Anyone out there playing Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire? There's an official Pokémon thread on the GMC, but there's like 3 people bothering to post in it. From beneath the rock I'm hiding under it seems pretty unpopular.

Personally, I do. Just cleared the 6th gym. Kinda lacks new surprises so far IMO, even for a remake. It also feels way easier… several gym leader pokes has been downgraded, for instance.

I've been nicknaming everything I catch just to get stronger bonds with my loyal slaves digital pets. It actually works! I can totally recommend this approach, it's a completely different feeling to send out Ramirez the Frost-Fanged Puppy than a plain ol' Poochyena.
