He is a model…
I obtained the Balance Badge 😀
Omg
Norman seriously?
I beat him and he is very angry XD
He might get out the belt D:
Deoxys y u no be caught? >:(
HOLY CRAP THE WEATHER INSTITUTE. HOENN. <3
This is the third time I’ve gotten three shakes in a row! Come on Deoxys, why won’t you love me?
Is Deoxys shiny locked?
I hope not!
It might be. But honestly, it would take too long to SR for it. Due to all the cutscenes.
its bs to hunt for it tbh
I’m pretty sure you can’t save in between seeing rayquaza and getting it and capturing deoxys, so you either hunt for Rayquaza or Deoxys, with Deoxys taking forever to sr for…
Question: What Pokemon does the Weather Institute guy give you? I’m guessing it’s Castform.
Castform
He gives you Mega Flygon. :^)
;’]
Aarune……he’s…..25……….? WHAT?!?!?! How is this even possible……..?
I”M RIDING GROUDON!!!!!!!!!
Spoiler Alert!
Oh My
Hello Riding Groudon.

First Tabitha’s Camerupt lives a Surf with 1 HP, and now May’s Combusken!!! D:<
At least she's one level away from evolution. :')
D*MMIT I KILLED DEOXYS
Sorry for the language, just I have to go through the long cutscenes again… AND APPARENTLY CATCH RAYQUAZA ARE YOU KIDDING???
Why is there no option to save in this period of time??? UGH. D:
I HAVE A WHISCASH!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D
Alright Primal Groudon means serious business
He already KO’D Swampert with 2 Precipice Blades
I’m going to see if i can catch it with a Pokeball
Where do you get Starter-ite?
you’ll get it, don’t worry
But where?
not gonna ruin the magics
In Hoenn
I forgot to go to Verdanturf Town… xD
The Wally battle theme is incredible. I have chills all over.
He has a Battle Theme?
Yes, in the battle right before the League. It sounds like a song from Mega Man X.
Alright Deoxys… Let’s try this again
How long is the Delta Episode?
A good hour and a half to 2 hours worth of extra gameplay.
That’s good to hear.
YES, I’ll have enough time to finish it with my friend tonight.
Can you save in between getting Rayquaza and Deoxys??
No… and I accidentally killed Deoxys the first time with a crit. So i had to capture Rayquaza again…
*cries*
I can’t sr for Deoxys :C
Unfortunately no… Which sucks because i was planning to do that in OR
Signal beam surskit!

Good, that sh!t was dumb as hell
I just found a feebas on my first fishing encounter o.o
I can’t even find a 5% wailer ;~;
wailmer*
Wassup guys! Hows ORAS doing?
Awesome! Except for the part where you can’t save in between catching Rayquaza and Deoxys…
you can catch both? Thats awsome!
Great!
I knda hate the DexNav thing though,because now I feel like I have to catch any pokemon with a rare ability or move.
Whats the DexNav do? You’ll have to excuse me i’m too cheep to buy the game 🙁
It lets you find Egg Move/Hidden Ability Pokemon in the wild.
Oh thats pretty rad! Helps save some time I assume?
Yup. Also the Pokemon can be up to 3IV.
You said that as soon as i started IV breeding in my X game….I closed my system
xD
It’s super useful. I caught myself a Thrash 2IV Barboach and a 3IV Roost Swablu.
Wow! Well I guess now I have to get off my sorry butt and go the game xD
By the way, it’s a little confusing, at least the IV part is. In the top right corner of the DexNav, there will be a thing that says “Potential” if the wild Pokemon has an IV. 1 star is 1IV, 2 stars is 2IV, and 3 stars is 3IV. It goes up to 3IV.
Sounds like every fans dreams has come true in the last few days!
ALSO THE EGG MOVES ARE AMAZING!
I knew I should have pre-ordered -_-
