    Gen3 MonoGen Challenge - "Home, Sweet Hoenn"

    Hopefully she doesn't try to impede my progress.

    *sarcastic smile*

    Is this...is this guy talking to me?

    Yes. Yes, he is. :lol:

    I like the way you've written the story because I feel it reflects the early game atmosphere: criminal activity, poor neighborhood, the necessity of earning respect etc etc. and then there's the contrast with the budding tenderness between you and your partner. By the way, what's his nature? (From the description of his personality I'd think Jolly or Relaxed. But maybe the two are completely unrelated.)

    Unique Trainer Tendencies

    Kanto: Bulbasaur.

    Johto: Totodile.

    Hoenn: Mudkip.

    Sinnoh: Chimchar, but a tough choice. My favorite generation as far as starters go.

    Unova: My least favorite generation as far as starters go :P I wouldn't say I prefer any of them to the others.

    Kalos: Haven't played the game. But I did use a Protean Froakie in Reborn, so I guess I'll go with that.

    Other stuff:

    Edit: OH GOSH THIS IS LONGER THAN I THOUGHT ^_^

    - I wouldn't expect anyone to understand, but I love diving. Yeah, that thing with the stupid HM. I hope the HM gets better, and I hope Ame gives us diving missions. Undersea bases, hidden treasures. That sort of stuff. SO MUCH POTENTIAL. I distinctly remember the first time I dived in Emerald, and I thought it was like entering some sort of temple. Everything so calm and peaceful, almost mystical. Another world, guarding its secrets for centuries, unseen by most. People living and dying for entire generations, not even suspecting that it exists. And you're entering it. COME ON, BE EXCITED.

    Or not, whatever. Like I said, I wouldn't expect people to understand.

    - I ususally give nicknames, which are usually stupid. But occasionally they're thoughtful and well-researched. I can't not give nicknames. I mean, can you imagine Aragorn of LOTR sending the squad in battle and going "Go! Hobbit!" or "I chose you, elf!"

    - I used to use (...) HM slaves, but lately I prefer carrying as many HMs as possible, for the sake of exploration as someone put it. Deleters/relearners are a thing, so it's not as binding as in earlier games.

    - I change my opinion all the time regarding my favorite region, but right now it's a tie between Hoenn and Unova.

    - I stole the Berry Master's garden to grow my own crops.

    - My favorite facility is the PWT, but the others are cool too.

    - I suck at gen 3 and 4 biking. Seriously, I couldn't get my fossil, and I only managed to get Eartquake once. By luck, I'm sure. Or maybe the fairies did it. You know that last ledge between the player and the TM? I hate that ledge. I swear there's some trollish algorithm in that ledge whose sole purpose is to mess with the player. OK I'm done.

    - I don't think I have an affinity for any particular type. If I had to chose, I'd probably say water. But that may be because you always have to use Surf. For some reason, I very rarely have Dark or Ghost types in my final team, despite the fact that some of my favorite Pokemon belong to these types. It might be because they appear later in the game. Or in the case of Ghosts, because they're rare.

    (Reborn is an exception, seeing as I have to use literally everything and my team changes literally all the time. Also I have a shiny Cofagrigus, squee yeah I know nobody cares whatever.)

    - I know EVs/IVs/natures don't matter in a normal run. I'll still do stupid stuff like "oh, a Magnezone? Let's not send Donphan against it, since it gives Special Attack. Let's send my *insert worse choice here*." Or I'll have a fit like "Torchic doesn't have enough speed, let's spend some time listening to music and killing Zigzagoons." I won't really EV train, but I can't completely ignore EVs. I just can't.

    - Legendaries... I usually catch them and box them. I don't know why. I'm not ideologically opposed to using them or whatever. I think it's just, by the time I catch them, my team is already formed.

    - I'm not a shiny hunter, but I will catch them if I find them.

    Will update if I think of anything else. Edit: BECAUSE THIS POST TOTALLY NEEDS TO BE LONGER :rolleyes: Yeah, anyway.

    A pokemon that carries your team through battles

    in Reborn City

    Hey there, I started a new playthrough in Ep 13 because I wanted to explore the new features and everything. I went out of my way to obtain Drought Vulpix and it's been surprisingly helpful. I wouldn't say it's carried me through everything; that would be a hyperbole, nothing can carry you through everything. But it's been far more useful than I expected. It greatly weakened Plusles by destroying grass field with Flame Burst. It also destroyed Corey's corrosive mist (OK, got KO'd in the process, but still). Weakened Shelly's lead Masquerain and obviously dealt great damage to her team. As a Ninetales, negated Hail in the Ice gym, which is almost a necessity. Also, Will-o-Wisps everywhere... and Drought-boosted Flamethrowers, obviously. It's one of my favorite team members now. And I've literally never used Ninetales before.
