Ugh it sure seems like it, Awful.
Actually, it seems like all of the status effects are insanely effective in this game.

Yeah, I saw someone say that it was just like Lumiose a few days ago and I got scared and then when I got there I saw that it was a super easy to figure out square. I like the change, makes the city feel more unique.
From what I've heard: he does show back up after E4 if you faint him during the story.
Ahh great thanks

Do you still get safari balls and can you dexnav? I've always wanted HA Xatu in a Safari ball...
No special balls, you use your own balls and have access to your Pokemon and DexNav like it's every other route.
Also, May finally has her 2nd tier evo. goty.

*sigh* What is with Game Freak's apparent hatred of the Safari Zone these days?

Can you take images? Would love to see it. (Especially since I don't like shiny Groudon)
When? Kirlia's problem is that it's frail, so its inability to do damage is getting it KO'd by things way lower than it.
My Kirlia is 21, BTW. It learns Psychic @ level 30. I just looked at this thing's base stats and they're appalling. No wonder I've been having so much trouble.
Yeah, once I caught the pokemon just outside of Slateport I left that place alone. Paralysis triggers 90% if they either have a move that may inflict it or an ability that does the same. Incredibly annoying. And yeah, confusion is worse than I remember it.
I can only use my phone to take a picture but its basically black and gold. Same with Kyogre. The vomit yellow Shiny Groudon is a crap colour however hahah

Are you kidding me? Can someone please explain to me how a 2014 remake of Hoenn is worse in many aspects than a 3rd version from 2004?
"Original Safari Zone in R/S/E was too complicated and required lots of exploration, we didn't want newcomers to feel frustrated by it" is what I'd expect to hear from GF to be honest.

Yup, it comes in a regular ball.

Hey, the fact that this game seems to be less content-rich than Emerald is a significant problem, but the Safari Zone is not part of that. Taking away the old, unintuitive Safari Zone mechanics is only a positive.

Here is a video of them all battling in shiny form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1tN__dB8EE
Kyogre looks like an orca now, which is amazing. And the spectacle from their evolution animations and signature moves... I never imagined Pokemon would look this good.
Just a few years back we were still stuck with this garbage.

From the sound of it they might as well have removed the place entirely and moved its Pokemon to different routes.
You mean IVs?
Yep, indeed I did!
Just reset the game - I'm going to try for a better one. >_<
Edit: Aaaaaaand my second attempt has a 0/1/2 IV speed. I think the game is just trolling me at this point.
Thank you very much, came here just for this. My son's birthday is today and he just came down stairs VERY upset because he misjudged and killed Groudon. He did not want to start over.
He saved after because you could battle the legendary again in X and Y and that was his first Pokemon game.

Goddamnit I really wish that you get a dawn stone early in this game because kirlia is a passenger right now.
I already have a gallade all IV'd and EV'd up from XY anyway, but goddamnit I will get this kirlia evolved even if it kills me!

You can get Solar Beam with the Mach bike I think. You need

That's awesome as hell. It's like he's made out of Basalt.Serebii has this tiny picture of Shiny Primal Groudon. It's badass!
After 8 SRs I'm just gonna stick with this Timid Latias (thank you based Synchronise):
HP - 30
Att- 4,5,6
Def- 30
Sp. Def- 30,31
Sp. Att - 31
Spd - 30,31
Not bad at all imo and I wasnt gonna run a physical set on Latias anyway. Already EV training it to max speed but not yet sure how I should cover the rest. Do I go go all put attacker or actually put some bulk on her. Decisions, decisions...

Sigh. I guess my Modest Sceptile will have to remain physical based for now. >.<
A physical MSceptile is actually pretty interesting. It's a shame to lose the 145 base SpA, but Sceptile gets so many useful physical moves and Swords Dance, and 110 Attack is not that bad. Don't know if it's worth the Mega slot though.
edit: Actually, where's the best place to farm Heart Scales before the E4?
And that is the reason I believe IVs are stupid but oh well, I won't keep bringing it up because I know GF won't take them out of future games.

Will get.
You can get Grass Knot in Fortree if that helps
Otherwise physical Sceptile can be pretty good. You can buy Power-Up Punch which I think he can learn, and you can get Dragon Claw just before the E4Spinosaurus

An example of why having tweets set to auto is a bad plan:

There were 250 given out and the line was already over 150 long at 4am.
Did you walk diagonally?
Took me 13ish mins before I realised I could ......

I noticed that serebii's site says that you start off with Accuracy and Speed O-Power.
I have neither and instead have Capture Power.

Are shiny pokemon easier to catch now or something?

Has anyone figured out the differences between medals in routes on the Dex Nav? I have a couple of gold medals, but also several bronze ones.
I didn't start with either of those powers either, also had capture power.
I think it's because more Pokemon appear once you get the National Dex. Not sure though
