I like how it tackled the issue of transhumanism, which is something I knew little about. Plus, the guns were fun to use.
Also, good so far on the ideas for the team.

Yeah transhumanism is pretty cool stuff. Most of what I know comes from reading Ray Kurzweil's "the singularity is coming"
If I had to critique it, it would be this:sextus the crazy said:
You start out the game too weak, and end up way too strong.
The maps are a bit too large.
Batteries only recharge for the first one
Ammo is way to expensive and takes up way too much space
4 endings by pressing a button?
Otherwise, good. Barely beats out Skyrim for me. I had fun with that game. I hope both have some DLC soon (I didn't play Missing Link, but I heard it wasn't great)

its a bulky mother at 105 sp def, 90 def, solid attacker at 70 each, decent health in 75 hp and somewat quick with 80 speed. it has nature cure which removes status on switch out and in the dream world it has cloud nine wihcih negates weather damage. has all the resistances of a dragon, all the bite of one too with dragon dance, outrage, dragonbreath/pulse, earthquake solarbeam, ice bmea, flamethrower. Learns a good many flying moves other dragons cant.
has rest, roost, heal bell, can wall, can fight, can support to a degree. I've even seen trainers in nuzlockes take them from the swablu stage all the way to the end and face and win against its more "superior" dragons like salamance, like garchomp.
Its is incredibly far from being useless.
Personally, I'm not too fond of the Swablu line, but only because they look a little really ridiculous. I don't hate them, but I never used them.sage42 said:

Here's the team we've got.

No.
Oh, wait. That wasn't an option
Next room...
I don't know, I heard that place was

Take em out quickly. That's what I did.
It's not that. I'm just more powerful
Glacia? That's a pretty

I'm glad I could please you.

Wait.
Again, I hit hard and hit fast
Yeah. This is a little unfair.
Time for the big guns!

Question time: Of all the elite four members in all the games which one(s) do/did you like? For me, Drake is my favorite. I'm not too fond of Lorelei, though. If only because I called her "L'Oréal" for a while by mistake. Oh, and Lance, before he became the champion. He was cool.
Ah yes the Elite Four, love that title even when they piss you off, on some occasions you just can't hate them. (Except for Agatha, Agatha can go to hell.)
As for my favourite members, I'll pick one from each region.
1.Kanto Elite Four. Lance my first though when facing him for the first time, was "I want a Dragonite."
2.Johto Elite Four. Karen Dark is my second favourite type next to water, plus I loved that bad girl look she give off. That and she did say something pretty cool after her defeat in Heartgold/Soulsilver. ("Strong Pokemon, weak Pokemon. These are just common misconceptions made by selfish people, a real trainer fights with the Pokemon they love the most.")
3.Hoenn Elite Four. This is a tough one, but I'm going to go with Glacia, just because how classy she looks, Sidney comes in a close second.
4.Sinnoh Elite Four. Aaron, he made me see the Bug type in a whole different light.
5.Unova Elite Four. Catlin, still say she was the most challenging member, but I like Grimsely as well.
Oh and the Hoenn Elite four theme is awesome. (Starts humming it)

My former boss (Of sorts. It's complicated) told me that it was just cut content that didn't add much to the story. I haven't heard many glowing reviews of it either.SirBryghtside said:Huh, just stumbled upon this (little bit late), but it looks interesting. Have to admit, RSE is my least favourite of the series - that's in world, Pokémon design and level-scaling, but I guess that stuff doesn't really matter when I'm watching someone else suffer through it
Missing Link was awesome, I don't know where you heard that!CM156 said:
Only problem with it is that it doesn't really add anything new gameplay-wise. But the story is great, and the boss doesn't suck.
Also:
I looked at the battles and thought "there's no way that your pokemon out sped and OHKO'ed all of the elite4." and then I looked at your pokemon's levels. Durp.CM156 said:
You must have done so much grinding that your pokemon would be a fine powder at the end.
as for the E4, Flint, sidney, Shauntal, and Grimsley seemed pretty cool. BTW, what's up with the spikes in drake's area. They seem to be protruding from flesh in the ground.
Why the hell did you not teach swampert surf or waterfall? I can undestand keeping Muddy water, but water gun? really?
... eh.
anyway, to your questions:
Kanto - Lorelei, just cause i didnt care for anyone else in that league/she gve me the most trouble. Not I dont remember why, I think it had something to do with me not having any ground or fire types cause I didnt think Id need them. And ebcause this was before vaporeon got moves like wish and an abilitiy like water absorb I couldnt just tank the shit out of her with it.
Jhoto - Im gonna say Karen. She packed an Umbreon which was a *****, and because shes the only real new character (no, Koga doesnt count), and I didnt like will as much, she wins by default. plus... she was kinda hot to me back then, but I was younger. she still is kinda cute, and I know a friend has something special for her.
Hoenn - Drakes the man, nuff said.
Sinnoh - Probably doesnt count but I would say Cynthia, and shes my favorite Champion too. She seemed like the kinda girl I would get a long with.
Unova - Caitlyn. I was just glad to see her getting some major screen time and night being that silent, I need my man to fight my battles for me.

Next time: Post-game wrap-up
Question: Which Elite Four + Champion combo did you find the hardest? For me, it's the one from Gen 1. I've never beaten Gary Oak as champion.

EDIT: Always forward, never left or right
Wow, its kinda sad to think that you'll be finishing this up soon. Hopeflly we'll get another one (I always like pokemon LP's in particular or screeen shot ones that can add humour, I just cant watch a straight up LP), but thats up to you.CM156 said:
As to the question...
Gary never really gave me an issue, But i had pretty much every counter I needed (that and I went with Venasaur so charizard is insanely easy when you a bringa vaporeon to that fight and it just trucks four of his pokemon. I will say that choosing Blastoise created some problems, cause i dont pick vaporeon up when I do and that just makes it a ***** to deal with. Though really Gary's weakness is a sturdy water pokemon no matter which pokemon you choose (even Charmander, though that Gyrados can be a pain if youre not packing some volts) since with ice beam you can beat at least 3 of his pokemon (four if you can hit that exaggutor quick enough or withstand the shot. his alakazam is really the hardest pokemon to deal with, but all you need is a dark type with a good physical attack and decent sp. def. Or something that can hit physcially hard, cause thats where it hurts it the most. In Gen one, all you really need is a durable physically hitting pokemon (I have success with Rhydon to be honest) and you can crush his Alakazam despite that bullshit stat mixing the first gen did.
Lance was even more of a joke, but then again, i thought most of that elite four was an I ran through them with three pokemon (Vaporeon, Typhlosion, Amphoras). Send out Amph to beat his Gyrados and then just swept with vaporeon ice beam, while my Typhlosion just kinda hanged back and chilled out.
the third generation nintendo and gamefreak realized that they needed to stop giving me a chance to use vaporeon to just crush my opponent, but Stephen isnt all that difficult really. His team is largely a joke and yo only really need two or three types to effectively sweep him. Plus they gave my Flygon (cause before I would just rip shit up with dragonite when my vaporeon needed a breather) and when he learned sandstorm my battle plan effectively changed to what I recommended and I just statused the hell out of the Elite 4. but thats only if I have a swampert, my battle strategy changes completely with blaziken.
Cynthia straight up worked me over the first time I fought her and did a complete wipe of my team. the second time I tried was a nuzlocke (since I have a rule in game [even regular] if I dont beat the E4 and champ I just stop playing and start over) was even worse, cause that fucker flint (yeah, i dont like him, even as a chracter. it doesnt help that he reminds me of pennywise either) killed my cherrim, and my rapidash was taken down by Lucians Bronzong. So when I went to face her with just four pokemon, Cynthia just bent me over a chair and gave me another ass stomping. the third time I finally beat her (and that damn milotic, I swear thats her hardest pokemon to beat). However, even though she handed my balls back to me twice, i could never really hate her. thats why shes my favorite Champion and E4 Member.
Alder actually left my disappointed. N was harder, and that was after my Zekrom completely destroyed his Reshiram (though to be fair I didnt use Zekrom in the battle after that. but then again, i didnt use him or any other ubers against alder). he's got a real weakness to Fire in that two of his pokemon are x2 weak to it and one is x4. You factor in he's got a Bouffalant thats x2 weak to Fighting (and a lack of anyhting to hit super effective against it), a dragon thats x2 weak to ice, and his "ultimate" pokemon Volcarona is x2 weak to water, you can effectively go in there with a dharmatan (with his fire attacks and hammer arm) and Samurott (who learns a fighting move revenge, ice type blizzard, and water attacks like surf and waterfall) and sweep his team with just two pokemon (which i did). And the Elite 4 are so much tougher the secound time through.
...
so yeah, Im going to say Cynthia, cause shes the only one that provides a challenge and still beats me from tiem to time even when I prepare for her.
EDIT: also, I notice you didnt use marcargo or cacturne in the final battle. Or at least I dont think you did.
Gary was kinda hard, but that was due more to the terrible balance and poor move sets of almost all of the pokemon (back in RBGY) (back then mews "learn all the TMs" ability was much more useful)CM156 said:[HEADING=2]Let?s Play: Pokemon Ruby 29: In which we realize that some things never change[/HEADING]

Question: Which Elite Four + Champion combo did you find the hardest? For me, it's the one from Gen 1. I've never beaten Gary Oak as champion.
In 3rd gen he was a challenge again, especially in round 2.
Honestly, Cynthia was the only one who was a challenge (mostly due to Garchomp)
Lance was low leveled so I plowed through him.
Steven was destroyed by Blaziken.
Wallace was somewhat of a challenge, but I never lost to him.
Alder was really easy because of the terrible typings his pokemon had. (bug is shit at taking hits.)
It has to be the Sinnoh Elite four, lead by Cynthia. They new how to defend themselves against there Pokemon's weakness and Cynthia herself, was just plain difficult. That Dragon Rush attack from her Garchomp never once missed against me and it was always a critical hit. Guess I just have bad luck.
