Do you actually have to learn an entire list of mechanics for every boss in WoW raids?
I assumed you only had to learn the few that matter to your class since you're only one person in a big group. Other classes would dispel/heal/take aggro for the other moves right?

You can say that again aunt Olivia

They bought us that Bill Hicks part where he's talking about people listening to music and hearing demonic subliminal messaging. And then he just says something like "If you're sitting alone in your house listening to records backwards and you're hearing that, you're Satan."

Funny enough, someone other than chomp has beaten Trials of Death. Basically, they were able to recreate the level and beat it. It happened a few weeks ago.

Based on that... one could argue TTH is actually harder...

Was the creator's reaction good?
It was his personal quest for years and then some other dude just takes it out the same way Akuma took out Bison.

Gulman 2

What ultimately prevented you from putting the controller down and clapping, TC?

Sapphire easily.

Also I've been wondering recently.
Does any legendary trivialise the rest of their game after you catch them more than Kyogre with surf, ice beam and thunder?

I wonder if that Seymour fight up on the mountain is still a huge cock block after all these years knowing it's coming and being able to level and what not before it.

I went back with this same curiosity a while ago.
Rikku's overdrives make it pretty simple. There's a mix that doubles a character's health.

I actually do consider Yojimbo a legitimate win. They put it in the game and they wanted you to use it.
It's just something you have to come to terms with when you decide to go the ribbon on three characters, max stats, all celestials route. You tell people about your big accomplishment and th other people can just say "I beat him too but with no effort."

Which is questionably true because they'd at least have to roll 5 Zanmatos in a row against Dark Yojimbo which could be a pain.

Maybe it's one of those Forza or other realistic car games.
There's a Forza Horizon 5 and that's a spinoff right?

What's so great about Arcanine anyway?
Is this a later gen gameplay thing or do people just like the design a lot?
I barely differentiate between the Vulpix/Ponyta/Growlithe lines.

No I wouldn't.
In some of the other games there are times where it's difficult or tedious to train things up.

Then in BW1, they hand you a lucky egg and Audino's always around to pile you with EXP. In case that sounds like a criticism, it's not. I think it's a great change, being able to train something up quickly mid-game like that.

What are the hardest levels for the non-SMW games?
I saw a video of a level called Beast Needle a few weeks ago and it was crazy. It was just loads of precision platforming through spikes in SMB1.

What kind of characters would you want to show up across your adventure?

Skarmory, man. They give it to you too late but still. Silver.
Donphan's kinda neat.

In HGSS it's tougher because Gligar can evolve.

I guess I should try the Battle Tower with one of the recommended teams so I can really say I gave it a fair try. Or to pass time waiting for Solrock.

I think I'll go the Tyranitar + Garchomp + a bulky water route. It'll be like Gen 4 OU's last stand.

Sometimes I wonder if the people complaining about no Battle Frontier in the recent Pokemon games have actually played the Battle Frontier.

Did you all actually get the Celadon Dratini?
I always got mine from the Safari Zone.

Metal Gear Solid?
3 is pretty loved overall and some people are crazy about 5's gameplay.
Not confident about this guess because I don't hear much positivity about 4.

The ice cream probably. It just doesn't seem to have anything going for it. It was on N and Alder's teams and instead of that making it look better, it made the teams look worse. Sort of like Altaria does every time it's on a dragon team.

The keys appear to have a little more going on at least. Prankster's pretty neat. Better typing. I haven't played gen 6 so I don't know the full extent.

or any Megaman X game above X1.

I would.
I don't like the X1 opening or having to pick Chill Penguin to get the dash. No playable Zero in X1 either.

Got Chatot. I feel confident giving Chatot an award for being the most forgettable Pokemon in the first 4 gens now.

Last stretch.
I think I need to restart Heartgold. I need the Charmander line, Totodile line and the Torchic line and they're all in there.
And then Solrock (But we went over that and it's probably not happening for a month.)
And then Rayquaza (Who I might as well consider my greatest enemy after a shiny Rayquaza tanked over 100 Pokeballs and then fainted itself with Struggle last year.)

Lyra gave me some kind of certificate that reads "Fighting together, walking together. Forging a bond that cannot be broken and will go on continually into eternity. The bond is illuminated here."
That's kinda nice.

I looked this up and I've never even heard about this Shiny Leaf sidequest. Tried running around in some grass with a max repel on just now and found one though so I'll keep at it.

Another one is 100 straight wins in the Battle Tower, which sounds miserable. I heard you can do stuff like tricking a choice item onto the opponent then setting up but the luck items and evasion move usage still make it too unfun.

About 470.
I think I'm going to try and level something up to 100 as well. I can't remember the last time I did that.

-Play exhibition games and instantly forfeit against Al Bhed until Nimrook the goalie only has one game left (You can check in the airship), save and reload until he quits the next game and you can sign him. He's busted.
-Tiddus with Jecht Shot at the front. Wedge and Shaami (Both in Luca) are also pretty good at shooting early on.
-Brother (Driving the airship) swims really fast, put him in the middle.

-Swim into your own goal to confuse the enemy AI and run down the clock.
-Put two players you want to level near the back and spend a whole half a game just passing back and forth for exp.

Edit: First thing you should do is sign whoever and release the Aurochs as soon as possible. This is helpful and funny because it causes the other teams to occasionally drop legit players and sign Aurochs.

Will take a while but it should be easy and hopefully fun.

A Pokegear call from Professor Oak just now.
"Have you noticed that your circle of friends has gotten bigger since you started working on the Pokedex? That's the best thing about Pokemon!"

Finding out I'm running errands for a trade-evo apologist. That's quite the late game gut punch.
But considering the time he told me to use my Master Ball on a Fearow, I shouldn't be surprised.

400.
Time to start sending things holding evo stones over from Leaf Green.

My Nidoqueen has 4 HMs. I have to spend a TM on making it transferable. I've got a TM for Frustration which would make the most sense.

The more I think about it, this move remover guy seems potentially very dangerous. Maybe in a future game the evil team could recruit him.

Gengar back when he had Levitate.

Maybe they'll tape all the parts together in one big game a few years after the last one comes out.
FF7 remake remastered.

About 380.
A lot of the remaining ones will probably come from Platinum. I'm missing things that would be so easy in that game like Bidoof and Buizel.

There's a big gap toward the end of the gen 3 part of the dex. Shuppet, Banette, Chimeco, maybe Kecleon and I'm drawing a blank on the others.

I gave it a try on HG after completing the last Safari Zone task and getting enough of the objects. No Seviper after 10 days. Shrug.

I could have spent this time cycling up and down Goldenrod while balancing a tray of eggs, the highly irresponsible day care man's only comment being "Want another one?"

Tried shuffling things around, swapped out every area. Idea was to reset the whole Safari Zone and hope that might jumpstart it. Still no Seviper after 10 days.
Found out the new parts are every 3 hours of play time on HG though so it's literally turned into an idle game.

Really I should be using the time spent waiting to catch and level things but I really want this to work.

A theory.
This an old save file. It's from 2010. The bottom left area of the Safari Zone actually had items in it from over a decade ago. Is it possible that somehow this one having thousands of days to develop has somehow messed with the other ones I'm now trying to create?

Did some rummaging, turns out the guy mentioned in that video, Crrool, has a video with >1k views where he shows the trick off and talks about it. He appears to deliberately get the message for changing the date and then use the 23:59 trick to skip the penalty too. This confuses me. What I'm doing should be working.

My latest idea is that when I turn the game on and let the time roll over, I'm going to play the game instead of just idling in Goldenrod. Might as well do some levelling.

As for HG, I'm not sure how to get the last upgrade to the Safari Zone, I've traded 99% of worthwhile Pokemon over and am considering restarting since it might end up being faster.

This was on a DS Lite.
10 days and no sign of Seviper in the Marshland. Something must be preventing it from working.

If I can get Baoba to call me on HG I'll at least have 2 games to work with. I'm really not sure what would prompt him to though. Maybe he's a real time wait too.

Calwings posted...

It's very possible. I would wait 2 days without doing any clock changing and see if it works then, so that way you know for sure there's no lock active.

Bit late for that. I already started testing with the 10 day wait for Seviper.
On HG I just caught a Sandshrew for Baoba and am trying to get him to call and tell me about placing objects. Already have the National Dex so I'm not sure what I could do to speed it up.

SkittyOnWailord posted...

The one important thing about the Safari date skip. You need to wait until 00:01 before saving each time. Just doing 00:00 won't work.

I did that. I made sure it was efficient. I set it to 23:59, made sure to get into the game as fast as possible, cycled in and out of Goldenrod a few times in case I needed to trick the game into thinking I was actually playing. Only turned it off after it reached 01.
Should probably just watch one of those National Dex speedruns and follow it exactly.

I tried the skip trick. It didn't work.
However I've been moving back and forth all over the place trying to catch different things. If there was a lock, it was probably already active.
I'm gonna go for other Pokemon in the meantime and when it's viable again, I'll try the trick on one of the 10 day wait Pokemon.

Imagine if they released KOTOR 2 with the restoration mod but you still have to play through Peragus each time.

About 310. Zangoose, Seedot and Mawile found. These were three I was concerned about so that's great.
Currently passing one day at a time and collecting swarm Pokemon until 30 days pass and Solrock spawns in.

Not a fan of this waiting on the Safari Zone to develop mechanic.

Yeah.
After he eats the super mushroom, his name is Super Mario.
Before that, when he's like the size of a regular at the local stepladder emporium, his name is Sup.

Btw, after finishing the national dex in gen 4, a playthough of Black or White (one) is a ton of fun. You just "caught em all," and now you have a whole new region with the largest dex. It's exciting to explore the grass in each new area, because you know the pokemon will be stuff you don't have yet.

I actually replayed White 1 for the first time last year and I really liked, it's still the most recent game I've played. I didn't dislike it the way a lot of people hated gen 5, I was just moving toward other interests at the time.

I have a really high opinion of it now. Ferrothorn is probably the most fun Pokemon to use. The QoL changes are insane in that game too.
Still disappointed that after months of searching it's been impossible to find White 2 at a good price.
