dundundun
I was think what if this is not a newcomer but newcomers like one big video of newcomers fighting each other
It’s a newcomer. He worded it in his Miiverse post. As I said below I have my money on Shulk, Chrom or Chorus Boys!
or he said newcomer video HE NEVER SAID he cant show off returning veterans in this video 😀 like charizard in the greninja
Plus. I believe it’s just 1 new character. Were not getting many characters revealed. Obviously he wants to save some for when we get the game.
i wouldnt be suprise if he shows off one veteran in this video 🙂 its going to a LIVE one trailer only its going to be a BIG REVEL or its just a video of him spinning in a chair
Big, you say? You know who’s big? Ridley.
Ridley
I will sob like a baby when the johto mega starters get revealed.
And I say when cause I know they’ll be coming soon.
Why would they not? XD
like the dragons in game of thrones
whats it was a pun from south park -_-
They all become Dragons. XD
Feraligatr will definitely become Water/Dragon. I can just feel it. It HAS to.
i dont get it….
I don’t think they are. The whole reason why the Kanto starters got Megas is because the Kalos ones didn’t. It’s a possibility tho.
well .. like you said… the kalos ones didn’t get them cause 6th gen pokes werent allowed to get megas yet… this game isnt about 6th gen mons… its a remake of the past ones.
Also, I think the dolls were a strong hint at them getting one. Not only that, but we actually received johto starters in emerald, I’m pretty content with saying they’ll get megas in this game.
You are striking a good point! I do remember receive a Johto Starter if you caught more than 200 Pokemon in your Pokedex! As I said it’s a possibility!
I want Water/Dragon Mega Feraligatr. With Maybe Fire/Dark or Fire/Psychic for mega typhlosion. Got the idea from this booster.

Grass Fairy meganium
with Filter ^_^
YES YES YES Mega Dusknoir and Mega Shiftry CONFIRMED!!!
Mega Medicham will be my smart contest
Mega Sableye is cute
Mega Swampert tough
Beauty TBA
I don’t think you would be able to Mega evolve in Contests. XD
Just in case we can
Mega Relicanth
Here is my team for ORAS! (If you never saw it)

==========
Why not Swampert?
Yeah ;~;
Okay now here are my teams!
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oRU5frc1VXpP_Xp5f-PnbBvEM2lqWnxarc0DtccyNkc/edit
Anyone else have their entire team almost entirley planned?
No. The complete Pokedex isn’t out yet.
If the elite 4 (not including champion steven) get mega’s I will laugh so hard when Sydney ends up with Mega Absol & Phoebe ends up with Mega Sableye XD
In both RS & E, the final pokemon Sydney uses is Absol. #FoodForThought
*Sidney. (Sydney is the female ver. of Sidney. XD) Anyways that’s what I was thinking. Sidney’s star Pokemon was Absol. Phoebe’s was Dusclops tho. I would like to see a Mega Shiftry that would be sick.
Oops. I spelled it like :Sydney” because Moving spelled it that way up above in the article lol. Let me learn to not copy & paste his name spelling anymore ^_^
I do still feel like Mega Dusclops is possible!
i really feel like mega shiftry wont happen because of “leaf stone” and out of the 36 mega’s we currently have – none of them previously evolve from evolutionary stones.
But that sounds normal to me
haha yeah. Was just stating that because people are expecting mega shiftry (but he also utitlizes an absol which is supposed to be his real main poke).
Oooohhh
The Elite 4 is gonna be way tougher than in R/S/E 😀
I hope so
And RSE were pretty tough already. I’m scared
I would not mind. But I still dont see them given a Mega to each of E4. At least not the first time you battle them. Maybe for rematches
I 100% agree with this. Not everyone needs to utilize a mega
Honestly Maxie/Archie, Steven and Wallace (if he’s there ) is enough for me
Maxie – Mega Camerupt
Archie – Mega Sharpedo
Steven – Mega Metagross
Wallace – Mega Milotic
Rival – Mega Starter
Wally – Mega Gardevoir (if he gets a female ralts)
Aarune – Mega Flygon (possibly?)
thats good enough for me lol
Yeh. I forgot about the Rival and Wally. Duh.
But yeh that’s about all I see actually utilising megas in the main story
Mega walrien
Mega Dusknoir
Mega shiftrey
Mega salamencr
I’m calling this. Shiftry prolly won’t happen.
Thisis awesome! Contests are back! And you can dress up your pokemon(Not to be a buzzkill but thats just another thing Sinnoh did right)! I really like the pokedex! With it being shaped like a GBA.
I like the customisation feature (if that’s what you can call it) but I hope it’s not an integral part of the contests. That and the dancing thing is what I hated about Sinnoh contests.
I liked the dressing up part of Sinnoh contests….not the dancing, though, that can go away.
With me it’s just that I’m not a fan of character dressing up/customisation.
I liked customising secret bases though.
I just hope contests are easier to perform. I had no idea what I was doing in the Sinnoh Contests, and I’ve yet to try out the Hoenn Contests.
Hoenn contests are A LOT easier IMO. You’ll catch onto them really quickly.
Now that Steven is the champ the question is…
Is Juan or Wallace the gym leader
I personally hope it is Juan because he trained Wallace and I think he was harder. Wallace should be the contest champ. It can be in every Master contest, Wallace is there with one of his Water types or, he is only in Master Beauty with Milotic.
Wallace ;~;
Wallace. It’s a remake of Ruby/Sapphire. Not Emerald.
i think it be nice if Juan has some type of role in the game
THIS!! Juan for leader, wallace for “other” XD
So it seems the gym roster is based on ruby and sapphire and Wattson main is Magneton in RS
One thing that I hope they fix in OR/AS is how much you battle your rival. I would say you barley battle Brendan or May in the original games. Also, their teams were awful and were super easy to beat. I hope Game Freak toughed them a bit and made there battles a bit more frequent.
Route 110, tho
Oh my god…don’t even
Omg. I hated that battle D:
Except the one under the bridge
X/Y was the same way
Which was one of my problems with X/Y. Yet, comparing Serena/Calem to Brendan/May to the number of battles Serena/Calem come out on top with five battles. You only battled Brendan/May four times.
They didn’t even have the final form of the starters
Aww… Look at Watson.
I sincerely hope those suits aren’t exclusive to Pikachu in contest.
Pikachu can go to its corner.
What’s wrong with Watson?
I like him XD
He such a cheerful chubby fellow.
My aww isn’t in disgust, it’s admiration. He’s jolly. :3
I want my Madame Metagross god dammit
If I don’t get a trailer soon, something will break and it won’t be my fault.
yea it would be mine and i would accused you
if any place in Hoenn could be a Stage in smash bros what would it be and why
Sky pillar
But you’d fall through a crack
I’d like to see the Lilycove contest, as in the actual ‘stage’ bit. Have pokemon use attacks as they attempt to impress the judges. Some attacks obscure the players screen, others deal damage
i really hope customization returns.some people say it is just for x and y. but it felt like something that should be in every game. ever since i started my journey to become rebooted i always wanted customization. you cant give it to me and take it away.
trainer customization?
– introduce it in XY
– pull it out of ORAS & make people miss it
– reintroduce it in the Zygarde based game bigger & better than before, more clothing stores in the region that neighbors Kalos
New customisation feature where you can design your own clothes
take my coins now.
take my loot sir!!!
Gosh. XD Your still on that region thing. I still don’t think that Kalos would have that. (Your allowed to internet punch me if it does!)
*Internet punch*
German region is happening.
I want that for Gen 7. Plus Critical Hit.
why wouldn’t it? the backpacker pretty much confirms this. And we all know zygarde will get its own game. Not only did the backpacker support this, but the official guide has said 6th gen will have more regions… REGIONS… with an S.
AZ’s floette
Strange Souvenir
Backpacker
& The official XY guide mentioning the new region supports a new game/new region. So yes I will punch you when it happens.
It don’t think it is anymore. The only thing I hope were getting back is selecting your skin tone and eye colour.
i would be glad with that. at least our hats
No. It’s not coming back for ORAS.
how do you know
And what do you mean become rebooted? xD Plus these games are “full-on remakes”, so it will not return here.
i was a random tester then i became rebooted soon i will be reborn
No you won’t xD
Just give the option for the male character to wear a trench coat and I’ll be happy (I want a black one cause Sherlock)
I’m guessing Pokemon-Amie is back, which is integrated with Contest.
yea i hope u can dress up any pokemon
Snorlax would be Smexy in his Idol outfit
It’s in the Pikachu picture.
This is weird. I can see people replying to my comment, but those replies won’t show up until I refresh.
REFRESH!
…..what the heck..? Your comment didn’t require me to refresh…
Ugh!
Nope, never mind. I had to refresh to see that “Ugh!”
Did you see my
“It’s in the Pikachu picture.”?
it happen to me too just refresh the page
guys dont suspect a pokemon in smash bros reveal on monday its possible shulk since his game company retweeted the announcement
Monolith Soft?
it was the director
Xenoblade’s writer. Not the director.
https://twitter.com/yuichiro_takeda
i dont know still connects to shulk afarr
If you didn’t know then you would have said someone from Monolith Soft. XD I know it connects to Shulk and he might be shown. I want to see him fight with that Monado!
he said 3 mintues that enough to show off a Veteran XD
Hey Gamefresk for the love of Everything make this game hard and do not give gym leaders the exact same roster as RS
If they do that. What’s the point of calling it a remake. 😛
True…
They won’t keep the teams the same as RS, there are new pokemon to choose from now. I expect Roxanne and Brawly to remain the same (as had no duplicates)
OMG POKEMONAMIE IS BACK I’M SCREAMING <3
Wait…why are not all of the gym leaders and e4 being shown? Seems weird.
ikr i am so excited to play with my starter again i hope they add more features do like new animations
Maybe some will be replaced. 😮
I don’t think so! I think their just want to reveal more later one. As I said if Game Freak replaces people or removes this then it’s not going to be a true remake.
With the addition of Mega Evolution and Primal Regression, I don’t think you can call it a true remake.
Weeeeell that’s like saying HG and SS were not true remakes because of the pokeathlon, and the prevos/evos that didn’t exist first time around, and the new physical/special system. I think it’s a ‘true remake’ if the story and all the important characters basically remain the same.
duh because they are camera shy
Replacing Drake & Glacia would be tragedy. The game’s won’t be “full-on remakes” then like they said.
The idea of a Pokemon remake is too re-do the graphics engine to fit the newest handheld, but add in existing features like Amie & Mega Evolution etc. If they were to remove Drake & Glacia they’d pretty much be considered sequels.
I think Glacia & Drake are just being saved (maybe for next corocoro who knows) – but I don’t think they’d replace them. They have fanbases.
What was your reaction to the Japan’s shiny Jirachi event? XD
MEGA JIRACHI STEEL/FAIRY CONFIRMED
lmfaooo I mean I screamed when I saw it, but all I could think about was it getting a mega soon. Come on, the inclusion of Moon Blast though? It has to happen.
Serene Grace Moonblast has a 60% chance to drop opponents Special Attack
Ooo so it has a newer clever niche =)
It’s gonna make a great geomancy recipient XD
Don’t do this to us ;_;
Also, they showed off the first five Gym Leaders and two of the Elite Four. The still have three more to show off and two more Elite Four Members!
Or cause the other half of the gym leaders and last 2 elite fours aren’t done being completed yet and are still being revamped
This!
I doubt they’re replaced, probably just saving them for the next issue along with Tate & Liza and Winonna
I doubt they’d be sequels seeing as Steven is the champion, in Emerald he stepped down, doubt he’d take the place again
That’s what I said below. Removing any characters would cause it to be a new game. HG/SS didn’t remove anyone! Yet, they added new characters to improve the game and story!
I don’t they are being replaced but just saved for the next Coro Coro. Same with Winona, Tate and Liza and Wallace
Wallace could tie in nicely next month if they reveal more on contests
