Posted October 4, 2013 Updated Pokemons spotted so far... Really... is that a set of keys Pokemon? It's a fairy Pokemon that steals keys according to it's 'dex entry. I like it. I adore Goomy, I must have him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 Dilemma! I'm pathetically loyal to Squirtle, the first Pokémon I EVER got, but I also want Froakie because water and also his evolution chain is superior to the other two. Having two water Pokémon in my party seems excessive, but I've always gone with the water starter for every game and don't want to break tradition now. What would you guys do?

Having two water Pokémon in my party seems excessive, but I've always gone with the water starter for every game and don't want to break tradition now. What would you guys do? If I were you I'd continue with the water tradition you have always adopted! 2 bad-ass water Pokemon is no bad thing, and with the dual type of Frokie's final evolution, it wont be all bad. I always have Starmie in my team, but not for its water capabilities - I use a different water type for that, but still use Starmie religiously! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2013 I tend to favour Ghost type pokemon so i know what its like to have this irrational compulsion to choose a multitude of the same type, go for a squirtle! he was my first pokemon when i got blue, but i've always chosen the water type (much to my regret with that horrible mudkip). when will we ever get a damn non legendary ghost dragon? or when will they fix gengar? it always annoyed me that he was ghost poison and suggested as a weapon against sabrina in gen 1, only to last a second against a psychic attack.... mega gengar is ghost/psyhcic....not sure how to feel about that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 4, 2013 wish I could say this is the only problem I have with the game, but there are two other substantial issues I have that keep this from being a game that stands above previous entries. While recent Pokémon games have had some major content to enjoy throughout, this one has a more limited longevity and replayability. Somewhat negatively, I would compare the amount of content you get in these games to Ruby and Sapphire. My other complaint is that the game carries a greater reliance on repurposing old Pokémon rather than introducing new ones this time around. Game Freak tries to make up for this through cool Mega Evolutions, re-typing old monsters to Fairy, and re-introducing some forgotten classics like Deliberd and Granbull, but it was a bit of a bummer to see the full extent of what the Kalos region actually introduced. Far more importantly, the Pokémon designs introduced this generation are a somewhat noticeable step down in quality from past entries. -Nintendo World Report review This was something some one supposedly with a review copy said last week. I'm kind of concerned, because post game content in Ruby and Sapphire was awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 4, 2013 -Nintendo World Report review This was something some one supposedly with a review copy said last week. I'm kind of concerned, because post game content in Ruby and Sapphire was awful. But really, post-game content? After the Elite 4, Im just catching new 'mon and playing online. Most post-game parts always feel tacked on. That reviewer seems kinda nit-picky. How can the reintroduction of new Pokemon in its first 3D handheld game be a bad thing?

Posted October 4, 2013 Thing is, with each generation, the first two games typically don't have too much post-game. Look at BW, sure it had a couple of areas, but there was little to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can the reintroduction of new Pokemon in its first 3D handheld game be a bad thing? It's not a bad thing, and the reviewer is far from nit picky in my opinion. But the problem is too few new Pokemon and not a lot of content to do outside of the main game is a major factor of enjoyment that's missing. Thing is, with each generation, the first two games typically don't have too much post-game. Look at BW, sure it had a couple of areas, but there was little to do Admittedly, you're right on this one. Shame B/W2 were so fucking boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
