@Lowe, oh, I have to Talk with Stephen in the Demo? Well, ok then I should be able to get it then.

As for the other pokemon, yeah they do cause after the legendary fight you cna go get the National Pokedex before hitting the E4.

@Fieryone: Yeah, just go to the demo and pick "Send to Game". Just remember you can only do it once per day.

@RPGZero: Birch says that Groudon/Kyogre's awakening altered the environment, attracting all sorts of non regional Pokemon.

So I got the Glalie into my Alpha Sapphire so props, got to beat the Delta Episode then figure out what comes after that.

Also, I have to say the Eon Flute is HELLA useful, and just makes me wish that HM moves were tools and not well, moves.

That song they play during the final Wally fight is amazing. It was totally unexpected and fit the moment. He's one of my favorite Pokemon characters, so to see him get that treatment was really, really nice.

In fact, I would say my biggest disappointment with the Hoenn games is that you only fight Wally twice (not counting the rematches). Having placed another fight prior to the Victory Road battle would have been better I think.

I would've definitely liked to fight him at least once more, as well. However, I give them full credit for massively improving Brendan/May as a rival from the original.

Hell, I feel like compared to the originals and X/Y they went above and beyond to actually give ASOR stories, like with actual plot development beyond GO FIGHT GYMS, BEAT ELITE FOUR, BECOME CHAMPION.

It was nice, and I hope they actually do more of that in future titles, like Gen VII.

Hey, let's call it for what it is: They turned Protaganist and May into a ship so good, it could've sailed around Hoenn.

They seriously had no qualms about doing it at all, to the point of your dad telling you to give your extra ticket to the meteor shower to "the cutie that lives nextdoor".

Let's go a step further and say the ship is Protagonist/Rival, since apparently it works just as well when you're playing May.

I see. When I get around to picking up AS i'm probably going to pick the female protagonist.

Finally beat the Elite Four. Arf, May challenged me after the credits like I knew she would, but she didn't even get to Mega. Shouldn't have switched out to Blaziken against Golurk!

Also just found out today that they're giving out a Shiny Beldum over Wi-fi, derp.

Finally some luck going my way. First try Latios

Latios - #381 (Timid)
HP: 31
Att: 27 - 29
Def: 14 - 16
SpA: 24 - 26
SpD: 30 - 31
Speed: 31

I didn't feel like going through reset hell over that Defense.

Just past Winona. I know it's just a remake but after this is all over and I get the goodies that I want from it I'm going back to X/Y. I'll use ORAS for move tutors (that delicious Hyper Voice Gardevoir) and battling because of the new Mega Stones but for all breeding and training purposes I'm doing it in X/Y. I don't think there's any egg moves exclusive to ORAS so it shouldn't be an issue.

Shouldn't be. The 1.3 XY patch was specifically to prepare for that sort of thing.

Using X for breeding is probably a good idea, but I'll need to check for a good breeding path in AS first.

I always just use the ones right by daycare centers since it's always a straightaway. The one in ORAS however has NPCs wander into the path often and it interrupts the flow.

I'm already completely set up in XY and it has more features at my disposal like hoards and Cafe la Wow. I have a nice stock of BP in XY too from a few really good runs in Battle Maison. I can transfer my Ditto hoard and egg move slaves through the bank but really I just have far more love for XY than I do ORAS. Gen3 was always the most dull for me.

Yeah, I do the same. I also have my stuff like the Destiny Bond already in my inventory in X.

I do agree with you on Gen 3, but I'm not overtly fond of Kalos either. Unova and Sinnoh are still my favorite regions.

This last bit of the Delta Episode isn't so fun.

You HAVE to capture Rayquaza, then you're thrown into a battle immediately afterwards, THEN Deoxys appears.

I got lucky one time and paralyzed Rayquaza into the red, using only one Poke Ball. Then Deoxys showed up, and I ended up quitting in annoyance since I wasn't prepared.

This part will probably be hell for those of you who want their legendaries to have good natures, IVs and stuff.

EDIT: Oh, ouch. This Rayquaza has a Quiet nature; good thing I don't use legendaries!

Get your Rayquaza and then KO Deoxys. It'll respawn at the Sky Pillar after an E4 run.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing.

Got to the Battle Resort and got Drain Punch + Ice Punch for Golurk.

Going to do another E4 run tomorrow, and then I can quit playing this game. I'll worry about breeding later, since there's no new game on the horizon just yet.

My biggest problem with he Delta Episode is how little sense it made. Why didn't Zinnia just try explaining the situation to people rather than stealing their Mega Evolution stuff? Did she think Wally wouldn't want to help save the planet? Did she think that the Rival wouldn't want to? If she trusted the protagonist so much, why didn't she go to him to begin with and ask him to help convince Wally and the Rival? People keep saying that she's an "ends justifies the means" kind of character . . . but there was no reason to resort to such tactics to begin with. This is the Pokemon universe. Telling people, "Hey, the guys at the science lab have a silly plan, so listen to my plan that involves legendary Pokemon, especially since our hero here is the guy who managed to tame Groudon/Kyogre!" is perfectly acceptable.

There are quite a few other ways they could have done Delta Episode's plot without having been a tryhard attempt at creating an "edgy" character.

I didn't care for Zinnia much, but part of me thinks you weren't supposed to. She's a well I intentioned extremist, whose plan ends up only working because you do what she can't...BECAUSE she's a well I intentioned extremist. She's not evil or anything, but she's so wrapped up in doing things HER way that she doesn't have the qualities needed to be properly accepted by Rayquaza, while you do. And I dunno about you, but KOing her M-Salamence with M-Ray in one shot was pretty awesome.

As to Deoxys, I just used my Master Ball on him, since both Groudon & Rayquaza actually have really high catch rates for legendaries. Plus, since I'm a bit of a balltist, I caught Groudon in a regular Pokeball, and used a Dusk Ball for Rayquaza.

I enjoyed knocking out her Mega Salamence because of how stupid it looks. It should not be proud of being a flying Rebel Alliance insignia.

I still say it looked better than regular Salamence.

I'm not normally big on using Legendaries in-game, but I had a blast throwing Groudon at the Elite 4 this time. And

Now that I've finished it, I can say that I ended up not enjoying AS as much as I thought.

- Easy even by Pokemon standards. I don't know what they did to the Exp. Share, but it made things a lot easier than it used to. Except for early on, I was usually 10-15 levels above every gym.

- Not much to do.

- Too much WATER.

Honestly, I also just find Hoenn to be really boring as a region. It's not as bad as Kanto or Johto, but still pretty boring.

I've been kind of underwhelmed by Gen 6, aside from the gameplay improvements. I might end up waiting for Gen 7 before buying any new Pokemon games.

EXP Share in Gen VI gives all your Pokemon 1/2 the XP even if they didn't participate in battle.
