Damn this DexNav. This is the first time I've actually bothered catching lots of Pokemon, and looking for a Minun in Route 110 is infuriating. Has anyone had any success in Alpha Sapphire?
Use Sweet Scent to find Plusle hordes, which will occasionally have Minun in them. I found that was easier, plus it increases your DexNav levels for Plusle and Magnemite really fast.
Oddish on the same route has Sweet Scent if you don't have it.

They took a game not designed for Exp Share and slapped Exp Share onto it.
So yeeeeeeah....
There is trick that i hope they will never change: You can trade with yourself on the GTS.
I trade them right back and laugh every time both of us are sending a Zigzagoon to the other.

Okay, tested hoard training in this game. Weather does not affect Sweet Scent anymore. Hooray! 100% chance of hoards for that EV appearing:
Speed: Route 104
Attack: Mt. Pyre, inside
Def: Route 111
Sp.A: Route 119
Sp.D: Route 115
HP: That cave in Verdanturf town
So yeah, it's even better than XY. No Sturdy to deal with either. Pretty happy with EV training speed now.

Nice! This will be pretty convenient. I never had any sort of qualms with XY speed, so this is just a boon.

Looks like it's going to be easier to horde iv train, awesome.

Hooray! Never done a swarm battle before, caught a Minun at long last.
What does this mean? I encountered a swarm of Magnemite and two of them had Sturdy.

that sounds like a plan for the items.
it'd be safer to trade with myself using my 3DSs but I own X and AS digitally on the same system ;_;
I just got to Mauville recently and what the hell happened? It's not even a city anymore. It's more like a half mall half apartment complex. It just feels so out of place, if they were going to expand any city I feel like Slateport would've been a better fit.
Made me kind of sad when I found this, but it was a really nice detail for them to add.
went exploring around the mini mall and saw this

None of the hoardes I listed in that post have Sturdy so you don't have to deal with it when EV Training.
Whereas in XY you sometimes had to deal with that when training for Defense so if you didn't have a Mold Breaker mon you could get annoyed quickly.

Want to normal trade for my Zigzagoon; he's pretty dope.
What do you mean by that? Is it like a normal GTS trade or is there some sort of trick?
I want to trade in all of my battle items and mega stones (I know you can get all of them in ORAS).

This post E4 cutscene appears to be giving me a clear view of Whismur's asshole.
I wish I didn't sell my other 3DS now...
Does the Diancie event still happen if you use the bank to transfer her?

Yep, transferred mine just fine. Just walk out and then back into a Pokemon Center when loading up AS or OR after transferring it.
no trick. just a normal GTS trade.

Does this have the annoying Soccer Balloon Training from Pokemon X/Y? I hated that shit so much, because as a first time Pokemon player, I didn't understand it at all. I want my Pokemon to be at their strongest, but having to grind the Soccer Balloons (that's what I call them, don't judge me) along with the usual levels and shit was too much.

Just look up EV training guides if you don't want to use Super Training as they pretty much have the same results just different methods.
Super Training is completely unnecessary for the main game, just don't bother with it.

Super Training would be a fun alternative to Horde Training when you're feeling burnt out or something if only the gains were better. It's just so slow the way it is now that it gets monotonous and frustrating really fast.

Having my Roserade with Petal Blizzard absolutely wrecks every water pokemon in the way. One shotted Mega Sharpedo even being 2 levels lower.
edit: Yay, Kyogre in a Premier Ball. Got it on my last ball lol.

so its still the same for this as well? bummer.
Exp. Share does not magically make the game significantly easier. It's a Pokemon game...
All I needed were Sceptile and Sharpedo. The old Exp. Share would've had the same results in that situation. The games are only ever really difficult if you either go in without really knowing what you're doing, or because you self-impose rules to make it so. Not really sure what people are expecting or why they're expecting it lol.

If you raised 6 Pokemon evenly in past Pokemon games then the games were generally a good difficulty, not too easy but not too hard as long as you didn't skip a lot of battles.
Otherwise yeah, the games are really easy if you raise even 5 instead of 6.

Gender is determined when the egg is generated which is when you grab the egg from the daycare man/boy.
Normal trade, put a pokemon that you can spare on the GTS and ask for the pokemon you want to transfer, then give the item you want to pokemon you are sending to oras and enjoy.

So... what does my pokemon hopping at the start of the battle mean?
It's only generated WHEN you grab the egg. So you can save before taking the egg and SR that way.

You did some Pokemon Amie, so it gets some benefits in-battle I think.

...Considering that I RNG'd in old games by utilizing this, I want to know what the hell I was on when I made that post.

Screenshots PLEASE
The starters would almost always end up overleveling the games for my games. Main game has never been hard, more of just a story to walk through while building a team.
I do hope there is an actual World Series or Frontier in this though, somewhere.
