  1. Probably because Reborn isn't the player's story but rather the the one of an RP group the game is based on, and the player is a voyeur to the events. Hence why they literally just stand there when people take the four mcguffins from them. As for being able to kill people...
  2. Some concerns I have of the game, sectioned below in spoilers for organization... Graphics Gameplay Story That's everything that immediately stands out to me. Otherwise it wasn't too bad or too difficult other than managing resources like money and potions. Edit, about my comment on landmarks: This is perfectly fine I can see where I am and where I need to go. Standing in a screen of grass, however, is really bad map design.
  3. Basically this is something I spent waaaaay too long on this for characters I'm not too fond of. Despite that, the hint of a metaphor that deals with a relationship dynamic based on fairy tale tropes was really interesting to me as it holds some merit. Considering the two character's different perspectives. From Titania's view, Amaria is the dragon to her tower. The tower being their relationship, and the dragon being the threat of Amaria's emotional and mental state deteriorating. I found the notes within Titania's gym incredibly ironic, for as much as she derides the princesses within those stories for not simply trying to leave she can't even manage to get out of her situation on her own. In a story with much more focus, finesse, and a smaller cast this could have been a wonderful character study on someone in an emotionally abusive relationship pretending to be the strong Knight and Shining armor when inside she is the Princess. She calls her gym a free world but it in itself could have been a symbol of her prison. But I've rambled enough. It's not very pretty, but there's four versions in the tag below.
  4. I'm going to start by saying I think you've got that last comment backwards mate, and that you also don't really understand how court cases work. Usually court cases last years and they're settled out of court. Most of the stuff done it is is for the records and due process and all that jazz. You're right though, that evidence is not facts. But it supports facts, and gives them solid ground to be facts. It's also naive to think that only a criminal convictions would make it gosepl, as there are notable cases were people who had committed crimes are not convicted. The affluenza case where a drunk driving incident killed four people, and the evidence made it clear that the boy committed the crime, but he wasn't convicted for it. Justice systems are not perfect, as there are plenty of cases of wrongful convictions (there's a public record of miscarriage of justices available if you are interested in the subject), as well numerous acquittals that should've been a guilty verdict. Anyways, I don't think he's going to be brought to court by any of his victims, as there's a precedent of these kinds of claims being dismissed even when you call the police, like stalking and abuse cases where the victim doesn't end up with life threatening injuries. The process of gathering evidence that would qualify (which already in itself is hard), and would outright be ignored unless the victim literally looked like they were violently assaulted, despite the accounts from staff and other voice actors. On funimtion: The thing is that companies don't like to associate with people who have been labeled a sexual predator regardless. If Vic took it to court, funimation wouldn't be required to do anything as it's Vic's responsibility to prove that he was unlawfully fired on some kind of malicious defamation, sex, race, or gender discrimination. Anyways, you keep mentioning ANN falsifying evidence (which I can't find any article on and a couple of comments on other websites popping up when I tried to research it mentioning the claims saying it's false are fabricated), so I'm going to finally address this point and say that's there's no evidence that show that those or other testimonies are false either other than screenshots from literally just one person. Even if all the allegations are false (which I doubt, because that's a lot of smoke for there to be no fire) it doesn't change the fact he already has this stigma attached to his name. Even if you gave him the benefit of the doubt he's bad at reading body language and can't sense personal barriers, that doesn't change the fact that he shouldn't have done it or been in that situation in the first place. Don't engage an event that requires you to be in close proximity to minors /when you don't know what's appropriate or professional behavior/. And for the inevitable "why didn't they come out sooner argument" that comes up, consider that the repercussions of admitting the fact you've been harassed or made uncomfortable by a man who has more standing than you might be more than intimidating, self esteem ruining, and extremely nerve wracking when you have people that will support this man regardless of whether he's guilty or not and are even giving him money for it. (Even if the funds are going to salvation Army, that fact has its own numerous issues.) Finally to address your first statement. Maybe if you've had arguments multiple times with people about the way you present your argument, it's because there's an actual issue they're responding to that is present in it and that you should do some introspection. I get it, I do. I used to be the "big brained" skeptic, and was neutral on a lot of issues until I realized that there are inherent problems with a lot of aspects of that kind of thinking one of which being that it's very dogmatic and closes the discussion off to anyone who disagrees with you because they're just out to ruin a man's life or something "in the name of justice". Edit: So I did some more digging and wow it really has been a open secret for the pas 10 years as there's warnings about im on sites like livejournal and something awful forums. And it's only being formally addressed /now/. Not only that but it can't be covered in depth - not because lack of evidence because it's anime, and like gaming, very little journalism or investigation actually goes into it. The pedantic romantic did video on this but the tldr; is that nobody wants to risk getting cut off from their resources for naming some big time creep.

    There's webpages where you can use sliding block solver. But a good way without one is to go in the game files, or a walkthough and find the picture. A general rule is to start with the first row and then work down, or so im told.
  7. *their I think you're conflating too many ideas that aren't even relevant to the discussion. You already did this with your murder analogy. It's funny, because your own analogy doesn't work. You're right, it's hard to prove someone is a liar because it's more subjective than objective and can apply to a specific situation or be a general trait. It would be reasonable to say that I have lied at some point in my life, as I'm only human, but whether I'm a dishonest person is up to debate. But you can easily prove an apple is an apple with well known qualifiers, like whether its a fruit, is it round, what it looks like on the inside, and whether it came from an apple tree. If you pointed at an orange and said "this is an apple" it would be easy to prove it's an orange. The same way you can look at various testimonies and evidence and come to the conclusion that someone has committed one form of harassment or misconduct. Also, I'd like to point out that the term SJW, unlike sexual harassment as you claimed, has even looser meaning today than it did a few years ago. It's an umbrella term that essentially sums up people who have different opinions and creates an "us vs them" mindset, by creating a crude caricature of the opposition. And you're trying to take away the credibility of the points I made by suggesting that I'm part of this opposition and backtracking and stating that you wrote it to be purposefully convoluted or that you didn't say that he was fired for cheating on his wife, even though: My personal opinion on whether he's guilty or innocent is something I don't have to explain or justify as that's not even what I was discussing in my last comment. I was explicitly explaining how you arguments are misleading and attempting to downplay the whole debacle, and how it's disingenuous to say the things you did like how sexual harassment is a loose term. You can't paint yourself as less biased or "skewed" when you're deliberately writing to make your opinion seem the most reasonable and right. It a level of intellectual dishonesty I just can't resonate with in a civil discussion.
  8. I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that 100 is reasonable for the canon games. 100 is reasonable for competitive play in the canon games for min/maxing but if you're just playing normally usually there's no point grinding past level 70 as most Pokemon are done learning new moves in their 60s. Plus the fact high level moves were put in the level 1 pool in 6th gen so Pokemon could be taught them early. Even if you change the multiplier to x3 it's still a crazy amount of grinding that you have to do. Hell, leveling something to even level 80 is time consuming in Reborn. Not to mention I'm not even sure how IVs and Evs would be applied because of how they scale with levels.
  9. I'm so completely and utterly flabbergasted by your initial statement and how incorrect it is my eyes actually glazed over as I actually tried to comprehend your thought process. Sexual harassment and misconduct are not umbrella terms invented by some SJWs on tumblr like the internet likes to think, but actual terms that are very well defined and have been gone over in numerous court cases and debates. To quote the Wikipedia article (if that doesn't illustrate how dismissive the claim that sexual harassment is a "loose term" is, I'm not sure what will) the term sexual harassment can go as far back as 1973 in a report called "Saturn's Rings" by Mary Rowe, and allegedly goes back even farther than that. There's even various categories for types of harassers and the kind of harassing they tend to do and what kind of situation they commit the act in. To go even further, the equality act of 2010 has a passage about sexual harassment, which includes: indecent or suggestive remarks, unwanted touching, and of course sexual demands and favors. If you had elaborated on that it becomes difficult to determine the difference between a bit of banter/compliments or harassment, I would have conceded. However, its awfully clear that his actions aren't ambiguous at all, as there's even photo evidence of him kissing 14 year old girl on the cheek and him putting his hand on her waist under her hoodie for a photo. This is not acceptable, professional, or appropriate behavior between an adult and a 14 year old. (https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-01-30/far-from-perfect-fans-recount-unwanted-affection-from-voice-actor-vic-mignogna/.142212) "The opposite side" and whatever they have done still doesn't negate the initial problem. A misandrist claiming all men should die and women are better doesn't erase the fact that there are legitimate sociological and economic problems that predominantly affect women that need to be fixed, and this type of argument used is meant to demean the significance of the cause. You see this often from blogs or accounts like The Persistence, in a recent video where three men throw a bottle at him for going through a neighborhood holding a Trump sign. The Persistence says at one point "this is the democratic party" while the men are swearing and dancing away. Obviously those men are not the whole of the USA democratic party or the people who support them, but the comment's you can see followers creating a strawman out of that interaction. So, someone against Mignogna committing a crime or stating amoral things they are not a reason why the accusations are any less false or severe, or make the people who don't support Mignogna make their opinions any less valid. Vic Mignogna was not fired for cheating on his wife. He was fired for sexual misconduct. Saying otherwise is misleading and tries to obfuscate the existing facts and accounts of people who have been made uncomfortable or witnessed the events.
  10. Except, that sexual harassment doesn't just mean groping or assault. It can be verbal. It's not only unprofessional to make such remarks, to young women no less in an environment where they're supposed to feel safe. It's degrading and always unwelcomed, no matter how innocent the comment or action may be. Not only that but the numerous accounts of lecherous behavior at conventions, his coworkers calling him out, combined with his homophobic comments on anime news network paint the exact opposite of a "good man" with flirtatious tendencies. And having a wife and a daughter wouldn't stop a someone from "fooling around" with girls. People cheat, they lie, and they do terrible things to others. It's naive to not consider he possibly of such a thing.
  11. Wouldn't raising the level cap be like an artificial implementation of difficulty instead of actual strategy where the "hard" part comes from inflated numbers? At that point, instead of clever planning or counterplay it's kill the thing stronger than you before you get KO'd. Or bring something with a focus slash and destiny bond. That would make it even less engaging than being at stuck level 100. And I don't see feasible way to mitigate the tedious task of grinding to 190 other than adding audino trainers like Insurgence or Spork does.
  12. tfw you just spent 3 hours replacing tracks for the battle music pack mod and can't find a track for fern

  13. Yeah, accidentally pressed x a bunch cause I'm a dumb dumb lol, but I sent the request
  14. Sorry, didn't see the edit, but yeah go ahead Edit: Oh that was my bad, I'll send u the request
  15. Sure dude, do you wanna trade it to me and then trade back? My user is Sky02
  16. Umm, but it's not... Exactly. Ame didn't work on most of the concepts, mostly the field effects are hers and some other mechanics and events (notably the most controversial ones). She didn't even come up with the region. The game is mostly straight from the roleplay, which again is why theres so many problems with the plot being nonsensical. Her stuff, like Fern being more dickish and dissing Corey who committed suicide even though it's a "tribute", including that fact that Luna's owner had a custody dispute and disappeared, etc. My point is that I don't really care about the censorship of her ideas because they're generally disrespectful and poorly written. The attempts to make the game more challenging aren't even relevant because Pokemon already has ways to prevent you from over leveling and keyed up AI for gym matches and elite four battles (which is already in Pokemon essentials). Of course, because it's a fangame people like it (including myself). It isn't hard to get a grasp on Pokemon though because it's meant for kids, even as the series matures (note that mature does not mean grimdark), so even then the difficulty doesn't work because people can come up with other strats that have existed in the series (like Moody bibarel, which is banned on smogon for a reason). Edit: Technically, all you'd need to do to make the game more difficult is turn off shift and apply the battle tree AI to like... Everyone. Then the game really would be impossible to beat for like 80% of the players. I also don't see how making the map better would hurt her "vision". Especially the part of taking out Mons because they don't slot into the very specific solution they want the player to use which is Squenix levels of petty. (Plus fact this makes Pokemon feel like tools to collect and then dump in your PC rather than, idk, living beings that you like and want around. This is somewhat improved by the follower mod, but then it just reminds me of my copy of soul silver that someone's stole and makes me a little dead inside.) Even if it's a fan game, I'm not going to grade it on a curve. I think every dev should ask themselves "If I sold this game, and it didn't have this label attached to it for appeal, would people want to play it?" Here's the interview that mentions how the plot came to be btw. Interview They do, but the show's queer baiting, bad writing, plot, cartoonish villainy, an poor portrayal of mental illness really made it unbearable to watch. I'm told it also doesn't even resemble the original comics, or the more mature reboot, but I never regularly read Archie personally.
  17. I'm gonna counter argue with the fact that we actually already knew most of the information within the segment if you remember dialogue lines. For me, the only new information was on Kiki and Aya, which easily could have been hinted at earlier in the game rendering the whole sequence null. To be honest, maybe in other fiction, but video games are capable of telling a story in ways that movies can't, like through the environment. Which is why I appreciate the fact the graveyard includes the names of all the people the characters have had died. Additionally, exposition dumps are really unnatural, so it's generous to consider them a necessary evil. IMO as a general rule, unless the character is new to the rules of the universe the characters should only discuss that in a way that makes sense and flow naturally in a conversation not what they already know if it has to be done, otherwise it can be alluded to. Mind you, I don't agree with the narrative against show don't tell, but Reborn really suffers from it and struggles with less is more too. I had repressed that. But, on the subject of long sequences, the whole game is long - like, I forget if I mentioned this but I follow a let's play where they copy/paste dialogue from the game and holy crap, the sheer number of paragraphs hurt before text skip came out. I haven't played fire emblem or trails in the sky but tbh they sound more fun than Reborn. Yeah, but those are a few of the most tolerable characters in the game. While I know it's the fault of the RP, (which as someone who does role play I'm painfully familiar with) there's Anna who's psychic and that's basically it until her arch gets a little further in episode loving 18, nearly 50 hours of gameplay later. While Sun/Moon characters are tropey too, some of them change real quick or get layers added too them. Like when gladion is introduced he seems like a sasuke character but his arch shows that he really cares about Pokemon and isn't the edgelord he was first made out to be. Like the fact almost his entire team evolves based on friendship. I meant for the audience, at that moment in time. And, yeah, that sequence is really nice for both him and Shelly because their teams reflect their development, but again that doesn't really address the problems with the Medicham scene and really makes me wonder why Cal ended showing how he felt about that rather than both him and Victoria. But that's a tangent so.... Maybe we just play different games, cause fire emblem is the only one I know of with such a large cast of major players. Either way, at that point will be hit or miss in how memorable they are, especially to the casual fan. Teach me your ways. But like, seriously. On an average day through I usually end up putting 200-300 hours into reborn, maybe 400+ if I'm breeding pokemon which caused me to take three months to finish a play through. (Didn't help that episode 16 came out then too, so I was spending extra time trying to remember stuff for my next play through.) And probably, because they're doing other things in addition to work. "Working" yeah. The whole thing is a money scheme and I imagine he'll go out like Spoony or uh movie critic guy from youtube whom I currently can't remember the name of. But again, that's a whole nother bag of worms. I'm familiar, but I think you misunderstood because I wasn't saying that "it's Japan, and they can't have a singular god" but "it's unlikely to be comparable to Catholicism for these reasons, in addition to the fact that the knowledge of the existence of Arceus is limited to such a small town that it's unlikely that people would even know what you mean when someone says "arceus bless your home". Basically "can't compare apples to oranges. I was specifically addressing why this interpretation of it is unlikely. Any concept can be salvaged and improved on, but that's just my opinion. A Pokemon region set in an urban setting where you need to do events to find good pokemon is a really interesting concept at its core, Reborn just goes a too far with it and doesn't give any indicators for its event flags. I'm familiar, as someone who likes the dumpster fire that are more recent final fantasy games but I still think a studio won't make some of the mistakes that Reborn - especially with some gym fights (cause, let's be honest Shelly's ability to murder you brutally if you don't prepare a very specific strategy to counter all the bases she has covered is really at odds with her insecurities. And really hilarious.) Especially with its code for early releases. Idk if you can still get a game crash when your pokemon survive poison, but damn that was infuriating. I'm not "attacking" her, I was giving an example, that I personally found pretty funny. Also, I think you're forgetting about some really uncomfortable early game lines (which I know Ame has mentioned before but it's not like she went back and edited them, so yes I'm mentioning them) for poc. Yeah, while there's pop culture references there's also awkward writing trappings like "I ain't afraid to smack a bitch" that I'm definitely sure a studio wouldn't do, unless they wanted a PR nightmare. What you're calling philosophies, I'm calling mistakes. I actually love silent protagonists, I just think it's handled poorly in this game because the player as no agency. And because they're only watching other characters do awesome things, it feels like the only reason you player is the is to find the fish that was stolen from them in the beginning of the game. And yee, I read her interviews, so I remember that. I think it would change a lot if a studio got a hold of it, and the biggest changes would be the maps, characters, and dialogue. Sirius doesn't even talk like a real person to the point that he's on Riverdale's level of bad writing, half of the designs look terrible partly because a lot of the redrawn sprites need to be fixed. Some of the maps are too large, causing it to either be tedious or have weird graphical effects like sprites to disappear or become partially obscured. The desert in the game has areas where there's nothing but massive patches of sands making it annoying to navigate if you're looking for things in between the borders (like the ruins with all the garmchomp). Also, the reborn map itself has both a top down perspective, and a bit o a forward one, which is awfully confusing to look at and mostly useless. Probably cut out a lot of stuff in general, like bring down the number of badges from 18 to 8 so the game doesn't have to pad itself out with things like the strength quest where you go through 3 badges without accomplishing anything (except moving a rock). Edit: The story too. Mostly because the whole orphanage sequence makes very little sense when you think about it for longer than 3 minutes, which I know Ame has mentioned. Edit: And Corey's suicide. That desperately needs to be edited, because some "tribute" that was. And a whole lot of tonal problems, like a bunch of people being murdered in a terrorist attack and then Julia coming in like "explosions are soooo cool!" And most importantly, u get to ride the giant steelix. Suck it Saphira.
  18. I literally wrote an essay, and then had that all erased by having notification pop up on screen, so I'm just gonna abridge what wrote in a less formal way. I'm also gonna preface this by saying that I love Pokemon reborn, but it is by no stretch of the imagination a perfect game. I've got way more gripes with this game both mechanically and narratively than I can shake a stick at, but still adore it after playing for so many years. 1)Exposition dumps are really terrible, in any work of fiction. a)they maybe character feel like they're being talked at rather than talked to. These a reason people hate that 40 minute long episode in the Fate series that's nothing talking. It's boring, and it doesn't give the main chapter the chance to have a personality in a video game. Sun/Moon does this well in contrast, and our always get the impression that the main character s an easy going and nice person rather than a camera with legs to watch other characters do awesome things, like watch someone ride a giant steelix. Granted, this is because the main character doesn't /exist/ within the RP the game is written from, so there isn't much agency or choice in the first place. (Random Tangent: Illusion of choice exists in any media - games, books, doesn't matter. It's not a bad thing, but Reborn struggles to make things matter a lot with it. Wanna keep everyone from getting kidnapped? Too bad, someone does anyways. Wanna become a student in a Zen Academy? Too bad, go back to your month long quest of moving a rock. There's like no special sidequest if you say yes to Kiki about being a new student, or nothing that's tangible yet. All these issues sort of complicated lead to other questions, like "why does your main character even want to do this?" (Which I think Ame has voiced in the past, about giving a silent character personality.) b) reborn kinda sucks at characterization. Normally you're supposed establish ths stuff immediately (https://www.writingclasses.com/toolbox/tips-masters/kurt-vonnegut-8-basics-of-creative-writing Kurt Vonnegut is a famous author with multiple award winning books, and known for his unique style). Again, Sun/Moon does this really well. The main character gies off a friendly, easygoing vibe. Hau is friendly, but worries about his Kahuna relative. Gladion and Lilly cope with their abuse/neglect differently, and Kukui and Guzma juxtapose each other. Some might say that Pokemon doesn't cover real issues enough but then they must not have seen Po town. It's implies that because it doesn't have the same tourist appeal that it's residents live (The Skulls) in poverty, so much that even the pokemon center doesn't have power. It also implies that if you fail the island challenge, that people will stop caring about you (Guzma) and even if you finish it, it doesn't matter because you'll have to we to pay off a mortgage anyway. As someone who just graduated high school, has to move out and pay taxes, have a crap job etc, that's a huge dose of existential terror that apparently not even pokemon games are free from. c) a glaring issue of this is what happens to Kiki's medicham. Ame assumes you are because it's her lead pokemon, but it's no developed at all, and could've all e a sword and make no difference. d) Reborn has way too many characters. There's a reason why JRPGs limit their major characters to 7 or 5. It's easy to remember when you haven't been playing the game regularly, and keeps them memorable. Basically, I'm saying it's not Shofu's fault he can't remember 20 different characters and all their back stories, it's just that the game itself suffers from clutter. You only really interact with Kahunas/Gym Leaders for a little while and mostly cause, yknow it's not their story. It's yours. 2)I agree with you on episodic releases, but I also don't. a) reborn is way too big to be released in one go. Maybe an indie studio with professional programmers, artists, and a good director could do it no problem, but fanprojects are a much different can of worms. b)episodic releases suck @ss. And yeah, you're not technically incorrect, but you're not correct either. Episodic usually refers to something that is self contained and doesn't really connect with other episodes. And the fact that you can go back and play through the entire game with an update doesn't not make it the telltale variety of episodic - which really, is a fancy way for updated by chapters (which is what reborn does) cause evening you've done does carry over and the story continues. c) Pokemon games get progressively short and have smaller more recognizable casts because they know not everyone has the time to put 200+ hours into a game like "the good ol' days" and if your like me, and have no free time, coming back to reborn after a long hiatus it can be a tall order to ask someone to remember every little plot detail and throwaway line ever written. (But sadly, I do remember, because I'm a terrible glutton for punishment I guess.) Anyways.... There's a reason tell tale gets (got, I suppose) so much flak, and that's because it's easy to forget and completely redo essential plot details that can make it either really meh or frustrating for a player. Kenny from Walking Dead is a really good example of this, but you could argue that it's a character flaw rather than an oversight how quick he is the murder ppl that aren't his family. c)to quote a joke "there are 99 bugs of code on the wall, 99 bugs of code, take one down patch it around and there are 394 bugs of code." A good example of this, is the game YandereSim where the dev states that every update to the game causes new bugs. Granted, Yandere is absolutely terrible at coding and even a noob like me cringes at the mess that is his code. And calling YandereSim a game is generous when it's really a con. Also did you no gleam anything from the aftermath of that infamous metal gear cutscene? Everyone /hates/ it, and when you can have a bout of diarrhea in the middle of it, come back and have it still going it's a sign that the story need to get to the loving point. Not to mention, that japanese story telling is really different from western story telling, which shows in a few translation issues and inconveniences. I mean, you totally /can/ have a long info dump, but that doesn't mean it's good or engaging. (Plus, it's usually really clunky and awkward if it's translated badly, leading to long sentences that use way too many words to covey a simple idea.) Especially if you can turn the volume off and starkly notice that it's literally just two 2d lips flapping. You can make this more interesting in a movie or anime with lighting and visuals, but it's harder in a game where writing is the bulk of the the narrative. And holy moly, that's a hole nother can of worms. I've been writing for nearly 6 years, and some characters still make me cry a little inside. A good example of this translation error (literally) is actually in the game itself, and really freaking funny. There's youngster Joey that's referenced for his "top percent ratatta" except when it's referenced Ame translated this to reference strength/levels when in reality Joey is talking about having a "top breed". Basically a kid bragging, naively, about their pure bred dog. This carries over to the main plot, in regards to Arceus (and the other legendary Pokemon which I won't name here BC I know it's gonna be a plot point). In the main games they don't actually /worhsip/ Arceus. Which is really similar to a lot of irl practices of Japan, where unlike in the West, in Japan it's more about practicing rituals and values than having "faith" in them. Really, the town only knows about it because it's "keeping with the old ways" which is a really japanese ideal when (I could be wrong) there's a lot of paranoia about globalism making traditions irrelevant. So as a result, it reads like a biblical God or Jesus/Vs Satan story (which the director of the first two Thor movies fell into as well, making them less Norse and more Christian. Which is why the third one is so much better and truer to the mythos.) So when he's saying the story has issues, he's not completely wrong, he's just touching on the wrong points. Tldr; Reborn is a fan game with issues a studio or someone with more experience wouldn't really have made, and writing mistakes/trappings that only someone really familiar with various kinds of storytelling to spot. Edit: Before I forget, it wouldn't be that difficult to implement a log system. Diamond/Pearl had a journal, but even then it wouldn't take much effort to put in a script that looks for flags between chapters that says "you're starting ep#, would you like to review?" because technically it's already there at the end of the eps, just only for the most recent one.
  19. Thanks! I guess I never knew because never ran out of pokesnax on any of my other runs, but I got both.
  20. I'm currently replaying through the game with a mono fire team, and while I don't particularly need these pokemon I'd like to have them for completion. Normally I wouldn't post on the forums but there's no actual indication of where to go or what to do - neither are there any other posts on the subject - and was hoping someone would help. I'd also like to note that on my mono water playthrough on e18, I got the two just fine - the same way they were obtained in the previous episodes. Firstly, instead of being by a tree Pichu is running across rooftops. I tried changing the weather, time of day, and walking back in and out but it only really hopped between the buildings each time I did that. Secondly, Mareep isn't in its building. I talked to its previous owner before hand, cleared out the tangrowth, changed the time of day, weather, reloaded my game etc but it's not there. Any help would be appreciated.
  21. In E17, they're around 85 in all stats at that point, according to a let's player who has RPG maker that I'm following. I assume it's similar for E18.
