I SUPPOSE IT IS.
Ahaha, that's understandable. And I didn't read about this other method. Perhaps I should. d:
Lol. Still, I just like the idea of normal pokéballs. Especially since every trainer in the game uses normal pokéballs. It's weird being the odd one out, y'know? Plus I don't really watch the intro animations all that much.
YEEEEEEES. That's what I'm hoping for. Basically the moment I finished this game, I was thinking "hopefully they'll remedy all this in Z." The characters definitely need more elaboration. I like each unique character having a story to them. You battle each scientist twice, and they're made completely uninteresting because they add nothing to the plot. The gym leaders are kind of just "oh, hey, let me get a badge from you," and then you forget their names because they were boring. Korrina had a nice story to her, and Wulfric had a *tiny* bit with the Pokémon Village. The Elite Four? Malva is freaking epic from the little she was elaborated on, so I would LOVE for her to have more story. The other three were just kind of there. Diantha is cool, but we did only see her twice before seeing her as champion. And AZ was a nice character, but he could have had more done with him. He still might, considering there should be an event for his special Floette at some point in the future. But one thing I really hope they fix is how ridiculously easy the game is. Give EVERYONE stronger pokémon, because on my second playthrough I one shotted most everything. I would love for Horde Battles to be five pokémon without the reduced levels, but going by ORAS screenshots that's not going to happen. It has so much potential, but they didn't take advantage of it. Hopefully they fix at least some of the problems, if not all. And I think one of the issues was that X and Y was being developed alongside BW and B2W2. It lost many of the features implemented in those games, and then it did come out soon after them so there was no way to quickly try and implement those features. BW and B2W2 had incredible stories, and X and Y had just as much potential, but they didn't execute it as well as Gen V.
I never get the Dream Radar. :x But I do now have a male and female Frogadier with Protean, so I can start breeding a bunch of babies with the ability and work on the IVs and Nature more.
Ahaha, people actually say things? I got nothing on my birthday. I don't connect to the internet much anymore with the game because I don't benefit from it at all, really. Good for you, though!
