Genesis

I will put the update most likely for the first chapter tomorrow morning. I thought I would just list the pokemon that will become available after Julia and before Julia so that I can see who the public decides to be the Bee's knees okay so the pokemon I can collect that need to be chosen from are Plusle Minun Castform Yeah pretty much those 3 haha

Ah okay so this was common knowledge already. Can't believe it took me 3 playthroughs to realise this haha. I am glad that it's confirmed then because I was also thinking it was possible that Linn (Team Meteor Boss, sorry if the spelling is wrong) was Evelynn. Since a few people though that Linn was actually dead and the one running around terrorizing reborn was a robot or something I thought it may be possible that these Linns were one in the same. That said. It still leaves the door wide open with possibilities as to the story around Linn. One I am most eager to discover. Speaking of little easter eggs, i also just realised that Julia renamed her gym from "Neo-Circuit Power Plant a Sylph-Co Service" to "Electro-Dazzle Happy Boom Time House of Cheer". Thanks to the guy who pointed out the coffee thing on the other sign outside Julia's gym

What Chubb said. You could have obtained it in the factory while you were there, but since you didn't you will need to wait until you get access to 7th street. Edit. Depending on hat you want to breed you don't really need ditto since the egg groups are so vast. Unless you only have a male version of the pokemon you're trying to breed out.

If you are daring enough to play the hardcore version you get a lucky egg and exp share right outside the grand hall. All you have to do is sneak past a scientist Hehehehe Mwuahahaha

Attached a pretty decent Larvitar with iron head egg move. You will have to do all the EV grinding and levelling though. Also added in the razor claw. Game.rxdata

hmm since you are doing under appreciated Fire Pokemon I would like to suggest the following that might make it tougher starting from good to pretty darn terrible Torkoal - This thing is slow but can take a hit and dish them out. Definitely good for what people say about it. Heatmor - Like above but not as good Magcargo Like Camerupt except its weakness really hurt with a dual x4 weakness to water and ground. Its stats suck and the only way I could see it getting the light of day is with trick room. When I tried using it in my mono gen 2 run I gave up on for its glaring weakness to ground with EQ being very common at that point in the game. I imagine with trick room it could be pretty great, but until then. Yeah. The great thing is these are all available from Apophyll

I like how this run is progressing. I almost started a poison monotype just to test Arbok as I was curious

You need to upload the file that says "Game.rxdata" it should be at the very bottom Larvitar isn't one of the 18 pokemon available from the mystery egg, but I added in a Larvesta with zen headbutt as requested. Game.rxdata

So with the completion of my last run in hardcore, I decided I would try another. With how addictive this game is, this probably won't be my last run either. The rules of this run are simple: Use of pokemon is limited to pokemon that do not evolve. IE these pokemon Use of the above is further limited to non legendary pokemon even after which point they become available in the game. Use of potions limited to 3 per gym battle. Use of 1 reviving item limited to 1 per gym battle/ boss battles. Additionally, 1 pokemon shall be chosen by the community for each gym battle from Julia on-wards as there is only 1 pokemon available to get before fighting her. Feel free to suggest anymore rules. I will also be naming pokemon that join the team after anyone who posts in the topic from post Julia. Since there's only one available pokemon pre Julia, I started with a team of 3. I am still trying to get my hand on the custom sprites (if anybody has any insight on this please PM me), so as I get the hang of it I will update the thread with that. My team starting is: Shifty (My Ace) ; Chastity and Demi-Goddess Without further ado, let the journey begin

So here's some speculation about ZEL. When you meet ZEL for the first time in Obsidia park, they mention that they are 3 people. One starts with Z, the next E (Evelynn I think) and the next L. Then when you get to Ametrine you find the house where the first pulse machine was developed fusing its creator, the little sister and another meteor man into one entity. It mentions something about a magnezone, but I think that is just reference with regards to how the 3 people fuse into one being - ZEL. You see the 3 different parts of ZEL speaking by whichever letter is not capitalized. I think team meteor may have taken ZEL into their custody since they are always the one's operating the Pulse machines. I may be completely wrong on this, but that is just how I interpret it. If this is already common knowledge I apologise. It's just something I noticed after 3 playthroughs.

I actually have no idea how to resprite haha, I would love to as I have ideas in mind, but it seems like a load of work involved and as someone who has no background with coding I don't want to screw up the game

Ah I am so Bleak. I typed out chapter 15. Then my browser crashes, The auto saved content is from 2 hours back. FML. Chapter 15 will be posted on monday. For now here are some pics: Chapter 15, Death Defying Areal Aces and Ciel is Locked into Position Number 52 Water treatment center Fiore mansion battles Ciel defeated Mega Rayquaza defeated

Gave you shroomish since the other 2 are available later in the game

Done and dusted check PC

Done as well see attached gave both

See attached, hope you don't mind shiny and gave you aurora beam as an egg move.

Ditto, so that I can have any woman I want....

Chapter 14: B00ty dun got sp4nKe(D). T3RR4 goes down ifyuknowatimean With Charolotte defeated and the level cap raised again, Atilla headed towards Ametrine where they discovered the source of the huge iceberg - a puse Avalugg which was surprisingly tough. Damn full restores. But no stress Atilla managed a victory Atilla's hard work didn't go unnoticed though as Shelly walked in. Notice me Senpai Atilla and Shelly headed towards Ametrine where it was discovered that Heather had been secretly feeding the town, Blake who was a meteor agent had locked her up. Atilla and Shelly rescued Heather when the unthinkable happened. She became nice Atilla and Cal then teamed up to take on some meteors, when Atilla got word that Shelyl was available for team up, they quickly dumped Cal to fight along side Shelly. As you can see from the pic it's just meant to be In desperate need of the TMX waterfall, Aster a knight in shining armor came to Atilla's rescue, Atilla didn't understand at first and wiped the floor with her. When Atilla reached the summit they discovered Blake had harmed their precious Shelly and exacted revenge on him too. Then it was back to Agate circus to confront T3RR4 about her involvement with the meteors. When confronted she jacked into the PC system like megaman with Atilla hot on her heels. It was a strange environment, but in a way similar to Atilla original birthplace. Atilla pressed on in search of the queen of booty when they happened across this dashing man: After a couple (quite a few really) of attempts. Damn that Mega Alakazam, Atilla obtained Victory And it was straight on to the next challenge Thank Arceus for focus sash and destiny bond. Jaws, the God killer. With that, the final challenge of this chapter grew nearer. Atilla could hear the crazed giggles of laughter in the distance. They presented their last badge to gain access where they saw T3RRA waiting for them, looking smug as a bug. After a long explanation of t3RRas childhood, the battle started. Atilla vs T3RR4 Peaches vs Giovanni > Giovanni starts with earth power taking over half of Peaches HP. Her EQ OHKOs the giant lizard.Jaws vs Excakill < Aqua Jet takes 1/4 of Excakills HP. It uses an X scizzor and OHKOs Jaws.Peaches vs Excakill < Excakills EQ KOs PeachesHidori vs Excakill > Thankfully life orb damage and previous attacks have left it at about half HP. Hidori's Surf has no trouble sweeping away the mole.Moist vs Hippo > Moist's ice beam leaves the hippo in the read. It uses an EQ that takes 1/4 of moist's HP Hyper potion but it's not enugh as the next ice beam KOs the Hippo Hidori vs Clayboybunny > Surf takes just over falf of the clay figures HP. It uses psychic and takes 1/4 of Hidori's HP A hyper potion is given to fully recover the clay idol, it is hit with another surf 3rd Surf KOs Mystic Art vs Swagsire > Giga drain OHKOs the king of swag.Cassanova vs Rawrchomp < Please don't be a mega, please don't be a mega, please do- "The foe garchomp is reacting to mega ring ....." I think the pic explains perfectly hat happens next Hidori vs Rawrchomp < Hidori's psychic takes around 1/3 of the dragons HP. It KOs Hidori with EQMystic Art vs Rawrchomp < Is just here to help heal Moist. Flame thrower takes 1/2 of Mystic arts HP Draco meteor misses and Mystic Art gets off a giga drain taking Rawrchomp just under half HP T3RR4 has a 3rd hyper potion hiding and heals rawrchomp. Another giga drain takes 1/4 of rawrchomps HP Rawrchomp flamethrowers again taking Mystic art back don to under half HP. His giga drain crits taking rawrchomp too to under half HP Rawrchomp flamethrowers again leaving Mystic art in the red, but a giga drain rectifies that and leaves rawrchomp in the red A final flamethrower ends Mystic arts valiant attempt at victory Moist vs Rawrchomp > All I need is to survive 1 hit and then its victory. Draco meteor hits and leaves Moist with 10 HP. Yes! Ice beam KOs the dragon. Mega PHEW!

Shhhh! Don't say that too loudly! haha just kidding, but I guess it is to be expected from a psuedo legendary. It starts out terrible though and still has some hefty weaknesses. I think I mainly get lucky when the AI derps in boss battles because with all these megas that you face in hardcore you have to hope you are really lucky to beat them. ofcourse it helps that I EV trained everything early on before even getting to Agate as I am sure without the EV training it would have been a lot harder. I blame the speed of this run on my anxiousness to start my next run which will end up taking a lot more time since I will be going on leave and surprisingly will have less time to play than I do now. I think in the last 2 days I have put an extra 20 hours or so in my play time with all the grinding done behind the scenes. My next playthrough will probably also be a hardcore playthrough. Having dealt with hardcore up til now, I find it difficult turning back to the "normal" version haha though it's plenty tough. I ill probably still keep my first and second playthroughs on the normal version. The problem is I have so many playthroughs I want to do. After the next one, I may want to try a monotype playthrough, though there pros and cons to all of them and it's difficult deciding which one to try. But those are 2016 problems fortunately. For now, I am tasked with rescuing Heather and defeating Blake. Then its T3RR4 who I think will be toughest to deal with since 90% of my roster are weak to ground. Ciel should hopefully be easier thanks to her flying type disadvantage, though I will probably be surprised by Commander and be like "oh God" when I do face her. While this run is coming to an end it's daunting to think about the battles that are still coming up. I would hope to finish by Monday, but we will see.I am quite thankful that there was no Mega in the Charlotte fight as that was quite tough.

Me? I would take Mega Charizard X. Becuase by then I am sure we will have the mega ring. That and that alone. I would incinerate the league and anyone else. Jokes I would take Sceptile as well. because? #givetreekosomelove And finally. Dunsparce. Yeah Dunsparce.

Chapter 13: The Soul is Set Ablaze With Samson defeated, Atilla needed to head out and get the TMX Surf in order to get to Calcenon. When they arrived at Fiore mansion they discovered Titania's diary. Should not have read that, should not have read that. Amaria walks in and discovers Titania's facade and stricken with guilt and depression she flings herself off a waterfall. Boy, this really isn't helping Atilla score brownie points with Titania. Atilla, now needs to get waterfall as well. On the way to Ametrine, Atilla discovers a huge mountain ice blocking the way. Hardy, Cain, Aya and Atilla agree it best to head to Calcenon to try and make some headway. Only on the way there, Sapphira is defending the city from massive pulse clawtizer attacks and ends up destroying the easy route in. Cain and Hardy get separated from Aya and Atilla who team up and make their way through where the eventually meet up with Aster and Eclipse. Who the defeat Eclipse is tired of what the meteors have done and turns ff the pulse clawtizer. She is dealt with in a very condemning manner Aya is Kidnapped after she defends Atilla. Atilla tries their best to get to Calcenon as quickly as possible. Word is Charlotte is the gym leader for Dive and that should get us to Ametrine. In a turn of events, Charlotte ends up stealing the ruby ring in a plot to confuse the meteors, save Aya and buy some time. Atilla wastes no time laying waste to all the gym servants on their way to Charlotte. With Fiery determination Atilla hurls the first 2 pokemon on to the super hot battlefield. Atilla vs Charlotte Fear and Wannabe vs Typhlosion and Darmanitan & /& Darmanitan outspeeds Atilla's glass cannon and gets off a rock slide hurting the team. Wannabe's rock slide leaves the foes with 1/2 HP and Fear's mud bomb KOs darmanitan. Typhlosion flinches​Fear and Wannabe vs Typhlosion and Rotom Heat & /& Wannabe delivers another rock slide before being KOd by Rotom and Typhosions overheat which combusts the field. Fear's Mud Bomb puts an end to Typhlosion. Fear and Hidori vs Talonflame and Rotom Oven (changed for Houndoom) & /&() Rotom is wiithdrawn for Houndoom. Hidori uses surf. It boosts Fear sp atk, KOs Houndoom and Talonflame and douses the field's fire. Wow. Then Fear sets up rain dance. Fear and Hidori vs Ninetails and Rotom Oven & /& Ninetails drought causes a rainbow Hidori surfs again doing much less damage this turn. Ninetails Solarbeams activates in turn 1 and KOs fear. Rotom's hidden power takes half of Hidori's HP Genghis and Hidori vs Ninetails and Rotom Oven &/& Genghis whips up a sandstorm Hidori uses psychic on ninetails leaving it in the read and it in turn uses heat wave doing meh damage. Rotom.s volt switch KOs Hidori, but a Rock slide from Genghis puts both Ninetails and Rotom to bed. Victory again

The light at the end of the tunnel in this is that it helps boost forumites like myself post count haha

Chapter 12, Fun at the Circus Cain informs Atilla that upon entering the circus there's no turning back for who knows how long, So Atilla heads out across reborn collecting all the important items they will need as well as doing a few extra side quests for some additional comrades. Once set and complete, Atilla heads back to Shelly's gym to wish her farewell, but the gym is empty. Atilla is a little heart sore but feels confident they will meet up somewhere in the future. Atilla heads to meet up with Cain. it seems the city is has been overtaken by a sleeping spell. Atilla wonders if this is the work of the meteors and if so was pokemon could cause such ... tranquility? The 2 discover the sleeping bodies of Hardy and Aya, a thought crosses Atilla's mind of the things they could do, but they quickly shake it off. They are interrupted by a very vibrant and loud character going by many alias' but better know as T3RR4. Cain is actually shocked for a change by just how forward this person is. Atilla stands back bemused. T3RR4 advises them to head to Agate circus where they will be safe from the sleeping spell. Atilla heads to the circus excited at what lies ahead only to be greeted by a very haphazard and dysfunctional site Most of the rides don't seem to work, pokemon run rampant and clowns are set up trying to steal your cotton candy. Kids are losing themselves by the hour and have the most outrageous request. Luckily with how small the circus is, they don't stay lost for too long. Atilla is mostly upset they didn't get a chance to ride the Ferris wheel. Atilla heads to the ring master, a rather young and inexperienced individual who seems to be neither here nor there. She advises Atilla that Aya was found and was placed inside by the circus strongman, Samson. Samson uses the opportunity to boast his strength to which Atilla tries too. While not as successful, Atilla is awarded with a Clefairy for their efforts. Samson escorts Atilla inside where they find Aya. hardy however is not with her, so Atilla sets out on route 2 in search of him. While their, Atilla catches themselves a Rhyhorn. Atilla makes their way to the end of route 2 when they come to Fiore mansion and what a surprise, Amaria is there too, also her lover, Titania who seems to have an animosity towards Atilla for some strange reason. Chicks dig ice cream, maybe that will warm her up while cooling her down? Atilla discovers Hardy, who is Titania's brother and they head back to the circus, but not before discovering Team meteors plans up in Calcenon. Atilla is given a battle pass for Samson t get access to Surf and heads back to the circus in hopes of another badge. This is a new environment, and Atilla has equipped themselves with some new team members. Unfortunately, rock has a chronic weakness to fighting types, so this may be a very tough battle. Atilla hands over the battle pass after a bewildering chat with T3RR4 and Ciel. Samson heads out to the main arena waiting for Atilla. Atilla takes a deep breath as they walk to the end of the centre stage, the spot lights glaring down on them, blinding them slightly. The crowd cheers as the ring master finishes her speech and starts the battle. Atilla is ripped back to reality as Samson sends out his first pokemon. Atilla vs Samson See No Lie vs Hariyama < SNL Extrasensory takes just nder half of Hariyama's HP. It uses a brick break hat scores over 9000 and leaves See No Lie in the red A second extrasensory leaves Hariyama in the red. A heavy slam that again scores over 9000 KOs SNL Wannabe vs Hariyama > A hyper potion is given to Hariyama but he is KOs by Wannabe's acrobaticsWannabe vs Blaziken > (turns into Mega Blaziken ) Acrobatics OHKOs M Blaziken. Phew gla that's taken care of. Rocky vs Meinshoa > Meinshoa poison Jabs taking under 1/4 HP while Rocky sets up a reflect. Meinshoa tries another Poison jab leaving Rocky poisoned, but Rocky deals swift justice with a moonblast that crits and KOs the rat monk. Cheesy vs Heracross < I probably should have chosen either Arheops or Yanmega for the x4 flying weakness, but I felt like showcasing Cheesy a bit A megahorn leaves Cheesy with 3 HP. Cheesy's psychic takes just over half of Heracross's HP A second Megahorn KOs Cheesy. #showcasefailed Wannabe vs Heracross > Wannabe outspeed the horny bug and KOs it with acrobaticsMoon Goddess vs Hawlucha > A flying gem strengthened acrobatics takes just over half of Moon Goddess's HP, she retaliates with a moonblast that crits and OHKOs the bird prodigy.Sun Goddess vs level 71 Conkeldurr sheesh < Moon Goddess crits with a moon blast taking just over half the giant's hp. It poison jabs and KOs Sun GoddessCassanova vs Conkeldurr Cassanova outspeeds the behemoth and KOs it with an air slash.Victory - Atilla

So this is actually a very short update at least since the last few updates have been coming in like rapid fire. I am getting close to the end of this run and already thinking of the next one. Chapter 11: Darkness Becomes Me With Radomus defeated, Elias put his plan in motion to capture Luna and incapacitate the rest of us. Luckily Cain allowed for Atilla's escape and when outside, Radomus showed of a secret path out the maze, Word was that Luna was being held somewhere on 7th street, a place Atilla had only ever heard of before. Atilla headed towards the Aqua gang leader to get intel on where 7th street was situated. He also gave Atilla another mission - to put an end to Mrs Cradenbury's foul mouth. Atilla gladly complied silencing the old hag. Atilla also took care of Maxwel the Magma gang leader With that Atilla headed back to save Luna. Atilla was mortified at the dealing going on, but pressed on. Luna was saved with a bit of drama and headed towards Iola valley with Benneit on her heels. Atilla also did some helix missions to get a Tyrunt. Then they headed to Iola Valley where they also caught a Carbink. Atilla thought this may be useful for the battle against Luna. The only person who tried to get in the way was Bennett. #awkward His power had increased since our last battle But in the end it doesn't even matter~ With that it was time to face Luna. Atilla had a plethora of questions they wanted to ask this prety girl, but now was not the time. They gazed at her and could understand the obsession Bennett had with her. She was delightfully pleasing to look at, but she still wasn't Shelly. Atilla had a lump in their heart, wondering what this feeling was, but they shook it off and drew the first pokeball. Atilla vs Luna Hunter X vs BoojumSnark < Hunter X OHKOd by scald. LOLCassanova vs Boojumsnark > Bug Buzz crits taking Boojum to 1/3 HP. It uses scald and takes just over 1/2 HP Hyper potion and bug buzz takes 1/2 HP Bug Buzz KOs Rocky vs Bandersnatch <turns into Mega Iron head nearly KOs Carbink. it flinches anyway KOd Lady Luck vs Bandersnatch no result(but is KOd) Bandersnatch tries a stone edge NE. Iron head takes just under half HP. Is withdrawn for Sableye who is KOd by head smash. Lady Luck vs Humpty Dumpty < Head smash misses. Shadow ball takes over 1/2 HP Head smash leaves in the red, dark pulse KOs Lady Luck Genghis vs Humpty Dumpty > Rock slide misses. Dazzling gleam takes 1/3 HP Rock slide hits and KOs Humpty Genghis vs Bandersnatch (the great showdown) > Iron head leaves Genghis in the red. It uses an EQ and KOs Bandersnatch. FTWGenghis vs Jubjub Bird > Genghis is healed and Jubjub uses foul play NE. JubJub badly poisons Genghis with toxic and is in return KOd by a rock slide Sun God vs Cheshire < Sun God quiver dances. Cheshire uses confuse ray Sun God hurts itself and then is hit with a dark pulse Bug buzz echos in the chasm and leaves cheshire with a sliver of Hp. it retaliates with a dark pulse Hyper potion to Cheshire but it's not enough and another Bug Buzz KOs Cheshire After a very shaky start, Victory

"Where do I go now" posts are coming
