....I really should add on to this. Unless your game doesn't take itself too seriously, and is mostly a comedy or parody. I could see it working there. Comedies are often very unpredictable. I know you were joking, but I felt the need to add on to this.

I once had this really bad Idea. There were things I had to consider with this idea. Such as, If guns exist, why use pokemon? The Solution that I came up with was to buff pokemon so that even pokemon as weak as Ralts could react and deflect or reflect bullets, meaning Pokemon would almost always be a better combat option. So if Pokemon outclass guns in every way, why use guns? Well, guns have other uses other than Open Combat, such as picking off an enemy stealthily (Use a darn suppressor). Or it could be a last attempt for defense. Therefore, a pokemon, while usually able to defend themselves, have blind spots. But how would a human be able to exploit those blind spots? My solution is that over time, Humans evolved from Pokemon (or more specifically, Humans and Pokemon share common ancestors. This is still a rather sensitive subject). Since Pokemon are faster and stronger than real world animals, by that logic, humans should as well? Just slightly weaker? I would imagine that this logic applies even in Reborn, where we see Amaria survive an attack from a Tyranitar of all things, which should at least have the ability to bust mountains and change landscapes. When I was twelve, I thought that this was a pretty cool Idea. Now, I'm not so sure. Aren't their pokemon in Smash Bros, and Bayonetta is also in Smash Bros, and a Greninja main like me has had to fight a constant stream of Bayonetta players on For Glory. Bayonetta uses a lot of guns. I know that Saphira and Titania kill people in Pokemon Reborn, but does that justify having a tool that's mainly used for killing others in a game like this? When I was young, I just wanted a Pokemon game where the trainer could fight too. Except my ideas strayed far away from realism and into the realm where Sword combat was viable due to humans being able to react and deflect bullets, like this was Afro Samurai or Metal Gear. This actually originated from reading the Pokemon Adventures manga, where Giovanni stated that Pokemon weren't merely meant to be sent out and commanded, and that the trainer's own speed, and skill also mattered, such as where you placed the pokeball, or how fast you reacted to an incoming attack. It was most notable when Bruno and Red had their fights in Volumes 6 (Flashback) and 7, but It also mattered in a lot of other battles. Exaggerate those abilities, to the point where their reactions surpass the speed of Sound, and you pretty much have an Anime. And that was the problem. My thinking was way too Anime. Then, I thought; What's the point if It doesn't serve a purpose in the gameplay? This is a video game, after all. If I were to do it, It would probably be a pretty horrid stylistic choice. Therefore, please don't do it, unless you're ultra-sure that it won't mess with the tone of your game. Or if you can't have it contribute to the gameplay in a meaningful way.

Anyways, can we have a discussion about... the main reason I enjoy this game? The Story? Or more specifically: a character. Even more specifically, a certain Normal Type gym leader who is canonically Tristan's boss fight was unfair. But his character is too interesting to not discuss.

It saved the MC from meeting Darth Vader's fate. I think I want to know too. It seems that Melia is this game's Zelda, The MC is this game's Link, but it's so weird to think of Madame X as this games... Ganondorf?

Replayed V10. So, Our main character can't die? He/she/xe reincarnates every time he dies? That's some pretty thick plot armor. I honestly didn't get how this ability works. Can someone explain it to me?

Am I the only one who likes the ending where you "Try to escape". I've always had a thing for bad endings. Wonder if they'll be any consequences.

No trainer can have more than one Mega. And Mega Tyranitar is outclassed in a lot of roles by Base Tyranitar because Base Tyranitar has an Item slot free. The Mega Slot will most likely go to Mega Aerodactyl, since at this point in the game, we have access to Metagross, meaning Mega Diancie would be too easy to beat down.

Also, Hardy is going to have a Tyranitar. I guarantee it.

78% done... why do I get the feeling that this is gonna be an extremely short update?

Also, I found this. Where is the crystal? If someone has a screenshot, please post it. (Yes. I did replace one of the Sprites with the one from Rejuvenation.)

How exactly do you get Treeko?
