Yeah, pretty much. I ran into this issue trying to get a good hunter pokemon when I found that Sneasel can have Foresight as an egg move just like Farfetch'd, then realized Sneasel has way better stats, and has Pickpocket as a Hidden. Unfortunately, AR doesn't have a code for changing abilities at the moment.

....I suppose I could make the perfect pokemon for White 2, then transfer it into Y...

Oh, I should specify: it's not just that you need the parent to have Sniper if you want Sniper Beedrill. The parent actually has to be Sniper Beedrill.

I have a few Hidden Ability Pokomonz (no Sniper Beedrills, alas), and, once my 3DS is fully functional again, I could breed some for anyone who wants one.

However, it'll probably be a bit before I can do this, since, like I said, my DS is busted and needs fixin'.

I...may be relapsing and getting Alpha Sapphire soon. Anything I should know? Do we still have secret bases?

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Yes; a creepy pedo man introduces you to them. (Seriously. He greets you as "[his] young Trainer," despite the fact that you've never met before, and then invites you into his Secret Base. For some reason, every Pokemon game since Gen V is required to have a pedophile in it.) Also, long cutscenes are long, and annoying opposite gender player character is annoying.

Those are the only really bad things I can think about it, though.

Other things worth noting is that you get a Lati@s (that can be Mega Evolved) just after the 5th gym. The corresponding story segment feels kinda filler-y but you get a free legendary (don't even need to catch it, it's literally handed to you), so who's complaining? Also, it can digivolve Mega Evolve. (So can Groudon/Kyogre although in their case it's not technically Mega Evolution so you can Mega Evolve something in the same battle.) Because of this it's even easier than X/Y. Which is kinda ironic since Gen III was one of the harder generations.

Contests also return, along with PokeBlocks used to increase attributes such as Beauty. Fortunately, this time 'round there is no limit to how many 'Block's you can feed a Pokemon, which means that theoretically, you could max out all of their attributes.

Lessee...

Feebas is now super awesomely easy to catch: If you go under a bridge in Route 119 during the daytime, you will have a 100% chance of catching one.

After you beat the Elite Four for the first time, there is a post-end game story known as the "Delta Episode", which at the end of it allows you to catch a Deoxys.

There are some nifty surfing mechanics. If you ride on a Sharpedo, you'll move twice as fast while surfing, and if you ride on a Kyogre, you'll move slightly faster and be huge underwater.

It's possible to get both kinds of Bikes in this game! After you beat the Elite Four, if you show your bike to certain people, and return to the bike shop, the dude there will give you the other bike that you don't currently have.

The DexNav is your best friend. You can use it to find Pokemon with rare moves (one move is chosen from the Pokemon's Egg Move list at random) and/or their hidden abilities. The more you use it, the more likely you'll find a rare Pokemon.

That's some stuff off the top of my head.

Got it. Just letting the 2DS charge up.

Sapphire version is mine!

Once I get the hang of it, I'll happy to do all those fun trading and friend code things.

So I've gone through three gyms, and one of my online buddies sent me a ton of stuff. I've got a sizeable chunk of the starter pokemon across the generations now. And a ditto.

And one Umbreon, five level 1 eevees, and an eevee egg.

I'm kinda pleased with the Eevee's natures. Three of the five are biased towards Special Attack. They'll be good for Espeon, Vaporeon, like that.

I've more or less got the Friend Code thing sorted out, so, uh, I guess I'm down for trading if anyone wants stuff.

My friend code will be available for plunder once I've spanked my 3DS into behaving again.

No no, I'm pretty sure more sweat and semen is not what this situation calls for, Shrapnel.

Well, that should hurt...

I was reviewing the stuff I have.

The level 1 Chimchar has the Iron Fist ability. And Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, and Focus Punch.

I think. It's been awhile since I looked through my Pokemon Bank.

I've been working through my breeding chaff on Wonder Trade. It's surprisingly not shit.

Anyone got dittos of various personality types they willing to part with?

Man all this breeding for perfect stats is such a hassle, back in the days of G/S I had my Nidoking with Horn Attack, Iron Tail, Double Team, and Ice Beam and thought that was awesome.

I've got a ditto. If I have a nother I'll breed all the ones you want.

My now-Blaziken has a Brave nature. He's also working on really nice base attack stats.

I found out the move dude can bestow Flare Blitz and High Jump Kick.

Then I found two Heart Scales.

Ye.

Gods.

BLAZIKEN SHALL BE AS A FIREY GOD OF WRATH AND DESTRUCTION. ALL WHO STRIKE HIM WILL BE STRUCK DOWN WITH THE HEAT OF HIS WILL AND THE MIGHT OF HIS KNEE.

Ahem. Sorry. Had to get that out of my system.

Consider nabbing Protect/Detect if you give it Blazikenite. Every odd turn, stall and boost your speed. Every even turn, murderise something (optional: Bulk Up or something).

If you don't go for Mega-Evolution, don't bother with it, just maybe lead with a single Bulk Up, and then hammer things with kicks.

Further evidence of my Blaziken being awesome: His hidden power type is Dragon, according to the nice old lady in Fortree.

I've been giving Wonder Trade a shot, with extraneous stuff with rare moves, and then I bred up a batch of starters so I wouldn't be feeling bad if I got something good.

I haven't gotten any shiny eevees or level 100 Arceus, but it hasn't been bad.

It took a bit, but I was able to get the other two Kalos starters through Wondertrade. I've also gotten a charmander and a treecko, so, yeah. You get a lot of random crap, but you get some good stuff too.

Ok I just found out that Friend Safari is the way to go if you want perfect IV's for breeding. http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/696959-pokemon-x/faqs/68673

Every Pokemon you catch in Friend Safari has two perfect IV stats, so use of IV passing items and 3 generations of breeding can give you a Pokemon with perfect IV's in all 6 stats.

So playing Sapphire when I haven't been at parties/shopping/etc, I'm now about to challenge the Elite 4.

And have

-Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit (holy crap, my Azelf has a nature which boosts special attack and seems to have a Special Attack IV. His moves hit like a nuke. Even Latias felt 'em)

-Cressalia

-Heatran

-Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion

-Lugia

-Raikou, Entei, Suicune.

-Kyogre (of course)

-Thundurus

-Buddy traded me Reshiram. They have Ruby, so should be able to acquire the other legendaries.

-Increasing numbers of stuff I hadn't heard of, like Elegem.

-More fossils and their derivatives than I like to think about. (Kabuto, Omanyte, Tirtouga, Cranidos, Aerodactyl, Armaldo, that Sail fossil pokemon whose name I haven't learned yet).

-I have several Dittos now. Only one's got an IV, and I can't remember which and I'm working on getting more, but hey. Free Dittos, y'all.
