The nalstagia is hitting me like a freight train.

Pokemans yo. I used to play the mcshit out of it when i was young...ultimately it led to me notion pojeman cards and playing seriously which lead to me picking up mtg due to mtg being more immersive and easier to comprehend as a game

Clarification : it's a remake of a pokemon from ten years ago

and it's pretty great. I picked up Saphire, I recently started playing so I wasn't around for the originals. Only been playing for a month-ish, and loving it.

I am so stoked for the game man, It's the only pokemon I never beat (original ruby, that is). I was eight when I first played it, put 80+ hours in it but got stuck in victory road. I am ready for my revenge. And I also played pokemon, the card game, when I was younger it drove me towards mtg.

for me it was yugioh that drove me toward magic. I got tired of the bullshit than konami was doing with the game (look up spellbook of judgment. You don't even have to be familiar with the game, just look at it. It's merchant scroll with storm and chord of calling attached.)

Wait what? 80 hours of gameplay and you never beat the elite four? I could usually do it between 20-30 hours.
I'd play it, but I'd put it down once I finished the story. Not worth buying a new ds and game just for that

Unforgivn_II I got stuck in victory road, i never reached the Elite Four. If so It would have been no problem, I normally beat the games in about 30 hours.

Oh, ok. I still have my yellow blue and red versions from the original games. It was a lot of fun back in the day. I stopped playing after fire red and leaf green. I want a fan of ruby/emerald or the ones that came after.

Dalektable - did you get glitched or something? Like, I'm sure you could have found the game guide and worked your way through otherwise

Unforgivn_II I don't know man, I was 8 at the time. All I remember is I never beat the game because I didn't make it past victory road.

I played yugioh too at the time. Traded all 2000 of my cards for a couple hundred mtg and never looked back
November 22, 2014 1:48 p.m.
Has anyone got to the end of omega ruby or sapphire? I want to know what the end game is like? Black and white 2 had great endgames but X and Y were pretty weak after the elite 4.

Completely worth it. It's funny, I had a 250$ gladiator beast deck, and thought it was so absurdly expensive and was the pinnacle of my deckbuilding. Oh how wrong I was.

I want this game. So bad. Curse not having a 3/2DS.
ChiefBell, part of the post-game is the Delta Episode, which includes Mega Rayquaza and a legit in-game Deoxys.

I just made it to newport haha i wingul op man. It's been crushing everything
November 22, 2014 1:56 p.m.
When you do finish the elite 4 please can you tell me what happens next? I would love there to be a battle tower or something.
November 22, 2014 2:03 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #20
I shall do that. I'll be playing it all vacation so I'm sure I'll be done soonish
November 22, 2014 2:05 p.m.
I mean if you didn't play yellow on a gameboy color than we can't be friends. still got mine.
November 22, 2014 2:56 p.m.
TelleoStar says... #22
I played Yellow on a color! Can we be friends?
I also played red and blue, and then crystal and then ruby/sapphire/emerald. Not all on a color, obviously.
November 22, 2014 2:59 p.m.
X and y were crap. I plan to get alpga sapphire. the nostalgia will be worth it. Nostalgia is what got me back into mtg after all
November 22, 2014 3:51 p.m.
Got Omega Ruby on Friday. Haven't been on the Internet until just now.
So. How bout dat Delta Chapter?

Is Deoxys really as much of a pushover as I've heard?
November 24, 2014 1:36 a.m.
VampireArmy says... #27
Dat delta chapter was adorable. I ship The hell outa Brendan and May :) on the other hand, i am enjoying my rayquayza as i am a lover of dragon types. I picked mudkip though as my starter because i did that ten years ago wanting to change from always picking fire...best decision for this series.
I only just caught deoxys but i assume it's not as good as it used to be.
November 24, 2014 2:26 a.m.
I can't wait to play this. My brother was awesome enough to pick me up a copy of Omega Ruby, so I get to play it next time I see him. I really hope they have all the same end content that they did in Emerald, because that battle pyramid was amazing.

VampireArmy says... #29
Actually yes you do get to go to battle island but that's all I'll spoil. The ending is extremely immersive and reading up on it will be way less fun
November 24, 2014 2:35 a.m.
I can't wait. I just hope my brother doesn't spoil everything!

I bought cry from how much they put into this game. Even Surrey completely finishing the entire main story delta and all i find out there's more! Clearly someone was channeling their inner Billy Mayes when they made this game. But wait there's more!
November 24, 2014 4:58 a.m.
I beat the Delta chapter twice yesterday (killed a certain legendary Pokemon at the end by accident and realized I hadn't saved the entire time) and it was great.
@Ghost: Deoxys was a bitch to catch because it has Recover, but I haven't used it in battle yet. I don't use legendaries in battle, they're too OP for any part of the gameplay and just no fun in multiplayer.
November 24, 2014 9:19 a.m.
Have to admit the lack of the battle frontier really aggravated me. I was looking forward to doing the battle pyramid.
November 26, 2014 2:34 a.m.
I'm just disappointed that the Battle Resort storyline isn't out yet. I wanna know the deal with Looker. And Steven. And Archie (if you have OR, Maxie if AS).
November 26, 2014 2:41 a.m.
Sort of necrobump, sort of not. What's the end game like guys? Is there a battle tower like in Black and White 2? Is there somewhere where you can battle trainers that have level 70+ pokemon?
December 2, 2014 12:32 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #36
theres a battle tower and an endless amount of random things to discover along the paths. new pokemon and whatnot
December 2, 2014 12:41 p.m.
So I can battle really high levelled opponents? Sweet.
December 2, 2014 12:46 p.m.
VampireArmy says... #38
it's notable to mention that when you rebattle random passerbys, thier pokemon level up too. so far theyre up to about 45 respectively
December 2, 2014 12:54 p.m.
The second time going through the Pokemon league, their levels are around 70-75. I was not expecting that going in with my level 60s...
December 2, 2014 1:15 p.m.
At least the elite 4 do level up. In the originals they stayed at such low levels that you couldn't hardly level your guys past level 75 unless you wanted to spend a whole weekened doing nothing but rebattling them.

VampireArmy says... #42
If you have Wi-Fi I recommend visiting other people's bases and adding them to yours. If you have the level release, you get to battle their actual pokemon and often they're about 70-100
December 2, 2014 2:12 p.m.
@K34: I spent a whole summer rebattling them. At the end, I had four level 100s and 999 premier balls.
Only four.
Glad training is easier now.
December 2, 2014 3:28 p.m.
HorrorAvengers says... #44
I honestly just get most of my pokemon to level 50, I do a lot of battlespot. I have 1 team of 100s and that's enough for me. Greninja, Charizard X, Aegislash, (shiny) Trevenant, Scizor, and Gengar.
