  3. Decided to share my GLs so far. 2 Gyms, but 4 leaders.

    Gym Leader #1 (Acid)

    Name: Claudette (Cloud)
    Type: Flying
    Badge: Flitter Badge
    Prize: Roost TM
    Bio: An energetic bird keeper known for the shows she puts on, showcasing exotic bird Pokemon such as Toucannon and Chatot. However, she much prefers the local species, enthusiastically raising awareness over avian issues.

    Team:

    Chirpin (Normal/Flying) Lv. 9
    Natu (Psychic/Flying) Lv. 9
    Huffin (Ice/Flying) Lv. 11

    Gym Leader #1 (Base)

    Name: Desmond (Desmodus rotundus, common vampire bat)
    Type: Flying
    Badge: Flitter Badge
    Prize: Roost TM
    Bio: An acrobat known for his vampire themed performances, and a lover of bat Pokemon. He’s the stark opposite of Claudette, being serious as well as sombre. It’s no wonder the two fight it out over the Flying – Type gym position, with the victor determined by the version of the game…

    Team:

    Zubat (Poison/Flying) Lv. 9
    Woobat (Psychic/Flying) Lv. 9
    Spoobat (Ghost/Flying) Lv. 11

    Gym Leader #2

    Name: Anya and Catya (Anion and cation, types of ions)
    Type: Electric
    Badge: Electron Badge
    Prize: Parabolic Charge TM
    Bio: These two are the daughters of once poor immigrants who applied their skills as electricians to make a living. Electricity brought their parents together, improved their parents’ lives, and allowed their births. Despite their shared love for electricity and each other, they’re shockingly different – Anya is a pessimist with people problems whereas Catya is a gregarious optimist.

    Team:

    Anya

    Minun (Electric) Lv. 13
    Elecalf (Electric) Lv. 15

    Catya

    Plusle (Electric) Lv. 13
    Elecalf (Electric) Lv. 15

    • NICE!! Ugh…I’m ashamed to say I’m burned out on shiny hunting. I did it all the time back in gen 6, but since SOS chaining is the only non breeding kind of hunting now I’ve since become bored. Maybe I just need a break. I have so many of them already lol Maybe once the next game comes out I’ll be recharged enough to get back into the game. I really like many of the gen 7 shiny Pokemon so they’re definitely on the docket first.

      • Tbh Im kinda like this too. Like I am happy I hatched this, but like back in gen 6 when I hatched a shiny I would be hyped for hours. Now, Im just like “cool” then I go back to normal. I probably need to take a break too

        Reply

        • Yeah……It’s ot like I don’t enjoy finding shinies, but I just can’t find the energy to spend hours hunting anymore. I wish SM had a more mindless version of hunting like how gen 6 had horde hunting. Having so many options was what kept it fresh. Being able to go from horde hunting to chain fishing to dex nav was what made it fun. I had so many options. Now it’s either bring old breeding or tedious SOS. Hopefully either the next game or the one after that rings a new mechanic to the table to make it fun again lol

      • no I got obliterated. I haven’t killed any divine beasts yet. I’m just trying to get to the castle for a divine memory but clearly it won’t work lol. I think I I’m just goona take a long journey back to the stables so I can register my new horse and find a different place

        Reply

        • That’s actually one of two memories I haven’t found in my 105+ hours. I’m not entering the castle till I’ve tied up all the loose ends in the world I want to. Mainly because I tried to enter but it initiated a cutscene, and I don’t want to begin that until the end.

          Reply

          • Just to say, while a cutscene does start the first time you approach that place, nothing happens unless you go to the area marked on the map as your final destination. You can explore everything before going there, find the memory, some good items and even a certain secret if your willing to risk it.

          • It’s time based. I think it’s around 12:00 AM (in game). You can make a fire and sleep until night to speed up the process a bit.

  7. Started a Nuzlocke randomized: hard mode
    My starters:
    Snivy-Frillish
    Tepig-Munchlax
    Oshawott-Samurott

    (Sigh

  14. so like… is there an order to the memories I should do? Like should I do it in order of the photos? Because I’m at the goddess statue in the jungle but I’m not sure if I should do the memory

    Reply

    • There’s a chronological order, yes. It goes by the photos, but the divine beast memories are also scattered in there too. I finished all of the divine beasts and then went back and found the memories in order.

      Reply

    • I didn’t and I was never too lost.
      But TBH most of the memories are just character development for Zelda, not as much of an actual story. But there are a few.

  17. with my last comment i truly await the day ogres become a playable race, so long have i yearned to play one
    but most Ogres are dicks and caused a alot of trouble (and sadly no female Ogres exist canonically, and there’s an issue with two headed ones but yadda yadda yadda
    http://ogrila.org/assets/images/ogresDuoPortrait.png
    but what class?
    only 2 come to mind Warrior or Monk
    Warrior to be a complete lumbering brute wielding a massive club smashing all the punnies or a Monk and clobbing foes while hopped up on booze and use their natural bulk and thickness to shrug off pain
    and if i were to name it i would choose……Thunk or Grunk but i doubt any of those lasted over the year then my last choice would be Guttocks

    Reply

    • They could also be Warlock, Shamen, or Hunters. I don’t think any other class would really suit them if wow added them as a playable race.

      Reply

    • I know, right. Them dirty russkis don’t deserves this /s

      But seriously why would it just be Russia exclusive, that makes 0 sense

      Reply

      • In all fairness its probably for reasons that we don’t easily have information on. Like maybe the Russian Market really loves Mariokart and this would be a huge seller for them.

        Reply

    • With its base 45? I’d try to make it bulkier, it has passable bulk to survive neutral hits/certain things in lower tiers

      Reply

      • Well I plan to scarf it It’s mild that has lower defense
        I’m just trying to work with what I got

        Who knows it might even have a decent HP (in retrospect I probably should’ve checked before stuffing it into training)
