Foamy

Where's the Mega Stone (sub)section?

Strength is HM04 in the main series. What game have you been playing all this time?

Mega Latios and Mega Latias aren't that bad. I'd be much more afraid of Soul Dew.

Yessssss dew it

"I don't care if the victory is completely hollow and devoid of any feeling of accomplishment, I just wanna win!" But hey, that's fine. More power to ya, friend!

I'll admit that Ciel wasn't SUPER easy. Although I won on my first try, it was still close. The main thing that tipped the scales in my favor was the crummy AI, since her Noivern would use Heat Wave against my Archeops instead of Boomburst or a Dragon-type move, and her Talonflame (assuming it has Gale Wings) refused to use Brave Bird against said Archeops. I can't wait until the AI gets fixed up.

Blaziken was underwhelming in Gen 3 for a variety of reasons. There was no physical/special split, so one of its STABs was physical while the other was special. It lacked a good Fighting STAB, it had no way to boost its Speed outside of Endure + Salac Berry, and it didn't have the bulk to serve any purpose other than a sweeper, wallbreaker, or revenge killer (all of which are hampered by the aforementioned inability to raise its Speed). You meant High Jump Kick, right? Blaziken could never learn Close Combat.

Why should that have any influence on whether or not it's your favorite starter? Blaziken has been my favorite starter since Ruby and Sapphire first came out, and receiving Speed Boost didn't change that. Saying "I used to like this until it became popular, now I don't like it anymore" is hipster thinking, bruh

This guy's right. To call Blaziken "overrated" would imply that it isn't as strong as people believe it to be, which it completely is.

Again, I don't think it's unreasonable to separate the player's gameplay time from the canonical timeframe in which the plot progresses. For example, the player spends two weeks grinding up the aforementioned new rotation for Charlotte, but as far as the story is concerned, it's still only been a couple of days since Amaria and Titania jumped down the Cascade.

Since we're returning to the city in Episode 16, maybe we'll get new Craudburry side quests! Boy howdy, that'll be fun.

Huh, okay. Which storyline choices would affect the pace at which the timeline proceeds? Forgive me if I don't fully understand, but is it not okay to have a single correct, "canon" interpretation?

I really hope that Ame releases an official "Pokémon Reborn Event Timeline" thread. That would put so many questions to rest. So many.

HELLO? Do you not play this game? Have you not seen the destruction wrought by a Sun-boosted Fire Blast from a base 159 Special Attack? Mega-Y is amazing. It's in OU for a reason, bruh

Probably because he wasn't sorry for killing the Medicham? Shruuuuuuuug The more probable explanation is that Medicham wasn't important enough to anyone other than Kiki to warrant an apology to other characters. "Hey, sorry for killing your friend's Pokémon." "Why are you apologizing to me? It wasn't mine." You're free to have your own opinion, but please try to ensure that the basis of said opinion is rooted in reality. His apology was genuine. Not apologizing for Medicham's death doesn't change that (more-than-probable) fact. Cal allied himself with Team Meteor before going to Apophyll Academy. If he hadn't helped Meteor, he probably wouldn't have even been on top of Pyrous Mountain in the first place.

This question has been asked countless times since Megas were first introduced, and the answer has remained the same.

How do you know whether or not his apology was genuine? His actions are speaking for him, and his actions firmly say, "I have seen the error of my ways, I will do what I can to rectify the mistakes I've made, and I'm going to do what's morally sound, as opposed to doing what will let me best my brother." You're letting your first impression get the better of you. Contrary to popular belief, people can actually *gasp* learn from their mistakes and grow as a person! I know, shocking, right? He didn't dye his hair blue, either. He dyed it red. Blue is his natural hair color.

Oh, was that the "Broken Doll" track?

In other news, the sky is blue and Earth continues to revolve around the sun.

PULSE AND Mega? Yeah, right.

Do people seriously not know how Counter works? The damage that Counter deals is based on the amount of HP you lose, not the percentage of HP you lose. As Vinny demonstrated, a Focus Sashed Level 1 Wobbuffet won't OHKO a Garchomp just because it lost all but 1 of its 14 HP.

I thought the theoretical PULSE Shedinja in question had Sturdy?

Hey, that's cool! Is there anything about ZEL that isn't represented in the game that you can tell us~?

This is the exact reason why I brought it up.

And yet we worry so often about making the wrong choices throughout the story, hue
