So... where do I go now? Well, that's why I brought along my Magic 8 Ball!
*shake*
Hmm, "All signs point to GO TO THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR, YOU FUCKTARD!"
I'm still not sure why the marketers put such an oddly specific instruction on there, it doesn't really make sense. That's what I get for buying my stuff at PlotPoint'R'Us!
What happened to my fortune cookies?
Hm, lets see whats in this house...
There's one room with a TV, bookshelves, a desk, a plant, a laptop, and a.... whatever the heck that thing is. No fridge, oven, bed, or bathroom in sight.
Either that, or they're behind all this... black.
Whenever an NPC tells you their name at the start of a conversation, it ALWAYS means they're a very important character!
Wait, so you're the one who makes sure all my Pokemon don't die instantly in a server crash? And they're all kept in that BigGenericShinyThing(tm) in this tiny, easy-to-steal-from house?
By any chance, do you have Bill's number?
Alright, that's rather completely out-of-the-blue... but its a good bribe, I'll give you that.
It is, at some point, customary to make a comic book reference in any videogame commentary!
I do have to wonder about the mental state of a man who decides to try invent a method of converting living creatures into data...
Of course, the Eevee she just gave me gets stuffed in her PC anyway. What comes around, goes around.
In actuality, I would be using it in the gym boss if it wasn't a Pokemon that only has Normal-type attacks.
And now back to what we originally came here to do: beat up French women!
Umm... y'know, this is the third time I've come here. I'm not quite sure why you keep on forgetting that...
What, you're not even courteous enough to change the splash animation? Not even the colour? Well I am unimpressed!
So lets see how good this Jew is at getting rid of resurrected Pokemon.
Man, I am gonna get in so much trouble over the Jew stereotype!
This, folks, is what we call "A Slow Battle". In case you can't tell, that's after two rounds, not one.
I am both disgruntled at your use of potions straight at the start of a battle (it must really cost a lot to use one every time you're challenged to a match), and relieved that you're using it on such a pathetic Pokemon!
Aaaaaaand bollocks. Remember earlier where I said Will-O-Wisp was only good on long fights?
I'm not quite sure why I didn't do anything about the burn and continued to fight. It wasn't a very smart move, in hindsight.
Well that was about the cheapest kill-steal ever!
I sense a lot of Rule34 will arise from Psychick's pose...
Yeah, sending psychics against ghosts still isn't a good idea. Maybe I shouldn't have brought two of them along...
I am getting so daisies sick of my Pokemon constantly getting confused!
Of course, the confusion did nothing whatsoever. It only lasted for one turn, in which it didn't stop Chargedog. From biting the incorporeal ghost for huge amounts of damage.
This world still confuses me!
Mid battle Wootinary!
Y'know, I rather wish that she'd actually use a different move than that...
Aw c'mon, I don't even get a fighting chance! Stupid overpowered attacks...
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! WHY?! WHY MUST THEY USE SUCH ANNOYING MOVES?!
Monkey Man vs Ghost Girl. Place bets now!
Wukong only gets a cameo role in this match...
...I'm sensing a case of Deja Vu here...
THE CONFUSION! IT DOES NOTHING!
And, of course, it knocks her out in one go. Why did I save this Pokemon for last again?
Wait, I suppose I have Psy Guy left. I didn't even bother to let him out to try fight.
Umm... how could you know why you lost before now? I mean, you were winning back then!
Well its about time! So what macho macho equivalent of Psychick can we expect from this?
Right... I know it was physically impossible that there'd be a different turn of events, but that is still
really disturbing!
I need to go wash out my eyes now. With lighter fluid.
Well, not really. I mean, you lost to a lawnmower making a gust of wind. I think it may just be that your Pokemon are horribly horribly weak.
3 WOOTINARIES OUT OF 8! YEAH!
What?
What?!
Why in the twelve gods did I do this gym challenge if all I get is a HM that only makes areas up on high hills easier to see in?!
I don't know how Warp Panels work. I don't want to know how Warp Panels work. All I know is that they get me from one spot to another, and possibly involve tearing the user up into individual atoms and transmitting them that way.
But for as long as nobody tells me how they actually work, I'm fine with pretending they make you go using unicorn laughs and kitten purrs!
I really wish people would stop taking my Pokemon away from me so much...
And now at last, I'm finally free to...
Actually, I'm not sure what to do now. I mean, I was in such a rush down here to get the Ralts that I'm not sure what other Pokemon I should be training. So...
PUBLIC OPINION TIME!
Simply put, I'm looking for suggestions (including reasons) for what Pokemon team I should use, either from the list of caught Pokemon above or from
the full list of catchable Pokemon in Sinnoh. Just remember that it can't involve trading, or not be in Platinum.
Some that I'm particularly interested in:
Magnezone - because its awesome, and is resistant to nearly everything. Problem arises in that I already have an electric Pokemon.
Porygon - Yes, Porygon. Because even as a stage 1 Pokemon that I won't be able to evolve until post-game, its still Porygon!
Lucario - One of the more memorable Pokemon, it has some excellent fighting ability.
Houndoom - KILL IT WITH HELLFIRE!
Rapidash - Its a rather formidable fire Pokemon. Only problem is that it won't evolve until level 40.
Blissey - Its a fucking tank! With a rather good Special Attack too, which is finally useful with the advent of Special-type Normal attacks.
Probopass - Rather tough and rough. But I think I've made too many offences already with it and its Jewliness. Waa Waa We Wa!
Foo-eon - Eevee's evolutions are always good at fighting. Particularly interested in Glaceon.
Togekiss - one of the most powerful normal Pokemon there is, especially with Hyper Beam. But I have this one on my Pokemon Pearl game, so I'm thinking not.
NOT Garchomp - Stop suggesting it already, dammit!
