  1. I'm going to predict we'll get nothing on Elder Scrolls VI this year.

    It's development has been confirmed, so, I think it's likely we'll probably get a teaser trailer for it; I doubt they'll be as silent as they were with Fallout 4. Even if Fallout 4 was a disappointment in the end.

  2. Honestly I don't have any E3 hype this year.

    I'm not big on the "new" variant of the consoles most people have already bought, it's basically shafting early adopters of the new console generation.

    Bethesda will probably showcase a new Elder Scrolls game, which I hope will take place in a land we haven't been to since Daggerfall. Would love to go to Hammerfell again, maybe Black Marsh as well. There's a lot going down in Black Marsh and we are yet to do much with it... For good reason, given it's a death trap to any race not Argonian.

    That aside... Most of my Hype is leading to Pokémon SuMo.

    Other than that... Maybe a Sunset Overdrive sequel on Microsoft's end would be nice.

  3. I'm rocking Popplio; it looks a bit goofy, but so does Mr. Mime and Garbodor; he'll fit in nicely on my team of misfit Pokémon, someone's gotta love them all. I think nostalgia is very strong this coming Gen, the amount of salt is honestly unnecessary. I'm fond of the new designs, across the board. If anything, I'm more concerned about the typing of the Starters and Legendaries than I am the appearance; the appearances are standard for the series.

    I've also noticed quite a few comments about the new Starters looking childish. Reality check, this game is sort of INTENDED FOR A CHILD AUDIENCE. Remember old fans, Game Freak isn't solely attempting to appeal to YOU; they are trying to appeal to multiple audiences. And, yes, their child audience is a very big part of their audience base.

    I like the direction we're going, now if only we get ahold of some Johto Starters and give them Megas I'll be happy.

  4. If you want an easier time, you'll need Graveler like everyone is suggestion; I did it without a Graveler, myself, but it was a pain in the ass to do so. I honestly don't even remember the team I had at that point, I just know I was annoyed that I couldn't catch a Joltik; though, that's the trend with most of the "hardcore" fan games. A lot of my favourites are considered too good for early game, Galvantula frequently topping that list. Thankfully, I can normally have a Teddiursa early to mid game.

    Though, before I get further off tangent, Graveler. Grimer should be able to go a long way by itself, though; now that I think about it, I believe I walled it with Grimer. You're going to need something that can tank hits more than anything else. Your current team, barring Grimer, all seem to lack bulk; which may be important further down the road.

  5. Other than simply enjoying it, Pokémon is a really important part of my life. It's always been there as an escape for me. From the times when my step father and mother would have shouting matches, to when my step mother locked me away in a room from everyone else when I was little. It's always been there. But, that's only part of it. The other big reason, is because when I'm playing those games, I get absorbed in them; I feel like I'm important and like I matter, even when I feel like I'm not and don't in the real world.

    Even when I'm feeling my lowest here, in there; I always have at least six companions who care for and love me unconditionally, even if I fail momentarily there as well. I'm important there, not only to them, but the people in the world. I accomplish big things, take down great evils, I do so much that I would never be able to just... Do or accomplish here.

    It's a valuable escape for me. That's why I play it.

  6. I honestly prefer games with personal customization and immersion. It's part of why Pokémon Y hits such a sweet spot for me, because I can actually play as... Well, me. It's why I love RPGs so much, and even Halo where I can create my own SPARTAN.

    Games with a preset story and character are okay, though I seem to be incredibly picky with then. For instance, The Witcher. Everyone loves it, but I can't get in to it. And, my entire reason for having trouble with that is it claims to be an RPG; yet I'm stuck with a preset character throughout the entire series. Sure, I can make many decisions and change clothes and so on; but it just doesn't immerse me like it should. If you were to say Witcher 3 or Dragon Age: Origins, I would play Dragon Age: Origins every time.

    As for Fourth Wall Breaking, that really depends on the tone of the game. If the fourth wall is obliterated out of nowhere in a game with a more serious tone, it breaks immersion and makes it a no go. But, if the game has enough humour and doesn't take itself seriously at times it's fine.

  7. No problem, you just happened to ask about a Pokémon I'm very familiar with; Poison Types are my favourite. I'd suggest getting a Gulpin if you want a Poison Type that can dish out some damage early on. Though Gulpin/Swalot are more of a wall in terms of stats, they have access to more offensive attacks earlier on. And, due to their even Sp. Atk and Atk stat you can roll Physical or Special.

    I personally roll Special with Swalot, if only due to Acid Spray chewing through anything not Steel Type's Sp. Def. The Stockpile set works as well, and actually synergizes with Acid Spray due to having a minimum of 100 Base Special Damage with Spit Up.

    You can get by with being a physical attacker too, you have Body Slam upon evolution in to Swalot; and a few pretty good Physical TM options. Though, for maximum efficiency Special is probably the better route due to STAB with Special Poison moves.

    Toxic at level 25, and Venoshock access mid game creates a monster as well.

    Also, this accounts for Grimer, Trubbish, and Gulpin; STAB Sludge rips through many Pokémon early on as well. Regardless, I would personally recommend keeping at least one of them in your party due to Julia. My Grimer tanked the later half of her team after I ran a sweep train with Fury Cutter Kricketune.

  8. Grimer/Muk is pretty good, it has a permanent place on my team to be honest; along side Trubbish/Garbodor as well, they compliment each other. If you're looking for raw offense with Grimer, you're doing it wrong. Grimer is best suited as a Stall, the good ole' Poison and wait. It helps that mine has its HA, though, Poison Touch is great and will pay off down the road when you have access to contact moves.

    For early stages of Reborn you're better off using Mud-Slap, Minimize, and Poison Gas. I'd personally keep Sludge for damaging reasons until later. But, if you use your Grimer properly a combo of it and Trubbish can completely massacre Florina's gym and quite a few encounters down the road.

    Good stuff mid-late game when you have a Muk and Garbodor with access to Venoshock as well. Unfortunately, utilizing Muk's attack stat will be a real pain until it learns Gunk Shot given the absence of Poison Jab. (Why no love for this well rounded move?)

    Tl;Dr: The Grimer line works at its best when stalling, due to a lack of TMs to make it an effective damager.

    The bodies WILL hit the floor, just in a slow and orderly fashion.

  9. Were you looking for it between Midday and 8 PM? That and clear weather was all I needed to find it on your save.

    Look:

    And then

    So, the time you were looking for it was wrong? Other than that, I can't see what'd be wrong.

    Searched for it at the times of 10am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm; checking every single one of those spots. So, I am honestly dumbfounded at how you found it so easily. I never restarted my game, of course, but I don't see how that was the issue. That's why the date on my save is weird, because I messed with it multiple times trying locate it.

    ** I'd... Mark this as resolved if you could, all I had to do was restart my game client itself and... It worked. I'll just face palm my way out of the door. **
