Post-game might be a good time to work on contests (if you’re into watching Pokémon do strange moves for denizens of weird onlookers, that is) but I found better things to spend my time on after I beat the game. Breeding a Pokémon to be great at contests usually requires sacrificing its strength in battle, making it not only pointless but potentially wasteful. A feature even less enticing is the return of Pokémon contests. It’s even stressful, considering you have to use the time-consuming feature if you want to acquire every Mega Stone. Decorating your own and visiting others’ bases is fun, but the feature doesn’t do much to add to the game. Secret bases allow you to turn caves, trees and bushes into a personal hideout. Secret bases are a great distraction if you’re into home decor (or dolls).īut if catching, breeding and battling aren’t your favorite things, both games offer plenty of distractions. This feature alone makes Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire worth picking up for all the competitive players out there. Plus, you no longer have to fly anywhere to hatch an egg by holding a single directional button, you move in an uninterrupted circle around the island, making breeding easier than it has ever been before. If you’re a hardcore breeder like I am, you’ll be pleased to know that a Pokémon Center, daycare and stats-checker are all right next to each other on the island. Post-game, the DexNav is necessary to find Pokémon from the National Dex, which was a smart way to make the feature even more enticing.Īnother addition I loved is the Battle Resort, which is a small island basically made for breeding. Needless to say, I was addicted to using this feature from the get-go to find the best Pokémon for my team. The more you use the DexNav, the more likely it is you’ll run into amazing Pokémon, or even shiny ones.
When found, a silhouette pops up, and by sneaking over to it, you can see the Pokémon’s ability, moves, IVs and level before even encountering it. By catching a Pokémon, you’re allowed to locate it in the area. The DexNav is an app that allows you to search for specific Pokémon in grass, caves or water.
One of these new features is introduced almost immediately and quickly became one of the most addicting parts of Pokémon Omega Ruby/ Alpha Sapphire for me. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are rehashes of familiar games through and through, but they offer so much new content that the experience feels entirely refreshing.
And who can forget Mega Evolutions, roller blades and the touching story involving an ancient giant named AZ and his long-lost Pokémon Floette? Years ago, I’d played through Emerald, one of the games the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire remakes are based on, and I wasn’t sure there’d be enough content to make the 3D remakes as enticing as their year-old siblings, X and Y. The games were set in a unique setting with new features and possibilities, and nothing compares to the magic of experiencing those 3D graphics for the first time. Part of the reason I loved Pokémon X and Y was because it was a new generation. Going into Pokémon Omega Ruby, I didn’t know if I would like it.
