  • So, in RSE, Scorched Slab didn't have much to see. It was just an empty single-room cavern where you could find TM 11. In OR/AS though, it gets a big change--it's now a four floor cavern, at the bottom of which we find a portal leading to a Heatran encounter.

    So what are your thoughts on this change? Were you surprised to see Scorched Slab get a bit more development this time around? I personally remember always thinking there had to be something more to Scorched Slab back in RSE, and I frequently even looked around it for a secret passage or a hidden item. It was a little disappointing to find that there was nothing more to find there, so I was really surprised to see how much they changed it in OR/AS! I didn't even expect the Heatran encounter to be at the bottom of the cave either ^^

  • I read about in in advance, so Heatran's presence wasn't a surprise, but I'm glad they finally made something out of that cave. I spent a very long time searching it in Emerald, but there wasn't any point at the time.

    I suppose, if you think about it, we had to wait ten years for the Scorched Slab to show us it's secrets!

  • Other than Heatran and Charizardite Y, the Scorched Slab is nothing special. I only went there to get those things and never came back.

  • I enjoyed it. It's nice to revisit a place you thought was useless, only to find out there's a reason for it to exist.

    I'm glad it was finally given a purpose beyond TM11. Back in RSE I kept thinking that it had some sort of secret that I missed but there never was, so the Heatran portal was a nice new addition but also a bit disappointing, as I would have preferred something more Hoenn-specific honestly.
