10/10

Exactly.
There hasn’t been good postgames since Johto/HGSS.

Hey everyone! Loving ORAS so far!
OMG guys I found a awesome way to defeat Sydney with just a level 45 Gallade LOL LOL
Well first you equip him with a persim berry (it neutralizes confusion) then you send him out against mightyena. You do SWORDS DANCE then he does SWAGGER and raises your attack without confusion. You use X-SCISSOR. He dead-er than dead.
Eventually he will get out his Shiftry with FAKE OUT… Your Gallade has steadfast, flinches raises your speed. You faster than Usain Bolt. You stronger than that Russian boxer from Rocky 4. All his pokemon making their own grave.
Flawless Victory
Now I go against Phoebe. Wish me luck
P.S. MenacingCascoon you owe me an apology
I knew you could beat Sydney
But you may not beat Phoebe and Glacia
And Phoebe is next. With the same Gallade.
First equip Persim berry. Again
She clueless gets out her Dusclops. i use SWORDS DANCE He uses CURSE. I use SWORDS DANCE, he uses CONFUSE RAY. I use thief. Complete KnockOut
She gets her banette out 1Hit kill. Gets out his sableeye uses fake out but i heal because of the curse. Kill sableye with 1 hit. Then its just a massacre.
Phoebe cries. I laugh at her face
Glacia is next. Wish me luck
Gooooood luck

I’m so happy I chose Alpha Sapphire
So am I. He’s bae.
He’s a Scamp
I’m his scamp
Maybe I’m behind on this one, but has anyone noticed that you can fly to specific routes finally?
yes
Glacia is Done. Harder than she looks.
Get your Mega Aggron up and running hes level 46 thanks to the Exp. Share that I turned on just for the E4.
2 hit kill the Glalie with rock slide. She gets mad and gets out her Walrein. I go for iron tail (crit) hes still alive. she goes for sheer cold. misses. I miss my Iron tail she goes for surf. HP down to 13. Aggron like a boss hits Iron tail. She screwed.
I heal she goes forFrosslass with two shadow balls. Both of them are crits (She mad). Poor Aggron Dies.
Enter Gallade. Swords dance UP she does hail. Instant 1 hit kill with thief. I kill both of her Frosslass. And finish his Glalie with a Psycho Cut.
Gallade level 47. who´s next?
Find out for yourself and prepare yourself
Ughh its Drake and I dont have a dragon or ice move. Only Flygon but hes level 44
Show him how strong you are!!
Ohhh NOOO what happened to his Shelgon?!!
His Altaria knows aerial ace and 1 hit KOd my Gallade
Did you lose?
So i watched the climax of both games on youtube.
I have to say i love the contrasts between light and darkness in both games.
The entire sequence from the final Team Leader fight to where you catch Kyogre/Groudon is the best thing I have ever seen in a Pokemon game.
Can’t wait to see the 3D bits for myself.
Ok Drake is defeated. Crittical Hit Wars Happening
Altaria 1 hit kills with a crit my MVP Gallade. I cry inside.
Get out my Mega Aggron misses 2 rock slide. I get nervous. Gets a rock slide 1 hit kill crit on her Altaria. She dead.
I get out my level 46 Swampert against his flygon. Misses twice his confuse ray. I leave him red with 2 waterfalls. He uses full restore. He confuses swampert. He dont care. Switch out to Tropius (swampert is too important) He 1 HIT KILLS my tropius with a crit rock slide. Get out my swampert he misses his confuse ray and I 2 hit kill him. Flygon vs Flygon. Mine sucks. Mine dies. Swampert finishes the job.
Battle of titans. Mega Aggron vs Salamance. 2 hits, 1 crit him with rock slide. Hes not coming back. Then comes the SPAWN from hell. Kingdra.
He takes out my Aggron and Swampert. While my manectric deals some damage with volt switch. Manectric finishes the job.
Hardest E4 member ever.
Now its the champion. Elite four officially dealt with only a team of 45s, 46, and 47.
Currently SR’ing Latios
Idk I feel like it
But the cutscenes are a pain
Contests are majorly addicting
Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire 10/10
I just defeated Steven.
First make him waste a full restore on his Skarmory by doing Discharge with Manectric. EASY. Then when he goes to his Claydoll get out your Mega Swampert and take him out with 2 waterfalls. EASY. Then the Armaldo with 4 waterfalls (because of the full restore). EASY. Then things go for the Worse like A LOT.
He gets out his Cradily Aka Devil´s Weed.
Number 1: His confuse ray always hits.
Number 2: Your pokemon go mental when confused. Non stop hitting themselves
Number 3: His Giga Drain will at least make 2 criticals making you wonder why God even exists.
Pokemon LOST: Gallade. Flygon and Aggron
Tropius finishes him with a Grass Knot.
Then comes the Mega Metagross. Manectric is faster with his Discharge. He doesnt give a damn. 1 hit kills/ no crits my manectric with zen headbutt. I send out my Tropius while I heal my mega swampert. Metagross goes berserk and uses Giga Impact. Tropius is buried in a mountain next to the sea.
I get out my Mega Swampert. level 47 vs his 59 level Mega Metagross.
-Pokemon Anime theme song starts-
I hit with an earthquake… not even half. He is faster.
He uses Giga Impact. MISSES!!!!. And i finish him with a Critical hit earthquake.
The Hype is real. Buy the game. Hoenn is still my favorite region.
PEACE
Feature this instead of that stupid Archie comment.
Also Confuse Ray has 100% accuracy.
I know right?
That Archie comment was weird
Once I get the game, I’m doing the E4 and limiting myself to 2 full restores. And they can only be used in battle 😛
I keep on hearing it’s hard, it’s easy, it’s hard, it’s easy… I hope it isn’t as hard as I hear from some people.
Read my short story about the E4. and thou shall see
Disqus seems to be down everywhere but here. Weird.
Seriously, what the f*ck is going on?
The End credit song. OMG
I finished the Delta episode (which is amazing by the way) and I have to say these games were infinitely better than I had imagined. I was worried it would end up being like FRLG and HGSS, since I wasn’t very fond if either, but these games just hit the right note on everything for me. The story was better than the originals because it had more depth and fleshed out the important characters.the fact that is stressed that the antagonistic team were not “evil” was very present throughout the game and the addition to backstory for not only the named members but even some of the unnamed grunts really makes the player relate to the characters emotionally.
Even though I don’t like Sinnoh Anime
The Jap openings were pretty good
I especially Like this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnZ_KDBVbvA
Ew, this one.
I miss the old japanese singer from AG and Johto
Her voice is squeaky But I kinda like it
I wouldn’t be ok if she asked me if I was ok
Guess who defeated the champion?
i think they focusing in pkmn character in this gen whiele they didn’t do this in 3rd and 5th gen .
Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
~ The game is a wonderful nostalgia trip for those that played the originals. For me, the most interesting part of the game as an entity was the story; moving, theatrical-like, and most of all, one of the most creative stories in the entire Pokemon franchise. Another great thing about the games is the music with major trumpets, guitar riffs that send chills down your spine, and who can forget Wally’s theme?! Last but not least, the game’s graphics and coloring has improved immensely, giving the Hoenn region a vibrant and lively look and feeling, as opposed to the dull shades of Kalos. All in all, the game is an 8.5/10 for me; it was a vast improvement from X and Y and the musical direction in this game was stunning! Keep it up Game Freak!
Pokemon ORAS: 8.5
That’s my medium analysis of the new games and I do hope Game Freak truly experiments with this Hoenn sound because Djja was correct; the music is exceptional!
The Wally fight in Victory Road was intense, the music, the background, it was just perfect.
Basti’s new avi scares me. Real talk.
I’m honestly just tired of this Archie stuff altogether… he has a great personalty and story in-game, he’s just so over-sexualized.
-_-
Team Aqua is overly sexualized in general.
Maxie and his fab shorts is where it’s at.
It’s true. I hate when that happens to great characters.
Plus the Archie comments are always featured. Every. Freaking. Time.
Except female swimmers, that’s fine
Real girls in real life wear bikinis too.
I know xD
Ah, too bad it’s far better than magma :/
They are the reason I chose OR. All the AS version exclusives are better, but I love Team Magma so much, and Aqua just kinda weirds me out.
They aren’t bad in game. The fan art/the over-sexualization
is bad
True. But I really hate Archie PLEASEDON’T KILLME *hides*
I don’t hate him. I hate the fan art.
Even in-game, his overly tough pirate persona just kinda irks me.
He’s a total bro, after you beat him he kind of looks proud of you.
It’s true. I like Archie a lot.
Okay, that I can respect. And kinda love
http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1417036574820.gif
him doing the thing
Courtney is probably my favorite character from this game. Zinnia was really well written also and Archie was really lovable. I didn’t like Steven as much this time around because he felt like more of a spoiled rich kid to me and I’m on the fence about Maxie.
You guys are already done with the game and I’m just here like “Just beat Norman woooooooh!”
I restarted.
