On AlphaSapphire, I have a Skarmory called Levi, and an Altaria named Swiffer. Love it when they team up. White 2 has Crystalisk the Gigalith, and Mordecai the Braviary. Too bad Braviary is always male, I'd have loved a female called Bloodwing. I was also amused to have named my Reborn Scolipede Caine (well, she's female) only to learn that Shelly had the same idea. And Eve the Espeon from my X save file is pretty awesome in hindsight.

Sshhhhh, what a ridiculous accusation. I also most definitely did not cry at any point. Ask Shelly, she'd know. It was just, uh... rain. On my face. I get that a lot. Funny, huh? ;_; On a different note, Nature Power becoming Judgment might just motivate me to train my Sawsbuck again...

I am genuinely terrified. Though I guess it's nice that Psychic attacks get boosted while Dark attacks decrease in power; not gonna complain about anything that helps my Espeon. Still, the prospect of possibly fighting Dittoceus again on this or something... Welp. I don't really like having to resort to Destiny Bond/Perish Song :c Also; Thanks, I wasn't already questioning this enough so far~ Shush don't look at me, I get really deep into the roleplaying aspects of games and my feelings are fragile.

I've had this on my mind since the moment he started making trouble. I feel bad for Serra :c But at the same time, I'm not sure if she'll have much of a reaction to this. We know she gave up everything for her son, and even though she keeps bringing that up as a complaint, sorta, it does imply how much she loves him. She might just decide that the only thing that matters in the end is that he's happy, no matter what happened in between. It's not like she has much more left to care about, apparently... Makes me wonder what would happen if Florinia and Eve interact. They kinda strike me as two sides of the same coin.

Your signature? *tilts head* Also, I believe I did admit to having lurked the forums before I registered. I'm not a spy, you've got to believe me and I feel ridiculously awkward now hhh I'm sorry ;_;

Well, Thunder has always been a lil bit of a misnomer for the move, since it is merely the sound that's caused by lightning. The move's descriptions do refer to the target being struck by a lightning bolt/thunder bolt, though, so yeah, whatevs. I'll be glad I have some Eletric-resistant team members. That Thunder accuracy is frightening, especially since the attack gets boosted power on the mountain field. Sounds like a great environment for Mamoswine though.

Awwyeah, power to the Flying types! They tend to be on the bad side of the deal with rocky environments, so it's cool to see their moves powered up on the new fields. And as for familiar faces, I hope that means we get to see Florinia again <3 She's one of my favourites and really deserves a comeback. Vinny freakout also confirmed~

somanycutepeople The non-shaved hair hasn't been cut in... a while. Last September vs. last month, oops.

There's situations when it is appropriate to criticize someone's diet, and there isn't. Ranting at your child for preferring white bread over whole-grain when, less than half a year ago, they refused to eat more than what was needed to prevent fainting, is definitely the latter. So how about I eat what I want, and you mind your own business? Especially if you start complaining about me being underweight in the next breath.

Solaris and Lin may both want the player dead, but if it's more efficient, I think neither would be above using them for their gain if the opportunity presents itself. They pride themselves on being clever, after all. They could always kill us later. Or so they think. The thought of teaming up with Solaris is hilarious and unsettling at the same time. Player may as well walk backwards for all the times they'll watch their back. Though I'm not sure how high the chance of that happening would actually be... I'm a bit torn regarding the Solaris-Lin-conflict. Both of them are responsible for nasty things, and neither of them are particularly charming characters. The game seems to steer us into the direction of dealing with the mystery surrounding Lin first, but taking her out probably won't stop Team Meteor from being a threat. Gimme a team-up with ZEL. The dialogues would be priceless.

whispers Teaming up for battle with a Meteor member has been my secret wish for a whole while now. Dunno, I have a thing for plots where you have to help out the villains to get something done. And it's not like they are above asking you. If Zero and Eve can (well, yes, okay, Zero kinda needs to practise this whole "ask" thing), Taka might as well. That said, I like your predictions. Never really thought about realistic passage of time, to be honest. It never seems to matter much in the official games, so I brushed it aside.

1. Some Pokemon aren't available to us or were removed because they were considered gamebreakers, either because they generally are extremely powerful, or too strong for the parts of the game where they used to be available. (Apparently this was the case for Gyarados, from what I've gathered? Don't hurt me if I'm wrong, I haven't been stalking here that long D:) 2. Besides what Generalguy said, everything essential, including common candies and ability capsules, can also be purchased from vendors at the Agate Circus once you get there. Won't be relevant to you for a while, but it will be later.

Possible. But I've been under the impression that Team Meteor do their damndest to make sure things get progressively worse in Reborn, so it'd be almost a waste of opportunities to do nothing more with the treatment center than to merely stop it from working. Making it work as the opposite of what it's supposed to do seems more beneficial. While it certainly doesn't have to be a PULSE, I'd be surprised if they didn't try anything destructive. It's just that so far, PULSE seems like their default way to go. ...Of course, they might also be shifting towards maintaining the current state and instead focus on other missions, most especially obtaining the sapphire key. It's fun to think about what might be encountered c:

Muk sounds like a plausible guess, but I'd really like to fight something else this time. I like seeing all the different things that happen to PULSE Pokemon (well, no, I don't, but... y'know...), so it'd excite me more to see another Pokemon. (That's not saying a new PULSE Muk couldn't be different from the last one. That's obviously an option, too.) I wonder if it'd be making use of that new toxic water field we've been shown. Considering it's the sewers, wh y not.

>tfw you find a shiny female Meditite in AS and want to name it Kiki, only to have the game tell you that "You can't enter that!" *soft grumbles* Named her Victoria instead. That's appropriate, too, me thinks.

I knew I couldn't be alone in shipping those two. Feels a bit strange seeing her looking this cute; I'd have expected that of Laura rather than her. But hey, she's pretty~ sinks back into the shadows and waits for Meteor wallpapers to turn up

plot twist: It was Steven all along. Gotta have that meteor for his collection.

Sounds like a valid question to me. Considering Team Meteor went through all the effort of bringing down Reborn's economical structure, one would wonder why Devon are still doing fine from the looks of it. There's got to be some reason they either haven't been targeted yet, or couldn't be harmed. Though I doubt we're gonna get any answers to that any time soon. As far as previews of new content go, the info on the new field effect sounds awesome, but I've never been a person to actively crave spoilers. The numbers are fine, and informative enough for me personally.

Friggin' Noctowl. When I started playing the game, I thought I'd throw it out of my team pretty quickly, and a friend wondered why I even bothered at all. Then it took down Tangrowth. And Cradily. And delivered the killing hit against Arceus. Not to mention the various smaller victories it secured for me. Sometimes I have moments where I consider boxing the poor fella, but he always makes up for his flaws. Always. Reliable? Not so much. Lifesaver? Hell yeah. All of my 'mons have their shining moments, of course. Arcanine for Steelix and Abra. Klinklang for Aya's and Radomus' teams, and a considerable part of the battle against Pseudoceus. Samurott versus Cal. But thing is, I expected them to be useful. Noctowl? Wouldn't have predicted it.

Oh, it's by far not my number one interest any more, that's not it. I do wish I'd be better at it than I am, at least as far as natural talent goes, but overall, my interests have shifted as I grew up. I don't know what my top choice would be if I hadn't made those negative experiences with science in school, but over the course of the last years, I've come to realize that I'm more passionate about teaching/passing on knowledge, than being the one to discover it first. That's not to say the two are mutually exclusive, because they sure as hell aren't. If I weren't still vividly interested in those things, I wouldn't have bothered listing them. Because science is cool, yo! I've had a really awesome teacher once, who, even though he only taught the class I was in for a year, is probably one of my biggest rolemodels. He proved to me that the combination of being passionate about writing/language and teaching can be the greatest thing, because if you know how to talk, you can get people to listen to anything you have to say. On the flip side, this is how Pokemon villains work. Throws me right back to the moment where Solaris said a line that I've said myself once. That, and there's my former German teacher, who I'll assume is secretly Minerva McGonagall.

That would be wonderful, yes <3 I tried signing up as Ama first, but for some reson I didn't get the mail. Should be easy enough to check; I'm using the same name (Amadun) for both of my mail addresses; only difference is the provider. I thought I'd be clever using the GMX one instead of Outlook, since it's usually Outlook that gives me problems, but in this case it was the opposite, it seems. So yeah, it'd be neat if I could have the name. Thank you!~ Edit: Many thanks indeed!

The sad thing is, I'm not actually as talented at (most fields of) science as I wish I was. I've always had a HUGE interest in biology right from my Kindergarten days on, and when I was younger I insisted I'd be a biologist one day. But the truth is, I don't have it in me. I tried, but it simply isn't within my area of talents. I can memorize certain information, sure, but for example, genetics is the one and only thing that actually earned me a 6 F in school. I somehow managed to get acceptable marks, but my childhood dreams have been permanently shattered. But I do love nature, yes <3 Damn, my secret is out. I actually did have a giggle at that when I started the game. And then again because Amalia...Amaria... I'm not sure if he has an account here; I don't think so, but I'll be sure to ask him when he gets his Aussie ass out of bed. Dewgong is the newest addition to my team. To be honest I just kinda train pokemon that I like a lot and then hope it'll work out. Like I mentioned, I've never even come close to trying my hand at anything resembling competitive play, so I'm utterly clueless about good strategic match-ups. Somehow, it works out well enough to get me through the game, though. We'll see about that Dewgong. I used Samurott before (and am still regretting that I didn't choose Mudkip), but it didn't perform all that well in comparison to the rest of the team. I could probably improve a lot if I put some effort into learning more about teambuilding, and have a feeling I will have to, sooner or later. But for now, it's literally just "win it with your faves, or go down trying". Anyway, thanks to everyone for the welcome <3 I do hope it's a permanent stay. I'm always a little hahaha nervous when it comes to finding my way into a new community, confidence issues and all. But I've been stalking the forums a bit before, and it seems comfy~ Soo, if I'm gonna have to save up some cash to change my name, guess that's what I'll do. I'm not unhappy as it is now, so it'll do.
