Pokémon Omega Ruby FAQ

What are you playing this on?
I am using a 3DSXL with a build-in capture card from the Katsukity shop: http://www.3dsvideocapture.com/.

Do you use the Circle Pad?
Yes, I use the Circle Pad everywhere possible.

Which version is faster?
I don't know since I only routed Omega Ruby.

Why do you play Omega Ruby over Alpha Sapphire?
The Great Maxie, Courtney, Groudon.

What are the run killers?
Mostly Machop in Brawly Gym. Missing ranges is also very bad for some fight.

Why do you play as the boy?
I don't think there is any differences between the boy and girl in this game except the text and animation. I didn't spend time to check the differences and I prefer May animations throughout the game.

Why do you keep resetting?
I need to have 13 Attack, 11 Special Attack and 9 Speed at level 5. Bad attack/special opens plenty of ranges and bad speed makes you lose time and use more x items on Grovyle for Rival 2. Since I don't have a PB yet, I will accept 10 special if I reach 12 at level 6.

What Pokémon are used in the run?
Mudkip/Marshtomp until Southern Island
Latios until Sootopolis City
Groudon until the end of the game

Why do you fight optional trainers?
Mostly to hit level 12 before the Poochyena in Rusturf Tunnel, level 15 for the Makuhita against Brawly and level 18 for the Grovyle against Rival 2.

Is the current routing optimal?
No. For Omega Ruby, using a special attack Mudkip might be better than a physical Mudkip. I also didn't look for catch strats yet, waiting for more info regarding the DexNav.
