Ice Cream Sand Witch

IIRC, when Ame posted this picture she said these were the ones she had done up to that point in time (meaning not the final values). Also it's possible the hidden first line isn't actually a person but the name of the code used for relationship variables.

TIL in 2005 a group of artists knitted a 200 foot long bunny in Italy and left it there.

Another connection is that if you speak with the officers blocking off the south exit to Kugearen, they mention a meteor. Deoxys is commonly associated with meteors, and meteors are always used in the main series to change its form. This is where Anastasia ran, and it could be where she got the DNA to make the Dexoys. We still don't know how she went from shy to cold, though. Maybe if we're not done going into the past (which I don't think we're done, going by the fact the officer you can save mentions a place called Stoplight City or maybe Spotlight, I forget which), we'll see what caused her personality change and why she joined Team Xen, like we saw what made Vitus/Indriad snap. She seems to be the second in command, having authority over the other executives and dealing with Crawli without much difficulty, so maybe she was the first to join.

Also, Generations isn't really canon to the games, the main source. Something happening in Generations doesn't mean it's factual for the games too, and same with the regular anime. Generations has already differed in a few details with the games. About why they're called dogs, I think Legendary Dogs is just a term made by fans. I use the Legendary Beasts term to refer to them. Personally Raikou looks like a saber-tooth tiger, Entei looks like a lion, and Suicune looks kind of like a leopard/cheetah?

idk about multiple personalities but some people think the girl crawling on the wall and also an episode 13 silhouette for Reborn's title screen at the time was a younger version of Lin, for which a sprite exists.

If their bodies still physically exist, maybe their souls will return to them. I imagine the actual process of them unfusing would involve defeating the PULSE Magnezone, which is involved in the events of how they were fused in the first place. But I'm not sure how that would work from a technical point of view, I just think it'll happen somehow if they're indeed on the relationship variable table, and because I'm not really sure where else ZEL could be at endgame and what they could be doing (and I just like the idea of them unfusing).

If Foamy was right about the three blurred-out names on the relationship variable picture being Eve, Lumi, and Taka, I think it'd be Zero saying goodbye. After they unfuse, maybe Eve and/or Lumi do something to him for being the reason they fused together (although neither seems like the type to do that), or maybe he just runs away, or betrays Team Meteor for Eve and Lumi. I think every character listed on the relationship variable table picture is safe (which IIRC is everyone except Ame, Lin, Solaris, Sirius, Corey, Kiki, and presumably Zero). I remember it being said we'd be able to do sidequests with those characters depending on the variables (and that we'd still get to do them even with low variables, we'd just have to work harder) and I imagine those will be really late game and/or postgame. So I don't think we'd be saying goodbye in any way, shape, or form to one of those.

I tried to crop and upload to printscreen so people wouldn't be able to see my laptop, but printscreen seems to not be working right now. The Legend of ZEL: Lin's Awakening.

I remember it being said that V8 is short but V9 will be big and hectic, which I can easily see given our destination.

I guess Never Ending Nightmare and All Out Pummeling are the Ghost and Fighting z-moves respectively. I always assumed there would be four trial captains to go along with four islands, but it's cool to see more. I wonder if we'll get to battle them, or we just do the trials and then face the kahuna of the island? It's been mentioned the kahuna is battled after clearing the island's trials, but it hasn't been mentioned if we'll get to battle the trial captains themselves. I hope we do. Maybe there's actually 2 trial captains for each island, so 8 trial captains like the gym leaders and 4 kahunas like the E4.

Young Silver = so much angst. Also if I were Suicune I would Hydro Pump the piece of trash that threw the rock. If they feared them so much, how come they were brave enough to make angry faces and throw stuff?

For the split paths, I went with Erin. I chose to not say anything about Flora. Erin encourages doing research and forming your own opinions, while Flora and Florin are extremely biased. One side (Florin) says that the GDC government keeps order and Cassandra tries her best. The other side (Flora) says that the government are corrupt and need to be replaced. I personally believe neither side is innocent. In the Hair Salon help request, we learn that Cassandra doesn't like little kids getting free haircuts, so there are probably other things like that she doesn't like. Bladestar destroys nature to blame it on the government, and sabotaged every route to GDC. Flora did regret having to get rid of some of the forest in Darchlight and said she'd revert it back later, but she's still creating a problem herself and framing the government for that problem. I also think Bladestar is responsible for the state of the Badlands. It's difficult for me to choose a side when neither are angels. So I'll let them duke it out in GDC and see what happens from there. I feel like this might lead to the route I like best. If I don't trust either, it might be logical to weaken one side, but then that gives the GDC government who I also don't trust the upper hand. If they're both at full force, there's a better chance of there not being a clear winner and/or the player being more of a key factor.

In one battle where you tag team against two of the cultists, instead of slashing them she tells them to leave Team Meteor and start a new life making their own decisions. That makes me wonder if she was reconsidering her actions. But given the conversation with Taka where she said "Well...tough", it's difficult to tell.

I can see both sides of the issue of what Titania has done, so that's not my main problem with her since I can be swayed back and forth on that. My main problem with her is that she thought it was so simple for Taka to just say "I quit" and pack his bags, when she couldn't do that with Amaria. She explains her dilemma to the player, but refuses to budge when Taka explains his dilemma. I really liked Titania's book about fairy tales in the school. It was actually reading the diaries and books of the school that made me realize how much depth Reborn has compared to the standard fangame or rom hack. But I feel like Titania kind of tries to force herself to be this strong, stoic, badass person who always handles her problems. She's the opposite extreme of the damsel in distress: instead of always having to be saved, she refuses help even when she needs it and holds the feelings she thinks are "weakness" like sadness inside. I think it's extremely difficult, if not impossible, for someone to literally never need help ever, and Titania doesn't recognize a middle ground of "even strong people break down sometimes". What usually happens to people who act strong on the outside while they're falling apart on the inside is that they finally pop, and when they do, it's a disaster because years-decades of held in emotion come flowing out. They don't know how to handle it because they've always avoided having to handle it, and they don't seek help because they feel too ashamed of needing help. I would really love if this became part of Titania's character development, where she realizes she doesn't need to act tough all the time and that it's okay to cry and need help. I think it's a strong possibility given she (most likely) has the Fairy Tale field which means the subject will probably come up again. Right now Titania is near the bottom of Gym Leaders for me (#16 if I were to make a favorites list), above Hardy and Samson since they both feel eh to me and I think it's more likely for me to like Titania more in the future than it will be for Hardy and Samson to go above feeling eh. @Damage: I think the reason Sirius doesn't get talked about for what he did that much is because people expect Sirius to be ruthless, but less people might expect it from an ally. Also did you mean someone else by Saphira? Saphira doesn't have a brother.

Symphonic Horizon will have that where specific characters have specific Pokemon that can't be deposited in the PC or put in the Day Care.

Oops, I don't read/notice thread tags and tend to forget they even exist x . x

The new Gearen City is stunning! It by itself is worth starting a new file for in V9.

If this ends up being for Titania, with the name of the field I predict there'll be even more people thinking or asking if Titania is based on Erza from Fairy Tail

White Beryl is actually already in the game's soundtrack for listen in the Pokegear.

Am I the only one who likes Brionne? I really like Torracat and Brionne. I'm not as fond of Datrix, but it isn't bad. It's cool that you can do something with Pokemon in the PC now, instead of just leaving them in storage. The Festival Plaza also looks like it could be fun. Also, Greninja already has a hidden ability, so how exactly will Battle Bond work? Is it exclusive to this specific Greninja somehow? I don't plan on using it anyway, just wondering how it would work.

Thanks for the suggestions! Holiday Pokemon exclusive areas are an awesome idea, and I'll definitely include them! I'll do Espurr's while working on making Wonky Woods wonkier. I think for the Mother's Day and Father's Day idea, it could be a double battle against a male and female Pokemon, with the choice of which one to become, and different areas accessible for each. I have a duo of Pokemon in mind for it if I decide to go with those holidays.

INTRODUCING HOLIDAY POKEMON There are four Pokemon in the Ceolis region known as "Holiday Pokemon", each representing a specific holiday with appropriate colors. These four Pokemon can't be caught, as they're under the ownership of Isabelle, who you may remember being mentioned along with her actions. (I've made these their shiny colorations, so you can still find them in the wild) However, you can become a holiday Pokemon yourself! By defeating one in battle, the holiday Pokemon will alter your appearance to look like them, as shown below in the second pic: You can change back to your regular self by speaking to the holiday Pokemon again, and you can change back to the Pokemon at any time. There will be one holiday Pokemon per episode. Episode 1's is the Halloween Espurr shown above. I won't give away the other Holiday Pokemon species, but I will say that Episode 2's represents Christmas and Episode 3's represents Valentine's Day. I haven't yet decided on the fourth Holiday Pokemon's holiday, and suggestions are welcome. While I was putting in the data for the Halloween Espurr battle, I learned that it's possible to change the type of Poke Ball an opposing trainer uses for their Pokemon when they're being sent out. So I changed them to match the ones used in specific characters' sprites. Meaning Jim's Pokemon now come out in Quick Balls, Chelsea's come out in Dive Balls, and everyone from Team Portal's come out in Premier Balls. I thought it was really neat that Palettite used different kinds of Poke Balls for some of the characters' sprites, so I'm happy to have found out this can be done with trainers sending out a Pokemon to represent that during battle! Shown below, Chelsea sending out Mantine in a Dive Ball: I'm making Wonky Woods even more wonky. This is my favorite map of episode 1 to do.

Did we ever find out what that tweet with Zubat and Dragonite that said to stay tuned was about? Dragonite was in the photo feature (I forget what it's called) but I don't think we've seen anything about Zubat yet. Maybe it'll be shown tomorrow.
