Secret bases are luv. Secret bases are lyf
Never really went into them that much, but I did definitely have one. It was the one near the entrance of that place where you could catch Solrock/Lunatone, haha. Probably the most common one >_< |
I honestly do not remember where my secret base was... if I played again I might remember though.
The secret base aspect was fun, even though at the time I only had one friend who could find mine. I really like customizing rooms and such, and it's a shame that the feature no longer exists, at least in the form I would like. Yeah, we had the Underground in D/P/Pt, but that didn't seem as fun. If we had Nintendo WFC in R/S/E era, I think potential would be limitless. But alas, that's why I keep my GBA around. |
Oh man, secret bases were awesome. It really sucks that they got rid of them, they were really cool. Sure, there was the underground in D/P/P, but it didn't have the same feel to it. I really hope they bring them back in OR/AS. ^^

Yeah I remember mine. I tried it out, but I wasn't to impressed. I rather explore the world.

I loved making secret bases. Only thing that made me mad was that I could use it to heal my Pokemon. That would have been awesome. However, I can see why they didn't make that a feature, you could just easily cheat the game by level grinding and healing. For my personal reasons, I'd have liked it so I didn't have to go back to the Pokemon center constantly when I was in the routes. I usually set mine up with a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 combo. One Third for Fire, One Third for Ice/Water, and One Third for Grass. Was a great way to be a bit artistic in game. R/S/E Can you guess which types were associated to which game? |
I freaking LOVE the secret bases! currently, my secret base is between meteor falls and fallarbor town, next to the kindler guy (cant remember his name). the inside of the base looks like a giant spiral shape. I get sort of Stircrazy after a while and migrate from place to place at least once a week and redesign my base every time, trying to get that perfect look to it. I used to say red/blue (or in this case) FrLg was the absolute best of them all, until I discovered RSE, they've captured my full attention and I have no desire to move ahead or back to any generations. BEST GEN EVER!

I loved the Secret Bases. The fact that you could make your own, personalized little space almost anywhere was so appealing. I used to look everywhere to find the most isolated bases on Hoenn and I usually chose the northernmost base on the map that needs waterfall and the acro bike :D. My favorite decorations were the glass ornament from the contests and the plants from the flower shop and in fortree (also spent a little too much time collecting ashes lol). Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to share records with anyone haha. From jumping straight from Gen. 3 to Gen.6 I was really upset and nostalgic to see it didn't survive; I'm rooting for RES to be remade :D.

I thought secret bases were awesome. I always tried to make my secret base in a tree and somewhat isolated. For me the perfect secret base would be a tree or bush, in its own little niche, and somewhat hard to notice but walking distance within a city. The bush near the pond west of lilycove was my base for a while but im still looking for a new one.

I remember as kids, my cousin and I would trade each other's pokemon and level them up and trade them back to each other. Doing so made us want to try mixing records and we ended up getting each other's secret bases. I was always jealous of my cousin because he would always get more achievements done in Ruby than I did in Sapphire so he got all the cool furniture for his secret base. I still loved being able to battle his pokemon even when we weren't hanging out thanks to having his secret base in my save file.
|
Ahh, I remember the bases. Mine was usually in that rainy, grassy patch near Fortree. When I was younger, my friends and I got together and made gyms out of our secret bases. It was awesome.
|
If there were a way to share secret bases with friends--such as customizing the house together when connected with link-cable and whatnot--I feel that it would have been pretty nice, and I'm sure a lot of other people would've appreciated it as well. It's not exactly a huge deal, though; just a minor idea that possibly could have helped make the feature better than it is.
Hope they're able to implement such a thing in their remakes! |
