Hey guys,
I had a few questions regarding the current state of the game and what I should do next.
First I would like to know which game offers more capturable Pokemon from all generations, XY or ORAS?
X & Y have almost all non-legendary, non-starter Pokemon in it, but a few of them can only be found in Friend Safaris.
Second, Since the last time I played a Pokémon game was Red on a gameboy, I was wondering what this extra training is (my pokemon was shooting soccer balls at these targets) and any other of these must know features. If you can explain it layman terms and where I should go if I need more info that would be great.
To greatly simplify things, Super-Training a certain Stat results in an increase in said Stat. The increase becomes more apparent the more you Super-Train the same Stat and the higher the Pokemon's level is. There are many other things that factor in though, like the Nature of the Pokemon and it's potential. For more info, look up "EV-Training" on Serebii, or Smogon, but prepare to be overwhelmed at first.
Third, if I wanted a blue ralts (the only Pokemon I actually liked in my first play through) how would do that if I am starting a new game again?
ORAS has a new feature called the "DexNav". By defeating the same wild Pokemon again and again (with no other battles in-between and running away doesn't count) you increase the chances of eventually finding a Shiny version of it. In the DexNav you can just click on the icon of the Pokemon you want to encounter and it will appear somewhere on the map and you'll have to slowly sneak up on it.
Fourth, is there a guide out there on the best type of team you can assemble to capture legendaries? In my first play through I managed to easily capture Rayquanza but Kyogyr and Deoxy (or wtv they are called) would not get captured at all.
First, you need a Pokemon with the move False Swipe (you can get a TM from a man in the Rustboro City Mart) OR Hold Back (the Shiny Beldum you get from Mystery Gift has it). That way, you can bring the legendary down to 1 HP, making it much easier to catch. You also need a Pokemon with a move that inflicts Sleep or Paralysis, because those status ailments make it even easier for the legendary to be caught.
And lastly, are Absol and Aggron good Pokemon? Besides my Gardevoir I though these two were pretty cool too but they just seemed so useless. Aggron basically died to everything even electricity while Absol was even worse.
Did I do something wrong or are these guys just crap?
Absol is a glass cannon, it hits fast and hard but it doesn't take hits too well. Teach it highly offensive moves like Night Slash, Return and Flamethrower and go all out! Aggron is a Physical tank, so it can't sponge Special moves like Thunderbolts and Water Pulses. It's also super-weak to Ground and Fighting moves. Pit it against Normal, Flying, Bug, Poison, or Fairy Pokemon that can do little to no damage to Aggron and retaliate with hard-hitting moves like Heavy Slam, Earthquake or Double-Edge.
Thanks!
You're welcome!
edit: I was also curious about one thing, why does this site support Roms and emulators, I though those stuff were illegal?
It doesn't exactly support them from what I understand. It's complicated. ROM-hacking requires you to have an emulator and a ROM of the original game, but you'll have to Google them or something, because PC doesn't provide links to downloading ROMs.
another thing that caught my attention was when I was looking through the Trade sub-forum it seemed this site tolerated things like 999 items codes and cloning and etc, mind you I dont get half the stuff the rules post was saying but I never knew these things were possible.
is it possible to make my game do these things as well? like spawning a random Zaptos in a grass or making a normal charmander into a black one with just a series of A,X,B,Z up/down/right/left keys?
I dont ask this to cheat or mislead other people but just for my own single player personal enjoyment.
Idk about this. The people who have done this have probably used external hacking tools and have done A LOT of reading. I don't think you can just magically make those things happen by pressing some random buttons in the game.
thank you for being so patient and reading this wall of text.
that was a lot of text.
