Currently heading to Fortree City. My current team is:

Metang
Vigoroth (HM Slave)
Grumpig


I've been WT-ing to get something new to rotate in but I haven't found anything interesting. Lol...

 

[MrCookiepants]

Aw, no hidden ability Snorunt in this game?

 

[Arclaid]

It was night time when I got Uxie if memory serves.

Guess I'll just keep checking back periodically.

can you re-fight trainers in this game? And what are some post game activities? Other than Delta.

Yep, you can re-battle trainers.The AreaNav has an option to view which trainers want a rematch (which is pretty often, I think?). Regarding post-game stuff (aside from Delta) it's mainly Battle Resort and some mega stones.

DexNav it in Shoal Cave

 

[MaximumSpider]

Beat Delta Episode.
Now to take a short break from the game.

 

[MrCookiepants]

DexNav it in Shoal Cave

I tried, it wouldn't work. Are you sure it's possible?

 

[JoeM86]

100%. You just need to keep trying. It becomes more likely the more Snorunt you encounter

 

[Antiwhippy]

I have a whole bunch of moody snorunts.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Not all dexnav pokemon have ha. Might need to hunt a bit

 

[MrSaturn99]

I still can't believe they never properly expanded on the Trainer's Eye feature. Makes the game feel that much more organic.

 

[Impala26]

Throwing it out there...

Does anyone need Pokerus?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Just note that you need a fairly high search level for HA to show up somewhat frequently. Around 20.

 

[MrCookiepants]

No I meant there was no option to use DexNav down there. I clicked on Snorunt on the touch screen and the search button was missing. :/

Let me try again.

Edit: ohhh. I was trying to do it in the icy area. It definitely doesn't work there, but you can find Snorunt on the upper levels in the remakes I guess...

oh my god I forgot how hilarious the dewford trends were

"cry of the potion festival" ahahahahaha

Do trends do anything this time round?

What is the highest level pokemon of the champion in the first run of the E4? Just the level.

 

[Azuran]

Is there any difference between DexNav and Friend Safari or can I safely delete people from my friends that are still only there because they have a Tropius one?

lawl
Was thinking about this exact same thing. I ended up with a friends list where I have almost 100 people and I only know like, 6 of them personally, haha XD

I heard someone claim that Exp.Share got their team into the early 30's after the Wattson fight, it most definetly has an effect. Exp. Share during main story really isn't necessary at all unless you want to speed through to the postgame.

Eh, they probably did some level of grinding (either by catching stuff or re-battling trainers). I'm at Mauville Mall and my team is near level 30, but at the same time Exp Share makes it a lot easier to have a Pokemon play catch up instead of devoting yourself to just raising it.

3 hours. 3 freaking hours spent on Granite Cave hunting a Prankster Sableye with Recover.

The layout is terrible and on top of that there's that freaking NPC that won't-stop-moving scaring half of my dexnav pokes.

Never again.

Yeah that was what I was feeling trying to get a decent Aron. That cave sucks and DexNav is completely unoptimized for caves.

You're kidding me, I already have a 65 one and I just got past the 5th gym.

 

[Velcro Fly]

God damn that stupid bug where the game in your first slot on streetpass just doesn't get tags. I got a few that I know have it activated for ORAS and get nothing.

 

[Impala26]

^^^This is precisely why I turned EXP Share off IMMEDIATELY when I got it, because this was pretty much my X&Y experience, lol

I remember getting the event Torchic almost to level 90+ on my first run, lol.

It's actually level

The Pokémon series could really do with separate difficulty modes or a variation of that.

Challenge mode, they did that already in B2/W2. But, as always, Game Freak giveth and Game Freak taketh away.

Challenge Mode was a great idea if Gamefreak didn't make it terrible to actually get it.

I almost did a master race joke, but then I remembered the name of the games. Yeah, it would be awkward.

 

[Rnr1224]

Just caught primal groudon and am now headed to fight the final gym leader! Groudon was tough to catch because of that stupid rest move. Considered beating him then going back later to rebattle him but I'm glad I could get it done now.

 

[JoeM86]

Challenge Mode was such a superficial "difficulty". AI barely improved and the level increase was irrelevant by Gym 2 as your Pokémon gained experience to match it.

we need a procedegurly generated Pokemon game
because why the fuck not

 

[WhirlwindMonk]

Dang, I did not expect that secret base trainer to open up with a mega Metagross on level with my party. Wiped out half my party before I finally took it out. Do the secret base trainers level with you, or are they stuck at 30/35?

 

[Finalow]

and here I am day one buying yet another remake and yet another pokemon game. yes I'm part of the problem but I can't help it.

oh, I even got the steelbox edition, yes I did.

I don't see any problems here, but I'm envious of those steelbooks.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Which is why they should've improved it instead of throwing it out. But I suppose that was too much effort.

I want a hard mode in pokemon games so much

 

[Velcro Fly]

lol the pokemon breeder on route 117 got my swablu confused, paralyzed, and in love all at the same time. Seriously fuck this game sometimes with status.

 

[Letep]

I'm way early in, but how do you turn on experience share?

 

[Ultima_5]

It's automatically turned on when yiu get it

I put Dewford on to them Miracle Seed Qualities ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) #smokeweederryday

Ah, ok. Didn't realize it was a TM or whatever.

Thanks!

 

[Merovin]

Nice my copies got delivered today (UK here), time to jump in and catch up!

it's only been a year but somehow i forgot about how neat PSS is

it's pretty neat

 

[Velcro Fly]

Just got wrecked in a secret base by a level 25 Sceptile with

Grass Pledge
X-Scissor
Hidden Power that was super effective against Swablu
Mega Drain

It seriously would have taken 3 flame bursts from my Manectric to kill it.

Also the RNG in this game continues to hate me.

Hurt in confusion
Hurt in confusion
Dead to critical hit

lol i can't imagine the odds of that happening

I'm guessing you mean Grovyle? That's similar to the set I'm running on mine, but I replaced X-Scissor with Earthquake.

Nah it was Sceptile. I'm pretty sure in secret bases the pokemon stay the same but the levels scale down.

I'm fighting a level 25 Latias right now. Ouch

I bought a digital copy of OR from the Australian eShop on my spare 3DS (because I'm European) and I just transferred my main account and NNID over. Turns out I can already re-download it. Awesome!
