I am pretty sure it is just a slight story change/fight Flora instead of Florin, that is it really. It also prevents you from accidently picking the option that gives you bad ending points, since you have to expose her for that to happen.

100% a defensive + special defense spread and nature to one of them. Choose attack or special attack and have the nature lower the one you don't choose and raise defense or special defense for max value. Moves: - Scald/Surf (scald is better but you might not have it unless you got all the stamps) - Substitute (again you need all the stamps) - Dazzling Gleam (coverage option) - Filler, you could try whirlpool here for chip damage maybe?

Yeah then that is why. The early game got reworked, in V12, you went to the sewers then to route 1, then to gym 1, but in V13, you go into the sewers, then gym 1. So yeah, you probably need to start over...

Probably not? How did you even get to route 1 and for that matter, route 2, before Venam? That should be impossible! Are you maybe playing on an not updated version or something? You could load an old save from before you went to route 1, this would at least reduce the amount of resetting you would need to do. You can do this by going into the save shortcut folder, then renaming one of the backup saves to whatever your save file is called, it will need to be renamed to "Game.rxdata" but only if this is your first save, If you have multiple save files then be sure to rename it to whatever number of save file you are on, so I.E. if this is your second save then it would be "Game_2.rxdata" instead. Hope that helps.

Yeah I am pretty sure it is implied that when he got blown to bits, the evil spirt thing left him. I agree that it was done poorly, that sort of thing kind of needs an explicit explanation... As for guns which other people mentioned, they are kind of a pointless weapon when you can instead just using a giant dragon to kill people instead... Not to mention that Pokemon would be considered non-suspicious in public areas while a gun is much more suspicious. In other words a gun is a bit of a pointless weapon to try and use. And yes, non-shadow pokemon DO attack people. Melia attacks people multiple times with her Pokemon, she doesn't kill them, but you probably COULD.

You need to go to Axis High first. The game tells you to find Melia and ERIN, erin is at the northmost part of the city, so go there first.

Yeah, there should be a way to change it for sure. But there is no way to have natural hidden powers unless you make it random.

Because you let someone get murdered, of course that is going to get you bad karma points?! You also get 10 points toward the bad ending, so its not just bad karma. Just because she did something bad doesn't mean she deserves to die. There is a reason why hero characters like Batman, don't kill, even mass murderers like the Joker. Edit: saving her is the better option anyway, since you get life orb. Unless of course, you want the bad ending...

I mean it would not be that hard to change the way hidden power works... if you just make it be a 1/18 chance for each type. Easy fix. As for trick room? Sure, but it won't matter much in the grand scheme of things, trick room teams use slower pokemon anyway, so a trick room team will (almost) always be "faster" than your Pokemon anyway... I honestly, think IVs are really annoying, I always just use debug to max out my IVs + Optimize natures, after I get ditto + destiny knot (after 8th gym), because it is a massive edge to have maxed IVs + natures. They are also free to max out, since it costs like a few hundred money per mon, to max out an IV if you use breeding. The only cost is that it wastes a HUGE amount of your time, as in many hours per Pokemon, and in a game like this where your team might be as big as 20+ members (Yes, my Evil run in v13 really had this many members, my fairy mono run I am doing right now has even more), this is a obscene time investment that is just tedious busy work, which is why I cheat to skip it.

Well Zygrade is already available granted just in 10% form, which doesn't really count. Phione is also a thing. As for most other legendries? I doubt we will get ANY (strong ones) until post game, they would just be literally better than any other Pokemon you could ever use. The only story relevant ones are Arceus (which would be VERY broken, since it would be 100 power STAB and ANY type you want at any time) or Xernes (which would also be very broken because of Geomany + herb, which can be bought in bulk in GDC). Note: Xernes is story relevant since it has statues in several places, also it is the enemy of Madame X's legendary, so it would be fitting for them to fight. So yeah, I doubt they will be implemented any time soon. If they are added it will probably be post game content, and I imagine they would just be found in other areas you have been too before, or maybe new sidequests would open up that unlock them.

Well good on you for figuring it out! You might want to go and do all the dive related stuff now, (including one sidequest that gets you the life orb!), since it opens up after badge 13! You might also want to pay a visit to East Gearen city if you have not already... you will find a nice surprise there!

Most Pokemon are 1/100, but in all of my three runs I have never seen a shiny starter (and I reset at least 30+ times for good IVs and nature each save). So I imagine I am just unlucky or the odds of a shiny starter are lower.

You literally picked the best starter lol. Hidden abilities are available and Blazikan with speed boost + bulk up, is broken. The runner ups for best starter are Greninja (Protean), Cinderace (Libero) and Rillaboom (grassy surge)

Wait egg moves are heart scale able? Did not know that... And yeah, I know about that character but that costs money. Breeding is free, just time consuming (or just free if your a filthy cheater like me). I was just using it as an example of why someone might want additional ice stones.

OH those two. I think its only twice? They are the most minor of minor characters lol.

The higher floors do not sell ice stones tho, that is the point of this post. As for why you would want more... 1. You want to IV breed/Egg move breed them, without more ice stones you are out of luck 2. You want to use both of them, but were unlucky and did not get the ice stone earlier in the game (it is 1/3 chance), in this case you literally CANT get both of them. 3. You want to use multiple of them in one fight for some cheesy boss plan. For example, multiple Aloan Ninetails would actually be pretty good against Ryland, you would just need to bring something for his pesky crested mon. Those are the main reasons I can think of off the top of my head.

No idea who that is. The two duos are Eli and Sharon (which are only even skippable in ch14) and Sam and Alex (which are only skippable in ch 8). No idea who the people you bring up are.

You mean HM moves right? There are items you can buy with AP in game that do exactly that. You can probably use debug mode mod to add them to your inventory/add the AP. That would let you achieve the same result. EDIT: Specifically I mean the golden items.

I used Dedenne with elemental seed, on Souta too, its purpose was to let Slurpuff belly drum. Nuzzle broke the skarmory sturdy, and then I just needed it to get full para'd on my next turn. I only managed to kill 4 of his mons with Slurpuff before play rough missed.... so technically I did not actually sweep but w/e. But yeah Dedenne (and pretty much any fast pokemon that can paralyze, is god like in this game. So many fast mons that get shut down by it, and it allows for cheese. As for the quick claw strategy, that makes sense now. Initially I was using a Rimbombee with sticky web (breed with Sewadle) on my team, so it did not outspeed my Gardevoir, but as you can see from the image, that got cut in the winning attempt. Sticky web Rimbombee is very good, would def recommend.

The interviewers don't know any of the main cast, so it wouldn't be THAT hard. Also, Risa Rider in Zone Zero says that Venam and Aelita showed up at the tournament, but Venam did not act like herself. So they clearly did not try that hard to impersonate any of you...

That is an interesting strategy, how did that help you exactly? The steel types were the real problem for me and I can't see my Gardevoir being too useful there even if it gets the quick claw proc, since one thunder raid or iron head takes it out... But, Yeah this was the hardest fight so far for me. Nothing else has been this hard before or since then. Rift Garbage Can was easy with Melia's help, Florin was easy cause the field boost fairy moves, and double boosts moonblast, Vivian and Souta got swept by bellydrum + unburden + sitrus berry Slurpuff (use this shit its broken lol), Angel of Death was easy because its weak to fairy lul, and so many fairies have good special defense, Adam was tricky but Prankster Klefki with thunderwave on his mega was enough to win that one. Valarie is probably my runner up for the second hardest fight since she has is mono poison and the field helps her, she makes GDC Venam look like a cakewalk... Still have not reached Saki yet, that is gonna suck lol, nor have I beaten Aya, she is gonna be a pain in the ass, probably going to need some cheese...

bruh. I literally told you how to fix it in the other post you made. Go look at that lol I will copy and paste what I said there: Yeah you need to load an old save, the devs have not fixed this for whatever reason... Check the save file shortcut folder and rename one of the backups to whatever your save is called (should be something like Game.rxdata) The correct choice is said by Meilane in ORANGE TEXT, so do that instead if you want the best result. If your too lazy to read the text, then the best option is to

They seem to not be on the same side, but when they ask you to join you, it brings up two pictures for you to choose from, one of which shows those two AND madame X, the other shows your friends. If they are not really on the same side, then the chosen image is a bit weird... As for the tournament interference thing, I guess maybe, how would you even get in without a ticket, I guess you could force your way in, but stopping bombs from being detonated remotely seems beyond your powers, especially since you don't even know where Flora is (unless you joined bladestar). I am guessing it was the puppet master who forced you to go to the tournament then, since they were the one who gave Melia and Erin the tickets?

So continuing my replaying of this game, a few extra things came to my mind that I think are worth mentioning. 1. Risa is known to actively fight team Xen, and when your in Zone Zero she attacks Ren for this reason. But that Risa is actually Clear (or was it Kieran, I honestly get the two mixed up lol), the point is that further suggests to me that those two are not really on the same side as Madame X... Afterall if she was then why even bother fighting Team Xen, just be a pop-star or whatever, and keep your disguise simple. Unless of course, the "real" Risa also fought Team Xen, but they only really became active recently, so that doesn't really logically line up, especially considering the real Risa was dying, and in no condition to fight Team Xen... 2. What is up with the forced entry into the tournament? Like literally nothing comes of it, nothing happens at the tournament, and the people in your group that don't show up to it get impersonated by presumably those two dittos or Clear/Kieran, meaning there were no consequences for not showing up. Like, what was the point of someone forcing all of the party to enter? Like the only thing that happens at the same time is the ballroom explosion, but its not like you being entered into the tournament caused that to happen. What I am trying to say is, if you did not get entered into the tournament, the ballroom would have still went "BOOM" and the story would have progressed as normal, minus a gym battle. So was that there goal, to get you to get another badge? Otherwise, I can't think of anything that makes much sense...

Yeah I think those used to be for getting Beldum in v12. Not sure what they do now tbh. But maybe they will be repurposed here?
