FEAR tactic is always my favourite in free battles. Yes I'm well aware that it's probably a 7 year old on the other end.
Am I doing it wrong if I'm constantly swapping all my Pokemon in to get experience in battle? It seems to make it take forever, but I want all of my little guys to level up.

You're eventually going to get an item that kind of invalidates that approach, you'll know what I mean. It's still best to rotate your Pokemon out as the situation calls for it and to even out the experience. Some people complain that it becomes too easy to level up all of your Pokemon at the point where you get this item but I like to swap out other Pokemon from the Box at the Pokemon Center to mitigate that.
It's worth noting that in no time flat trainers will rebattle you if you talk to them. So it's super easy to train.

To be honest there really isn't a "wrong" way to play Pokemon, but what you're doing is actually normal. Unless you really mean all your Pokemon in general and not just your party of 6 then it's probably not worth it lol.
You get an item to help you with that soon. Keep progressing then after that, switch out and level a single Pokemon or 200 little critters to your hearts content.

Just send them out whenever you think its necessary, Hoenn offers a lot of opportunities to gain experience, especially around the area where the third gym is.
Torchic is the best starter imo
There are plenty of grass and water types in ORAS
Have fun! Remember to look at your map if you don't know where to go
And that random raccoon is going to be your best friend

At least its' only Diancie and Latias. At least you're not using a full team of legendaries.
Good luck! You have made the biggest and best decision in your life. Hopefully you love it enough to go down the rabbit hole like we all did.

Rabbit hole? More like black hole that is constantly growing consuming all things.
Once you get too deep, you're lost forever.

Welcome to the world of Pokemon! It's a fun little place. :3 I'd love to go back and be fresh at it again, picking up Pokemon randomly, not knowing what I ws doing. Good luck! Hope you have a lot of fun with it!
I was just trying it put it in nicer terms. You're right, but there's no need to scare the new guy... yet.

Thanks for all the info, guys
Yup, no problem. Here's a quick little primer about some of this game's gameplay elements
- it's pretty easy to learn the type advantages in this game but for reference here you go; an attack made by a Pokemon of the same type will do boosted damage
- Moves are either Physical
- DexNav can be used to locate Pokemon at higher than normal levels, Pokemon that have moves normally only obtainable by breeding, Pokemon with special abilities and heightened stat potential, etc. If you find a Pokemon you really like, try catching it once, and then doing repeat searches for it in DexNav (hit the Pokemon's icon then hit Search). After finding a Pokemon a few times DexNav will tell you its special qualities before you engage it.

Indeed, though I came in very much under leveled. I just about got destroyed by Steven's Metagross! I only won thanks to goodra and dat fire blast.
What's Dragon/Fairy and is it banned? lol

Dragon / Fairy is Mega Altaria.
Edit: Asking this as I'm editing my dual-type charts to submit to places for ORAS. Shoulda done this about a week ago. LOL.
It's against the law.
Just beat the game for the first time with the team:
-Tentacruel Lv. 52
-Hariyama Lv. 47
-Mightyena Lv. 51
-Graveler Lv. 45
-Vileplume Lv. 56
-Azumarill Lv. 46
The E4 was great, I loved the visual effects both in and out of battle and was pleasantly surprised to see they brought back the E4 level scaling that's been absent since 4th gen and even added some slight team updates. Steven was pretty tough, and is first trainer in gen 6 I had to try more than once to beat, though that might've been because I didn't have much to deal with Steel types. Now if only the whole game was like him.

Man hearing that you can transfer stuff from X/Y makes me so sad that I lost
the SD card with my game/save on a trip earlier this year....
RIP Shiny Aegislash.....

Eventually I am going to be obnoxious and ask for handouts from people so I can start rebuilding the team I had... ;p
Yup, that must be it.

Onwards to Delta!
My E4 team was:
Latias lvl 50
Doublade lvl 52
Swampert lvl 51
Metagross lvl 53
Diancie lvl 56
Goodra lvl 55
I made the mistake of mega evolving my Diancie against Steven and yeah. Still beat him first try but only cause of revives.

Here I am trading a gen 5 reshiram on GTS hoping for a gen 6 one.
I trade Reshiram A off, get Reshiram B. Grab Reshiram C to trade and get Reshiram A back...
edit: Btw, if people are willing to do 1 to 1 trades of legendaries I'm looking for gen 6 pokemon and will trade their previous gen counterpart.
Specifically looking for the following:
Ho-Oh
Palkia
Groudon
Basically a gen 6 Ho-Oh for a previous Ho-Oh or Groudon for Groudon. I don't care how bad the gen 6 version of the legendary you have is, I just need it for the collection. If you need any other legendaries though, I do have some extras in the collection like I can do a gen 3 Kyogre for a gen 6 Groudon.

Always a good time. Since once it's in the bank it's there. I plopped my livingdex into ORAS and it's amazing seeing a caught 172 jump to a caught 719 lol.
They gon' learn today.

Normal/Fighting is another
It's more hacking then cheating, and it was also a suggested alternative to soft resetting.

Mega Khan is the most broken Pokemon in the game!

The credits show your gym/pivotal battles and represent them with stills of your Pokemon vs opponent. If your Pokemon was shiny, it will show the shiny.
Do Ranked?
