No Blake certainly knows the scope of what team meteor is doing, he just can't be bothered to care. He intended to starve an entire village on his own and does everything in its power to do so. For Fern , he also knows the gravity of the situation but that might be a spoiler. So I will ask you a question first before I write did you play or see a playthrough till the end of episode 15 where the main character beats Solaris' garchomp at the vulcano?

Lumi does it not for her, but for her sister. Lumi can't stand that her sister is again burdened by her. First the pulse machine she was despertly building for her, then getting kidnapped and now they share a body due to her illness, her weakness. That was how I tried to formulate it. It's not her body but Eve's body she cares about. If there was an oppurtunity to give either Eve or herelf a new body, I would believe she would give it to Eve. I also think that what you said about Eve and sacrificing the world for Lumi is also true for Lumi. I believe that Lumi while extremely troubled by the choice would eventually damn the world for her sister. Now for Eve I think: yes they know how Lin operates and what she does to her subordinates but she ran out of options. Evolution is still a relatively mysterious concept in the pkmn world. On top of that it was influenced by a PULSE so forget having a lot of research about this kind of concept. The other two bodies are also lost so Eve had at that point no options left, so imagine when Lin offers her way out. She would grab it with both hands tightly. Yes she my damn the rest of the world, but helping the world will not get Lumi in her own body. Lin might be a threat after or during the world alteration, but I think that Eve is confident that she is irreplaceable and that even after the world is altered she will stil be needed to mantain the Arceus PULSE (gods might have tricky side effects on pulse machines). So I think that she believes that she at all time has some bargaining power and for leaving her sister alone should be quite easy especially since Lumi is no threat what so ever. I do think that Lumi eventually would place her foot down for once with some external influence probably from Shelly. I mean she has read the dairy and there is a reason for that except putting some guilt into the player. Eve would most likely follow Lumi and sabotage team meteor in some way. I don't think that it would be in reborn city but it is possible. I'm also very happy with meeting Victoria again. I missed her character to be honest. Maybe we meet Terra in reborn again, she is somewhere in the internet and configuring herself to someone's computer should be easy for her. She could bargain her freedom for a lead to a new team meteor operation (see a bit below on my speculation). Zero can be both a grunt or an admin in my opinion. A grunt seems a bit unlikely since he was responsible for acquiring the pulse project which seems a bit too important for a grunt leading more towards an admin role. However you could always play the overzealous grunt aiming for a promotion situation card as an explanation for Zero's place as a grunt. Also I think you are spot on ZEL's dynamic though. To add on that if Zero was a grunt when the fusion happened, it wouldn't surprise me that ZEL isn't an admin but rather Eve is. Zero and especially Lumi would then become admin we association since it is to complicated to split their role. However by team meteor standards she would be the authorative figure. The last thing would be an attack on reborn city. I think it would be very likely for team meteor to attack reborn city, the attention is on Labradorra and reborn has become a symbol of hope when it was rebuild. Destroying it again would crus everyone's spirit for decades which would fit Solaris' agenda. I'm not familiar with reborn's timeline but it wouldn't surprise if there was PULSE underneath reborn city which caused the earthquake. Team meteor would then reinstall the PULSE with a new pkmn and cause a new earthquake. If there was no pulse invlolved they could simply place a new one and do the earthquake in the same fashion. Either way ZEL would be involved.

Interesting I consider ZEL most likely siding with Lin. ZEL has litlle problem with the ruthless and demanding nature of Lin because ZEL knows that Eve is invaluable due to be the PULSE. On top of that does Solaris ofer little to ZEL except a "small" amount of moralty. In fact Lin can (and probably did) offer something valuable to ZEL : three bodies. Lumi probably wants a new body . She believes that she's a constant burden to EVE and wants to rectifiy that but she can't do since she's sharing a body with her. Eve wants Lumi to be happy and healthy. Being a member of team meteor and being fused with two other people might not be what most consider happy. Being able to seperate from each other could be the only way to make Lumi tuly happy. Also what you claim to be "new world nonsense" is actually pretty believable by Eve and therefore Lumi. Eve strongly believes in the power of pkmn and PULSE since Eve tried to cure an uncurable disease using the power of pkmn and PULSE. What Lin suggest is using the power of what is considered the god pkmn. Amplifying that power with PULSE could create possibilities beyond Eve's imagination.

The growlithe at the police station can have close combat when you receive it.

That's true, that happened before she was taken away by Sigmund never to be seen again.

A bond can have many forms love is just one of them, a mutual desire for power and domination can from a strong bond as well. Pulse while strong come with severe downsides and will hinder her in the long run. The muk used couldn't sustain it shape for long and was close to dead. Also pulses machines aren't very mobile either. So I think a mega would suit her better. The charizard X is an option since noel as a gym leader, was allowed to use his clefable,so they aren't to severe on the monotyping.

Mine is a gastrodon, it walled a lot of stuff. It was the only reason I could be ciel's mega altaria by pp stalling. After that I would say it was my mismagius, the godslayer and humiliator of Bennet.

It is a point of no return. Also if you did the quest, you can always catch the ditto. Then train it up with audino's from the breeder (which give the right EV's btw) and copy the pkmn that gives you the best advantage like lanturn.

swirlix is available and can be found in route 2.

You don't miss the content, you just have to work for it a little: catch a venipede lvl it to lvl 40 and it learns rock climb naturally. Don't let it evolve though because then it needs to be lvl 50. Also the game allowed you to get with less effort a bit earlier. The event scolipede, which is part of the main story, has it. So catch that bug pkmn.

I'm pretty sure you have to talk a second time to trigger the 7th street dialogue.

Personnaly thinking about it for a while, HM's are an interesting aspect of the game. They make the player rethink and temporarely reform his team without forcing them to train up a new pkmn. A secondary action HM's do is to allow a player to appreciate pkmn that aren't appreciated for their battling prowes. Another thing is that HM are an important part of the narritive of the game. After all we are a game about pkmn so allowing pkmn to help you in your quest is good to give the player a feel of the world. They are also one of the few ways for a player's pkmn tointeract with the map. They also influence the narrative as the goal of a lot of "quests" is to hunt them down to advance forward into the world. Assigning them a to a more common item would downplay the importance of these quests. Finally it would make no sense: imagine Florinia running around with an axe on her as a teacher. So I think HM's are a good aspect of this game.

I can help with some pages as well but I'm busy with university.

That was quite overkill, maybe it would be to limit the power items to regular play or breeding only. Also congratulations on beating Shade.

As someone who has used both gulpin ,whismur,trubbish and even fenniken as well, I say you this: use the gulpin. Whismur was a complete dissapointment weak stats and weak moves. I was so fed up with it, I boxed it before I could evolve it to exploud. Gulpin on the other hand has a decent defensive stats and a good early game movepool. For the trubbish vs gulpin I actuallly used them both in the same run and they worked very well together. They fulfilled fundemantally different roles: trubbish was basically a suicide lead for toxic spikes, gulpin was actually a tank that could deal some decent damage over time. This gave them a nice synergy especially with double acid spray and fenneken could play a role in this as well. It actually cleans up poison and steel types which heavely resist these two mons. However if you only want one , I would suggest gulpin,trubbish' only advantage over gulpin is toxic spikes . Gulpin on the other hand is a bit stronger and evolves earlier which was very noticable,since I had to drag trubbish to gabrador while gulpin evolved just at the right time.

I think they were bought from the street by sigmund for basically food and shelter, I mean with such amount of poverty and unemployment in Reborn, it should be quite easy.

I can't help but think that the back and forth is a little bit too distracting but maybe that is just me. Also does this means that some movse will still not be animated at the release of episode 15 (since you finished all this episode's animations)?

magnezone looks like a good idea, bulky steel/electric type, special attacker. I can't say more since I have never used a magnezone to be honest so I can't give further insight. However it gives your team a big fighting type weakness 3 are super effective. The other three I would say meh, since they all are physical attackers and you have 3 of them already slot in and a support. In that case you might best keep swanna since it can keep the fighting types in check and gives you also a water pkmn and it is a special attacker as well.

It was a good read, it's strange that the association with shades gym and kiki's death isn't made yet (maybe next episode). I'm also curious about a little event yet to come, especially with how much guilt your character feels. Good luck with your run.

I think no guard would be cool, let it learn focus blast,zap cannon and blizzard and it can become a major threat. The only problem it has is 2 moves against shedinja: rock tomb and rock slide both physical.

It is pretty much guarantueed a Dimensional Regice. I mean look at the ruby and saphire pokedex entries. "REGICE’s body was made during an ice age. The deep-frozen body can’t be melted, even by fire. This POKéMON controls frigid air of minus 328 degrees F." "REGICE cloaks itself with frigid air of negative 328 degrees F. Things will freeze solid just by going near this POKéMON. Its icy body is so cold, it will not melt even if it is immersed in magma." The first entry describes pretty well how the houses are being frozen and the second one shows a lot of correlation with the dimensional rift.

Ok about that mismagius, get rid of the psybeam and make place for power gem (you will have to go the move relearner for that one), the difference between a super effective psybeam and a normal shadow ball is too small to be any usefull.

The power items do make it easier at first because you basically get free ev's at first. I experienced this as well and just like you it made me question wether or not it was fair. After a while that effect goes away because you reached your maximum ev stat total and then it basically becomes a part of your strategy. The game gives you many options to improve your strategy and some parts of this strategy invalidate some difficulty of the game. For instance is using boomburst in the glass field against Serra to break her entire strategy broken or clever? The same with setting Shelly's field on fire, the sheer diffculty removal that action does is staggering. Another strategic choice would be to run perish song/destiny bond against any pulse. What about about type advantage, my Mismagius swept Bennet before Luna with power gem alone. So if you use the entire toolset the game gives you, the game becomes a lot easier. But can you call it easier? You still use a lot of strategy, you just shifted some elements of your strategy around, in this case money management. The fact that you feel a lack of difficulty in some other parts is only natural.

It is in the blue building with the sign that has on it. It is located in the most north-east in the city, next to the name rater. So go from gearen labratory downwards, on the cross road to the left and then up and you will get there.

I remember my braixen surviving that entire fight, you just have to use it smartly (set the field ablaze). In fact it was so saddening how easy it made that entire fight.
