Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire announced

SUPER MEGA STORY SPOILER:

 Spoiler

TWO Pokemon Universes!

This could end up being... awesome?

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.

Does aqua ring remove stat effects? You could try sleeping him or hoping paralyze stops him doing it.

Was waiting for someone to mention this.
I really like the idea of it now that i've had time to think about it.

 Spoiler

It's funny that I never noticed that X and Y was so... different. You'd think the Pokemon War would have been mentioned in the past games, and I remember a lot of people were saying "how is it possible that Mega Evolutions have only just been discovered?" but in this alternate universe they have always existed.

Funnily enough, this makes Pokemon Origins canon.

 Spoiler

It could even end up being more universes, fitting every single pokemon game into a very big canon. Now to fit every game into a "timeline", we are going to need a Pokemon Historia.

And with the implications you mentioned, a Kanto remake that has Red fighting Red could possibly happen. Way to go Game Freak.

Indeed, and i've just realized that the various spin-offs probably might be included to, like the Mystery Dungeon games. An alternate timeline where humans never existed and Pokemon are the dominant species. Perhaps it might even be a timeline where the Pokemon War actually wiped out all humans, and the games are set in a post-apocalypse wasteland.

It's amazing how that like, 3 or 4 lines of text have HUGE implications on the franchise as a whole.

As cool as it sounds, I honestly don't think GF is going to take much of an advantage of it. As far-reaching as the statement is, it's still a "cop-out" explanation for the existence of Mega Evolution in Hoenn in ORAS but not RSE. So much potential, but GF is probably just going to use it as their go-to rationale for retcons now.

Paralel universes? That's Team Galactic's doing! And that can only mean one thing...

SINNOH CONFURMED!

So far 10 hours in and have about 3 badges as I'm taking my sweet ass time. I'm enjoying this way more then I did with X & Y.


Btw guys.. there's too much water.

Yeah I'm taking my sweet time as well. All these people on Pokémon forums bragging about finish in 10-12 hours. Like what? I don't see the fun in rushing through everything and not exploring the game.

Too much water, not enough milotic. Honestly if they don't offer a DLC patch with mega milotic I'm giving it up, I haven't actually opened it yet because I'm still playing fantasy life lmao

v1.1 (or .01) patch available. It IS required for online play. No specific details, or at least none immediately available and I'm too tired to care, but it apparently offers increased stability and fixes some existing bugs.

Also I'm at 18 hours and have 5 badges. Keep doubling back to train stuff because why not?

QRCodes for the patch.
Edit: Apparently it can be downloaded in Europe in preparation for the game.

I imagine it's fixing the end credits bug, where the game gets stuck on a scene during the end credits and you can't do anything, reloading the save traps you in the hall of fame and you can't leave or continue, meaning you have to start a new game.

I just soared for the first time last night and it was such an amazing experience. It stinks that it probably won't be carried to future games though. :\

Is it just me or do the legendaries seem to have altered catch rates?
Kyogre took forever to catch, yet Rayquaza only took a few dusk balls. At yellow health.
Also trying to catch Zekrom, who I had no issues catching in Gen 5, yet is currently burning through my dusk balls.
EDIT: and as soon as I say that, I finally caught him.

Typically pokemon legendaries that are related to the story are easy to catch, while ones outside from other regions are the ones with the like 1% catch rate

Yeah, but I remember back in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald Rayquaza took forever to catch.
Ah well.

I think the whole "story legendaries easy catch rate" wasn't applied until X & Y, they just carried it over, it's a recent change

Also, as a little PSA changing the 3DS clock freezes all daily events. I believe it's only however far you went ahead (I dunno about going backwards), since I went to today I believe and my stuff unlocked again at midnight (mirage spots changed and whatnot).

Hope it's only for the amount you change it back, cause I still haven't changed back for dst, andbI was starting to doubt I would.

Anyone know the way to make ez poke in this game? I need money for vitamins so I can force them down the throats of the newly bred infant pokemon fortunate enough to be in their pokeballs instead of level 1 in the wild.

Also if anyone gets a good timid shiny pidgey I'll trade you my soul for it
