Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

I kinda want a 6th gen Pokemon Yellow (or failing that Red/Green again) because the Kanto pokemon that you can't get easily in Gen4/5/6 have to be imported from Gen3, which involves a 24hr waiting period to cart only 6 pokemon at a time. It's a pain in the ass. I'm glad they fixed that problem when carting over from gens 4 to 5. Good thing the problem is mostly eliminated at this point, especially with Hoenn.

I'm sure they'll cycle back around to RBY again eventually. It has probably the highest nostalgia factor after all. I mean, look at how many times Nintendo has remade the first Super Mario Bros. to varying degrees: NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, not to mention partial remakes in other games like NES Remix for Wii U, virtual console ports, or the semi-recent return to the "New" Super Mario Bros. franchise that's clearly driven by that same nostalgia.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

I'm with hi19 and kommi on this in that I think Gen 3 was also the weakest generation but my issue stems from one other thing:
The lack of in-game time.

Generation 2 had that AWESOME feature where it could follow real time and go into night or day because of it. Gen 3 ditched that completely and I thought that's what really made Gen 2 stand apart (aside from the 16 gyms). While that feature was again brought back, that really crushed Gen 3 for me and is the reason I consider it the worst of the 6 generations.

That said, I might pick it up because a good chuck of the Pokémon I need for my X/Y Dex are Hoenn legends. Unless my girlfriend gets it, in which case, I'll ask her for them.

Gen 3 did in fact have in-game time, but the only thing it affected was the high and low tides in the Shoal Cave. I miss Gen 2 being able to correct for daylight savings time myself, nowadays I gotta go into the DS system settings and mess with those.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

RSE were the hardest games all-around

i disagree
hardest by far was dpp (which unfortunately sucked)

all they need to do is "fix" the Exp. Share and not hand out overpowered Megas before the halfway point (fucking blaziken, man).

only way to fix the exp share really is to get rid of it or lower the exp gains to what they would be in gen 4 (definitely not gen 5)
they could just not have megas until post-game which i'm 95% expecting
also torchic was an event so technically that wasn't built into the game BUT lucario and the kanto starters were

Or at least make a damn challenge mode like BW2.

and make it better than bw2's (only accessible by either beating black 2 [the other one giving you an EASY MODE for some bizarre reason] or getting it from a friend? nintendo plz)

and yes, gen 3 ignoring time features was the most bizarre thing ever

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

I'll give credit to DPPt for having the hardest League by far. Like damn.
...Okay, Cyrus was kinda hard too.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Bland Elite Four and the worst offender, fucking Wallace.

We actually agree on something. What is this.

But yeah Wallace really does suck though. Maybe keep Juan, put Wallace in the contest halls. We'll never see him again! Contests halls were optional!

Yeahhhhhhhhh~

I actually had forgotten about contests till writing this post... You guys think those will return?

Espeon
Umbreon

other Day/Night evolutions

edit@middie srsly contests were fun in Gen3 but they started to suck more and more past gen4

I thought that as well...fucking Cynthia was the hardest thing in that game lol~

I'm happy that RS is getting a remake, but I'm hoping they don't make it easy at all.

I watched some freaky ass Japanese TV show for like an hour just for the 10 seconds of footage that was advertised.
Yay me.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Nothing will ever beat gen 2 in my opinion

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Gen 2 was the best generation like...ever~

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

I grew up during the massive hysteric hype of pokemon in the late 90s. When 2nd gen came out, shit was outta control. the map was huge, tons of shit to do, 16 mother fucking badges (yet to see this happen again), a massive amount of nostalgia going through kanto and what I consider to be the best last boss in gaming history, the battle with red.

3rd gen came out and completely disappointed me. did not live up to 2nd gen's monster gameplay. everything felt bland and was stale gameplay coated with trumpets

i think gen 3 was the worst in terms of story, but gen 1 and 2 were really fucking bad in every other aspect (music, sound, mechanics, gameplay, fucking glitches)

tbh I was hoping that nintendo would just release dlc of the other regions, but a remake of a bad game is tight

make it way better than it was

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

best way to fix exp share:
buff every trainer in the game

or don't give it out so early. like, before victory road or after e4
exp share works fine as is, it makes leveling pokemon a fucen breeze

they should make trainers use semi-intelligently ev trained pokemon so battling isn't reduced to USE YOUR STRONGEST STAB

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Give it a v1 where it works like in Gen2-5, and then post game make it possible to upgrade to Gen1 EXP All.
Problem Solved.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Even outside of the EXP Share this is a HUGE issue. It's a game meant for 10 year olds sure, but I mean you turn on challenge mode in B/W2 and you have a bit of a treat. Also, fighting Cynthia in PWT is sooooooo much more fun for this. Bring this back, but enable it pregame as an option similar to the language.

And we're talking good AI like Cynthia's for everyone. (Except she can keep her 6 IV perfect team. That should only be done once for champions.)
