I just read ORAS's mega stuff as there just being a unique origin of mega stones in Hoenn, separate from Kalos's. Heck, I think it was implied the crystals for the weapon and/or the sundial were from meteors, so maybe the Hoenn meteorite is just made of the same stuff. Plus it's probably something like the new types and eggs being hyped up as new discoveries in GS but not so much in later games, including kind of clowning on Elm for being that excited over the Togepi egg. Saying Mega evos are a unique new discovery to Kalos is just a way to catch the players' attention.

I really do think there's just something inherently wrong with the current batch of Pokemon writers, developers, etc. I just think back to fucking Shigeru Ohmori being asked what to do about Pokemon on your team getting overleveled, and his response was to... put them in the PC. That's right, what are likely your most precious digital Pokemon friends, who have been through the most of the game with you to earn all that EXP... just let them rot in the box, retard. This attitude is also reflected in things like nature mints and bottle caps being just a press-a-button-to-go-competitive thing, whereas super training made you interact/play with your Pokemon to train them up.
Someone else in this thread described X and Y as feeling like the devs were proud to show off what they'd made, and I find that to be a really good way of putting it... and something that's solely lacking in the newer games, which feel like nobody's enjoying making them, let alone expecting anyone to actually enjoy playing them. The earlier games were goofy at times but at least had largely coherent storytelling and attempts at refining the existing gameplay. And likeable characters, even the ones you're supposed to "hate" like Blue/Gary. Now all we get is retarded retcons, miserable assholes being propped up as goddesses and jokes about karoshi... I could go on a massive fucking rant about that but I've done that before and don't feel like doing it again. Just know that I think Ohmori is a waifufag and his waifus are all fucking shit. I blame Lillie for everything

Anyway.
> see video on new Pokemon Too Many Types hack, the last one had some weird gender/furry type shit in it but it was fun enough to watch, let's check it out
> ... It is now being used as a platform for trannyniggerfaggot propaganda, via the purist team who only wants there to be the original 17 types; they go into a school ranting about Arceus saying there's only 17 types because trannyfaggots can only think about one fucking thing, Roxanne tells them this is a school for 12 year olds because kids need to be taught about the seventeen bogmillion new genders that have always existed and they NEED to be groomed into wanting to stick their genitals in a blender, get with the times old man
Does the ROMhack unwoker guy feel like taking a shot at this maybe?...

Game freak definitely still cared about XY, ORAS, and base SM imo, even if development problems were still pretty present at that point.

XY even had a feature where you could take photos of certain locations, so GF clearly cared enough about the region design to try and encourage the players to take pictures of what the devs created. It was also impressive that XY had 3D model for EVERY Pokemon up to that point, even the ones unavailable before Pokemon bank and ORAS.

ORAS also had a honestly breathtaking recreation of the hoenn region in 3D, and added many unique mechanics like dex nav to make up for lack of emerald content (even if the emerald content would've been better). ALSO ORAS ACTUALLY ALLOWED CROSS GEN EVOS IN THE MAIN STORY! That's a W in of itself.

Base SM is where it got a bit effy, but the region design was still pretty good visually, ride pokemon was great as well. Even if the hand-holding and linear region and story wasn't amazing, it still showed they were trying to do now things with the franchise, even if it didn't always end up well. (At least there were some optional areas to explore unlike something like SwSh). SM was an enormous upgrade gameplay wise from gen 6 as well, with harder battles and better level curve.

USUM and Let's go is when I think the cracks started to really show. Though I didn't think it got truly bad until SwSh.

I think Pokèmon GO success is what ruined Game Freak. After that, Game Freak saw they could put no effort into anything and still make boatloads.

For fucks sake, the justification for ORAS lacking the Battle Frontier was literally them saying "LOL WHO CARES NO ONE WOULD USE IT ANYWAY KIDS THESE DAYS ARE TOO DISTRACTED BY MOBILE GAMES".

What I truly believe happened during ORAS is they left shit like Battle Frontier and Looker’s unresolved side quest because they genuinely considered adding them later as DLC. I remember articles from 2015 which speculated some sort of DLC because there were these tiny side stuff that were not concluded.
Sadly they were in a severe panic attack over Yokai Watch success in Japan, they had to scrap Z and goes full year drought to prepare for a new gen to counter it. Luckily for them Level 5 was led by bunch of demented drooling retards and they didn’t have to worry about anything.

Well that would be explain why there's that sign taunting people in ORAS "Battle Frontier Project about to start!"
Everytime i read about that, i still can't believe they had the gall to leave that sign there to troll their fans lol

But even if they included the Battle Frontier and the other emerald content i would have still considered the game inferior to Emerald since they gutted the difficulty curve of a game that wasn't Dark Souls tier anyway.

I really doubt the idea myself. It doesn't sound like something Game Freak would do. If they were willing to make large scale DLC for Pokemon games on 3DS, then why make USUM instead of DLC for SM? And if they did make DLC for ORAS, would they really make it a post-game challenge for serious players that they blew off in an interview at the same time instead story addition casuals players will play like SWSH and SV have? And like your own post says, they scrapped Z, so why would they even plan that instead of considering DLC for XY?

I think they just didn't see recreating the Battle Frontier as worth the effort and figured copy-pasting the Battle Maison in there was good enough. The Looker thing was probably something they wanted to be mysterious and didn't have a real idea of it going anywhere. People also focused way too hard on random "unfinished" bullshit in XY too, like the train station in Couriway Town not being usable, or the ghost girl in one of the Lumiose buildings, or the mysterious message on the back of the board at Lumiose Station (which was actually just a City Hunter reference that the translators didn't understand and mistranslated).
 
I managed to catch a Shiny Cobalion after two days of soft resets and spawn resets thanks to a 5-star donut packing Fighting-type Sparkling Power Lv. 3. I also caught a Shiny Machamp and a Shiny Riolu during the hunt too.

I'm really not looking forward to hunting the other Swords of Justice and the Eon duo if this is how it's going to go.
 
The 3DS cartridge rot is real. Both my copies of Y (US copies, if that matters) no longer work. I highly recommend anyone who has 3DS Pokemon files they care about preserving backup their saves if they haven't already. I know it's been said in this thread already, but an additional reminder probably doesn't hurt.

What causes this? Is it from putting it in and out of the slot too many times, or is the material of the cartridge itself so cheaply-made that anything can ruin it?

I thought that the issue was the cartridge losing its charge from not having been used recently enough to keep the charge refreshed, not physical degradation of the connectors or the internal components.
Last I heard, as long as you just plugged the cartridge in and turned on the system every now and then, it should last pretty much indefinitely.
