You're welcome! Glad I could help! :D

This will be a better use of that ink and paper than if the book didn't explode!

Few months late, but here's a rundown of how it works:

This makes sense, but only to a degree. There's literally zero justification for not being able to at LEAST be able to select your skin, eye, and hair color other than Gamefreak laziness.

Your encounters with primal reversion will primarily happen thanks to either Team Aqua or Team Magma, depending on which version of the game you get. Both Team Rocket-esque villain groups want to revive an ancient Pokémon in the hope of transforming the world through their power. While the version-specific enemy is…

Unfortunately, no. At least, not yet. No Mew or Jirachi or Celebi, though you can bring them in via Poke Transfer and Poke Bank if you have them from events in gens III - V. The only exception to this afaik is that you can get Cresselia, which was, I think, an event Pokemon in D/P/Pt. Perhaps they'll add in more as we…

I've heard WTing is better around 8 pm EST. People put better shit up, though it's still up to chance. That's around the same time I got a shiny 100 Gardevoir with the best stats and nature. I almost spontaneously combusted, I'm still shocked I got it via WT!

To me, ORAS feels by far the most lived-in Pokemon world at this point. There are a lot of very nice touches to everything - including some areas having random Pokemon flybys, the dexnav, etc. It's very cool seeing a few Luvdisc hanging around undersea and them scattering when they see you. c:

I think the closest the moms come to having an outside life is in G/S/C/HG/SS when she'll buy random stuff with your money. I've always wanted that too, though. From what I understand, the mom in ORAS might have a bit of a role. Delta Episode starts out with a sad convo between her and Norman, so hopefully she'll get…

BW2 had the Pokemon World Tournament or something like that and you could battle pretty much every important gym leader and such from the series. Even champions. Like Red.
The Battle Resort isn't copypasted from X and Y, but the Battle Maison within it is. No Battle Frontier unfortunately, though NPCs in the area talk…

Nope. X/Y and ORAS are fully interactable, at least trade-wise. You just can't trade items (like Orbs/Mega Stones) that are exclusive to ORAS over to X/Y, since they didn't exist in those games. I've literally traded about two boxes full of Pokemon over from my copy of Y. I've also Wonder Traded with others playing…

Also! If you visit your mom once you beat the game and do the extra story stuff, she'll give you the stone for whichever legendary you don't have, Latias or Latios. She's cool like that.

One of the other major criticisms thrown at Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is that the games contain too much sea adventuring. As you may know, water, unlike land, is random-encounter land. Everywhere you go, you might get tossed into a random battle. Personally, I've never felt that the game is excessive in this…

You get your version Lati@s right after crossing the sea near Mauville. Before you even hit Fortree.

Little late with this - but nope! You get it automatically late in the game. You're thinking of the Eon Ticket, which allows you to revisit Southern Island and catch the other Lati.

Worth using because: you can use the Eon Flute, which lets you fly around in the sky. It's a cool feature, but more importantly, it lets you capture other legendary Pokémon. So don't release Latias or Latios, whatever you do.

She's one of the three trainers across Hoenn you can speak to that will allow you to own both the Acro and Mach Bikes in your Key Items after you beat the Delta Episode. You show her the Mach, a trainer near Fortree the Acro, and one of the two to someone in the Battle Resort (unlocked after beating said Episode),…

It's SATAJGF.

Yes. Oh my gosh, yes. I like this idea. Can this be a thing?

I'm not saying that her offer is completely awful, nor is it unreasonable that she'd be leery of lending the money given her experiences. My point is that she still worked in Objectivism here in a completely sincere manner. She was in no way trolling or with her beliefs. That's what I'm saying is frightening.
