POKEMON ORAS PLAYTHROUGH
ΩRαS PLAY-THROUGH CURRENT PROGRESS: DYNAMO BADGE (WATSON) DEADLINE: JULY 1st Hello and welcome to the official thread for our un-official play-through of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. I, along with several other members of our humble community, will be playing through these games from start to finish, battling against each other after every gym along the way! We've already started, but we’re currently accepting new applicants. If this sounds like something you’d like to try, check out the rules below and maybe sign-up! CURRENT PLAYERS Here is a list of players currently participating in this play-through: AVAILABLE FOR BATTLE / UNAVAILABLE FOR BATTLE Spoiler:
RULES We’ve come up with a set of rules to follow as a group, just to balance everything and keep things fair. Please read before signing up for the play-through. Spoiler:
This is a relatively lenient and straight-forward set of rules, and we’re not gonna kick you out if you accidentally break one or two. But if you really can’t follow them and choose to purposefully and repeatedly go against them, you’re gonna get booted because no one’s gonna wanna play with ya… pretty simple.

Edit:
IGN: Reznick FC: 4270-4981-7313 Pokemon: -Treecko (Beezley) -Ralts (Ronny) -Wingull (Guliver) I think I'm cementing these pokemon as my three main battling pokemon for now. I like their type spreading and at the moment they work together pretty well. There's no unique features to them nor am I attempting to EV train them at the moment. I just got to Rustboro where the first gym is (I guess I really did overestimate how much time I would need to progress :P), I'm not quite ready to take it on but I might challenge the first gym either late tonight or tomorrow. |
IGN: David
FC: 0877-1218-2190 Pokemon: Turtwig (Wiggy), Zigzagoon (Bandita), Beautifly (Cabbage) |
IGN: danica
FC: 0173-1343-6035 Pokemon: -torchic (beatrice) - - |
Info is already on the list but I figured I might as well post it :p
IGN: Devon FC: 5387 1776 4730 Starting Pokemon: Torchic Also just caught a Lotad (Deez Nuts) so she's gonna go in my party. |
EDIT
IGN: GreenLegend FC: 5043 3200 0385 Starting Pokemon: Torchic (BBQChicken) Also just caught a Taillow (Ruffles) and she'll be heading straight into my party! Just caught my 3rd pokemon, Shroomish (Shiitake) |
IGN: BlackTalon
FC: 3196 5604 7930 Starting Pokemon: Treecko (Epsilon) I started with Mudkip in my previous walkthrough and fire types bore me :/ |
Quick question, are we allowed to catch pokemon to use in the campaign but not use in the weekly battle?
|
Quote:
Also, quick question: how would everyone feel about changing the Pokemon lock to after every badge? So for example, you could catch an entire new team of Pokemon after every badge. Maybe make the max amount of Pokemon three? |
Yo guys, whats up!? I've got my first gym badge and I'm ready to battle anyone if they want! Just let me know :)
|
Quote:
I've caught a ton of pokemonm but even in the game I'm only keeping my team of three since they are kind of the only three pokemon that work in my team at the moment. I do like the idea of being allowed to swap our teams after each badge if we want. I have finished acquiring the first gym badge this morning, so I'm ready to fight anybody who is also ready. My pokemon are all level 17 currently. I was going to grind them to 20 and then stop, as per the rules. |
Alrighty, I switched up the rules a little. Changed the 3 Pokemon before the 4th badge thing to:
"you may only have three Pokemon in your party. Before we begin each section (after obtaining a badge and battling), players will have the opportunity to switch out Pokemon in their party for different Pokemon. You may choose any Pokemon so long as it/they fall(s) within the restrictions, but you may only do this once per section, and only at the beginning." Sound good for everyone? Honestly if something is bugging you let us know! We all wanna have a good time. |
That does sound good, but surely we still need to have a time when its 6 Pokemon in the party!
Also I'll battle anyone who wants to after I sleep.. Considering it's 3am and I haven't had any shut eye yet lol, talk later! |

First thread: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=370855 In this thread, Jim had established this rule, "...you may only use 3 Pokemon in your "battle" party until the 4th badge, at which time you may capture up to 3 more Pokemon for your party." |

I just reread all of the posts in the other thread and the closest answer I could find to what you were asking was: "...challenges are fought in single battle format." I'm not sure if that answers the question(I'm super new to playing this game if you haven't seen previously), but if not you should just ask Jim himself. If my opinion helps towards setting the rule, I would prefer to play with my entire 6 pokemon team (not just 3 out of the 6) by the time we get to badge four, but until then we should only play with 3. |
I agree. Was just making sure that was the case.
|
Hey guys!
I updated my original post with my first team but not sure if I need to grind? Does the wifi battling system auto-level our 'mons to 50? |
Quote:
|
hey everyone! i'm ready to battle and i'll be available for the next three hours or so ^^
also, i caught a taillow named audrey last night! |
I caught a Lotad named Delta that I would like to add to my party :)
|
So I'll be available to be battled tomorrow from 6pm-11pm Pacific. :)
|
Hey guys sorry about the confusion, I'm totally getting ahead of myself and screwing things up lol. Let's stick with 6 Pokemon after the 4th badge, because that seems to be what we all want :) I added everyone's Pokemon to the list, if I forgot something let me know!
|
Quote:
And I'm gonna add an "available/unavailable" section to the list of players so it's easier to see who's ready to go! EDIT: Nvm GreenLegend I saw your other post! Sorry I missed it. If it's not too much trouble, from now on, can we just make a new post whenever we catch a Pokemon to add to our party? I'm subscribed to the thread so I'll get a notification, and I tend to miss it when it's just edited in. Thanks guys! I promise I'll be good to battle by tomorrow, a lot going on irl but always time for Pokemanz y'all. |
hey guys! i actually replaced my two current pokemon with millie the ralts and quinn the shroomish (and i also added sedona the zubat!)
i'm also still available to battle all of tonight and tomorrow! |
I'm a bit concerned about our level caps for the rest of the game :/ if they stay as they are then the rest of the game will be a cakewalk after we grind to level 40 after the third gym. It's an awful lot of grinding and makes the actual playthrough less fun.
Can I suggest the following: Stone badge: 15 Knuckle badge: 20 Dynamo badge: 25. Etc in 5 level increments This leaves us at level 50 for Wallace and his team is max level 46 or something like that. I know people are already ahead of the first gym now (myself included although I got the first badge with a level 15 and 2 level 10s) but thought it would be an easy way to stop an incredible amount of grinding for the rest of the playthrough :/ . What do you guys think? |
Quote:
I can understand if maybe it might bother a few people if it is grinding for them... so I guess I wouldn't care if it was changed, but I feel fine with how it is now. |
I believe we should change the level cap to be relatively close to the gym leaders strongest pokemon (in increments of 5.
Rustboro Gym: level 15 Dewford Gym: level 20 Mauville Gym: level 25 Lavaridge Gym: level 30 Petalburg Gym: level 35 Fortree Gym: level 40 Mossdeep Gym: Level 45 Sootopolis Gym: Level 50 Then one final battle after beating the Pokemon league: Level 60-65 This basically agrees with LivingArrow but I just laid out all the caps. Although with our current rules of a level 20 cap after Rustboro, we could increase the caps by 5 so we can still use our pokemon during the next step. Rustboro Gym: level 20 Dewford Gym: level 25 Mauville Gym: level 30 Lavaridge Gym: level 35 Petalburg Gym: level 40 Fortree Gym: level 45 Mossdeep Gym: Level 50 Sootopolis Gym: Level 55 Then one final battle after beating the Pokemon league: Level 60-65 Thoughts? |
I want to add a Ralts named Psi to my party.
EDIT: Question: are we battling each participant or just one per badge? |
I agree with changing the level cap and was thinking about the amount of grinding that would be had over the coming weeks lol
|
Ok I read through everything and that makes a lot of sense. I never actually really thought about it that way, to be completely honest. But I think you guys are right, having level 40 Pokemon by the third gym would make actual in-game content pretty boring, and that's not what we're aiming for. It is also a lot of grinding. I'm just realizing now that we should have started at level 15 and done increments of 5, as Arrow suggested. That way, our Pokemon would have only been a few levels above the gyms leaders strongest Pokemon at all times (sometimes matching!). I ****ed it up lol... I think I have an idea though. What if we change Wattson's (3rd badge) level cap to 25, and increase by 5 from there. That way, we won't have to use different Pokemon to avoid over-leveling through the in-game content before Brawly, who's level cap would still, also be 25 :p So basically it would be something like:
I'll be ready to battle after work today. I'll just get to level 20 if that's where everyone's at for now. And danica about your Pokemon swap, have you battled anyone yet? I thought we were only swapping after we battled everyone? I don't care either way and if everyone feels the same then I'll change your Pokemon, but if that's the case we might as well remove the restriction regarding when you can swap Pokemon... which works for me too, just wanna see what everyone says. I wish I was more organized and could provide everyone with a good set of rules that worked but it's my first time doing this. Sorry for the screw-ups! Has anyone done any battles yet? |
All sounds good to me, and now I'm 100% ready and keen for some battles so please before i forget/fall asleep, hit me up for a battle :P
|
Don't be hard on yourself Jim - we're just thankful someone took the reins in the first place :)
I like your proposals - I need to grind a little but should be ready for battles tomorrow. |
See my post Jim, the champion of the Elite Four's highest pokemon is level 59 so I don't want to impose a cap that would make battling the elite four too challenging. I thought a level cap of 60-65 would be better.
|
Edit: Ready for battle! It is currently 6pm (I'm central US). I will be ready from 9pm-2am or so. Let me know, I have added all of you into my friends list on my DS.

I'm almost ready to battle, just got home from work20 mins ago. I'm in the same boat as most of you; level grinding :x This is actually bullshit I'm earning like 49 xp per battle... I definitely shoulda thought a little harder about this. Thanks for the positive words though Arrow :) So yeah I'm not level 20 yet but if anyone wants to battle, I'm down I guess. My strongest Pokemon is level 18. I also caught a Taillow last night, just didn't have access to the computer to post (gf watching chic shows). |
I've also added everyone's Pokemon to the list, including your danica! Personally though, I'd like to refrain from "swapping" Pokemon in-and-out of our party's until after we have the current badge and have finished battling. But again, it's up to everyone so please, if you disagree let me know.
|
Alright its 9am over here in Australia, so I'm ready to battle anytime that anyone wants to in the next 12 hours! I guess I'll also add you all to my friends list on my 3DS to make it easier :)
Also when you add my friendcode my name will be Zessfar56 or something like that, dont ask me why I was just a weirdo when I first got hold of my 3DS |
Alright I got home a few minutes ago, and I just registered all of you into my friends list. I am available now until probably midnight pacific time. Hit me up! :D

Nice, first battle haha. I'll mark it up. Do you guys just wanna call the level cap 20 for the second gym? There's no way I'm getting to 25... is anyone past 20?
|
Quote:
In saying this, my Pokemon as I said are still level 20 so anyone who wants to battle, I'm available and I won't fight Brawly till later or when I've battled whoever wants to :) |
Quote:
All my pokemon are still level 20 and I'm good to battle for pretty much all the rest of today. While waiting to battle I'm playing around with other pokemon that are not for my team and I'm learning the ins and outs of all of the features of the "PokeNav". So i'm good to fight at any time! :D |
AIIIIGHHHHTTTT I'M GUD
I have time for like one battle before my gf gets home so che who wanna do dis right hurr. I'll be available until my gf gets home which will be anytime between now and the next half-ish hour. But if we're in the middle of a battle I clearly won't just like disconnect haha. Anyway I'm challenging wohever's online right now and accepting any challenges coming my way :) stokedd |

Brawlys Pokemon are super weak if yours are level 20, just letting everyone know that it incase they wanted to battle him before grinding up to 20 :/
|
I'm assuming we are going to all pause for a bit while our new addition catches up? or how are we handling new people?
|
I guess we could pause for a bit, or tone it down and focus on filling up our pokedexs and exploring without leveling our main party?
|
just beat brawly and did lots of grinding! everyone on my team evolved as well (so that's golbat, kirlia, and breloom ^^)
i'm ready to battle anyone who's gotten their second badge! |

Wait... When I decided to join, I thought we're supposed to get the first badge before the deadline, as well as not make any story/badge/level progress until after the deadline. :/
So does this mean by the time I'll get the first badge before or around this weekend, everyone else will already be beyond level 15 and already has more than 1 badge? Can someone clarify this for me? |
Quote:
Stone Badge (Roxanne): up to level 20 (14) Knuckle Badge (Brawly): up to level 25 (16) Dynamo Badge (Wattson): up to level 25 (21) Heat Badge (Flannery): up to level 30 (28) Balance Badge (Norman): up to level 35 (30) Feather Badge (Winona): up to level 40 (35) Mind Badge (Liza and Tate): up to level 45 (45) Rain Badge (Wallace): up to level 50 (46) Elite Four: up to level 60-65 (59) The numbers in () are the levels of the strongest pokemon in that gym. So for Roxanne, her strongest pokemon is a level 14 nosepass, Brawly's is a level 16 makuhita, etc. I believe we will advance as a group to the next section as soon as everyone hits the cap and has conducted at least a battle or two. |
Quote:
|
Alright, so to 100% clear, we've all got the first badge besides destinedjagold, and we're all waiting until he gets to the level cap of 20 before brawly, then also waiting till the deadline of people joining which is the 27th? Am I right or have I got really, really lost...

My team is still level 20 with only one badge, I'm waiting to fight everybody before progressing. I will be available for battle today with the same times as yesterday. 6pm-12am pacific.
Current score: Wins: 1 Losses: 2 |
I'm available for battle! I'm in the UK so The time difference might make battling a bit tricky - might be easier at the weekend but if you catch me online, please hit me up!
|
Living Arrow, give me like 10 minutes. I just need to get 2 levels (1 for ralts and 1 for grovyle) then I can battle :)
|
Cool! I'll stay online - just go for it when you are ready :)
|
Man why are my pokemon so weak? They always get 2shot in neutral matchups :/ GG Living Arrow
Winner: Living Arrow |
Nice battle! Thought my poor Cabbage was a goner - was such a risk to send her out like that. I like you naming convention, too.
|
Thanks :) Big fan of Greeks. Epsilon is my favorite :P
|
Yo! I'm online for anyone who hasn't fought me yet! :D
|
hey guys! i'm gonna be camping from today until monday, so i'll be inactive for the time being. sorry for the short notice! but once i'm back i'll be ready to battle anyone who's up for it!
|
Quote:
I'll be free to battle for most of Monday, so just post on here and hop online to battle. Have fun camping! |
Anyone online to battle now? :)
|
Apologies, my internet has had issues.
|
No worries. Wow your strats took that to the next level! Somehow I think next time things might go in your favour. As soon as your team has more bulk, I'm done!
|
I think I would have won if my internet hadn't pooped out lol. I have no idea why your pokemon do so much damage compared to mine though
|

|
Hey Green I'm available for the next 8 hours or so

Hopefully we can battle soon. I'm online right now and will be available until about 1pm. |

And the deadline thing should be addressed to, how long are we going to have between badges? A week seems a little too long, especially since we're not suppose to progress to the next badge until everyone is ready. I'm going to suggest 3 days? And what badge are we on? I've just beat Brawly but all my Pokemon are still level 20. I'm not going to make any progress in the story until everyone, including jagold, is at the same place or further. Also Danica, I think you should slow down a little bit to avoid over-leveling/getting ahead of everyone else, especially now we have a new player. Unless you guys want to scrap that rule? I think that's what makes it a play-through though, that we all play through it at the same time together :P I'm adding your info to the list now, jagold. |
