Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire announced

Has anyone found a Dawn Stone in game yet? I really don't want to have to go all the way to secret training for one

Victory Road. Wally gives it to you.

That's unfortunate, considering I need it now... and I'm at the 4th gym

Blown the pineapple away. That was a nostalgia sucker punch.

they use gba graphics for the pokefinder as well

Just a warning to all of you: so I'm pretty picky about my Natures, even when just going through the main campaign of the game, so I decided to save right before you fight the scripted Poochyena with "<Element> Fang". I caught it, checked its Nature (which was absolute pomegranate for it) and Soft Reset... but when I reloaded the game, the game counted as me having scared it away... so yeah; don't do what I did and miss out on a free 'special' Poochyena, so you don't end up having to try to find one out in the wild yourself.

Oh wow.

Best Surf slave.

I guess its name fits now.

Prettyyy sure the first Poocyena is scripted and starter dependent.

Wouldn't surprise me I guess[/COLOR]

Regarding O-Powers:

 Spoiler

Obtaining the O-Powers is somewhat of a mini quest in itself. When in Mauville City, if you go to the Pokémon Center, you will find a strange man, Giddy, next to the map in the top right hand corner. Talk to him and he will give you an O Power, and then another. He'll then leave and be replaced by Hipster. He will give you three different O-Powers before he then leaves. After that, Bard appears and will ask you to listen to songs, and give you two O-Powers. A new man, Trader, then appears and offers to trade you Secret Base Decorations for a variety of simple items such as Potions and Poké Balls. In doing so, he too will give you an O-Power. Finally, after he goes, another man, Storyteller, appears and tells you stories about yourself and gives you an O-Power.
Speak to him again after beating the Elite Four and he will invite you up to his apartment in Mauville Hills. When there, they will tell you that they are longing for someone to give power to, and learn of a powerless man across the hall. Speak to him and he will go to their apartment. Soon, the five men explain that they want to retire and they soon start to merge with the man and the man becomes Mr. Bonding. Just before he leaves for other regions to give O-Powers, he gives you the final O-Power.

...The pineapple? Dragonball Z fusion dance is a pokemon thing now?
Also weird giving an origin story to a character that literally nobody cares about.

Pre-ordering the game today.

I've been having an internal debate over which starter to start with. but now i'm considering boxing my starter and using the shiny Beldum
It comes at the same level, why not.

I remember when I got White 2 and the Genesect event was going on that gave you a level 15 one I used that for my entire playthrough, was OP as pineapple. Beldum won't be nearly as OP I imagine.

Even if you scare him, you just have to go into town and come back, walk through the grass for a bit and you'll be able to encounter him even if you don't see his tail.

every time i find a ralts using dexnav it USES MEMENTOOOOOOOOOOO

Continuous path for breeding + Day Care + IV checker all in the same place? gawd damn.
If only it weren't for those damn sand pits.

My guess is that Diancie (and Carbink by extension) is an alien, and that the huge pink rock in Kalos is a meteorite that landed.

Also the only reason im getting Sapphire is because half naked team aqua men.

Off-topic:

O.O Mahou Shoujo of the End has an official English translation?!

Last manga I'd expect to get one, considering how dark and insanely gory it is. While being all-around weird.

EDIT: Guess I should say something else to avoid this post getting deleted or something.

I got AS, because I initially played Sapphire wayyyyy back then.

ikr it was suprising to see in my monthly magazine on the release list. Volume 2 in february!



On topic, i hope i can get a Meowth on GTS when i start the game, i kinda wanna use one in my team. I guess there might be more chance to get one since EU gets the game a week later ( ._. )

Primal Kyogre is pretty difficult to catch.
He gets Aqua Ring, which can undo the damage you do to him.
Still working on catching him, hopefully.

A wild Sandshrew killed my Tentacool
4 Dead so far. Honestly doing better overall than I did on my last nuzlocke challenge.
Though these deaths have been mostly my own stupidity rather than the wonky way critical hits work in Gen 1.

 Spoiler

All of the gym leaders I've faced so far are nerfed compared to what they had and what levels they were in the original game.
