"What killed the dinosaurs? THE ICE AGE!" I sense that the Tyrantrum will throw a tyrant tantrum upon hearing that pun.
You look snazzy. (and you should probably take precautions against any device imitating a dementor)

i don't think i've run across a single ice move in the game haha
it could be because of fire. possibly. i found out that my delphox has a nature that boosts speed and lowers attack, is outstanding, and has 3 perfect IVs. good starter, very gooood.

Do you never fight ice types or people who are prone to iciness? Come to think of it, there aren't many that use ice moves other than ice beam and blizzard if they are not ice type already. I'll just have to remember to bring Horker, the Walrein, if we meet in battle.
The Oracle of Delphox has outstanding speed but, alas, hits like a wet noodle in a sauna.
How do IVs and Evs work now that they introduced super training?

it's kinda a rare type i think. most of the pure ice types aren't that intimidating either... but once again i could have that perception because i always have fire around.
it doesn't hit like a wet noodle because it uses special attack and not attack and i think that's one of its perfect IVs? i kind of forget.
but ye gods, super training is magical. it's for EV training only though so, so far as i am aware, no changes to the IV system (but as it was a worldwide release people are still figuring out things so who knows - i certainly haven't messed with IVs yet)
but for the EV's there's this little mini-game you play that, assuming you win, you get a set number of EVs. the game involves kinda flying around on top of a soccer net and shooting balloons with soccerballs... it sounds weird because it is weird, but it's somewhat entertaining and not too difficult. sometimes you get little punching bags that you can have your pokemon hit and then you get bonus EVs. the most helpful-est thing though was that i got a reset punching bag so i got to completely reset and reconfigure my delphox's EVs after having used him the entire game. there's a little thing to the side of the main screen that kinda shows you what your EVs look like at any given time and it tells you if you're maxed out on one stat or in total, etc

Pure ice types are disappointing. Some of the mixed types, however, are cool. Froslass, Articuno, Kyurem (if it had good aesthetic design), Lapras, Glalie, Walrein, and Abomasnow (who you might know as "that thing that I could probably melt with my breath") Up until GenV I never had a fire type in the party. I brought steel, flying, and ice moves with my water starter. We covered everything I would have needed fire for.
Right, I forgot about that. Mage fox. Information on all fronts, including sprites, starting stats, etc, has been hazy.
Interesting. That explains why they increased experience gain so much; friend here was excited and informed me. No need to grind fighting a target for stats which, if I do recall, makes that same friend's 700 hour game of EV training mostly with a Shuckle seem like a waste. Haha. Glad I did not do that. Is this reset triggered by a particular item or is it a one-time-only deal? Like the stat reset in Skyrim after you defeat Miraak in Apocrypha, that is an overdue feature.

I've always really liked articuno =B I had a holographic card with it on it in like... 3rd grade? and was very fond of it.
it's triggered by an item-ish thing. not really an item but yeah.

Ooh, now you are making me wish I had my old cards so that I could... Wait a minute. *digging in my closet* (why am I typing this like a skype conversation?) I know I have a binder with a few cards left, but I'm not sure where it is. I have some shiny Yugi-Oh cards that I kept for possible value one day and a ton of Heroscape stuff, some Duelmasters, and a Digimon card - that is my collection of past memorabilia.
An item/thing you press A on at a particular location?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahhhh now i want to dig through all my old pokemon cards but they aren't heeeeereee so saaaad
no it's an item in the minigame. so it's not really in your inventory...

Some of my friends used to have an entire drawer full of them. Two, now that I think about it. One was just full of energy cards. They were brothers and decided that they should have one designated area to contain all their goods; they received some from their older cousins who quit playing and I think they also combined the storage with Yugi-Oh cards. Did they ever find what they were looking for? Pssht, heck if I know. XD
One of those things you can click on in that world that magically exists whenever you push a button.

i've possibly got a binder full in a drawer somewhere. possibly. never could stand energy cards because i wasn't interested in playing the card game and neither was anyone i knew.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I totally understand that. Energy cards were a bummer when you could make up your own way to play. Back when my sister and I got along, we'd play with decks of 100 or 200 cards and go until we lost far more than the required number of battles. Similarly, in Heroscape you are supposed to limit your unit selection based on card point values and then only move 3 units in a turn as denoted by initiative markers. That is difficult to adhere to when you build maps spanning an 8x3 table that include castle walls, mountains, rivers and forests; not to mention having three players with each having an army of over 20-30 cards (roughly over 100 units). Those were fun times. It's too bad Heroscape got bought out by Wizards of the Coast (the D&D guys), used for one of their own products, and was then shut down for good. The Pokemon card game seems to still be alive and well, but it would be nearly impossible to get back into it at this point with at least a dozen different versions of Bulbasaur alone.

im still occasionally tempted to grab a pack when i'm in line at target or something, just out of nostalgi
but man, i don't even know what they look like these days. there were some weird ones even back when i was still into them

The smell of new paper and the mystery of what you'll find inside still gets to me after all these years, too. I get the same feeling when I open a new book or a game manual. Whatever chemical that is that preserves paper, it is the trigger.
They probably look like a mixture of pure insanity and artists asked to draw the same thing in twenty different ways from the same angle and with different mediums. I suppose I could have left that at "insanity." XD

i think there were ones made out of clay when i was still buying the packs so i wonder if there are like... abstract art ones now? i dunno how they could have gotten weirder
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Clay? I saw 3D renderings, paint, pencil, traditional, borderless, cut-out, show stills, and metal, but no clay.
Now they're probably taking pictures of genetically engineered animals through a sepia filter.

i swear there were clay-looking ones D:
possibly so. photo-manipulated pokemon.

Thanks to the miracle of Google, you have not been proven a liar. You have been proven honest this time, but know that I am watching you.
I was hoping for an image of someone pointing at their eyes with two fingers...
Darn it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaekRh… I was hoping for this, specifically.

that is a great moment - have you seen the video of the cosplayers doing the same thing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have, actually. That is one of the reasons why I think cosplaying, like real cosplaying, would be a lot of fun. The trouble is decided which character to go as. This is largely influenced by the amount of hairspray and belts I would need. XD Handsome Jack would be fairly easy to pull off...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you say that like the face make up would not be really hard but i bet it wouuuuld
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For Jack? Probably. Anyone with a cel-shaded complexion is bound to be difficult. My experience using makeup is nonexistent. I think I've used that clear nail polish stuff once.

I'm sad to say I don't think that counts

'scuse me for sounding stupid, but what's the friend safari?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no it's cool i hadn't heard about it till the other day. basically, once you beat the E4, you can go to a new town and in the top right corner is the safari zone but they've made it so that there are different safaris for all the people on your friends list. each person's safari is a patch of grass with 2-3 pokemon of the same type in it. so like, my brother's zone in my game is water type and i could catch wartortle, bibarel, and frogadier in it at level 30 (i think). people have 3 pokemon after they've beaten the E4 and 2 before - i think there's some sort of bonus if they're online atm too? i'm not sure cuz it hasn't happened to me yet
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm... I really ought to train my pokemon to kick the E4's butts in that case :I sounds too fun to pass up XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahhh i wouldn't worry too much about training them, i didn't grind or anything and ended up being able to one shot most everything in there aside from a gyarados (and that's cuz i possibly have a massive weakness to anything water - just maybe)
but it's pretty cool to see rare things in there @_@
