Yeah this probably won't come true; the lack of a Fighting resist hurts and Healer is too unreliable to work well. Aromatisse outclasses it as a Trick Room setter due to Aroma Veil and the whole "not a Mega" thing, and Aromatisse itself is a little on the mediocre side. Mega Audino has cool defensive potential, but I don't see it performing too well in practice (especially with no recovery since Wish in Doubles just doesn't work out).
I should probably copy-paste this somewhere. Got a feeling it'll be incredibly useful...

Honestly I wouldn't be disappointed if they just brought back the words / phrases they made you use for the trendy phrase and all that. The Frontier had some really funny ones, who can forget such classics like 'POUND THE THICK FAT ON MY BELLY DRUM' or 'I AM FEELING WEIRD FROM A DREAM.' I mean technology was kinda limited back then so they probably won't have to resort to that but it would be funny to see what people could come up with for their gym phrase. Would be more interesting than just giving them free reign to write what they want at least...
I'm sure Stellar will update the Horde training thread and on-site guide once ORAS is out. Or I dunno, CP it to a .txt file or something..?
For what it's worth, we can already write (almost) whatever we like in XY in things like shoutouts, so we might not have to resort to preset messages. Though I wonder if trendy phrases will make a come back...
Yeah, if they allow us to write in anything for the shoutouts I don't see why they would limit us again as long as they make sure the filters were on. Of course we'd be very limited to what we can say, but as cant say proved that doesn't stop people from trying to make something sound dirty with stock phrases. :P
Stop admitting that you would draw phalluses everywhere.
Other than maybe a new egg move or two?
Nah, I'd draw Charizards everywhere. I just know certain people who would do the other.
IIRC HGSS and Emerald both tweaked it slightly.
Each set of games seems to bring something new to breeding. Aside from changes made in between generations, such as the glorious new fate of the Destiny Knot, egg shells no longer being worth any experience points, Masuda, and of course, the allowance of incest in the name of finding the perfect specimen, each followup to the core games since Gen III has introduced something new:
Personally I don't think they should have limited Abilities to a max two normal Abilities and a Hidden Ability. Why not allow for tutored Abilities or Egg Abilities? Or have Abilities we can only access via the Ability Capsule. But this is going into the direction of wishful thinking.
I see. Hmm, what advancements did RS bring to Breeding? Maybe they'll further enhance those introduced mechanics since these are RS remakes. Just a thought.
Then why bring it up if you're just going to wishlist?
Actually, HeartGold and SoulSilver did changed how Everstone worked. In Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it only worked when the female held an Everstone. Starting in HeartGold and SoulSilver, males could hold the Everstone to pass along natures.
Despite the changes in Gen III (the modification of the EV/IV system, Natures, Abilities), there wasn't a lot different in breeding between Crystal and Ruby/Sapphire. What I mean is that the only thing you had any sort of control was Egg Moves. The only new thing in Ruby and Sapphire breeding-wise was the introduction of the Lax and Sea Incense to produce Wynaut and Azurill respectively. Emerald was when Game Freak started to make it easier to breed, leading up to X and Y making it incredibly easy to produce amazing Pokémon without needed to sell your soul and/or use an Action Replay/Game Shark.
Oh, I remember that now. I didn't do much breeding back then, but I do recall the everstone being useful to the mother now; I don't think I ever really caught the point where that changed in the first place. Sorry about that. Maybe we will get a more significant upgrade to breeding in ORAS after all.
Make it so you can combine Destiny Knot's IV transferring effect with the Power item's IV transferring effect, followed by breeding two Pokemon with the same nature guaranteeing that the infant gets that nature. That's two ways to improve breeding tremendously. It'd make breeding for a Hidden Power much easier, I'll tell you that.
This, this, very much this. Particularly the bit about passing the nature if both parents have the same one. Even if they went with the original 50% chance of the Everstone, this would make things much easier in certain cases, such as in Hidden Power breeding, as you mentioned, or in cases where an incense would be needed, such as with Self Destruct Munchlax.
Agreed. Maybe change the Incense to act as a pseudo-Everstone if it the Species result is altered by it.
What I'm hoping is that Cosplay Pika gets Volt Tackle which, in tandem with Light Ball, gives you a solid physical attacker...in a dress...
