Question of the Day What would you say you've spent most of your time doing in the Pokemon games? |
Swimming. I am in the water way too much in game and end up doing most of my leveling there too regardless of the region.
|
Listening to the Gym Leader music, mostly! If not that, then probably just looking for all of the pokemon in a certain area for the pokedex because it's.. a habit. A habit on getting all of the main pokemon for the dex. :]
|
Currently, I spend most of my time breeding and training Pokemon. But sometimes - since I've beaten the game and have no real goal and since breeding Pokemon can be very time consuming and boring - I just stand in whatever location I'm in at the moment and do nothing (or distract myself with the computer and leave it on for a while). Then I realize that I have nothing I want to do in my game, turn it off, and walk away from it for the rest of the day to sometimes a week. I really want the next game to come out. I even have a team set up and everything.
|
Probably breeding.
|
Most of my time is spent training and breeding for competitive teams~ Which is funny because I don't even do Wi-Fi battles that often. I just do it because it's fun, and it feels so rewarding to finally get that perfect max IV Poke ^^

What would you say that you’ve spent the most time doing in Pokemon games?
Level grinding for sure. I always like to be ready for my next important battle. |
Breeding or battling.
|
Depends the game!
In gen IV, battling with trainers In gen V, going under water near undella town to the abyssal ruins to get all the statues and stuff lol In gen VI, in the battle chateau! |
Mainly just grinding Pokemon to rotate onto my in-game team. Boring but it's worth it.
|
Dex filling. The main story of any Pokemon game never takes me more than 15 hours; the other 80+ I invest into the game comes from wandering routes, training, and breeding Pokemon in order to complete the Pokedex and have one of every type of Pokemon sitting in my boxes. |
Prior to gen 6 just some random stuff. In X and OR I spend a lot of my time collecting items and Pokedex entries and breeding Pokemon.
|
Well, I've spent the most time, or listening to Gym battle/Elite Four/ etc themes, or exploring some areas, trying to see what Pokémon exist there, the graphics in that area, etc ... I think that's it xD Oh, and in X, I've spent to much time in the Battle Chateau leveling up my Pokémon >.<
|
Exploring, just taking walks. That's what I enjoy the most
in games that have a nice world like Pokemon does :) |
Battling. Geez, I've spent way too much time in battles, grinding up pokemon levels.
|
The first thing that comes to mind is training, definitely! Aside from that, I've also spent a decent amount of time battling online, as well as hatching eggs.
|
Hatching Pokémon and closely followed by training Pokémon, finally trading Pokémon.
|
I've spent most of my time breaking into other people's houses and talking to then without permission.
|
EV training. Sadly, I have been getting urges to train my in-game Pokemon this way since learning about them. (sometimes I even EV train in ROM hacks) My bad habit of being a perfectionist leads me to view them as an "inferior" version of their competitive counterparts. :( Sometimes I end up wishing that I hadn't heard of EVs at all. On the bright side, learning about EVs led me to try out online battling after X and Y were released. Competitive battling helped to eliminate the habit of having four attacking moves in every Pokemon.
|
Great answers! Training and trading seem to be most popular. Thank you 6th gen, for making both of those easier than ever ^^
Question of the Day What’s your worst lost save data horror story? (Remember, save often! Only you can prevent loss of save data!) |
What’s your worst lost save data horror story? This happened to me fairly recently with my copy of Pokemon X. I'd finally managed to get one of every Pokemon in my boxes, and I hadn't touched it for months. I went back to it to get the Diancie event when it was released, and...nothing. The game wouldn't pick up in either of my 3DS. Frantic, I sent it off to Nintendo tech support, who then proceeded to keep quiet for nearly three months before having the audacity to charge me £39.99 for a brand new game: no save data recovery. Apparently the cartridge was faulty, and it happens sometimes with no word of warning. It took me almost a month to find out that much, exactly what they were trying to charge me for. I refused to pay, because why should I? I'd done nothing wrong. Nintendo were the ones at fault, and they'd kept me waiting for months without any idea of what had gone wrong. Without a single word of apology for the delay or for the failure of their product, they sent the faulty cartridge back to me. I sent several very angry e-mails of complaint. They never responded or offered me anything in the way of compensation. Some of the Pokemon on X I'd had since my first Ruby file some ten years previously. Sometimes it doesn't matter how often you save. |
I still play Pokemon Emerald which is my forever favorite considering I dont have a 3ds yet (considering buying this xmas) and I think the most time I've spent is looking for a shiny feebas and planting berries in the process. I mean that was some crazy stuff I did and it took me more than half of my summer.
|
It was on both Pokémon Sapphire and Fire Red.
