i personally thought this was funny, but for the life of me, don't take it seriously.

Love: Ametrine City. it's the first place where there was actual snow, and i love snow. and i still remember the first time i walked into the town with the music playing and then i heard the Kingdom Hearts element in it. i utterly flipped out screeching in joy, haha. Hate: Byxbysion Wasteland. the music's terrible. :[ it grated on my ears so i replaced it with the Ametrine City music. no seriously also, it was especially irritating back when venipede would always ambush you whenever you walked past one of the trees. thank god that was taken down some recently.

there are so many things wrong with that image i can't even

you could always get a politoad right now -- just save on the 10th floor of the department store (if you have all of the stickers), transfer your file to E13, and then enjoy being free to buy your king's rock. (and some other things. if you want. :] ) be sure to save after and transfer your file while still in the building though, or else your game will probably crash. and as always, switching between episodes carries the risk of save file corruption.

my brain's not cooperating with me at the moment, so i'm having a tough time remembering what books i've read. uvu" but the Chaos Walking series and More Than This by Patrick Ness, the Unwind Dystology and Skinjacker Trilogy by Neal Shusterman, and most things by Scott Westerfeld were pretty good when i read them. Chris Crutcher is also a good author, although i've only read one of his books so far (Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes). he's realistic fiction, though. and if you don't mind some steampunk, there's also the Finishing School series by Gail Carriger, which takes place in the same universe as some of her other books. also, i second Ark's earlier suggestions. i've read and enjoyed both I Am the Messenger (by the same author as The Book Thief) and The Giver. :]

oh man -rubs hands- this is the right question to ask me. Dobby and Kuro have the right ideas. the Dresden Files (and the Codex Alera for that matter) by Jim Butcher, and the Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss are great. read them. now. go to the nearest library or bookstore right now and track them down. you won't regret it. (except for maybe Kingkiller Chronicle, but that's because Rothfuss takes forever to write his books.) i like some of the other suggestions. PJO/HoO are a good read, especially if you don't mind that they're aimed towards younger readers. Simon's got some good ones too -- i've read all but Vladimir Tod, and i personally didn't like Eragon that much (though i read the whole series), but i'm sure you'll like them. personally, i really like Brandon Sanderson's books. you should try those out. others i liked... well, based on the series you've mentioned, have you read Legend by Marie Lu yet? there's also the Virals series by Kathy Reichs, literally everything written by Terry Pratchett, and i also enjoyed Uncaged by John Sandford, but i haven't read any of his other books. The Book Thief is also great. (and you've read the Young Wizards series, nice.) i'm sure i could think up more if i tried, but this is a massive list already if you take into account the fact that i recommended everything Terry Pratchett's written (which is a lot). :] if you can specify what kinds of things you liked in books, too, i could probably help out more.

you could always change the dates on your computer for the grand hall trainers; just keep it within the current week, because messing around with the dates too often has some annoying side-effects like messed-up weather. and the unknown under the grand stairway are usually recommended, even though i've never used it to grind myself.

i wish i knew anything about coding so i could help out there. p: but it looks like you've used a tasmanian devil without having a tasmanian tiger counterpart?? shame on you. anyway, you haven't released anything about whatever was inspired by the former, so i wouldn't know what to suggest. but i notice that you don't have many electric types. :] also, when was the last time we had anything based on coral? (not really counting binacle and its line, since it's based on barnacles and therefore not considered coral.) and with australia right by the world's largest coral reef, maybe we need a reference to that. all i've got as an idea though is the pokemon having multiple evolutions, with the first stage being a single polyp. typing's a bit tough, since you've got a lot of the more obvious ones already. uvu" maybe starting out as a water/rock before switching to electric/rock? (i'm really liking my electric types today.) or maybe use soft corals as inspiration instead, to stand out from corsola, and replace/remove the rock typing. australia also had a gold rush back in the day, so maybe a pokemon based on the idea of gold panning?

make it easier on yourself and include the egg group Dragon in that mono-run. it's actually what i did and kind of fun. (more fun than using a team of noibats will be, at least. :] )

i think you might need 14.6 to be able to enter; it worked for me. but all that's in there is so if Chubb's right instead, it's not a big issue to just wait.

bellossom could work, as well as lilligant, castform, and inkay (available through headbutting trees in the wasteland). there's also sewaddle, riolu, mienfoo, amaura, corsola, wooper, phanphy, misdreavus, mawile, emolga, swablu, mareep, spoink, chimecho, and gothita (sorry for the long list). i can't really be sure of what you think of as 'cute', though. all of these are available, and you can find out where they all are by looking through the pinned location guide or walkthrough. :] and there's always a list of all available pokemon, the link of which is on the sidebar and labeled 'obtainable pokemon'. as for starters, almost all of them look cute during their first evolution, so you've got a lot of variety there if you don't mind never evolving it. otherwise, there's possibly meganium, quilava, quilladin, and braixen.

they're in 7th street, south-west corner i believe? it's the building where the robed arceus worshipper was standing and accusing them of being a false prophet or something of that sort.

you should be able to grab one in tanzan mountain, in the tunnels carved out by the giant steelix after the meteor base has collapsed. it'll be up north, iirc, where there should be a metal beam you can walk across to retrieve a metal coat.

just to point these out: dragalge is actually not available yet for this person, since it currently requires a good rod to fish one up (and is unavailable to someone only at kiki). noibat isn't much help unless you want to lower everyone's accuracy, and since noibat is still a first-stage evo at this point in the game, it's really outclassed stat-wise. amoongus is also not available; you can't travel to azurine island until after defeating kiki.

also, if you're interested in a pure power medicham (despite that gallade), you can grab a meditite from apophyll academy by listening to all of the students' lectures and then talking to someone on the west wall.

pre-ep.13, only the father can pass on egg moves. that makes what you're describing impossible.

in your folder, there should be a document listing the episode and the most recent updates for that episode. you could look there. and the game is updated to ORAS mechanics, although there are still a few things here and there that's been missed.

also, you can pick up a ducklett egg in the obsidia park pre-deforestation, but after that it's gone. duckletts are catchable in the wild by about mid-game, though.

it's about 1%, yeah. at least until you find the shiny charm, which should increase the chance to 3% if i'm remembering correctly.

this "cute" Charlotte clashes so much with her actual "i don't give a damn", cig-smoking image in-game. that said, this wallpaper looks great. :] her right hand though. they really are an artist's bane

you can find them in mining rocks, and they're purchasable on the third floor of the obsidia department store.

first off, there is a thread that's meant to help with these problems. it's called the official gym leader help thread and it's tagged at the top of this subforum. i never had trouble with noel and i'm not that useful with teams in general, so i'll be of limited help. but have you tried lighting the field on fire yet? you can do that with charizard's flame burst. in this field, fire-type moves in general are also boosted against grounded pokemon by 1.5x, which could help for about 2/3 of noel's team. you could also try battling him on a sunny day (forecasts for the week are on the tvs) and see if your charizard's solar power and leavanny's chlorophyll can help. (don't use leavanny with a lit field though; it'll take 4x field damage per turn, as it's type-scaling.) and why have a prankster meowstic if you're not going to take advantage of that? if you have access to the move relearner, reteach it reflect and light screen (and slap on a light clay if you have one). if you've got the heart scales, fake out could also be helpful. general grinding might also be helpful if you think you need it; the level cap at this point should be 55, guessing by your current levels.
