FEATURED DISCUSSION: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Game Journal










Why do people stand in line at gamestop? Lol I’m about to go pick it up at target right after school XD
my target didn’t have Smash 3DS day one that’s why
Hm…really…well this is my first time getting a game on the day of release so maybe I will go to gamestop then…
One plus of not getting the game for another week, might get something good via Wonder Trade (i.e. breeding rejects)
Oh my god, you guys. I might pick the games up tomorrow! Hypehype.. But that’s just a “might” ;~;
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. 🙂
Same here!
so apparently i KO’d a Surskit that knew Fell Stinger
FINALLY GOT THE THINGN AFIJSK JKAOLGKHOKJFLDOWRMEGARUBYFIADJLKSJBSFLJA IMS SOUUNHHHHUHHYYPE
I’MM FREAKING AO7UT
Go find a Barboach
Since the closest GameStop is located in the middle of nowhere, they didn’t do a midnight release. I had to wait till 10:00. ;(
i was first in line and i got a Charizard Y plushie…. i wanted X….
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. ;(
For anybody that has my FC added, my IGN for Omega Ruby is Whi.
i’m helping the Green Haired Twig catch if first Pokemon
So I leave my Pokemiles in X/Y… what a pain…
And it’s also a pain to get miles now in ORAS with Streepass not granting miles anymore…
YES HIKER ICON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the Hiker by default, but I switched to Ninja….
I the old veteran
But i think i’m going to be happy with my Mudkip
I believe that anyone can bond with any Pokemon
I also picked Mudkip kekeke. For nostalgia reasons.
I like the part where the protagonist was playing a Gameboy Advance… seeing pixelated Birch was funny.
for a second i thought they duped us
Haha.
“WHY IS THE GRAPHICS SO BAD! I MIGHT AS WELL PLAY ON AN EMULATOR…”
*game zooms out*
Oh.
You kidding i love old graphics
N64 looks just as good as ever
Hello Going To Be Happy With My Mudkip.
Unfortunately there is no fairy lady this game. But if there is Glacia…
is that a problem?
Honestly Fairies are so last year
So nobody should be using them…. at all
Altaria.
Only when its a Mega
But 80% of the time its still a Dragon/Flying and with i will ground with Rock moves
But I just got the game. I haven’t unlocked PSS yet.
Fairy Tale Girls are still in the game.
If you didn’t get the icon your choices of trainer icons are random, sadly…
What do you mean? Can’t I change it once I unlock PSS?
You can change it, but your choice of icons is about 10, and you aren’t guaranteed the one you want. 🙂
Just like X&Y.
I don’t have the Hex Maniac, for example.
Yeah. That’s what I thought.
Also, by Fairy lady I meant Laverre City’s gym leader.
Oh, Valerie? Well probably not her.
Maybe more will be unlock in the postgame, who knows…
Great…my hinges for my 3ds broke….
;(
lol ya
Just got myself a second party member, a shiny Beldum! 😀
Whatever its your game

Go Oh naturalll
..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)
Wonderful to see you finally join the site.
🙂
Thank you! =)
Oh, by the way, after I beat ORAS I will have a review on PNN.
Woah.
Call me Ook. I’m the guy who will never make sense. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too, Ook!
Welcome. I’m Chico. 🙂
Thanks!
I like you better than Dicie already, lmao.
Wow.. Did not expect that already. But, like us the same. We are like the same.. Really.
If only my friends liked Pokemon and could come here… ;(
“Friends” ;~;
boi what you getting at
Really, Chico?
After all we went through?
Also, if any of you guys ask me for something to do on the computer, I enforce grammar. My mom worked as a secretary in the Puerto Rican governmental building La Fortaza, and I am following in her footsteps. One job I do want is indeed a secretary. That’s just an extra but of me
-MegaMunch
I can’t wait until you meet Gonvah… xD
*Govnah
I CAN’T GET USED TO SAYING IT LIKE THAT LOL
Wow.. It sounds like someone saying “Governor” weirdly.. I can’t wait to meet him!
It is supposed to be “Governor”. The thing is, I never realized that until one time I was looking at his profile and realized I had mixed up the “n” and “v”. 😛
You forgot to add a “.” Mr. Grammar, lol
..That did slip by me..
I’m the one here at PJN that will call you out if you’re slippin’. Best be careful. 😉
I will! Don’t worry.
Hi!
Hello!
Greetings Snorlax laddie.

THE LASS ENCOUNTER THEME! <3
FINALLY finished work and now time to start the game!!! How is everyone getting on with their teams and stuff?
I haven’t caught anything yet
I wanted my first catch to be a Aron or Makuhita
Me either… just starting but i think im gonna plan my team fully first then start- didnt think id be getting the game until next friday so i wasn’t ready for it lol!
My Pokemon are Slips the Treecko and Alphonse the Beldum.
I finally got a Rash Treecko ^_^
lucky…
I first got a Modest Torchic
then i ultimately chose Mudkip but it had bold, then Mild, then Rash too but i settled for Lax….
But turns out that Lax like Sour so that mean perfect for Tough Contests
Not lucky, I’ve been Soft Resetting since I got the game last night xD And nice! That’s something at least 😀 Can’t wait to do contests tbh
Oh did you know that Sceptile learns Dual Chop from the moment it evolves
Also Machop’s line gets it too
and Aron’s like finally leans Rock Moves?
Meh, Dual Chop sucks xD I am glad tho that Treecko gets Giga Drain at Lv 21!!! No more 40 something bullshit xD
Well have fun hitting the B button for the next couple of levels
Totally fine with me xD I don’t like evolving it at Lv
16 anyway* I like spending just a bit more time with the base stage
yeah but i can’t wait to get my Marshtomp
I usually like spending time with the middle stage
I am on my way to picking up ORAS!! :’D
YEAH SLAVINATOR! YOU CRIT THAT OTHER ZIGZAGOON TO DEATH. We almost lost ;~;
Slavinator…. Do you fancy Chuggaconroy?
Yus :3
You have earned my respect Sire.
Arrrrghhhhh why must they make this game so much fun. I love sneak encounters so much. I’ve got 9 pokemon with egg moves or hidden abilities just in the route above littleroot. All of the elemental fang poocheyana and one with play rough and rattled omg <333
Spoiler Alert.
Hidden Ability Skrelp is available apparently.
But I knew this already lol
OK. Now you can tell me which other ones are
That’s the only other unreleased one thats in now.
Aww…I was expecting Tyrantrum and Aurorus too.
I was telling TC that I think we may get prequels where fossils can be encountered in the wild, sneak encounter HA tyrunt & amaura
Thats so retarded, why cant they just release them all, what are they waiting on
now to earn my first badge!
And it will go exactly like the Trailer
Caught a Wurmple, named it Intimidating
Reminds me of that Xatu i named Kevin
Congratulations my Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp!!!
I have made the decision to just go with it and not plan my team… i started but there are too many i want to use so i may rotate… this is one time where EXP Share’s brokenness will work for me.
I have also made the decision to do something i haven’t done in a looooong time and that is actually try to catch em all… GASPPP!
