After much deliberation, here's what I'm aiming for. I couldn't decide on just six 'mon this time around; I'll instead swap party members according to my needs:
Wow, this takes me back! This place was hopping when I first joined in the early 2000s. I tried making myself known among the avid RPers in the community... only to disappear for ten years! xD I definitely remember the old forum style, the preset avatars, the signature restrictions, the tiny...
Hm, definitely misspoke there. I guess I was so caught up in Paulo's angst that I didn't pay attention to her.
Allow me to amend my previous statement: she made for a decent foil for Paulo. However, I do feel like a different character could have served her purpose just as well, if not better...
I enjoyed the new story update.
The new units introduced were really lukewarm this time around, so I'm skipping out on them. I was able to complete everything using the Kanto Sygna Suit trio. More time to amass gems, I guess.
On a completely separate note, just a few more days and I can...
I just realized something recently that definitively proves that these two were intended to parallel one another:
Professor Rowan's Japanese name is Nanakamado-hakase. (I played DP in Japanese, I should've noticed it earlier!)
In this case, "Arezu" is phonologically close enough to Arēsu, the...
I can actually see myself using Lillie's new unit (provided I get her, of course). As much as I love N and Steven, their kits are pretty lukewarm in comparison, at least at a glance. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
I couldn't help but notice they're giving us Johto for the League challenge...
- While I agree it's not too much of a stretch to equate Typhlosion with daimyo due to its design, I find it unlikely that it has much in common with "cannoneers". Firearms and artillery were brought over by the Europeans in the sixteenth century--and even then, they weren't implemented in...
I finished maxing out the new courses' research levels the other night. It wasn't as daunting a task as I expected, ultimately. Next up: unlocking missing titles!
This sounds like fun! I hope no one minds if I give this a go:
I'd like to be a Poison-type Gym Leader, seventh in the region. I'd specialize in double battles.
I'd have the following on my team:
- Toxapex (Female, Level 39) [Baneful Bunker, Infestation, Liquidation, Wide Guard]
- Dragalge...
Finally, I can begin planning out my team!
Samurott
Wyrdeer
Hisuian Arcanine (or its equivalent)
Mamoswine
Carnivine
Yanmega
And, on the off-chance I decide to start a second playthrough:
Typhlosion
Hisuian Braviary
Basculegion
Abomasnow
Magnezone
Toxicroak
Both cases, the last three are...
Ugh... it's just as I feared: the "miniature" stage only has one Research Level. I really dislike that Dodrio jumping in every other second during the day.
Oh well, the other two new stages more than make up for it.
I had a hard time with Tapu Bulu during the initial run, but I pulverized him (and cleared the missions) this time. I lucked out and got Grass Guard on Falkner with a cookie; I naturally was planning to use him anyway, but I feel like he could've done more as a 2/5 or 3/5. Not having MP refresh...
Congrats, Master! That's an incredible accomplishment. Your perseverance really shows. (Zygarde was infuriatingly difficult for me to subdue.) I don't think I'd be up to shiny hunting it if you paid me. I'll make due with its fellow Gen VI box legendaries.
I'm really enjoying today's update! The river area is very reminiscent of the one from the original, and the Badlands are certainly different. The "miniature" path is a tad... clunky in my opinion; I think that was unavoidable due to the scale of the subjects in comparison to the player.
It doesn't explain the visual they released with the anniversary: it featured Pokemon like Rowlet, after all. I guess we should expect to see Gen VII sometime before year's end?
Thanks for the advice, everyone! I think my issue is that I rely too heavily on type-advantage units without considering general utility (apart from the Villa runs where I was aiming for the medals), and as such I forget that I have the EX SS Kanto trifecta, which just destroys everything. I'm...
