Well to be fair it's about as strong as certain other legendary pokemon megas; it's just the whole not needing an item that pushes it over the top.

I can see how that's broken. Though it also prevents a choice band set. Life Orb set sounds broken as hell...

That is precisely why he was moved to AG I think.

So I got my Alpha Sapphire, moving through it at a fairly slow pace but that's how I take most games nowadays. I am just about to beat the second gym. Got my Shiny Beldum and kept resetting until I got a Jolly one.
I managed to find a level 15 Taillow when my highest pokemon was level 12, and caught him. Instantly became a powerhouse of my team, but Marhstomp is already pulling way ahead again. Not sure on what the other pokemon on my team should be for this run. I am definitely going with Swampert, Metagross and Swellow... and I'd like something that I didn't train much before. Maybe a Heracross. Or Cacturne. (I am planning to use 4 pokemon primarily for battling and 2 probably as HM slaves, although it might end up differently.)

ORAS is showing me how bull*!@# most of the HMs are :(. Can't wait for the agony known as Dive...

So I finally got Omega Ruby. I like it so far.
I really wish Nintendo would do what the creator of Pokemon Zeta/Omicron did, though. In addition to the actual HM, he also added items to replace them so they wouldn't take up slots on your Pokemon.

We have the Eon Flute at least so that's a start.
but yes, it does suck massively. Gen 3 is a good example of why HMs should be items and not mandatory abilities to be learned by Pokemon. The remakes didn't do much to alleviate the problem (Victory Road FFFFFFFFF)

Or, rather than items, abilities of the actual character we play. I always found it sad that my main character's only abilities were: "silent protagonist" and "he can train pokemon really really good I guess". Why is my guy not able to swim? Especially in Hoenn which is like the official swimmer continent? I understand he probably shouldn't be able to crush rocks, but cutting little bushes? Bringing light to a dark place? Even climbing rocks. Those would all be manageable for a human being.

I think the idea was because the designers wanted Pokemon to do it. Still...why not just Eon Flute-like items?

I want a pet Rayquaza. And yes I know how insane that sounds.

I thought of a cool solution to the problem that we talked about earlier. What if every pokemon's mega form had a "built in" HM that it could perform without knowing the actual HM? Kinda like you jump out on your Mega Latios to soar around, you could jump on your Mega Swampert to Surf or use a Mega Sceptile to Cut and so on for each mega. I can imagine there are people who do not carry many active megas on their team at one time, but while going through the story mode, I am carrying Swampert, Metagross and Latias, all capable of Mega evolution.
So, are you guys doing the secret base stuff? I haven't completed the story mode and I absolutely didn't touch my base yet... but I saw on Youtube that it's pretty fun once you have a bunch of decorations and buddies.

That seems a little too narrow requirement-wise. It really doesn't need to require mega evolutions tbh. Just make it require owning the HM perhaps and you earn the HM-item too.

I have completed the game already. Also the Delta Episode and ran through the Elite 4 for the second time (it is more difficult and unlocks some additional events in the world).
Now I am fooling around catching legendary pokemon and training competetive specimen of some of the new interesting Mega Evolutions, already done Mega Swampert and Mega Lopunny. Some more pokemon I would like to have trained up to a competetive level are...Mega Steelix, Cloyster and Kyogre.
I tried to get to a 50 win streak in the Battle Maison in Super Single Battles category, but I failed at battle number 50, made me want to rip my *!@# off. You get to re-battle Wally infinitely once you achieve a 50-streak, and since he has hands down the most powerful pokemon in the game, he is an excellent guy to farm experience on... so I want to unlock him very much. I'll have to retry the streak again soon. It takes a LONG time to beat 50 powerful trainers though.
I managed to obtain a Suicune through the GTS, some guy put it up for trade and only asked for an Aromatisse (a pokemon that was easily obtainable in Pokemon Y). Pretty glad about that trade.
I would really like to get my hands on a Skrelp with the hidden ability, but it is only catchable in Omega Ruby, and I haven't found a good trade for it yet on the GTS. Come on, Titan, complete the game. We can have a battle when you get your dudes past 50.

I haven't played competitively in ages, lol.
But sure if I can get you a skrelp i will.
