CURIE

Does Absol count as bad enough a Mega?

So I see some people speculating the Mr. mime PULSE is in the glass place in Agate. Well that's kinda retarded. Wouldn't you put the one thing that can take down the barrier, IN the barrier? It kinda severely diminishes the chances of anyone getting to it. Nah, I think we're gonna have to find a way into Labradorra. Same thing for the sleepy PULSE in Agate. As for how, well, maybe the Barrier doesn't block the back of the city? Maybe we have to climb up the back of one of the mountains, which faces the desert. But of course to reach the desert, we'll have to resolve the Agate situation. So about that one. Some of you may not have noticed, but when you first enter Agate with Cain, there's a Meteor Grunt visible for just a second before he runs off screen. It's subtle but clearly intentional. The Meteors obviously have some way to be immune to the sleepy PULSE, explaining why Terra wasn't affected. Maybe, after we resolve the thing with Amaria and the Waterfall, Samson and Ciel would get Terra to tell us how to block out the sleepiness.

So I realized I had forgotten to do something with episode 14 that I did with all the other new episodes: Go through the Jukebox for new music! And lookie what I found: That means the desert itself can't be far behind... right? Hey, it could happen as maybe a way to get into Calcenon (maybe the Mr. Mime barrier doesn't block the back side of the mountain, which faces the desert). The best part is, the music itself is my second-favorite of GlitchxCity's tracks: Now, Ame just has to find a way to implement my number one favorite... And maybe number three...

Update 34: The Wasteland Okay, final battle with Cain before entering Byxbision. Long story short, DiggersbyTho won’t have much of a chance to shine in that place, despite type advantage. So, let’s give her a chance to shine now! Okay, Venomoth isn’t weak to Bulldoze, so try out the new Strength move- oh, it has Giga Drain… Okay, take two. Braveheart, you’re up first. Flame that Venomoth and then we can get to the Diggersby action! No wait, his next guy’s Samurott. Jack, you got this. Okay, now Diggersby can- A HAUNTER? COME ON! And so Diggersby was only able to shine against the last two Pokemon. And one of them (Nidoking) almost killed her, since it outsped and used Double Kick while I tried to get off a Swords Dance. Because apparently that big hulking mass of armor can go faster than a Rabbit. Seems legit. And so I gained passage to the wasteland. I would say that it went by uneventfully, for the same reason as Azurine Island (no trainers, and no reason to fight the wild Pokemon), but I did a couple things of note there. For starters, I found an Ability Capsule lying around that I’m pretty positive was not there in earlier episodes. Also, I spent a good chunk of time sitting in front of a tree spamming Headbutt, in order to get an Inkay. I’ll probably never use it on the team, but I did teach it Embargo (I have the TM) and gave it a Focus Sash as soon as I got to a PC, because… Future plans. Oh look, a Fern Battle is next up. I can do that instead of Aya right? Right? Please don’t make me fight Aya…

How are Meta Knight's two henchmen, Sword Knight and Blade Knight, still alive? They say they met Meta Knight during the war against Nightmare, but that was at least 800 years ago, maybe more! And they weren't Star Warriors like Mexican Knight- I mean Meta Knight was, they they were just regular guys... Did Meta Knight... DO something to them? Because if he did, it could be argued that he's no better than Nightmare Enterprises!

If it were under any other circumstance, the metal pole would have probably snapped in two. But since it was being held by Edward, someone who had absorbed Kenny's powers before, the results were different. Instead, the pole conducted the auric energy that the scimitar was composed of, as if it were electricity, into its wielder; the blade itself shrinking out of existence as it was absorbed. Edward hopped back a good twenty feet as the energy he had just stolen started to take effect. "Oh, NOW I know what you meant by thievery, you weren't talking about the gold... By the way, why do I suddenly feel like murdering everyone I see?" He shook his head. "Eh, I'm over It. Anyway, how do you expect to beat me if your energy attacks don't work? You'll need a physical weapon for that- like this" he said, hefting his metallic construction material turned weapon. He suspected that if Kenny could make lightning, he could throw fireballs, but he was confident that at this distance he'd have plenty of time to avoid them.

Everyone's talking about the one guy wanting to remove Blaziken lol. Lemme put my two cents in: I think removing any of the starters would drop a fair amount of interest from early players. When I first began, I remember one of my first impressions being "you can choose from ALL the starters in this game? That's awesome!"

I don't know if she still has it, but Aya used to have a Gengar with Sludge Wave. It's not COMPLETELY illegitimate, because there was a special Nintendo event a while back for a Sludge Wave Gengar (and a more recent one this Halloween, except it was shiny and Aya's isn't). But for Aya to have it, it would mean she's able to cross dimensions into the real world and travel back through time in order to obtain it. Then she'd have to take it back into her world, and use reality warping powers to turn the Gengar on her DS into a real Gengar. If this were Shade we were talking about, MAYBE I'd believe it, but Aya... Well, if she had these powers, she wouldn't still be trapped in Calcenon.

Update 33: The world’s strongest Pokemon Ask yourself, what is the world’s strongest Pokemon? Did you say Arceus? Mega Rayquaza? NOPE, it’s SLURPUFF! What other Pokemon could defeat a Garchomp, thirty levels higher than it, wielded by a trainer with Full Restores while he himself only gets Super potions and an Ultra Potion, single handedly? Okay, it wasn’t completely single handedly. He had a LOT of help from Pumpkin. Pumpkin went in first and used Reflect. Then, for some reason, Garchomp used Stone Edge and Pumpkin survived, barley. I used his extra turn to use Charm and lower its attack. It then used Fire Fang, and, miracle of miracles, it missed! I got ANOTHER Charm in before Pumpkin went down. JUST KIDDING! Garchomp was so weak by that point by the first two Charms, that when it used Fire Fang again, Pumpkin survived and let me get in a third Charm, putting him at minimum attack. Boy am I glad I decided to keep leveling this guy. Finally Pumpkin went down, and out came Strawberry. Two Cotton Guards later, and Garchomp was done for. Used Fake Tears three times in a row, and Draining Kiss took him down in 6 hits (it would have been 3, but the Full Restores). And I didn’t even use ONE healing item. Obviously I went overlevel from this, but I used a Common Candy right after. Don’t worry about me running out, I went out and bought like thirty of these beforehand. And just in case there’s anyone here who doesn’t believe me: By the way, HOW was Solaris’ Garchomp able to still use Dragon Rush and kill Kiki? I kinda made it faint… Anyway, as a reward for my awesome victory, I got the HM for Strength. Normally I’d just dump it on the HM slave, but in this particular run I have a certain Diggersby who would really appreciate it. It has 10 less Base Power than Take Down, but I think it’s more than a fair trade for better accuracy and not hurting herself. I still gave it to SlaveTho as well, in the off chance I have him but not Diggersby around. Well, now that all that's finally over, a battle that I've been dreading even more than this one looms ever closer...

Update 32: Rematch with an old nemesis-Pyrous Mountain Take Two As it turned out, the only guys I had who were in danger of overleveling were Pumpkin and Strider. So instead of going all the way back to the city, I just backtracked to the nearest patch of grass to level them up and common candy them. It took forever though, because the Pokemon on this island give almost NO exp! When that was finally over, it was time to do battle with everyones least favorite Chatot. The battle itself is on a factory field, which kinda doesnt make sense to me. How would a secret room in the back of a breeding facility ever count as a factory? Anyway, Taka led off with a new guy this time, a Klefki. Not sure what to do about it, I set up my screens with Pumpkin and switched to Braveheart for a Flamethrower. I expected the Klefki to do something with its infamous Prankster ability, but nope it just spammed Mirror Shot over and over, which didnt do crap because of Light Screen and that Bravehearts a fire type. When it went down though, Braveheart didnt get the Moxie boost. Ame, fix plz. Didnt matter anyway because next up was Floatzel. Switched to Sassy and used Charge Beam in order to get the boost that Braveheart was denied. The attack was boosted by the field, and almost killed Floatzel twice, but Taka Ultra Potioned it both times. It may have seemed like a waste of time, but it actually set me up for a +3 Special Attack Meowstic sweep! Even Cradily, the Pokemon that was once feared as Florinas crusher of dreams, couldnt resist being one shot! Then again, it helped that Signal beam was super effective. But then of course the Chatot happened. Pumpkins Light Screen could protect me from much of the damage, but it couldnt stop the confusion hax. Or the critical hit hax. Not only Sassy went down, but also Pumpkin (had to get the Light Screen back up). Thankfully, I had Strider with me to outspeed it and finish the job. During the trek through Pyrous Mountain, I tried to give DiggersbyTho a chance to shine, since she hasnt seen any action in who knows how long (and because of Ayas new field, she wont see much action in the future either). It didnt really work out, since Bulldoze always seemed to do more damage to my ally than my enemies. And thats only when my enemies werent airborne! I had to resort to leading with Jack, since his Ghost and Grass typing complements Victorias leads Fire and Fighting. Speaking of Victoria, I noticed that one of her lines is I dont understand, why does Team Meteor try to chase everyone away? This is after the whole under the grand stairs incident right? Didnt Solaris tell us he told her the whole thing about the sacred grounds? She should know perfectly well why theyre trying to chase everyone away. Now if youll excuse me, I have some strategizing to do. Next up is a battle that I dont have to win, but am determined to. EDIT: whoops, I had accidentally referred to DiggersbyTho as a "he", when it's a female.

Well for starters, no one seems to have tried the Sailor Moon Cressalia, or any kind of Cressalia yet. Brb while I find the idea I posted about it. EDIT: found it

No, not male Meowstic! He's been awesome in my 6th gen run of Reborn! EDIT: And Rapidash, and Arurorus T_T both Pokemon whose designs I liked and wanted to use on a team in the future

Sorry it's been a while guys, I kinda had temporarily lost my Pokemon X version and everything else had to go on hold until I had found it again.

Yup, pretty much the response Edward was expecting. Something along the lines of "Then you shall face a fate worse than death" followed by a projectile attack. But holy crap, he did not expect the attack to be force lightning! He tried rolling to the side, but of course the electricity sought him out. However, rather than frying him, the lightning was attracted to the end of his metal pole weapon, like it would be to a lightningrod. And like a lightningrod, the pole conducted the bolt harmlessly into the ground. Edward then did his little vanishing trick, but he didn't intend on hiding this time. Nah, Kenny could probably sense him or some bullcrap like that. This time, he was trying to act faster than Kenny could react or launch another attack. He reappeared to Kenny's left, now with the pole in his hands, and swung it like a Shaolin Monk would a Bo staff, intending to knock Dark Lucario's scimitar out of his hands.

Update 31: Azurine Island-The Worst of Betrayals It’s the little things about Reborn that make it so magical. Things like “oh, so there’s a particularly difficult double battle coming up? Well, let’s put a bunch of cut trees in front of it so that you HAVE to waste a party slot for an HM slave! Oh but don’t worry, there’s a healing machine and a PC in that building- but you can’t use it because the battle starts as soon as you enter!” Yeah, we’re skipping over the island’s overworld, because not much happened there. None of the Pokemon there were sixth gen, and I couldn’t do any level grinding off of them, so I just ran from everything. I did get a Miracle Seed, so that’s something if Jack wants to power up Bullet Seed. It was this battle, not the Kiki one, where I really needed Pumpkin’s prankster screens. AND GUESS WHO I LEFT BEHIND IN ORDER TO TAKE SLAVETHO? Just kidding, it was Jack I dropped. I led off with both Meowstic, setting up some screens and testing out the new Signal Beam. It all went swimmingly until Solrock started using Psywave, an attack that is based on level and isn’t affected by type or screens. Between that and the Fire Spins, I quickly recognized it would be the most annoying thing in the battle. I switched Pumpkin for Strider and tried to take it out with the new Bug Laser, but it barely survived. I couldn’t attack it again to finish it off either, because Rhydon’s Rock Blast landed WAY to many critical hits in a row and almost killed Sassy. I had to spend that turn healing while Strider took down Rhydon, and while I did, they healed as well, keeping that annoying thing in all the longer. Next out came Magmar, so Strider STILL couldn’t intervene as he was busy Water Pulsing it while I had to heal Sassy again (I only had Super Potions which only heal her halfway). When she got her chance to attack again, I went for Charge Beam in the hopes of raising my Special Attack to get that OHKO. I got it, but of COURSE another Psywave and I had to heal again. Meanwhile, Electabuzz was forcing Strider to change to using Round so he could avoid getting one shot by a Thunderbolt or something, which caused his damage output to go waaay down. I need some better moves for the guy. Sassy FINALLY got her shot in and took out the Solrock, but both she and Strider got paralyzed in the process. Just then the light screen faded, so I guess it was the perfect opportunity to switch back to Pumpkin. But before he could get it up again, the final Pokemon Milotic Hydro Pumped Sassy out of the battle (WHYYYYYY MILOTIC? WHY MUST MY FAVORITE POKEMON BETRAY ME?). I went to Strawberry and Fake Tearsed it, preparing to use Energy Ball but didn’t expect it to have Competitive. Not much came of it thankfully, because the only attack it managed to use was a Twister before going down. Now, I'm conflicted. There's no PC on this island, so do I make the trek all the way to the city and back to change my team? If I go for Taka with the one I have now, some of the fighters might overlevel mid-battle...

With all the hype Goomy's been getting for whatever reason lately, I can only imagine what the actual in-game event will be like.

I never really talked about it, but I came to the same conclusion long ago. Mark my words, 'cuz I'm calling it now. It's a plot twist that WILL happen.
