LuxSpes Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 So after completing the main game (currently on Delta episode), I'm starting to think that the complaints of "too much water" are pretty unfounded this time around. All the water routes are still there, but there were two main problems with them: 1. Navigation was difficult. 2. (Nearly) All the trainers you fought used water Pokemon. Neither of these are true anymore. Navigation is no longer problem because 1) you can have the map on the lower screen to always know where you are, and 2) the routes themselves are more diverse, with landmarks being more recognizable. #2 isn't a problem because there are surfing trainers that use any type of Pokemon and more trainers in general on land. Now the complaining is just that it's water instead of a cave, I guess? I also heard complaints about running into the same Pokemon all the time, but I wouldn't know if that's a problem because I, like any other smart person who wishes to not run into wild Pokemon, used repels. Sharpedo going double the speed definitely helped as well. Overall, I found that GF did all they could to alleviate the problems people had with the amount of water in the original. In fact, the water routes were the ones that took me the less time to traverse with the exception of the short early game ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM ME MARIANNE ART Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Okay, so I beat the game. My team was Blaziken Level 59 Swellow Level 58 Manectric level 58 Flygon level 58 Sharpedo level 56 Aggron level 54 The hardest battle in the game was a level 18 Tailow I found before Roxanne's gym. Steven was second. I transferred all my competitive pokemon, and now I'm in the delta episode (I found Zekrom! I didn't catch it because I'm not in the mood to reset for IVs). I have to know: are you guys positive that if I beat Deoxys it will come back? Because I really want a perfect one and resetting through catching Rayquaza and those cutscenes is not something I want to do.

Anacybele Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Whoa, I found a lv. 18 Taillow too, though it was right after the first gym. Didn't even try to catch it though, my Treecko was still only lv. 13 or 14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djing Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Serebii says that DexNav'd Absol can carry Life Orbs. Can someone confirm this? Edit: I can confirm that DexNav'd Absols can indeed carry Life Orbs. So much BP saved. Edited November 26, 2014 by Spaceman Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This never got answered, and now I can't really move on until I know I caught Rayquaza in a premier ball!!! Now I'm up against Deoxys so I kinda need to know if I can beat it and come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fengaridotdll Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I just got the game yesterday, and I am about to battle the E4 (have to wait a bit cause my 3DS died) My team is: I Lift Bro (Starter, Swampert) Level 50, holding Swampertite, Male Manakete (Latios) Level 43/44, holding Latiosite, Male Eirika (Mightyena) Level 43/44, holding nothing, Female Tectonis (Groudon) Level 51, holding Red Orb, no gender Sllave (Linoone, HM Slave) Level 43/44, holding nothing, Male Metang (Metang, Shiny, Event) Level 41/42, Metagrossite, no gender I selected the female protagonist and named her Emily (Cause I can) And is it just me, or does Wally's battle theme sound like it would be right at home in BlazBlue?

Florete Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The ending of the delta episode, geez. It's like something out of a fan hack (in a good way). You fight and catch mega Rayquaza. Then you battle Zinnia, which isn't that big of a deal on its own, but she is the strongest trainer you've fought until then and has mega Salamence, so it's kind of a big deal. Then you ride on Rayquaza's back into space to destroy a meteor on a collision course with the planet. And then fucking Deoxys comes out of the meteor, and it's level 80 after the Rayquaza you just caught is level 70. Wow. That trumps anything that happened in X/Y, that's for sure. What? That can't be possible. How the hell do you complete a Pokemon game in just one day? Or, well, almost complete it.The main story through the E4 took me about 10 hours, and that's with fighting a lot of trainers along the way and doing some side stuff with animations all on. It's really not that bad. I usually beat Pokemon games through the champion in three or four days playing modestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is rather easy compared to the originals I would have completed Y the day it came out, had it not been for my DS dying and me forgetting to charge it Yeah, the Gen 6 games are rather easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 EXP Share is why They intentionally made levels higher in XY because of it, but forgot in ORAS so you end up like 10 levels above everything. It removes a lot of difficulty but is a godsend to stop grinding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) It's like something out of a fan hack (in a good way). at least for me, the best part after all that was finally getting that date with brendan ships4dayz Edited November 27, 2014 by CT075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Oh, I see. Well, I'm glad then, because my team was often under-leveled in Emerald. I still only have one badge and am about to go for badge 2, but I was playing Smash all weekend and didn't start my game until a couple days ago, and now I've been busy with Thanksgiving preparations. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fengaridotdll Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The part with Groudon awakening is crazy, because Groudon is surrounded by lava in the middle of ocean, then you go onto the land and the SKY ITSELF is on fire, and there is that creepy music in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kon Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 so mons get boosted exp if they're above evolution level probably so you can do things like hydro pump swampert more easily It turns out they grant your Mon with like three hearts in the Pokémon Amie thing. It happened with once my Skitty had reached a certain level (somewhere in its mid 20's, IIRC), when I hadn't touched it even once since I started playing. Although why that would apply to someone who evolves by stone... I got nothing ~o3o~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fengaridotdll Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) One thing I really want to do when I finish the Delta Episode is to have Deoxys be the first Pokemon I do Pokemon-Amie with (I kinda ignored it in the main story) I actually just finished the Delta Episode. It took me like 10 resets to catch Deoxys though And I lied about the Deoxys Pokemon-Amie thing. I did it with my shiny Metagross Edited November 27, 2014 by Mastergabe2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 So, question. Where can you catch a Ralts? I don't remember. I need a male one because Mega Gallade. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
