  1. Which battle? The regular one with the corrosive field, or the secret one with the corrosive mist?

    Honestly, I think that the battle in the corrosive mist field was a little easier, simply because I was able to blow away the mist at the start of the battle and didn't have to worry about any field effects during the battle.

    And as for save files, I did the main game once and now I'm doing a flying-type monotype run. It's harder than I thought it would be, but I think I like it so much because it's harder than the main games. Not that the main games aren't fun, but I really like fighting gym leaders and villainous team members that actually take me out the first couple of times I fight them.

  2. I'm not sure if it was him making you beg before he lets you out of the cage, his apathy towards Corey's suicide, or him mocking how traumatized Shelly was during his battle towards her that made me first realize that Fern was a heartless monster lacking even the most basic levels of human empathy, but either way I have to admit he's probably one of the few video game characters that I actually genuinely hate. Kudos to Ame for making such a good hate sink.

    My only complaint is that beating him never really feels satisfying. He just rationalizes away his loss every time, usually insulting you in the process. You never seem to really accomplish anything by beating him; he just continues to be a stuck-up sociopath. Deep down, I'm hoping for him to have a dramatic breakdown after his final defeat in which he realizes that you really are - and always have been - superior to him.

  3. Sorry to be a bother, but does anybody know whether or not the Old Amber is available through mining? I checked the item location guide, but it said it wasn't available; the item location guide can be a little faulty, though, so I just wanted to double-check.

  4. Let's see... for non-battle moments, I'd have to say:

    1) Anything related to Fern (I hope we eventually get to force-feed that stuck-up narcissistic jerk to a rabid Groudon)

    2) That giant boulder puzzle thing in the section of Byxbysion wastleland that's only accessible from Tanzan Mountain

    3) Going through the Magikarp event for the first time (It's the only thing you can get via old rod in the original games! Why is it so hard to get here?!)

    And for battle moments, I'd have to say...

    1) El's Pseudo-Arceus

    2) Shelly's Gym battle (seriously, she wiped the floor with me until I set the field on fire)

    3) Charolette's Gym battle (Everything dies with fire: The Gym battle)

    I don't really mind grinding; I mainly just move the game to the corner of my computer screen and watch Youtube videos while I grind. It's kind of relaxing, actually.

  5. I guess mine would have to be Meowth/Persian. I picked one up really early in the game, thinking that I might be able to get some quick cash by using Pay Day in the Agate Circus (this, of course, was before I knew how late in the game the Agate Circus was). It turned out to be surprisingly powerful once it evolved: it played a pivotal role in taking down Shade with its dark-type moves, and having it use Fake Out proved to seriously come in handy multiple times.

  6. Okay, I know this might be a stupid question, but I need a little help getting around.

    First of all, is there any way to get back to Reborn City after entering Agate City? I've got some unfinished business to do there, and I really hope that I can get back within the current episode.

    Secondly, where do you go after entering Charlotte's gym and talking to Charlotte and Laura? I get the feeling that the episode's not going to end until I defeat Charlotte, but I can't find her anywhere.

    Any help I could get would be appreciated!

  7. So, I could use a little help: am I supposed to actually defeat El? His battle seems a lot like the first battle with Solaris: one really powerful, overleveled Pokémon that can sweep your team with barely any effort and heal off any damage it might take. And yet, when I lost the battle with it I blacked out instead of a cutscene playing. Was this a fake-out, or do I really have to beat him? And if I do have to beat him, are there any tips anybody could give me for taking him out? Any help I could get would be appreciated!

  8. Hey! If it's not too much to ask of, I'd like to know if somebody could give me some tips for getting through the third gym (the real third gym, not Corey's bait-and-switch gym). My team keeps getting sweeped by her starting 'mons; I haven't even survived long enough to see her Volbeat. Are there any Pokémon, items, or strategies that I could use to make the fight a little easier? Any advice you could give would be welcome!
