I believe with each run through of the Elite 4 you get to select a starter from those generations. 1st: Gen II, 2nd: Gen V, 3rd, Gen IV.
Anyone know the highest prize money trainers that you can rematch? I know that the best is the Gentleman near Lilycove and I think that the second is probably the Rich Boy by Petalburg Woods. If you're using a Prize Money O-power then you should have time to fight at least one more trainer before your 3 minutes are up.
I was having a problem getting subsequent legendary beasts to spawn, but when I eon fluted away from the trackless forest and returned right to it, they spawned just fine. Previously I would fly out of there, so maybe that glitches the respawn?
What do you think of these? Suicune has HP ice and got my perfect Raikou spread :(
Suicune: bold 28/1/30/31/31/31
Entei: adamant 31/30/31/31/31/29
Raikou: timid HP ice 31/x/30/31/15/31

Hoping they just combine it into the Pokedex. As of right now the Pokedex only is a Pokemon listing. Sure it can be used for some helpful stuff like finding where a certain Pokemon is (especially a roaming Legendary), but overall I don't find myself going into the Pokedex very often. I think combining the DexNav into the Pokedex will make the Pokedex more useful as well as keep one of the best introduced features. Who know's maybe combining the two will bring out more functions...
Yeah, I noticed that while catching some other Pokemon too. It only worked when the Pokemon was actively out battling (thus first in the party). So yeah, it might be more difficult to get a certain nature with Synchronize if the Pokemon can't take a hit (meaning the Modest, Jolly, Timid, and Adamant Ralts I captured might be useless and I just wasted a few hours).
Great to see it, though could we make it default from the start? For this game I guess its fine since it's introducing the idea, but still next game there's no excuse.
Of course I'm so used to how it was that I keep scrolling down...
In that case it's not random as those are the same natures I got. Whatever, saves us the hassle. ;)
As Mario With Lasers said, the only time she mentioned "daughter" was referring how she felt as proud of Aster as a mother of a daughter. Don't know how old Zinnia is but I think she's too young to have a daughter, I think she's only suppose to be a few years older compared to the player.
It was mentioned that Draconians to believe in necessary sacrifice. I was confused why she thought summoning Rayquaza would kill her though, then again being we had to go with Rayquaza into space (guess Mega Evolution is short range) maybe she thought he would have to go with Rayquaza into space, though she doesn't have a spacesuit so she would have died (though wouldn't be deactivate the Mega Evolution since the bond is suppose to be on between trainer and Pokemon and there can't really be a bond if one of the bond members is dead). But yeah, I do wish they kind of explained who Aster was, maybe it'll explain some of her actions. I would say mother but that seem a bit too predictable, so maybe sister? I'm assuming whoever Aster is that they're female, her Whismur specifically was mentioned to be female. Also curious if whoever Aster is how they died. Was it too a necessary sacrifice, and for what?
My Game Stuff:
So I've pretty much just been going around and filling out my DexNav, Pokedex, and getting the gift/interactable Pokemon. Haven't gone for any of the Legendaries yet, maybe tomorrow. Actually thinking about first re-challenging the Elite Four so everything is reset.
And I did a terrible thing... I helped create Mr. Bonding...
That said there's still somethings in Mauville Hills I have no idea what their purpose is for yet. Like the Composer, his fan, the guy who watches the hall, the shut-in, the ice cream kid (has anyone brought her a Vanillite?), the offices (why is there two?), and the vacant house (will there be sort of another Villa thing?). There still seems like a lot of mysteries still left in the game yet no one has figured the out, if they can be figured out. Like with Looker (has anyone brought his a Croagunk?).
We have just made a Simple Questions, Simple Answers thread for ORAS. All questions go in there.
Thanks.
This thread will be locked shortly, as soon as we've got around to make the sufficient threads to succeed it.

So umm...we can still post here for now right?
You know, about that whole walling P-Groudon with an Air Balloon-holding Houndoom a lot earlier in this thread, I was thinking a Ninetales holding the same item would work better. Just give it Rest and Imprison, and P-Groudon won't be able to heal. Granted, that creates the problem of it not being able to sleep itself, but 50 Timer Balls should be more than sufficient for that. :x

She'll give you a Castelia Cone once a day if you show her a Regice.

That is, all questions apart from "keep or toss" questions, which go in the Wi-Fi SQSA thread, which, as the name implies, is in the Wi-Fi section.
Hahahha, I didn't see the edit and posted there
I posted at the right place now, don't worry, you can delete it. Thanks for the orientation and sorry I posted in the wrong place.
From what I've managed to gather, here's some Shiny information from around the internet. Take it all with some packets of salt.
99.9% Confirmed Shiny Lock: Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza (Logic being all have in depth cutscenes, and also that there was a post on Reddit where a user caught a normal Kyogre, but the dex entry appeared Shiny)
99% Confirmed Shiny Lock: Deoxys (the logic here is there's not cutscene in the rebattle)
Unsure of Shiny Lock: Weather Genie Trio (No pictures that I've seen of any of them being shiny.
Very Likely not Locked: Regigigas (http://i.imgur.com/r4t62BG.jpg)
99.9% Shiny Available: Everything else that's soft resettable (Including Spiritomb)
Going to SR for a 6IV Hasty Deoxys, will let you know if I encounter a shiny.

If anyone has faced both lisia and wallace in the same contest (probably beauty master rank tbh) you will see a cutscene afterwards which explains Lisia's green hair and craziness...I don't know if it happens at whatever time you first face off against wallace or something, but it is interesting nonetheless
You don't want Hasty, go for Naive, Jolly, or Rash.
With ORAS finally released worldwide, I think it's time to retire this thread. The ORAS Experiences thread will take over the general discussion from now on. Questions go in the SQSA thread, discussion on contests goes in the Contest thread, discussion on the Maison goes in the Maison thread, discussion on in-game tiers goes in the in-game tiers thread, and it's up to you to find out where to discuss Secret Bases.
It's been a fun pre-release period, with many good guesses and interesting perspectives as to what ORAS would turn out like. We had many great discussions in here, and I'm certainly looking forward to the next pre-release period. As Orange Islands only concerns confirmed, announced and released games, we have no place to theorize about that on the forums, but the topic is allowed to be brought up on our IRC channel.
Until next time!
