Falcon_BlizZACK Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Because I don't want to. I like to try and stick to what is available in the game. Otherwise I feel like I'm cheating. Odd, I know. The point I'm making here is that I'm 12 hours in and there are still no decent Pokemon to catch despite the fact that 135 new Pokemon were added in gen 3. I'm 100% sure that I could get a team of 6 out of those no problem. At the minute though, I have 2 from gen 3 on my current team of 4, and that's because the availability seems slower than the other games. It's a criticism that I think is quite fair and one that I'm allowed to have. But yeah, it is what it is. Of course you are allowed to be critical, but I find it hard to understand. How do you define 'bad Pokemon'? The radar thingy also makes it extremely easy to capture Pokemon with good moves and abilities. Just seems a bit harsh or puzzling that you find there to be no decent Pokemon after 12 hours.But ah well, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I think you might not be looking hard enough. Just off the top of my head, you could get a Trapinch and a Cacnea, do a bit of backtracking and you could get a Zangoose. Roselia is a very good Pokemon, thanks to Roserade existing. And I've always liked Grumpig, even if I'm the only one here who thinks so Manectric is also a good choice thanks to it's Mega Evolution. And I'm sure some people here could vouch for Breloom's awesomeness. And that's available from before the 1st gym! That's more than 6 decent 3rd gen Pokemon right there, and there's more coming up. I've purposefully left out Pokemon from the first two gens, so that gives even more choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftKaiser Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Find it little disappointing that Nintendo/Game Freaks rarely drop an event pokemon for Western trainers. I know that we can get those hidden ability Unova Starters via WonderTrade but it would be brilliant if they give the Western trainers same treatments they gave to the Japanese trainers. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe decide the events for other regions. Japan typically gets more events because people actually attend them so places are willing to hold. It's not fair to claim they treat Japan better because they are different divisions deciding these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pass down the hidden ability via breeding, do I need female versions? Yep, DCubed informed me. Already have one, but thanks anyway. You don't need female Pokemon to pass hidden abilities anymore. Males can pass it down if you breed it with a Ditto, it's less likely, but still possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Cheers. I'll reset for a female then. Unless it's gender locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite. It's 80% for a female to pass standard. 60% for Hidden. For males with Ditto, it's ~50%. It's definitely not 20%. I was breeding my Contrary Serperior a couple weeks back. Got 2 boxes with Contrary and 1 with Overgrow. If anything, that indicates 60% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yeah, it's certainly not 20%. Or I got lucky. Got sick of resetting for a female. Breed a female Snivy but it had Overgrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterCharmander13 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Oh good. I can FINALLY comment. I don't know why it didn't work before. Hello guys, I am new. I am playing Omega Ruby right now, and I'm in Lilycove City. My team is: "Nimbus" the Altaria - Level 37 "Terraris" the Camerupt - Level 38 "Kipper" the Swampert - Level 38 (Holding Swampertite) Gallade - Level 39 "Basslord" the Loudred - Level 38 (This one is from the shaking grass, and it had Hammer Arm, which was really usefull, since I didn't have a fighting type till Norman, Gallade, but he won't know any fighting move till Level 55 anyway) Chesnaught - Level 39 (WonderTrade) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Welcome to the forums @MasterCharmander13 it's always good to see some fresh faces signing up who are genuine posters. : peace: I reached roughly the same area of the game in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire when I was last playing it, from what I can recall none of my team are much about level 40. I would have played more but there are so many games out at the moment, though I will resolve to finish the game at some point. That will definitely be within the next few months as I can't forget to claim the codes for those special ability Serperior, Emboar and Samurott event download Pokémon as they will surely make decent additions to my team, I've always liked the series though I've found myself playing it gradually less with each incarnation even though I always finish the story eventually. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay and if you have any Pokémon related questions our resident expert @Serebii - you may have heard of his site I hear it's the biggest Pokémon resource on the internet or something? - will surely be happy to help.
