Thanks! I am kind of limited in what I can do with the scripts but if I get the opportunity to work on those, I will. If you press F1 you can actually mute the background music and such though.

nope silver

Welcome! That's the best way to spend a summer, I think. Except not. But it's not bad! Glad you're enjoying the game c:

X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X Okay, so here we go. Our first route, and we have no Pokeballs. Let's see what we're wasting. ...Nevermind, Baka-desu Barry is making us go to the lake. I swear to god if I have to encounter a wild pokemon here... ...And it looks like 'no'. Good. Barry keeps his head today. So running through the first route. Can I make it without encountering anyting?! First patch of grass- OK Second patch of grass- shit. A wild Kricketot appeared! "And nothing of value was lost." We get to the lab, and we're finally able to name Turtwig. I've named it Jomon Sugi, after this multi-millenia-old tree: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8Dmon_Sugi And we get a Pokedex. Didn't see that one coming. So I go to the mart and pick up some Pokeballs. Yay~ Then I pop into some random house and watch TV And you know what's on TV? Some guy talking about how magical my fingers were as I was shopping That is literally the creepiest thing Are there cameras Can I sign a license form or know I'm being recorded or something holy shit all I did was buy pokeballs alert the press! oh wait you did As a note, this is actually the first time I'm playing this game in English, so this is kind of new to me. So we get to the grass of the route beyond Sandgem and our first Pokemon is... unsurprisingly, Starly! This is ok tho. We catch it. We name him Roc, uninspiredly. I am deliberately not going back to Lake Verity to catch something else. Although nothing that can ever be found there is particularly appetizing, neither is a Bidoof. Go figure the second thing we find in this grass is a Shinx >.> I remember only after getting through the whole of the route to check out our natures. Roc is... Relaxed, and Jomon Sugi is... Mild. Well neither of those are great... Whatever. I now also remember why I don't check natures usually- it leads only to disappointment :I Maybe there's a larger interpersonal issue there. I'm trying to be smart and look at where I have the best chance of encountering what Pokemon, and I'm running into a different problem: I don't -like- hardly any Sinnoh Pokemon. For whatever reason, almost everything Gen IV introduced to me feels dull and grey. Like I acknowledge their decent designs, but, ick. Ick, ick, ick. There are, of course, some exceptions but on the whole... ...Anyway, I'm going to stop cherry picking rates. I've decided to leave Route 218 open for later, but I'm pulling out Route 204. Aaaaaand it's a Bidoof. Insert flattening trombone noises here. I'll catch it anyway and name it Derpy. Next up is the Ravaged Path. And the winner is? Zubat. Female. Well of course it is. But you know what? That's fine! It's going to be very reminiscent of Mina... But we catch it. Mina followed Soma, and were both named after Castlevania characters... Let's follow that pattern through. This Zubat will be Yoko. Derpy is... Serious nature, which is somewhat ironic. I'm suddenly imagining a Bidoof in like a business suit and tie. Yoko is... Gentle. That's fine, I guess. Route 203? Loljk we have X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X RIVAL BATTLE X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X I'm thrilled, really. B: Hey! Amie! Tell me you got a little tougher! A: I got a little tougher. B: Me? Do you even need to ask? Of course I got tougher! A: I didn't need to ask... Which is why I did not, in fact, ask, B: Come on! I'll demonstrate it to you! A: Must you? Barry sends out Starly! Fortunately I know because of Roc it doesn't have Wing Attack yet. We'll use Jomon Sugi here. Jomon tackles, Starly growls. B: Don't get cocky! This isn't over yet! A: On the contrary we just started, so??????????? Tacklegrowltacklegrowltackle Starly is KO'd well THAT was challenging Barry sends out Chimchar! Roc is up now. Chimchar outspeeds and uses Scratch. But we're A-OK and Wing Attack back. Chimchar uses Leer; defense falls because Big Pecks isn't a thing. Wing Attack. B: My Pokemon's running out of HP. Things could be tight here... A: Could be? No, this is good night here. Quick Attack and Chimchar is KO'd. Roc levels up too! B: What just happened? I lost?! A: Yes. B: Waah! What do you mean I lost?! A: I mean you are out of usable Pokemon and shortly must scurry to a Pokemon center. B: Well that's it! That's the last time I'll ever lose! A: ok B: I'm going to be the world's toughest Trainer, and you know it! A: ok barry B: The first thing to do is take on the Oreburg City Pokemon Gym! A: yes, you do that barry, with your fire and you flying type. you beat that rock gym. B: I'm gonna toughen up for that, totally! A: ok barry. good bye. ...Wow I actually didn't think he'd leave when I said goodbye. I mean, not that I'm complaining... Kay, so Route 203. Pokemon? inb4 something I already have Aaaaaand it's a Bidoof. Sigh. There were at least two actually cool things I could have gotten here too, but we're going to kill this instead. Once again, the second thing I find is a Shinx. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Cannot be enough R's there. All right. Oreburgh Gate. Hoping for a not-Zubat here. You know how I said I would stop looking at rates? I lied. And I can tell you as a result I'm not going to find a Geodude. Because that's a 5% chance, where it was an 80% chance in DP. HOWEVER I do find a Psyduck and THAT is actually okay. Roc uses Tackle- and holy god it's a critical hit no wait it survived we are OK. And boom. For a nickname... Because of Psy, I was going to name it Gangam, but this is a female, so that doesn't quite feel fitting. However, I'll name it after the female K-POP star that appeared in Gangam Style, Hyuna. Incidentally, I know someone who's cat is named after the same singer, and I can't help but I feel like I'm insulting her cat... Oh well. Hyuna is... Sassy. Could be worse I guess. I shudder to imagine a Sassy Psyduck though. Comes out of its Pokeball at all the wrong times. Whenever it doesn't want to do something it just pretends it has a headache. I'm pretty sure Misty's Psyduck was secret sassy. A random trainer: "I'll beat you with the MAGIKARP my dad gave me!" Some people are destined for greatness. Others are destined for gas stations. Route 207? Something I don't have, please! Well, Machop. I was hoping for Ponyta, but I guess that's fine. Actually, that's totally fine. Machop acquired. Nickname... We're going to be uncreative because it wont' matter. Just gonna call it Anti-Roark. Oreburgh mine, and what's it going to give me? A Geodude! Jesus, these trade-evolve Pokemon are going to be the death of me. Nickname for a rock... Actually. The first thing I think of when I think of Geodude is Abraham Lincoln. I am legitimately prepared to ship a few hundred $R in the direction of anyone who gets the reference. woah the inside of the mine is a lot prettier than i remember. And so because basic abilities such as attacking rocks require badges in this game, we found ourselves at the Oreburgh gym. I've got three Pokemon SE against Rock, so I'm not even going to bother training for this. X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X AMIE vs. ROARK X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X What kind of a name is Roark anyway riot pls R: Welcome! This is the Orebugh Pokemon Gym! A: I gathered... R: I'm Roark, the Gym Leader! A: Gathered that, too... R: But I'm one trainer who decided to proudly walk with Rock-type Pokemon! As the Gym Leader, I need to see your potential as a trainer! A: Actually, if their only gauging potential, that may explain why gym leaders use so low-level Pokemon. Hm. I'll accept that. R: And I need to see the toughness of the Pokemon that battle with you! A: Yeah yeah... Roark sends out Geodude! Hyuna is up first! Water gun. Roark sends out Onix. Onix uses Stealth Rock! Glee. Water gun Aaaaand Rorark sends out Cranidos. For this, we'll switch to Anti-Roark, who takes a little bit of damage, but that's fine. R: Think you can take down the next Pokemon like you did earlier? A: I don't expect to since it doesn't have a 4x weakness, no. But it'll go down. Cranidos uses Headbutt! Anti-Roark flinches! Well. I had not planned on it being faster, and I certainly had not planned on the flinch. And further, turns out the 2 damage I took from stealth rocks may actually be the difference between life and death here. I'll use a potion to get a better sense of the power of that headbutt- it did 20 damage, but that may have been a top-range hit. Anti-Roark recovers. This time Headbutt does 19. You know what, that's fine; let's try one more time. Potion; That time it does 21. Well fuck. I'm going to lose something one way or another. Maybe. Checking out my Pokemon, despite Jomon Sugi being a lower level, it has a higher-defense than Anti-Roark, and just a few fewer HP. Okay... Let's try it. It loses 4 HP from stealth rocks coming in, and takes 17 from headbutt, but you know what? That works. Recover Jomon Sugi. Headbutt. It now has enough health to actually survive an attack, so we can rettaliate. Headbutt. ...Jomon Sugi flinched. Are you fucking kidding me. Okay. Well, fortunately we have a super potion I found earlier. I'll use that, and try this again. Headbutt. It would also be okay if you missed headbutt once in a while. But I was planning to use that Super Potion for a safe second hit; I think there may be no way for me to win this without losing someone now. Headbutt. Jomon Sugi flinched. ... Well now I have no choice but to hope it misses or does something besides Headbutt. Potion on Jomon Sugi. Headbutt. Potion. ...Pursuit! Okay, we may have an opening. Potion. Headbutt. Um, actually, I still don't have the HP to get an attack in. Potion. That was the last one. Headbutt. Still doesn't miss. ...Oh, it has 100% accuracy. And a 30% flinch rate. For some reason I thought it was 90 and 20. Wellllllll. Jomon Sugi has 18 health. Cranidos was faster than Machop, which is strange because I thought Cranidos was really slow. But that also means it's faster than everything on my team bar Roc. Which in other words, means I lose. Well. Now my best bet is that I can let Jomon die, chump Lincoln or something while I recover Anti-Roark, and hope Anti-Roark can OHKO it. Headbutt-- Jomon Sugi lives with 1 HP! ...He gets off Razor Leaf! But will it be enough oh my god it's a fucking critical hit CRANIDOS IS OHKO'D that was divine fucking intervention right there I burned 7 potions and a super potion in first gym and still legitimately thought i was going to lose the whole challenge here and now but bloody miracle oh my god i wow anti-roark levels up; you know what you learn foresight i dont care if its a shit move you do whatever the fuck you want honey R: W-what? That can't be! My buffed up Pokemon! A: I'm... as surprised as you are. In my defense it was three out of three well-timed flinches that put me in that position in the first place but holy-fucking-crap lesson learned if I'm considering training or not, DO IT. R: This is embarassing. A: You're telling me... R: I went and lost to a trainer who didn't have a single gym badge... A: ...Well if it makes you feel better I'll be the Johto region champion in a few years kind of maybe R: But that's tough. You were strong and I was weak. That's all there is. A: And I had eight potions. R: According to Pokemon League rules I have to give you our gym badge since you've beaten me, the Leader. A: pls R: Here's your official Pokemon League Coal Badge! A: Oh, glee, it's just like Christmas. im still somewhat in shock I don't think I would have won without that crit I wow

If video game habits count, then I have a bunch I have a compulsion to explore every area even in games that don't hide things in places I have to micromanage EXP I horde valuable weapons or limited-use items until I need them in the game and invariably never use them I start games all the time and never finish them And apparently I'm more in tune with my video-game bad habits than my real life ones.

I'd be okay with those stones being in the mining thing, but looking at the code I do not see that they are... I was going to add them except that for the moment they don't have graphics like the other elemental stones did because they didn't appear in 4th gen.

i wish qq but that feel when bad

you dont fuck with the fish

The ocean drifts by below, water droplets clinging to the window as the plane ducks back beneath the clouds. I stare somberly out of the window, watching the world fly by... Liddell was kind enough to get me set up with this "Professor Rowan," who's taken me on as his assistant. After his business in Kanto was finished, he allowed me to accompany him back to his home region- Sinnoh. From what I've heard of Sinnoh it's a cold, grey place. But if I have to search the darkest corners of the world to save my friends, then I will. Lithion, and Emerald- A Magneton, and a Politoed; the only survivors of my championship league victory in Johto, three years in the future. Due to my own emotional instablity, they were lost, and I was sent back to this timeline. I will find a way out though... Somehow... Liddell, a former friend from the Kanto region has stayed behind to help look for them. I'll charge on ahead. X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X Rules: Each Pokemon must be nick-named Pokemon, once fainted, must be released. Only the first Pokemon of each area encountered or gifted may be kept or caught. No exceptions. X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X Rowan finishes an interview upon arriving to Sinnoh. Pokemon are by our side? That's a funny thing to say. Mine sure seem to be gone. Despite being a former champion... Or future champion depending on your perspective, I'll have to ask the Professor for a new one before I can begin my search. He's just left to return to his lab in Sandgem town, and the briefcase with the Pokemon is-- right there! Ah, the Professor forgot it. How careless... I'll get it. R: Amie! A: Professor Rowan? You left your briefcase behind at the lake. I notice two people standing behind him, looking somewhat dumbly at us. A: ...Is something wrong here? R: Ah! There it is! Amie, nice work. What I was about to do was entrust these two with their own Pokemon. A: Wha...?! Those Pokemon are crucial. You're giving them away? R: Hm! We exist side-by-side with Pokemon. There comes a time when people should meet Pokemon. There is a world that should be explored together. For them, today is that time. The place, right here. Go on! Open the briefcase and choose a Pokemon! Boy: Really?! Professor Rowan! I can't believe it! I'm so happy now that I can't keep a straight face! R: You too, Amie. Go ahead. Right... The starter. Well. I've developed a rather strong dislike for the Piplup line, and I never cared for Chimchar in the first place... So that leaves Turtwig. Boy: Then, I choose you! I'm picking this Chimchar! Other Boy: Which leaves Piplup for me... R: Amie, this is Barry, and Lucas. And each of you has chosen a good Pokemon, it seems! If you have any trouble, come see me in my lab in Sandgem. And for now, we'll be off! A: Actually professor, I got what I came for. If there's nothing else you need of me, I'm going to go my own way. With an understanding nod, he leaves. I've decided it's better not to divulge the story about being a champion from the future and all that... Perhaps better just to pretend to be a new trainer. Lucas, however, chases after the professor, leaving me alone with the hyper active one. Glee. B: ...Hehehehehe. A: Um? B: We've both got Pokemon, right? Only one thing to do! Are you up for this? A: Sigh. If you insist... B: I've always wanted to say this... The time has finally come! I challenge you to a battle! X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X RIVAL BATTLE X~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~X Tackle! B: What in the...? That one hurt, you! A: Um, I'm sorry, did you expect your Pokemon to not take damage in a battle? Tackletackletackle Chimchar has yet to do anything but Leer. B: No way! We can keep going! This is where we hit our stride! A: ok Tackltackle It keeps using Leer- and then suddenly scratch! Aaaaaand health bar fallls, and Turtwig survives in the red. That was somehow scarily close. tackle. Turtwig levels up and la-da-da-da-dee. Barry runs off... And it's time to start looking for that Legendary Time Pokemon.

>Nami free week nooooo people will think im a scrub

I've heard she's more popular in Europe actually

no no no you stop that you sTOP THAT RIGHT NOW

oh lawdy that is like a 5% chance of elekid having it and i had tooootally forgotten about that you are one lucky son of a gun, sir

that feel when im like three games away from just playing but nothing but nami mid forever ok not really but i really really like this ok

no ikaru when i said caption it i meant the in-style captions you noobcake

yeah but you got a penta that means even though the rest of your team loses, you still win

there are no breaks on the hatetrain

Sleep? What's that? Is it a game? Welcome!

...I wouldn't count on that one. xP Welcome, though! Glad you're enjoying the game, I'll do my best to keep up to part c:

In my experience (as a player, not a developer), I've found it easiest to just focus the hell out of ZEL's pokemon, completely ignoring Lileep. As it is, it's virtually harmless aside from Confuse Ray, so I just let it be worthless and treat it like a 2v1 until the real threats of the Eeveelutions are deleted.

Maybe just in case, try deleting all of your old game files from the previous episodes (your Save file is stored elsewhere, so no need to worry about that) to make sure that they're gone and can't interfere- and then try downloading the full version of Episode 8 again.
