Pokemon- Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Discussion

[TheWonky]

I hope boys have more customisation options...

 

[Cress]

I'm pretty sure cusomization will return. When you're in a Wi-Fi battle, it shows both trainers with their customization, and I don't think they'll just give the people with OR/AS the default outfit. They also really have no reason to not bring it back.

 

[Mephisto Pheles]

I agree, I hope it's just an appeal thing that doesn't have too much of an affect. But in X and Y, most trainers didn't have access to mega evolution so it should be ok? You can choose to use it off you want and won't be at a disadvantage of your pokemon can't mega evolve.

Also I saw this on reddit!

Looks like trainer customisation is back or at the very least, May and Brendan have cute/cool outfits to match pikachu.

Edit; also Brendan without his hat!

I'm kinda doubting this hints that customization will be in OR/AS.. I can't speak Japanese, but I have the internet, am able to read hiragana/katakana, and can pretty easily guess borrowed words (so long as they're "English" lol), so this is what I could gather from that picture:

The big bold characters on the top say "shujinkou mo doresu appu!" - shujinkou apparently means "protagonist" or "hero, "mo" is a 'particle' whose function I don't totally understand yet, and "doresu appu" is - pretty obviously - "dress up".
So the top basically translates to something like "dress up your hero!", I guess.

Next is the white text.. it's blurry, so I can't read the furigana above the kanji in some places, but this is what I can make out:

Lucia ??? flashy clothes ??? stage

The "stage" part is what makes me think that the outfits are only for contests.

Another thing with trainer customization, while I liked it in X/Y, I wish it could be tweaked a bit. Like, the mandatory hats and purses thing was a drag for me as a female who never wears hats, nor carries purses, not sure if you guys felt the same way. Like, it should be optional to wear accessories imo.

Definitely not a major fault, whatsoever, just think it'd be cool to have the OPTION of accessories. Anywho, just my two cents.

But how will you carry your items if you don't have a bag?? (also I can kind of understand the hat thing - all of the protagonists in every Pokemon game so far have worn hats)

Does May's ribbon count as a hat? I guess it's more like all the protagonists have headgear.

 

[Stepheroo]

I don't need headgear. Just give me ACNL star boppers pls. I'll wear those and all the gym leaders will take me so seriously.

 

[Mephisto Pheles]

Yeah - May is somewhat of an "exception" because she doesn't exactly wear a "hat". Instead, she wears a bandana. (why is bandana underlined in red?? I know I spelled it right. /confused)

Bandanna. Two n's Either way, her ribbon is freakin cute. Really hope there's trainer customization outside of contests.

Also, found out that you can remove accessories in X/Y (like ribbons and feathers and such). So I guess we're almost there to hatless protagonists.

Ohhh - I always thought there was one N.. oops haha.

And accessories are more so "add-ons" than "take-aways", so I kind of doubt it. (then again, I know a lot of people complained about not being able to go hatless, so maybe it'll be a possibility one day lol)

I hope trainer customization isn't just for contests. I'll be upset if it is.

idk i mean the game is coming in what, roughly 3 months and two weeks? back when X&Y were coming, we already knew about trainer customization at this point. I know we really haven't had as much gameplay footage (whether it be a trailer of pics) that we had for X&Y, but in the ones we do have, there really isn't anything that hints towards trainer customization.
I guess without it being in the game, it remains "true" to the originals (which I can understand, but I also see how not including it is a huge - well not that huge - step down from X&Y), but with super secret bases, and as mentioned above, talking about Wi-Fi battles, and just showing the default characters would be boring, I still think it's possible we'll get it.
though I'd much rather have contest customization than no customization at all.

Mega chatot please /dreaming

YES MEGA CHATOT PLZ
i actually think it would look really cool. But tbh I'm not one of the people who is holding out for a certain mega, because I know most pokemon will get one eventually, so I've just gotta wait. But as I've said before, with Mega Lopunny, it'll be interesting to see what Gen 4 and 5 pokemon will get megas, and tbh I think Chatot is a pretty good contender if they're going to use more Pokemon such as Lopunny.

 

[Dim]

Mega Flygon please for the love of Arceus!

 

[Jawile]

i'm hoping for mega camerupt and mega crawdaunt
i really like camerupt despite never using it on my team
it was one of the first pokemon i ever raised to level 100, along with infernape and floatzel
it was the first pokemon i ev trained
it was the first masuda-method shint i got
so yeah i like camerupt

"The Pok?mon Company International has sent out a release detailing more about the news that has come this past week. It has also confirmed that the west is to get the Shiny Beldum event from game launch. Mega Lopunny gets increased Attack & Speed, Mega Salamence gets increased Defense and Mega Altaria getsincreased Attack & Special Attack, with a smaller Defense boost
Hordes have also been confirmed to return to the game, with an added bit against trainers. Cosplay Pikachu is confirmed to be separate to normal Pikachu and is the only one that can be dressed up.
Contest Spectacular has also got a brand new feature where you can use the 3DS's camera to implant yourself into the Pok?mon Contest stage. Like before, you can gain various fans as your contest successes mount, and these fans can give you various items such as berries and more. Also, this confirms that the creation of Pok?Blocks to improve your contest stat makes a return.

Cosplay pikachu being separate is such a bizarre choice.... Kind of disappointing that other pokemon won't be able to dress up.

 

[Colour Bandit]

I like that we are going to get trainer horde battles now, I think they will fit in well with the enemy teams since ganging up on one trainer sounds like something that they would do! (Also I always thought it was weird how in past games the grunts would just wait patiently when one or two of their team mates fought you)

EDIT: I'm also debating using the shiny Beldum on my team from the start... If we get the same type of EXP. Share we got in XY then I'll box it until we get that because I always find training Beldums a pain... I might also use the Cosplay Pikachu as Pikachu Belle in my team on AS since it will be relatively safe to use against ground types with Icicle Crash.

EDIT 2: http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-gb/characters/contest-idol-lisia
If you look at some of the pictures of Lisia it appears that she is in front of the contest hall in Slateport City, which indicates that the contest halls could be in the same cities as in RS instead of having battle tents in their place.

 

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

I think I'm going to emd up using the shiny Beldum on my team in OR if I can't think of anyone else to use. I think I'm going to have a team full of megas, that way, for each battle I can just sweep with the rigt one for the job! So Swampert and Metagross are my firat two members! For AS, I'm planning to do a shiny Badge Quest, starting with treecko.

 

[BATOCTO]

so glad pokeblocks are back... i miss making them with my friends it was so much fun.

also... WHERE WALLY?

 

[Trent the Paladin]

I'm not a fan of the male contest outfit, give me the tuxedo from the Gen IV contests or let me use the normal clothing. As it is, I'm already not a fan of the small redesign changes for Brendan. :/

Megamence reminds me of a jet personally, not boomerangs or croissants.

Just like the Torchic, I don't believe I'll use the Beldum but then again I'm already debating whether or not I want to breed a Bagon to use for OR.

omg u guys r just going to ignore my rant
