Sylphid Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I found it interresting it was so obvious. Team Flare's Leader is convinced he's doing the right thing, and think you will approve his ideas. He's a clearly evil guy who deluded itself into thinking he's a savior. And he waits before destroying everything, because until the end, he think you'll "come back to your sense", and accept his solution.(Or maybe he hoped someone could prove him wrong all along, because he is not happy with destroying everything.) And he's the most influent person in Kalos, so nobody pays attention to his weird antics. In a way, it made him more terrifying than Ghetsis. I like the idea of traveling with friends, with each his own reason to participate. And this time, you're not the only one who stop the evil team, but the others participate too. That was a nice addition. And Sycamore is awesome. And Lysandre and Dianthia's talk being an attack against Idols' cult was pretty nice. I should have been more specific about what I said. I liked that it is made obvious to the player who Team Flare's boss is. What I didn't like was that it was made so painfully obvious at some points that it makes you facepalm at the characters for not realizing it. Specifically the scene right after Luminose's gym, which is basically a monologue by the the boss about how using an ancient weapon to wipe out most of humanity/pokemons should happen because that way the filth would be purged from the world. Sycamore's response? "He has strong opinions". I admit I didn't think his actions before the last battles having that motive. Thanks for giving me a different perspective to it =) (I admit, when put that way, he is more fearsome than Ghetsis) Yes, Sycamore is awesome. It's just his dialogue right after Luminose's gym I don't like. Because that scene kills the "Why didn't I realize it..." scene that plays afterwards for me. (Only thought I had about that was "yeah, you should have suspected something after Luminose") I really liked the story in this game, it's just that one scene I don't like (and it would have been fine if the dialogue had been downplayed a bit), and another scene because of that one scene.

Icon of Sin Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Defog now removes hazards that BOTH players have set down. Yeah, and the metagame now got turned on its head even more. Finally. About time we don't have to rely on this stupid Rapid Spin for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoNameAtAll Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Recent Legendaries have really high catch rates. Reshiram's catch rate is 9 times more than Groudon and 15 times more than Rayquaza. For reference, Reshiram (and other recent cover legendaries) are easier to catch than the likes of the Beldum line, Absol, Snorlax, Basculin, Ditto and Chatot. Apparently the games weren't easy enough. Because eliminating tedium in a game equates to an easy experience. Seriously? Abysmal catch rates in the earlier games were an exercise in frustration. Not all of the legendaries, mind you, but like say...anything with Recover? The super low catch rates were moronic and if they did eliminate them, I'll have no qualms. All one had to do to keep trying was reset anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ether Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Phew, thankfully, my Lucario was able to move first when it battled Korrina's and I won. Even though for SOME reason, Korrina's did more damage with Power-Up Punch. :/ But whatever, I can move on now. lol I'd hate to box this guy after he took such a liking to Kerena, so I'll keep him in my team for awhile. The Lucario you use is always Hasty with a 31 Spd IV. It's designed that way so that you'll outspeed her Lucario, and thus the battle isn't a complete PITA. This does, however, give you -Def, and since her Lucario isn't +Spd, it very well may be +Atk. This would explain the damage discrepancy.

I suppose that Korrina's Lucario could just be randomly generated, and they might have rolled one with +Spd and a 31 IV as well, and lost the Spd tie, but the one you're given always has perfect Spd.

Shuuda Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Well, I finally beat the champion today. I do say fighting the E4 with my slightly underlevelled team provided a lot of epic fights. Below is the team that I used to battle them. I'm happy to have gone with a team that span all generations. Each one of them was awesome at some point. Venusaur - Level 56, Relaxed, Male Ability: Overgrow Item: Black Sludge Moves: Double-Edge / Sleep Powder / Leech Seed / Energy Ball In all honesty, I thought Venusaur would be letting me down, but the sleep and seed combo worked amazingly well against two of the E4 members. I'm glad I decided to keep him. Ampharos - Level 56, Mild, Male Ability: Static / Mold Breaker Item: Ampharosite Moves: Power Gem / Dragon Pulse / Thunderbolt / Focus Blast My reliable bulky special attacker. I only used his mega evo once against the E4, but Thunderbolt and Dragon Pulse helped a lot here and there. The most majestic pokemon by far. Mawile - Level 55, Brave, Female Ability: Intimidate Item: Leftovers Moves: Swords Dance / Power-Up Punch / Baton Pass / Sucker Punch Mawile's good defense and attack helped during some of the tougher pokemon, especially with Sucker Punch. She also worked well by passing boosts to Lucario. Lucario - Level 55, Naughty, Male Ability: Inner Focus / Adaptability Item: Lucarionite Moves: Hidden Power (Dragon) / Poison Jab / Close Combat / Aura Sphere Once he learned Close Combat he was able to lay some beatings down pretty easily. I got plent of use out of his mega form during some of the later battles. Golurk - Level 56, Careful, Genderless Ability: Iron Fist Item: Soft Sand Moves: Rock Slide / Earthquake / Shadow Punch / Power-Up Punch Earthquake is always a necessary somewhere on a team. Between that and Rockslide, Golurk had some good coverage against the E4 pokemon it went up against. Delphox - Level 59, Modest, Female Ability: Blaze Item: None Moves: Shadow Ball / Will-O-Wisp / Flamethrower / Psyshock Thanks to her high special attack and speed, Delphox was beastly by this point. Probably my favourite fire type starter now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, okay. That makes sense then. Shuuda: Venusaur and Mawile can both mega evolve, ya know. Or were you not able to get their respective Mega Stones?

Icon of Sin Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 You always get the Gen 1 starter Mega Stone with the starter. Not sure about Mawile and it doesn't interest me too much considering my dislike for the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or were you not able to get their respective Mega Stones? I didn't use Venusaur's because I didn't want to give up Black Sludge + Leech Seed healing, and I believe Mawile's cannot be gotten pre-E4. I do want to get Mawile's mega evo, since it looks pretty cool and comes with Huge Power as an ability, along with defense boosts.
