I can't imagine how long a game like that would be! :O
It might even cause more cases of 7.8s.
The lack of ANYTHING of substance between the third and fourth gyms is way worse than the gap between the first and second. That gap is only bad because it makes you think you'll be playing a long but well-paced game rather than the gym rush that follows once you beat Korrina.

papertoonz. Alistair Roo is also helping I believe
So I was trying to fish for Remoraid in Pokémon Crystal got the super Rod and rushed through the event to manget train powered up and rushed to route 44 and started fishing expecting that it would be a while till he popped up but after fishing up Poliwag and Magikarp I began to suspect that something was up.
So I checked a second source and turns out that Remoraid is not in Crystal despite what Serebii Pokéearth page for Crystal would say. Joe ya led on a wild rabbit chase. *shakes fist*
Ah well at least I found out early instead of wasting hours trying to fish him up.
Oh the brighter side Pokénn is out in two weeks, so can't wait to play it.
Yeah and it doesn't get any better, which is why I am baffled when people say that Red is better than Ash when he shows zero character development and he barely see his team as he just keeps using Charizard all the time.
Red is basically how little kids play Pokémon, just only use the starter.
Yeah, for me Kalos and Gen 6 really disappointed me but I still held out hope that the third version would the version that could redeem gen 6 in my eyes alas that wasn't to be.
I am still not going to judge gen 6 just yet till Pokémon Sun and Moon releases with some time for me to soak them but at the moment gen 6 is very likely to go down as the most disappointing generation with no redeeming factors.

I really wish Nintendo could send me an email when it was time to renew my Pokemon Bank sub. It's a once a year thing and I always forget. I just use it to transfer dudes back and forth, so I don't leave guys in there, but I'm always afraid I'm going to forget and lose my stuff.

You'd need to forget for like years to lose your stuff. The grace period is very generous. lol
I thought the grace period was 3 months. Well, I'd still like a renewal reminder. Would make things easier.

An auto renewal option would be even better.
I just wish that you can check your subscription without having the game in the cart.

Playing Omega Ruby and I just battled/caught Groudon and afterwards got the Eon Flute so I can fly on Latios and OH MY GAWD ITS AMAZING.
Pretty much renders Fly obsolete and I do hope it makes a return for Sun/Moon in some fashion.

My thoughts for the most part. There were so many parts that should've been expanded upon and its seems like the new Zygarde lore could have held together a third game rather nicely but X/Y were the actual worst games in the series for me and while I enjoyed ORAS, they weren't really anything special.
I'm hoping a lot of X/Y was just growing pains from the transition into 3D because honestly if the next generation of Pokemon is as bad as Gen VI, I really don't think I'll be sticking around for future games.
No it's not. It's due out on the 15th this month just like every month which isn't August. http://corocoro.tv/next/index.html
Where did you hear it was early?
Yeah OR/AS is pretty good but it can not represent gen 6 or the Kalos region as it's a remake of a gen 3 Hoenn game. Meaning that that it fell to X and Y to do that till the Kalos third game was released, which is clearly not happening.
Honestly for me it feels that Game Freak never intended to give too much focus on Gen 6 something that X and Y shows.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I personally feel ORAS was a crappier game vs XY
IT was just as good, but it didn't had the novelty of the 3D Models anymore, so maybe that played a role.
Boss Doggie

and well, XY has the "new" feeling ORAS didn't have.
anyway
look who's getting his nerd on

Hoenn was always my least favorite, and ORAS didn't change that despite several improvements. Kalos is probably my 3rd-ish favorite region so I gravitate towards it.
I agree the new stuff in ORAS is kind of buried and it's not like FRLG and HGSS where it stands on its own with its own unique flavor. It didnt help that the engine made it feel like X Ruby and Y Sapphire. That and the gane was definitely not rebalanced for all the new features like exp share and mega evolution lol. Still fun tho!

ORAS was absolutely worse than XY.
I like XY and ORAS, but they both disappoint me. I like the mechanics and quality of life improvements, but when I look at story and content as a whole package, Gen VI is a letdown. BW and BW2 beat XY for me and HGSS is a much superior remake when compared to ORAS.
I can't fault XY too much for being light on postgame since the first entries often are, but it's light even as far as light goes. ORAS I can't forgive in terms of postgame or new features, especially after HGSS. HGSS had a whole new safari system, a battle frontier, pokeathlon, pokewalker, a few legendaries and I know there are things I'm missing.
ORAS has soaring and the associated islands... dexnav which is neat, lots of legendaries, copy/pasted Maison(despite being the ORIGIN OF THE FRONTIER), revamped secret bases, a daycare with an infinite loop and uh... ... Oh also a watered down safari zone so that it has none of the safari aspects anymore. Awesome. Oh there's also Delta Episode which was neat.
There's not really any generation I hate. And I don't even know if I'd consider Gen VI my least favorite. But I definitely consider it a letdown in comparison to the things that came just before. I prefer playing Gen VI games due to quality of life and whatnot, though.

Aaaah you're at the sixth gym already catching up fast. Sneak peek:the 7th is top tier stuff
Also trick room was used by Connor in the sinnoh league
Ahh, makes sense its been used before. I'll have to watch the sinnoh series down the line. Most seem to rank it as the best.
I've only seen Sawyer for a couple episodes but he has been non stop handed loses. Guessing that Alan is the more typical rival? He is in the opening but haven't seen him yet outside the mega evolution episodes yet.

Yea sawyer is like a student at this point and i wouldn't call alan a rival really either they're on opposite sides I'll leave it at that
Giveaway ended up a couple weeks ago. Most stores were out of codes even before then, though. Your best bet would maybe be to call some less trafficked stores and see if there were any leftovers. Barring that, buy a code off of eBay or beg here and other pokemon communities.
I see. Ebay seems to have them going around 7 to 10 dollars. Does uh... anybody want a reasonably priced Steam game for a code? She has a NA 3DS but is currently in Australia. I don't know if that affects things. I feel bad mucking up a discussion thread with buy requests.

So what's so special about HGSS? Playing through it again and I'm up to the last gym. I know it's based on a Gameboy title, but the region is seriously bland. So is the Pokedex so far. I'm really missing the variety found in 6th gen. It says a lot that I'm using Kadabra as my "ghost counter" and that Gyarados and Seadra are featured in a dragon gym...
It's fun cause it's Pokemon, but I could be getting the same fun plus a lot more in other games.

The variety of Pokémon really peaked with Gen 6. HGSS is loved mainly because of nostalgia and the fact that it has two regions to explore.

Ash can count himself lucky that there's no Ice/Electric type Pokémon. This would be his worst nightmare right now.
Wich means it's the perfect Pokémon to introduce in the League to make him lose to!

yep that's johto for you one of the blandest regions
Black 2 lets you unlock a harder difficulty. I wish they kept going with that. Obviously in a way that wasn't completely stupid though.

Yeah Rambo refers to Goodra, because war survivor and all that shit
If Goodra comes back I just want him to fly in some episode. It would be nice to see him return to the group. Ash has answers for ice types anyways.
Is there a way to unlock Shadow Mewtwo in Pokken without the card? Or does it just let you unlock him sooner. Think I want to get the game digitally.

Might not be that helpful, but Celebi is being given away this month via online mystery gift. If she has an NA 3DS I assume she can probably download it, even in Australia.
The mythical Pokemon are being given away every month in 2016, next month is Jirachi.

Anyone play any of the ROMhacks, or RPG maker based fan games? Playing through Pokemon Glazed right now and I'm having a hell of a time. Well, there was a bit of difficulty spike somewhat early on that could have been avoided if I managed to catch a certain Pokemon so that was frustrating. It's enjoyable, though. I'm really digging the region thus far. Being able to choose between 5 starters is also a nice change of pace. I went with Riolu.

Last time they gave him a powerful team they had to introduce someone powerful enough to fuck him over
The only ones I've really enjoyed are Drayano's hacks (BlazeBlack, etc.)
I've messed around with a several others, but ultimately couldn't handle the writing. I played Snakewood the most, mainly because of how dumb it was.

Word. I've combed through countless fan made games, but the bolded part is what I had issue with the most. Now, I understand that a lot of these are created by non-native English speakers, but I can only read what's in front of me and man I've seen some hot garbage. Not just from a dialog perspective, but spelling/grammatical errors as well. Some of the highly recommended games are unplayable due to the writing. That, or the flow and balance of the game is completely off. Light Platinum is highly regarded, but the writing is atrocious and they just throw Pokemon at you. No thanks.
Despite having a few minor spelling errors, Pokemon Glazed is pretty damn legit. It's definitely the best fan made game I've played so far.
I'll have to check out Glazed at some point then. Yeah, I've been unable to stomach most of the "top" ROM hacks, it's why I stick to Drayano's since he only alters gameplay.
