Secret bases were amazing. Mixing records with friends made it so exciting as we had a whole village in Route 115. We would also try and buy every decoration item in the game, then design the hut like a gym then battle their teams like they are leaders.
|
Secret Bases in RSE was really a fun feature to have... Even now when I'm playing with my phone my friends and I usually battle then decorate our secret bases like some sort of gym leader and then battle again! I always win though... besides from that I always try to buy all of the decoration items that could be found.. it's a shame that it's limited to only 16?(can't remember) decorations in a base... and I never found out how to cover the holes in my secret bases XD..
|
I never really thought it was necessary, but it was fun.
That's all I have to say. |
I enjoyed this feature, and it was sad they never appeared again after 4th Gen. I did like trying out different locations when it came to where I wanted my Secret Base to be, but I think I enjoyed the ones inside of bushes or trees the best.
|
The ability to make secret bases is the feature that I miss the most about the RSE games. My friends and I used to enjoy mixing our records together and spending the next hour or two trying to find each other's bases, and then battling whoever was in the base :)
My two routes of choice for secret bases were Route 111 and Route 119. When I had the mach bike, my base would be set up at the spot near by the desert, near the edge of the sand where the black belt trainer is. However I preferred the spot at Route 119 more. It's the one north of the weather institute above the waterfall and past the acro bike bridges. Because I used the mach bike more, it was definitely a chore when I had to switch to the acro every time I wanted to get to my base, but it was well worth it because of how difficult the base is to access. |
I really enjoyed this feature in both Gen.3 and 4. I don't know why they didn't use this feature on this current generation.
|
Secret bases were awesome. They were so addictive and they really gave you a sense of achievement if you pulled one off well. I really liked the various places you could hide it, and that one ninja boy always reminded you were it was. I remember searching for the perfect base everywhere I went, and buying dolls and mats like crazy. Gen IV was a ripoff okay, but I don't see the point of making a "Secret Base" underground. It should be somewhere above, right?
|
I think mine might've been in the same space as yours, right by Fortree where the news reporters battle you. I spent a long time decorating it after I beat the game and I'd check every day for rooftop "blowout" sales and buy a ton of items. It was a fun place to "chill" and just one of those cool side features in games that added replay value before the advent of online play. I actually mixed records with one friend and we found each others' bases and battled!
|
I changed the location of all my bases depending on my location in the fame,it was so fun,I,with 5 years old almost destroyed my GBA when I encountered that kid who tels ehere your base is.I feeled violated.
//=========================================================// So,I have a Wish,I Wish that someone make a Hack that you is the rival(I'd maek one,but i don't know howand i can't see any tutorial because i'm from Brazil,so my english) |
I LOVED the secret bases, I always made mine in the little island between Mauville and New Mauville since it was huge in there and awesome.
They were awesome and I wish they had carried it on. |
Why not follow in later games? I loved to create your own database objects ye go shopping, I had fun ...
|
Secret bases were awesome! I liked to have mine on Route 119; you needed Surf and/or an Acro Bike to access it. It often rained on that route, which was a bonus. Despite that, I often chose different locations so I always forgot where my base was.
|
Secret Bases in R/S/E were a nice addition. I utilized this feature across Ruby & Sapphire cartridges to keep records of a prized team from each instance I restarted the adventure in Ruby. I used easy-access locations close to towns for this as it was extremely unlikely any one of my friends would use such a location for a base that is supposed to be secret.
|
I had a lot of different secret bases throughout my Sapphire game; I changed around a lot but I always picked secluded ones that you have to Surf to and such because I thought that made it more "secret". :P
|
I made mine near Fortree and near Mauville on the island. I really liked the secret bases and mine were pretty cool and decorated. :) Although it was a shame I could only share my base with myself, haha.
|
I really loved the secret bases in Hoenn.
When I first discovered them in the game I was so amazed that I could make my own little spot in different places within nature. I always chose to place mine inside of trees because the inside looked the best to me. I love this aspect and all but sadly I never really made use out of it in my games. I'd use it for a little while then forget about it entirely. ;A; It's probably because I wasn't so good about decorating or getting furniture as a kid... I really need to go back and try to make an actually good base for a change... OTL; |
I like Secret Bases.
Mine is at the south of the Mauville City and the Cycling Road. Near New Mauville, on the little island. |
Secret bases remain one of my favorite features in Pokemon to this day. It was a little confusing for me at first, but once I got the hang of it, I was hooked. Decorating for hours on end, I slaved over my various bases to make them as pretty and comfortable as possible. Although I sometimes regret spending so much time on a rather useless feature, it was nice to have a kind of building mechanic in a Pokemon game.
|
One of the best features ever, indeed. They aren't very useful but they are fun.
Now that I restarted Sapphire, I still need to decide on a nice spot. I want somewhere by the ocean but with berry trees nearby. I'll be scouting ;) |
It's definitely a feature I hope to see return/be expanded on in the remakes. I really liked how when you did a record mix with someone they would appear in their secret base with their team for you to challenge. There is some great potential now we can connect our devices to the internet. I'd love to get dozens of other people's bases in my game with trainers for me to challenge.
|
I loved the secret bases. In partciluar I also liked how you could mix people's records and go to their secret bases and battle them and get experiance points. Looking back now it sounds like a great way to ev train a pokemon if you can set it up right.
I had so much fun on the musical tiles. Trying to play songs with the notes. And the dolls. Now my bedroom looks more like my secret base. |
Yeah i agree that secret base made ruby sapphire and emerald a gold time games. But i was not sooo excited about the secret base. I used to live a while in a secret base. To store my dolls and toys and cution etc. It was a great day. And then i got it little boring.
|
Oh God I still act as thought the Secret Bases are my houses in Hoenn. I get one in particular every single time and always decorate it the exact same way lol. The Secret Basses were just so cute, and I love pretending like I'm actually in the game while in one just lazing around in there watching TV on my Skitty shaped TV while laying on my giant Wailmer Doll. <3

I loved the idea of Secret Bases; last I recall, my SB in Ruby and Emerald are on the beach near Mauville, on the side where Fortree and Lilycove and all those places are. Loved decorating them a lot; I'd have at least a billion plushes in them XD (Well, more like three--loved having all three Hoenn starter plushes in it.) I also liked being able to go to others' Secret Bases and battling them/seeing how theirs were laid out; however, I lacked a GBA Link Cable and was nearing that point where other people around my age were starting to dislike Pokemon, so I didn't have many people I could mix records with :<
|
I could never find it, shame on me eh :/
