  1. *Decides to put a couple Pickup pokes into my party while I grind on a whim*
    *Swiftly gets 3 Blast Powders, 2 Dusk Balls, 2 Full Restores, and a friggin' Blue Moon Ice Cream*

     

    Well, uh, this is certainly more profitable than it was in RSE... 😅

  2. I highly doubt Sakurai would look to Hyrule Warriors for new characters. He'd probably look that direction to fill out the standard movesets, similar to how a few of Clouds non-Specials are pulled from Dissidia (Final Fantasy's own non-canon multi-game crossover spinoff), however.
  3. Well, seems like someone's a negative Nancy over here... Anyway, since the thread is apparently about Zelda candidates in general now instead of just Skull Kid, I guess I should lay down the rest of my thoughts here. As much as I don't personally put much stock in the rumors for the sake of rumors, I do believe it's rather likely that we'll get a new Zelda rep. this time, since Smash 4 didn't have any. The issue I've found, however, is that out of the three characters I personally expected to have a fighting chance to get promoted to playable, Midna and Girhahim have already been deconfirmed the same way Waluigi was. On the other end of the argument, Skull Kid isn't the only Zelda Assist Trophy that's currently MIA- we're also still lacking Tingle. And while he isn't particularly liked on this side of the Pacific, he is apparently fairly popular with Japan, and I wouldn't put it past Sakurai to go for the trolly path like this; the supposed Termina hinting could be pointing in that direction as well since Majora's Mask was the wannabe fairy's debut game as well. I'd personally rather them not go that route, but it's a possibility that wouldn't surprise me either. Looking at the other possible characters, I guess I should start with the others that have been mentioned here already. Impa has some chance, I believe, due to being the recurring character that hasn't been on Smash's battlefields in any capacity quite yet, but she doesn't seem particularly popular anywhere and her appearances have been spotty at best (read: she isn't in Twilight Princess or Wind Waker, to my knowledge). If she does somehow get in, however, she'd almost certainly be a slower but stronger Shiek Echo- she is the one who taught the not-so-secret ninja her skills in OoT, after all. Groose, on the other hand, seems extremely unlikely to me. Even if you were to disregard the controversy around the one main game he's appeared in, we have to remember that the one combat scenario we've actually seen him in had him in the background with a mobile catapult- that's not exactly conducive to making a fighter's moveset (but does make him a perfectly valid option for an Assist Trophy)! Tetra presents another sort of conundrum: outside of Hyrule Warriors (which gave her a rifle for some reason), all she really has going for her moveset-wise is her sword (*insert booing crowd noises here*) and the fact that she is, in fact, her world's Zelda; Similarly, Toon Zelda's other gimmick has already been commandeered by her more realistically-proportioned counterpart. I suppose they could realistically stat her out like Toon Link, but with Zelda's Specials, but Zelda's spells are kinda stolen from OoT Link's repertoire to begin with, so... it's probably not the greatest idea, in my eyes.
  4. Once more into the breach we go! What mysteries await us as we proceed to dismember yet another cyclopean vine monster?! ...Well, to begin with, I kinda expected stuffle to evolve a little later than that. Something like Lv.32 or something. Whoops? It looks Like Grape Jelly Jr. has no tricks up her non-existent sleeve that the first one had, so that's simply a matter of stats, and... Wheel knows Earth Power already?! Again, I expected that to come online a little later- that'll make one of the upcoming bosses so much easier, for sure! *And so Ribbon thusly learned why nuzleaf are known as the Wily Pokemon.* ...I'm not really sure what they were actually trying to accomplish, especially since I don't think it's ever touched upon later on, but Fern getting his kicks out of it is right on character, so... that's something? Not a remotely good something, but something nonetheless. In any case, Taka's truly living up to the title you gave him last episode by getting us out of what would otherwise have been a self-imposed stoflock, so there is some good to come out of the situation~! Situations that aren't so good, however, include the myrad toppled over buildings, and the dead Police Officer. Wait, that means we aren't actually able to save all five! Mission failed! I repeat, mission failed! Interesting thing to note is that Taka and Zel have totally different responses to having to face us again, which really just shows how foiled they are to each other. zEl and zeL, on the other hand, don't really contrast too hard with Taka, especially the latter case... Though, to be perfectly frank, I'm not sure what the point in swapping espeon out for umbreon was- the next attack in that slot was clearly telegraphed and Super Effective against both pokemon... Regardless, it was another easy victory for Team Ribbon, and those oughta be cherished while they're still around~! And with the old faces out of the way, it all comes down to the guy who stood up to a salamence to get their just desserts. For you see, while we may be "an alley cat parading as a tiger", to use their own words, that still means that we're an alley cat- and most successful alley cats are never, ever alone in their endeavors! That said, the culprit being Salamence Girl's father does explain a few things, like why he opened up the confrontation with lectures... Regardless, even without her aggravatingly self-centered resistance, 1 vs. 6 are not exactly favorable battle conditions. His attempt at shaking the Chief's faith in the League is a bit interesting, though- the implications are indeed vile, but he never really confirms or denies anything either. Curious, just like the disappearing act he pulls... Number of Officers Saved: 4/5, plus a sad pupper Current Death Toll: 7 Major Decisions Made: 1

    primarium z

    Unless it's changed since the last Episode (which I kinda doubt), the Primarium-Z isn't in a house. Rather, there'a singular Dive Spot hiding among the rocks along the pathway toward Azurine Island- no Keys necessary!
  6. Yeah, it's pretty bizarre to think about. Prior to Gen. 5, it seems to have been pure coincidence- at around Unova's era, it became pretty clear Game Freak didn't even want to think about the concept of there being anything without a Type, doing such wonderful things as redubbing Curse as a Ghost move, dummying out Arceus' ??? Forme completely (which is especially odd, given that the Azure Flute and the God Stone are both floating about the games' coding to this day, if I remember correctly), and ensuring that neither of the pure-Flying Types could learn Roost. Yes, this is despite the fact that Tornadus is the one of the Genies that wound actually being a friggin' bird. And then Burn Up happened, and the rest is history.
  7. Hmmm... it seems Rejuvenation replaced Superheated with a more mountainous (and arguably common) variant. Can't say that choice doesn't make sense, though- you are on top of a volcano when you find it, after all.
  8. Tailwind can create it in the Mountain, Volcanic Top, and Snowy Mountain Field Effects, but those are some pretty niche scenarios- as far as I'm aware, you cannot create them outside of bouncing between them or pulling some shenanigans with the Sky Field. Though that description CrossImpact pulled up is curious- why did PSMD decide that the only pokemon worthy of being boosted by the Wind were Arceus and Tornadus (silvally didn't exist yet)? That just seems silly, given that the pokemon that activates it can't even benefit from it!
  9. I feel like complaining about another Zelda character is a little unwarranted, given that it's really just Link 3 times (so, same basic archetype with minor moveset tweaks and stat differences), Zelda twice (albeit with drastically different stat spreads, playstyles, and general archetypes), and Ganondorf once (who finally uses his sword<s>!) So really, blame Link for that part of the roster being seemingly overgrown. The guy needs to chill out a bit! Anyway, back on topic: Skull Kid seems like a pretty solid candidate if they do opt to add another Zelda character for the roster for a few reasons: A) He's not Just Another LinkTM B) He isn't a skilled swordsman (the Links, new!Ganondorf), a powerful magician (Zelda), a swift ninja (Shiek), or a brutish fighter (Ganondorf in general), he's a puppeteer (and a pretty dang good one, if his Twilight Princess cameo has anything to say about it) who happened upon an immensely powerful artifact (two, if you want to count the brief period where he had possession of the Ocarina of Time). This alone gives the Smash team a pretty significant amount of design space when it comes to separating him from from the series' other representatives- the fact that Tattl and Tael actually fight with him in Hyrule Warriors also adds a little bit more for them to work with in terms of filling out his moveset. C) Out of all of the antagonists the Legend of Zelda series had in games where Ganon and/or Ganondorf aren't around, Skull Kid is by far the most easily recognizable for a combination of factors: his janky motions and especially his distinctively deranged laughter are quick to burn themselves into players minds anyway, Majora's Mask is an impressive piece of design work otherwise, and he did kinda, I dunno, set in motion a clearly apocalyptic event that took Link's unique Groundhog Day shenanigans to even have a chance at stopping (which he didn't have access to until the last few hours of the first loop because the puppeteer himself had the Ocarina of Time until that moment), just to see how the local townsfolk would react! Despite the fact that he isn't explicitly evil, he manages to create the scenario for what is easily the darkest Zelda game to date in a mere 3 days- in comparison, Ganondorf, the so-called Lord of Evil, took seven years to truly ruin one town in the previous game. Talk about your grand achievements! So really, my question is less 'does he have the potential to be in Smash?' and more 'if he does get in, what will his Final Smash be?'. The most obvious option, just drop the friggin' moon onto the field, doesn't work since that's been revealed to be a standalone Assist Trophy, so the team now has room to get a little more creative. Will Majora briefly rip off of his face to mess up some peeps itself, similar to how Ganon temporarily drops his humanoid facade in his FS? Will he call upon the Boss Remains to rain havoc upon the unassuming masses, similar to how they helped Majora in the final fight? Or maybe they'll go way out of left field and do something with the masked kids on the moon, or even the very giants that were integral to stopping his scheme in the actual game? I think it'd be interesting to see what they go with should the theories strike true in this regard~!

  11. Spoilery type stuffs associated with the above discussion: Anyway, that's enough prattle- onto the Autumn's Autistic Episode Review (title pending)! And we all know what this paragraph is for, right? Yup, yup, we're starting things off with... a rather self-aware newbie? I guess that would explain the less-than-stellar Accuracy behind this nidora- er, nidorino's attacks, but at least Beginner's Luck is gracious enough to boost the damage of the strikes that land? I still feel like most of the pokemon that get Hustle don't do a whole lot of good with it, but my experiences in Insurgence have taught me not to discredit the Ability entirely, so... Onward, to bigger and better things- like Grape Jelly now being the proper color for his name! And ZEL being called cool by one of the local youngsters, despite all of klink's countless haters! And there's the second newcomer: Paddington, to Stuffing of Flammable Nightmares. I'm personally not fond of the bewear line, but I hear it's a decent enough poke despite its Ability being a weaker Fur Coat with an added drawback for good measure? I dunno- at least this one's decent everywhere but HP. Today, on television: Ribbon doesn't have to worry about saving the world this time, because some chick with a friggin' salamence has stepped to the plate before they can even get there! That's right ladies, boiyos, and peoples of neither designation, we got a Lv. 50+ monstrosity here to save the Jasper and Beryl Wards at long, long last! Unless it's one of the Lv. 10 ones from the Alola Region, but let's not even contemplate that. ...And then there's the 'interview'. I, uh, legitimately have no idea what to make of that prophecy of theirs, to be honest. Then again, I haven't finished the latest story arc on my own file, so maybe there's a clue there? Er, don't spoil me, please. Can we just take a brief moment to appreciate the sheer variety of remixes of the Reborn City Theme this game has? 'Cuz that's some pretty distinctive stuff- the Jasper Ward has got a completely different mood from the Opal Ward, Onyx is decidedly different from the title screen... It's all pretty dang impressive, really! *That feel when you're remembered for being put up into stealing TNT by a crazy lady* And finally, we meet Meteor Admin #3: Taka, the one who seems to have risen up to being quite the fan favorite, even before the E17 shenaniganry. I gotta wonder, though: how differently would the story have gone if he had freed the tangrowth? In any case, daaaaang if you didn't knock this fight to next Tuesday and back! That has got to be the fastest I've ever seen his chatot go down to something with no Super Effective attacks against it, and let's be real here: That last Lava Plume was complete overkill, no two ways about it! ...Real talk, how the heck did we beat the chick with the friggin' salamence? Was she just completely unable to see through the canopy or something? Aerial mobility is a massive boon in search missions like this, she had quite the head start on us, and the PULSE Machine isn't exactly camouflaged... Though given the state of the city, I think I can understand why her father would be hesitant to let her out despite having given her a giant, fire-breathing Dragon... Number of Officers Saved: 2/5 Current Death Toll: 6 (Technically higher, but we still have no confirmed numbers on the PULSE Crisis, so this is staying where it is)
  12. No, I don't believe that's changed locations. That Meteor is at the end of the arch, however, whereas is a fair bit closer to Florinia and in the same location as the Egg I brought up. And I think they need to be beaten before you access to said Egg's pathway.
  13. He could referring to the Egg that was hanging out in the Malchous Forest- that one has a chance to hatch into deerling, which was Jess' addition to the roster. I don't think we'll be at the Mystery Egg quite yet, considering the fact that we're just starting that story arch!
  14. "One does not simply defeat Meteors with a tired mind." See, I can meme like the cool kids too! No worries, no worries! I've been doing a pretty bad job of keeping with my own 'net related "duties" these past couple days, so you needn't get stressed about this.
  15. Well, I would've beat the E18 gauntlet at long last, but a certain Fire Blast just had to decide and ignore my X Sp. Def investment by way of critical hit... Welp, time for attempt #19, I guess?

  16. Hah, I did get it eventually! And have documented proof of having done so! Now, where's mah cookie?! On a more serious note, my first thought was the Xenoblade/ SSB4 quote as well, but figured that wasn't what he was going for since he used the word 'totally' instead of 'really'. I believe I alluded to that as well? In any case, that denial allowed me to contemplate the answer from the context of Reborn instead. For the record, I figured out the correct answer when he started reading the Onyx Girls' diaries.
  17. Ohy boy, a version of this thread that doesn't funnel into only answering with final stage pokes! Nice~! Gen. 1: Wartortle, hands down. All of the middle stages this gen attempt to go for some variant of 'the starters, but in their edgy phase', except charmeleon comes off as just being angry at everything and ivysaur is... really just a bigger bulbasaur, given that the Seed Pokemon already looked kinda annoyed in its earlier sprites. Wartortle, on the other hand, somehow manages to make having both pointed "ears" and a fluffy squirrel tail look kinda menacing, while showing off a level of attitude right out the gates that's almost certainly the inspiration for the Squirtle Squad in the anime! Not bad, for the most-overlooked phase in starter designs that happens to be part of one I never chose, no? Gen. 2: I'm almost certainly in the minority here, but this Generation's starters never really clicked with me anywhere. Like, you know that thing where there's at least one pokemon among the starters that immediately makes you go 'I wanna use that thing!' when you're first introduced to them? That never happened to me with Johto. I guess I oughta put something down here, though, so I'm gonna say bayleef, for having the guts to do the 'battle scarred' thing well before sharpedo could despite being based off of a relatively peaceful creature and having one of the most passive Typings to boot! It's a shame meganium went and took the line in the complete opposite direction in the end... Gen. 3: Let's be honest here, there's probably gonna be a few PMD2 fanpeoples cropping up here singing praises for grovyle because of just how awesome the Thief was as a character. Heck, we might get even lucky and see it get mentioned in the context of the anime, despite it really being charmeleon 2.0 over there (from what I understand, anyway)! Someone's oughta get that tide comin' in, and it would seem that this time, that someone is me. Represent! Really, though, this is the one Generation where I don't have any real grievances with any of the starters (blaziken's terrible posture in its Mystery Dungeon sprites notwithstanding), which is a pretty significant achievement. Gen. 4: For the longest time, I avoided using glass cannons like the plague. And then I opted to play a run of Diamond with chimchar as my starter on a complete whim, and HOLY FRIGGIN' CLOSE COMBAT did it prove its worth! The number of things that infernape utterly annihilated that run was astronomical, and what it couldn't reliably get was usually covered by my drapion- between those two, it wound up becoming the most fun I've had in Diamond to date! Given that I already liked infernape's design a fair bit before hand (though one likely couldn't tell through the sheer number of times I chose turtwig), experiencing the raw power it brought to the table firsthand simply served to edge out my old mainstay and claim the throne- something its inspiration never was quite capable of doing. This thing earned the popularity it enjoyed in the Gen. 4 metagame, that's for sure! Gen. 5: Next on the list of middle stage pokemon I adore but wind up becoming something I'm less-than-fond-of upon reaching the mid-30's, we have... oh hey, it's another Water Type! I sort of connect to dewott in a way that no other starter has been able to replicate- it's prevo is all-around awkward and doesn't seem quite all there mentally (which is extremely reminiscent of my 9 year old self), and yet it gets its act together and become a highly competent agility-focused dual-wielder despite its previous shortcomings (a fighting style I personally default to when I find myself sword fighting; and no, we don't use actual metal swords)! Like, dang if that isn't a rarity right there! Unfortunately, its evolution sees it decide to take up a completely different fighting style overnight, thus putting its life's training to complete waste, but hey- nothing's perfect. Gen. 6: Something, something, blame Pokken and its decision to give Dream Drop Distance-esque aesthetics to a certain critter's Synergy Burst for me coming to like braixen. I mean, I never like the froakie line (come to think of it, I'm not a fan of any of the ninja-based pokemon ), and while chespin's cute and chesnaught's putting in some serious work for me in Reborn, they don't really compare too well to ridiculous performance the fox puts on in the Ferrum Region! Gen. 7: You hear that? No? Well, there's a reason for that: decidueye's here to claim the last slot on my list! I mean, archers are cool enough already, but an archer that happens to also be of a bird family I've adored since my elementary years? An archer that uses parts of its own body to get the job done without any personal pain or financial loss? An archer bearing one of my favorite Types, and for dang good reason?! Please, that'd be enough to draw me thoroughly into Team Rowlett if dartrix hadn't already done that beforehand! But of course, it's an Alola starter, and Alola's starters got pumped full of personality right out of the gate- Pokken didn't even have to try to come up with something when it got added to that roster, and it really just goes to strengthen the stilt owl's appeal among those who were already liking that sweet design! Oh, and that Rejuvenation glitch that gave it Steam Eruption for some reason was pretty hilarious- I suppose that has to amount to something as well? ...Aaaand, done! It probably says something about me that most of these are middle stagers, and that no first stages made the cut at all, but what can I say? I've never been perfectly in touch with the mainstream in the first place~!
  18. I've used claydol, metagross, and bronzong in the main games at various points (as well as both azelf and uxie*, but are we actually allowed to count those?), and am currently using magnezone in Reborn. Heck, I'm kinda tempted to use solrock whenever I get around to doing that Mono-Psychic run of Rejuv. I've been contemplating for a while! Since I'm more of a filthy casual player (not to be mistaken for the Reborn Evo. user), I don't really care about most of those specific breeding-related shenanigans outside of making sure that they have at least decent IVs (at least 10 across the board, with the important ones wanting to be closer to 20 or so) in the games where I can check those. *Note that these were used in Diamond, which was two Generations before Legendary Pokemon were made to have three guaranteed perfect IVs
  19. I think it's something I though t the first time as well, but my memory's a little fuzzy. It's been a while, and I didn't think much of it afterwards, so... As far as I'm aware, the reason why Flobot is the way she is hasn't quite been touched on. There's a reason I word it like that, though- she gets a bit more attention at a certain assault if you beat Solaris early on, which I didn't do in my run. Maybe something gets dug up there?
  20. The word 'totally' here is, uh, totally throwing me off. Maybe it has something to do with the DOT-heavy nature of her team? If I'm wrong, I'm just gonna grab a cookie of my own anyway... Oh, wait, it's because of Florinia's facade, isn't it? I didn't exactly expect to have a 'new pokemon' section coming into this, but Cherry Pie Jr. seems to have other things in mind. They're shiny! I can't really say I'm a fan of closed!cherrim's shiny in this game, but open!cherrim typically display lighter hues, so I'm a bit curious on that front. ...Aaaand, loppuny's updated cry sounds like some forced wheezing. Ew. It just dawned on me that boundless energy isn't the only thing vigoroth has that it's evolutionary relatives lack- apparently it has a tail as well! Wonder what's up with that? And ooh, J-Awesome Jr. and ZEL Jr. (geez, that's a weird one ) are both looking much better than their predecessors! Ah, Fern, Fern, Fern... It would seem you need a lesson on the Alignment System. We saved the Obsidia Ward on out own free will- we needed no help, nor a legitimate reward. We just did. That's some Grade A 'Good' type stuff! And you? Did you go into that factory just so you can hold the fact that you did over other peoples' heads and inflate your own ego? What's a person like that gonna know about what's 'Good enough' and what's not? Oh, and now your closing the gate 'to protect your pride'? My, oh my, if your strongest of the Seven Deadly Sins ain't clear for all to see! ...I'm calling hax on your roselia, though- the only way a budew could be happy enough around you to evolve is if it were masochistic! Is that going too far? All the books in the school are a single 'great read'? Er, it looks like it'd take me at least one month to clear out that shelf over there, and I highly doubt that's the only shelf in this place... Spoilers for later in the game, to those for whom this is their first journey: Titania's diary is still one of the goofiest things in the game, in my opinion! The moment I saw the message that Florinia was about to send out a cottonee, I knew exactly what it's schtick was and had a pretty good guess on what it would become. One of the best plays I remember seeing involves a whimsicott using Prankster to get priority with Nature Power to bypass the Speed stat, and adding Z-Power to change into Twinkle Tackle- I'd imagine that's the sort of strategy Florinia would be interested in using, even though cottonee seems out of place with the rest of her team aesthetically! To be honest, I wasn't sure swapping J-Awesome into that was going to a good idea... but apparently you can Battle Style: Shift! switch while under the effects of Sand Tomb despite the fact that all other manners of switching should fail for non-Ghost Types? Weird, but certainly handy! Swapping Tater Tot into a cradily, on the other hand... I don't like cradily's new cry, either In any case, it seems the Desert Rose has wilted and fallen! Maybe, just maybe, Flobot would've been more succesful if she had opted to use the Steel Magnolia fighting style instead? Who knows, and really, who cares- We've got the Canopy Badge now! Wait, Canopy? As in, rain forest Canopy? Why's a Badge like that in the possession of a desert-based Gym Leader?! Current death count: 6 (unchanged from last time)
  21. 1) And sableye. Oh, and parasect sounds like its actually going through death throes when defeated now. It's... a bit of a mess, really. 2) Um, Reshiram OHKO'd my Ground Type, so I didn't even have that option. It was also smart enough to start charging Solar Beam when I tried to Destiny Bond it, so that flubbed out as well. I swear, I had more trouble facing the Truth than I did the Guardian Exile herself! (Not to say that I didn't struggle against Titania, of course) 3) And Earth Power can drop the target's Sp. Def. if it fails to net the kill. It's kind not really any more of an issue than the rest of her team if you know what you're doing (and have enough luck on your side, of course). 4) Something, something, wishiwashi eats eggs for breakfast... I've had a run of Amaria completely ruined by that thing revealing that Earthquake works Underwater. Never mind the fact that half her team carries Dive to move the Field about to her liking, which is notably a twice-boosted Physical attack- I highly doubt that a chansey would be able to solo her, to be honest. %) I recall Ame saying at one point that part of the reason the E18 Leader doesn't use Trick Room like their IRL counterpart did is that the AI didn't work with it. Having seen a Trick Room-oriented leader in Rejuvenation literally just have their setter sit around for five rounds while a Speed Boost pokemon went to town on the other side of the field, I'm kinda inclined to agree with this sentiment.
  22. 1) For the record, the cries changing isn't something Ame came up with on the fly- all the older pokemons' cries got redone when the franchise moved to the 3DS (yes, even the practically brand new ones), and it simply took Reborn about half a decade to catch up to the main series on that front. Believe me, I don't like it either (alas, poor staraptor, I knew ye well), but that's something to blame GF for. 2) I'd imagine it's to help you out in the following fight, since it is given to you right before you face the Legendary Dragon. Reshiram and zekrom aren't easy foes if you aren't already prepared for them (which you probably won't be the first time through), and having a Field Effect you've never seen before that further strengthens their power (especially Reshiram's) exacerbates the issue even more. Having the Readout on hand makes it so you don't have to rely on trial and error to figure out the Dragon's Den's quirks, which may help you figure out a way to beat them with your current team- I know it helped me out considerably. 3) Ignoring the fact that klefki's annoying in general, it's worth noting that Fire Types are no better in that fight than many other Types- the only pokemon on Titania's team that remain's weak to Fire attacks is her sandslash, and her excadrill balances that advantage out rather nicely. Similarly, you're missing a pretty significant detail in terms of wearing down this klefki and its friggin' twice-boosted Draining Kiss: klefki has lower Special Defense than Physical, and Earth Power is a Tutor Move, which works well with Special Attackers like omastar, gastrodon, probopass, and even sunflora. And even if it weren't an MT, camerupt gets it anyway- between having a STAB attack that uses camerupt's higher offensive stat aiming at it's lower defensive one, resisting both of its STABs in turn, and being immune to Thunder Wave, it seems to me that the lava camel may very well be one of the best counters available by that point in the game, despite the afore-mentioned nerf to Fire Types in this fight. Also, palossand's a thing. 4) Maybe it's in response to the reports that she loses outright to extreme stall? Seems like a rather weak explanation to me, and it's not like starmie adds much to the equation- it's Speed doesn't matter on a Field where non-Water's are slower than molasses, and said trait makes Analytic almost completely useless on it. And the rotom was only in her Singles team, so it isn't around for Spotlight shenanigans, either... 5) That's a tad curious. The AI is clearly smart enough to frustrate you, yet seems incompetent enough to not use Trick Room properly? Seems legit.
  23. I don't suppose your puns have any Coral-lation to any sort of Beryl-ium, hm? 'Cuz all the crazies about this place are making me a feel a tad ex-Jasper-rated. Please tell me I didn't just waste brain cells that'd be better served elsewhere... Anyway, Welcome to these strange and wondrous lands we call the Reborn Evolved Forums!

  24. >Pokemon GO! stuff: That's actually a bit of irony in my household: my father, who claimed to despise Pokemon (except scyther) for years plays it, yet I, who have been a stubborn fan of the franchise for nearly my entire life, don't.
