Pokémon Pinball fans rejoice! The sequel to the original, which added Pokémon from Hoenn, is coming to the eShop in both Europe and Japan this week. On Wednesday it will get its Japanese launch for ¥702 and the European release will come a day later and retail for €6.99 or £6.79 depending on the region.
Did you play this game on the Gameboy Advance? Unfortunately, this is a spin-off I missed due to lack of money. I may pick this up 🙂

(refresh)
Those pics are seriously blurry broham
I know XD
My computer camera is a toaster

Potato Cam™
looks like Tabitha in a white coat *Shudder*
You wanna be awesome and trade me some pokemon? I’m trying to complete the dex on X version for breeding and AS for legendaries
I need Streetpass to get Cressila D:
No Cressila Today
Hopefully I find it soon
If you’re still here, would you wanna touch trade Cresselia for Yveltal? That way, we both get something we need! =)
Yea Sure
After this battle

I like this
Who has the best encounter theme? Steven of course.
Cynthia*
PLAY THAT PIANO BABY! PLAY IT LIKE ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!!!!
http://ionenewsone.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/kattwilliams.jpg
Just listen to this elegance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXh4S9jy_x8
Sounds so emo.
you don’t understand
OMG mom u dont understand
It is intimidating when you think about it, but not better than Steven. I still wanna see this remade.
This sounds like the music my younger brother plays at his piano recital to get his fingers warmed up
Baby food
“Mommy thank you 4 the xylophone Im gona make a champion theme”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iHSeKnu568
Literally perfect
All I hear is FJUH MGWE8GH8WW8MHW8RHM8EHW8EFHT
in song form for the first 20 seconds
It sounds like undercover spy music.
It demonstrates the badass elegance that is Steven stone
That flute tho
Finally got mega evolution!
1. My friend gave me the lopunnite so I can use mega lopunny before the post game 😀
2. I hate flannery’s gym
3. I wish there were better secret base locations in route 113 as it is now my favorite route in hoenn
4. Mt. Chimney is awesome (I also wish there were bases up there
5. Should I stop by Fortree city? Or go strait to Mt. Pyre?
I hope your friends realizes that was the only loppunnite in the game
Don’t you HAVE to go to for tree for the gym?
Just remember ORAS gave us this, and all Sinnoh gave us was an E4 with the same themes as the Gym Leaders XD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmMuVo20Hb8
I was so upset when that happened, at least Unova fixed it and brought back unique gym leader and E4 music
I didn’t notice a difference in the music for Unova bosses.
TEH PEOPLE ARE HERE
Ook what happened to Deoxys? ;-;
He died and was swallowed by Christmas.
Simmer down
*pot stops to boil*
“Huh? I couldn’t hear you, the pot was boiling.”
we’re all an optical illusion
And just like that, everyone left again. GG
What was that wwebsite that was the first to hack the xy gts? It was like one of those pokedit sites. Anyone remember? It wa sbefore the powersave.
Hey there Not a jungler tottal
I wonder who he is not a jungler of.
Of tottal, of cours! xD
Bow down to the greatness that is Sinnoh hoenn peasants.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMohTchbivw
Sinnoh Remakes would be like this, Sinnoh peasant
Distortion world is cut because only a small portion of the fanbase would have cared about it
Gym leaders cannot be rematched, kids wouldn’t be able to stay focused long enough
Elite Four each have four Pokemon, just like in X and Y
Cynthia was too hard, you automatically become the champion
Team Galactic was too mature for kids, their new goal is to kick Shinx
Team Galactic consists of three grunts you fight once
Masuda laughs at you for wanting Battle Frontier again
“Haha! Then everybody would get frustrated!”
Episode Platinum: Giratina flies around a bit
Flappy Bird minigame for the kids so that they don’t feel like they’re not playing on a smartphone
EXP share now sends EXP to all the Pokemon in your PC box as well, is mandatory to keep on
Looker is retconned to having a few lines about being an interpol agent, his storyline was too complex for the kids
If you lose a battle, you still gain money
If you lose a gym battle, you still get a gym badge for “trying your best”
You have too much free time to type that.
Nope 4chan XD
You have too much free time to waste time there.
*Summons Arcues* Kill him this peasant mortal please.
-7.8/10, not enough distortion
Your name is literally Gentleman of Hoenn
BBBBBBBURNDEDDD
I’ve been meaning to change that now that the hoenn hype has gone down.
Gentleman of Unova
I still have the picture!
Yesv please coul i have thst now please?
(refresh)
I think it’s time Unova had it’s turn…
Sunyshore and Canalave Piano themes. <3
Archie or Byron?
Archie. But Byron is very close. I would lick his sweat.
Unova>Sinnoh
Actually-All gens>Sinnoh
Unova just Unova OMG
Unova is the best region.
Woah don’t get crazy now
Tied with Hoenn.
For me, it’s:
Unova/Hoenn
Kalos
Johto
Kanto
Sinnoh
I must admit, I went on my Black 2 to transfer pokemon i needed in ORAS from it, and I was in Driftveil City. I then realized that Driftveil City has a pretty cool tileset (the tileset in B2/W2 is pretty good), and that a lot of Kalos route/cities don’t have that…
B2/W2 redeemed it and made it one of my favorite regions. I hate when people bash Hoenn and Unova. Complaints were that you can’t travel to back other regions and there was a trash and ice cream pokemon. Like, bithc whet? -_-
Sorry. B/W>B/W2
Both were great.
People RARELY bash hoenn. Like ever. Every gone to 4chan being a Sinnoh fan? Not pretty.
So many threads about Sinnoh it’s not even funny. All praising it.
I’ve never once seen such a thing.
That’s not a very gentlemanly thing to do.
I must express myself once in a while.
Ehh Sinnoh tried.
Greatness?
Sinnoh?
AHA
Your oxymoron skills are very excellent
You had three oxymorons in three words
GreatnessSinnoh
SinnohHoenn
The oxymorons are real
HoennPeasents
Finally beat Steven.
The credits music made me tear up a little.
Alpha Sapphire was definitely a great game.
Despite some flaws, I still want to give it a 10/10.
Now, onto the Delta Episode! >:D
What flaws, peasant?! Impossible!
Not enough time with Archie
…
~ Battle Frontier
~ Gym Leader Rematches
~ Battle Lag even without 3D on
~ Game Corner
~ Character Customization
~ Not enough of Archie’s body ;~;
inb4 too much water comment
There literally is a perfect amount of water. Hell, it even feels like they REMOVED some water.
Water encounter rates were lowered. I honestly don’t see the problem.
Lag, Graphics don’t show what the 3ds can actually do. random nitpicky things.
I’ve only played up to Fortree on my first play through.
I say it had MANY flaws. As much as I love Hoenn, it didn’t do the reason complete justice. I give it a 7/10 SO FAR.
Wait until that champion and primal encounter theme.
I’ve heard it. I never judge games by their music. I actually have the sound off the whole game and then listen to the soundtrack after.
And yes, I have seen the Cave of Origin, etc.
Wait until you get further.
It’ll get better.
Trust me.
And after Victory Road, Wally’s theme is BADASS.
I love how they did the E4 too
annnd you never hear it again.(minus one battle at the BR)
Change your name now silly
just did
Actually 2 battles in the BR and you ca also change the BR’s music to Wally’s battle theme
Heard it. It is amazing.
You’d expect him to go Super Saiyan. xD
The music gets a 10/10.
It gets perfect.
You’re just playing the wrong version kek
I’ve seen the many play throughs of AS.
AS is best
@TBDizMcFly017:disqus
Im so sorry I forgot About our trading XD
I couldn’t trade after the battle my mom demanded I work on my hw
Maybe later
That’s fine lol. Just let me know when you’re available, cause I’m not in any hurry.
TB, always lurking.
What stat boosts does Mega Camerupt get?
…I think it doesn’t get a Speed increase.
._.
That sucks.
Didn’t it have like a base 30 speed? It’s supposed to be a bulky tank
Whoa Dicie your a gym leader? When did that happen? P.S. I havent been here in forever.
So is Xatu and Basti. lots changed lol
That happened around a month or so ago.
TCMets is also a Gym Leader now, except I don’t think he got the tag yet.
We’re both full-time Gym Leaders now.
Also, Xatu and Basti got Gym Leader tags, but they’re only comment mods, meaning they don’t post articles like TC and I do. 🙂
Everything but speed which is lowered.
That sucks.
Since Gen 6’s third romp will probably be announced in three months, what do you hope to be in the next game(s)?
Hopefully a better postgame if its a continuation of XY’s storyline
X and Y squared. Delta Emerald. DP remakes.
Be sure to pick up the Marth, Villager, and Wii Fit Trainer Amiibos before the year ends!
Nintendo is discontinuing them next year!
Damn Scalpers already bought ’em all up. You could always import them from Japan, though.
I’m collecting them all, yet I still need to pick one up.
I care sooooo much! <-sarcasm
Smash is so last decade.
Says the guy who always goes on about Unova. lol
I’m only joking around.
Awww c’mon, I wanted to start an internet fight.
lies.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/12/nintendos_new_response_some_amiibo_likely_to_be_discontinued
(somewhat)
No battle Frontier? So. Only a miniscule number people have played that so it’s unimportant. Lag? Of course it’s going to lag. It’s one of the largest 3DS games. A lot of the games lag. That’s a reason for the N3DS. The graphics don’t show what the 3DS can do? If they had done that there would’ve been even more lag. No game corner? Oh well. It’s considered gambling which is illegal to have in a kid’s game in most countries. No character customization? I don’t recall that being in the original game. After all it was a remake. Customization needs to stay in Kalos and anything after that. Not a remake. Besides, Kalos was such a shitty region, it needs to be remembered for something. The fan base is just spoiled. That’s what it comes down to. You want all these things but complain about the lag, which is a result of so many features. The goal of ORAS wasn’t to see how many new features they could fit in, but how to make the most popular games even more memorable than they already were. You can say it wasn’t as good as you expected, but technically, XY’s story hasn’t even started yet. So. ✌️
Here comes the hate
XY>ORAS
Here comes more hate. DP>Everything.
Here comes more hate. No.
Here comes even more hate: ilu bby
lol no you on the right track their.
NO
I would hug you but i know this is sarcasum so no.
Uh… Platinum?
DP > Platinum confirmed
Not at all.
There is not a single aspect that puts x and y on top of ORAS.
#Opinions
No, there isn’t a single aspect that puts X and Y over ORAS.
#Opinions
Provide one reason
Rollar skates
Roller skates were a huge mistake
>swish swish swish
I was so mad they weren’t in ORAS.
Why, just use the bike and get some 10/10 music while you’re at it
Actually, roller skates were pretty pointless considering bikes went faster
wow roller skates really sucked
Roller skates were fucking annoying. “I want to move the analog stick.” skates: “lol let’s fuck up his movements.”
Agreed!
Smash 4 runs at 60 frames per second and has a lot more going on during fights than battles in ORAS. No excuse
Well ORAS is a turn based game, If smash 4 ran at however frame rate, life would be pain
Smash also was focused on that and isn’t as big as ORAS. Tbh it’s shitty game too.
I agree, smash 4 3ds was terrible.
Probably the WORST smash bros yet.
I mean yeah it’s an okay alternative for those without a Wii U but it sucks.
like, The characters are SUPER small.
It takes forever to load too.
Battle Frontier
Unimportant?
Lol no
Lol yes. Battle Frontier is pointless. The Maison is fine.
Saying Frontier is pointless compared to Maison
Those two things are COMPLETELY different
Maison is nothing like the Frontier
The Frontier is much better than Maison in every way
You aren’t stuck doing the same old things over and over
You can EXPAND on what you want to do
Also if you just want to Maison like thing then go to battle tower It is basically the mason anyway. Also “minuscule amount of people played it” Most people had emerald (millions) have played the battle Frontier, it was an epic place it had many variety of things so we can barely get bored.
Also don’t even say Battle Frontier is like competitive battling
because it is barely like competitive battle there are a bunch of different battling scenes and different things you do in each facility that you can’t do wifi wise, it’s great. I mean what reason is there to NOT include the Battle Frontier? The Maison is basically the Tower, it it just expands upon many things. Sorry Defensive I got a little DEFENSIVE there (My mom says I’m funny)
they did have good reason to exclude it, though
What good reason?
XD this is probably to long to read
The reason they didn’t add it is because kids wouldn’t even play it because of the challenge
What?
Then explain why I played played it as a kid?
I didn’t. I didn’t care. At all.
You were apart of a good generation
The advanced generation
THE NOSTALGIA! <3
Exactly, people who grew up with R/S had been challenged, kids who are growing up with gen 6 aren’t used to such challenge.
They never got to experience the greatness of HOENN!!!!
I hate when people talk about customization like I didn’t really care for it in the first place.
So everyone keeps saying how OP mega mence is. yet I’ve been using it on Showdown A LOT. I think I’m doing something wrong. ;~; I’ve never failed using a mega before. plz help. ;~;
If you aren’t using Return, then you will die.
wait. when did you pass me on comment number? Now you’re making look like a noob lol xD
A long time ago. xD
#TimeforgoingintoTopGear
nonon
I’m posting on two other Disquses often now.

You are Hasty

Mega Archie?
You can’t beat that.
Mega Magma beats it anyday!
Your team is shit
Could you also say its…Trubbish? (Play on the British use of Rubbish). No? Not very…punny?
It’s a water type… He makes everyone wet.
I’m doing so bad on the dex. xD
Its mostly because I’m really busy nowadays.
Hey so was I before I actually started trying 😛
I had something around 100 (and that was because I caught mostly every pokemon on all the routes from DexNav) when I got the Natl Dex. Now I’m at 590 something
Ithsme! You’re back!
Wait . . . Is that you Goomy?
Mhm
Wow, I haven’t been here in forever, so it takes me a while to catch up with this kind of stuff. XD
Sup guys!
I’m amazed that than name stuck for more than a month.
Hey, it’s GengarForever, not GengarForOctoberAndSomeOfNovember
How about GengarForOctoberAndSomeOfNovemberAndAllOfDecemberButNeverSeptember?
ButNeverSeptember?
I really miss competitive battling. I think I’m gonna make an all-new ORAS-bred team.
I’m working on a Ghost Monotype team!
Cool! If you dont mind, what are you using?
I really never use fly anymore. It might take longer, but soaring is fun.
That Soaring theme gets me in the feels every time.
Really love the beginning. You know, where Lati@s mega evovles!
Yeah, it’s awesome.
So, how long did it take you guys to complete ORAS’ main story?
It took me around 32 hours, not including the Delta Episode.
Also, what was your level range during the Elite 4?
I think my lowest during the first battle with the Elite 4 was Level 61. Highest was 71.
I forgot but I know I took my time it took me a week
Hopefully not a week straight. xD
Like from release day to the next Saturday XD
It took my around 30 hours. My lowest was 51, highest 55, beat on first try.
Really? Congrats!
I beat it on my first try too.
Mostly because I was overleveled, but, oh well.
No one’s counting. :3
I remember when the E4 was a challenge. Those were the days.
Does Glacia’s Walrein still have Sheer Cold
Yes
Glacia gave me a hard time even though I had Camerupt.
Maybe when I get Mega Camerupt it’ll be better.
So sad it doesn’t get a buff in Speed…
She was kinda hard. I had a tough time beating her.
#StillInSlateport
I thought you said you played to Fortree?
Then I restarted.
Oh, yeah.
I haven’t even beat Wallace yet because of freaking Cobalion.
I rekt Wallace with Mega Manectric.
I could kill him with every pokemon on my team
At least you got it and shiny too. So it was worth it right?
So happy that it almost killed itself xD
Around that time too
My level range was highest 52 lowest 52
Took me a lot of time because the story in AS was so perfect,The delta Episode took a ton of time including catching deoxys in sky pillar after beating E4 again.
about 22 hours inculding DE
About 25 hours.
This is the way to spend your night. Playing pokemon and here on PJ.
…Especially when you should be doing your homework.
Thats a plus!
Lol I’m typing a paper on the side XD
Also, I mistakenly killed Deoxys, how can I fight him again?
Sky Pillar
Thanks!!
wait. wat. I’ve been going this whole time thinking it was gone forever.
Legendaries are never gone permanatly.
Well then i guess i know what my next SR will be!
Shiny Dedenne? :3
Haha good luck!
Deoxys is shiny locked
As well as Rayquaza and Kyogre and Groudon
Damn it
Beat E4 again, appears at Sky Pillar
Thanks!
I need to trade over my beloved 6IV Ditto. Does anyone know is there a place to hatch eggs on a loop? Like Prism tower?
Battle Resort.
Thanks! Thats close to the IV checker!
No
Dicie thinks there is.
Well, I haven’t gotten there yet, but I heard that from places like Reddit and from people that have finished the game.
Try it out and lemme know for sure.
Ok!
All the places to Hatch eggs are manual
Just incase you Put the dime in the circle bad
Also the Resort has you moving continuously
Battle Resort.
