^Pretty much that. The ending was the only issue I had with 2003. The whole double dimension thing just popped out of the blue. I would have preferred things to just be wrapped up in the same universe that the rest of the series was set in. It was a mediocre end to an otherwise incredible series.

You guys do know that '03 was a weird made up story right? Brotherhood is the accurate representation made by the series Creator. This series is based on a manga. However the anime maker people got impatient and decided to make an anime series before the manga could even do anything at all. Like I said, Nostalgia Goggles.

As for the "Glazed over" comment, it was the other way around. '03 took what brotherhood had and made up more details to keep up a weekly release anime schedule. Technically speaking, Brotherhood came first.

Not thinking about coming back to Nations? Just even as a non committee?

I doubt I'll do so this season. Just not the time for that stuff personally lol.

Aww alright. Understood :]

wait...how'd you have a clefable at Solaris I? I thought that was a circus exclusive. Well, fair play either way, I'm kind of sick of Magnezone after using it all through reborn as well.

RE: Saphira: I'm gonna use Stealth Rocks, Noivern, Mega Scep, and the next three fastest dragons I can get my hands on. With that massive 2x field boost to dragon moves, and +1 spAtk from the seed, all that matters is outspeeding and OHKO-ing everything. Granted, with the boosted levels of leaders these days, I may need tailwind/webs to pull all that off, but it should be worth it to just ignore whatever nonsense she has planned.

For Saphira, my Walrein, Noivern, and hydreigon should get the job done.

It was an earlier version of Reborn, not the current one but I think I got it from a cleffa who IIRC was a possible reward for that sidequest in peridot ward. Now it's always igglybuff but before I think it could be cleffa or igglybuff.

EDIT: yeah just checked, back before 15 Cleffa was one of the options. I first played Reborn in version 14.

@Alistair

My issue with it is that 2 other bosses have it as a key member of their team.

What point is there to making it his ace when there's a perfectly good, completely unused Pokemon in Beartic that fulfils the exact same role? Beartic has higher attack, good bulk, great type coverage and Slush Rush on top.

Or why even have Walrein removed as his ace, it's perfect for him.

Cal getting a fighting type makes total sense since he's part of apophyll. I don't like him having Barbarcle though. Feels way too random and doesn't even serve him well for his fight.

I guess Blake getting water types to deal with Cal makes sense(despite already having walrein and another arguable reason walrein was a good fit for him) but Starmie seems really not suited to his personality. 

I'll disrespect Barbaracle the ugly mon as much as I damn please

Beartic doesn't particularly suit Blake. Yes, I hear the arguments as to why he shouldn't have Alolaslash, but I think this mon is a really, really good fit for Blake both visually and functionally. If anything, I'd remove it from Serra's team rather than Blake's. Alolaslash doesn't suit Serra at all.

I agree with Monochrome about Starmie. It's perhaps the one mon Blake has that feels too random.

A Fighting type for Cal is alright, but I don't see any reasons for Hakamo-o rather than... well, anything else. Felt like gen 7 shoehorning, when Cal already has Turtonator as a gen 7 Dragon.

Lol multiple walls of text over someone on the internet saying a bad word

meanwhile my neighborhood is being ripped apart by the wrath of nature

I don't consider myself Pewdiepie fan. I have watched some of his videos, but I don't actively follow his content.

What I aimed to do was to show you how the critique or, in this case slander, you apply on him can be applied on you just as easily. Calling people racist "POS" isn't going to stop racism, it's sort of a "crybully tactic".

As far as I know the (mainstream) media was rather interested in Pewdiepie when he made the "nazi joke". So it's not like the actions of public figures are ignored. Heck, some Youtubers have even been arrested based on the video evidence they themselves provided. Then there are people who raise awareness. Let's say someone is advocating for ban on whale-hunting. Does this person achieve their goal by yelling how whale-hunters are stupid a-holes?

You are correct on that judging serves a purpose in improving. However, that alone is not what fuels improvement or change. There's more to exchange of ideas than judging. Simply put, exchange of ideas and revolutionary inventions are means of improvement. I'm sure you're aware of this, but just to be sure:

"Earth is flat."  

"No it's not you idiot. Go in a hole and die."  vs.  "Actually, based on current evidence it's not flat at all. It's round."

The difference here is painfully obvious, but I'm merely providing an example.

Good for you for calling him out. With that said, I think your use of insults didn't do you any favors. It made you look like you decided to vent out in a fit of anger. There's a difference between arguing emotionally and emotional arguments (arguments based on emotion).

If someone is telling you the earth is flat in 2017 despite  widespread scientific evidence proving it's not, logic and understanding is not going to persuade them lol. They don't believe the world is flat because of scientific proof, they believe the world is flat DESPITE evidence of it not being so. The scientific facts are "wrong" and whatever little fantasy world they've created for themselves is what truly matters, and everyone else are just blind to the truth or whatever. There's a reason flat earth truthers often believe in other crazy conspiracies and have bizarre beliefs or political views. They're past the point where reasoning and logic is going to work, sad to say. 

A lot of racists still believe certain races are sub-human/don't have souls/whatever, despite scientific evidence showing otherwise(well not for souls of course lol, we don't even know if those exist!).  While some bigots can definitely be persuaded away from their beliefs, there's a slice who frankly don't care about any of that and from my experience dealing with them bigots think more emotionally anyway with the only "science" they're interested in being psuedoscience and statistics that support their worldview. You think those guys at charlottesville were willing to sit down and have nice long talk? Nah, they were very much racist POS(I surely hope you're not going to get at me for calling THOSE guys that lol) who frankly don't care about anything that doesn't support their own racist worldview. I feel you misjudge the importance of logic and knowledge in most people's everyday lives or worldviews.  Just look at the internet, access to information like never before in any point of history. You'd think we'd all be geniuses, but alas, we have people still believing in flat earths and social darwinism. 

Now I'm not equating Pdp to those charlootesville guys, at least he hasn't shown himself that level of depravity thus far, but am making the point that such beliefs and behavior cannot always be turned from via logic and reasoning  since they are at their basis counter logical in the first place. Pdp is a 27 year old, same age as me, he's well old enough to know that intentionally calling people *****rs(cuz he mad!) is a shitty, racist thing to do and knows very well he's going to be judged as a shitty, racist person because of it. Now from what he does here on is up to him, and being young he's got plenty of time to redeem himself, but as of now, I feel any "outrage" and criticism directed towards him is very well deserved, especially when you take him being a "face of youtube"  As for getting mad at him doing this, why exactly is this a bad thing? It seems pretty normal to get mad at someone being a racist(especially aggressively), and to somehow equate this  to being as bad as being racist itself or somehow looking bad itself seems rather silly. 

What gets me moreso than his actual act are the people trying to downplay it though(much like trump's supporters who tried to play down his blatantly  racist crap), or even worse defend it. It shows a complete lack of accountability and it's pretty pathetic that people in 2017 are going to try and justify a white guy angrily calling someone a fucking n*****r simply cuz he mad.   People have and are in  every right to get mad at him, call him a racist, a twat, an idiot, a buffoon, etc. He knows this, and what he does next or how he comes out of this will either prove them right even more or give him the opportunity to improve as a person and prove he's not the fool he's currently now.

Also, Eagle sucks your neighborhood is being torn apart, but like is the world gonna stop and nothing else matters now? Plus you know it's just not a bad word, shit is just a bad word, and had he called the guy  "a fucking shit" no one would care. You're definitely falling into the downplaying thing, though in your shoes I can see why it's not a big deal to you atm so I'm not as bothered as the ones in the paragraph above.

But no really man, hate that you're suffering through that storm. Nasty stuff, how long are you in the shelter? 

only once?

Brock, my man. I'm disapointed

Since there's only two episodes for them to appear... can't blame Brock.

brock had moments where he hit on one woman each episode, or multiple per episode. so...

Have it use Sludge Bomb in Colosseum...that's how those legs work.

They're literally back legs

WHAT THE VEGAN FUCKNUGGETS IS THAT

NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT. THIS DID NOT JUST HAPPEN.

Yeah, no, fuck it's confirmed real now. Hold me back.

lmaoooo

yeah. "crazy" is a hard character type to do well, especially since it's so subjective. compare Heath Ledger's Joker to Jared Leto's, or either of the two of them to borderlands-style crazy ie Kled from LoL or The Worm from warframe.

In his introduction scene, where everyone meets at sable's place, he mostly just came across as a jackass. I have to say, I like mercury way better as a "assassin with no respect for human life" just because of his pulp-fiction-esque intro with Emerald.

I prefer Qrow mostly because he annoys Goodwitch and Winter (and shows Weiss that she's not the first "Ice-Queen"

Weiss may be the Ice Queen to most, she's my Snow Angel

I just don't have the patience for it right now. Maybe if titania gives me too hard a time I will.

If you take a look in your graphics folder, you can see a solved puzzle under pictures --> Puzzles. You could argue that this is somewhat cheating, but seeing the completed picture helps immensely (unless you're already doing that).

I haven't looked at the picture since I wanted to try and figure it out legit but I'm too impatient right now haha. I'll just try again later.

It wouldn't really be useful vs Titania because it turns into a Steel move, which here would've won you the game pretty much. Shame about the Lilligant tho, imo it's by far one of the best Grass types you can have.

Ahhhh that's why, I didn't know it turned into a steel move.  

I struggled with xem a lot too. Thankfully, I was able to cheese the hell out of him with Destiny Bond Sharpedo to off Granbull and Quick Claw Reuniclus to set up Light Screen before promptly dying, then setting up with Shift Gear Klinklang and my Delphox to sweep. Mega Mawile was sent out before Whimsicott came out to use Tailwind and turn it into a Fairy Tale field, so Delphox took it down with one Flamethrower.

Looking at the wiki, it seems that the Z-Move user is her kingdra in Singles (Devastating Drake off of Dragon Pulse), and her blastoise in Doubles (All-Out Pummeling off of Aura Sphere). You can't even use your Dry Skin as an explanation!

...Said look also revealed that she uses the battle style opposite of what you tell her in the Reshiram Route, rather than just defaulting to Tsunami Mode Ultra. Welp, that's nice to know!

Ahhh okay. I used florges against kingdra so the only thing it could really do was inflict burn with scald lol. ice beam barely scratched her.

She's notorious for being one of the easiest bosses in the game.

But maman is the name of her adoptive mother, so it doesn't count. And I think Mosely is Italian cuz' of the name and cuz' she wear the same outfit of an italian orphelin child in America in the 40's.

I didn't know that was the person's actual name lol.  Okay that kind of works and it fits closer to kind of how I would envision her talking.

happy to help ya!!

Minior is just a wrecking ball.

Never had a problem with em, but I'm also usually already sweeping by the time one gets in.

ironically, as a character Taka is one of the most widely liked me thinks xD

I'll admit I just looked up how the puzzle was done, since the gauntlet had worn out my patience by that time......even with the dream(?) sequence and flashback as a bit of break between the two.

Reading music ain't my forte (heh), but I was able to figure it out on my own eventually. Definitely helps that they don't try to do anything particularly nuts... 

I was pretty tired already when I posted that as I had done the gauntlet AND solaris so I was quite thin on patience at that point, I'll try it for real tonight.  Hopefully I catch on as TBH part of my always wanted to learn.

FTR solaris wasn't that tough, as crygonal ripped gyrados and garchomp apart and tsreena handled tyranitar easy. Excadrill/staraptor/scizor were the biggest issues.  Had to use swampert to tank and Z-move star, had steelix  take out scizor as I had volcarona boxed, and donphan for excadrill. Solaris' team is so freakin tryhard lol. He just picked the coolest looking mons lol.

Jumpluff and Swift Swim-Ludicolo helped me in my monograss run. Especially if you EV trained beforehand. If you are set with your Oddish/Bellsprout movesets, don't forget the Leafstone you get right before Shelly. Victreebel's extra power helped me back then

I really want ludicolo(he was awesome in rejuv) but it has yet to rain in my game lol. Definitly picking him up when it does though, since I'm going to need a surfer anyway and I don't want to have a slot taken by like buizel.

I haven't done any proper EV training yet, I usually don't do that until after shade anyway.

Looks like RNGesus wasn't in your favour. It helped immensively and was easily one of my MVPs. I hope you get one soon

Exeggcute should be in headbuttable trees in Azurine if my memory serves me right. Mining could be an option for stones, but a bit tedious. Anyways, good luck~

Ahhh headbutting, of course I keep forgetting about that. But TBH I don't want to bother with exeggucute unless I can find another leaf stone.  Hopefully I'll find it by the time I get to samson.

Good Luck~

>may charlotte have mercy

Doubtful.

I never picked up petilil since I didn't really need her thus far and it's too late to get her ATM anyway since I'm in the circus arc but yeah she would've been a big help lol. Kind of regret not doing so before.

TBH I'm more concerned about ciel than charlotte, as I at least have ludicolo and rain dance for charlotte. 

Charlotte shouldn't be too difficult, I found her to be one of the easiest leaders in my Mono-Grass run, but I permanently changed the field in turn 1 and set rain afterwards. Paired with some Surf/Ancient Power boost for my Cradily plus Quick Claw luck pretty much destroyed her team. Ciel, however, was another experience and gave me major problems, but was still manageable in the end

70, Cinder raises it to 75

Your level can't go above 70 until you've defeated Charlotte. However, you can still challenge her with a team of level 70 Pokemon and increase your level during this fight as disobedience will only take effect when the battle will be over.

Thanks guys, I was able to beat her.

holy shit... humanity has lowered itself once more

video has been removed from pretty much everywhere unless youre really trying to find it, probably. so its safe to come out now.

my condolences to all people and families that have been caught up in this. this is inexcusable and disgusting.

My condolences to everyone affected by this heinous and despicable act. 

But now I updated it because of another new patch of the version.

oh so it works now?

Just try download.

Well now it's always set to rain during that fight so setting the field ablaze wasn't an option despite having Camerupt, plus it actually helped since it weakens Noel's hidden power. I didn't have anyone to use sludge wave so I figure it's better to use the grass field to my advantage.  Grass types are good in this fight now, just have something to deal with swellow. Sudowoodo handled him no problem.

Otherwise, if it were the case, for spoiler :

Oh yeah true, forgot about that lol.

I i'm not playing that much as I'm finishing up all sidequests in Uranium, Insurgence, and Rejuvenation.

But here is my Team:

Ooof jelly you were able to get the dragon eeveelution already. Mine is still an eevee in the box. 

Also despite what I said earlier I ended up getting Tangrowth lol.  It's funny because I clearly remember that Tagrowth/tangela being posted on Reddit some while back by an artist who I want to believe was one of the devs on the game in retrospect. In fact I think I commented on how its design was great but I felt like its stat changes were a bit awkward...which they still kinda are lol. Satwise it's worse than vanilla Tangrowth. Like sure it's a lot faster but at the loss of bulk and power, I don't feel it was worth it.

I should stop doing Nuzlockes; I always lose. Poor me and Pokemon Infinity.

i agree

There's one in a rock in the snowy cave (I don't remember what it's called, Ametrine?)on the bridge, and another inside a rock in North Obsidia.

pretty much what I'm going to have to do.

That's why I like to get cartridge versions if I can.

Yeah but I couldn't wait. It's fun at least.
