I do want to say though, that anywhere near Spinel Town and it's Alakazam in a Pulse Machine issues would be cool to have a Pokemon Center machine be ported there. Oh and the Alakazam thing is pure joking/speculation (unless I'm spoiling something in Episode 9 that I have yet to do.)

Exp. Share IS in the game. You have to win the lottery in the Game Corner. Which I'm pretty sure is easy if you bring all your in-game traded pokemon. First try, my Castform snagged it for me.

Clearly its Air Type. Probably Flying?

I did it the exact same way without Drought Ninetails, but my Magmar had Sunny Day.

Trick Room is along a similar pattern as Eevee. Just enter the doorway that has roughly two stones close to it compared to the rest of the rooms. It is kind of relative distance though as the stones are not directly next to the doors.

I remember a trainer named Miku in Opal Ward I think. Oh and there was an alley with a trainer named Reginald/Regi and and the item XSpecial. If it wasn't planned like that, I found it a funny coincidence.

Found both gender Nidorans without doing any special events so I doubt there is anything more complicated going on than a low encounter rate.

Both gangs give Water Stones.

I'd argue Lava Plume is better for Magmar than Flamethrower in that battle. But I did replace Lava Plume with Flamethrower right after the battle when my already evolved Magmar hit level 49 (I think it was that level.)

Numel is by the closed gate to the Desert in North Peridot. They're also in the volcano cave.

Sunny Day Magmar works just as well as Drought Vulpix. Mine survived the entire fight killing all six of hers with Lava Plumes (and quite a few of my own pokemon.) Didn't even have to use any healing items.

There are instructions all over the forum, but the basic concept for Chrysolia Forest is a 3x4 set of rooms with "revolving doors." I say revolving doors because basically you enter one room and an entrance opens and closes. There is one path that is kind of hard to see, but basically just keep moving forward from room to room. Trees will open one path and close another so you loop around a couple of time in the forest but eventually you get to an exit.

Good news. It appears Politoed is available (similar to Electivire). King's Rocks can be obtained through the Pick-up ability. Edit: Looks like only on pokemon between levels 11 and 30?

I have yet to see a post from you that wasn't extremely rude or pointlessly aggressive. As to the OP: you have really defensive pokemon that resist most of the gyms/hard battles so far and your moves hit everyone in doubles which is nice.

I'd assume the difference between Magby and Elekid may cause only the electirizer to be available. I don't know how all the coding works, but its a 5% catch rate to have the item- you have to catch Elekid compared to the free Magby. Or every verbal person is insanely unlucky.

At the end of the story so far, I hate Fern just as intended like everyone, but am I the only one who felt he didn't start out to be an asshole? I understand the merit of having that one annoying douche of a rival but my original impressions of Fern were he had a sort of rude personality, but you'd eventually learn to get along like teaming up at the first factory. Maybe I missed some dialogue or something, but my impressions of him were stereotypical and barely aggravating rival (first meeting) -> begrudging ally with room for character development (factory) -> full on mega-prick asswipe (rest of the game). I just remember noticing a possible change of plans in writing or something. Maybe I'm crazy... Edit: Maybe I'm lucky- Fern and I worked really well in the doubles.

Check televisions for weeks worth of weather forecasts to find your thunderstorm.

With 17 planned gyms, I don't see us getting access to free power for a little while.

I was raging at the very beginning of my first playthrough when I didn't know about the Shiny increase and Victoria had picked tha level 5 Shiny Tepig... Oddly enough, just like Cain's Haunter who loses its nickname in later fights, the Tepig wasn't shiny at the next battle.

Huh. Not to be rude or anything but you're going to have to adapt. This isn't your easy Gamefreak game where you can beat the entire thing with one pokemon. I've had to grind several pokemon for specific fights and most of them have ended up being a valued team member later on. Never knew I'd like Solrock so much.

Add Trick Room to the list, you get it from the Railcave puzzle. Off the top of my head, I remember Telekenisis is from the dark room in the second abandoned factory in Peridot with all the caged pokemon. Quash was early on in the game in an alley or one of the missions or something. Yeah only sort of remember where I got most of the TMs.

Because Croagunk will have Faint Attack and eventually Sucker Punch, your best bet is the Unkowns and the end of the Grand Stairway cave. They give tons of XP, and are 1-2 shot by dark moves depending on level. You're only unlucky when their Hidden Power randomly happens to be Psychic type. It'd be hard to level Croagunk on those rock types when its only fighting move is Revenge/Reversal (I forgot which.)

Ah. Was made doubly short for me because Siggy, Bennett, and Serra were uncannily easy to beat. Serra was hilarious. 2 crits, 2 burns, a missed Blizzard, and my Sunny Day Magmar swept Lava Plume swept all 6 without even dying. Edit: I don't mind waiting for something as cool as that sounds Ame.

How big is an episode? Where did episode 7 turn into 8?
