So the trendy phrase of Dewford is limited but back none the less. It's good it no longer effects Feebas though.
However, my randomly generated phrase when I got there was "Bright Powder Parties." O_O
Oh Gamefreak where do I even begin...
Now that just makes me want to look through all the items and find more evil things for them to say: Silver Powder, Lucky Punch, Quick Powder, Thick Club, Mental Herb, White Herb, Tiny Mushroom, Bug Mushroom, Stardust, Ether, Energy Powder, Quick Ball, Good Rod, Old Rod, & Super Rod. Good night!
Day 5 Comments:
1. Finished the Delta Episode! So, have my opinions on Zinnia change? Well, not really, though the game sort of try to explain why she acts as she does. In addition to knowing something we don't (which she eventually reveals after destroying the possibility for an alternate option, what a b****), they go with she's young so she's a bit impulsive. Also when summoning Rayquaza she reveals that her Whismur Aster is named after someone she was close to who passed away (of course they don't go into detail about it, which kind of prevents me from understanding why this person is important. Was Aster her mother? Sister? Mentor?). Anyway in the end I still don't like her, but then again now that her role of Lorekeeper is gone its implied she'll now go out and find a new beginning.
2. Well I guess I should talk about the reveal why Zinnia is stopping you teleporting the meteor away. Though first we find out she's a Draconian which are ancient people who worship Rayquaza thus train Dragon-type (hey, what about Flying-types?) and are responsible for summoning it again when a disaster is about to happen. Okay, fine, usual fantasy fiction stuff. It's also revealed the Draconians believe sacrifice is necessary and originally Zinnia was going to summon Rayquaza by helping Team Aqua/Magma wake up Kyogre/Groudon. Okay, a bit extreme and stupid, but I guess it also explains a bit about her character and why she treats everyone like they're not important.
So, then we found out the reason Zinnia is so against the plan to teleport the meteor because we have no idea where it'll go and it could very well teleport on trajectory to another inhabited planet. Okay, that makes sense, brings up a pretty good philosophical dilemma; could we really doom another unknown civilization even if it means our safety? BUT then Zinnia brings up that this isn't a possibility but actually what WILL happen and she even KNOWS the planet it'll be aimed toward. Okay... how? Please don't tell me she and the Draconian are aliens (an idea not helped as one point she said she can't become what she wanted to be, whatever that means). So Zinnia continues and reveals that the meteor will be sent to a parallel dimension and be heading toward a parallel Hoenn. This Hoenn is in a dimension where the Kalos War 3k years ago didn't happen and have no Mega Evolutions... yes, she's talking about the original Ruby & Sapphire. She says the original RSE exist in a parallel universe and since they don't have Mega Evolutions they don't have the technology the destroy the Meteor thus they'll be doomed.
Okay, where to start with this. Honestly Zinnia should have stopped at bringing up the point it could be teleported on course to another planet but after that she lost me. Really? RSE is an alternate universe and the meteor will be teleported to it? But wait, if RSE is an alternate universe then that must mean all games before Gen VI must be in the alternate universe. Why? Pokemon World Tournament. The Pokemon World Tournament in Gen V had the Hoenn Gym Leaders in it and they were there old design, thus Gen V must be in the alternate universe. And since the other region Gym Leaders were also in the PWT, that must also mean those games are also in the alternate universe. So basically everything before Gen VI had been written out of continuity.
AND, since they're now out of continuity, why should I care? Why should I care that it'll be destroyed? It's no longer the prime universe, it's not in our universe, how would its destruction effect us? A destruction of a planet in our universe? Yeah, that carries some weight as who knows if we may ever meet the inhabitants of that planet. But a universe which we're being told has been discontinued? Doesn't really hold much weight. Also, being we're playing the parallel universe card, what's preventing ANOTHER parallel Hoenn with Mega Evolution from deciding to destroy a parallel Hoenn who no Mega Evolution? Isn't one of the rules for parallel universes that for every possibility there's a separate universe where a different decision was made?
Let's just move on...
3. Speaking of destroying someone's home, I think the meteor was Deoxys' home. And remember Hoenn is a region where they stop construction as soon as it starts disturbing the nearby Pokemon.
4. So I got a decent Rayquaza, nothing special as it has a Nature which gives no positive nor negative effect. Also knocked out Deoxys, work on it later.
5. So actual post game stuff. It starts with Professor Rowan getting attacked by a Shroomish and you picking one of the Johto starters, nice, though no battle as the Shroomish was actually nice apparently (also I still had Rayquaza first in my party so it would kind of be overkill). Went to Battle Resort and found a few interesting things. Tabitha and Courtney make their only appearance so it was nice to see them in the game at least. Met the Magma/Aqua couple, but are they suppose to be the one from B2W2? But that couple didn't know the other was part of the rival team, but these two obviously do. Oh wait, that's right, B2W2 is no longer canon. Sorry, forgot. However what I think is the most interesting thing there is that Looker is here! But no mission this time, apparently he washed ashore and has amnesia (maybe he crossed parallel universes?). Will go there tomorrow and if anything changes.
6. Also I got both the bikes and did New Mauville which wasn't much. I have a suspicion there's more to New Mauville.
And I think that's it for today. Tomorrow I'll go hunting for Legendaries, Mega Stones, TMs, and other Pokemon I don't have registered yet. Also going to start going through Serebii's coverage to see if there's anything else.
