  1. Have shitty Battle Maison Brains been confirmed to use Battle Frontier music in the coding of the game?

    Also, are Gym Leader Rematches found? I still haven’t found anything about them and the final coding still has Level 5 Zigzagoons as placeholders!

    Reply
  2. Imagine: December, Pokemon ORAS gets updated randomly without any update notes. Open up the game, your mom calls you on your Pokenav and says “someone” wants to see you. You get home and see Scott. He then gives you the Frontier pass. Where are you when heaven falls?

    Reply
  3. So, anyone shown Gym Leader Rematches officially?
    I don’t want word of mouth because I’m paranoid.
    And Elite Four Rematches confirmed in-game yay!
    Thanks @piofelipe:disqus, I was afraid they were gonna remove them.
    Again, very paranoid person here.

  4. Well lads since ORAS is coming out in a few dozen of hours for me. I have been wondering… I was planning to have a Gallade in my team but the dastard requires a Dawn Stone. Any leaked information as to where can I find it?

    Reply
  5. @Big_Ol_Booty:disqus I translated the article, it says nothing about Gym Leader Rematches. No pictures either. And Taco Man (the Spanish leaker) isn’t even at post-game. How the hell would he know? Just gonna face the hard facts. Gym Leader Rematches likely deconfirmed.

    Reply
  6. Has anyone used a Grumpig before? I want to use a team of pokemon I’ve never used before on my first playthrough and was wondering if it’s usable

    Reply
  7. If the Battle Frontier Versus theme found in the coding is for the Battle Maison Brains, I will scream at Junichi Masuda. But then again, you could select the music you could use when going in the Battle Maison. If that’s one of the options (which I honestly hope it is not), then we can all kiss our Battle Frontier and Battle Tower good bye.

    I have a feeling if that’s the case, then Game Freak is saying: “We’re lazy developers. Battle Frontier and Battle Tower Unconfirmed. Please Understand. Just have a shit copy of the Battle Maison and enjoy that instead!”

    Reply
  8. It really is odd that Battle Frontier haven’t been confirmed yet…what’s even stranger is that Not even the Battle Tower is confirmed,but the shitty battle maison has

    Reply
    • Wait…….in the article, those pics……..does that imply that Birch gets attacked by a variety of people and Pokemon? hahahaha That’s funny

      Reply
    • Isn’t it called like faraway island or something or is that mew? I remember that there was a place maybe it was naval rock that you get him thru event

      Reply
  9. It really is starting to hit me now that the game is out for most of the world that it is another week before i get to play 🙁

    Reply
  10. Mirage Island found says Serebii.
    Just Munna and Ditto. Ditto probably because No Emerald’s Ruin Path behind Route 114 Fossil Maniac’s house.
    No Wynaut.
    Can’t confirm if it’s like it is in RSE.
    In that, you can’t get to it all the time.

    Reply
  11. After defeating Wallace, you will get HM05 and he will tell you to go see
    Professor Birch for he has a National Pokédex for you. This coincides
    with non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon appearing in the areas of Hoenn such as the
    islands and Sewaddle in Route 101. These appear through DexNav. What a fucking joke! National Dex BEFORE the Elite Four. Game Freak, are you drunk?

    Reply
  12. “Inside the Battle Maison, there’s a person mentioning that he’s scouted the Pike Queen and questions if anyone matches Scott’s standards”

    This is from Serebii….. there is far too much Frontier talk for there not to be something going on.

    Reply
      • Yeah…. it really does seem like they are planning some sort of DLC patch that adds more stuff to the game or there is another game coming. There is also an awful lot hinting at the closeness of Hoenn and Kalos which makes me wonder if the reason for this is that a 3rd game will be released which does a HGSS and includes 2 regions. Would be a new twist on the sequel formula introduced with BW2.

        Reply
        • The sequel of XY has us go back to Hoenn to witness Kyogre vs Groudon. We have to go find Rayquaza who mega evolves and stops them. Scott witnesses this and invites us to the Battle Frontier

          Reply
    • No more Megas.
      Serebii and Project Pokemon confirmed.
      The Mega Flygon and Mega Milotic fanboys are crying all over the place.
      But there is hope! NPC’s say new Pokemon (as in Pokemon that have not gotten Megas) are reacting to Mega Stones or something along the lines of that. Can’t officially confirm that.

      Reply
    • Not yet… i say yet because like with the Battle Frontier many NPC’s are suggesting there is more to come. It really does seem like this is not the full game (either DLC or time based events activating) or that a sequel is coming?

      Reply
  13. Idk what to think about all these Battle Frontier hints anymore.. The hints are so vague, you can’t tell whether there’s more to it than just random NPC text .-.

    Reply
  14. New things seem to happen everytime you beat the league such as new starters becoming available so it is possibly that new megas and BF could open up after you beat the league a certain amount of times…. ironic seeing as you had to beat the frontier facilities a certain amount of times to challenge the frontier brain’s…

    Reply
      • Exactly! Hahaha but in all seriousness they did this sort of thing in the demo where the more times you played something the more you unlock so it is possible and early unlockables suggest it is the E4 that is the trigger- certainly for getting each set of starters anyway.

        Reply
  15. Sinnoh Starters confirmed. “After another bout with the Elite Four, when you exit your house, Birch calls you again and this time, he has mistaken his wife for a wild
    Pokémon. Classic. This time, Sinnoh starters. Once again, no Hidden Ability so either they definitely don’t have any, or I have the worst luck, most likely the former.” Serebii Discovery Thread. Post 18.

  16. There’s a person in the Battle Maison with the text:

    “Wh-who are you? The sight of you set my Seviper shivering!
    I’ve been watching the matches from up here, but the Trainers here are rank amateurs to the last. The only ones here who even begin to compare to me in terms of skill and beauty might be those gaudy little girls calling themselves Battle Chatelaines.”
    … Sounds like Lucy to me lel

  17. Everyone losing their shit over Battle Frontier.
    Including me.
    Game Freak better have something planned!

    Fandom: “THIS IS TORTURE!”
    Game Freak: “It’s just a reference. Nothing more.”
    Fandom: “A HELPLESS REFERENCE!”
    Game Freak: “Sit down at once and we will consider adding the Battle Frontier and overlooking this savage behavior!”
    Fandom: “YOUR BEHAVIOR IS SAVAGE! YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE ARE THE BARBIANS!”
    Game Freak: “WHAT?”
    Troll: “Game Freak, don’t let the savages get away with this!”
    Game Freak: “SEIZE THEM! AND NEVER LET THEM SEE THE BATTLE FRONTIER EVER AGAIN!”

    Pocahontas II reference fits nicely.

    • Fuck off, your shitty attitude and repetitive comments are annoying as hell. There’s nothing you can do about it, get the FUCK over it.

      Reply
      • So you’re not mad that these games have numerous references to the BF, But the BF isn’t actually in the game?

        You’re not mad that these games have no secret Megas?

        You’re not Mad that these games have no secrets to be found?

        Reply
          • The only reason you’re not mad is because you’re blinded by your love for hoenn.

            I will buy these games but no Megas and BF is extremely dissapointing

          • Sucks for you bro. But BF is literally the most oversaturated and unneeded additions to the game. It’s a waste of data, most people battle online anyways. No new megas? Ok. Just wait ’til the next game, it’s only a little over a year away.

          • I Wouldn’t say BF is unneeded and oversaturated, but i understand what you mean.
            The thing is, i wouldn’t be nearly as mad about BF,i GF hadn’t filled those references.

            As for new megas,i really wanted megas to be hidden like XY.
            And i really wanted Mega Milotic

          • I wanted mega Milotic more than anyone on this site. Have you ONCE seen me flip shit about it not being a thing? No. Get over it.

          • Pretty sure you can’t base an argument on “I wanted it more so I’m right!”

            People have the right to be unhappy about something in a game that they looked forward to so much. Stop being such an elitist.

          • FINNALY!!!!! Someone else that see’s that crap for what it is. A total waist of time, and effort. And a waist of game space. Thank you.

  18. Everyone keeps saying megas will be dlc. But why can’t they be event items? I mean no one has dumped the games right? Only demo and pokebank! For all you know pokebank will get another update when the event megastones are revealed! With battle frontier of course Its a different matter…

    Reply
  19. Right now, most of us don’t even have the games yet,but we’re still complaining, the games aren’t out in Europe till The 28th.

    All of us should be glad that Hoenn is here and it’s better than ever.

    Besides GF obviously has a few surprises up their sleeve.

    Reply
  20. Still no confirmation of Gym Leader Rematches via PokeNav Plus by Serebii.
    Welp, losing almost all hope about that.
    There was so many rumors about that.
    No official confirmation though.
    I smell a douchebag troll.
    Trolls like to add to this confusion and shithole of a mess that is leaks.

    Not sure if this is plausible, but it’s very good, not to mention the ‘hair’ fins look similar to my Mega Milotic 2.0 design. 🙂

  22. I’m kinda sat at the fact that the legendaries battle music is the exact same from their original battle :/ Giratina’s theme is the same from platinum and the dogs theme is the same from Crystal :/ I WANTED THEM TO REMIX HO-OH AND LUGIA’S THEMES Dx

    Reply
  23. I hate how people keep saying the BF is pointless now since everyone just battles online…. what i loved about BF was that you were working towards something! Collecting all 7 symbols first in Silver then Gold and each facility required you to battle differently:
    Factory- Using random pokemon.
    Arena- Judged Battles
    Dome- The tournament style.
    Pike- Luck based progression with a bit of mystery and clues.
    Palace- Your pokemon literally do all the work.
    Tower- Full on competitive.
    Pyramid- Puzzling and ridiculously hard to beat.

    The BF was NOTHING like online battles and the game is worse for not having it at present (i still have hope that it will be added later).

    Reply
    • I kno a lot people love the BF, but I’ve never been a fan…….It’s always just seemed so tedious and annoying to me….I couldn’t care one way or the other if it ends up being in the game or not

      Reply
      • I respect you opinion but i hate how the choice is not there anymore. The great thing about post game is that it is optional but lately (looking at you XY) the post game has been very basic and where it is larger there is almost no replayability (delta episode).

        Reply
    • I never cared for it personally. I actually hated it, and it board me to death so I never used it, and found all of those battle frontier like things useless, and a waist of my time. SO I couldn’t care less if there in the game.

      Reply
  24. you know i really didnt like 3rd gen to begin with so when i heard they were remaking i was like no. But i did always want to do the battle frontier and was looking forward to new megas. But if this post game is similar to xy then its a shame and i guess i will never like hoenn, but thats just me.

    Reply
  25. Personally I would prefer if this site will not be left to shambles when the games comes by. So does anybody have some wicked idea to stop this site to be made redundant. Anyhow give me a bell.

    Reply
  26. If any of you get mad because GF haven’t added in any more megas, put it this way, they’ve introduced 18 new megas (20 if you count Lati@s) and 2 Primals.
    Just because some of the fan favourites didn’t get a mega doesn’t mean that they won’t in the future.
    And concerning the Battle Frontier, yes it’s not in the games, no need to get butthurt over it. They can implement it in the future I’m sure. Just cause something doesn’t go your way, it doesn’t mean that you whine and complain, it literally benefits no-one

    Reply
    • I’m satisfied with the number of mega evolutions we got so far and I’m very positive that we are going to get more because of the intereview of Shigeru Ohmori.

      Reply
    • People are allowed to have and express an opinion. I mean, it’s nice if they do it in a polite and coherent manner, sure, but this *is* a fandom comprised of many people under the age of 15, so it’s not exactly shocking if some of the reactions are less than mature.

    Like how they’re unlocked, if they are, how you get to them (they can’t all be in the sky right?) etc.
    And all the legendaries, save the Hoenn ones, are in Mirage Spots right?

    P.s. totally gonna hunt for a Shiny Treeko, Shiny Totodile, Shiny Cyndaquil, Shiny Piplup/Tutwig/Chimchar (idk which 2 im going to hunt for), Shiny Tepig, and Shiny Snivy/Oshawott (idk which one i’ll hunt, probably Snivy) and any legendaries that aren’t shiny locked :3

  37. Does anyone know what Mega Stones can only be obtainable in post-game?
    I wanted to use a Mega Lopunny, I know where it is (but not any of the other Mega Stones), and it wasn’t until recently that its mega stone location was revealed, which leads me to believe its in the post-game. But the location its in doesn’t make it seem like that.
    tl;dr I don’t know when you can get Lopunnite, or any of the other mega stones, but i know where some of them are :3

  38. Ok Guys I know you guys don’t want to hear this, but I must say

    • It just has to know the move Dragon Ascent. If you forget it he can’t mega evolve. However you can relearn it at any time after the Delta Episode by speaking to Zinnia’s grandmother in Meteor Falls.

      Reply
        • I think it is explained in the Delta Episode but i’m unsure… i think it may have something to do with Rayquaza being a space dwelling pokemon and i believe the mega stones originate from space?? But yeah it certainly is OP but i don’t actually know if Items work while it is in it’s mega form but i would guess so.

  46. I am quite happy to know that everyone is having the time of their lives planning their game strategies. I remember when my 6 year old me first opened the ruby box for my gameboy advanced. I was complete back then.. And everytime I see that game I instantly transport myself into the world that GameFreak had created. I hope all of you can make equal experiences. Now if you shall excuse me as I shall stroll into the night´s darkness. For I shall return… In 1 week. A simple sacrifice to keep my experience with the game as innocent as when I was 6.

          Rock Earthen (My standard Boss form)
          Crystal Earthen (Kinda a more silent wiser evil form with gem attacks)
          and finally Erupting Earthen when i go ballistic and i radiate searing magma

    • I want to learn everything about it
      we now know that that its power was sealed away
      now every troupe knows that’s a red flag for not good
      and the severed arms can move at will

  63. I love how people are still trying to defend Gamefreak for removing the Battle Frontier and not adding more megas. I wonder when Gamefreak will stop the yearly release bs and actually release a complete game.

  64. I’m still psyched about ORAS, regardless of the absence of Mega Milotic and Flygon. I’d still use those two and even Altaria. Already many of my favorites have received Megas, so I’m glad. But apparently TF knew what is my ULTIMATE FAVORITE Pokemon and exempt it from getting a mega.
    Besides, there is tons of new mechanics and features that will make this game one of the very best in Pokemon history. On top of that, there is a legit post-game story plot to keep you rolling even after becoming the champion. So, with that, I declare ORAS to be the best Pokemon games GameFreak *coughtrollfreakcough* will ever create. Cheers.

  65. It seems curiosity has surpassed my initial goal. So I want to make this one a quickie lads. Know mayhaps the version exclusives megas and/or pokemon for ORAS. Appreciate any type of comments. Anyhow lads and ladettes who comments will have a 1UP from me… because… thats like currency right?

  66. I have two tests tomorrow, but the hype just washed over me like the over abundant seas of Hoenn.

    I give the evening a 7.8/10, because it was raining like a hurricane. Too much water for me.

    So when you go to face your rival on Route 103, she’s standing there, not looking for pokes, but looking at the pool of water that’s in the intro omg yas

  69. I won’t beat the game as fast as you guys are doing. I will spend a lot of time on each route catching every single Pokémon available until I can move on.

  71. No game but going to find a stream if there is one, figure I’ll still be excited to play when I can get the games xD the temptation is just too strong ;~;

        • I live! XD
          Ah had them pre ordered before, but they were cancelled (long story) and can’t buy them now because no money right now 🙂 I’m going to try getting one tomorrow but will see how it works out ^-^

          Reply
          • Thank you 🙂 things will turn out fine! will make the games that much more special, and better late than never to me 🙂

          • Don’t have any doubt there, can imagine that the music and graphics ect are much more stunning with having the actual game and being able to experience it yourself ^-^

          • Either Disqus or my computer is being fruity
            Tough question,everyone will find their answer someday xD thank heavens Junichi Masuda is around though ;~;

          • I know, and when people call him lazy for not including something, I get mad at them, because he took all this time to make these games.
            Like, “You call me lazy!? Fine, I have enough money to last forever. I quit, no more Pokémon.”

          • I believe he does what he can to make the fans happy, and that it probably isn’t easy for him to include everything that everyone wants, I’m sure he wants to make everyone happy but sometimes its not so easy unfortunately. Even though people have the right to be upset about things that bother them and are entitled to their opinion, imo I don’t think its right to blame one person for all of that, he’s the creator and does what he feels is best as well as sharing Pokémon with us when he didn’t have to.Tbh I’m upset about no mega Flygon but Brandon cheered me up on that xD there will probably be a day where it’ll be its turn to shine and till then will patiently wait for it to happen if it doesn’t I’ll be upset but my love for the Pokémon won’t stop xD I’m glad Pokémon like Altaria and Metagross was able to get one those made a lot of people happy.
            Over wrote again ._.

    • You can trade and receive from Bank technically as soon as you get the dex (you get your pokemon, travel up to oldale, have quick battle with rival, back down to littleroot then get the dex). However if you want to trade you need at least 2 pokemon in your team 🙂

      Reply
  72. ;~; It takes so long to get all of the Dex and grinding fulfilled >.< xD
    I have to level my Ralts (nicknamed Psycrifice) up ~3 levels and my Shroomish (nicknamed Fun-guy) from level 5 to 15ish.

  76. Even if i hadn’t of pre-ordered AS, I don’t think I would’ve changed my 3DS to get it on the eShop. I prefer a physical copy of my games, I’m weird like that (I only prefer actual books to e-readers/Kindles etc)
    Tbh, I have enough to keep me distracted anyway so I’m all good, enjoy the game for those who got it early, haha

  77. Hope those of you that got ORAS are loving it !! Play it extra hard in memory of all us troops in Europe waiting a week for a physical copy 😀

  78. Merry Hurren Everyone
    I STILL CAN’T DECIDE MY MAIN STARTER 🙁
    Its boiled down to Torchic and or Mudkip
    Torchic Pros
    High speed
    Evolves into a fighting type and learns Double Kick (also Flame Charge now)
    It was my choice when I was a kid
    Cons
    I’ve learned that i prefer beefy physical attackers then lean speedy ones
    It’s super frail
    I don’t like birds

    Mudkip Pros
    Despite its size it has a lot of physical strength
    Evolves into a Ground Type the best type in the f*cking universe
    And learns rock throw and rock slide fairly early
    Mega Swampert is beef
    Mudkip Cons
    I’ve never once in my life picked a water starter for a main game and it would feel really weird
    It doesn’t learn a physical ground type til final form and have to use mud bomb
    All my life everyone I knew who played RS chose Mudkip and u all know I don’t follow crowds

    So its either a fire/fighting cock fighter or a water/ground mud fish thing

  83. Hello everyone. The games are out today and I am waiting for GameStop to open their doors at 10:00am (I didn’t have a Midnight Launch Party). I know I have very hostile and unpleasant to be around the last two days but I will be completely off of here for good now after this message for the next 5 to even 7 days. If Gym Leader Rematches are deconfirmed, so what? The Battle Frontier? Not a big deal. A disappointment, yes, but, not a big deal. No more Mega Evolutions? I have my favorites that got Mega Evolutions, such as Sharpedo.

    Anyways, Happy Gaming!

  84. Well it’s downloading! I really wish I could have gotten a hard copy, but the damn storm that wrecked havoc over my area this past week has ruined any chance of that happening today…..so download copy it is! It’s taking too long!!!!!!

  85. I’ve reached Rustboro! I can’t leave! The music is too cool! 😀
    BTW you get the PSS after you beat May, and Streetpass after you talk to the Devon President. So if you’re holding back on the game, just rush until that part so you can enable Streetpass and start praying to get Eon Ticket. 🙂

      • I got the game. Nothing else.
        I was also first in line, got there at 10:00, right after they opened the store.
        I mean, it’s not a surprise. because there are like less than 1,000 people living in that town, I’m basically the only one who plays Pokemon.
        But seriously, I was at least hoping for a poster. ;(

  86. ..Hello.
    I am MegaSnorMunchlax and I am new to this site as a registered member only.
    I have heard of this site, and to me, it is one of the best and friendliest Pokémon sites I have seen.
    Just letting you know, I am IRL friends with the mod/Gym Leader Dicie, like best friends.
    If I could, I would hunt down info to give to you guys, and that is not a lie.
    So.. Yeah. I’m new. I hope you guys can teach me about more of the site.
    Thanks -MegaSnorMunchlax (Call me MegaMunch)

    ***I haven’t gotten my versions yet (they are being shipped and will arrive by the time I get home tonight). I can’t decide between Zangoose and Mightyene (Ice and Dark are my favorite types and I already have a Flying/Normal on my team so I’m leaning towards Mightyena for lack of a better dark type, unless I trade from anothre version) for my Alpha Sapphire version, and I can’t decide between Exploud or Roserade for my Omeg Ruby version… What are your thoughts?

  96. @Glock 40:disqus – She did, but I can’t tell my ma or she’ll flip, and even then I wanted to preorder AS in secret, but I was inconvenienced in transportation, so I waited ’til the time was right and she dropped me off, but before I could even preorder AS, my baby sister came in GameStop, which means my ma comes in soon after, which meant they were done with whatever it was they were doing.

    So instead I preordered on my credit card and she said I can preorder both, so here I am.

    I’m sitting here with both on my bed, but I can’t even faqing play them. -_-

    If I paid for it, she has no what-say in me playing it or not.

  97. I still have chores to do before I play AS, but that’s my own decision.
    I’ll soon join you guys in Hoenn. I’ll just play OR on Christmas.

    Sceptile
    Exploud
    Roserade
    Gardevoir
    Altaria
    Camerupt
