Wait, what? There's no battle frontier? Seriously? Probably not gonna pick this up then.

My trusty Breloom, who has been helping me face down Legendary Pokémon since 2004, has finally got the recognition it deserves

Never underestimate how easy it is to get legendaries via trading online.

Battle frontier under construction is probably what he's referring to.
I've gotten legendaries for offering up starters lol. It's not really hard as you said.

I thought the interview was more about the world being too hard for kids to explore (as gameplay-wise we know throwing EXP into the starter and fighting anything is nearly impossible to lose). Considering how many HMs you needed to get around the world I can see what they mean.
Also consider the Pokemon BW world design of route - town - grinding area (if town w/gym) repeat till end, gen VI being just as straightforward and having very dumbed down dungeons and ORAS having
fucking teleports in case a kid is too dumb to backtrack
Level 100 Pokemon (preferably something popular). Stick onto GTS ask for what legendary you want, wait a few days max and you should have it. Levelling up is easy, either buy a load of rare candies on Pokemon global link or trainers that yield loads of EXP (in XY Battle Chateau Furosade girls are the best...hopefully ORAS has something similar).
You've got to consider that might even be overkill now (I still enjoy it as it feels like I worked towards it) because
there are so many of these things transfered up from bank and/or dream radar and with Gen VI ones people might get rid of their spares
both Lugia and Ho-Oh for getting Raikou, Entei, Suicune

That and the reference to Scott and the Pika Queen.
Along with the Battle Factory and Battle Frontier Brain tracks found in the ROM.

I didn't know about that last bit. That's... actually somewhat encouraging. But I worry it's just remnants from scrapped content :\

I did not see the Battle Chantile track in the sound directory dump. I would not be surprised if the frontier brain theme played there instead. Who is going to do 20 battles in the maison to find out?
I did see a random comment that said it plays for them.

Maybe sending over Goomy, Honedge and Hawlucha for my playthrough wasn't such a good idea. Seems like the trio + Mudkip are a beast
I could see the frontier brain track play for that yeah, but I thought the entire XY soundtrack was found in this? Or was that just for the demo?

How far in do I have to get to unlock trading? Considering restarting for a good nature Beldum, but I'd like to trade away at least one with a megastone in case my wife decides she wants Ruby after this promotion is over.
Aren't I pretty much guaranteed to end up with a hacked 'mon though? Maybe I'm taking it too seriously, but that bothers me. All my other pokes are legit (I think).
Aww man, now I'm even more upset that I lost my GC memory card with my Box file on it. I don't know if I have anything from my original Sapphire file left outside of that.

Cloned is more likely (tools exist to clone entire boxes). I'd say out of my completed GTS collection of legendaries less than 1/3 are hacked (6IVs usually OT Ash ID #01337 or OT PCApp), including depressing amounts of 4*0 IV Gen III glitched roaming legendaries. I only got them for Shiny charm and now have them for getting the most out of ORAS.

If the "hacked" mon has complete legit stats and moves you wouldn't be able to tell the difference ever. Chances are also that people won't trade completely obviously hacked pokemon to others. Way higher chance to see it used in battle than as a trade.
Also if it's a gen 6 pokemon with the pentagon, the chances of it being hacked are lower and most hacked gen 6 are japanese.
Shiny legendaries of previous gens are most often RNG'd or generated. Both are completely legit in every way but acquisition. So if you don't care about how the pokemon was acquired go ahead. If you really care about that little then it'll take way longer to get a dex. However there are plenty of gaffers that have clones of legit pokemon that would trade. If you even don't want a clone there are gaffers with the means to get pokemon.

Can goomy or sliggoo be found in these games or are they XY exclusive?

I'm conflicted. I have enough points for a $20 off pre-owned game coupon at Gamestop, so I'm thinking I should wait for someone to trade it in... But I like having the game digitally...
Decisions.
By the way, how quickly can I import my Pokémon from the bank?
I imported a couple of guys right after the first gym so at least that early.

After helping Wally catch his first Pokemon, you get the PlayNavi which lets you trade.

Got Cosplay Pikachu.
Doubt I'll ever use it though.

Still trying to work it out but around 400-500, yeah. Dealing with the Mirage Islands will take a while to get confirmations of locations rather than nulled data. Currently, I have ~450 accounted for across both versions
Cool, thanks.

Everything but (most) Event-exclusive legends.

Gen 6 is probably the best time to actually work on a living dex to store in the bank. Cause that living dex will most likely save you a ton of time in the future
If you meant between OR/AS and X/Y, it's actually more like 700. Version exclusives lower this by a fair amount, but 650+ is still probably doable if you only get one of each pair. You can use the GTS to trade for the version exclusives anyway.
This is my plan
I was too lazy to do it in XY

Got my games and all the POTIONS I'll ever need.
It's such a shame that it's a unique Pokemon.
So wanted a Flying Press Physical Pikachu.

They are conceptually the same as White, just with more polish, better graphics, and more quality of life stuff. More Pokemon too, obviously. XY and ORAS are equally good to start with, but ORAS has the hype going for it right now. I'd go with that.
Anecdotal evidence: I didn't find Black/White to be as fun as the previous games, but I thought X/Y were great. But the basic gameplay is pretty much the same, so if you didn't like the battle system and catching Pokémon then it probably isn't for you.

Depends. What didn't you like about White? The formula is the same but maybe the different region and pacing will make it more enjoyable.
For what it's worth I hated Black/White but liked X/Y enough.

So, I've been thinking..
If there is a Delta Emerald or whatever, where will it fit?
2015 - Z - I'm 50% sure we'll see a Z next year. Not sure it'll be a sequel or not.
2016 - Kanto Remakes - Have to cash in on the 20th anniversary, I could totally see Game Freak doing their beloved Kanto again.
2017? - Wouldn't we be ready to move on to Gen VII by then? (onward to Sinnoh Remakes too?)
Hmm...

Aw man... You get the Eon Flute only after beating the legendary?!? Lame... Now I'll have to rush through the game and get it! (I want to Soar across Hoenn so badly! >_<)

Its probably not going to happen. ORAS already has everything you'd expect from an updated Hoenn except BF. Rayquayza even got a new plotline dedicated to it so a third version would be pointless storywise.
Hard to say really, but I'm willing to give pokemon another go. So I should just jump straight into ORAS?
