I thought/remembered the transformations being more of a Magical Girl style, not a Power Rangers style... good work, either way!

Well, it's good to see that progress is ongoing! And yessss... go full Genocide Route on the difficulty if somebody does Renegade. It should not be easy if somebody wants to destroy the world.

Novae has art! That's great - she's good people. Mr. Luck has art too - yeah. I remembered how he was the one who left Gardevoir (at the time a Ralts) behind... so yeah, he definitely has some importance, to say the least. As for Spacea and Tiempa - well, I was thinking of White Diamond and Pink Diamond when I looked at them, to be blunt.

Amaria is currently diving in the maze, I believe. You need to find her and talk to her a few times - when you enter a room and the floor/lighting is changing color, she's in that room.

Minor problem, it seems that Shelly doesn't have a specific theme now. Or at least, it doesn't say she has one.

You know, you can literally start a poll, right? You don't have to just have people reply. (I vote for Lucia, with that said, though).

I think - some of the boss battles should be removed, personally? The Puppet Master was a great fight, in my opinion, but some of the other fights were better off without the "Max Raid" mechanics (and shields potentially needing multiple hits to break was a decision that gave me a lot of a headaches). Galvantula worked better off with those Joltik, in my opinion, and so does Gardevoir - I don't remember all of the Rift pokemon, but I do think some of them just worked out better the way they were before, but some of them are better the way they are now. I think - well, I don't think you should remove the mechanics for boss battles entirely. Some of the bosses were great with shields, some weren't? Er - yeah. I guess you should just play it by ear. Maybe start a poll to see what bosses people think should keep the shields mechanic and which bosses shouldn't?

Oops. My bad...

Okay, so I was remembering right... yeah. Not sure when that happened, but it's definitely a bug of some type...

Whoops. Just grounded pokemon, my bad...

I was fighting the Anomaly Jirachi fight in the postgame, and the Starmie afflicted my Togekiss with Toxic, even though, well, it shouldn't be able to do that on the Misty Terrain. At least, according to my last understanding of the situation, that's how it works...

Did I just remember the whole thing wrong? Huh. That could be it...

Hey, Scarborough the Sylveon is supposed to be a guy, right? Because I pulled him (now a her?) out of my PC, and well... considering Edie's treatment of her, I don't think he's transgender. Is this a bug, or something?

Honestly? I'm half-certain that Ame and the others deliberately made the Elite Four... mostly not too hard? Looking at the victory rates they had - they're all good, but they all looked kind of unimpressive compared to the higher-level Gym Leaders. Granted, you fight them one after each other and don't have a chance to swap mons, which is probably where most of the difficulty is meant to come from. Honestly, I'm pretty sure they're saving the really nasty teams for postgame/Round Two.

It is. It's an explicit effect on the Dragon's Den field - basically, I think as long as it's at full health, the only Super Effective move that you can hit it with is Rock.

I was wondering which member of the Elite Four gave the most people the most trouble - I think Heather was probably the toughest for me, with Anna second, Laura and Bennett third, and Elias fourth. None of them were easy, but that's the rough order of their difficulty, to me.

What soundtrack's playing when you fight the PULSE Mime? EDIT: Never mind, I found it. It's called findmEEE - and yeah, that's eerie...

Thanks for the guides to the Magic Square puzzles. Thank you so much. Maybe one day I'll get it to make sense in my head, but... yeah.

This all looks great! I'm actually doing another - well, a partial playthrough. I was going to do the Rejuvenation story up to the end of Chapter 5, and then wait until this came out. So, Legends of Arceus is good, huh? Good to hear. I haven't played it myself yet - issues with the company I bought it from, that I hope are resolved soon...

I was fighting the Rift Galvantula in a Grass monorun with Venam - and for some reason, at the end of my turn, an "error" screen popped up, and I couldn't send in any of my pokemon (also, the Toxic counter one of the Joltik had didn't seem to increase. I can't insert the screenshot I took - so I am telling you). The Grassy Terrain I had up was still active, by the way. Also, for some reason, when I reloaded, I apparently... approached the egg the wrong/right way, or something, and I could interact with it. The battle still started just fine when I tried to walk out, but it was weird. (And Sleep Powder works on Galvantula, even when the shields are up, but I am not sure if that is an error or not). And yes, I checked. I have 13.0.5.

Well, I think Jan said a while ago that he sort of identified Feraligator as their "official" starter, if that makes sense.

I came up with these over time... I think they aren't too bad. Not much more to say. New Magcargo Crest Tropius Crest Delibird Crest Luvdisc Crest

Actually, I think Dewgong is based on - well, Dugongs, to some degree. Using that as an inspiration... Dugongs are long lived and have few natural predators, and they feed on seagrass and algae. It seems they'd probably get a defense-boosting crest, like what Phione has? And they're... related more closely to elephants than other marine mammals, according to wikipedia? Huh. Gonna have to look that up... okay, it seems to be the case, according to a brief browsing session. Huh. Well, Dewgong has Drill Run, Smart Strike, and Iron Tail as learnable moves, and Donphan and Copperajah are Ground and Steel-types. Hm. We're probably going to have to think of something weird for poor Dewgong... Maybe a Perish Body effect and heightened defense, to go with what ty-taurus said? But with Dewgong being immune to said Perish Body effect.
