This seems really cool, and I'm excited to see the new megas. Will there be 300 mega stones throughout the map or will they be bought? Online battling and multiple saves...wow. So for auto saves...would this prevent soft reseting, or will the autosave be optional? It sounds like a tremendous amount of work. So what sort of things will the AI do? predict a switch into a ghost type, and not use Hi Jump Kick? The first thing I think of when you mention "rifts" is the distortion world. Will there be anything similar?

I only brought up Switzerland to show that there are cases where widespread gun ownership works reasonable well. I agree that this is not a valid reason for indiscriminate gun ownership in the United States. I think stricter control is necessary, seeing as one argument is that we don't think laws will stop people from obtaining guns, so we shouldn't have them. I don't think that the belief that a law won't work should be enough to stop people and governments from attempting it. As an aside, at the moment, background checks are required. However, these are very basic: http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/19/news/guns-background-checks/ I don't know how this can be remedied. A psychological examination? Or just better investigative processes?

This is a divisive topic. The reasons for gun restriction and the reasons for allowing ownership are all valid. I think the main arguments for low restriction gun ownership are protecting the people you care about, dissuading government control, and because of the constitution. Some people have said that the constitution shouldn't apply because it is outdated, or just plain wrong. I don't agree that it is wrong. The constitution gives a completely valid reason for owning a firearm: a well regulated militia. Switzerland is one of the only countries today with a militia, and it has gone well for them. They have one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world, and one of the lowest gun-related crime rates worldwide. The government issues weapons, and trains people in their use. This works because everyone has weapons. However, I don't think this would work in the United States. For one, we're not a very cohesive population. There are too many difference that cause hatred. Switzerland is a small enough country that they can be considered a nation-state (when the nation(culture, language, religion) coincides with the boundaries of the country), and there is less tension. I don't know how well a non lethal self-defense weapon would be. I think fear of death is the big thing that could prevent other violent crimes. We already have things like tazers and these:http://gizmodo.com/this-clip-on-handgun-attachment-makes-bullets-non-letha-1730039256 but not much has changed. I don't know what a solution could be, but these are my thoughts.

Most of these reasons apply to a lot of animals

This looks fun. I'm not sure if I would go for it, but tell me how it goes for you. i.e. difficulty of qym battles, balance, and that sort of thing. See if it seems more powerful than other starters. That sort of thing.

I've thought about this before too. It always seemed to simple in my opinion. If there was such an easy way to make money, people would have discovered it. I'm not sure how much they charge, but I'm pretty sure that PayPal charges fees for currency exchange. Though I don't ever propose using wikihow as your primary source of information for something risky, here's a page explaining some of the basics. http://www.wikihow.com/Buy-and-Sell-Currency
