Maxie’s animation is funnier but this one is ……………… AWESOME
Yeah. Maxie has a funny one. This one is just sexy.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I never listen to smogon rules anyway
Sounds about right
Saw that coming about 10000 miles away. Seriously I was Soaring and saw it.
Why do people hate Mauville’s re-design? I think it’s great, besides mauville is based on the real-life hoenn(Kyushu) capital(Kumamoto) so it makes sense to make it the biggest city in hoenn plus it has a food court
VERY hard to navigate. Worse than Lumiose.
I never got lost in mauville, but in lumiose I never knew where I was XD but yeah it is a little tricky to navigate
Not really it’s just a square
Lumiose was very easy to navigate for me. I have no idea where anything is here.
You’ll learn in about six months of nonstop playing.
I’m so intimidated by your new avatar. It’s not even funny.
Good. Your defense has been lowered. Now I can go in for the attack.
I like it. They have maps for that reason.
Even tho I haven’t played the game yet; I’m sure its easier to navigate than Lumiose. It’s a square with a top and bottom floor. Rather than Lumiose City’s multiple avenues and such. Also, it might just be hard to navigate because it’s you first time playing it. It will be a bit confusing.
Top floor, bottom floor, random floor that exists between dimensions…..
I learned how to navigate Lumiose from the cab driver’s telling me where things were then using the circle around the tower. New Mauville’s maps are just, “hope you like arrows, bitch.”
I fricken love it! The old mauville sucked so much.
What do you guys think about Mega Sableye’s uses compared to Sableye’s? Better? Worse? Which battle format do you think it’d thrive in and which format would it be terrible in?
Prankster>Magic Bounce but it all depends on how you use it, Mega sableye can be a big threat if you set it up well
I hate both immensely
Prankster Wisp and Recovery (I have enough trouble breaking it even with a special sweeper)
And now its even more Bulkier but loses Priority but can’t whittle it with Toxic
Just such a unceasing pain that has tormented me too many times
Physical attacker, special attacker, or special or physical walls? I love it. It’s versatile.
Prankster wins. I got my duel screens espeon for magic bounce
Mega Sableye is one of those Pokemon you have to plan just right when to Mega Evolve it You can’t just up and Mega it but if used correctly both are evenly as good
I hope in a later generation, Regigigas gets retyped. Normal just doesn’t seem to fit it very well in my opinion. What do you guys think?
Normal fits it very well imo.
Idk. I mean it’s the King of the Regi’s, so you’d think they would have given it a type that made it seem strong. Normal just doesn’t seem like a strong type to me.
Arceus is normal typed..
If they gave it something else it would make it more like a part of the ‘group’ rather than the ‘king’
Arceus also had an ability that let it change its type, therefore making it truly seem god like. Regigigas’ ability makes it seem… mediocre.
Yeah, regigigas’s ability is sh*t.
Should’ve been fighting. That way it’s strong to all of them..
PE’HSENIN
OMG GUYS IM NOT EVEN JOKING!!!!
I WAS WATCHING https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uka4ZK8cuUM
AND WHILE WATCHING HIM GET AN ACCIDENTAL SHINY I ACCIDENTALLY WENT INTO THE GRASS AND I FOUND I GOT A SHINY WINGULL!!
Nice!
This is my 4th shiny wingull btw XD
The only shiny i have is a basculine..
Congratulations!! Also this guy obviously doesn’t kno how to maximize his breeding environment….I mean come on! If ur not gonna do it in Lumiose city then at least bike all the way down the route b4 turning around lol
So i heard thaat your Trainer ID affects your odds of finding shinys. Could someone please tell me how mine is? 02185
1. That is a myth it really doesn’t
2. Your ID would be unlucky 😛
It’s actually a secret id which you can’t view ingame
Exactly
I’m finally done. Feedback?
RF
Done with what?
Refresh
That is actually pretty cool
Awesome..
Ground E4 named Darude…………
Although the Gym leaders ,E4, evil team boss, rival and champion use very similar pokemon.
lel
Hmmmm Darude doesn’t spell Earthen… nor Ian
I should’ve named him Ian my bad XD
Galladite, Altarianite, and Lopunnite will possibly be banned in RU
Gallade won’t
Altaria wont
Lopunny might
I doubt Altaria will
Mega Galade Is very good I think UU at the lowest
Ehh I think Mega Lopunny could be down there
Edited
Gallade is easy OU material.
Altaria has in my opinion the best typing in the game, an incredibly strong ability and a move pool to back it up. Not to mention really bulky
Lopunny has unresisted Stab Combo.
Easily OU for Mega Gallade and Altaria. UU for Lopunny
I agree Dragon Fairy typing is the best typing in the game
There looking to make them illegal to use in RU so UU would be the next legal thing they’d be in. Stat-wise I think it’d be fair to ban the mega stones from RU.
lopunny, banette, aboma, sharpedo, steelix, audino, altaria and gallade
These are all the RU megas
So you weren’t kidding they are adding them to RU
Basically they all the Pokemons megas to be used in whatever tier the base Pokemon was already in at the X and Y. That’s why Mega Camerupt is PU at the moment
Oh really?
Huh I guess you are right they haven’t changed it yet
Yeh they will probably run tests and look at usage soon to change the tiers accordingly. But for now all the tiers are pretty messed up.
Thanks for clearing that up
Do you have your first comp team ready?
In game on ORAS?
I haven’t even got the game yet. Should have arrived today. I’m almost home so we’ll see 🙂
I’ve just been playing a bit on Showdown.
Oh ok Lol nvm
I hope it is there to enjoy your game 😀
HHave you used Mega Audino yet?
Nope. And I haven’t seen it be used either.
Audino, Steelix and Glalie I haven’t seen so far.
Mega Luxray
Electric Dark
Super Static (All electric type attacks and Physical attacks the user uses have an added 20% chance to paralyze the opponent)
HP: 80
Atk: 150 (+30)
Def:: 99 (+20)
SpA: 95
SpD: 99 (+20)
Spe: 100 (+30)
I hope that shiny Wingull is a sign that my shiny luck is good in ORAS since I don’t have the shiny charm yet
Where do you get Pidgeotiite?
From the girl in Verdanturf
find her shroomish for her
First talk to the main sign in Verdanturf Town then a girl will give you a stone then give that stone to Mr. Stone
Go to Verdanturf, talk to a girl in the town who says she lost her Shroomish, talk to the town info sign and Shroomish will appear, the girl will give you the Intriguing Stone, go talk to Mr. Stone, he realizes that it was actually the Pidgeotite and gives you it back.
in 00818 a good ID for getting shinies?
1. That is a myth it really doesn’t
2. Your ID would be semi-lucky 😛
stop being mean
24834 is my Trainer ID
So close to a pyramid
what now?
Going by the myth the pyramid ID (EX: 16461 or 24824) would increase the shiny odds more than triple digit
Cascoon my ID is 11120
If the myth WERE true your shiny odds would be increased
My ID number is 22460. I don’t know what significance it has to you guys, but now you know it.
I wish you could fly to your secret base
You can fly to the location it’s at.
For example, I can fly to the route mine is located on.
I can’t fly to mine
Mega Pidgeot, also known as Neckless Bird
Accidentally found a lv 13 modest Ralts with syncronism and charming voice and 1 perfect iv with dexnav at the beggining. Modest Kyogre/Latias/Lugia you’ll be mine!
It’s time
…
For?
Refresh
I WANTTTT
Why can’t NA have nice things?
Looks like it’s standing on a bed of burned Mac n cheese.
Those are your burnt remains
Nah.
Lol So true
Those blissey secret bases help alot before the E4
Initial thoughts. The 3D is so much better than it was in XY….However the frame rate still drops sometime
What starter did you pick?
Mudkip
Mudkip 😀 The best choice
The 3D is better. I’m so glad they made Archie a 3D model.
well like i’ve said before
This world hates me
I spend 2 hours waiting for a rare boss to spawn, and then my internet goes out…. most likely missing the Boss (that only appears randomly every 20-81 hours)
Holy. Crap. This guy gave me a float stone. I went upstairs and then down stair and he had gained weight. XD
I know I thought there was something wrong with my game XD
I had to stop and think about it for a second. XD
I’m so happy 😀
I got my Swampertite and am ready to use my first mega of ORAS.
Also I have my Raind Dance ready on Altaria and Protect on Swampert so I can speed up and wreck Winona’a butt
Just use Rain Dance on Swampert
I was considering that, but I don’t want to waste another spot
Archie almost wrecked mine.
I will have no problem with him
I had no problem with him wrecking my butt either. 😉
