You could get Manaphy in all three Ranger games. No excuse. :<

(Ranger 2 was AWESOME)

I ignored the ranger games. It's on me I know. I have a spare Xerneas to trade for it Possibly a spare celebi or mew as well.

Best game ever.

My brother.

Game's gonna be a few days late, but I'm saving ten bucks, so I'm not complaining. Looking forward to playing through, gonna leave all the IV's by the wayside and just focus on having fun.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Yay order shipped, should be here tomorrow. Thanks free holiday shipping and release day delivery Best Buy -cheesy thumbs up-

 

[spiritfox]

Why not?

Oh yeah, you can use Latias/Latios.

But don't you have to keep them in your team?

I think you just need the Eon Flute.

I can't wait for the Eon Axe and Hammer.

 

[Bladelaw]

I've heard it a few times where the intent is to be able to get all Pokémon between the 3DS games. I can't remember where I've heard it, exactly, but I know I've heard it multiple times, and with the way things look, I'm more an more inclined to think it's truly possible.

I need this info. I'm so close. I almost have the dream.

 

[Maintenance]

So, how soon can I use the Pokebank?

 

[MaximumSpider]

I don't know if I should go to midnight launch for both this and Smash.
I live next to my GameStop but still I probably won't be up playing it.

Was just about to ask this... I kinda want to abuse the system a bit and use Pokébank/reset to get all the starters and a couple extra Beldums... >_> Yes, I'm greedy.

"Between #PokemonXY and Pokémon #OmegaRuby and #AlphaSapphire, you can catch every Legendary Pokémon known to date!"

EDIT: Wait, that's just legendaries... I have to search a bit more... (I should have known it wouldn't have been so easy!)

GOT IT!

Nonetheless, producer Junichi Masuda and director Shigeru Ohmori have now explained that getting your hands on all 719 of these critters is not as Farfetch'd as it used to be, as this is achievable within just the Hoenn and Kalos regions. Here&#8217;s an extract from an interview with GameXplain:
[The Soar ability] allows you to land in places you can&#8217;t normally walk or Surf to. And in these new places, you&#8217;ll encounter a lot of new Pokémon, not previously seen in the Hoenn region that you can catch. What this does for us, is it allows players who only have the 3DS games &#8211; being X and Y, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire &#8211; to complete the National Pokédex with just the two different series of games.

I'm ready, are you?

 

[Charlie0108]

Is Shaymin catchable in this? Only Pokemon I don't own

 

[MaximumSpider]

Probably not since it's an event Pokemon.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Nice OT! Picking AS up whenever Best Buy opens on Friday.

 

[PadWarrior]

I want to know this as well

 

[Charlie0108]

That's annoying. Even though I don't need it to get a Shiny Charm it still annoys me that I have one gap in my Living Dex!

 

[Hot Coldman]

look at all those not-gen-3 Pokemon. Throh!

 

[harmonize]

You can probably find somebody in the XY community thread that'd be willing to trade you one.

 

[solidarity]

I'm ready, are you?

Good find. I have never filled the National Dex because of how many games it required despite playing them all but I may just have to go for it this time around.

 

[Winterfang]

You get a Mega!

You get a Mega!

That's not a mega, it didn't had any Mega animation.

You can not deposit Cosplay Pikachu into Pokemon bank.

Back when it first announced I called it being this gens spiky Eared-Pichu...I din;t want to be right.

Lame, Hopefully they find a way to let you transfer them to Gen VII or put them in that Gen.

Sooo... Been trying to keep away from spoilers, but saw this thing about Hoopa:

This is too crazy... Why can't Hoopa and Volcarion be out already? :/

I hope

Volcanion

gets a boss ass new form or Mega in the next game.

 

[Dysun]

I'm still torn on Omega Ruby vs Alpha Sapphire.

On the one hand, Groudon looks awesome. But I played Ruby back in the day and want to see Team Aqua.

 

[podracer35]

Neither have I, but I have enough that I reasonably could do it in X/Y, but I'm just too lazy to try... But ORAS hype might be enough to get me to try and finish again. (I already have almost all the legends, I'm just missing Xerneas and Zygarde.)

Pick the Mascot you like better / don't have.

The villainous teams are only moderately different and ultimately a very small part of the experience.

Thanks for the love, Nintendo.

Nintendo punishing everyone in EU, because somebody somewhere broke the street release date. Thanks for the love, indeed...

 

[Blue Ninja]

Heh, it's so weird hearing Galade and Glalie spoken out loud. I always use the "ah" sound, so for me it's "Galahde" and "Glahlie".

EDIT: And "Rayquahza". :lol

Ironically, the game still managed to leak early in Spain(EDIT: derp meant Mexico) and the US. Until the day nintendo removes region locking, I hope to God Nintendo doesn't punish us again.

I had Ruby when that came out and am now getting Alpha Sapphire. I've replayed Ruby so many times that I need something at least new.

 

[cafemomo]

who alpha sapphire here

 

[Growlie19]

Getting Alpha Sapphire tonight! Treecko and I are going to conquer Hoenn! No idea on the rest of my team, but that's part of the fun.

LMAO, so I was right with my prediction...

Good job Nintendo.

I'll repost what I put in the review thread. If anyone wants to add it to the OP...(as this will be a frequently asked question)
Besides everyone knows Europe is getting it later because (choose one):
-of preventing leaks (clearly worked...) [grass type]
-the eShop can't handle the stress of 3 regions [fire type]
-Masuda can personally attend the eon ticket launch event in the UK [water type]

The twitter account showed a US box though.

 

[BY2K]

The Mewtwonite Y is WHERE!?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Hmm...you fight Aqua in Ruby, right?

 

[Trey]

so what are the odds that the next Pokemon game has a framerate that's not embarrassing?

 

[-Horizon-]

Hmm...you fight Aqua in Ruby, right?

Yes. And in Sapphire you fight Magma.

 

[MegaMelon]

The twitter account showed a US box though.

Hmm, well it was sold in a Mexican place apparently, I'll see if I can find the tweet.

so what are the odds that the next Pokemon game has a framerate that's not embarrassing?

To be fair it's only with the 3d on that it gets atrocious. Normal battles and the overworld are ok.

 

[podracer35]

Yes. And in Sapphire you fight Magma.

Think you got it backwards... Unless that's the joke. >_>

[weaKwillO]

The Mewtwonite Y is WHERE!?

While watching a stream, the streamer picked it up outside the Ever Grande Pokemon League lobby to the left in Omega Ruby.

 

[DXLelouch153]

Inside the Battle Maison, there's a person mentioning that he's scouted the Pike Queen and questions if anyone matches Scott's standards

its coming
either in this game or the next but its comin
get ready to have your revenge folks

 

[solidarity]

Has there been any word if trading is possible between XY and ORAS or is it a one way transfer only?

 

[Gabeking]

Anyone know if mirage island is making a return?

 

[Crayolan]

Has there been any word if trading is possible between XY and ORAS or is it a one way transfer only?

There is zero reason to believe it's a one way transfer, you just can't send Mega stones back.

 

[podracer35]

Has there been any word if trading is possible between XY and ORAS or is it a one way transfer only?

They're the same gen, so trading is possible... I don't know if there are any restrictions on certain items, but I don't think so.

EDIT: Darn, beaten...

 

[GamerKingFaiz]

Does anyone know if the dual pack comes with two physical copies or two codes to download?

I'd imbed the image, but it's HUGE! O_O Dunno how to code and make it smaller.. EDIT: Thanks for the tip! ^_^;

Box looks like physical copies... Dual pack download codes would be lame.

True, I bet there will be codes for the extra potions though. I doubt they made a special cartridge with the extra potions built in.

Gonna be great since I didn't really play the hoenn region.

However this also meand Gen 7 with the sinnoh remakes will be glorious
