  2. Can’t wait to finally catch a Teddiursa tomorrow so I can start making some more headway in Crystal. I don’t want to get too far into the game without getting one as then I’ll have to backtrack and grind a ton more than I’d like to get it up to speed. I’ve already beaten Falkner so there should be a fresh new route for me to train it on once I get it. So annoying that it’s only available in the early morning……

  3. All this talk about flashy finishers reminds me of one I was coming up with for my character. Well, it involves the main 5, but mainly my character. (The name is still a work in progress) The Rainbow Aura Blast:As a last resort against the villain I still haven’t gotten a name for, Alex reverts back to his human form and prepares for one final blast. His power alone isn’t enough to beat the near godlike foe. The other 4 follow him by reverting back to their human forms and grabbing onto Alex, transferring their power to him. He starts to charge up for the blast, while the others continue to transfer their energy. Once he feels he has enough, he fires a huge beam of rainbow aura towards his foe. However, *insert villain name here* blocks it with ease, only using one hand. The 5 give more power to the blast, they aren’t going to give up, not after everything they’ve been through. They start to charge up their energy even more. They use all of their energy from their Pokemon forms and feed it into the blast. Finally, Alex powers up to his Aura Burst form (Also a work in progress name), and their foe finally gives into the blast, ultimately being destroyed by it

  4. I ghosted a little around here in the SuMo hype season and left because of a jerk named Ziggy Fartdust who would never go away kept making me uncomfortable. So, What happened to him? and is there any possibility of the disaster of him coming back?

  5. Screw it I feel the need

    Trainersona bio
    Pangoro
    Gender: Male
    Apparent Level: 83
    Location of capture: Kalos Route 5
    Pokeball: Ultra
    Moves: Drain Punch, Knock Off, Poison Jab, Bullet Punch
    Ability: Iron Fist
    Nature: Serious (Really Adamant)
    Unique Traits: His bamboo sprig has notched leaves, a horizontal scar on his belly from a fight with a Nidoking, wears a focus sash headband
    Personality: Pangoro is all business and no goofing around, cantankerous, grumpy and serious and very low tolerance towards anything he doesn’t like. Often quietly meditating bidding his time before battling but once on the battlefield he becomes wild and berserk. Despite his gruff nature he has a unflinchingly sense of justice and will not stand idly when any injustice is dealt

  6. Might as well join in with a trainersona too:

    Apex (Magmortar)
    Gender: Male
    Level 81
    Location of capture: Virbank Complex
    Poke ball: Timer
    Moves: Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Thunderbolt, Focus Blast
    Ability: Vital Spirit
    Nature: Calm
    Unique Traits: Always keeps in Zoom Lens on right eye during the day, polishes his cannons in free time.
    Personality: Apex is cunning, clever, and has a big ego that bolsters his pride. He believes that he is the best Pokémon marksmen out there, and no one is matched in his combat style. Nevertheless, he considers himself to be an eternal rival to Sandstorm, Golden’s Flygon, which, despite the type disadvantage, Magmortar considers him (and as one of the few) to acknowledge him as an equal in combat). Apex constantly rebuffs any dangers that would be in his way, saying that: “if it’s a problem, I’ll just blow it up anyway like anything else.”

  7. Mango (Dedenne)
    Gender: Male
    Level: 80
    Location of capture: Route 11 Kalos
    Poke Ball: Fast
    Moves: Thunderbolt, Grass Knot, Volt Switch, Super Fang
    Ability: Cheek Pouch
    Nature: Naughty
    Unique Traits: Mango will sometimes carry around a berry (Petaya are his favorites) as a snack for the big journeys and battles he will do.
    Personality: Mango is a very excitable, energetic, and naive Pokémon that also has a mischievous side. He constantly finds himself in trouble on accident (such as shocking Golden while he slept in his hoodie on accident and heading all the berries in his cheeks), yet these are largely due to his innocent, child-like nature. He doesn’t take battles too seriously, unlike most of the other team members, yet he will always follow Golden’s commands in battle. He is good friends with Eric, Golden’s Metagross, and loves watching the explosions Apex blasts to show off from time to time.

  8. And that’s about it for tonight’s trainersonas, I’m getting a bit tired so I might do the rest tomorrow Valoroo and everyone else.

  9. I ended up buying that bamboo flute I posted about last night! I’m actually really excited to learn how to play, I think it will be a really good thing for me and maybe a catalyst for learning other instruments. It probably won’t be here for 2 weeks or so since it’s being made especially for me, but it’s something to look forward to!

      • No, but compared to the game prior and even as a standalone it’s not very good. Technically, the game has great features such as super training, chain fishing, PSS and etc…but other than that, the game is very mediocre. The boss battles are a joke, compared to the roster of over 100 Pokemon in gen 5, gen 6 barely delivers, and compared to the story in BW, it’s awful.

    • story of my crystal life

      I recommend you teach it cut or headbutt asap since Teddiursa has really high attack early on and with the STAB it helps

      all of my Ursaring end up like this

      Cut/Strength/Headbutt
      Faint Attack
      Dynamic Punch
      Fire Punch

      Reply

      • Yeah I was prolly gonna give it Headbutt and Strength once I got them. The other 2 movies are up in the air, but Feint Attack is on the list. Gonna try and use this as ghost killer.
