Are you still playing?
 
OR/AS have been out for six whole months now, giving many of us more than enough time to settle into the games or wait until we were able to actually purchase a copy. Are you still playing these games with them being out for half a year? What do you usually do to pass time during play? Are you focusing on breeding, possibly shiny hunting, maybe you're still going through the story? If you're not playing anymore, why not? Did these games last you longer or less than you thought they would?

I spend some time breeding new teams based on particular themes that pops up in my head (i.e. star constellation, artificial pokemon, etc), then I would get on battle spot to test out these teams and have fun.

bobandbill April 28th, 2015 1:56 AM

I played in the last month to make a team for a VGC event in Sydney. Having another break now but I'll pick it up soon enough to do stuff like gimmick teams and contests.

I stopped playing mostly because of other new games I also enjoy playing that came out, haha.

Hikamaru April 28th, 2015 2:26 AM

I'm still having fun just training up Pokemon in Alpha Sapphire, and doing some exploring of course while still building up money for when I need to get some items. And of course being addicted to the DexNav.

antemortem April 28th, 2015 3:47 AM

uhh well my 3DS has been out of commission for awhile (... also I'm too lazy to turn it on) so I haven't played for a bit. I think the next time I turn it on I'm going to get addicted to the Maison again, so I'm trying to wait some time, since if I devote any more time to it I'll literally burn out my internet/social life in the tradeoff haha

Oblox April 28th, 2015 5:43 AM

Yep, just playing through the battle maison for the ribbons on my main team. Just 3/4 way through the doubles first round then onto super doubles as i'm quite enjoying double battles.

Also still playing through Y at the same time.

Pendraflare April 28th, 2015 6:13 AM

I am still playing as I have quite a few different types of playthroughs I can do, including one i'm in the middle of now. But I still haven't done too much with my main copy.

Boured April 28th, 2015 6:46 AM

I would be playing it today but my save was corrupted leaving me having to start over and with my entire competitive team lost in the process and I also lost the shiny metagross from the event it was a very bad time but I will play again that and I still have Pokemon in my bank so yay.

Altairis April 29th, 2015 1:10 AM

Unfortunately, I haven't picked up ORAS in a while, but it's not really the game's fault I guess! I DID complete the Pokedex, and I'm not really into breeding, so there isn't a whole lot for me to do anyway, plus when I have the time to play video games I would much rather spend my time playing something I haven't completed in order to clear my backlog, such as Majora's Mask <3 I think once I finish a good chunk of other things I will pick up ORAS again in order to complete a few of my unfinished projects :)

Damaged_Dweeb1273 April 29th, 2015 1:56 AM

I play casually now... Just randomly making sets to pokemon I think I can tweak to 'near perfection' in my opinion, mostly secondary evolution or last evolutions.

Been previously addicted to maison... I got all the trophies through by the power of the addiction... Except the triple battle...
Still yet to compile team that can perform well above 30+
Nearly got the 200 streak in singles a couple of days ago after a long while... BUT I GOT BEATEN ON MY 199th BATTLE! (TnT)
So only have 198 streak on mine.
And no. I am not interested so much on gimmick teams to use online/offline.

I give you guys a tip to design 2 team for singles... Each one strong against their weaknesses,,, For example, simplistically a mono-dark team and a psychic/fairy/fire/ice/flying/rock team. The maison adapts to your team after awhile~

To be honest. The boredom from people is mostly because of how ridiculously easy it was to complete the PokeDex through cheaters or WonderTrade.
Another reason why I don't appreciate them.

Palkia April 29th, 2015 8:57 AM

Been trying to do the Triple Battle challenge in the Battle Maision. It's more of a taste in patience due to how much they drag on.

Kikaito plush April 30th, 2015 2:13 AM

I am trying to get 500 wins for the battle mansion

AquaMarine8 April 30th, 2015 5:05 PM

Heck yes! I purchased Alpha Sapphire first, on which I am still trying to obtain all of the available legendaries.

Then I purchased Omega Ruby to just play through the story again. I'm on my fifth play through of it now. :D

Ultan April 30th, 2015 5:32 PM

Try to get into as much wins in Singles in Maison as possible (without a good strategy) 65 is around where it usually ends for me. Breed random pokemon to try out every now and then, would start playing VGC but any team I think of trying requires some legend that (such as Terrakion) and I can never catch a perfect IVed one (even really close I can't seem to get lucky with except for a Cresslia with random speed IV that probably isn't ideal competitively) and the way I can only catch it on a certain day of the week makes me not care anymore.

Want to restart Alpha Sapphire soon but will wait until after exams/projects are done because I don't really have the time rn.

Centipede Chan April 30th, 2015 5:51 PM

I sold mine like an idiot. So tomorrow I can hopefully get out to gamestop to by Omega Ruby, again. I miss playing modern pokemon games, and it'll be fun restarting from nothing, again, in 6th gen.

Mimikyu402 May 1st, 2015 4:04 PM

Currently Shiny breeding In alpha saphire

Starry Windy May 14th, 2015 7:44 AM

I haven't played Alpha Sapphire for months because I was having interest in other Pokémon games at that time, but recently I've been playing it more to attend Pokémon Contest Spectacular.

CountessGardevoir May 14th, 2015 2:10 PM

Am I still playing? Of course I am!

Regumika May 14th, 2015 2:21 PM

I'm still playing OR occasionally. I had been breeding for the last ~20 hours of game time. I just bought AS the other day in preparation of starting a Monotype challenge along with someone =)

Early May 14th, 2015 7:04 PM

I got the game late for my birthday back in February, and I haven't played it a whole lot since unwrapping it; not because I don't like it, but because I keep forgetting to continue. I've really enjoyed it so far, though, so I'll probably still play for a while even after beating the main story. I played X/Y long after finishing up, so I don't think Omega Ruby will be too much different for me.

Megan May 15th, 2015 3:03 AM

I stopped playing shortly after I managed to complete the Nationaldex, which was quite time consuming and after having spend tons of hours into the game, I felt like being in need of a long break, which is what I'm doing right now.

Torshavn May 15th, 2015 3:15 AM

Yep. Still playing. I only got the game three days ago and I'm playing both Omega Ruby and X at the same time, so it's going to take a while before I even get somewhat close to finishing the main story.

Nah May 15th, 2015 4:48 AM

I haven't been playing it much lately, but I've still somehow racked up 300 hours on it. And I still have stuff to do like get 50+ wins in Super Singles, Rotations, and Multi (already did it in Doubles), actually do stuff with my Secret Base, win the Contests, fill up the regional Dex @[email protected]

starseed galaxy auticorn May 15th, 2015 5:39 AM

Yes and no. I play seldomly, basically. I play the older games more than I do ORAS. I think a lot of it has to do with difficulty for me. I've never been very good at Pokemon games with a lot challenges to face. Don't get me wrong, I love challenging games. It's just I still have quite the hard time beating them.

XY was probably the easiest for me to beat without wanting to use cheats. I love XY more than ORAS, to be honest. The reason is because it was the first pokemon game I ever beat without using cheats or my level 100 shiny Mew (don't ask) in ORAS. :|

Coffee May 15th, 2015 5:41 AM

Still playing :D
I just love wondertrading too much :3
