LEGENDS: 'ZA

Image
*spoiler alert in case anyone ever actually sees*   Finished a 100% playthrough of Legends Z-A (on YouTube.) Unfortunately the player labeled it thus even though he left off Mabel 's research at level 43/50...and there doesn't seem to be anywhere that shows going through all the levels (like, the actual receipt of the TMs and hearing what the next reward'll be...) That was the longest playthrough that had been there, so unlikely that another would include the remaining 7 levels if it didn't, and even if one did, where tf would they be? Supposedly you get a shiny charm or some shit for completing it all. Anyway, hopefully whenever Bulbapedia gets their quote pages updated, that stuff'll be on Mabel's. 'Cause, she's da best. (Wonder how long it'll take for the site to work reliably again though. It'd be nice to be able to listen to all the however-friggin-many stupid Master Sex events' scripts/summaries read aloud, heh.) But no, I will not miss...

[pokepost 8] summarizing best characters

 ...again? Kinda? More visually. 'Cept for the list of those who were unpictured due to being anime-exclusive, or just stupidly discluded from the 'waifu' thang, or whatever. Continuing from bottom of previous post, and whole pokemon label really.    Top 4 best and most wonderful, fascinating, etc.: Cassidy, Butch, Faba, Wicke  ^w~ #AntagonistsAndVillainsRULE #EspeciallyRedeemed1s #AndTeamRocketROX #GoEvilTeamsGo #ReallyLuvTheGruntsToo #EspAllTheRocket1s   *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*   Can't keep replacing the 7/27 comment, so I'll just have to continue with a little log of good and/or interesting ships 'cause I keep seeing 'em pop up... Lysandre/Malva (orrrr any of the Flare girlies Ig. Or Diantha!) | Steven/Zinnia | Leon/Sonia (alternative to Raihan) | Cyrus/Cynthia (or poor Alder, man!) | PAUL/URSULA (oh good, I wasn't the only one who thought of that! Guess it'd be the best option, since same re...

Pokemon Timelines+Visual Companion 5th Ed., PT. II

  book notes continued from Pt. I : "Cousins, identical cousins" Excellent Patty Duke reference! And some other good song refs I'm noticing (just queued up a couple on Spotify while flipping back through the Kalos chapter...) Into the Woods! ^o^ Sableye, Charizard, Aggron, very possible Houndoom and Altaria, Alakazam...oh, just imagining some fave-character mega-evolution (not that they couldn't catch some of the other species capable of it...*cough Manectric cough*) Come to think of it, Gallade is weird because Kirlia is one of those species so feminine-looking, I couldn't imagine there being male ones without significant sexual dimorphism. Strange when feminine mons evolve from masculine-looking ones or vice versa (e.g. the Popplio and Sobble lines.) "Together ever since"--well not really, just in Unova and the revengers reunion episode. "This is the boss, and I'm sick of waiting. I WANT PIKACHU! And this time, don't screw it up!" ...

Pokemon Timelines+Visual Companion 5th Ed., PT. I

    I Christmas-gifted myself these two items off the official Pokemon gift guide. Timelines is clearly meant to be the 5th-Edition Visual Companion's companion. In a great many cases, what's notably missing from one is included in the other. In conjunction they do provide a comprehensive overview of the series. Neither attempts to tackle it episode-by-episode, which would essentially be like trying to print a massively condensed version of the Bulbapedia guide onto paper. And painstakingly correcting any and all errors *therein*, hopefully. But they handle it in what I suppose is the optimal manner--organizing all the important people, information, and most significant events region by region. Errors of the grammatical variety (spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, and such) abound, in the VC especially. Its Kalos chapter was particularly egregious, with mistakes in seemingly every other sentence. There's much inconsistency, with some sections considerably better-written th...
