  1. I've already replayed v13 two times and I'm in my third playthrough and this fight is always in my head as one of the WORSTS in the whole game.. Previously to this it was the top of the Mount Valor fight against Gaera and Zetta but this one takes the cake by a LOOONG shot and that Aegislash is the main issue..

    So firstly, Aegislash, a Pokemon that in the UBER tier for a reason.. Massive bulk in defense mode, allowing it to set up moves like Sword Dance without worry, King's Shield lowers the enemy Attack and S.Attack on contact and massive Attack and S.Attack in offensive mode, on top of being difficult to predict but the Pokemon itself isn't the main issue, Aegislash isn't a god and has ways to counter it and that would be fine and dandy if it wasn't for one little details, the GODAMN field (Fairy Tale Field)!

    So let's talk about the Fairy Tale Field (I will highlight the ones that are the main issue in relation to her Aegislash to keep this "short"):
    - Fire-type attacks gain Dragon-typing: Since one of the main weaknesses of Aegislash is fire this is a massive boost to it making fire-types very unreliable in this fight meaning they're only really effective against her Hydreigon but the main issue is -1 weakness to Aegislash meaning that the only weakness it now has are Dark, Ghost and Ground (And Ghost isn't really a good idea against it).
    - The move Sacred Sword becomes Steel-type: Meaning that, one, it now deals STAB with it and, two, it gets boosted by the 1.5x damage on Steel moves the field provides, for the mathematicians out there, riddle me this, 150 base Attack, the move deals 90 base damage, gets the bonus 1.5x from the field and another 1.5x from STAB, in shorts, this alone can OHKO even pokemons that resist it..
    - King's Shield protects from ALL moves, even non-attacking ones: Ah yes! Let's get the only weakness the King's Shield move has and totally remove it! It will be balance, I swear!
    - King's Shield additionally lowers an attacker's Special Attack 2 stages on contact: So we have this move that is completely OP and one of the main reasons Aegislash is in the UBER tier, we already made it able to block everything.. What else we do? Ah, yes! DOUBLE the debuffs! Like.. Whatahell, Jan Azery?!

    - The stat changing effect of Sword Dance is amplified: OK so Aegislash is already pretty OP on defense, we should stop here, right? WRONG! Let's make it OP in damage too by getting 2x boost on Sword Dance! So one single Sword Dance boost his damage by 3x!!!

    At this point I have to ask why Jan Azery also didn't treat it as a rift Pokemon and gave it 6 shield bars too.. 
    Anyway for the people stumped on this, here is the best way I figured to counter it but still relies on a bit of RNG..

    Spoiler

    So basically I try to switch to my Boltung whenever she sends in the Togekiss, then use Nuzzle, she will switch the Togekiss to Aegislash, the first Nuzzle will hit the shield but no matter just use it again to paralyze it then switch to a Steelix (EVs MUST be 252 Attack and Defense), if it paralyzes, nice, if it doesn't it will tank the Sacred Sword with a little more than 50% HP then you need to use Earthquake AND pray that it will get paralyzed since it will be on the offensive stance it will get OHKOed by it but, if it doesn't paralyze, try again until it does..


    -EDIT-
    Forgot to add, it already comes in with a King's Shield protection, meaning it gets a free turn where it's completely immune to EVERYTHING

    This didn't occur to me either and neither did it to steal Ren's Pokemon in Hiyoshi City in V12. I assume that had to have been fixed in V13 and so will this in V14 so enjoy it now. 

    That was the first thing I tried when I saw the items the pokemons were helding, hah!
    Wasn't expecting to be able to take them tho'
    A surprise but a pleasant one for sure!

    Around level 80 late. 

    Lv80?!
    Bruh, Lv85 almost Lv90 since you need 2 badges to go from 80 to 85.. I wish it was Lv80.. It's right after where we left off from v12, it takes a little while still but eh..

    I don't know what you mean about 'speedbreed', but Debug Mode has a way of generating, collecting, and quick-hatching eggs.

    It's a mod that adds 2 monitor to the daycare, one creates eggs based on the Pokemons left there and the other hatch those eggs

    And here it is:

    Still prefer debug mode tho'..

    Also while it doesnt prove anything, naturally, just thought it would be interesting to compare. The sprites are a bit too similar compared to others with that perspective. 

     

    Nah man, that's non-sense!
    I already know that Madame X is Piano Lady, think about it? When do we ever see Piano Lady? In the SS.Oceania right before it was hijacked, then at Blacksteep Castle right before Madame X """shows up""" and then finally she settles at Mika's Cafe in GDC were the Xenpurgis is while keeping an eye on the people while still remaining incognito as just the lady who plays the piano! She's an evil genius and a hell of an actress!

    "I'm just the lady who plays the piano at Mika's Cafe, don't mind me, I am a nobody!"

  6. Standing on that spot make so that Keta won't sacrifice himself on the Mewtwo and, instead, a Mew will show up and snap Mewtwo out of it's "shadow state" creating a happy ending for Aelita where she and Keta can finally talk and understand each-other!

    Not really tho'..

    So is there anyway I can prevent using debug somehow?

    Nope!
    Only way is to load a previous save file and either choose to not go with him or, if you do, don't tell him that Flora is Bladestar

  8. Scorbuny always..
    Cinderace w/ Libero is just an OP starter, period.. Best Pokemon to put either an Assault Vest or Black Belt..
    Timmy turner's dad IF I HAD ONE! - İF İ HAD ONE 
    (Thanks, Jan!)

    His move pool is also insanely good, Pyro Ball is just physical Fire Blast with increased accuracy, like, excuse me?! It can also have a lot of coverages with High Jump Kick, Zen Headbutt, U-Turn, Sucker Punch.. All while doing STAB with a massive Atk base stat and Speed.. Seriously, what-the-fuck was GameFreak even thinking when they created this monster?!

    My best moment was when I fought Clear in the Ligo-something Engine room, I literally came in to that battle blind with Cinderace as the lead and it SWEPT her entire team with the only exception being her Naganadel for obvious reasons.. The resume of that battle:

    Spoiler

    The Stantler was done by High Jump Kick, she sends Mismagius
    The Mismagius was done by a Sucker Punch, she sends Porygon-Z
    The Porygon-Z was done by High Jump Kick, she sends Klingklang
    The Klingklang was done by Pyro Ball, she sends Beheeyem
    The Beheeyem was damage by Sucker Punch, she tries a Psychock but he turned into Dark Type, no effect, finished her off with Pyro Ball

     

  9. Elaborating..
    You need a million coins in order to advance and you're only given 10.000, the best way to farm those is by betting (aka, if you lose, YOU LOSE) your coins in the arena.
    The arena is a 3v3 and the trainers you fight are random but it's a small selection, you can increase your gains by talking to the NPCs and finding a sponsor, the best sponsor is the old man in a fedora by the left side of the casino area that can increase your gains by 10x, so just keep fighting on the arena, win and eventually you'll get there, but again, remember, you're BETTING if you lose the fight you will lose the coins too.

    Or.. You can gamble on the slots but.. It's just.. Don't, just don't.. Or else you'll take weeks in there..

    And the Reshiram, the Dragon of Resetting and Savescumming, as we play as Lavender. 

    That fight is just plain RNG..
    Even after realizing my only chance was to keep using Yawn to get it to sleep, my first two attempts on this strategy were foiled when it literally woke up by turn2 three times in a row.. Jesus.. Some fights are way too unfair.. I wish that fight was one of those were you don't need to win..

    Grass or poison has a lot of variety in early game, but the easiest has to be water, i dont know why but rejuv has a lot of water encounter in almost every chapter, other than that dark and flying is also pretty fun, the hardest to monorun is steel and dragon it doesn't have much encounter until mid to end game

    I concur.. Kinda..
    I pretty much try to capture every Pokemon in every place I go and I have renamed boxes based on Pokemon's primary typing in alphabetical order, some of these boxes needed a second one because there were so many it filled an entire box, and in my capturing spree I found that the most common types are, in order, Normal, then Water and finally Grass, with the most rare ones being, from least to most, Fairy, then Dragon and finally Flying

    Like I said above, believe it or not, actually primary Flying-type Pokemons are quite rare with only ONE I found so far being Noibat which is Flying/Dragon.. Most other Flying-types are primarily Normal-type like Pidgey, Spearow and Hoothoot which are Normal/Flying.

    Since you become a pure different type with Protean, isnt that illegal tho? 

    Not really since it's an ability and not the type itself

    Usually I like to make monoruns on Normal-type, am I the only one?..
    There's plenty of Normal-types everywhere and a lot in the beginning that make dealing things easy like the good'ol Meowth and Glameow with Fake Out for quick drops on Venam and Girafarig and Fearow to make Keta's day an absolute nightmare!
    Did you know that the majority of Flying-types are also Normal? Finding a pure Flying-type is actually pretty rare, weird, huh?

    Enemies also hit with power they really shouldnt with all cheated EVs, itemed megas and all field effects, so...

    I concur..
    A lot of Pokemons from Gym Leader have stats over the limited EV, example, Ryland's Nidoqueen literally has 252 in ALL EVs.. A lot of leaders and important battles literally cheat in order to make the game challenging, which is not really the problem, I get it, but if the game will cheat to this degree why can't we have items like Assault Vest then? The AI can literally have it while also having Pokemons with 252 EVs on everything so.. Why is it bad that we have it but not them?

    Saki Has TWO megas and a all her Pokemons surpass the 510 EV limit but I can't have a Flame Orb for my Obstagoon 👍🏻

    (PS: Love you, Jan, please don't hate me)

    Only Focus Sash triggers once, but Sturdy triggers many times as long as its HP is restored to max. Plus, Combee doesn’t need strength but strategy.

    I am pretty sure it only triggers once per KO (meaning it resets if you use Max Revive or something) but, if that's true, then that means your crest idea is terrible.. Since you can pretty much cheese every fight with Endeavor + Quick Attack since the Endeavor will totally heal it since it has low HP anyway and it heals the damage done so.. Against a player they could see that coming and plan ahead but the AI is.. The AI so it will just see "This pokemon is weak, I can KO it with this move, I will use move" and then get bodied by it..

  15. After defeating Venam you head to the Gaeren Labs, in the left section there will be a black girl in the computer, she will give you the Virtual ID and also two challenges for the 1st and 2nd gym leader, after that you need to find the other people in computers to fight the other Virtual Gym Leaders, their locations are

    1 and 2 - East Gaeren Lab
    3 and 4 - Route 3, at a trailer in the left side right after entering the Route
    5 and 6 - Terajuma, in the gym at the computer area, right side of the computer with the Porygon
    7 and 8 - Kristilline Town after the 7th badge
    Elite 4 and Champion - West Gaeren, in the lower area in a random house but only after you're allowed to leave GDC the NPC will be there

    At least if you’re not counting the move Endeavor which Combee has.

    Well, it will only be able to KO one Pokemon and then get downed, Sturdy only triggers once so it's not like it can do multiple KOs with the Endeavor + Quick Attack strat (assuming it will heal all of it's HP with the Endeavor alone)
    Also, due to it's low 70 Speed, if the enemy Pokemon also has a priority move and happens to be faster, it will go down first before actually KOing anything at all.. The idea of giving Crests to Pokemons that can't evolve because of their gender is interesting but Combee and Salandit are just trash and need a massive buff to be competitively viable
