[The Hardest Gym Leader]

pre-nerf Aya made me quit Reborn for over a year

Interesting  that doubles is winning for Amaria. I think Reborn doubles battles are the hardest part about these games.

I'm a long time Nappy and Co. watcher, and I do agree that the Kiki scene was just awful. I don't really mind most of the voices and whether they "fit" or not, but Twit absolutely did Kiki wrong in trying to be funny. It wasn't. 

 

Mo's my favorite. Both in terms of his personality towards the game (empathy, etc) and his willingness to take this playthrough somewhat seriously. I really don't see them living too much longer. I know we've all said this nine million times, but when's the absolute last realistic point where they finally just say screw it and either a) cancel the nuzlocke portion of it or b) just cancel the entire playthrough? Aya's gym? Radomus? It's gonna be a double battle at some point. They just won't have any power to take on what the leaders throw at them.

I was so happy to get a Litten on WT today! Especially because I chose Team Magma and didn't have an easy outlet to get one.

So do you remember when Taka wanted you to battle him? Depending on your choice you either get the Reshiram path (you didn't fight him) or the Zeckrom path (where you did fight him.)

 

perfect, thank you!

So I'm new to the forum and new to getting this far into the story. This is my first full playthrough I've been really confused with this whole 

 

Reshiram path and Zekrom path thing. 

 

I do remember obviously the scene with Reshiram. But can someone just please TLDR/ELI5 the whole "path" thing? Is this due to my actions? Is this something that hasn't "happened" yet?

 

 

[How Did You Deal with E18's Gauntlet Battles?]

So, I've struggled a lot with the double battles in this game. I remember when I first played this game I actually rage quit the entire game at the Wasteland because I got so frustrated. But, with everything in this game, it's made to make you think and losing is not necessarily a bad thing.

 

I started the Cain/Shelly battle with Metagross and Rotom-W. Rotom-W took out Marowak with Hydro Pump and set up was on. Meowstic couldn't touch either of my team and after a couple of X Sp Def's, neither could Ribombee. I lost on a couple of tries when Hydro Pump or Zen Headbutt on Metagross would miss (damn you, Volcarona), but I ultimately prevailed. 

 

The middle battle was a breeze when I realized I could just set up on the Weavile with X Def. Even Night Slash on the Metagross wasn't doing much at +6. As many have stated, keeping your side alive in this battle is the most important thing here, and it took me a couple of losses in battle 3 to realize this. As the poster above said, having a steel type in the final battle is so key here. I too ignored Clefable and made it a 2v1 keying on the other side. Metagross is a monster, plain and simple.
