I'm disappointed that they didn't get every single name amusingly wrong. It's not as funny then.

I'm not sure if I would like Squirtle or Squirtle more, myself. Angry Cuddles is hard to resist, though.

whenever people say that gen 1 had a perfect selection of pokemon compared to nowadays i sort of wonder just what the hell they spent their time looking at when they played red/blue.

Possibly dumb question, but is there some Mewtwo-equivalent Pokemon I should be saving my Master Ball for in ORAS?

Deoxys if you want to catch it during the EPIC STORY rather than KOing it and waiting after so you don't have to worry about cutscenes.

ORAS has a fuckload of legendaries available post-game. The most difficult one to catch is probably Giratina. There are others, including your cover legendary, Deoxys, Regigigas, and several of the other legendaries detailed on that page, that have the same extremely low catch rate that Giratina has, but Giratina is unlike the others in that its typing makes it immune to False Swipe. However, you can catch anything easily enough if you use the Catching O-Power before you encounter it. You won't have an opportunity to use that O-Power the first time you battle Deoxys, but if you knock it out, it will respawn after the next time you defeat the Champion, so you can try again at your leisure.

Is ditto the mother in breeding? So if you used a master ball on one you could have most Pokemon inside a master ball?

It takes less time when you stack the odds in your favor, and I guess that he wanted to know how to do that.

Master Balls and Cherish Balls can't be inherited, and breeding with Ditto never results in ball inheritance anyway.

Ditto isn't the mother for anything in breeding where it matters, and what Bongo Bill said.

That's not an over-complication, that's just helping make bad catch rates a bit easier?

I use Mega Pinsir for an Aerilate False Swipe so I don't have to worry about ghosts. That's just me though.
