I don't know why you'd use Destiny Bond, lol. Do you want it to die?
Does Gard or Gallade ever even need such a move?
Yeah, you're right. Is there any perfect ralts I could get ?

Depends if you think it'll be useful.
I settled on an Encore Ralts though I imagine a Shadow Sneak one would be useful if one was aiming to have their Ralts become a Gallade.
You can look at Ralts Egg Moves and see if there's one you want.
Can you get Shadow Sneak from NexNav? That's the only thing I can think of being a pain in the ass to get otherwise since its an egg move.

Flame Burst Electrike within 20 minutes of starting the search. Feels good to have a decent fire attack on something
And it has lightningrod so I'm going to wreck that electric gym. Time to level this thing up a few times and get ready to move on!
Team so far after 2 badges: 17 Marshstomp, 18 Shroomish, 16 Taillow, 11 Electrike

Hmm, I need some money. Time to wrestle Winston into submission once more.

All my pokemon in my party have pokerus.

Nice, if I were you I would put one on the box to save it for later.
Tell me about it, I'm using a Metang and this thing eats XP like nothing is happening.
Tell me about it, just got finished training up my Gardevoir and now I got a random wonder trade super Ralts... so I have to do it again, lol.

I initially only had one pokemon in my party witn pokerus now my whole team is infected.

Ok, I just arrived at Mauville and I have ti say: Wow, they went all out on the re desing of the city. Hats off to GF for it, it's really nice.

Yeah, the virus acts like that. I said that before because while in the box the time on the virus does not go down, so you can infect more later on if you want. While infected, pokemon with Pokerus gain x2 the EVs, but maybe you already know that.

I had a feeling they modernized the city! Couldn't recognize how the city differed at first after playing RSE so long ago

I assumed it was a pun.
I doubt the English name factored into the decision to remake the city as a mall.

Get rekt, Wally.
Fake Edit: Wow, c'mon, you're embarassing me in front of all those people. Get a grip son, we're not inside an anime.
Real Edit: FFS, leave my chair alone, you rude kids.

Alright, happy with my Cosplay Pikachu now.
252 Atk / 252 Speed / 6 Sp. Atk
HP's a little low, but eh, about as good as I'll get.
Going for Thunder / Meteor Mash or Icicle Crash (or Flying Press for fun) / Return / Thunder Wave or Grass Knot.
Not too bad.

Wow, if not for DexNav, I would've never entertained the idea of using Poochyena in a run. Love that it's giving me incentive to diversify my ingame teams a little more.

So I was SR for a good IV Latias and I just got this : 30, 31 / 30, 31 / 31 / 24, 25, 26 / 30, 31 / 30, 31. Should I keep it or keep going?

Anyone else not like the new Mauville City redisign? Feels so boxed off and out of place in a game that emphasizes the natural environment.

In all my years of playing Pokemon, gym 4 and 5 were probably the fastest I ever beat two gyms in a row. Like wow, I just finished Flannery and here I am at Norman's gym.

Hey guys, I've a question, does this game have an evolution stones seller? And if so where?
Nightcrown
Member
I think I'm gonna keep it since I'm a bit tired of SR and the IV's aren't bad. I just wished the IV for Attack and Sp.A were switched but oh well.

bump! I want to evolve my kirlia into a Gallade ASAP!
You've got a ways to go, unfortunately. An item ball past the 6th gym has a Light Ball, or you can Thief them off wild Pikachu in the Safari Zone, also post-Winona. Depending on how patient you are, you might want to trade one in anyways.
As for me, I just beat Tate and Liza. Before I continue the story, I'm going back and catching things in hordes and with the Super Rod. Up to 90 total caught. Currently rocking a Sceptile, Tentacruel, Ninetales, and Medicham. Still thinking of a fifth teammate....

Yeah, the Sp.A could be better, but the other stats being all 30-31 should help a lot, IMO.

Worse since the background is more animated-->taking up more resources while in 3D so framerate suffers.
The core game is generally the same, but balanced far better (Megas aside) with the Physical and special split and dramatic adjustments to movesets. Far more of the Hoenn Dex is viable now, with Pokemon like Crawdaunt, Manectric and Flygon actually being usable. Reports are saying that the game is also a bit harder than the originals without EXP share. (Though the game gives some very...interesting freebies to compensate.)
If you absolutely hated it, there's only so much that can be salvaged, but if you were just ambivalent to them it's worth giving the region a second chance.
I'm not really liking it though the roof area is nice.
Hiccups during battles when it does the split screen thing (in 2D).

So it looks like Gamefreak did something interesting with the Meteor Falls section of the game:
instead of the battles being in 3D and the overworld being in 2D, they switched it around. Weird!

After 80+ soft resets and zero modest or timid natures, I decided my copy of Alpha Sapphire was defective. That and the fact that the 3DS suddenly started to shut off the moment I put game in the card slot.
With the new copy, I got a modest Treecko on the first try. Amazing how these things work.
I got to say though, the online rant/vent on poor luck and then suddenly getting what you want usually works.

So I defeated the breeder with 6 pokemons, then his friend. When I went back to leave, the first one wanted a rematch. Did that, and right after the second one wanted a rematch.
The ride never ends.

If it stayed faithful to RS shouldn't there be one by Mossdeep who will give it to you in exchange for shards

Same here. I think it's great that it's giving us egg moves since it's a great boon in move diversity at the start. Like running around with a Play Rough Poochyena.
It's also great for breaking the game, Brave Bird Taillow~

I didn't save before getting Latias and didn't feel like it was worth replaying the hour that had past since I'd saved. Not when the first roll I got was pretty good--Timid 31/0/20/15/31/31--and I prefer not to battle with legendaries anyway.
