11. How did I find Deoxys? Difficult? Not at all even though it was my first game. Slightly annoying? Yes, yes it was.

It wasn't too difficult to fight him, but trying to catch him was another story. I just fainted him instead in the end, so now he is hiding out somewhere and I am too lazy to go back for him...

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?
Not at all, my team was almost at their 100's by that time.
Majority of my original team was between level 92 and 95.
Deoxys was easy.

Velatus (Aggron) - Mihawk (Blaziken) - Terrestris (Espeon) - Dessrosa (Roserade) - Gamzee (Gliscor) - Black*Star (Weavile)
Had a lot of fun fighting the E4 with this squad!

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?
No. I was looking forward to catching Deoxys, but my Gliscor OHKO'd it.... :'-[
The music was great though! Though you could say it got me excited for nothing, haha.

Zoroark Cutie November 18th, 2015 2:42 PM

10. What was your championship team? - My team was Blaziken, Lanturn, Aggron, Absol, Groudon, and Machoke.

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult? - Because I saved the Master Ball for this encounter, I didn't find it difficult.

Qibli November 18th, 2015 3:22 PM

Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?
I still have my masterball, so it be a breeze

Candy November 18th, 2015 4:24 PM

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?

Difficult? What're you talking about? I just one-shot it with Mega-Ray so I can have a shot at soft resetting it.

Speaking of Deoxys... I haven't caught it lol.

Sopheria November 18th, 2015 4:30 PM

The Deoxys encounter was easily the most difficult Legendary catch I've ever experienced. Level 80, and it has recover? Recover always makes things 10x more difficult, and on top of it all, being level 80 put it way ahead of my team. I ended up just KOing it the first time, and had to go back a second time to capture it (this time I came prepared, of course).

DraconianWing November 18th, 2015 4:40 PM

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?

Surprisingly, no. I decided not to use my Master Ball for the encounter, but I got lucky enough to capture it within the third Ultra Ball; Hold Back from the event Metagross really helped a lot!

Sopheria November 18th, 2015 4:55 PM

You guys did the smart thing, saving your Pokeballs. I had already used mine on Groudon--not even out of necessity, just laziness -_- I probably wouldn't have if I had known Deoxys would be so tough to catch @[email protected]

Not really. But capturing him with its health at the red was what made the encounter difficult. :P

Wicked3DS November 18th, 2015 7:48 PM

10. What was your championship team?

Had to go back to retrieve it :P Camerupt, Tentacruel, Swellow, Mightyena, Gallade, Sceptile

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?

I killed it with Dragon Ascent. I need to go beat the Elite Four again so I can try to catch it.

Nas160 November 18th, 2015 8:52 PM

7. What was the first Pokemon you Mega Evolved in the game?
Other than my gorgeous Latias, I think it was an Absol. I hadn't used it much at all during the game, nor did I since then, I think I just wanted to see the Mega form in action.

8. Did you catch any Pokemon from the Safari Zone in your first playthrough?
Probably a Rhyhorn or something, I don't remember.

9. Did you keep Groudon/Kyogre on your team after you caught it?
(Kyogre)

Yes. Oh, hell yes. I was so into the intensity and epicness of the events of the story leading up to it, as well as the cutscene prior to the battle and the music heard during it. It was a tense battle, but catching it was no problem. I've had this thing for a while where I use my Master Ball to catch the mascot legendary- always. The only times I had to soft reset was when I accidentally killed it with my Leafeon. I felt the need to weaken it a bit so it wouldn't be a short, boring battle and it could be, in the game world, seen as the legendary Pokémon challenging me and "testing my skills" to see if I was worthy enough of controlling the primordial beast. That's how I always feel when starting a battle with a legendary- they're testing you to see if you are capable enough of harnessing such legendary power.

But yes, I kept it all the way to the Elite Four. Even though there wasn't much in between catching it and that moment.

10. What was your championship team?
6 of the Pokémon that meant the most to me on that wonderful journey.

Leafy (Leafeon) - Around when I started playing this game in January, Leafeon had become my favorite Pokémon, and I had this idea to play through the game with a Leafeon by my side. My friend gave me an Eevee egg, and ever since it hatched, Leafy was always on my party, growing, battling, and learning, all the way to the Elite Four. I gave it lots of love in Amie, and it made me happy to see the various special phrases seen in battle resulting from high Affection. All the way through the game, he was always the highest level Pokémon, and helped me in a lot of the most important battles in the game. My emotional attachment to Leafy really showed me that my love of Pokémon has not changed much than when I first started playing 10 years ago. :)
Latias - When I reached the moment in AS where you defend and befriend Latias, my heart had melted and she had been quickly on the rise to my #1 favorite Pokémon. <3 Ever since she joined my team, I had her in my party at every single moment up to the Pokémon League. Like Leafy, she too contributed to a lot of major battles.
Blazer (Blaziken) - Named after my old Emerald Blaziken of the same name.
Flygon
Cobalt (Mightyena) - My other options were Sharky (Sharpedo), Magneto (Magneton), and Ninjask, all three of which were among my strongest, most-used Pokémon in the playthrough. Cobalt, not quite as much, but I think I chose him for the Pokémon League because I wanted him to gain more experience. Regardless, he was with me for the most important battles, and that's what counts. :)
Kyogre - The Primal Kyogre I caught earlier in the game. Astounding amounts of power due to his Primal Evolution, but I didn't want the E4 to be a boring breeze so I used him occasionally.

To be perfectly honest, the closest I got to losing was Steven's Metagross, his last Pokémon. That damn thing made all of my teammates faint, I kept on using revives to go back and forth between reviving two different Pokémon, Leafy and Kyogre. I sort of have a paranoia/urge to complete the big parts of these games with a perfect scenario in my head, so I really wanted Leafy to deliver the final blow. I realized it'd just be an endless cycle, and I would have to start over again, after coming this far so successfully. Alas, I gave in, prevented him from suffering any longer, and used Kyogre initiate the last attack against Metagross. Sometimes in life, you just have to accept that not everything will turn out exactly the way you want it. And in games, it's kind of silly to be upset over such a thing. Regardless of the outcome, that Kyogre will always be one of my best pals, and that moment, battling with and defeating the Champion for the first time in a remake of my first generation of Pokémon, was one of the most memorable battles I will ever have.

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?

Eh, I think I just did it once. I think I accidentally made it faint, but I didn't bother soft resetting because A) I didn't want to go through the battle with Rayquaza and Zinnia again, B) I already had an event Deoxys from Gen V that I'd transferred over. Maybe one day I'll go back to Sky Pillar for that Deoxys, but I do not see much point in doing it.

I love this! The whole cutscene and battle with Kyogre/Groudon is amazing. I don't blame you for wanting to take that epicness with you for the rest of the journey :)

Hey, you can never have too many ^^ And yea, I didn't bother resetting either, for the same reason--you'd have to fight Zinnia and encounter Rayquaza again, and I had a hard enough time catching Rayquaza as it is xD (even though I totally shouldn't have, since they intentionally make it easy to catch. Bad luck, I supppose ;; )

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?
I was running out of Pokeballs because I thought I could catch it. Wasted Effort lol XD. But I did, it wasn't really difficult. I was with Rayquaza :P

Tentacruel, my mistake XD. I could have imagined it! XD

KetsuekiR November 19th, 2015 3:00 AM

11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?
Difficult to catch. Deoxys kept dying and it was quite annoying to try and catch it without killing it with my Gardevoir, let alone Mega freaking Rayquaza.

jbernardocard November 19th, 2015 3:15 AM

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

Nah, bought AS two or three days after Christmas. I stopped playing when DPPt came out so i didn't even have a 3DS. Bought a 2DS+AS bundle.


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

I always loved kyogre and back in 2004 or 2005 i bought pokemon emerald. So this time there is no emerald, so i bought AS. I also liked the blue 2DS better so it was also part of the decision.


3. What did you nickname your starter?

I don´t think i have ever nicknamed a starter to be honest ahahah I don't know, i just like their names, don't find it very necessary to nickname my pokemons.


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

Yeah. I don't remember if i did it as soon as i got to Slateport or if i came back later.


5. Which bike did you choose when you first got to Mauville?

Acro bike! I always loved that bike. I find it fun to just bike around doing wheelies and bunny hops
6. Where did you establish your first ever Secret Base?

Can't remember ahahaha


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

Maybe Swampert? I don't know, can't remember


8. Did you catch any Pokemon from the Safari Zone in your first playthrough?

Nah, i pretty much decided my team before i even bought the game


9. Did you keep Groudon/Kyogre on your team after you caught it?

Yeah i also EV trained kyogre as soon as i caught him. Didn't stay for long tho, i don't like to play the storyline with legends


10. What was your championship team?

Swampert, Lucario, Latias, Flygon, Kyogre and Swellow. Pretty much my favorite pokemons


11. Did you find the Deoxys encounter to be difficult?

I remember it wasn't very easy, but didn't make nightmares too.

Here we go, question #12! It's almost the big day yay <3

Which of the Mirage Spot Legendary Pokemon did you go for first?

Qibli November 19th, 2015 4:49 AM

Which of the Mirage Spot Legendary Pokemon did you go for first?
I'm trying to aim to get Palkia, but I accidentally KO'ed Uxie. So I decide to catch the musketters (exclude exclusive ones)

Aww, it always stinks when that happens :c Say, do you get a second chance at catching them if you KO them? (I've been wondering about that actually)

I went for Azelf first, but that was only because it was the first one that I encountered haha. The next one I went for, after I figured out how the Mirage Spots work, was Reshiram, because I love the Unova legendaries ^^

12. Which of the Mirage Spot Legendary Pokemon did you go for first?

Uhhhhhhhhh...

Ok I need to play more of OR's postgame. :X

Nah November 19th, 2015 5:52 AM

12. Which of the Mirage Spot Legendary Pokemon did you go for first?
I think it was one of the Musketeers or the Lake Trio. I don't really remember what exactly I caught first.

Hikamaru November 19th, 2015 6:15 AM

12. Which of the Mirage Spot Legendary Pokemon did you go for first?

I think it was Cresselia, because I wanted to try and get that one out of the way so I wouldn't have to keep waiting for Crescent Isle. Ended up only taking six balls before it was successfully caught.
