Lostelle Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Whenever playing through Reborn, do you have a specific gang you prefer to join? Do you switch between the two? Me personally, always joined Aqua. Magma I felt is way too out of the way, and I like how Aqua is in the center of Lapis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cool Girl Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think I prefer Magma. They look cooler and besides, I prefer Fire type over Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt996 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Magma, because Lapis ward is nothing but water-types, I don't care for Lapis that much, and Aqua happens to use water types and be based in Lapis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narckarth Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Magma, you wanna guess why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdleThoughts Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 The first time I played I went with Magma because I'm one of those pricks who have to talk to everybody and everything and do everything possible in this pixelated world before moving on to the next area. As such, I encountered Magma before I did Aqua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 In general, I prefer team Magma over team Aqua when it comes to their ideals and such, but in a way, I feel like Aqua let's you get a carvanha, which can be useful against Shade if it can get some hits off first.

Fumble Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Aqua: - Ponyta and a Fire Stone from Craudberry quest - Carvanha after becoming official Aqua Member - Houndour is in the Alley waiting to fight you if you have Pokesnax - Access to Murkrow before Shelly. Magma: - Buizel and a Water Stone from Craudberry quest - Houndour after becoming official Magma Member - Carvanha is available from fishing... once you get the Good Rod, which won't be until you get to Spinel. - Access to Murkrow after Shelly. Aqua is better if you don't care about Buizel and you want to get/evolve Pokemon before your sixth Gym. I went to Aqua first because I thought it was easier to get to, but I do like Magma's line "For glory, baby." If Magma still had Chinchou, though... edit: forgot about stones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mde2001 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Magma. I don't really mind either way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despair Syndrome Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Always preferred Aqua, never knew why. I even remembered all their names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I originally liked Team Magma slightly better as the Pokemon choices were more even. Now...the only advantage is the Water Stone as you can get a ton of good water types that aren't Buizel which is why I always felt Chinchou was better suited for the spot. Now I have to say Aqua is way better without question. You get a Fire Stone which you can use to evolve that Arcanine and put the hurt onto Shelly as well as Rapidash who is a really good Pokemon to use once it evolves and is very useful up until Samson, both Houndour and Carvanha, and Maxwell is way easier than Archie allowing for you to get the said mons even before Shade (making him easy as well). Oh you even get Murkrow earlier as well. Seriously, Aqua just is ultimately the better rewards path. I originally loved picking Magma, but now I have to say Aqua because of that Murkrow alone.

Sr.F Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Definitely Aqua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvan Korematsu Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Very first playthrough I got Aqua and each time since. Tbh they were WAY easier to find, because they're stuck on a main street in the corner rather than an alley that's essentially in the boonies. Aqua all the way for convenience.

ShadowStar Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I picked Aqua because I found them first on my first play-through lol. In a future play-through I may join Magma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepe Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I choose aqua since their headquarters is much more convenient to get to since it's right in the middle of lapis ward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiri Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I alternate between them tbh. I like Aqua more but Magma isn't too shabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 hmm well i choose aqua all the time because it is easy to go to their hide out and i prefer water types over fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar of Grima Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Aqua, mainly because I think think that water types are cooler. I also kind of just like how easy they are to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Aqua is the better choice in the long run. The biggest decider for me though? You don't have to fish for Houndour, which is essentially abandoned when Magma takes off. Having both Pokemon for Shade is better than just having one.

TRHStatement Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I played Sapphire before I got a hold of Ruby, so yeah. Aqua Gang forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sound of silence Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I picked magma out of contrariness. I don't like that the game is rigged towards picking aqua though, buizel is just such an atrociously crap pokemon for that stage of the game. At least ponyta can torch shelly's field, take down a few of shade and kiki's pokemon through type advantage and speed. The only way to balance this choice at all would be for buizel to come with aqua tail or some decent physical water move (not freaking useless aqua jet that does stuff all damage).

SkyRunner Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Aqua. I found it before I found the Magma base, and the Murkrow came in handy on a couple of my playthroughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shing Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Magma is my bros in the main games, but aqua really. It fits more into myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch Posted January 31, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted January 31, 2016 I've only played through once, but I picked Aqua Gang because I prefer Team Aqua to Team Magma (both are among my favorite enemy teams, though).

FlameMasterInfernape Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I went with team Magma because I'm a Fire type Trainer that also use Grass type as well but mainly Fire types and that I prefer team Magma over Aqua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers enu Posted February 1, 2016 Developers Share Posted February 1, 2016 I prefer Magma because Houndoom >> Sharpedo. But you know what? Forget about both Aqua and Magma and go join the Helix! :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
