Q: Why do u reset after you get Mudkip?
A: The stats where bad I need a minimum of 13 attack, 11 special attack & 9 Speed to continue or I get walled by a lot of things. However 10 special is acceptable also if its not a bad IV.

Q: Which version is faster?
A: Omega Ruby is more consistent for runs while Alpha Sapphire may be faster if you want THE URN. But Minor routing variations, mainly related to Team Aqua/Magma fights. Kyogre (AS) is faster than Groudon (OR) for E4, but Latios (OR) is generally faster than Latias (AS). Overall I would say Omega Ruby
