So out of curiosity, how will starters be handled? Like obviously you'd choose one at the beginning, but if you're going for all 151 regional Pokemon and there's no trading, then will they be handled in a manner similar to XY where you can obtain both of the other starter lines in the post game? Or well they be usable well before that?

Building off Aqua's idea, the 10% form could also be used as a faster scout for advanced reconnaissance when something comes up so Zygarde can keep tabs on a developing situation while gathering in all the other cells since the dog has already been said to be quite fast.

I like the Garde dog and the original one the most. The Golurk on sterorids just seems too over the top to me and the blob just doesn't appeal. Also, if Serena is getting an Eevee, I've got a feeling it will end up being a Sylveon because Gen VI.

It looks like it's encouraging people to actually GO out into the world and be more active while playing pokemon to sorta simulate an actual Pokemon adventure, which, to be honest, is a really neat idea. How it will actually be in application remains to be seen, but I'm all aboard the concept.

sorry about the wait, folks. I ended up getting caught in real life concerns and kinda forgot RP existed for a bit. I'm back now, though.

With him charge released to the tender mercies of her former victims and his pay collected, Mark turned to the road he had just dragged his adversary down, only to find a peculiar Abra standing in his path, blocking the way to the capitol. The Abra reached out psychically and reached out his hand towards Mark in an offering. "​I have been sent to gather the able bodied Senators and soldiers to convene in The Hall of Freedom. Will you answer the call?" For once, Mark was rather astounded by his own good luck. Normally, such matters of chance conspired against him, but it would seem that a timely draft would save him countless miles of walking. Naturally, he gave the Abra a quick nod of confirmation and took the three fingered hand in his own before being whisked away through space through the dizzying powers of Teleportation. His stomach lurched with the sudden jolt of motion and Mark fought to keep his hard earned meals down. As quickly as it began, the trip through space ended without warning, leaving Mark to stumble a step due to losing his sense of direction mid-Teleport. He quickly regained his composure and took in where he was. The sights, the sounds, the smells. There was no doubt about it. This was home, the capitol city of Nalin. Yet despite being home for the first time in years, Mark could not help but feel a doubled sense of urgency as his own personal mission and the seemingly new crisis were rapidly approaching and each passing moment seemed to increase Mark's desire to find out just what was going on that required all available Senators and able bodied conscripts to be summoned from all over the Republic. The Abra had gotten him as close as the entrance hall to the Hall of Freedom. There was just a short distance before he joined ranks with some of, if not the, most influential people in the entirety of Nalin. His footsteps echoed across the exalted entrance hall until he finally paused a moment besides the door to the Hall of Freedom. This was his final opportunity to steel himself for the trials to come. Okay, Mark. Remember, breathe. Be confident. It's just like chatting with strangers. Except these strangers could have you beheaded. Er...happy thoughts. With a deceivingly confident push, Mark opened the doors to the Hall of Freedom. Inside, Chancellor Rhombus waited along with a Gardevoir, who could only have been the esteemed Ariel Ringo. A Lucario, Gothitelle, and Garchomp had already entered the room and were waiting along side the Chancellor and Senator for others who were summoned to trickle in slowly. The opening of the doors was less subtle than Mark would have liked, but at least it allowed the others to become aware of his presence. Careful not to allow his nervousness show, Mark walked up to the group and bowed deeply. "My name's Mark. As for what I did to be important enough to be invited here, well, I've got no clue." Mark let out a nervous grin, hoping that his meager attempt at humor would help brake the ice of anticipation.

I think I've fallen in love with Hone Claws Zekrom. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/battlefactory-268863848

For me, Episode 13 Charolette was the easiest by far. Yeah yeah, I know. I'm crazy. But the simple truth is Greninja allowed me to easily set up Rain Dance, get the Rainbow Field up, and then sweep with Pyroar.

I personally believe that it's an intriguing route to go down and science has always fascinated me. That being said, there becomes a point where you either need to stop where you are or ditch your hunanity in the dust. Even in Shadowrun, this is acknowledged through the form of "essence" which measures how metahuman you are. More essence (max of six) is closer towards being a normal person and less comes from cybernetic implementation. One you lose essence, it's gone and there is no going back. And while Racter may think that his particular sect of insanity will be able to surpass the essence limit, that remains to be seen. He could very well just be an astral anomaly. But I digress. Basically, I believe that such augmentation is perfectly fine so long as one does not cross the line in the sand between a living being into the state of that of a drone.

Ah so the end game will be in the desert? 0/10 too little water I'm just kidding, of course. I'm very much looking forward to the impending release of episode 1.

Hey Ame, could we potentially have a special move tutor in-game that you have to do a crazy quest to unlock that then teaches the move Celebrate to your pokemon since it's event only?

I'm one of the people who has been trying to work his schedule around with school and other pursuits, so I certainly understand the sentiment. That being said, I would say that we ought to finish Week 10 before closing out the season if onpy to give people a warning as to "This is your last shot, make it count" since I'm certain people would fight on harder if they knew that the end was nigh. So my vote goes to finish Week 10, then playoffs.

Week 9 Sapphire/Ruby Division AuthorReborn vs. 99 Losses (0-2) http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/reborn-ou-30818 gg, it was pretty close there.

Since the OP is at Corey, thatm eans he has access to Growlithe, which is far better than Pansear in terms of being a pokemon and also as an investment of a Fire Stone. Growlithe also learns Crunch to help with Psychic types (even though that's really a nonissue with Scraggy) and his Intimidate can help wall most Fighting-types bar say a Special Lucario, which is handled with Fire STAB. In terms of physical attacks replacing Persian, you might try Ursaring, which completely cleaves through Corey due to Guts and Quick Feet when combined with Facade from the Game Corner.

Keep up the good work guys and congrats!

I didn't really start getting into competative pokemon until the close of XY, so keep that in mind as you read my opinion. I personally feel that mega evolution was a nice addition that was used to breathe a bit of new life into the franchise and make some of the cool mons that just we just plain bad before into solid pokemon. I remember that the first video I watched that got me interesting in pokemon again after stopping after HGSS was shofu's compilation of all the mega evolutions in XY. They were new, they were interesting, they were grand and expanding on all sorts of pokemon which otherwise looked like dead ends. Charizard was really cool pre-XY, but with half his health being lost just by coming on rocks and his stats we're enough to justify using him until his megas came along. I personally believe he should have gotten just one mega, but oh well. The fans must be served, I guess. (On a side note, I think since Zard's dual megas came about due to being a fan favorite, I'd like to point out the possibility of dual megas for Flygon due to the unanimous popularity. I suspect we'll have Dragon/Bug as well as a Dragon/Ground, but I digress.) Still, megas were a nice way to improve a lot of pokemon. Do I believe that we should have simply gotten megas for some of them? You bet. But why would they incorporate mega evolution for pokemon like Charizard and Blastoise and then add unique evolutions for pokemon like Mawile when they were already implementing a system to further evolution through megas? It seems like the logical step is to just reuse the mega idea for Mawile and the like to save a bit of work.
