Ice Cream Sand Witch

TIL if you hurt yourself in confusion and the opponent uses Copycat, they'll use a move of their own on themselves.

All Dimensional Rift battles have been just against the DR Pokemon and not on trainer teams, so I think she won't need to replace any Pokemon. It might be like Zetta and the Gyarados where we fight her first and then the Regice.

I'd love this because sometimes I get random urges to replay a game and start over regardless of what I've done on my current file. So this means I've erased several shinies ;~;

WOAH, that screenshot with Angie is amazing! Guess I'll be starting a new file again for V8. I assumed it was Cera with a redone sprite (as her sprite before was just a red version of the normal maids' outfit).

You could also get contacts to change your eye color. An NPC in Lumiose's PR video building gave you a contact case.

The wild Pokemon music sounds like a mix of Hoenn's wild Pokemon music, Unova's wild Pokemon music, and Unova's Gym Leader music.

IIRC, if you've already visited the room with the barricade that's when you can't do the event anymore.

I don't think Amaria will really have any role in the game besides being a league scout/representative. I didn't really take that scene completely seriously, just like Venam and Amber's arguments are exaggerated. The shadows are Betrayal (Ren), Obsession, Greed, and Raw Evil. I don't think her blaming the pc the gym leaders being busy fits any of those traits, I just think if she is serious than she jumps to conclusions too easily. Also she only appears there if you've done the Odd Key sidequest causing Narcissa to suspend her leader duties.

Holy shit, that animation is awesome.

Wait, weren't we supposed to be doing the thing where we put new information in spoilers for those who don't want to be spoiled?

I was above the PULSE Swalot and even if I didn't have to deal with disobedience sometimes it'd probably still take out a good number of my team.

For the land upgrading, you just exit the camp and then re-enter. All of them are on the mainland IIRC.

There's 9 as of right now.

I think it'd be better if the poll was multiple choice since some people have a few favorite types. For me it's currently a four way tie between Electric, Fairy, Water, and Psychic. Electric has my favorite Pokemon, Ampharos. Besides that I guess they're mostly my favorite types for aesthetic reasons.

There should be a Water type deer called Raindeer.

If you talk to the machine outside the arena that the gym guide has been replaced with, Ame says she didn't know Sigmund wasn't letting Noel battle and that she'd have to talk to him about it because it wasn't part of the deal.

How about a Water/Poison blue-ringed octopus?

The NPC says that she just turned 10.

Pokemon that use diseases as a defense mechanism would be Poison, I think. Also Deoxys's lore says that it was a space virus that turned into a Pokemon after being exposed to a laser beam (which in ORAS was revealed as AZ's ultimate weapon).

Heather is 10 though (not sure why everyone's saying she's 9?), and what you described sounds more like a 4 or 5 year old to me. Someone Heather's age should be able to understand type effectiveness, status conditions, and abilities at least, I think. Plus like I mentioned, she could've learned from watching Corey's battles (and Shelly too, since I just remembered they're friends). My body and mind literally stopped developing as a kid, so I'm not much older than Heather. But I've beaten Whitney's Miltank without much trouble by using strategy and got all the silver symbols in Emerald's Battle Frontier. This I agree with. I think it was like that for Charlotte too, and Fern is the backup for Florinia. I think backups/next in line shouldn't automatically go to family if there's someone known about that's better than them.

I don't get why her being 10 would make it impossible for her to be Elite 4 level. I think what would be more confusing is her being E4 despite how sheltered she was by Corey. Corey never really let her go anywhere or do anything. I doubt she was allowed to just train whenever she wanted, and she said Corey didn't let her battle him. My best explanation for that is that if she inherited her mom's Pokemon, they would already be extremely powerful by default given they were owned and raised by an E4. Someone who's never battled before could be given a Master Ball and catch a legendary with it, and they'd beat most Gym Leaders even though they have no experience because what they're using is that strong. Furthermore her team is hyper-offense so it's not like she's a genius strategist, she just has the power to tear through almost anything. But she might have watched Corey's battles and learned from those too. It's been said by a few NPCs in the main series that age has nothing to do with battling. One in particular I remember was an ace trainer on the route before Veilstone in DPPt who said things like age and gender are meaningless in Pokemon battles. If it did, the player characters wouldn't be able to beat people like Pryce, Wattson, and Agatha.

Oh, I just thought of something while thinking about how Reborn will be reborn in E16. Adrienn is the spearheader of the #makereborngreatagain project in-game. From my understanding, Gen 6 where Adrienn's type was introduced came out while Reborn was in episode 10, and the entire story had been planned out since episode 3. So if Fairy type weren't introduced, Adrienn wouldn't have taken the spot online or existed in-game. Before episode 10, who was originally going to be in charge of cleaning up and remodeling the city, or was it going to be a general community project?
