It's been awhile since I've talked about my playthrough of Pokemon: Omega Ruby. I've made a lot of progress since my last entry about it. Here are the highlights: 1. I beat the Elite Four. I sailed through it for the most part. Steven gave me some trouble at the end of it, but I was able to beat him too. I even challenged myself to not use Mega Evolution in any of the battles, and I still beat them. I'm really glad my team was able to pull it off. 2. I really like how the official story ended. It gave more closure to your rival than that which was given to him or her in the original games, which I thought was really neat. I also liked how it showed you each Pokemon you used to beat each Gym Leader as the credits rolled. I thought that was very cool. 3. I also completed the Delta Episode. I really liked it overall, especially since it let you revisit areas of the game that you wouldn't have needed to otherwise. Its story was good too. I in particular liked the little tie ins to Pokemon X and Y. Plus, they were some tough battles throughout the episodes, which were nice to see. 4. Towards the end of the Delta Episode, I caught Rayquaza. I don't know if I would called that a great accomplishment though, as I caught it after only throwing one Ultra Ball at it. Since you need this Pokemon to complete the Delta Episode, it makes me think that you were suppose to catch it that easily. But I also read on another site that it took someone six tries to catch Rayquaza. So I don't know if I just lucked out or if that person was just having really bad luck with catching it. 5. I caught Deoxys when it showed up. I took the easy route with it and used my Master Ball to catch it. I did this because I was afraid that if I failed to catch it, I would have to restart the whole end of the Delta Episode and catch Rayquaza again. (Because, again, I didn't know if I just lucked out catching it at the time.) I wasn't planning on using the Master Ball on anything else though, so using it on Deoxys isn't that big of the deal for me. 6. Speaking of Legendary Pokemon, I've caught all the Legendaries I can catch in the game save for Cresselia. A lot of them were challenging to catch once I found them, which I was glad to see after how easy Legendaries became to catch in Pokemon Y. It also feels good having one of your boxes filled with a bunch of super powerful Pokemon. 7. I've also been collecting the Pokemon being given out for Pokemon's 20th Anniversary. I've already gotten the four released so far. (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Darkrai) I look forward to getting the rest when they come out. There's also shiny Legendary Pokemon from X and Y being given out this month to promote the new season of the show. I've managed to obtain both a Shiny Yveltal and a Shiny Xerneas. There was also a Shiny Zygarde given out, but I missed out on that one. And that's about it. I'm currently at the Battle Resort, getting my team ready to take on the challenges there. I've already have some experience with it from my Pokemon Y playthrough, so I know kind of what to expect. I plan to take on the Elite Four again sometime in the future as well, as I've read that they are stronger the second time you face them. And I'm also attempting to fill up my Pokedex as much as I can. I don't plan to 100% it, but I would like to see how far I can get with catching all the Pokemon I can in the game. That's all for now.

Storywise, I really haven't haven't gotten that much farther in the game other than going through Victory Road. It wasn't that hard of a challenge, but man did that route have some great TMs! It had both Flamethrower and Psychic, which are amazing moves that I taught to Camerupt and Latios as soon as I got them. Plus, all my Pokemon are level 50 now. Hopefully they will be strong enough for the Elite Four when I finally get around to challenging them. And what have I been doing all this time? Two things: 1. I have been roaming the Hoenn Region in search of all the Legendary Pokemon I can catch. I did manage to catch Regigigas after I finally find out where it was. I also learned that Omega Ruby stuffed full of Legendaries from other regions. So far, I caught Ho-oh, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Palkia, Cobalion, Tornadus, and Reshiram. I know there are still a couple more I can catch, but I may hold off on them until I finally beat the Elite Four. I still haven't decided yet. 2. As I've mentioned before, I've been training my Skitty to become a master in all the rankings in the Pokemon Contests. And I'm happy to report that we've succeeded. My Skitty is now the coolest, toughest, most clever, most beautiful, and cutest Skitty in the Hoenn Region. There is even a special ribbon you get if you get one Pokemon through all the ranks, so I guess the developers knew someone would try to do something like this in the game. Anyways, that's all I've done in the game since my last update on it. Hopefully I will be able to say I beat the Elite Four when I post my next progress report.

It's been two months since I've posted anything about my playthrough of Pokemon: Omega Ruby. I still haven't finished the main game yet thanks to the busy season of my job starting up, catching up on everything I've missed since the busy season of my job started up, and my own laziness. But I have made some progress in the game. And that progress is this: 1. I've now beaten all eight of the Hoenn Gym Leaders, so I'm ready to go the Pokemon League now. I haven't yet though, because there are other things I want to do in the game. 2. I've collected the Celebi and Jirachi given out for Pokemon's 20th anniversary. I hope to get the others when they are released. 3. My personally challenge to have my Skitty be in the Master Rank of all five sections of the Pokemon Contests continues on. It has become a master in all the ranks except for coolness, though I intend to start getting it ready for that soon. I was worried that it wouldn't be able to complete the toughness rank, but then it learned double-edge at level 40. That move helped me a lot in that rank. 4. My current team I'm using consists of Sceptile, Swellow, Aggron, Camerupt, Manectric, and Latios. All of them at level 47 at the moment. I have the Mega Stones for all of them that have them except for Camerupt. Though I've been trying not to use Mega Evolution on them to add an extra challenge to the game. Plus I want to try different items on my Pokemon as well. 5. I caught Groudon when it showed up. And I will tell you now, my team was not equipped to fight it. Especially since it went through Primal Reversion to become Primal Groudon. With four of my Pokemon weak to its moves, plus it having the move Rest, it was not an easy battle. Which....I actually didn't mind too much. After seeing how easy the Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon X were to catch, having one as a challenge again reminded me of the old Pokemon games and their Legendary Pokemon. And after a couple of resets, I did finally manage to catch it. 6. I was given the Eon Flute shortly after catching Groudon. At first, I thought it was just a way so that you didn't have to have a Pokemon who knew Fly in your party to quick travel across the map. But boy, was I wrong. I soon learned that you flying on Latios's back allowed you to travel to places you couldn't before. I traveled to an island that had wild Porygon on it. Wild! Porygon! I've never seen them in the wild before. I was shocked when I ran into it. I also learned that you could fight Flying Type Pokemon while flying on Latios, as I learned when I ran into a flock a birds. I then proceeded in scaring the entire Hoenn Region as I sent out Primal Groudon, one of the heaviest Pokemon in existence, to float in midair and do battle with a level 40 Tallow. 7. Speaking of catching Pokemon, I also caught Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. I have a little history with these three Pokemon from the original Pokemon Ruby, in that I didn't even learn they were in that game until I saw a youtuber play through Pokemon Emerald at least five years after I got the game! I then learned what you had to do to unlock them in that game, and this technique is also what is needed to unlock them in Omega Ruby. Basically, you have to find a hidden cavern west of Pacifidlog Town. You have to use Dive in a certain spot, travel underwater until you find braille text on a wall, then surface there to find land. You also need to have a Relicanth as the first member of your party and a Wailord as the last member. Then you read more braille text, then use Dig at that exact spot. This opens an entrance to a cavern with more braille texts on stone walls. You then read all the texts, which then opens the caves that house these three Pokemon. Complicated, isn't it? That's not even mentioning what you have to do in each cave once you get to one, though those tasks are not as complicated as this one. Anyways, I went after each one of them. The first one I fought was Regice. Out of the three, it gave me the most trouble. (If you count accidentally knocking it out once giving you trouble. ) I had to reset on it a couple times, just like Groudon, but at the end of the day I got it. Then I went up against Registeel, who apparently didn't want to put up that much of a fight against me. I paralyzed it, got its health to the red, and then caught it with the first Ultra Ball I threw at it. All that left was Regirock. I did the same thing to it as I did to Regice, in that I paralyzed it and wore it's health down to the red. But unlike its brother, it wanted to put up a fight, as it wouldn't be caught in the Dusk Balls or Ultra Balls I threw at it. So to shake things up, I jokingly threw a Net Ball at it, just to see what would happen. And I guess Regirock liked that particular Pokeball, because that is the one that caught it. I don't know what the chances are of a Net Ball catching a Regirock, but I'm thinking I luck out on that catch. Anyways, that's all the major progress I've made in the game. I'm going to try to see if I can catch Regigigas next if I can, train my Skitty up for the Cool Rank of the Pokemon Contests, then head off to the Pokemon League.

Zoroark lvl 60 Porygon Z lvl 50 Haxorus lvl 60 Raikou lvl 50 Rayquaza lvl 70 Munna lvl 15 Meowstic (male) lvl 61 Shiny for Shiny. GET OFF MY LAWN! ~Tekulo <3

I've had the game for a few months now, but I was still playing through Pokemon Y again when I bought it. And I didn't want to be playing through the two games at the same time. So I finally finished Y a week or so ago and now have started Pokemon Omega Ruby. And can I just say that I've enjoyed it a lot so far. The game looks beautiful. It really uses the Pokemon X and Y design to make Hoenn look amazing. Just seeing the title screen of the game alone gets me pumped up to continue my adventure. The music is also really good. The original Ruby and Sapphire games had some great music to begin with, and hearing it in this game just brings back many childhood memories. I also feel like the game improves on some of the things from X and Y. The Pokedex in X and Y was a little too complicated IMO, and I only really used it for tracking down the Legendary Bird when it showed up in the games. The Pokedex here, however, feels simpler to use, and I think that great because it makes it more useful to me. I also really love how it looks. It's simplistic design is just look great to me. The new APP device for finding Pokemon is really neat. I've used it to find some interesting Pokemon, including one I wanted to use on my team, a Taillow. Of course, the one I found was at level 15, knocked out my starter in one hit, and the only reason I caught was because I threw a Pokeball at it at near full health and somehow it didn't break free. Now it's mine, and I haven't even challenged the first gym yet! (I just got to Rustboro as of this post.) I kind of feel overpowered at the moment. Overall, I'm really glad to finally be playing this game. I knew I was going to enjoy playing it, but I didn't expect to feel the excitement I feel as I play it. I can't wait to continue exploring this region again.

An Omega Adventure: Part 4-Contests, Rivals, and Evolutions
JiMing posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_1804
Stunned, Jim went up to each Magma grunt in the line and questioned what they were doing. Responses ranged from telling him to stop cutting in line to mentioning how they were polite for paying the entrance fee..... And one who wondered if they should take the museum by force. While his unease was only heightened, Jim backed off and let the grunts go, as he didn't want to have to deal with fighting all of them at once right then and there. The trainer rushed off to the shipyard, where Captain Stern was apparently located. However, going there, the captain's assistant, Dock, informed Jim that Stern left for the Oceanic Museum-the very location the Magma grunts congregated in. He wasted no time to run back, fearing for the Captain's safety. Yet when he returned, all of the Magma grunts who had been waiting outside evidently got through the reception. In fact, most of them were peacefully observing the displays. One of them even recognized Jim as the one who had beaten them before, giving the young boy the TM for Thief before hightailing it. While there were a lot of Magma grunts around on the first floor, Stern was nowhere to be found. Therefore, using the power of logic, Jim went upstairs, and lo and behold, Captain Stern was there to claim the Devon Parts. Yet two grunts had been waiting for the parts, and demanded Stern hand them over. After a few deep breaths and reminder of how easily the last grunt he had taken on was dealt with, Jim challenged the first grunt, winning with no losses. The second fared no better, confusing the trainer how they could be so weak. Then, before more grunts could show up, a thin, glasses-wearing man with cold eyes walked in. He introduced himself as Maxie, leader of Team Magma. Their goal evidently was to expand the landmass, providing more space for humanity to develop and exploit. Those words made Jim and his Pokemon's blood boil. How was it possible for someone to be so cold and callous?! The group wanted to stop Magma's plans right then and there but Maxie chose to withdraw the grunts from the museum. While glad he didn't actually have to take on the entire organization at once, the thought of what they were planning made Jim shudder. With nothing left to do in Slateport, it was time to head to the next Gym. However, a large crowd was gathering around the. Pokemon Contest Hall, piquing Jim's curiosity. Making his way into said crowd, he saw a young woman in flashy clothes speak to the entranced audience. Apparently she was Lisia, a Contest idol on her hundreth talent scouting adventure. Despite screams from rabid fans, she chose Jim, who had never even heard of her or seen her performances. Despite the death glares he got, Jim agreed to participate in a Contest. Bree conveniently had many 'Cool' moves, and so he participated in the Cool category. After feeding her many Pokeblocks and dressing up in a (rather tacky) outfit provided by Lisia that somehow fit his measurements perfectly, Jim went on to take the crowd and Contest by storm, as Lisia's chosen star. Even with his victory in his first performance, Jim wanted to get a move on and head to Mauville to continue his quest for the Gym Badges. Despite her confidence and peppy attitude, the trainer also felt somewhat nervous around Lisia too.... As if being around the Contest star conflicted with... Someone else. Jade even picked up on his unnerved behavior, asking what was wrong. But there was no answer to be had. It took a thanks and promise to compete again to wriggle out of the Contest Hall and Slateport. Beforehand, he received a special 'Cosplay' Pikachu who could learn new moves depending on the costume it had. Which, I guess was cool. Pokemon Acquired!-Heather the Cosplay Pikachu Heather doesn't speak much aside from the occasional 'Pika!' Instead, the maybe one-of-a-kind Pikachu prefers to express herself through bombastic and over-the-top motions. Being so unique has inflated her ego somewhat, though thankfully she's fully tolerable to the Pokemon of the PC. Some of her fellow Electric-types have even befriended her! And so it was off to Route 110 for Jim and his team! Right off the bat, a Gulpin was caught and sent to the PC. Pokemon Acquired!-NomNom the Gulpin NomNom loves eating food. As in, a lot. In fact, eating is one of the only things that worries this relaxed muncher. And if there's no food around at the moment, NomNom is strong willed enough to find a way to acquired some. Keep your lunches away, folks! After much exploring, Jim ran into May on the Route! Apparently she had expanded her team and wished to challenge him, a wish he obliged too. While it was true her team was a massive improvement over having one unevolved starter, it was still a cakewalk for Jim and his full team to tackle. Jade even evolved during the battle into a Kirlia! May once more was rather impressed at how far Jim had come in such a short time. After all, he had only started being a trainer back at Littleroot! Even he was baffled at how quickly he picked up on the skills. However, it was quickly becoming clear that May had to leave in order to continue her fieldwork, and in that moment, Jim suddenly felt conflicted to mention his exploits at the Contest Hall. Before he could come to a decision though, May had left and it was onwards to Mauville for Jim. He had heard tales of how large the city had become, but the sheer size of Mauville still caught Jim and his team off guard. It was like the city was just one massive shopping center with living quarters upstairs. After a few minutes of deliberation, he decided to start at Rydel's Bike Shop. Kindly enough, Rydel allowed Jim to take not one, but two bikes for free! Even though he had to switch between bikes, this was by far the best deal he had ever gotten. After choosing the Mach Bike, Jim thought back to the Granite Cave. Could those muddy slopes be traversed at such a high speed? After returning to Dewford to check, it turned out that was indeed the case! The trainer had the opportunity to explore new sections of the cave, and caught two Pokemon. Pokemon Acquired!-Diamond the Aron Most of the time, Diamond is a lax Pokemon. She never really enforces or backs up her requests. She is however, defiant to not listen to the requests of others. How is that possible for one Pokemon to have those two traits at the same time? I'm not sure. Pokemon Acquired!-Futakuchiona the Mawile Futakuchiona is quiet. As in, truly quiet. She never utters a peep, ever, or does much of anything. That combined with her hair mouth makes the Mawile quite unnerving to the other denizens of the PC. And for good reason too, she's aggressive and loves to fight. Best to keep away! Afterwards, Jim made his way back to Mauville to take on the Gym! Every single one of his team members evolved save for Stormageddon. Combined with his lack of importance during key battles, the Wingull was getting frustrated. Was he useless? Gerridae no longer being a water type meant he had no one to compete with either. The others did what they could to cheer Stormageddon up, but nothing could snap him out of it. When reaching the Gym, there was none other than Wally, who was begging for his uncle to let him challenge Wattson. In a desperate measure to prove himself, Wally took on Jim. Sadly, only having one Ralts against a full team left him little chance of success, and so he was defeated in short order. Naturally, the sickly boy was disheartened... But seemed to gain a sort of resolve as he left. Nevertheless, it was Gym time! The electric barriers seemed rather unsafe, but that was of little consequence as Jim made it past the puzzle in short order. It quickly came down to Wattson versus Jim. The battle hit off to a good start, as the trainer learned of Magnemite's Sturdy ability beforehand, which was bypassed by Bree first using Quick Attack before securing the kill with Flame Charge. Voltorb didn't fare much better, as Jade simply healed back any damage done through Draining Kiss. In short order, Wattson was down and Jim claimed his third Gym Badge! Of course, that meant it was now time for him to head to the next city. But when reaching the end of Mauville, he saw two Magma grunts discussing plans and leaving. Just who WAS Team Magma, and just what were they planning? Jim was feeling afraid at what the future held for him, and Hoenn as a whole...
