I hate roaming pokemon. It's almost as if they can just Fly anywhere

I'm determined to catch it today. For queen and country!

When you just walk back and forth between routes it really isn't so bad.
Just be careful when you finally enter the cave to catch it! Make sure you save BEFORE you enter it because instead of just standing in the cave (you know, like every other legendary ever...) it's gonna swoop down from the ceiling and the fight is gonna start right away. I forgot to save before entering the cave and Moltres got me by surprise. It cost me my Master Ball because I didn't want to risk anything.

I still need to get around to catching Zygarde and doing all those Looker missions. I don't know why, I just haven't been motivated to play in quite a while.
.. and when are they gonna fill in Geosenge town's bloody massive crater? There are even still upturned houses! If you ask me, Kalos' builders are lazy.

Nah. I was hoping they'd do some sorta Geosenge restoration project (a la Luin in Tales of Symphonia), but nope, permanent ground zero.

And you can't even push Trevor in the crater.

 

[CaptainCool]

Yeah, the whole Geosenge thing was weird. No one is doing something about it? The houses just fell over in one piece? The whole thing seems just lazy to me.

 

[SirRob]

It's pretty amusing though that it has the sign that says 'Quiet stones speak volumes' next to a giant nuclear crater.

There are only 5 Looker missions, but the story behind them is actually kinda touching. My eyes got watery at the end of it all. I won't spoil it for you but you meet a very ESSENTIAL person.

 

[Stratelier]

Yup... each time you move from route to route, the roaming 'mon will move to a route next to the one it's currently in. Fly, and it changes position utterly randomly, most likely to somewhere completely fuckoff-far-away from where you just flew.

But if you pass through a gatehouse, they don't move at all.

That's what happens when rocks decide to speak.

I really lucked out that the second Carbink I caught had maxed defense IVs! Guess my BPs will have to go on a power item for the time being.

If breeding with a Ditto, will the Ditto pass down its nature if it holds an Everstone, or is it limited to gendered Pokemons?

 

[SirRob]

Ditto will pass down its nature with an Everstone, yes.

 

[Harbinger]

If anyone see's me online can you help me evolve some things via trade?
Want to get a politoed so i would need it traded back obviously

 

[Jags]

pop up, Harb. I'll be happy to help

 

[Harbinger]

Batteries gone -_-

 

[DrDingo]

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel a little physically sick when they spend a long time going round Lumiose city? I've just done a few Looker missions but I had to stop on account of feeling a bit off. This isn't the first time I felt like this.

 

[BRN]

Can't say I've felt that way. Some of the discontinuous motion seems curious - trying to do a parallel swizzle occasionally makes you travel in a tangent? - but I've never actually got any sort of motion sickness from it.

I travel round on my bike. It's not the act of going in a circle, I don't think. More about aimlessly milling around the buildings and alleyways.

 

[SirRob]

Lumiose City's pretty awesome. The camera angles were disorienting at first, but now that I've gotten used to it I can really appreciate all that's there. It's like Castelia City but waaay better.

 

[Jags]

I just keep getting lost. I'm bad enough in cities I live near, let alone virtual ones.

 

[Distorted]

I get that too actually. If I stay in Lumiose too long going here and there, I get horrificly disoriented. I usually just take cabs to cut down on the movement. Something about constant camera changes just messes with me.

On a not so related note, there are two women that mention there's a "Lava Dome Pokemon" in one of the spots in Lumiose. I don't think you can get Heatran in this game, but it's definitely suspicious.

 

[Teal]

What bothers me about Lumiose is the occasional lag and the fact that I keep getting lost.
Camera angles don't bother me.

Often I actually know where I'm going, but I seem to get it anyway.

I saw those two women as well. Not sure what's up with that, as it seems like a very unlikely place for one to dwell.
My guess is that it's an event thing. I can only speculate.

In Team Flare's base, if you go through the warp panels in a certain order you'll be warped to Flare Volcano where you can fight Heatran. It's under a truck.

 

[CaptainCool]

I know where the most important stuff in Lumiose is but if I look for something specific I get lost as well...

 

[Jags]

The taxis are extortionate too. $1000 for one ride, in a world where for $200 I can buy technology to capture a wild creature? The hell.

It all makes much more sense when you think that Pokedollars are based on Japanese Yen. ¥1000 is £6.30, which is quite reasonable for a cab ride. ¥200 is £1.26, and you gotta remember that Pokeballs are mass-produced globally in the world of Pokemon.
