Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Hoenn Remakes for the 3DS)

I've completed the Mauville Food Court. I beat every opponent in one turn on all 3 challenges, and am now Fare Princess of the Food Court.

just beat flannery.

i cant decide if it was kinda funny or just really sad that every single person on that volcano fought each other which fucking poochyenas. even archie.

expectations vs reality◊

Secret Signature

About to take on Glacia, I realize I have little in my team that's prepared for ice types. The two with fighting moves are weak to ice, no fire, no steel, a couple of rock moves I guess... I should at least replace Rock Smash on Shiftry with Brick Break, I guess.

Already say that on KYM. Still funny. Is an a version involving Magma.

Anyway I somehow managed to find a Shiny Magnemite

it'll probably involve Groudon serving Maxie umbrella drinks.

If everyone were normal, the world would be a dull place. Like reality television.

I've made a little more progress. I've now gone down the route past Fortree City. My Combusken evolved into Blaziken and can now use the Mega Stone Steven gave me. My Baltoy has evolved into Claydol.

I'm now outside the Safari Zone and Mt. Pyre. I think I'll check out the Safari Zone, then head down the route to Lilycove before exploring Mt. Pyre, unless there's some sort of Broken Bridge I don't know about that will prevent me from doing so.

The Living Guildpact rules that coffee is an acceptable substitution for rest as specified in subsection … whatever.

I really liked the Delta episode. I had lots of feels, and at least some of them were brought on by my recent research into the symbolic meaning of flowers. Zinnias are flowers that mean, among other things, Remembrance, Lasting affection, and thinking of/ honoring the memory of an absent friend. Asters, meanwhile, symbolize love and patience.

as an English major, I know I'm reading way too much into this but still. feels.

Oh yeah, that's another thing I've been meaning to ask. What do Streetpasses do in XY? I took the game to a convention and, uh, actually maxed out my streetpasses! So I'm kinda curious to know what the deal is with that!

Streetpasses in XY just give you Pokemiles. Claim them through the Holocaster under PSS options.

Be warned: Glacia now packs Froslass, so Brick Break is not the coup de grace it once was.

Also they use a Snow Cloak/Confuse Ray strategy, which is about as fun as having your teeth extracted.

Glacia is probably the hardest of the Elite Four, which she also was in the original thanks to stupid Sheer Cold.

Heart of Stone

Actually, I have Crunch and Spooky Ball on hand, so Froslass shouldn't be that bad.

Spooky Ball?

Shadow Ball, except I call it something silly.

Regigigas has the dumbest obtaining method in pokemon history. Like just imagine explaining the whole idea to someone who had no idea how to get him.

Okay so first you have to catch all 3 regis and put them in your party, but make sure you pay close attention to where regice island cave is, as you'll need to go back later. It's also very important to give regice a nickname, the other two don't matter but regice NEEDS a nickname otherwise regigigas won't think you love his favorite creation enough and won't be your friend. Okay then go to pacidilog town and talk to the girl in the northeast house who tells you about regigigas who is the most powerful of the regis and their creator. Now go back to regice island DURING THE DAYTIME(nightime regigigas is too sleepy and goes off to bed) but make sure he's holding an ice cream first(you find it in the trick master's house during one of his challenges) because regigigas will be hungry. If you do it right an earthquake happens when you enter the interior chamber and then regigigas will want to fight you for his ice cream. Catch him and congrats, you now have Regigigas!!!

P.S no having vanillite's line in your party will not work(regigigas says no to poke-cannibalism), but a snowball or nevermeltice works too. He needs cold food because regigigas works out a sweat.

Maybe it's keeping with the spirit of how obnoxious getting them was in the original? Solve Braille puzzles with super-weird arbitrary instructions like flying in the middle of the room and having a Wailord and a Relicanth in specific spots in your party and walking in a certain way and punching the air and just sitting there and staring at your screen for two minutes.

I really want to use Leafeon but he would make for 3 fire weaknesses on this team and he needs Sunlight to be his best, making fire even worse. :'(

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

That was obnoxious but this just doesn't even make any sort of logical sense. Why the cold stuff, why the focus on regice, why the nicknaming?

It's almost like parody. Seriously the ice cream. Holding the ice cream gets you regigigas. Think about it.

surprised no one's done a comic of it yet.

Truly the Regis are the modern day Pokegods.

That. I said that a while ago here, too. It really does sound like the crap kids used to say on the playground to get to Mewthree and Venutoise and such.

Well my sister wnated her game back (I borrowed hers for a couple months because I don;t have one of my own yet) so I'm gonna take a (hopefully small) hiatus until at least Christmas.

Well GF did give a nod to a related rumor in FRLG (the truck)

I liked the way they handled the three golems in the originals and in ORAS. If playing blind, then stumbling upon the cavern that starts the whole thing is probably the only part that really requires prior knowledge, because they do give you enough information to puzzle out the rest.

Regigigas, though? Where in the game is there even a hint that you have to give Regice a snow-themed item in order to make it appear, much less nickname it? Sure, they imply that getting him to show up has something to do with Regice, and having all three in the party can be inferred by how they tend to unlock or be unlocked by it, but I have no idea how people found out the rest.

Apparently the girl in Pacifidlog gives hints. She has four random stories, one chosen per save file.
