I don't recommend it...at all. Episode jumping can corrupt your save (making it unplayable), but sometimes it also does some really bizarre things. If anything, I'd just download E15/14 and just play from there.

Geeze, that's quite a bit of dedication. Eh, I really feel bad that I can't allow both Blaziken and Larvesta for this, but I have to keep it fair for everyone.

I said something, but deleted it to say something else. While I won't allow for Blaziken and Larvesta, I can redo it so that you can have Snivy and Larvesta. That's the only fair thing that I can do because this was an honest mistake.

??? Luxstra, I don't know what you're saying but the Mystery egg is completely random. There's a 1 in 18 chance to get a Larvesta so the likelyhood of getting one is very little. So if you want Larvesta that badly, you'll probably be playing through the early part of the game 20-30 times unless you get lucky.

While I do know what all the Pokemon are in the mystery egg, I feel like I should keep it a mystery (there's still at least one Pokemon that hasn't been mentioned yet). There is also at least one of every type which is kind of handy for monotype runs.

I think Arc turned out great! The only complaint I have about Sigmund is that he's missing his coat (though it technically is a half-coat which doesn't exist in sims).

This is one of those really complicated issues that take me a while to explain. There's a trade in Beyrl Ward that you can do after receiving the growlithe, but you need an egg to activate it. If you did this trade before, it does not reset. Another note: If you started a save file before E15's release, it will always be an Azurill.

I'm still in this, but I'm going to really lie low from the RP section for a while so I probably won't be super active. There's a bit of stress going on around irl which makes it hard to read and post for me. I'll slowly chip away at that character sheet, but let me know when the other six are filled and I'll pick it up to finish it. That also mean I'll be dropping every RP except this and ANKL. Updates and such might be a few and far inbetween for the next few days.

All of the Ex-Gym leaders such as Cal and Blake I will do something for them. Cain, Victoria, and Ferm I'll try to stay true to the ruleset but I'm not going to swap out Pokemon until they start running their teams of six (since I'd have one Pokemon breaking the rule anyways). And now, onto the log: The Path to Florinia Types Banned Banned Pokemon Lv Cap: 23 Actually, quite a bit of stuff happens in this section before Victoria as I evolved Igglybuff into Jigglypuff and boxed Gulpin for the time being (T_T Probably forever because Shock Wave isn't a TM anymore). I'd make a post about Victoria and the Scraggy gang, but...it was mostly just Wingull Spamming attacks for both and Wolfy sand attack Scrafty. Jigglypuff was pretty useful through this part, but she's getting boxed pretty soon. I actually did a lot side questing for this part to train up a Blitzle and get an Ice Fang Electrike. I had to skip Litleo because Mechanightmare owned me so many times...so many. I can't use it anyway so I skipped it for now. The Cain battle lasted about 30 seconds so I'm not going to cover it. I'd also make a huge section for pulse Tangrowth, but...the whole scenario was shortned...a lot. The pulse fight was pretty exciting until Blitzle paralyzed it and Scorch pretty much finished it off effortlessly. Should've figured it wouldn't be too hard because I have to fight two more later. The school events themselves were rather interesting. I was training a new team so I got my butt kicked quite a bit. I see that the questions were made easier...but I'm not going to complain because I hated that part anyways. Then there's Fern. I'll summarize the first few tries by saying I had to leave the school to grind up my Rattata into a Raticate and withdrawl Mightyena from the box. Even then, I lost and additional two times. Thankfully, my spoink haxed its way to victory by allowing for that Roselia to hit itself to death. Mega Drain...you are starting to become my arch nemesis. My Team for the leader Jenny (Raticate) Lv 20 Ability: Run Away -Hyper Fang -Sucker Punch -Quick Attack -Bite Wolfy (Mightyena) Lv 21 Ability: Intimidate -Bite -Swagger -Howl -Tackle Wubs (Loudred) Lv 20 Ability: Rattled -Pound -Echoed Voice -Bite -Screech Barksalot (Herdier) Lv 20 Ability: Scrappy -Baby-doll Eyes -Work Up -Take Down -Ice Fang Pearls (Spoink) Lv 21 Ability: Own Tempo -Magic Coat -Confuse Ray -Psybeam -Psych Up Ruso (Blitzle) Lv 20 Ability: Lightning rod -Flame Charge -Charge -Shock Wave -Thunder Wave Summary of the Battle(s) Back in the olden days, Florinia had one Pokemon with the others pretty much there to wear you down. I learned the hard way that this isn't the case any more. Let's just say the first run wasn't pretty (I also had a Luxio with me at the time) as a single Pokemon pretty much decimated my team. Clearly, Cradily isn't her strongest Pokemon, but this Monstrosity is: Seriously though, this thing gave me so much trouble with that boosted Needle Arm attack. I had to sacrifice Jenny to basically take it out before it could set up. This thing give me shivers. Breloom wasn't too bad thanks to Pearls confuse hax (Spore Technician would've been a complete nightmare otherwise). Cacnea and Cottonee also went down to Confuse hax thankfully as well. Pearls wasn't able to finish Cacturne off so Herdier did with Ice Fang. I think Cacturne also pretty much one-shotted Blitzle as well (all he did was Flame Charge). Ferroseed was a funny story. I brought Ruso along instead of Luxio for the sole purpose of Flame Charging this thing. What do I do? I send out Mightyena and Swagger the thing. It gets better. I pretty much flinch-fuse the thing until it dies (except one Pin Missle) so Wolfy barely survived. And now there's Cradily. It...actually wasn't that hard. The painful part was shutting down its Attack with Baby-Doll eyes from Herdier. While it was setting up, I pretty much made its one and only attack worthless. Even with a pitiful attack, this thing can still hurt. I'll admit I had to use about 10 healing items against this thing, but some of that was due to it getting a critical. And people also say this thing has too much defense. Guess what? Stockpile is a double edged sword for her. Once it has a stockpile of 3, it can't raise it's defenses...at all. I just had Loudred screech three times before he fainted allowing Mightyena to almost one shot the thing. Thank the heavens this thing doesn't have Curse anymore or I would've been screwed. Overall, this was both a very fun and very challenging fight. And while I did get a huge advantage from Pearls's haxing skills, I'm sure I could've won without them...barely. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the Florinia fight is at its best because of how well she uses her field and Pokemon now. I'm also terrified of Maractus now. Next up I'll be facing Correy and I'm expecting to get my butt kicked many times. Edit: Opps, I forgot to mention all the Pokemon I used. They pokemon missing above are Pansear, Ice Cream Cone, Litleo, Jigglypuff, Skitty, Drowzee, Slurpuff, and Electrike. Grinding is so easy now. It lets me use a variety of Pokemon.

Hey there, I decided to make a whole new run now that all the gym leaders officially have field effects. One thing I notice are a lot of comments about how so-and-so leader was super easy and not a challenge. It's a bit annoying so I decided to make a ruleset to give each leader a fair fight. So here's the basic outline of the ruleset for each leader: Rules 1. I'm not allowed to use any of the starter Pokemon from the Grand Hall, but any found in the wild are fair game 2. The Gym Leader/Boss must be fought on their field effect the entire fight (aka, I cannot destroy or change it). 3. I cannot use any Pokemon who's type is resistant to the Leader/Boss's Type of Pokemon (ex. I can't use Grass Types against Julia) 4. I cannot use a Pokemon who's types are supereffective against a Leader/Boss (ex. I could not use Ghost Types against Shade), however, supereffective moves are not restricted 5. A majority of my Pokemon team must be at or below the Leader's lowest level Pokemon 6. This is a more personal rule, but I will be creating a ban list of Pokemon who either generally exploit or sweep the leader that I cannot use (ex. Goldeen for Julia and Hariyama for Florinia) Personal Rules 1. I will not use breeding or reset for EVs. Whatever I catch is what it is, though I may reset for the ability for an event Pokemon. 2. I will avoid using items, but will use them if needed. However, I will avoid item spamming. 3. Revives will not be used at all 4. Not really a rule, but I'll try to change up my team quite a bit from leader to leader The ruleset might seem a little confusing, but once I go through each leader, it will make a lot more sense. Alright, let's get on to the interesting Part...or at least what I remember of it. The Path to Julia Banned Types: My Ban List Lv Cap: 13* Truth be told, I did this before the actual version came out...and I kind of forgot quite a bit of it. It's probably a good thing because all I remember is getting KO'd quite a bit while grinding my Meowth, aka my "starter" for the run. Pretty much a lot of grinding and not much else. The Fern fight was a little interesting, but I easily beat him. Though I did want to strangle the kid during the Aster and Eclipse battle. The guy made me lose the fight twice because of his stupidity. Anyways let's get to the interesting part. Vs Julia Team Used: Rocket (Meowth) Lv 15 Ability: Technician -Fake Out -Fury Swipes -Bite -Growl Gluttony (Gulpin) Lv 15 Ability: Gluttony Item: Black Sludge -Amnesia -Sludge -Yawn -Pound Wolfy (Poochyena) Lv 15 Ability: Run Away -Bite -Tackle -Howl -Sand Attack Scorch (Pansear) Lv 15 Ability: Blaze -Fury Swipes -Lick -Incinerate -Play Nice Jenny (Rattata) Lv 15 Ability: Run Away -Tackle -Quick Attack -Leer -Bite Wubs (Whismur) Lv 15 Ability: Rattled -Pound -Echoed Voice -Screech -Astonish Summary of Battle: ...There's a bit of a story to the levels here. Considering I haven't fought Julia in a long, long time, I assumed here lowest Pokemon was 16. Anyways, I'll redo this battle in a new save because it wasn't that exciting (though Voltorb deserves recognition for putting a number on my team). Electrode put a big dent in my team, but using Rollout on Scorch pretty much ensued my victory. It ended in a 3-0. I will say that when you don't have any resistances, Julia makes good use of her field effect. Note: I actually used a total of 10 Pokemon this episode (Spinarak, Wingull, Igglybuff, and Dustox didn't make the cut). It's actually pretty easy to grind now so I recommend experimenting with teams a bit more. (Florinia is up next, but I'll get that one up tomorrow. It's quite the story).

Character (Player): Amanda Bigright Gender: Female Age: 23 Alignment: Lawful Good Appearance: Short, brown-haired girl with green eyes. She wears clothes typical of girls. (I'll probably work on this tomorrow). Personality: Amanda is a stubborn and prideful girl who almost never backs down from a challenge. Generally, she gives off the impression she's a pessimistic person. History: (I'll leave this blank for now, but I'll fill something in when it comes to me...it won't be anything particularly special). Skills: She is a wind mage who doesn't have too much knowledge in crafting. (eh, If any of you want to explain this it'd help me out) Servant: (N/A) (I'm still working on it, but I'm a noob when it comes to this stuff so it'll take me a little bit to figure it all out).

Just to let you guys know, all of the Pokemon you receive as an egg are really good either at that point in the game or are fantastic later in the game. I mean the worst one probably is Sneasel due to Weavile not being available until after the Sneasel Event, but it's honestly not that bad.

So you've made Nyu in a small house full of Pikachu maids already.

And if you did actually do the Azurill event, it's a little more complicated, but I can still do something about it. However, I will DELETE Azurill from your game if you wish for something else and you started a new game before 15. (Trust me, I'll know whether or not you're lying to me if you started before Ep 15).

If you guys are really bothered by the whole Azurill thing, I can change the Pokemon that you get out of it if you send me the save (please do it in a PM though). However, I will use a RNG so that there isn't any bias (otherwise I'd give you all Rhyhorns and Sneasels). I'm not supposed to do this, but I don't want people have to replay from the very beginning just to get something different.

There is a trading service, but all they technically do is hack in the Pokemon to the save iirc. And no, I'm not giving out that Larvesta. It's sole purpose is to complete the Pokedex. Besides, there's nothing you can offer me that I don't already have

But...I already have the one I wanted:

There is something I noticed beforehand. If you started a save before using E15, it will always be an Azurill. That's the only one that is fixed.

In all honesty, we don't tell people exactly where things are in the new episode unless it's been out for about a month. You'll have to give at least an effort and look for them yourself before anyone will help you.

Oh, you're talking about that giant fall. Yes, there is something down there, but you can't access it. And I wouldn't tell you where Lapras was even if you paid me.

Fine, I'll give you guys a better hint to cut down the searching for Lapras:

Pyrr, I don't think it has anything to do with collecting that Egg. Here's my pic to kind of explain it: Obviously, there should be a Pokemon running around there. It has to do with what version you started the game with (obviously anyone who did everything up to Correy wouldn't have this problem). I don't know if collecting the Ducklett Egg would effect this or not as I didn't test that. I could explain to you in better detail through a PM what the problem is, but there are certain thing I'm trying to avoid saying so that it's not exploited (you probably already know what it is).
