Urgh I really really want to play this but I'm keeping it back until Christmas day.

 

But I don't half wanna just boot this up and get stuck in!

It'll be a nice Christmas day play though!

So, I just got made aware of something mindblowing, if legit. Need to share it somewhere because it's making me lose my mind.

 

Ok, so someone noted a weird framed map in the south-eastern house in Dewford Town

Looks weird, right? Well someone on GameFAQs noticed it looked somewhat like this

pokearth.jpg

 

This is a small version of a large map a friend & I made for my site's Pokéarth section (location database). It contains the main game regions Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Hoenn, Sevii Islands as well as side game regions Orre (in north west, the big desert), Fiore, Almia and Oblivia. My friend made the DP versions of the other regions and I placed them together in a large map

 

Now, let's flip that

And resize it to match the image's size in Dewford as much as possible. Pixel resize rather than bilinear/bicubic resample to keep colour as much as possible

The resemblance is utterly uncanny. It's hard to dismiss this as a coincidence, and I am shocked. Going to investigate this further as there has to be a more logical explanation. If it is mine or based on mine, I am ecstatic and honoured that something I made will exist forever in a Pokémon game.

 

There's NO WAY that's just a coincidence, dude. As for whether they copied; depends. How did you come about the design? Did you just randomly place your regions or is the design based on specific mentions/references in the games? If it is the latter, then that's probably why they're almost the same except flipped. If you just placed them randomly thinking "looks good like that" then it's clearly a copy. At this point, Serebii, you have to accept your site is world recognised, no doubt people at GameFreak have visited your site many times. As to whether you view it as an honour or hit the "damn you bastards!" button, that is in your hands.

Oh it's an honour, no doubt about that.

 

Also, the in-game references to Sinnoh ae contrary to how I place it. I had to lower it due to space reasons.

Just wonder if my Latias is suitable?

Nature: Timid

Characteristic: Mischievous

HP: 97

ATK: 53

DEF: 68

SPATK: 80

SPDEF: 84

SPD: 88

 

EDIT: XY IV checker said it got 31IVs in HP, DEF, SPATK and SPD. Guess it's somewhat suitable haha

Time to demand some royalties.

 

 

Perhaps a concubine, the least Nintendo can do is get you some action.

If I kill Kyorge then try to catch it later, can I still reset for nature/IVs when it respawns 6or do they get locked in?

No, you're fine. I'm doing the same thing.

Except I'm getting a Groudon instead.

OK, so I've pretty much finished episode Delta, (I'm constantly resetting to get a good Rayquaza) and I feel it's time to give my overall views.

How is he for resetting? Any massive cut scenes? Beat the Elite 4 yesterday and currently preparing a Legendary catching team.

Rayquaza might just be the most time-wasting legendary I've ever tried to catch. I did it in the end. Adamant, 4 perfect IV's with Attack, Speed and 2 other stats that aren't Sp. Atk. Nicknamed it Raymond, as a nod to Disaster: Day of Crisis.

I'm gonna put how I did it in a spoiler tag for those who don't want to know how it plays out in Episode Delta.

(Although anyone who plans on getting legendaries with the right IV's and natures should probably give it a look anyway, I can't think of a better way to soft reset Rayquaza than this.)

Sounds like a pain, like I thought. Might just transfer my perte t one from Emerald. ;)

 

Been breeding Ralts but they all have trace, one of them is hold an ever stone to pass down its nature, does that affect which ability the baby has or am I extremely unlucky?

Received an EON ticket via Streetpass today, lucky lucky!

 

My brother just came back from his travels in London and he got an Eon ticket on the train on the way up!

 

So we street-passed today - first time its occurred in this household oddly enough - and I too am now the proud owner of an Eon ticket as well thanks to my bro. :D

 

Now I've just got to get far enough in the game to use it... only got three gym badges and just over ten hours on the clock... time to play the heck out of Alpha Sapphire! : peace:

It does affect the ability, I'm afraid. You're gonna have to do it the hard way.

I personally used the DexNav. Way easier. Just tap the Ralts icon when you're on that route you can find them and search for it.

Now I have 20 Ralts! 1 for every nature that affects stats.

Yeah, spent most of last night just catching Ralts. Was hoping to chain a shiny, but no luck.

Does exp share reduce the amount of exp you get from defeating a Pokémon? Or do all Pokémon get the - let's call it - full amount of exp?

It's no longer split.

 

If a Pokémon has been in battle, it'll get 100% of what would be gained

If it has not an EXP Share is on, it'll get 50%

I see, thanks. Speeds up the Pokémon training immensely : peace:

 

So, this EON ticket everybody's talking about...can I only get it via Street Pass? I don't take my 3DS with me like...ever :blank:

Meh. So I'll never be able to get that legendary Pokémon?

 

If so...what a stupid design choice

 

You might if you set up a homepass...
