Catching Taillow and then sweeping the game with it.

Be afraid, Roxanne.

Bibliophibian September 24th, 2014 11:34 AM

I'll go through like I always do with new games; keep my starter all the way, and catch Pokémon that I think would be interesting to use. I also try to use Pokémon that I haven't used before if I can.

IceyGamer September 24th, 2014 12:46 PM

Speed play through like I do with every new pokemon game I get. I don't worry about EVs, IVs, or how low leveled my team is. I get to the end then worry about what I am going to do next after finishing the post-game.

Shrew September 27th, 2014 11:36 PM

I'll play it like Ash did in Hoenn, by not transfering any pokemon over until I wrap up the Pokemon League. :P And if there's a Battle Frontier, I'll use pokemon obtained from other games.

I'll just use Mudkip. I considered also using a Torchic side-by-side because its the only Hoenn fire type I like, but decided that the whole "reset for multiple starters" thing will never be my thing. I definitely will not be using the shiny Beldum. I might try to trade with someone for a Zangoose because I'll be playing Alpha Sapphire, though.

Makau September 28th, 2014 8:25 AM

The idea of playing Sapphire and Alpha Sapphire at the same time has been floating around in my head for a while. I'm not sure if I'll do it yet.

oshizlgzngahr September 28th, 2014 8:30 AM

I'm probably going to do a regular play through with the starter being my mega and the shiny beldum not mega evolving, then doing a wonderlocke in the next play through of it.

oshimas September 28th, 2014 10:59 AM

i never got to play through the original game, so i might just go through like how i normally will with pokemon games, using my starter and training new pokemon along the way. there's some pokemon from that region i've been wanting to try out too. and maybe that shiny beldum might stay in the box for now till i can ev train it.

LightBlast September 28th, 2014 1:28 PM

I have felt that I played the original way too fast, so I will take my time to enjoy the beauty of the scenery in 3D.

Venitardus September 28th, 2014 1:34 PM

ill be playing like i do every other game, play through one game with only the games dex, the other with traded ones.

HollyYoshi September 28th, 2014 3:18 PM

I'll just play through the game normally for my first time.

Hiatus September 28th, 2014 6:17 PM

I'll likely be starting off my journey like I always do--as a new player. Or adventurer, if you will. Meaning, I'll be starting off with a starter Pokémon, catching anything I'm able to find, train, evolve, and try building a team off them while still travelling from place-to-place, defeating Gym Leaders and bad guys.

I will be transferring some of my Pokémon from Y version at some point, but that will be after I'm done playing through story-line and post-game. Would need them, mainly due to battling online and whatnot.

ShadowEdge September 28th, 2014 10:11 PM

First picking Mudkip then finding a flying type as soon as possible then maybe get a poochyena

SproutTower September 29th, 2014 3:34 AM

Mudkip then Poochyena.
Then I'll trade over a Bellsprout :P

Bellsprout September 29th, 2014 7:35 AM

idk I still haven't decided between torchic or treecko yet... I'm kind of waiting till the last possible week before the game comes out so I have all the information I need to create the team I'll be happy with most.

I may use the gts to get some Pokemon I want if I really need to, but I don't plan on trading anything over from other games.

If you are deciding between the two, pick the one you don't want. Chances are, those two will be highly picked among other trainers, and so then you can just trade for the starters you actually want. But, it is only a suggestion.

My normal style of play usually revolves around just catching the first thing that moves and seeing how far I make it that way first. The technique and style comes in after I feel safe with saying that the game is harder than X/Y

Why would I do that when I can just pick the starter I want at the beginning of the game though?

Altairis September 29th, 2014 11:12 PM

Once the PokeDex is fully confirmed, I'm going to plan my team for the last time. :D Maybe I'll plan down to the movesets, but I'm definitely going to choose which Pokemon I'm going to use the first time. I'll also probably pick their nicknames so I have lots of time before I actually catch the 'mon to think of something, haha.

Morgnarok September 30th, 2014 8:43 AM

I have Preordered both. I will pick them up and start playing on November 21st along with the Officer Pokemon Game Guide that I always get with the games upon release. When I get home I will transfer every possible Pokemon I have on my Pokemon X & Pokemon Y to Pokemon Omega Ruby which Will be my main game. I always buy both games but I only choose one and play it the other version just goes into my Pokemon room with the rest of my Pokemon collection. After I have transfered all Pokemon to bank I will then transfer a Flawless IV/Perfect Nature & Ability & Ev Trained Level 100 Sceptile, Blaziken, Marshtomp, Metagross & play the game. The other two slots in my team will be HM Slaves.

James169 October 12th, 2014 3:03 PM

I'm getting both so am thinking of doing a play through with 6 pokemon that il breed for at lvl1 (i cant be bothered to do ev/iv stuff) and another play through with purely speed based pokemon but I'm not sure whether to go with the fastest non legendary from each gen, the overall fastest non legendaries or the 6 fastest from hoenn

Also really tempted to go for a hp based non legendary team just to annoy people

MarcEddy October 13th, 2014 8:46 AM

I don't care about EVs,and IV for in game.

AuroraBeam October 13th, 2014 10:19 AM

I want an Audino on my team and have already bred a 5iv one waiting for my game. x3
I thought about having a 5iv Treecko ready but I think I'll use the one the game gives me. I might breed a Swablu as well since I want an Altaria on my team. Those are my plans but I may just go through the game without trading, haha. xD It's funner that way.

pkmin3033 October 13th, 2014 10:57 PM

I'll start the game twice first to get the starters (hopefully with mega stones attached) and then start it properly a third time with the remaining starter, then play through the game normally, catching whatever appeals to me (Taillow almost certainly, and maybe a Ralts as well provided it's not as insanely rare as it was in the original games...) and just taking my time with it.

I won't transfer anything at all from X until I start dex-filling, and then it'll be only for a Ditto if I don't have one and whatever I can't get in the game. I like to fill as much of a dex as I can before resorting to transferring things over.

JesteR October 18th, 2014 3:38 AM

I'll probably send over my lvl 7 shiny Sableye, but keep everything else in game. I love my Sableyes...

curiousnathan October 18th, 2014 3:49 AM

I'll be playing the game normally. Every member of my team will be caught in the game. I don't intend on using the shiny Beldum either. :)

defeu October 18th, 2014 3:45 PM

I'll probably transfer some of my favorite Pokemon over, such as my shiny Glaceon and my shiny Milotic.

Other than that I'll probably just catch Pokemon for my team.
