I'm somewhat sure that Orderly John was one of the orderlies in the orphanage... And if he was Radomus the whole time that would be certainly very interesting.
In that cave entrance that becomes accessible via the pipes you can get an Upgrade. I'm 99% sure metal coat is in one of the alcoves where you talk to Saphira who's deep in the pit.
Honestly that's not even needed, I threw out 4/6 of my team and replaced them for E15 and none in my team were even EV trained. Gliscor was probably the biggest threat.
It's technically up to you. When I did my steel mono I didn't wanna play through the electric gym leader with Piplup only so I used the Litleo (l.15 instead of 17 for bidoof, its faster) to headbutt me a Pineco.
In regards to everything else, I'm still working on fixing the guide to E15 and finishing the -> Serra section.
In E15
As you might or might not be aware, there is a waterfall that is visible but (as far as I know) impassable in Ametrine Mt. Visible on all floors from B2F-5F, this seems to be a giant waterfall stemming from the root of the mountain. Does anyone know if we can access this massive waterfall or not? Oh and where do we get Lapras?
I was so sure that we weren't gonna be quite able to fly just yet
Those battles with meteor admins were definitely intense, I enjoyed them a lot.
Ciel seemed REALLY easy but maybe that's just me.
For fairy it's really up to you. You can get a starter and use it until you get Igglybuff/Cleffa, or you can hack in a starter. If you don't want to go through that trouble you could use your starter and Igglybuff/Cleffa for Julia, then get Snubbull and ditch the starter.
Something that struck me when I was playing my 4th run was that, when I picked the events that lead to Saphira being captured, Laura didn't kill any guards in Tanzan nor destroyed the gates to get in. Something about how you actually can save a few lives via this story split was very interesting to me.
I like Agate Circus the most, its so fun and the Sinnoh Game Corner remix is pretty great in the background.
I can't stand Byxbysion wasteland, just because of how challenging it is to maneuver, and also all of the damn Venipedes everywhere.
My reactions to this trailer thingie:
Positive:
1. There's a large array of starters available again
2. We can catch ALL the Pokemon again!
3. The town area looks massive
4. Cofagrigus is back, hopefully GLORIOUS GOLD
5. Lots of legendaries have text, meaning that there will likely be a plot better than GtI
6. Are the dungeons back to REKTANGULAR ROOMS...?!?!!!!!111!?
Negative:
1. Doesn't look like the starters are picked via test
2. The god-awful art style within the dungeons is gonna be used again
3. It "maintains the legendary pokemon from the previous title? Does that mean only Virizion and Kyurem doing anything?
