1. Took me a week to get Alpha Sapphire, due to busy schedule back then.

Cathy, few questions if you don't mind.~
-Am I suppose to edit my post for subsequent answers?
-Can I get Kyogre even if I answered all 14? XD

I waited a week too. I had just started a new job the week before it came out, and I had to wait another week to get my first pay so that I could afford it. I was so happy when I was finally able to get it though!

And nope! Just post your next answer as a new post (unless of course doing so would result in a double post). And yes, if you answer all 14 you can get any one you want!

Sydian November 8th, 2015 11:21 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

I picked up AlphaSapphire at the midnight release for it, along with Smash 4 for Wii U. :) I didn't get OmegaRuby until Christmas.

Laguna November 8th, 2015 11:21 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Yes! I wouldn't dare not to pick up the remakes of my favourite generation.

esperance November 8th, 2015 11:30 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Yes! I got Alpha Sapphire the day it came out--I had pre-ordered it a few months earlier, so it was there the day of. However, I didn't get Omega Ruby until a few months later.

Nah November 8th, 2015 11:32 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Yeah, I did. I've gotten the games the day they come out since Black/White, didn't see a reason to stop.

CatAlert November 8th, 2015 12:07 PM

To be honest, I got it over half of a year after it came out since it was my first Pokemon game. Now I wish I had gotten it sooner!

myystogan November 8th, 2015 12:42 PM

Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Hell yeah I did. I remember the day really clearly, haha.
OR/AS's release date fell on a Friday which thankfully happened to be a school half day for me, so I ended up getting the game at about noon at the GameStop in the mall close to my house.
I was basically that maniac grinning madly after getting their double sided Diancie + Kyogre/Groudon poster and pre-ordered game copy. I was probably the most hyped person in the line, lmao. Gotta admit, I'm not a huge fan of the Hoenn region, but all of the pre-release videos got me really excited to finally play it.

DraconianWing November 8th, 2015 1:57 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Of course! I would be out of my mind if I didn't get a day-1 copy of a remake for my favorite region and generation :) After the announcement, there was a level of hype in me that hasn't been felt since the original BW games.

Zoroark Cutie November 8th, 2015 2:04 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

I unfortunately did not. At the time it came out, I didn't have a 3DS/2DS and so I couldn't play it on day one.

Caite-chan November 8th, 2015 2:04 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

I did as it was my first midnight release ever. A friend and I did it and then spent all night playing. :D


Hikamaru November 8th, 2015 5:22 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Nope, I got my copies for Christmas last year. I never tend to get a new game outside of then or my birthday, depending on its release date.

Eeyup! I even shared the events of how I grabbed myself Omega Ruby. :3

Pendraflare November 8th, 2015 6:16 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Yep! Had them both on reservation and went right in to get them the day they were ready. I remember being the last person able to get on the 3:25 bus to the mall then. :P

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire November 8th, 2015 7:17 PM

1) Yeah I did. Actually I had wanted to skip my final class to get it earlier. It caused great anxiety to skip...but in the end I found out that my professor had canceled class that day once I arrived and checked my e-mail 0_o.

Altairis November 8th, 2015 7:45 PM

1. yup! I don't remember exactly how but I probably bussed home from school to buy me and my brother's? Or my mom drove us to the store? I'm not sure but since it was a Friday, I believe, there's no way I wouldn't have gotten it immediately haha.

artemis360 November 8th, 2015 7:47 PM

I got my on Saturday :( I'd started a new job and forgot what day it was I was so sad when I was at work and realized that it was released. I went and downloaded it as soon as I could.

PlatinumDude November 8th, 2015 11:56 PM

1. I got Alpha Sapphire the day it came out, but held back for a month for Omega Ruby.

Qibli November 9th, 2015 1:30 AM

I didn't get it when it was out, I was able to get it on August so I wasn't early one.

Sopheria November 9th, 2015 4:18 AM

It's always so nice to get a game the day it comes out! Especially a game we've all been waiting for like OR/AS ;P

Here's the second question for our countdown! Just 12 days to go until the anniversary!

What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

Laguna November 9th, 2015 4:22 AM

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

I chose AS because I knew at least one of my friends was getting OR and I wanted to get all the legendaries easier. Not much besides that.

Qibli November 9th, 2015 4:28 AM

What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Somehow I choose OR because my other friend have AS.

Hikamaru November 9th, 2015 4:28 AM

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

I actually got both, but I played AS more of the two because it had the version exclusives I liked better, plus Water is obviously better than Fire hehehehe

(such a shame my AS corrupted though because it's now made me less motivated to play them)

Nah November 9th, 2015 4:29 AM

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Literally all it was was that I have Ruby so I thought I'd get Alpha Sapphire to try the other side of it.

That was basically my reasoning too. I originally played Sapphire, so I got Omega Ruby this time around to change things up. Another factor was that there's a certain Pokemon that's exclusive to OR that I just had to have in my main playthrough! http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/5/53/303MS.png

esperance November 9th, 2015 4:54 AM

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

I mean I have both now, but I got Alpha Sapphire first because Sapphire was the one I had back in the day. Besides, I like Kyogre better than Groudon. ;)

KorpiklaaniVodka November 9th, 2015 4:58 AM

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?


I don't own them but would have picked Omega Ruby because Primal Groudon is boss.

Wicked3DS November 9th, 2015 5:59 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Yup, did a preordered and picked it up that Friday night (along with Super Smash Bros Wii U since they were the same day).

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

Honestly not really sure, that was just the one that I chose :P

myystogan November 9th, 2015 6:08 AM

What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

Picking OR over AS was an easy choice for me. I used to like Kyogre more than Groudon, but with their new forms... Groudon is definitely the better one, and I love the primal ability it got.
Also, I prefer red over blue, haha.

PlatinumDude November 9th, 2015 1:59 PM

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?: I played the original Sapphire before the original Ruby because I liked Kyogre's design better, so I got Alpha Sapphire first.

DraconianWing November 9th, 2015 2:07 PM

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I picked OR partly because it corresponds with Ruby, the original that I played. One of my friends got AS too, so that played a factor in my decision too. Didn't really consider the version exclusives, but I might have tilted towards AS if I had checked them out beforehand.

Pendraflare November 9th, 2015 2:33 PM

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

I went with Omega Ruby as my main one, because I like the exclusives - including Primal Groudon - more than those of Alpha Sapphire, so that one is where I have a complete Pokédex and other cool stuff. I have another copy that I did my Wedlocke in earlier in the year.

ジュナイパー November 9th, 2015 2:40 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Honestly, no I didn't. When it came out I was so pumped but I didn't even have XY yet so... yeah. I got it about 6 months late.

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I chose Alpha Sapphire over Omega Ruby because my brother had ΩRuby and I wanted to be able to have all the legendaries available (with my own nicknames, of course); so I just tell him to name them what I want. So I can give him Kyogre/Latias/Thundurus/Lugia, and he gives me Groudon/Latios/Tornadus/Ho-oh. I actually regret it though (I wanted Seedot!).

What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

I prefer the Water-type, I'm like a total crazy Water-type fan! Therefore Kyogre gets my vote, but that also means I have no access to a OTID Groudon as well as other awesome exclusive such as HA Skrelp, Mawile and so on. D:

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Before I got myself a 3DS and PKMN X, my last handheld PKMN game was Ruby. That was the reason why I chose Omega Ruby, because nostalgia. <3
That, and I kinda like fire themes more than water.

pokemontrainer_samuel November 9th, 2015 6:50 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
I forgot to preorder it, and the suppliers in my state only had them in stock on the following day after the launch, so I couldn't get one of the day it came out (but if we count USA Central Time Zone instead of my local time, which is +8 GMT, I still made it xD )

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
It was pretty easy. I played Sapphire 12 years ago. So it's definitely Alpha Sapphire this time #TeamMagmaRulez

3. What did you nickname your starter?
Didn't nickname her anything. I never fancied nicknames for my Pokemon, unless it's those I use to battle with other players.

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Yes. Afterall Lisia kinda forced me to participate.

5. Which bike did you choose when you first got to Mauville?
Mach Bike, so that I could progress faster.

6. Where did you establish your first ever Secret Base?
I was kinda forced by Aarune to build one on the spot, so there it was.

7. What was the first Pokemon you Mega Evolved in the game?
Blaziken

8. Did you catch any Pokemon from the Safari Zone in your first playthrough?
Definitely. But can't remember which.

9. Did you keep Groudon/Kyogre on your team after you caught it?
Nah. To me, legendaries are so precious that I keep them just for display. Can't risk scratching them.

10. What was your championship team?
Basically it was all the Pokemon I caught early in the game, plus my starter.
Blaziken
Linoone
Swellow
Lombre
Mightyena
Gardevoir

CatAlert November 9th, 2015 8:46 PM

For question 2, I honestly picked AS based on the appearance of the legendary, the color, and knowing ruby is my birthstone and I was feeling rather rebellious. Now that I know a few things about the games, I am glad I did, especially since water is now one of my favorite types.

Fun Size November 9th, 2015 9:00 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Actually no. When they first came out, I didn't have a 2ds/3ds yet, so I didn't see the point of getting it yet. My reason for this was because I tried hard to hold off until the New 3ds came out. Unfortunately, I was so tempted by the need of a 2ds/3ds that I cracked and got a 2ds buying Pokemon X and Pokemon Omega Ruby in the process.

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I chose OR because I guess I thought it looked cooler. I've never exactly had a preference for the games so I just went with it. Although for the gen 3 games, Ruby was the one that I played so maybe I just wanted to play it again even though it's a little different?

Candy November 9th, 2015 9:11 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
No, I had to wait 'til Sunday 'cause I was busy on Friday and Saturday. At least I got it along with my friend hahaha.

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

I initially wanted to pick AS over OR as Sapphire was my first game, but my friend was really keen on getting AS and I wanted to respect her wishes sooo...

Plus I'm more of a fan of the OR exclusives than the AS exclusives, well aside from Kyogre hahaha :v

WingsofBliss November 9th, 2015 9:49 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

I honestly can't remember, but I'm pretty positive that it was within the week that they came out.

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

The original Sapphire version is what I had played in the past, so I thought it was fitting to get the remake of that version. And Kyogre feelings.

Poké Bean November 9th, 2015 11:39 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?

Absolutely! Luckily the post arrived pretty early too! As I hadn't played the originals at that point it was like a brand new game to me and I was so eager to explore Hoenn!

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?

I chose AS as I prefer water and Team Aqua looked so cool! Really wanted Kyogre on my team too for surfing and diving!

KetsuekiR November 10th, 2015 12:20 AM

Wow, an year went by way too fast!

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Not even close to the day it came out. I played Omega Ruby for the first time last August xD
2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Well, I love both Groudon and Kyogre equally so I didn't really choose one over the other for any reason whatsoever other than the store not having Alpha Sapphire xD

RagingDunsparce November 10th, 2015 2:54 AM

2. I chose Omega Ruby because of the version exclusives. I just prefer most of them to their counterparts.

BlissyMKW November 10th, 2015 3:53 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
I preordered it a month or two in advance, but when I went to get it, they didn't have any copies of the game yet. I preordered it from Wal-Mart, so if that's any indication of how things went. So, I had to wait a bit to actually get the games since I ended up preordering both of them at the same time.

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
While I ended up getting both on the same day, if I had to only choose one, I would've went with Alpha Sapphire, and this was before I knew about the version exclusive post-game mons. The reason is really simple...because Kyogre is a Water type, and I like Water types. That's seriously the only reason :P

I love surfing on Kyogre! I've always thought it was so cool the way it actually looks like a Kyogre when you surf on it :3

Same here, actually :P I got OmegaRuby, but my birthstone is Sapphire. Pure coincidence though :P

Aaaaand here's our question #3!

3. What did you nickname your starter?

Qibli November 10th, 2015 5:09 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?
Nope, Never nickname it.

Laguna November 10th, 2015 5:09 AM

I didn't nickname my starter.

ジュナイパー November 10th, 2015 5:24 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I nicknamed my Treeko "Lily"

GiovanniViridian November 10th, 2015 5:24 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
I haven't gotten them yet because I don't have a 3DS at the moment. However, I'll definitely get them later.

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I would pick OR since I'm used to picking the first title over the second one, like what I did with Red, Gold, Ruby, Firered, Diamond, HeartGold, Black, Black 2.

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I plan to pick a completely different team with my Ruby team and I'll pick Treecko and name it Ghidorah. If in case I'd change my mind and decided to go back with my regular Ruby team, I'll nickname my Torchic as Kiyuna.

Nah November 10th, 2015 5:26 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I didn't nickname it either. Never really been into the nicknaming Pokemon thing much.

KillerTyphlosion November 10th, 2015 5:33 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
I pre-ordered it and got it a day before launch.
2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
When I was little I got ruby for my birthday and I just liked Ruby better because Groudon looked way more awesome to me. So I got OR.
3. What did you nickname your starter?
TreeTail for obvious reasons.

Wicked3DS November 10th, 2015 5:36 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?

Cyprus the Sceptile.

Dreg November 10th, 2015 5:36 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Nope, I got it on christmas. I kept asking people to not spoil the game as I really enjoyed the originals, and when I eventually did get X, it was spoiled that much that it didn't seem as exciting.
2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
My original choice was Pokemon Ruby back in 2003, so I thought I'd follow suit with it.

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I didn't - only one of my pokemon has ever been nicknamed and that was a ditto.

WingsofBliss November 10th, 2015 7:19 AM

3. What did you nickname your favorite starter?

I've never nicknamed any of my Pokemon... I could never come up with anything good, haha.

Caite-chan November 10th, 2015 7:54 AM

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Fire over water and I wanted Primal Groudon. In our group there's at least one of us that will get the opposite of what everyone else gets.

OffRoadSP November 10th, 2015 8:06 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Yes, I had the double pack pre-ordered from Amazon.
That said, since I was still playing X/Y for the last year, I only just started playing them a few weeks ago.

Quote:

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I had a very difficult time deciding which would be my "main" game. I originally played Sapphire as my main game when it came out so I leaned towards that. However, I settled on playing each game equally, catching half of the Pokemon in one game and half in the other. Time will tell if I focus on one more than the other in the end.

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I typically don't nickname my Pokemon.

Balrog~ November 10th, 2015 8:10 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
I bought it on amazon the day it came out, I love in south america so its not cheap buying games here xD

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Well, I was waiting for omega ruby. I love all pokemon, but my favourites are bulbasaur, rhyhorn, and... GROUDON. It is just the coolest pokemon ever, no offense to kyogre fans, but for me kyogre is just a whale while groudon is the cool dinosaur :P. Its mega form is just amazing.
can you guess which one I chose? xD

3. What did you nickname your starter?
My starter was mudkip, and I named him swampy haha, I couldn't find a funny name such as for my greninja (Splinter, like the ninja turtles master)

PlatinumDude November 10th, 2015 8:22 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?: As per my Pokemon series tradition, I never nicknamed my starter.

Caite-chan November 10th, 2015 8:26 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I didn't because I very rarely nickname my Pokemon. I've just been one to never really do it even in the older games.

Hikamaru November 10th, 2015 8:57 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?

I don't really nickname stuff, because I can never come up with a good name. Chose Mudkip by the way.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire November 10th, 2015 9:26 AM

2) I bought Sapphire and Emerald back in Gen III and never got to experience Ruby so I decided to buy Omega Ruby to at least get a sense of all three of them. Plus it has Latios (lately the remakes I've gotten have Latios and Groudon...), and Ruby happens to be my Birthstone.
3) I nicknamed my Treecko Eser Emerald.

Mewtwolover November 10th, 2015 9:44 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Nope, I read some reviews and decided not to buy OR or AS because they're too easy compared to original Ruby and Sapphire. Yes, I know about challenges like Nuzlocke but the problem is that the game helps the player too much in finding right path.

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I would probably choose AS if i ever buy one of them.

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I'd choose Treecko so I'd nickname it Scepy.

Pendraflare November 10th, 2015 10:00 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?

In my main go with Omega Ruby, I chose Mudkip and named it Slippers.

MusicClues November 10th, 2015 11:01 AM

1. Yup, Along with Smash 4 for Wii U.
2. My Friend Got AS so I Got OR
3. I Don't Remember.......Off-hand but I Think it was Flame.

esperance November 10th, 2015 12:08 PM

3. What did you nickname your starter?

I didn't nickname them... :( I'm not usually into nicknaming because then I feel obligated to name all my Pokémon which will just drive me nuts.

Candy November 10th, 2015 1:16 PM

3. What did you nickname your starter?

Scepteelee the Sceptile... well yeah, I wanted to honor my first starter Scepteelee so I went with that nickname. Well, it was my first starter's nickname before I changed it to Palm after I completed the story on Sapphire 'cause I think it's much more fitting of her. I wanted to do the same thing, but eh my OR starter was a guy instead of a gal hahaha.

Lexatom November 10th, 2015 1:53 PM

Q1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
A. Are you kidding!? Of course I did! Although, when X and Y were revealed, I was more hyped for those games rather than these remakes. But still, these remakes made my hype mode go overboard.

Q2. Which game did you prefer over the other?
A. I picked Omega Ruby, and my brother picked Alpha Sapphire. I played the original Ruby in 5th grade when a friend let me borrow it, so I ended up playing that game before any other Hoenn game.

Firox November 10th, 2015 2:00 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
I had pre-ordered both, so on release day I just wen to Game Stop and picked up my two games.

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
To me, no difference. The main Hoenn Pokemon I like are catchable in both games - I first played AS since it was the first game I took out of the bag when I got home and put it inside my 3DS XL

3. What did you nickname your starter?
Both games I choose Mudkip as my starter, both times I nicknamed him Zorro.
Zorro is Spanish for Fox, it's a nickname I use a lot for my Pokemon.

DraconianWing November 10th, 2015 2:02 PM

3. What did you nickname your starter?
Verde (Sceptile). I wasn't very creative in coming up with a nickname for it, but he reminded me of Verde from Katekyo Hitman Reborn, so yeah.

Poké Bean November 10th, 2015 2:39 PM

3. What did you nickname your starter?

I chose Treecko and called him Buddy, I always like to name my starters or partners Buddy :)

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Yes!

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Played Sapphire originally, so I went for the other version

3. What did you nickname your starter?
Groot the treecko.

Otamajakushi November 10th, 2015 4:03 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Oh yes, definitely. I had the dual-pack preordered on Amazon and I went to the midnight release for an Alpha Sapphire. That AS is the one I ended up playing my main game on and it was so awesome!

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
To be honest, I like blue. Also, I played Sapphire originally back in the day so I wanted to have a similar experience here. I've played Ruby and OR though, so I got the best of both worlds. I also kind of like Kyogre better than Groudon.

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I picked Treecko as my starter, again because that's what I picked for Sapphire. I named him "Keroro", who is a character on a show I like. He evolved into a healthy Sceptile many many months ago and we're still going on adventures today! :D

Sydian November 10th, 2015 4:17 PM

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I knew I was going to get both in the end, but I got AlphaSapphire first because I got the original Sapphire before Ruby. So it's not really a preference for the Pokemon, it's just nostalgia. :')

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I named my Torchic "Chictor" after my first Torchic in Sapphire. <3 It's not very creative, I realize, haha. But like I said, it's named after my first one and I was 10 when I first played Sapphire. :P

Adrasteia November 10th, 2015 4:47 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Yes, it was the day befor my birthday so it was impossible to keep away from me :)
2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Me and my sister always get one of each copy and she loves Kyogre so I got Groudon
3. What did you nickname your starter?
Charlie (because I'v been using it since I was a kid for my starters)

CountessGardevoir November 10th, 2015 5:02 PM

1. Did you get OR/AS the day they came out?
Yu-huh, got AS after an unexpected trip to the bank

2. What made you choose one over the other?
I chose AS so I could get Latias

3. What did you name your starter?
I named my Treecko "Legault', after the thief from Fire Emblem 7

Urugamosu November 10th, 2015 6:22 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
I did! Hoenn is my favurite region after Johto, so you already know I was going to get this game on release day.
2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Well, when Ruby and Sapphire came out when I was young, I wanted Sapphire because my favourite colour is blue, but it was out of stock so I got Ruby. Now that AS and OR are out, I was able to get the Blue that I always wanted. :)
3. What did you nickname your starter?
Toast the Mudkip. Toast is best served for breakfast, which is why i chose it.Made it up on the spot.

Zoroark Cutie November 10th, 2015 6:46 PM

2. What was your resason for choosing OR or AS over the other? - I went for Omega Ruby mostly because of Team Magma, which I prefer over Team Aqua a bit, and I also liked the version exclusive Pokemon for Omega Ruby a bit more, mostly when it came to Groudon, Zangoose, and Kabutops.

3. What did you nickname your starter? - I didn't nickname my starter. I'm too lazy to think of a good name for my starters, plus I don't like nicknaming in general.

Starry Windy November 10th, 2015 7:35 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
No, because at the time it was launched, I was not having enough money that I have to wait until the December last year to be finally able to get one.

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
I choose Alpha Sapphire, because Pokémon Sapphire was the first Pokémon game that I ever enjoyed when not borrowing from my cousin's GBC, not to mention that I'm digging into Primal Kyogre and the blue theme of Alpha Sapphire in overall.

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I nicknamed my Treecko as Virileaf, which is based after Viridi from Kid Icarus: Uprising, and because most grass Pokémon has many leaves.

CatAlert November 10th, 2015 8:00 PM

3. I chose a mudkip as my starter. I wasn't really sure what I should name it, so I just chose a random name: Perry, and it stuck.

3. What did you nickname your starter?
I chose Treecko, and I nicknamed him Tiki. Short for butiki. xD

Boured November 10th, 2015 8:03 PM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
No I didn't get Omega Ruby on the day it came out, though I did get it a couple days after the release date.
2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
Ruby was the first Pokémon game I ever beat, so by the order of nostalgia I got Omega Ruby.
3. What did you nickname your starter?
My starter was a Mudkip which I named Slappy 2 since the original Slappy was from Ruby, so I named it that in honor of Slappy.

Fun Size November 10th, 2015 10:14 PM

3. What did you name your starter?
Na not this time. I'm usually not creative with nicknames anyways.

BlissyMKW November 11th, 2015 12:06 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?

I nicknamed mine Swampman. I normally go for the Water starter, and since Swampert is a Water/Ground type, I think of that episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog with the swamp guy who kidnaps Murial and intends to make her his swampwoman, so that's sort of where the idea for the nickname came from.

Sopheria November 11th, 2015 4:54 AM

Time for question #4 ^_^

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?

Boured November 11th, 2015 4:59 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Yes and I got the Pikachu to prove it :3

Nah November 11th, 2015 5:01 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Yup. Figured I'd take a quick look at the Contests and see how it was compared to how they were back in the originals.

.....haven't done a Contest since tho

Hikamaru November 11th, 2015 5:07 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?

Yes I did, so I could see the graphical improvements. Did it with Cosplay Pikachu and won on my first attempt if I remember.

Wicked3DS November 11th, 2015 5:09 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?

I skipped it, I've never been one for competing in contests.

Pendraflare November 11th, 2015 5:42 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?

Only in my Wedlocke. I used my Linoone in a contest when I got there in that run, just for kicks. Other than that, i'm not too much a contest person.

ジュナイパー November 11th, 2015 5:51 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Yes, I didn't really enjoy it though. But I kept the free Pikachu!

Laguna November 11th, 2015 6:08 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?

Yes, I even used the Cosplay Pikachu until I realized I couldn't Thunderstone it.

Judge Mandolore Shepard November 11th, 2015 7:06 AM

1. Did you get Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire the day they came out?
Yes I did pick up Alpha Sapphire the day it came out since I had preordered it

2. What was your reason for choosing OR or AS over the other?
The reason I picked Alpha Sapphire over Omega Ruby was I had originally played Sapphire and wanted to play its remake

3. What did you nickname your starter?
Since the theme of my team happened to be Star Wars Jedi, I gave my Mudkip the nickname Luke

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Nope, I did not do it until after I attempted to first leave Slateport

KetsuekiR November 11th, 2015 7:12 AM

3. What did you nickname your starter?
Treecko was originally named James because my creativity had no limits but then it was changed, once he could mega-evolve, to Smaug and then finally, it came back to James. I mean really, have you even met anyone as creative as me? I'm terrible at names forgive me I tried

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Yes! How could I not? Lisia was... very convincing ;)

Caite-chan November 11th, 2015 7:50 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
I didn't as I don't usually do much other than the main story line.

GiovanniViridian November 11th, 2015 8:04 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
I'll probably just play it once then move on to the main story like what I did for previous Pokemon games.

DraconianWing November 11th, 2015 8:23 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Unfortunately, no. This question actually reminded me that I still need to pick up OR again and check out the new contest system :P

Firox November 11th, 2015 8:43 AM

4. Did you do the Pokemon Contest when you first got to Slateport?
Not at all. I waited after I had finished the Delta Episode to plan out Pokemon for the contest. I know have 5 different Pokemon specifically for contest.
Had to spend months in Amie, collecting berries and blending them to max out their individual contest, and searching for the right moves,
Spoiler:

Eevee, for Cute contest - as if it's overcuteness wasn't enough
Mienfoo, for Cool contest - cool looking fighting weasel
Zorua, for the Clever contest - it's my very clever fox
Umbreon, for the Tough contest - it's my very tough dark fox
Braixen, for the Beautiful contest - it's one of the most beautiful looking fire foxes

MusicClues November 11th, 2015 9:57 AM

4. Yeah, I went! I wanted to see how the Contests Changed.
