Oh, I just kind of... answered it in a way that represents what I would actually do if I could do all that cool stuff.

The Shaolin Guru 18% Strength, 13% Bloodlust, 32% Intelligence, 43% Spirit, 57% Vitality and 18% Agility! As one of the wisest and most powerful classes, the Shaolin Guru is a master of both combat and magic. Using light magic and mantras to enhance their martial arts skills, Shaolin Gurus can defeat even the most fierce, evil, and dark of opponents. By releasing blasts of light based energy from their fists, Shaolin Gurus can easily shatter through the armor and defensive spells of their opponents. Shaolin Gurus also excel at using healing and defensive magic making them valuable allies in battle. Indeed, these warriors believe in helping all people and will not hestitate to use their powerful magic in order to heal those in pain. By surrounding themselves with fields of psychic light energy, the prescient Shaolin Gurus can repell any sword or spell that tries to harm them. With their incredible combination of defense, strength, and magic, Shaolin Gurus are virtually invincible in battle; however, these warriors are most often peaceful and prefer not use any of their powers in an offensive or aggressive way. Even when attacked, these noble and insightful warriors will simply sit quietly using their incredible defensive abilities as their foes exhaust themselves in a futile onslaught. If Shaolin Gurus ever do engage in any sort of offensive attack, it will most certainly be to gently subdue and incapacitate, rather than to harm and kill. Thus, kindness, gentle strength, and patience are the true assets of Shaolin Gurus, allowing them to surpass warriors with more aggressive and impulsive natures! Finally like all the final stage Monk classes, Shaolin Gurus can use their mastery over moon magic to undergo a variety of transformations that enhance their abilities, including their legendary transformation into the sagacious Dragon Turtle.

No no, you're misunderstanding what I meant by that. The unfair part is specifically in quotation marks because some people would consider it to be unfair, I don't. The truth is that it's a massive advantage, but not an unfair one by virtue of the fact that the game lets you do it legitimately. You don't have to cheat to switch your pokemon, its an inbuilt feature of the game and hence fair for use, though the computer doesn't get access to this function so it does advantage you. The same can be said for things like X-items and revives. I choose not to use them because I can't honestly say that I'm better than this game unless I play with the rules that it uses, but it's not unfair for others not to do the same. That being said, what Ash does in the anime has no bearing whatsoever on what is fair and unfair in this game. The anime doesn't play by the game series' rules and vice versa so they're not really comparable.

Because it's restrictive and will turn people away from the game. It wouldn't affect me personally, but I don't see it as a particularly good design choice, if people actually want a challenge then the option is always there.

I think it's also important to note that most people playing this game play on shift rather than set. This means that any player will have a literal HUGE "unfair" advantage over the computer. At this point in the game I'm hesitant to think that it's going to be possible to create a legitimately challenging trainer for people with this advantage without making uber strong pokemon.

How flexible is this with stuff like timezones and restricted hours inside of said inconvenient timezones? Specifically (on weekdays) I'd probably have a couple of hours somewhere before dawn in America.

That's right folks, it's Lost Lore's birthday today. She's a grand member of the community who helps people out with problems about the game, and is frequently active on the server. Not that I would know. So wish her a good one. Happy Birthday Lost!

0/10 terrible birthday thread... Did I do it right? Happy Birthday Zippo.

I'm actually a sheep that learned how to type. Somehow I ended up as a mod.

Personally I think this is more of an original character than a Noire look alike. The personality is part there, but she doesn't look like the type to be timid outside of her rages.

Oh whoops. Isn't that Noire? Either way, my bad. But yeah, I don't buy the whole "look alike" thing myself. Well, I didn't until Owain showed up anyway. The first two could pretty easily have changed their names and been traveling the continents as mercenaries. Now I don't really know what to think.

Not sure what her support convos have to do with it. I was referencing the fact that Severa, Owain, and Inigo are all recruitable for the Noir faction, while there are none for Hoshido so far.

I don't even know what the reference is, mine was just called Fred 'cause it rhymed with ted.

I'm touched. No really, I... I know I'm a sensitive soul but I almost teared up at some of these. I know I haven't been around as much as I'd like, I was actually thinking about how much I'm missing these days and well, I don't like it. That's a story for another time though. Firstly let me just acknowledge Washman, Vinny, Alexus, Tempest, Nova, Arkhidon, Clara, Sky, Neo, Khayoz, Mikzal, Sandy, Frostbite, Cowtao, Jelly, Fezzdog, Bear, Sec, Notus, and Zachyl. They probably don't remember but these are the fine people who were quick to welcome me in my very own intro thread. Some of them are still here, some of them aren't, but all of them deserve a shout out for that alone. On to the main event then. Notus - You are without a doubt one of the best friends I could ever ask for, and once you get to the level that you're at, I stop ranking people. My Brazilian brother (Vinny calm down, and go to the end of the list), I doubt there's another person on this earth that could have resonated so well with me, so shortly after meeting me. I can't get enough of your helpful attitude, drive for the future, shared interests, and fantastic personality. You're also probably my eternal rival when it comes to competitive battling. Not much can make me feel more accomplished than winning a match against you, 'cause when it's against you it goes without saying that it'll be tough. When you come sailing over to my neck of the woods, make sure to say hi. Amethyst - What can I say that I haven't already said to you before? You're my boss, you're my friend, you're someone who has created something beautiful here, something I'm so, so, so proud to be a part of. Once you seemed far away, but the reality couldn't be more different. You're a role model for everyone in the community, I personally still have a lot I can learn from you, and you're a paragon among game designers world wide. That may seem unrealistic but it's true. You understand that the ridiculous heap of feedback and criticism I've tried to provide you has all been because I want this game to be the best it can be. I'm sorry that I'm not around more, but the fact that you understand why is just something else I have to be grateful for. From the bottom of my heart thank you, you have personally improved my life so much, and you've allowed so many others to do the same. DarkDesire - My nation leader, we have been victorious! Or we were. Thanks for a good time, you ran the best nation in the competition and I'm proud to have been a part of that. Azery - If you were to look up maturation in the dictionary you'd find a picture of this bloke. I had faith in you for a long time, and you proved me right. Contrary to what others have been saying I'd like you to keep changing. Keep changing in a good way. Dobby - I don't know you well, but that doesn't matter. We've never really connected but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you bring life to this place, and I can't help but thank you for that. Etesian - The lone soldier of the Team Showcase section. But you're so much more than that. You're a wealth of knowledge to rival my own, and you helped me and a host of others achieve a goal that one person alone could never have managed. We got those people their answers. Be glad of that. Fezzdog - Fezz, you are one of the best friends I ever made here, one of the earliest friends I ever made here, and a huge encouragement to me when I was still learning the art of battling. You quickly became one of my greatest rivals on the competitive scene, and I still proudly remember how surprised you were that I picked the game up with the initiation of gen 6. You taught me, you encouraged me, you challenged me, and you kept me company when the server was dead 'cause the sun was down in the US. You have no idea how happy I was when you returned, or maybe you do. I dunno. Hilda - You are without a doubt one of the firmest friends I've made in my time here, and one of the best friends I've ever made. That's a big call seeing as we haven't talked properly in forever, but I can just see so much of myself in you it's crazy. But there's so much that's different too. I'm glad to think that there was a time that I'd stay up late into your night, talking with you while your leg was broken, or when you couldn't sleep. I loved those times. One thing I've learned from my time spent in your company is never start an argument with Hilda 'cause it won't end in my victory, but despite that fact there's just something that keeps me trying. We share interests, we share faith, we share many more things and I hope I never forget the day that we met. That day represents a significant milestone in my life. Kaito - We fought as hard as we could to keep bug for nations huh? It's a shame that fell through, but it gave me a glowing first impression of you. One that only reinforced itself as the competition continued and by the end I felt like you were my friend. You've never fell short of the exceedingly high standard you set in my mind, and I've got faith that you never will. Thanks for being so cool man. Kyoyoyoyoyoyoyo - Yes I made sure that was the right number of yo's. You, are someone I really wish I knew better than I do. We've talked, but we've never really talked. Still, I appreciate your wit, your friendliness, and your capacity to help others. Dan - I don't really know what to say Dan. Perhaps you should go and read over the last post I made about how great you are, because you can be sure my opinion hasn't changed. One thing I remember though, is that you were there with Fezz, when I first stepped onto the server for anything other than league. You made me feel welcome Dan. You're a large part of why I'm where I am today. Perhaps larger than you think. Lost Lore - A calm head on calm shoulders from what I've experienced. We haven't talked as much as I'd like, but that's my fault. You joined around the same time as me, and I was grateful for the company. Mikzal - You get the place and I'll get the kangaroos. We'll even make sure to invite Jerry. Oh, and I'm really sorry I couldn't make good on my promise that I'd stick around on Skype. Just one more thing I've got to try and fix one day, hold me to that. Winter - Winter, you are the greatest representative of my home country that I could ask for. But you're more that just "that cool Australian guy," you made me feel comfortable, and welcome the instant I dropped by on Skype. I was shocked to find that you're someone who's been here as long as time itself, because up until that point "those people" all seemed on another level, unreachable legends that I could never be, but you befriended me and I miss hanging out with you. Pineapple - A shout out for the thread, and a shout out for the friendship. Thanks for the lower tier battles once upon a time. RainbowDash - You helped make me feel welcome on the server when not many people knew who I was. I always had time to listen to what you had to say, and I was overjoyed when you returned here. Thanks for everything you've done and are doing. Rosesong - Rose, you beautiful, caring, wonderful person, I'm lucky that I decided to teach you the basics of competitive in preparation for nations huh? I feel like that was the driving force behind you leaving the pool of people from the community and truly becoming one of the best friends I've ever known. I remember all to well you staying up late listening to me chatter on about this and that, to crazy hours of the morning, and being able to take pride in your wins, while being able to help you see the path to improvement in your losses. Your passion for your friends, your readiness with a word of encouragement or congratulation, and your caring nature are things that I'll never appreciate enough about you. Clara - As much as you're a crazy one, you're certainly fun. Your constant threats to set my wool on fire make me chuckle, as weird as that is. And can I just say a punishingly good battler. Puts me to shame. Jerry - Jerry. I'll come clean with you mate, first impressions with you were pretty intimidating. It took a while for me to learn that you have a heart of gold under that mass of bear muscle that is your shell, but perhaps nothing can truly convey the respect, admiration, and friendship I feel for you like #wefam can. It might seem silly, but it's the truth, somewhere along the line we became part of a family full to the brim of awesome people and always encouraging more to join. Sparky - The always peppy Sparky. Someone who makes me feel like a role model but in a good way. Keep it up, you'll be a fine person. Sparsyle-0 - A shout out to a recent member? Have I actually been active? Keep that guide going, it's great. Really. Iowayshay - Those. Damn. Sims. Puts a smile on my face every time. Tacps - You're useful. You're always so damn useful. Helping with the game, helping unstick people save files, helping moderate the forums, helping people enjoy this game on Mac's, helping people find things in the game. And at such a young age. Nowhere better does "an old head on young shoulders" fit. I look forward to seeing who you will become, you have so much potential. Fush - I probably can't express how glad I am that I started playing those Fate VN's shortly after you did. A great part of my life here, and far better for someone to share that with. Zeph - \o/ Ayahoyoyo. I'd say that is all but it doesn't even scratch the surface. Zeph, you are the most amazing person. Don't let anyone, ever, tell you otherwise. You light a smile on my face every time I walk into that server and see your name. Your art skills are something I envy, and the fact that you drew your current avatar with just a small amount of prodding from me still astounds me. You're one more on the long list of people that I don't see enough, but hey, at least we have similar time zones right? I can't express enough how much I appreciate your company at any point in time. Thank you. Thank you so damn much. ~DerpySimon - Mate. You gave me competition for that "question answering guru" slot for the longest time, and eventually you won out. People come, and people go, but you're a constant. I hope that doesn't change. Secundum - This may surprise you, but a shout out to you Sec. Not only did you welcome me here, but you were instrumental in my challenging the league, in and of itself a huge part of my early experience with this community. Yash - Your wish is my command oh great and illustrious Yash. Arkhidon - Ark, we don't talk much huh? No really, have you ever stopped and thought about that? I consider you one of the best friends I've made here, but we never talk. I feel like that says something in and of itself. I can honestly say that I liked you from the moment I stepped in the door here, it's just something about how you conduct yourself. You just exude cool, calm, and collected, you're passionate about music, you're smart, you're fun, and you've got a hell of a future. I can't say I consider you the little brother that Jerry does, but perhaps you're a truly awesome cousin. Alexus - August 21st is a fine day isn't it? Just about as fine as Cordelia Fire Emblem Awakening. Thanks for being around, even if I'm not. Skitty - You're someone with a beautiful soul. I'd seen you around, but the first time we really interacted was through nations. DD and Kaito may have been the head of our little group, but I'll always consider Jerry, you and myself to have been its heart. You're so caring, and strong, and mature that you make me wish I could say that we had spent more time together up to this point. Even so, you're still my friend. And you can kick me around a battle any day, I've definitely got more I can learn from you there. Deadpool - I'll be honest, I had my doubts when you first joined. The contest with the orbs, and the voting, and the bageling right? I'm glad to say I was wrong, and that you are a fine member of the community. You earned your way to ace. Gutten_tag - My irrepressible breeding mad German friend, if you ever read this, never stop being you. Hukuna and Murdoc - I'm lumping you two together because I have largely the same things to say for both of you. That Fate RP was great fun, and you two helped a lot with my introduction into RPing. I'm sorry that it fell through, I know you were both enjoying it a lot, but hopefully this new one will work. Murdoc, I've really enjoyed being a part of your introduction to what I now know is a franchise that both of us love. Vinny - How can I even begin to fathom the number of things I appreciate about you Vinny? You really are my other Brazilian brother, someone who made me welcome here right from the beginning. Perhaps you don't know this, but for a while there you were my role model. Astounding huh? To think that I had lessons to learn from someone a decent number of years younger than me. All I can hope is that you learned a thing or two from me too. At the end of the day, I just can't put it into words, other than to say that you're right. Your truly are my friend, not only that but one of the best friends I have ever had, and will ever have. And lastly to all of my greatest friends here, you know if you're one. (I hope, otherwise I haven't really done a good job huh?) Thank you so very much for improving my life through your words, care, and deeds for the past year and a bit. My life wouldn't be the same without you.

Fred the ted. A teddy bear with a bow tie.

I believe his character got a redesign in episode 15. He now has brown hair and a red scarf.

Finally the time has come for Heracrobot! Show Clarice how to really throw a focus punch. Even though Heracross' focus punch is technically weaker than Breloom's. Shut up alright, just give me Heracrobot.

What about the railnet cave where you can catch early Woobat and Noibat? Does that work to change it's cloak to sand?

I didn't actually go there, instead I just searched the encounters data from the beta. It could have changed since then, but it's more likely that the designation on the obtainable page is a mistake.
