    You can return to Dreamscape after you reach E5 ending. sleep on the bed in your room in the manor and you'll return to Aurora's manor.

    Thanks, but... I reloaded an old save in me within the dreamscape. Talked to the chief and he tells me to return when I'm stronger, as shown from the screenshot in the earlier post. So does this only activate towards the end of E5?

    There is a sidequest you need to do in the south wildlands. Talk to the chief of the south wildlands and he will tell you that you can help the construction workers out if you want. Then talk to the construction workers and they will mention the excadrill giving them trouble. Fight the excadrill and then talk to one of the construction workers. You should find a drilbur after. 

    Spoiler

    Ah shucks. Is there any way to return to the Dreamscape sequence after you leave it for the first time?

    Edit: Also, the Randle guy tells me to return later. when I'm stronger.

  3. I've been EV training in the basement of the manor, and my Pokemon are not gaining any more EVs past a particular point. It's supposed to be 510 (at least officially and in other games), but my Dodrio caps out at around 380 and Delphox at 368.

    This is after I've updated to the latest patch.

  4. Thank you.

     

    Being a fitness junkie, I love this concept and will try it out. Let you know how well I fare.

     

    I'm gonna go off on a little ranty tangent here but I believe it's necessary.

     

    I agree that most people do not like to exercise because it is boring - but that's because most people don't know how to make exercise fun. The reason why this is because everyone thinks you have to do 200 pushups to look like Brad Pitt. Which is boring, if not extremely difficult for the layman. And I have good news. You don't.

     

    All goals for any fitness enthusiast can be broken down to two goals - the most common one being to lose fat, the second to gain muscle.

     

    Muscle growth and strength growth comes though progressive overload. If you can do an exercise for more than 8 reps, you're strong enough to proceed to the next level. For the average gym goer, that's easy. But what about the rest of us who don't like cranking heavy weights? Funny, because it's even more relevant with the pandemic in existence now.

     

    Introducing - Calisthenics. 

     

    Progressively get stronger by doing and sticking to an exercise for 5-8 reps. Keep in that range, do it for two months which adequate protein consumption and you'll build a hefty amount of muscle. Once you can do 3 sets of 8 pushups, go to the next variation - the pike pushup.

     

    Second, fat loss. Easy. Caloric deficit is the answer. You have to programme your body to eat less. I understand that this is the larger problem for most people. What i personally did is go down from three meals a day to two - thereby consuming lesser amount of calories by default. Easier to stick to and I can eat more at a single sitting and still consume less on a daily basis overall.

     

    It's that simple.

     

    The problem with fitness being so difficult to understand is the amount of bullshit spewed over the internet. You see celebrities on roids like Dwayne Johnson swear by drinking 4 gallons of water a day (which is impossible and dangerous for any human being), talk about eating 6 times a day to around 5000 calories worth of food. Which is as you would guess a lie, and not completely true. Eating that much food will put you at a caloric surplus and you'll gain fat. Which you don't want.


    I implore everybody to workout. It's the most liberating feeling once you get used to it, you'll develop a very positive body image when you see the change because of the work you put into it. My final year of college, people called me the "shredded otaku" - cringy as it is, I loved it because I had overturned the classic redneck anime 5000+body pillow wielding stereotype.

     

    Let's all become buff nerds. 2020 is our year.

     

    PS: for those of you looking for a good plan to do at your home, try the Recommended Routine from the bodyweight fitness subreddit. Its a perfect beginner's routine that slowly builds up to elite level exercises like the full planche and the handstand pushup.

     

    Equipment: I recommend getting gymnastic rings, a pullup bar and a weighted vest once you're strong enough for the most challenging exercises for more challenge.

    The game's actually easier to replay than you would expect since you can save/kill scarlet this time around, I played through twice too and had a fun time obliterating gym leaders I struggled with on my first run. 

    The one thing that kills the replayability is the lack of a speedup button.

     

    @Caz pls don't forget about this in the coming release...

  6. Oh man, I've been waiting since forever for the return of this. Glad you could make it despite your busy schedule.

     

    I actually deleted my Desolation folder because I thought it wasn't coming back apologies for having such little faith 😛

  7. Wondering how everyone manages on a team of 6 when I have nearly a box full of rotation mons. (If that scares you, wait till you see my Reborn "team"). The only constant member on my team is my starter, and two if they prove to be extremely reliable. Everyone else is swapped regularly.

    Let's avoid anymore DOUBLE LEFTOVER Florges. I still go to therapy for it.

     

    Speaking off, why is it when a trainer is our battle partner, they are utterly incompetent and are at best, meat shields for us to set up, but when we fight them SUDDENLY they become a challenge and usually have unfair advantages and better AI. Compare and contrast fighting with Erin against the Rift Regi, to Challenger Erin.  It's also like Shelly from Reborn.  

    Noticed this as well. Melia especially was disastrous in the battle vs Geara and Zetta. She either got oneshotted or would use the worst move possible. I remember her Togekiss using aura sphere or sth on Zetta's Vileplume smh

    well if you got like 20-25 mins to spare, you can always check the game runs people post on this forum. helped me both during v10 and v11. gonna do the same in v12

    I do, I follow DerogatoryTrainer and Commander's runs when I can. DT is pretty behind though.

     

    It's the ridiculous amount of time travel that confounds me - especially since there's a lot of time between the version releases and a whole bunch of characters.

    I'm going to be restarting my save and using Infernape as a starter on normal difficulty once V12 comes out.  What should I do with my team? Ignore by V10 team below, just base ideas

     

    Using an Infernape in my current run right now.

     

    I don't have an official six Pokemon team - but some I've found to be extremely useful: Sawsbuck, Crobat, Vivillion.

     

    Lanturn is great as we have access to slow Volt Switch.

    Won't be in V12, but I have plans for a sort of "journal" that keeps track of information for you so that you don't have to remember every single detail to get what's going on! 

    Swell

     

    Even the simple Platinum-esque journal entries should suffice unless you already have an idea in mind

    they are going to have to play it from the beginning otherwise we would be here all day. I understand to see what has changed from the previous version but there is so much main story and i dont wanna type for that long, as well as sidequests

    Not your job to explain it to me, but it'd still be nice to have for the multitudes of returning players

  12. Well I did ask for a quick summary so that's on me...

     

    But to be fair, when you're an occasional player who only plays when a new version is released and very occasionally start a new save file for certain reasons, it's hard to keep track of what's going on. Character motivations are lost on me and I've found myself asking "wait, who is this again?" several times.

  13. You can get a Munna by trading a Bibarel for it in the peridot ward. It is so tanky and hits like a truck. Once you get the TM works great as a light screener as well.

     

    Speed boost Sharpedo is great too since it looks like you're missing a water type on your team

    2-4 EST on the day of the summer social, I have close to max box compasity filled so when Are announced the summer social event in the announcements section I asked her if a few of us could hold a WT event since that typically goes with the social events

    I only got half of that xD

    Is there a link to this event? I'd love to participate

     

    Btw, I'm available to trade. My username is RedAlert.

    I can give you all three

    Can you give me something you'd think someone through WT would like to see or items there is a WT event on the 28th with the Summer social between 2-4pm so any decent Pokemon I get between now and then are going towards it if you don't have something you think someone else will like that your willing to part with heart scales and focus sash are appreciated if you don't have those your willing to part with then you can just have them

    I can give you a Shiny Rockruff which has 31 IVs in Attack and Speed and shiny Steelix and Ursaring.

    And yeah I can give you 2 heart scales and a focus sash if you'd like those.

     

    Thanks a lot, big help

     

    Edit: Btw, can you expand more on this Wonder Trade?

  16. I'm looking for 3 Pokemon that I've been unable to find to complete my Pokedex. They are:

    • Solrock
    • Fletchling
    • Sigilyph

     

    Anyone willing to trade me those?

    In return, I can breed and give you anything you require if you give me some time 🙂

     

    Thanks!
