Thank you, Caz! Thankfully I was smart enough to not save after, I look forward to the update!

So I am currently stuck on the Scarlett battle in Blackview, the battle itself is hard as hell for me but not the problem. Each time I lose, a cutscene of Shiv fighting Nova plays and at the end of said cutscene, it just becomes a black screen, It still lets me open the menu but nothing else. Any ideas what to do now?

Oh neat! I’ll definitely give that plan a shot when I figure out how to load an old save! Sounds like a plan!

Crap. That’s unfortunate. What’s burn trapping? I’ve never heard that term before

Having Elekid and Electrike would help you out a lot, especially if you raise em up to the level cap. If I remember correctly, Manectric can most likely outspeed most of her team if she doesn't use Tailwind.

Ok, so I managed to get past the whole Amelia ordeal and I've been doing some stuff in Blackview and working on some sidequests, the gang war has started and I saved right before I go fight Scarlett on top of the skyscraper, problem is that she just straight up wipes my team if I get to her Cincinno (WHICH CAN APPARENTLY MEGA EVOLVE NOW!). Now I wouldn't mind this if it brings me back to the last healing spot, instead, it plays a cutscene of Shiv fighting Nova and then it's suddenly a black screen with the normal Blackview music playing in the background. Still lets me open my menu but I can't do crap. Any solutions?

Yes, it is, thank you for reminding me

Yes her Crobat uses u turn and switches to her cacturne, either that or uses tailwind. That’s why I usually have camerupt use a fire move. Might have to find a move that doesn’t change the field because it turns her Blaziken into one punch man at that point

My team has Empoleon, Lycanroc (Dusk), Camerupt, Pidgeot, Kricketune, and Manectric Her team if I remember correctly is Crobat, Blaziken (Speed boost), Zangoose, Milotic, Houndoom, and I forgot the last one unfortunately.

Hey, so I decided to start a new game for the new update and I have reached the part where you battle Amelia for the first time. In the old version, I didn't have that bad of time facing her but now, I'm getting absolutely crushed by most of her team. Any ideas or suggestions?

THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME

That sounds totally fine actually! As long as the battles are more fair, I’m totally ok with that! Thanks for answering!

Sorry if this is a stupid question but will there be a way to change difficulty from stuff like Easy, Normal, and Hard? (Kinda like Rejuv) The challenge is fun but I personally enjoy the story without getting my ass kicked for hours on end *Cough* Tristian *Cough*

My body is ready. (To get my ass kicked by Tristian over and over, again)

Yeah, interesting theories. Gets you thinking

Makes you wonder what they mean by "Doll". Are they implying that Nancy is an artificial person? She did say "she wasn't made like the others" I wonder if it was Team Xen that built her. It would make sense because Ren has a mechanical body so maybe they built a body from scratch.

Yeah maybe, there is definitely something supernatural about the MC. I think the Interceptor is like a force of nature pretty much. It is basically just spawned into existence to change the world's fate. I am not sure what role Nancy and Crescent play in this though because they clearly both knew more than they let on

Yes, very possible. It makes you wonder if Chrisolia Hotel will play a major role in the future.

That is an interesting thought. I'm not totally sure though since in the flashback with Adrest at the pyramid, he was with a woman who he addressed as his mother so that kinda rules out Nymeria as his mother, Indriad as his father, however is an interesting idea. We don't really know when exactly the flashback took place though.

I think it is also possible that Vitus thought he recognized the player in the sewer manor, though it's most likely he thought it was nothing. Something I'd like to figure out though is when exactly does the crack in the sewers take you, how did Vitus/Sirius get involved with Team Xen and met Geara, and what exactly happened in the prologue cutscene? We find out the house it took place in was the very same house outside of Sashila, but how could Anathea die both there and at the manor in the past? The latter we personally witnessed. We never found out how exactly Anathea died in the first cutscene.

That's an interesting thought. I'm kinda curious to how she knew Vitus though since you travel back to Hiyoshi City several decades in the past where she clearly knew him. Close to the present day, if you do Narcissa's quest, you get to see an old photo of Narcissa, a young Geara, and Sirius(Vitus) who looks like he hasn't aged a day at all. This leads me to believe he is definitely the man in the legend

No she didn't say it was her and Vitus but it is definitely implied

Alright I have another theory for y'all. I looked back at the story Nymeria told us about how Arceus was once part of a bigger entity, got split by a meteor, and how a man and a woman went to war against each other. I think that the man was Vitus/Indriad/Sirius/(Angie possibly?) and the woman was Nymeria. I think this because the sprites were blacked out but looked very similar and she spoke as if she was there. I'd like to know if you guys have any theories about this or other parts of the legend.

Honestly a pretty solid team, I'm by no means an expert on competitive teams but your team definitely has a good balance and can definitely take you pretty far.

There is an entire sidequest going through the dark story of Darchlight Manor, definitely one of my favorites in this game plus pretty rewarding. If you want to start it, go through Narcissa's Gym again all the way to the last room like last time and go through the mirror if I remember correctly.
