Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire |OT| Hoenn Finally Confirmed

Went today and hit both Gamestops within close proximity of each other. (Long way to walk, but once down that way worth hitting both.) So glad I didn't have to work today. Had my husband in tow to get extra cards too. Got four total. One for myself and two already spoken for. Extra is going to Hegarol, so I hope you folks still looking for one can find someone with extras. :)

What's funny is the one in the mall, I asked the dude for it and he was like "What?" I repeated and he goes "Oh yeah, I guess that did come out today." Had to go in back and drag out the box with them in it. Was almost worried they didn't have them in yet.


Edit: Had a facepalm moment. Get on Alpha Sapphire to claim my Dragonite. Get to PC and get told "Here is your Amaura!" What the hell? That Amaura I thought a while back I magically lost? Apparently I never even collected it. Just put in the code and figured I'd get it one day after farming Latias. (Which I'm still not done with, but figured I'd pick up my Dragonite.) Whoops. LOL.

Wish I had more Dragonite codes now haha. :( Didn't realize so many folks would be seeking them out. I might have tried to sneak out a couple more from the GameStop guys.

I think I just got one of the worst Dragonites known to man. Not going for anything crazy, but Hasty seemed interesting. Checked its' IVs and ended up with:

2 - 3 / 3 - 4 / 16 / 8 - 9 / 4 - 5 / 0 - 1

The hell is that abomination of IVs. I'm not usually a stickler on IVs on things like this, but that is just god awful. Time to restart because that above is just.... no.


By the way, is this Dragonite only female or can it be male or female? (I realize it's probably tied to the WC, just wondering if male is possible or if it's locked to female only.)

Edit: Nevermind. Guess it can be either one depending what it attaches to your WC. Claiming a Dragonite for a GAFer now and it's coming up as male.
 
Okay, back on.

I found some shiny with shit IVs (only 3 max ones) stuffed in the corner of a box that I don't care about so you can have that one.

EDIT: "The server is currently undergoing maintenance"

I have plenty. I'm also on right now, breeding Foonguss and trying not to scream. STOP TROLLING ME YOU FUCKS.

Yes!! What is it with that. Get online to trade someone while you're breeding and all the trolls come and start requesting a trade. Had that happen other day breeding Swirlix. I couldn't wait to get offline, because it was ridiculous.

Fudge. Just realized yall were talking about maint. Uggggggggghhhhh.

lol

I meant that the Foonguss themselves were trolling me. Been stuck with a 3IV forever; whenever I get a 4 IV or better it has motherfucking Effect Spore. Stupid fucks.

Ahhh, LOL. Well I feel like folks online troll me these days. Requests up the arse. I tend not to be online anymore. Random trades and stuff. Not even sure why, I don't say in my note I want to trade anything.

I've been putting off Foongus. Thing will probably end up trolling me harder than Ponyta did.

Speaking of trolling, did you ever get that shiny Latias?

Nope. That golden jerk is still trolling me. Went for hours last night as well. Swear to god... if that thing shows up... I might just die of a heart attack.

Why do you do this to yourself Muku? Some things in life are just not meant to be.

Because I need legit* ones for my shiny dex. Since I've long completed the normal one, I need something else to do. :( At this rate though I'll never finish ORAS. Hahahaha!


* Not just legit, but would prefer my name as OT too. I'm weird. :(

Edit: Not going to lie, I can't wait until this jerk shows up Shiny so I can use the Eon Ticket for Latios. That's going to be a hell of a lot easier if I can just encounter, run, encounter, run. I don't even care about Latias nature/IVs anymore. (Though run a dead Ralts at start, so it'll show up as Timid.)

That Ray/Zard one is awesome. I kind of wish I had yen on my 3DS so I could have a Charizard theme on my JPN console. :(

"Do you think this is a motherfucking game?"

OMG LOL. I refresh page as I took a bit gulp of water... x_x

And yeah, Latias knows this is some serious shit now. We stare eye to eye for hours in evening. She always gets the last laugh.


On a side note, for folks who are legendary shiny hunting what balls do yall tend to roll with ? I'll be using a Master Ball on something along the way, not sure when, but was wondering best way. I have a Masterball or two left over from some past stuff I may bring up to ORAS for this, but need a plan for others because I doubt I'll have enough. I don't want to risk losing a shiny anything at this point.

I think repeat balls with Capture-O power are the second best balls after master balls if you already have the data on your Pokedex (which I'm assuming you do).

I think I've transferred my living Pokedex to AS, but I'll have to check. If not, I definately should. How do you even go about getting O-powers in ORAS? I've not even bothered to look. I just like how in XY they were easy and I ended up getting them before knowing how useful they were in beginning.

Good to know on Repeat Balls with Capture-O though, so thank you. To be honest I usually stock up on Pokeballs and run through whole game with them. (Sometimes a small pile of Great Balls in case, with even fewer Ultra Balls in tow.) I'm a simple kinda person I guess. Haha.

Not that it matters much but based on what I've researched in the old games, Mew cannot get two XD exclusive moves. I bring it up due to QR threads on reddit and etc...

But again it doesn't matter much.

IIRC, you don't need to get the Capture Power, its avaliable from the beginning

In ORAS it's easier than in XY because you just go to the Mauville Pokecenter and talk to a dude. When the dude leaves you exit, reenter, and talk to the new dude there. Once you go through all the dudes you go to Mauville Hills and talk to the dudes again, then the guy with low self-esteem across the hall, and then back to the dudes, and then there's a cutscene and then you get the Hatching Power.

Whereas in XY you had to go to all the places and then you had to fucking grind up style points or whatever in Lumiose, which was fucking hell if you didn't know you could just buy balls one at a time and instead did it the "normal" way.

Wow I didn't know O-powers worked like that, mainly because I never used them.

I should use this later today when going after the regi's in ORAS.

You'll need to level it up to Lv. 3 first for maximum effect. Just go online every half an hour or so and use the power on random strangers to level up as quickly as possible.

Cool, thank you. Didn't realize it was situated in that one area.

I didn't mind XY honestly. Because I never really used any O-Powers until I beat the game. And even then only one I really worked on at all was Hatching. Though think I got EXP up online just by tossing it to passerbys for giggles. Of course by then I hadn't gotten style points in Lumiose, but was already up there a bit with working in hotel I guess. The Pokeball thing I'd read about... after I bought several hundred en masse. Ugh.

Maybe it depends on how fast you are rushing through the game, or your style of play. I am just playing Y normally and have enough style without trying.
 
When playing through Y I went ahead and maxed out my style points before getting to the 2nd gym. Why?

Because I could.

EDIT: What I did was buy a ton of balls individually.

On my X I did everything you could in Lumiose and that still wasn't enough to max out my style.

Those times are Eastern.

I'm currently 10-0 in the International Challenge but don't know if I'll have time the rest of the weekend :(

Totally did not deserve my last win. I timed out while thinking but then got bailed out by a WoW miss and double Protect which allowed me to get a win condition on timer.

4-1 right now on the challenge but I seriously need a break after that last match I just had. Having my Kangaskhan survive with 2HP after getting hit by a Dragon Claw, Rough Skin, and recoil was amazing as hell. I want to enjoy that high for a bit.

Also, I hate Amoonguss. That annoying shroom is everywhere this time.
