Foamy

I mean, if we tried to enter the place now, we'd most likely end up getting frozen in time like Adrienn was, since we don't have any of the keys at the moment. So it's probably for the best.

Noooo, leave it as is! The game is more of a challenge that way~

If Episode 16 does come out close to November 18th, then you'll have something to play when you're done with Sun and Moon. (It's not like Sun and Moon are going to occupy more than a few weeks anyway)

I think he's talking about relationship variables not being influenced by playthroughs of events in previous episodes.

It's because Magnezone has an auto-win against Arceus (in the form of Sturdy + Mirror Coat) while also being a really, really good Pokémon in its own right. Yeah, you can beat Arceus with gimmicks, but when those one-shot gimmicks can also be incorporated into the set for a Pokémon whose usefulness never diminishes, then it makes the boss fight a little too easy. (Arceus doesn't hold a Dread Plate? It just holds Leftovers?) I Toxic-stalled it to death with a Blissey, hue

The Sapphire Bracelets were given to Laura by their mother, Caroline Belrose. Laura said that she "lost them after the fire."

And this is one of the many reasons why Magnezone was moved past the Arceus fight.

My favorites just so happen to be all the strong ones :B "Strong" and "weak" is also a perception of statistics. You can argue that Venusaur isn't stronger than Bulbasaur, or that Manaphy isn't stronger than Phione, but base stat totals indicate that one of these is strictly better than the other, regardless of personal preference.

Why are you telling him to stop when he only did it the one time?

The thing with this game is that it heavily suggests (heck, it almost requires) that you learn to adapt and improve as a Pokémon player. If you use the same methods here that you use in a casual playthrough, you're going to have a very rough time. That's when you start thinking, "Well, my usual strategy isn't working, but what if I try something else that requires more forethought or understanding of the game mechanics?" For instance, I beat Arceus back when it was still Level 80 by hitting it with Toxic until El ran out of Full Heals, then eating up all of its Focus Blasts with Blissey. It turns out that a Level 48 Blissey takes a little under 66% from a Focus Blast from a Level 80 Arceus, which means it can set up a Light Screen and start outracing Focus Blast damage with Soft-Boiled heals. (It is also worth noting that I do not use any Potions, Revives, etc. in my Reborn run. I restrict myself only to hold items.)

"Sweet Kiss and Draining Kiss cure sleep" So much flavor "I did say that we would be saying goodbye to a certain character. But if I were going to be a little more precise, I should say... It's not just one." rip ZEL

I didn't want to say anything, but... Yeah, you pretty much just summed it up here.

thicc!amaria I am in love

Eyyy I made top 10, go me~

I'm guessing it'll either be Looker, Steven Stone, or Nurse Joy (Nurse Joy counts right)

The placement of Julia's hand made me think that she would cop a little feel ;D

EYYYYY PAGE 200 LESGOOOOO PULSE Diglett evolves into PULSE Dugtrio

"Until then, I'll be waaaaatching yoooouuuuuu" (aaaaaaaa jasmi my love my SUNSHINE)

That's why Mysidia references are being removed from E16 It's been a rough breakup

Or just leave it as is because that makes for a much better challenge~

I'm sure Solaris remembers. That's what his family line is all about, after all.

See, this is why prior clarification is important. When you preface your statement with a critique of my example, you frame your entire post as an address to me.

If you think that the focus of that example was Weavile, then you need to learn how to properly assess statements. It wasn't an optimal example, but the species of the Pokémon in a theoretical scenario isn't the point. There are many similar anecdotes which occur all the time. I used Weavile as an example because it was the first Pokémon that came to mind. And yeah, you're explaining competitive battling mechanics to someone who's been battling competitively for over a decade. Ultimately, I won't fret if IV-altering features aren't added, but I also won't mind if they are. It's just annoying when my Pokémon aren't as good as they could be due to a semi-random game mechanic that the player has little control over.

Individuality is irrelevant. We're not talking about people. We are talking about game constructs which are defined by a series of numbers. These numbers are the only things that matter from a competitive standpoint, so if a Pokémon is not the best that it can be, then why use it? Let's say I breed a Weavile with a Jolly nature and the following IVs: HP: 31 Attack: 31 Defense: 31 Special Attack: 31 Special Defense: 31 Speed: 29 You can't use this competitively. Its Speed isn't as high as it could be, and therefore it will be outsped and OHKO'd by every other Weavile that it faces. It is strictly worse than a Weavile with 31 Speed IVs, because it loses every single time. Besides, this "individuality" that you're praising isn't even visibly apparent. It's a value that's hidden under normal circumstances. It doesn't add individuality to them - it adds unnecessary variance in the form of different thresholds and capabilities. Let's say that Human A and Human B are genetically and functionally identical, except Human A can lift 200 pounds and run 15 miles per hour while Human B can lift 205 pounds and run 16 miles per hour. In this scenario, Human B is strictly better than Human A. They're still the exact same person, except one of them performs slightly better than the other. I think the track is called "Atmosphere - Smoke.mp3" It's just slowed down when it plays in Tanzan Mountain.

IVs are a stupid and unnecessary mechanic that only result in making some Pokémon strictly worse than others and I hate them. In that vein, I welcome any changes that make IVs as close to nonexistent as possible. HA ALL YOU NAYSAYERS TOLD ME I WAS FULL OF SHIT Well look who's laughing now (Being put in the Items pocket instead of the Key Items pocket is suspicious tho)
