  1. Is anyone still alive in here? Lol. Apparntly, djja’s advice of playing the demo 10 times a day to get the “special mission” doesn’t work. From reports I’ve heard… people have played for as much as 6 days straight, nothing. What are the requirements? I want to know so badly! Lol.

  2. While I was flying around with Steven in the demo version, I noticed the Abandoned Ship in the distance, yet there was no Trainer data or Location data for the Ship programmed in the demo dump. All the routes nearby have already been programmed. I cross referenced trainer names and recognized the levels as being at that point in the game. I also think Trick House trainer data isn’t programmed either. Even further proof the demo was a very early build.

  3. I wonder what that island to the right of Mossdeep is, the one seen when flying with Steven Stone? I don’t think it’s Ever Grande City. It looks like it’s really high up and can only be accessed by flying with Latias/Latios. But then again, you can only see a glimpse of it and the side where the Waterfall is is cut off, in other words, you can’t see it. I have a really bad sense of direction, so it probably is Ever Grande. But to me, it just doesn’t look like it is.

  4. “X and Y was like just a test game” <— TyranitarTube quote. I hate to admit, but I think he's kinda right. Lack of post-game and overall content in those games kinda confirms that they were testing the software out. At this point, ORAS looks to have way more content than X and Y, especially with some of the demo dump data we've seen. They started ORAS back in 2012 and this was when they likely were almost finished X and Y and had enough time to experience around with the 3DS software. I honestly think X and Y could of been way better. Elite Four rematches at the League would of been so nice.

      • They do. They really do. I don’t hate X and Y, I don’t hate any main series game really, I just think it had a lot of points that make it be deemed one of the weakest in the series but also a lot of strong points. The Pokemon introduced were great and the new concepts such as customization and Super Training were very excellent! Don’t get me wrong.

    • Did you really just figure this out?
      Sorry, that came off worse than I meant.
      But it was pretty obviously a test, as it was the first mainstream pokemon game on the 3DS, so they needed it as a test. ORAS and Z will be much better.

    • Yeah, XY can be considered the bridge between old school Pokemon and new school Pokemon. I don’t think XY was as bad as people are making it out to be though, it had so many contributions to the future of the franchise. Sure, the post game sucked but, it doesn’t make it a bad game.

        • – Character customization
          – 3D models
          – Moves actually make contact
          I mean there is so much more but I can’t think of them all.

        I liked the pokes and new mechanics
        But hated how uninvolved the characters were, how easy it was, and how long it took for the plot to form.

          • Not really. It’s the easiest no matter what. Normally you have to walk into the 5/6 pokes level 50 – 60s that the E4 have, in this you could walk into their later 40s.

          • They should HAVE made EXP Share a hold iitem. They should have made it so you don’t get exp by catching a pokemon. They should have given the gym leaders and E4 more pokemon at higher levels. Same with all npcs.

        • EXP Share makes it harder.
          Should know, I always play with it off, and I have to grind to beat Gym Leaders and Elite Four. Even some trainers are hard….especially those damn Battle Girls/Guys

      • You are right! I don’t hate any main series game. There are a lot of strong and weak points, but most people seem to hinge on the weak points more than the strong. I mean, we got so many features that will pave the way for future games. I’m so glad that Super Training, Aime, and PSS are features to stay and that they weren’t one off. And customization will probably come back in Z and Generation VII, so it to will be a main stay. ORAS was an exception to the rule for customization, since it’s a remake of an older game.

    • “Hackers have found from the ORAS demo that there are 2 more games that use the kalos pentagon. Most likely for X2 Y2 or kanto remakes for their 20th anniversary.”- Tyranitar Tube

    • Sure, it could have been a test game, but I love X and Y. I love replaying it. So much variety in Pokemon, and the features are so nice.
      I love the Pokemon introduced.
      I didn’t mind the lack of postgame since I could always replay it if I wanted to.
      I just didn’t like how they introduced so few Pokemon, that’s my main compliant.
      I love Lysandre and how he wasn’t truly a villain but someone who wanted to change the world with brilliant reasons, but in the wrong way. It’s how most people are, they don’t know they are the villains because they have innocent reasons and a great purpose but a wrong way of doing it.
      I find it weird that people don’t like it so much, but then again, we all have different opinions and I’ve been known to be quirky in my own way. And I go with the flow a lot, I rarely don’t like someone or something and I don’t like focusing on the negatives, just the positives. I am not good at giving critique sometimes because of it xD
      I really love it, and no amount of reasoning will dissuade me otherwise.

  5. Happy Shiny Saturday
    Shiny Saturday Question
    Have you ever found a shiny in a horde while EV training except it was not the right horde pokemon you wanted and so you could either catch it and reset the EVs or Run and keep the EVs?
    If so what was the Shiny Pokemon?
    And what did you do?
