This game really likes teleporting you to Mauville.
Better than the walk, at least.

This dexnav thing is amazing. Loving the fact you can get egg moves from wild pokemon. Makes me start using pokemon i would never even touch.

And how! Seeing Pokemon with rare moves, the thrill of sneaking up on one, treating each route like a checklist…...definitely one of the best features in the game.
Beat Wattson last night, then doubled back to Granite Cave to catch my Aron…and then spent entirely too much time using the DexNav to catch another one. I saw one with Head Smash + Rock Head but wasn't able to get to it in time before it ran away... Got one with Dragon Rush and a maxed IV stat in the end at least. Also discovered that you can get an Abra with Ice Punch, of all things, too.
How do you get further in Granite Cave? I remember you could just go through the dark in the original, but I got Flash and a bunch of hikers are blocking the down entrance.
You have to beat Brawly first. Even then, there's only one room beyond. You need the Mach Bike to access the rest of the cave now.
Solves some massive sequence breaking in the original because you could put off Brawly until you have to fight Norman.
Jesus the trainers in Norman's gym can take a fucking beating.

Oh yeah, you used to be able the ferry to the beach near Slateport at any time.
oh well, at least I got my Makuhita.
Got my first Gym badge. Party for now is Mudkip, Beldum, Surskit, Glalie, Poochyena and Wingull.
Jaw drops
HOLY SHIT, WALLY'S THEME IS SO POWERFUL!
I makes me think i'm the villain D:
If it wasn't in your original team, Flygon, Exploud, or Mightyena
Mightyena was.
So it's between trapinch and numel so I'm going to chose… numel because it has a mega evolution sorry pris. :P

Having to wait more 5 days is making me a bit grumpy.

Numel seems like the better choice. Yeah, me too. And I can't even play until Saturday since it's my girlfriend's birthday (priorities.. but I'm conflicted.)
To those that have the game did they at least improve the pokemon that the evils teams use instead of only using pochyenas and zubats with the rare occasion of them using a numel or carvana?

Simple answer? No.
Simple answer? No.
Shit, that one of the things I hoped they improved on the remakes especially after bw2 and x and y. -_-
Hoenn is half water is it really that hard to give more water pokemon to Aqua when the region is full of them.

It's always like that in the games, man.
Grunt: Ok sir, i'm ready to protect the meteorite with my life! how will i do it?
Archie: It's ok. I have top power for you my underling!
Archiie hands him a lvl. 18 Zubat
Grunt: Wait, what?
Archie: With this you will crush that kid!
Grunt: This is a zubat! how am i gonna beat him?
Archie: What are you talking about? It has an advantage to his Blaziken! It's a flying type! that scamp won't know what hit him!
Grunt: Sir, no disrespect but that kid's fuckin Blaziken just moved a 3 ton rock to enter this cave. I don't think this Zubat can stop him.
Archie: Of course he can! You need to learn your type chart man! This Zubat will one hit KO that chicken!
The zubat is knocking himself into the walls of the cave since it doesn't have eyes
Grunt: Can i at least have a gun?
Archie: A gun? What are you? Some kind of criminal?
Grunt:…
Grunts have it so rough.
That's one thing I really dislike about the game progression (from Gen I to current gen) - trainers have become so much weaker. I mean, Gym Leaders with only 3 Pokemon tops? Elite Four with only 4 Pokemon? What the hell happened, guys!?
And rivals, also only 3 - occasional 4? Wow. I remember Wally having a full team, and Gary, and, and… you know what I mean.
Really Guys,
!
it totally has the vibe of a final battle in an Anime. Like the evil demon king has the power of the sun in its hands and Wally is the last hero standing with his legs broken and only supporting himself with his sword while unleashing his final transformation.
It's so good i'm tempted to say Hoenn doesn't suck.
Also, i'm pretty sure it goes with everything like the Guile Theme.
Jesus Christ. Has anyone taken the time to explore Sea Mauville and read the stuff it has.
I've learned things about characters that you wouldn't expect to see in a Pokemon game.

I haven't gotten to Wally yet, but Winona had 4 Pokemon so I'm expecting Wally to have the same amount of Pokemon when I get to him as the originals. Same with the E4.

Yeah. That's terrible. I have to impose a lot of rules to myself in order to make the games not that easy (like not using recovery items mid fights, ExpShare or only using one 'mon against each Gym leader/Elite 4. In X2 I had a team of 3 mon, one not even fully evolved, and you still couldn't call it hard).
One thing that annoys the hell out of me is how weak legendaries are. They are supposed to be the epic big boss fight, but it turns out to be just a pokémon like the 6 you have with you. I seriously think legendaries should be WAY stronger in the wild (they could say they get weaker once they are captured so they could keep their regular BST after that). After a whole game hyping a legend, it's really underwhelming when you have to try the hardest you can to not kill it with just one member of your team.
Wow, you guys had an easy time with the primal forms? It was so hard for me.

I think he was talking about X/Y and some other newer games that weren't remakes. And hey, spoilers (although that one is kind of obvious) - no one in Europe has the game yet :( (including me…)
Although I suppose I could just not visit this thread..

Even better that you can just throw out a quick ball before battling at all and catch th story ones, since they have really high capture rate. (As you're REALLY supposed to get them.)
I'm going to try to replicate the feat I pulled in my very first run-through of Ruby back in the day and capture Primal Groudon in a Poke Ball.
Finally got a Magnemite via Sweet Scent-induced horde battles on Route 110. Team's slowly coming together now, since if I recall right Baltoy should be in the desert north of Mauville.
Team thus far:
Swampert
Lombre (Mexica)
Mightyena (Algonquin)
Manetric (Arapaho)
Taking some time to collect some stuff before going for Winona.
Team is Masqurain (25), Marshtomp (30), Numel (30), Lombre (25) and Azumaril (25) which are going to be on for the game and a Plusle as filler and a Slakoth as a HM slave
Still thinking on who I want for the final slot.
Oh, c'mon!!! critical on a legendary? GET OUT OF HERE!
3rd time in a row my slaking crits the legend…He even One shotted him this time.

Weird to see Slaking wrecking shit and not being on the opposite side of it.

Git gud.
Ok, Delta episode done. My team is:
Skarmory: Silver Hawk
Flygon: Zhu li (do the thing! The Boomburst thing!)
sceptile: Gaeacko
Slaking: Humanatee
Breloom: Lu Bu
Lombre (fucking super training never giving me Water stone): Tardizzle.
Brawly was easier than Roxanne, holy cow.
Ralts soloed both pokemon with confusion. I didn't even need Tallow.

Put pokemon on the search button of the e-shop and it should be there, that's how I found the pokemon X and bank patches.
Also, any idea on how can i quickly transfer or pass aaaaal my items on X/Y to ORAS X.x ?
None. I had to trade them all 1 by 1.
Just beat Wallace and headin to the League.
Swamper, Mightyena, Altaria, Plusle, and Walrein. 3/5 from my Original Sapphire Team. No Clue what I'm going to fill the last slot with.

Just fought Wally.
That Battle Music. That Background.
So fucking epic.
Stop sending Wurmples and Zigzagoons over wondertrade! :D My copy of Y is getting spammed with ORAS Pokemon, and not the good ones ^^
Finally caved and bought Omega Ruby today. Haven't even gotten to Roxane yet but I'm already having fun with the Pokemon scanner thing. It's a neat feature. ^^
Can't wait to get my trusty team back from Pokemon Y, though. If anyone here would be interested in a battle, I use a rain team: Politoed, Tentacruel, Rotom-W, Ferrothorn, Scizor (M) and Meloetta.~
Archie is startlingly well-characterized. I mean jesus wow they actually make him into something more than diet Giovanni.
Just beat Dad for badge number 5. I'm glad he at least put up a fight, the rest of the gym was content to play around with their items while my Gallade bopped their pokemon on the head with Rock Smash all day long.
Also, the animation for a Steelix using Gyro Ball looks hilariously silly.
My updated Secret base QR code
Anyone else want to share theirs?
I should get around to do mine.
Also, WALLY'S THEME GUYS! I still can't recover from it.
I'm just gonna carry this around in my pocket and if someone tries to fight i will put this on in the speaker.
Holy shit.
Almost lost to Steven like when I played Original Sapphire.
Toxic Spikes Skarmory (got 2 layers on me).
Light Screened with Claydol.
Armaldo Swept Half my Team.
Got down to my last Pokemon, Mega Swampert. He Giga Impacted with his Mega Metagross and I lived it with 7 HP.
Started E4 with: Swampert, Mightyena, Plusle, Altaria, Walrein, Grumpig all Level 50.
Ended with
Swampert 53
Mightyena 54
Plusle 54
Altaria 53
Walrein 54
Grumpig 54.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Seriously, what are the catch rates for Kyogre/Groudon, Rayquaza and Deoxys.
I hit Kyogre with 2 Thunder and Para'd it and caught it in 1 Ultra.
Took 3 Ultra Balls to catch Rayquaza.
I hit Deoxys with 2 Extreme Speeds and threw one Ultra Ball at it and got it on first try while it was in yellow.
I really need to know if they inflated the hell out of catch rates,
