Well, I'll be damned. There is a whole section of the City I have not seen before. I guess my abysmal sense of direction translates even to any sort of gaming. Anyway, thank you so much <3

I am so sorry if this was already solved elsewhere but I am completely and utterly unable to find Mika's Café in the first place.... Where the hell in GDC is it?!

Well. Fml, I still did not figure this out.

When talking about the most difficult battles, I would have to go with Aya or Charlotte. Plus Aya's field embodies the essence of a manmade apocalypse very well, which is epic in itself. Also the fact, that Cain's family just casually lives IN A WASTELAND THAT BASICALLY GOT ITS OWN MIND????!?!!!? is haunting and badass. I hope that the Wasteland will be important again later on.

Everyone. THIS all the way. In my current gameplay, I have 4 OUs, 14 UUs, 1 BL2, 6 RUs, 3 NUs, 14 PUs and 1 NFE and I am doing just fine. My Seaking demolished Samson almost on its own for instance. It is my favorite Pokemon and I have used it succesfully in games and competitively (also in OU battles and whatnot). [EDIT]: Also, the gym leaders in Reborn give a flying fuck about tiers and kick ass regardless (maybe because of the fields but who cares? Their teams were not tier-tied before we even had field effects). Just sayin. To me, this is pretty delightful. I acknowledge tiers. But I am bored to death with online battling because of that. In the Pokemon online forum I wanted to use a Vileplume, but apparently Effect Spore is a no-no when coupled with Toxic, Leech Seed, Sludge Bomb and Aromatherapy. But Togekiss with Serene Grace, Thunder Wave and Air Slash is fair enough. And no, I do not need anbody explaining to me why. I just do not see that. Period. Also in that very same team I had a guy forfeiting (and addressing profane language towards me) because Gallade knew EQ despite having plenty of counters in his team.

To be honest, despite all the hype that I feel for E16, the long period before its realease was a treat... Before that, I was too lazy to use anything besides my team of 6 which I used in every gym battle. But since I wanted to play regardless of the new episode being out or not, I stumbled across so many Pokémon and sidequests that I was able to now have 43 Pokémon available for rotation, all of which have reached lvl 79 by now. (4 OU, 14 UU, 1 BL2, 6 RU, 3 NU, 14 PU and 1 NFE----> Damn you, Linkstones). Right now, I feel like Blue in RBY when he said: "[...] Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokémon type."

Adding in PULSE weather is actually a really nice idea (if predictable, which is NOT a bad thing at all) but I am fascinated by how the PULSES actually amplify things that do not seem to terrifying at first. Mr. Mime-esque barriers? Playful. Using it to shutting down an entire area? Not so much... Sleep powder? How delightful! Using it to put an entire city to sleep? Nightmare fuel (TVTropes, anyone? There are some pages dedicated to this game). ALSO: FIRST POST ON PAGE 200, YAY!!!!11!!1

The only potential megas currently in my possession (and trained) would be Mawile, Sableye and Lucario. Still excited! Tbh I did not really play any official pokemon games later than Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald so I never got to use them outside of online battles. [EDIT]: Well... I forgot to mention Abomasnow and Glalie... Poor babies. [unrelated sidenote]: I cannot seem to find the sick tune that plays in Tanzan Mountain in the jukebox (since E15) which is a shame because it is my favorite. I hope E16 does contain it. If it is there and I missed it, I am sorry in advance!

Well, I'll be damned, you got me curious. I will now go to Beryl ward. Like right now.. And probably use some of his pkmn eventually when facing Heather.

As long as it isn't Cain! Am I the only one who cannot do anything with Coreys PKMN except looking at them? They only respond by not responding at all..

The suggestion of Fern was just some wishful thinking actually since he (and all his assholeisms) seemed to me as coming the closest to being a spare. It would not be entirely unrealistic though, given his behaviour in the mansion... However I do not think it is Aya. Like, battling a THIRD Poison Leader would be a pain as well as a bit OTT.

Maybe it's Fern

I have now trained all the Pokémon I wanted to Lvl 79 (about 33). I am sooo ready for E16.

Take all the time you need! You go, mysterious entity that granted us that game! I look forward to it as it really brightens my mood. One big fan over here! I hope this was at least partly as encouraging as this game is to me!
