You're still going slightly insane, by the looks of things. Juu?

Oh, how wrong you are. Micky?

Nah, but our favourite electric rodent is bound to be next. Right, mde?

TIL that in Islam, charging interest for loans is forbidden.

I'm afraid the 7 restriction might very well be what he refers to when he says "moderately", TRHS. If mde had absolute power (in terms of the Numbers thread anyway), he'd be an admin! Micky is up next.

Well, I don't know. I mean, I don't feel that the target demographic is a real justification for excluding the presence of toilets. It's not like they're unmentionable places, and I'm fairly confident that most kids who play Pokemon are aware that bathrooms are places that exist. My main reason for expecting them to not be included is a purely developmental one; why go to the bother of modelling everything in a bathroom when, realistically speaking, not much conflict is going to be happening there? Sure, Pokemon games are top of the list for enabling you to randomly chat with NPCs just about anywhere, and them thinking nothing of it, but in a bathroom? Everyone just sort of keeps to themselves there. If they want to throw one in as a joke, fine. Toilets are confirmed for the Pokemon world, in that case. I totally thought everyone just did it the normal way. Behind a tree.

Yes, I imagine that line about there being no bad Pokemon was more of an attempt to include a positive message towards children to be good towards animals than anything else. Not that there's anything wrong with teaching children life lessons, but it can make for some, uh, not-entirely-realistic interpretations of the real world (and a realistic Pokemon world).

I'd have to agree with you on both points there. I'll admit, I was initially sceptical when I first heard about the premise of Mega Evolution, but I've warmed to it after I played ORAS. Nevertheless, I think another step down that line would be a step too far. Also, I can't believe I've never considered a format like free-for-all battles before. It sounds like it could be really fun, and quite nerve-wracking as well; do you aid an opponent in taking down another? The enemy of my enemy is my friend, until I end up being pummelled when the rest of the cannon fodder competition is gone.

9 We can't always be there to save the day...

Nope. Viri?

Hey there, welcome back! I only have like two passwords anyway, so my absence wasn't really a concern when it came to remembering it when I showed up here again. Have a good time here!

I was happy to see you in the arcade again. But then I remembered "Oh yeah. You're a mod." 1

Nah, Viri's asleep. Probably. Micky?

Nope. Now Micky is up next.

This is really a very, very minor thing, but: Assets is spelled incorrectly. Just saying.

In terms of the Elite Four, I'd really like to see some interactions with them throughout the main story of Sun and Moon. Often, we've only been given the information "X is a really strong trainer, they specialise in Y type", and we just have to take that for granted. If there was a point where we could meet with them during the adventure, even battle alongside them, we would be able to see them more as developed characters who had justification for being strong, and the final battle against the League would have more to it than just battling four strong trainers. I recall that in Gen 4, Flint met with the player briefly around Sunyshore City. It was a small interaction, but it meant there was a sense of recognition when I eventually got around to battling him. And I liked it.

Welcome to the forum, Hycrox (is it acceptable to de-capitalise?). I hope you enjoy your stay. Oh, and have 10 rupees on me.

Read that as Pripyat... And no, it isn't our marvellous viridescent entity, it is I! Ahem. Viri?
