General Chat Café
The Sixth Generation Chit-Chat Thread Hello everyone, welcome to the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Chat Café! For anyone who doesn't know, Pokécommunity chit-chat threads are threads where members are free to talk, rant, vent, or discuss anything and everything related to the topic of its corresponding subforum. This is meant to be a place to just kick back and chit-chat with other people who enjoy the games. Just bought the games and you want to let everyone know that a new Hoenn trainer has entered the building? Wanna show off that newly designed Super Secret Base? Halfway through the game and you'd like to share your thoughts/critiques/opinions on the game so far? Or maybe you just want to pop in and tell us how much you loved the Delta Episode? As long as your post relates to OR/AS, isn't spam/non-sensical, and otherwise follows the PokéCommunity global rules, you're free to post it here and chat with other members about it! It's all welcome here and we're looking forward to chatting with you about all your 3D Hoenn escapades :) Casual chit-chat though this is, there are a few guidelines that must be laid out to ensure that this is fun for everyone:
|
Shall we talk about our favorite place in ORAS? (:
|
Well sure, I don't see why not n_n I really like Pacifidlog Town. I love the music, and thinking of Pacifidlog Town always conjures up thoughts of a nice ocean breeze. Not to mention it has the one old man who makes that awesome Lord of the Rings reference:

I know this may be boring to most people, but I actually love the watery areas in the game. Especially with how pretty the underwater areas are now, having Pokemon swimming in the overworld and it's just so fun to explore.

I wish there was something we can do with Groudon other than battling and contests, diving with Kyogre is sorta an exclusive thing for Alpha Sapphire players, I 'spose. Unless the Omega Ruby players received a Kyogre through various means. XD |
That was most likely why I played Alpha Sapphire as my main remake. Kyogre grew so much on me that I loved it so much better than Groudon, especially now that Kyogre gets a unique overworld model when using Surf and Dive.
Omega Ruby players don't get that with Groudon, only riding on it in that one scene leading up to the encounter with its Primal form. But with Kyogre you can ride on it underwater even after you catch it. |
Quote:
But yeah, it's rather sad when you think about it. The Eon siblings and Kyogre can be ridden, Groudon is kinda left out when it come to interacting. Perhaps P-Groudon's batting capability, in a sense, is a way to compensate? While not a battler myself, I heard that P-Groudon's far superior over P-Kyogre when it comes to battle. Though it's a bit ironic that P-Groudon's one and only weakness is Ground-type. :P |
Quote:
But yea, I loved the new overworld surfing models. Especially Sharpedo, which felt like GameFreak's answer to the somewhat-common complaint that "we have a fast way to travel on land, but not on water". Though I was somewhat surprised to see that Lapras didn't get one in OR/AS, even though it did in X&Y ~_~ |
Quote:
I was actually wondering the lack of Lapras surf sprite. I don't think a Lapras surf sprite's gonna take a lot of space... So boys and girls, do you think we've received enough amount of Mega Evolutions in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire? I think not, just look at how lacking we are in the Grass department. We only have one Grass Mega in ORAS and that Pokemon happens to be a starter too! Unsurprisingly the Water-type has three Megas, including M-Swampert of course. Perhaps that's the true meaning of too much water. Lmao |
I think we got enough Megas in these games. I mean granted, there's a few I was expecting that I wish we had gotten, like Mega Milotic and Mega Flygon. But there were also some unexpected ones, like Mega Audino, Mega Pidgeot, and Mega Beedrill. So it sorta balanced out, in that way.
I didn't even realize there weren't that many Grass-type Megas! I guess since I'm not a huge fan of Grass-types I never really paid a whole lot of attention, but yea, I do hope maybe we'll get some more Grass Megas in the future. |
Does anyone feel weird that in ORAS storyline, they have romances now?
Its funny when you play a boy, then may is all up in your grill but if you play as girl, brandon is just like lol friendzone :v |
Quote:
I loved the Walmer sprite! :D If I knew that I couldn't see it after it evolved in Wailord, I would never have evolved it! D: I think we got some nice Mega, but where is mega flygon? T_T |
Quote:
Quote:
As for me, I tried to look it in a platonic way since I didn't hear the exact ILY words. :P Quote:
According to Masuda, they were actually trying to create a Mega Flygon during the XY development, but the design didn't come out nicely so they had to cross it out. Let's hope we'll be seeing a Mega Flygon in 'Z version' or Gen 7! |
Quote:
|
I did as well. Very evident in the Delta episode as well. A pity imo because I don't actually like the rival. Designs are alright, but the personality (or lack thereof) I've had issue with since RSE. So hence the game shipping them with me really doesn't make me like them any more. =/ Ah well...
|
Quote:
May and Brendan didn't have much development, but Wally does. ): Silver, Bianca and Cheren are the most developed rivals so far. Oh and when I mention the Gen V rivals, I am not including and basing their presence in B2W2. |
Ugh the romances were the only part of the extended story that I couldn't stand. Brandon felt like a real wimp to me and it was a chore having to put up with him, like post-Elite Four and he challenges you to a battle and it felt very underwhelming because his team wasn't all that impressive and his dialog wasn't very inspiring either.
|
Quote:
I mean, come on! Look online, there is sooo many good mega-flygon! |
I do sometimes love the expressions Brendan and May pull off, but to me I was mainly cracking up at Brendan because I'm female and therefore played as May.

I wish they changed the Battle Maison Pokemon sets because they got new/tutoring moves/new egg moves. We're still fighting the same sets from XY as if they were never taught tutoring moves.
|
Quote:
|
If you haven't noticed, Platinum/HG/SS Battle Tower had an entirely different AND better sets than Diamond/Pearl's Battle Tower. Hopefully GF won't get lazy with their newest game if there is one. Also, it shouldn't even mess with the compatibility because these sets can be edited without messing the game itself.
|
Quote:
I'm not sure about them expanding/improving the Battle Maison. Have you read the interview about the lack of Battle Frontier in ORAS? (: |
Hmm I don't know I mean, OR/AS and X&Y are just barely compatible, since you can't bring the OR/AS Mega Stones into a battle with an X&Y player. If I had to guess, it's probably just something they overlooked haha.
Quote:
|
Total BS that interview was... and the Maison had copies of the sets from the Battle Subway, which was a lazy thing to do. Also, they don't need to expand the Maison, just change the movesets around to have tutoring moves. Imagine fighting Gunk Shot Greninja in the Maison or Dazzling Gleam Delphox or a Drain Punch Chesnaught.
|
They could have had expand the Inverse Battle as a battle facility, instead of a tiny shop in Mauville. While not the best, it had potential...
|
Quote:
In ORAS, it isn't as much of an issue because the Pokemon this time are much weaker and lower-leveled. |
Quote:
|
I often relied on False Swipe just so I could hit the 7 super-effective hits requirement to get the evolution stones and he still catches me with surprise attacks that I'm weak to under his mechanics. 7 is just a ridiculous amount of super-effective hits to land because he'll more likely land them on you than you'd land on him.
|

Quote:
Speaking of SE damage, Freeze-Dry is still SE against Water types in Inverse... so you can knock an Empoleon off his feet with that move. |
Quote:
It's time for my Roserade to shine, she really hits hard. (: https://38.media.tumblr.com/9742fae71512a45bab1d835f6aa0f846/tumblr_inline_nt30oaAAGm1s6n71n_500.gif Blaziken and Mawile are able to ascend to Uber, why not my Roserade!? |
Quote:
And you know, Grass is not only beast in Inverse. Bug is as well, having seven type advantages, but Normal is the real king because it is seriously broken. Normal can literally hit everything unresisted. |
I still have yet to try Inverse Battles in ORAS. I remember always losing to Inver in X&Y--in fact, I'm not even sure if I ever beat him. I guess Inverse battles are something they could have expanded on in ORAS, but I'm not sure what the best way would have been to go about it. They could have made some gym battles inverse battles, like Sun said, but eh...that'd kill the whole nostalgia factor of the remakes, so not too sure that would be the best route to take haha. Maybe if they had integrated it into gym leader rematches somehow? That would have been pretty neat.
|
Good old Inver. I also lost to him the first time I fought him because I was really not prepared for that battle.
|
One time I fought Inver in XY... I actually made his Gourgeist grovel at my Tyrantrum's feet. Kept Flinch-haxing with Stomp although the damage from the Rocky Helmet was my only tick.
|
So funny thing: I just realized as I was playing yesterday that when soaring, you can hold B to move faster. I knew you could press B to do that thrusty move, but I never realized you could hold it to fly faster xD After all this time I've been playing I still can't believe I never knew about that haha
|
Quote:
Gosh I wish I'd known about this sooner. |
I knew about the speeding up. Do it literally all the time when I'm soaring on Latias.
|
Quote:
I always just spammed B and did the thrusting move over and over again. This changes everything :) Also, I'm just finding out Murkrow is really rare to encounter while soaring. I thought I remembered running into them pretty commonly in the past, and yet the other day I spent like 20 minutes straight trying to find one, with no success :c |
I actually had more luck encountering Murkrow. The real rare one to me was Braviary, but most common... definitely Taillow.

But a friend is luckier, he has captured over 30 shinies (not counting his chain fish shinies) in his Gen V and Gen VI games. He wasn't even purposely hunting or Masuda hatching. Freaky. |
Quote:
Anyways, I'm watching Tealgamemaster's Alpha Sapphire Let's Play and he has this hilarious "7.8 Too Much Water" alert popping up a lot, complete with a picture of a bottle of water nonetheless! I have been watching a lot of his videos lately, especially given a good chunk of games I played were in his Let's Play catalogue. |
On the topics of Shiny Pokemon, I encountered my first wild Shiny in years today during my Omega Ruby Wonderlocke challenge. I had just beaten the twins' gym, and was on my way to Groudon's underwater cavern, when I encountered a shiny Tentacool.
Also, it's Hoenn, there can never be enough water :P . Edit: To advance the conversation, I ask this; what was the first wild shiny you've encountered in ORAS *if applicable*? |
My only shiny in ORAS is a Zigzagoon... kinda unlucky when you compare that to my collection in X.
|
No shinies for me in ORAS so far, not like I've been hunting for them though. I've heard that the chance of finding shinies in ORAS (and perhaps XY) has been increased, is this true?
|
Quote:
We also have a few new chaining methods, like chain fishing and DexNav chaining, but there's not a whole lot of hard data on what the increased odds are from those methods. DexNav might just have a higher chance for a shiny encounter without even requiring any chaining at all, from what I've read. (source) |
Sup!!!!!!!!!!! So I just beat the delta episode and have a few thoughts (feel free to express your thoughts to).
-Does anyone feel bad for beating wally before the E4? I mean his "oh its okay I will try better" made me feel sad for him -The E4 wasnt bad but I feel like steven was only hard because of damn sturdy and only one of his fossil pokemon and mega metagross, do u guys feel the same? -I played as brandon so i was suprised when may asked me to battle after the credits, i felt the designers made her pokes underlevel so you wouldnt loose -Was Zania (the dragon chick in the delta episode) suppose to be hard or is mega rayquaza just OP as eff?? Okay her mega salmence somehow one shotted me with a crit because i used dragon ascent instead of dragon pulse but i reverted back to when i was suppose to catch ray and then battled her again and just one shotted all her pokes -I love that prof birch gives you more starters, i only got jhoto and unova since i havent beat E4 yet, but that machop chasing him killed me :v |
Quote:
You know, I did feel a little bad for Wally, but he doesn't take it too hard and I like his attitude in response to losing. He just takes it as motivation to work even harder, and he doesn't give up his dream of one day defeating you. On the other hand...I felt sorry for Brendan ;-; He seems genuinely disappointed that you've gotten so much stronger than him so quickly. Although I like him a lot better in this game than in RSE, since in those games he sorta just...stops being relevant after your final battle with him. In OR/AS, it's nice to see that he learns to use Mega Evolution and we even get to battle alongside him in the Battle Maison (which I still haven't done yet, maybe I'll give that a try some time). I didn't find Zinnia too hard, but it's been a while since I actually did the battle so I don't remember if I one-shotted everything. But I'm pretty sure Mega Rayquaza being so OP has a lot to do with it haha. And yea! It's pretty awesome the way this game has all the remaining starters from other regions. And it's pretty hilarious how there's something different chasing him each time--just wait until you get the Sinnoh starters from him, that's the most hilarious one out of all of them xD |
I really liked how you were able to get other starters in the postgame, because it reunited me with my beloved Oshawott.
|
Quote:
Wally is a good kid, he knew that you were giving it your all *mostly because he DID tell you not to hold back*. His response, while sad, was also good. Wally is determined to beat you, so he may have lost the battle, but the war still rages on. In a way, you are Wally's pillar to strive for. Your rival is actually somewhat relevant in this game, which is great. In R/S/E, the Rival stopped being relevant after you encounter them in Lilycove City, you couldn't even see their Starter's final evolution. Besides, your Rival didn't strive to be the best Trainer in Hoenn *yes, even Brenden*, your Rival set out on the journey, not only for the experience, but also to help their Father *Birch* complete his research. Zinnia was actually a pushover for me. Even in previous battles without Mega Rayquaza, I almost never had issues with her. To her credit, however, I had a Sylveon that was pushing Level 60... The fact that Birch gave you the other region starters was really cool. However, it kind of disappointed me that they were essentially box fillers. I've never really enjoyed the idea of obtaining the other Starters in the end-game. I hardly ever train them, and they just get put in the box. I suppose it's helpful for a potential future Nuzlocke, if I decide I want one of them as my Starter to mix things up. At the same time, however, I really wish they would do the giveaway during the main story-line, like they did in Yellow. Don't get me wrong, I love being able to get those Starters instead of having to extract them from my older games, I just wish they were given to you at a more appropriate time. Another alternative would be to give these Starters their Hidden Abilities, thus making them slightly more relevant, and make the player more willing to train them. Though, I'd always train the Oshawott. |

Well, day 3 of owning Pokemon OR. Good game but it seems to end so quickly. Already I am trying to get the 7th gym badge. It's a good game and the Amie is an amazing addition and there is plenty to do in this generation but I also have some nitpicks like the overuse of Plusle cameos and how annoying it is to catch an Eevee. So far it's pretty solid.
|
Quote:
|
Heh. I didn't know specific Pokemon are only caught with the dexNav. In speaking of Plusle is that how you also find Minun's good (and apprently really famous) friend in this version or do I just have to keep looking where I found my Minun? I encountered plenty of Minun and own one as well but no Plusle which is odd because I see a lot of trainer NPCS with Plusles. I just wanna try them out in a double battle. I always caught Minuns but never their red counterparts.
|
Quote:
|
Quote:
But yeah... My secret hatred for that red one aside, what did you think of Amie? |
Pokemon Amie was great, it was a feature I heavily abused a lot in XY. Not just for its benefits from high affection, but because I wanted to use Sylveon on my team as well.
|
I've mentioned this before but it does a really good job of introducing first time newcomers to the sixth generation of bonding with Pokemon. Last time they were nothing but slaves to flighting. They still are but we can finally take them out of constant fighting for a moment and play with them. I wish a separate expanded version of Amie was available for the 3DS and Wii U and maybe even phones free or not (Would be too much if it was more than 10 dollars to me.). Amie is an amazing idea and should be it's own thing some day. It's better than that Pokemon farm game for the Wii whatever it was called where it tried to develop an idea of bonding your Pokemon from your DS to the Wii.

Just got the sinnoh starters from birch..................................OMG xD!!!
And now I don't know what to do in ORAS anymore :v |
(If this post isn't where it belongs, I authorize the mods to move it. I couldn't find anywhere better for it.)
Not gonna wait for Pokemon.com to respond to me. Haven't done online competitions before, and I just registered for the Kanto Classic. I saw somewhere in the rules that "linking Poke'mon with a Digital Player ID" locks the Battle Box so that Poke'mon can't be modified between battles. What does that mean? At what point is the lock applied? I'm hesitant to get my Digital Player ID because I still need to train some mons. |

Urrrgh...so, I haven't played ORAS in 3 weeks, ever since I left my 3DS on the bus ~_~ I still have my 2DS, but losing my original 3DS just drained me of all my energy to play any 3DS games. I think I'm getting back into the mood to play ORAS though, I still need to make some progress on my LiveDex project :) I'm also thinking of decking out my secret base, it's been so long since I've done anything with it haha
|
Quote:
|
That just reminded me that I don't even have a secret base. I'm pretty sure I just walked into mine and walked back out to never return. I should actually figure out what you can do with them, because they actually sound pretty cool and I've done everything else in ORAS besides getting a Live Dex.

Substitute Hiding behind a Substitute.
Hey; i'm new n' stuff and i gotta vent.
I've been checking up on Mirage Islands each and every day for two weeks and i gotta vent. Where's the sub island!?!? Is it a rare island? I've been fixing teams as I've recently got into competitive breeding but have enough morals not the abuse minimize for my drain tanks/Toxistalls. I just feel like some Poke-antichrist is ripping me a new one every time I drop onto a damn Audino Island, seriously the amount of times i've dropped and heard that little chubby bunny chime up is unholy. Anyways hi love u all god bless pray for me, happy breeding <3 |
You mean you're looking for the mirage island with the Substitute TM on it? I feel your pain, I've been trying to find the mirage spot with Magby on it for ages now, but it never seems to appear. It's really tough to get the one you want when there's so many of them--there's about 32 random ones, I believe, so you have a 1 in 32 chance of the one you're looking for appearing on any given day ;c
|
Thank you, i could trade you a magby if you'd like, not great IV's but just breed it out and you should be fine, what's you friend code?
|
Quote:
|
That's an incredible feat!
Keep it up, i believe in choo'!! |

I'm pretty sure I found the Substitute TM, but I mostly wanted to catch all the available Pokemon on the Mirage Spots and also picking up some TMs.

I'm gonna throw a little background info about me just to enhance the noobish description of le me. I was first introduced into the pokemon games by pokemon yellow at age 8, then quickly followed by fire red and emerald. I grew up in a rather poor family so those were the only games I had and were accustomed to. A few days ago I was first introduced into the DS franchise, more importantly a 3DS. It was given to me as well as Alpha Sapphire. I was a bit skeptical being a newer generation as I do not quite find interest in the newer ones however being a remake of sapphire, which was remade into the emerald I was familiar with, was quite nostalgic. 22 hours later here we are. I've beaten the Elite Four, and completed the Delta Episode. I will admit I made a rather noobish decision to use my masterball on Deoxys. I was scared to fight him again because I had to soft reset after I 1-hit-kod him. Anyways the point of this post was to ask the people of pokecommunity the chances of catching a legendary with your first pokeball thrown. Le me was soaring around and found a nameless cavern. Le me being a noob had no idea what it was, so le me stopped by and stuck my hand through the hole. Le me was unaware that Azelf was a legendary until just recently and used my lvl 62 Flygon and Crunch which I didn't think would do much damage nearly killed him. Le me threw an ultraball and caught him. Sorry for the ridiculous rant, but what are the odds? I watched three youtubers take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes trying to capture it.

Pokemon OR vs AS
I was wondering if anyone wants to be my rival in Pokemon OR. I am restarting AS and want to have more of a challenge. We can set up the rules before we start. I'm in the eastern us.
my Skype is: vincent.rapp1 my email is: [email protected] |
Hey all I'm pretty new to the forums here but I've been playing pokemon since I was like 5 hahaha. I first played blue and then played yellow. Then I moved on to play gold/silver and crystal and then got ruby and sapphire (the first gen that I got both games of, the previous games I borrowed from friends to play) and got even more hooked. I don't know what it was specifically about ruby and sapphire (with sapphire being my favorite, even though I love fire pokemon I just loved Kyogre more) but it is always my favorite. I even got emerald once it came out. After that I got only one from every game because of economic issues and after black 2 I didn't have the money to get a 3ds to play xy. But finally this year I had some extra money as a gift and the 2ds is available at a good price and I grabbed a 2ds and a used alpha sapphire at a good price too. I was ECSTATIC that they made this wonderful remake. It is amazing. A month or so later I also got x and played through it twice already. ^_^ I wish that oras still had the trainer customization, because that's all it really lost in comparison to xy. The dexnav is a feature I hope they keep in sun and moon too. ^_^ So yeah, I've been trying to build up my pokedex now in alpha sapphire and can't wait to see what they do with sun and moon. After my long hiatus of not playing pokemon, I got in and I am once more OBSESSED.

Hi everyone. Could someone please tell me if we get a mega stone for groudon and kyogre in pokemon Omega Ruby? If i get them, will my primal groudon and kyogre will evolve into mega primal groudon or kyogre? I tried to google it, but was disappointed everywhere. Is there any way to do so?
