Lost Lore

I didn't try to go to Route 2 until after I'd been told to go buy the Powder Vial, and really, the guy was pretty clear about what you had to do with it once he sold it to you... I finished Episode 12 when it was still 12.0. The only things that took me a while to figure out were the fact that you had to jump across the rocks to navigate the route (which the new NPC in 12.1 tells you now) and which powder I needed for what (I tried the Rage Powder before the Sleep Powder, whoops). After that it was pretty simple. I also went south before going north, but that was just luck on my part. Went ahead and completed north too later on, anyway, just because.

TM19 Roost - Aventurine Cave TM20 Safeguard - An area in Rhodochrine Jungle that's past Beryl Cave, requires Rock Smash TM41 Torment - Apophyll Cave Got it covered~

Skuntank would've literally been my pick because favourite Poison-type. Even though I'm always too late due to computer problems. Posting to say that the title made me laugh + good luck with Aya. (You've beaten every Leader so far so I doubt you'll have trouble with her. I don't expect heads to roll until Noel, actually...)

This is quite possibly the best thing I've ever heard. You can add them to the list of people I'd want to meet in-game, then. Not that I hadn't wanted them to meet before on account of Titania probably saying something that will royally fuck his smug ass up. That'd totally make my day. Edit: And I've just realized, they're sure to meet- Fern is collecting badges. I'll just be over in my corner giggling maniacally, if you need me...

I dunno, Ability Capsules are possible... they're not overpowered, really. Earlier access to them would be nice. The rest, though, are a bit too much. Focus Sashes aren't terribly broken in that they're one-use only in-game, so they're there.

I don't need to be choking on my food with laughter right now, why did I click this thread? Do the Donphan in Agate Circus count as trolling NPCs? I swear one of those motherfuckers was blocking the guy trying to replace the bell both times, the time Samson sends it flying and the time I sent it flying later on. And I wasn't enjoying waiting for it to move since the Circus lags anyway. There's also that one obnoxious trainer on Opal Bridge (the one with Treecko, Grovyle and Jigglypuff) that refuses to quit battling me that happens to be smack in the middle of my egg-hatching route. Thank goodness I usually bring Tauros with me when I go egg hatching anyway...

I think the best example of this I can offer is: Before I revamped my in-game team, half of them were part Poison type. And yet, somehow, none of them (Gengar, Roserade and Skuntank) could learn Sludge Wave... but my Swampert could.

Iirc you can breed Thunderbolt and Sludge Bomb onto it from some chain involving Stunfisk... uh, I guess Koffing/Grimer -> Stunfisk -> Gastly. And Gengar is a boss anyway, I don't know what you're on about. Sludge Wave is stupidly distributed I hate that move

The one behind Mr. Biggles is indeed a Dawn Stone. There are two Shiny Stones in the game, not counting the ones you can buy in the Department Store. One is hidden in a rock on Azurine Island and the other is on another rock in Citae Arc-d'Astrae. And you can't find them via mining- you can only find Fire, Leaf, Thunder, Water, Moon and Sun that way.

I so totally would do this. I'm not kidding. Dual Screens from Meowstic + Prankster Liepard disruption would be so much fun. And that's just accounting for those two. Then again I'd probably do a team of six Meowstic if I thought that didn't sound like a really bad idea so this can't be much of a surprise

Sableye is actually maybe your best bet with Prankster because Shade has all the good Ghost-types and is kind of going to wreck you. But if I can beat him with a team full of Psychic-types, Ghost-types can't be impossible... right? And I'd suggest something but I think I'm going to leave that last slot to Arkhi. Good luck~

Would pay money to see them interact. Both of them are their own personal, but admittedly awesome, brand of cray-cray. I definitely want to see Titania and Saphira meet as well. Or Titania and Lin, for that matter. Assuming they aren't already acquainted. Those three chicks are the only people in Reborn that scare me.

She does indeed have a Scyther, unfortunately... but you might want to make an exception because she's going to be nightmarish either way. Scyther might make her less nightmarish. Probably not, but maybe. Edit: Lol, Simon! My turn to ninja you, apparently.

Shelly has neither Butterfree nor Venomoth. Bennett has both (...I think), but you needn't worry about him right yet. So either or is fair game.

This is why we don't have Tentacruel yet, not because there aren't any water areas. Also I'd totally forgotten it could have Liquid Ooze... Have a Joltik. You can evolve it into Galvantula if you don't mind going one level over the cap to do so.

He doesn't have a Seviper, it's a-ok. It was Aya who had Seviper, but she doesn't anymore, either. Edit: And sadly he's always had a Grimer- you're gonna have to pick something else, Rose. >>

I don't think anyone knows what he has (I do, actually) in E12- his team changed a little. I don't want to spoil it, though, so I won't say anything- sorry if you end up with dupes. Have a Tentacool, and feel free to evolve it- level 30's within the cap.

There's a chance it'll be shiny, like with all trades, but it is not a guaranteed thing. Whether what you trade is shiny or not.

Fern is the one who uses Lombre, Rini- I mean, Florinia- definitely doesn't have one. So unless you care about Fern (beyond wanting to punch him in the face, I mean), Lombre is fine.

I got to kill the Emolga? Frick yeah, I hate those little Volt Switching fuckers. My pick: Tropius. Yep. Go put those bananas to use.

I've (temporarily) stolen said item as well, though not intentionally. Autumn is very grabby with his Magician ability. There's no way to see its graphic when a Pokemon is holding it, though, so... My best guess as to the pile of black shards... someone who was misfortunate enough to be stuck up on the wall above Luna (which is only normally accessible via Rock Climb) found something called a Dark Matter. Whatever it's for, if it's in the game, and intended to be obtainable at some point, I'd imagine it'd need a graphic. This is just idle speculation on my part, but of course.

Ah, you're playing an older episode... that would explain the Azurill without trading, actually. You can buy Persim Berries on the second floor of Obsidia's Department Store, iirc. If you want to try Bulk Up, give Combusken a Persim Berry and let it get set up- it'll snap out of confusion once, basically giving you a free pass. Getting set up is risky, but it can work in your favour, too. Plus the Defense boost from Bulk Up will help you stave off confusion damage a tiny bit, too.
