6th Gen Altering Cave

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

You said yourself that Friend Safari may be coming back:





Since you reminded me that the Altering Cave was in FR/LG, I stand corrected that it was pretty much worthless, as I don't remember stepping upon it during my playthrough.

How embarrassing...you know that's actually a typo I made. I meant to say Safari Zone :3c

It's quite isolated from the rest of the islands, I found it by accident...was so disappointed by what was inside...Zubat...

Wait what? I played Emerald countless times and never even realised that it existed 0_0

If this cave were to return, I really want to see it be an "actual" cave with passageways and puzzles, leading to (possibly?) a legendary pokemon. Or it could be a location for a mega stone?

Otherwise, this cave serves no purpose and I hope to see it gone.

I earlier suggested that they could change the Pokemon every day. So perhaps they could do the same with the layout to fit the Pokemon. With each day having a certain layout.

Do you mean it would have only one type of Pokémon each day, and have a certain static layout for each type of Pokémon?

That made me think of changing the cave's skin, along with grouping the Pokémon types. Like, instead of a completely random pool of Pokémon, it chooses only Pokémon that have a certain type, and changes the cave's appearance to fit them. It would still randomly generate passageways and puzzles, they just would look different depending on the types of Pokémon found in the cave.

For example, say one day only Fire Pokémon appear, and the cave's walls and floor look like a volcanic area, then another day it chooses to have Water Pokémon appear, and changes the appearance to something like an underwater cave. Maybe this could also affect the kind of obstacles you find while exploring.

A Mega Stone would also be a good addition, and they could make it a guaranteed one-time reward for getting to the end for the first time.

Yeah, like one day only Chingling could appear, and the cave could have levitating stones, and have rope like those in shinto shrines. For Togepi's it could have egg shaped rocks, and pink dust (fairy dust) flying around.

Maybe it could be done a la Mirage Island style, and appear at random? And maybe have either Hidden Ability Pokemon, or Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos Pokemon in? And maybe if you have XY data stored, the chances of Altering Cave appear are higher?

I think one Mirage Island type area is enough for one game, haha. :p I think this area would best function as something similar to Hidden Grottos in the form of swarms and not overworld Pokemon, or something like Friend Safaris. Although Friend Caves is kind of sad.
