  1. I will only buy the game in the end of December or else I’ll fail collège and be broke XS. Idk if I should get Mudkip ( my fav one) because I will get a Milotic… Hard choices. I’ll probably have a pidgeot 🙂

  2. Its a shame they won’t have player customization. I don’t mind the fashion part so much, but it would be nice to have some control over the skin, eyes and hair color. I mean what fun is it if all the trainers look the same?

    • But it’s for nostalgic reasons though, since it is a remake of a game before it. IT makes sense. It’s also why the Center and Mart are separated.
      Plus, they’ll still have the various icons in the PSS. So there.

      • Icons in the PSS aside, beyond facing trainers of the opposite gender, it’ll look like two Mays or two Brandon are battling in online battles. Basic Skin, eyes and hair color tweaks would at least give some distinction between trainers beyond name and gender.

  3. It seems as though the wait for OR/AS wasn’t as excruciating as the one for XY. Not saying the hype for XY was greater, but there weren’t huge periods of no news like in XY, such as after Sylveon was confirmed.

    Anyways, SO hype for this game. I will probably end up picking Mudkip, as that was my first starter in Sapphire. Similarly, I plan to get Alpha Sapphire (hopefully the Dual Pack, if I have the money) on release day. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get it at midnight but at least I’ll still get it.

  4. I don’t know what I should pick.
    Either Mudkip or Torchic.
    Torchic was my first starter in NY.
    I’ve never used Mudkip.

    ((Im not using Treecko because I used that way too much.))

    And I’ve planned my team!

    Blaziken/Swampert
    Gardevoir
    Delcatty/Zangoose
    Manectric
    Froslass/Walrein
    Shiftry

  5. My favorite mega evolution is mega salamence. I’ve always liked salamence it’s one of my favorite Pokemon and probably my fav dragon type. It’s just so dope. ,y least fav megas are mega pigeot and mega audimo because I feel like their irrelevant and a waste of a spot.

  6. I’m going to play with Torchic or Treecko first. I didn’t get to use Mega Blaziken so it is kind of new of me. I know my team is at least going to have 4 or more Mega (Able) Evolutions. Hoenn has a lot of them.

    I just can’t wait for the Music, Story and Graphics of the Hoenn Region. I’m super hype! :] (My favorite revealed Mega Evolution is Mega Salamence & Gallade.)

  8. Mega Evolution Act III is coming Spring 2015. It’s going to involve Primal Groudon and Kyogre. Hopefully, there is a sick battle between them! (Refresh; Sorry for the tiny image.)

    Reply
  9. Mega Steelix, Mega Glalie, Mega Rayquaza and Mega Salamence are my favorites. I have a preliminary team planned as well! Here it goes…

    Swampert (Mega)
    Pidgeot (Shiny, Mega)
    Xatu (Shiny, Mega…?)
    Armaldo
    Sharpedo (Mega)
    Gallade (Mega)

    Notice how I didn’t use a single one of my favorites 😛 so yes, a lot of focus on potential Mega Evolutions! I like to keep my options open. Of course, this will be one team out of many.

  10. Im actually stuck between a few megas. Mega Steelix I actually really like, and mega Altaria also.

    Ill be using Swampert on ruby my main and Sceptile on Sapphire.

    This could all change with Mega Milotic and Mega Flygon 😉

  11. You guys are all bringing over your shiny IV bred competitive babies for your main playthrough and I’m catching everything in the wild.

    I’ll transfer stuff over for competitive.

  12. My team has finally come down to this after many changes:

    Swampert
    Breloom
    Drapion
    Torkoal
    Flygon
    Glalie

    There r so many other Pokemon I wanna use in game, but if I did I’d have to change the formula in which I chose these Pokes lol

    Reply
  13. AS: Blaziken, Flygon, Ludicolo, Gardevoir (Also my partner :D), Aggron, Dusknoir
    OR: Swampert, Shiftry, Swellow (I have never used one, actually :3), Camerupt, Manectric, Walrein
    There….my idea of what my team will be. I also really wanted to use some others, like Breloom and Slaking, especially Breloom, but I decided against them. I can always replay the games and use them anyways :3

    Reply
    • I like your team, cause I like balance. But what is this about how Gardevoir is your partner lol? He’s my partner too! (My cousin once told me that Gardevoir was my signature Pokémon lol.) As for my team? Well, I can’t give out that information cause I wanna keep it a secret. =P

      Reply
      • Wat. Stahp.
        I have always caught a Ralts on that route, and I will not stop.
        Gardevoir and Blaziken have never failed me, ever.
        I have a lot fo good memories of them.

        Reply
        • I kid you not, I would ALWAYS search on that route (specifically the patch of grass closest to Petalburg) for a Ralts. Sometimes it would take a couple hours, but I could not, and would not, move on until I found one.

          I don’t know if that makes me determined, superstitious, or both lol.

          Reply
          • OMG same like wat.
            Except I did it on the other side. I was unwilling to face the Trainers on the route until I had one. I wanted one before Wally xD
            And I always looked for a female Ralts….not because I have anything against male ones, it just that it reminds me of why I fell in love with Gardevoir in the first place…cause it was a guardian angel to me. I always wanted one, and here it was, just waiting for me to befriend it. I always imagined my angel to be female, dunno why xD, but yeah.

    • My team throughout the story will be (OR):
      Sceptile/ Mega Sceptile
      Event Shiny Metagross/ Shiny Mega Metagross
      Groudon/ Primal Groudon
      Swellow
      Hariyama
      Demo Glalie/ Mega Glalie
      I think I’ll have a balanced team to play the storyline 😀

      Reply
  14. So my teams are
    AS: Sceptile, Gallade, Skarmory, Camerupt, Milotic, and Armaldo
    OR: Swampert, Shiny Event Metagross because I couldn’t think of another thing I wanted, Claydol, Altaria, Dusknoir, and Torkoal

    Reply
    • I just got a Snorunt from Pokemon XD with some exclusive moves like “Sing, Body Slam” and a few others. Mega Glalie with Sing LOOOL that will catch people off guard. And a refridgerated body slam is stronger than a headbutt

  15. I was sitting in front of these *excuse my language* basic ass bitches on the charter bus and they were talking about pokemon. But it was seriously pissing me off because they were complete D-bags and I get super defensive when people I don’t like try and talk about something that I like. They were trying to say that team galactic was shit. And it’s not just that they were saying that they felt “Hoenn had the most thought out storyline”. Don’t get me wrong, Hoenn is amazing and so is the story but there is no way it has a more logical evil team storyline than some of the other games. It’s not even practical. I was seriously about to turn around and slap da shit out of them with a sock full of quarters. They don’t know shit

  16. When you call Yveltal the “Soul Reaper Pokemon” and not the “Grim Reaper Pokemon”, that means you’ve watched too much anime. 😀

  17. Was I the only one who thought that you had to max out the happiness of a Pokemon to Mega Evolve it back when it was first revealed? “Strong bonds with Pokemon” made me think that haha

  18. Just letting you guys beforehand that I will be out of town (on vacation) from Saturday morning to Tuesday night so I will not be able to post articles on my website or on Pokejungle, and I won’t be able to respond to PMs either, so if I don’t get back to you, I’m not ignoring you.

    Also, things will get more serious on my end as far as Disqus commenting goes. I probably won’t be making as many jokes as usual or using as many emoticons and stuff because I need to live up to being a Gym Leader.

    Thank you guys for your understanding and I will talk to everybody soon.

  19. I saw the Strongest Mega Evolution Act II yesterday and after seeing all the Mega Evolutions we know by now I don’t think that we will have any new Mega Evolutions
    But I think that the post league story will be very interesting, with the Mega Rayquaza story!
    I just want to know how Primal Reversion is related to Mega Evolution! So much hype!

    Reply
    • I think it has already been confirmed there will be seven more Megas after the demo was dumped. That’s why we’re all desperately waiting for corocoro

  21. My team will have:

    Treeko/Grovyle/Sceptile (mega)
    Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox
    Cossplay Pikachu
    Feebass/Milotic (maybe mega?)

    Sableye (mega)

    ether Trapinch or Taillow

    (I personally don’t really care about balance, this team will work just fine for me. 😀 )

  22. I hope there will be new Unowns like Unowns Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omega. Also there will be a few more new Mega Evolutions like Mega Slowking, Mega Froslass, Mega Butterfree, Mega Dragonite, and Primal Rayquaza (Primal Reversion).
