Ice Cream Sand Witch

The planet is aglow with sonar energy. This life is nothing short of an evolving osmosis of psychic wonder. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is growth. Although you may not realize it, you are conscious. Reality has always been buzzing with warriors whose essences are nurtured by intuition. We are in the midst of a non-local awakening of life that will enable us to access the quantum soup itself. Humankind has nothing to lose. Presence is the driver of being. Beauty is a constant. We exist as supercharged waveforms. You must take a stand against illusion. We can no longer afford to live with ego. Where there is selfishness, rebirth cannot thrive. Dogma is the antithesis of empathy. The akashic record may be the solution to what’s holding you back from an ecstatic metamorphosis of stardust. As you dream, you will enter into infinite potential that transcends understanding. Through alternative medicine, our brains are enveloped in transcendence. By maturing, we self-actualize. Nothing is impossible. You and I are dreamweavers of the galaxy.

I'm not sure. I could see it going either way. On one hand, it seems like he started to not like what he had to do as part of Team Xen towards the end, which could lead to something in the future where he tries to make up for what he did? But on the other, he was already captured once and then escaped before Crescent turned him back to a Solosis, so it would be repetitive if he ended up free/as Zetta again. All four of the lights are not born of man.

I don't really see a reason there'd be another meaning of "Elite" besides the E4. Having a term referring to someone who beat the E4 but lost to the Champion, or who beat the gym leaders but didn't beat the E4, is extremely specific and unnecessary imo. The club is also open to gym leaders and E4, and Arclight said "I didn't say it was the easiest way" when he told us about beating the league to get into the nightclub, implying there are other ways to get into the nightclub besides being the Champion.

I also mentioned Serra not recognizing El as E4, which I think is on the same level as not knowing the Champion. It seems like Reborn league members don't have meetings/aren't obligated to know who the others are.

About the not recognizing Lin as Champion point, Saphira didn't know who Shelly was despite them both being Gym Leaders, always calling her "other girl" and Serra didn't recognize El as one of the E4. (not saying Lin is the Champion, just saying that league members have not recognized each other before)

But he was "not born of man" like the light prophecy says, so he's a possible candidate. The prophecy doesn't say clones can't be the ones.

From my experience, PETA is universally disliked by liberals and conservatives and everyone else. And for good reason.

I also just remembered when reading this that the light prophecy mentions four who were "not born of man". Although I thought Crescent could be the player's real mom, the player can't have biological parents if we're part of the light prophecy (unless man in this case literally means males and Crescent or someone else gave birth without a father). Melia I think is definitely one of the lights. Interestingly, since Zetta wasn't really born of man being a Solosis, it's possible he's a light too (like the TV Tropes page mentions, he seems to start questioning his actions near the end of his time as a human). Also! Aelita wasn't listed as Keta's heir, and the Eldest said she has a good reason for not letting her become Sensei which she can't tell her. Maybe Keta's not her real dad? . o . I could see Kanon being either light or shadow. On one hand he intercepted the orb mission because he was told they were the cause of the world's future destruction (which is mentioned in the shadow prophecy), but on the other, he seems to be easily influenced by Madame X (his diary mentions Irvine looking concerned, and there's boxes in his house closing off a book and a Garufa symbol). Like Ren, he also has some emotional flaws (he was easily provoked by what Venam said about Melia and didn't give her a chance to explain herself). I guess if he's a shadow he'd be Obsession, considering he seems to have one for Melia. Betrayal is taken by Ren, Raw Evil doesn't fit because he cares about the world, and he doesn't really seem greedy. We don't know the qualities of the lights yet, but I'm guessing they're the opposite of the shadow traits. So Pure Goodness instead of Raw Evil, Loyalty instead of Betrayal, Charity instead of Greed, and whatever the opposite of obsession is. If I had to guess, I'd say the lights are the player, Melia, Aelita, and either Zetta or someone we haven't met yet. And for the shadows Raw Evil - Gardevoir Betrayal - Ren Obsession - Kanon, Angie, Cera, or Vitus/Indriad Greed - Madelis or Mr. Blakeory EDIT: Wait Kanon has parents he can't be a light

How come in this picture Girafarig's back half is the same as its front half instead of the little black chain chomp tail?

This is the thread for Pokemon Full Moon.

One thing I didn't like about Light Platinum is how several NPCs had the same dialogue. Eventually I just stopped talking to people because there was like a 50% chance what they say will be what 5 other NPCs said.

1. I know about that (and I think it's possible Crescent is the player's real mom because of that scene), but it's possible she didn't recognize the player because it was in the past. Vitus/Indriad, Maria, and Anastasia don't recognize you in the past. 3) Yeah, I think this is the least likely possibility I mentioned. The connections are that it's a Gardevoir and that Vitus/Indriad has the prophecies in his mansion (and asks Venam's group if they know about them), implying his plans maybe involve them. But Kanon did say they were cause of the future destruction of the world, which is closer to the shadow prophecy than the light prophecy. Gardevoir actually is probably the closest character that could fit the shadow of "Raw Evil", now that I think about it.

Would you play a game where your main weapon is a feather and you subdue enemies by tickling them?

It was said about mega evolution in-game too, IIRC. That was their reason for not including customization in ORAS, but now it's back in SM. I wonder if they decided to put it back in after seeing how much people missed it, or if they planned to use it in the future from the beginning and hid it to not spoil the surprise.

It would be odd to me if Mega Evolution was completely removed, since they've never taken away any kind of Pokemon forms before (ex: Deoxys and Rotom have always had access to their forms since those forms were introduced). I did think it wasn't going to return in ORAS because I remember it being said it's a Kalos thing, but then they came back so I thought "Ok it's here to stay".

That's the end of the quest as of right now.

So far, it's only appeared in the past. I don't think it's Madame X since Kanon said a woman in a mask told him they were the cause of the world's destruction in the future before trying to fight Gardevoir. Some other possibilities I've thought of are 1) The Gardevoir is Crescent's. Crescent seems like a Psychic trainer and has talked through her Gothitelle before 2) Like Braixen, the Gardevoir has been given the ability to talk through Blakeory technology 3) The prophecy of light in the hidden library was written on a Gardevoir statue, and the prophecy of darkness is on an Absol statue. Maybe the Gardevoir and Absol on those statues depict a specific special Gardevoir and Absol, and this is that Gardevoir?

But you're not allowed to challenge the E4 if you don't have any badges.

How do we know he didn't challenge the gyms?

Earlier in the year they were showing extremely little and teasing a lot (tune in next time where we'll tell you to tune in next time for new info!), so I'm glad that's changed.

How many Pumpkaboo is the correct amount?

It fits her perfectly.

Blue isn't the only rival to have challenged the league. Wally, Barry, Bianca (although she changed her route), Cheren, N, Hugh, and Calem/Serena also did. Silver never explicitly mentioned challenging gyms, but since he got to the Indigo Plateau I assume he did.

Thanks to an amazing spriter known as Palletite, the trainer sprites for episode 1 have been completely redone! I've uploaded a 1.5 version that has the new sprites. (I also added bicycle music) Spriting/art is by far my weakest area, so I'm eternally grateful to Palletite for offering assistance! I hope you all love the new sprites as much as I do! Here are some examples of the redone sprites. These are the player characters and the Team Portal grunts.
