Here's a couple questions:

  • Are the berry mutations from X and Y back?
  • Is there some way to reset or reduce your PokΓ©mon's stats for PokΓ©mon Contests in case you mess up?

Personally, I'd prefer if the 'net was a little friendlier, but you know the GIFT...

So few questions since I want to avoid unneeded spoilers:

  • I know that Game Corner is gone, but does Game Corner theme appear anywhere?
  • Does the game have those mini Contest Halls or Battle Tents?

@Faw: When you grew certain berries adjacent to each other in Kalos, you could get other kinds of berries in the harvest.

[up][up][up]In XY, planting certain pairs of berry types next to each other would occasionally result in the harvest on one or both containing a hybrid- Oran and Pecha together produce the occasional Qualot berry in place of one of the standard berries on the resulting Pecha and/or Oran tree.

I don't think this came back, however.

Weird. Serebii says that the encounter rate of Grimer is actually pretty good inside the Fiery Path but I haven't seen one yet ._.

I'm still in Rustboro but I've talked to people on Tumblr about the game and there are multiple Contest Halls like in the original RS.

Does the Dexnav Plus or whatever it's called give you infinite numbers of rare Pokemon with hidden Abilities and good moves and such any time you want?

Cause I tried it and it seems like it, it's pretty neat. Just have to step out of the area every once in while for a couple seconds.

It makes it sooooo much easier to catch Pokemon.

[up][up]Well, kinda. Every Contest Spectacular Hall can be played at all four ranks, whereas the Contest Halls in RS were rank-specifc.

None? It's just nice to not have to go to a specific city when you want to do a contest.

Nuts, I don't know what to do next. I saved Briney's Wingull from Aqua, but he's not at his house... how do I get him to take me to Dewford, again?

nvm i think i got it

I have beaten Roxanne. my team was all lv. 10 at the time of the battle. My strategy was spamming Sand-Attack to lower her pokemons' accuracy, mostly. I sent out Torchic first (I usually start gym battles with the pokemon that are weak against the gym's type, and save the ones with advantages for last), and as expected, he went down quickly. It eventually came down to her Nosepass vs. my Shroomish. Soon, victory was mine.

Then, the "retrieve the Devon Parts" plot began. It's set up like a chase, but first I needed to heal up at the Pokemon Center. Then on my way there, I caught a Nincada and added it to my party, replacing the Poochyena. Training it up to the level of the rest of my party was a long and tedious process that kept me up later than I should've been, yet I still slogged through despite the Nincada's slow growth rate and anemic attacks (Scratch, Harden, and Leech Life). It got a bit more bearable once it learned Sand-Attack, though, as I could then slowly grind away at foes with less fear of retaliation. So much for the sense of urgency toward chasing down the Team Aqua Grunt.

I eventually did get the parts back, and then I got the BuzzNav app. It seems like this serves the same role as record mixing did in the original games. I got one question, though. If the place where I'm planning to set up my Secret Base ends up taken, is it possible to delete that base to make room for mine? Or will I just have to not use StreetPass until I reach that location?

Next up, I will explore the route north of Rustboro, then travel to Dewford, get my Sableye in Granite Cave, and take on the Gym there.

Honestly, "it hurt itself in confusion" doesn't even make sense. It should just force it to pick moves at random, or just skip a turn. That would be more bearable.

Different people in the lobby, basically.

I think it's possible the randomized pools of competitors might change from location to location, but I haven't done nearly enough Contests to actually say that's anything more than a wistful guess.

Does the Dexnav Plus ever run out of Pokemon to generate in the bushes, or is there a limit per day and then you're locked out?

Also, you can tell it to scope for a particular species as soon as you saw one of them, right? So how does that work with Pokemon rarity? I assume it doesn't necessarily give you the Pokemon you specified, so if you want to catch a Ralts after seeing Wally capture one, you might get a bunch of Pooches rustling the grass before the Raltes start raltzing in?

You can only do active searches for species you've already caught, actually.

Nope, it always gives you the one you search for. But it has to be in the area, and you have to have already caught it.

If it helps, Ralts makes itself particularly known on the map, with its head poking out of the grass and everything.

People in this game love putting confusion, paralysis, and poison on your Pokemon.

What dicks.
