Bootleg apps are everywhere, and to some degree they're kinda hilarious. It's generally agreed that there's templates of some sort floating around that developers slap popular things onto in order to take the money of little kids who just buy it for the (stolen) brand.

On one end you've got basic stuff that's just a knockoff like Classic Marino, but then there's the really fun stuff that makes no sense or crosses unrelated stuff, like Sans Hero Adventure, FNAF dentist games, "Pixelmon GO", and San Andreas Crime Miami. Elementary-school kids eat this kind of stuff up.

Okay speaking of Pokemon (kinda), what is up with the Guzma in your avatar?

I took on the Flying E4 member first. I led with an Electric-type, but I wasn't counting on them leading with a part-Ground type. The resulting switch I had to make ultimately led to half my team getting wiped. I didn't think to restock on Revives and met my untimely end against the Rock user two battles later.

Pokémon Sun.

This game is easily the hardest Pokémon game since maybe 3rd gen, and I love it--Game Freak finally took the jump from making most peoples' strategies "random flailing" with a couple of unusually hard trainers here and there (e.g. double battle involving a Slaking ability swap, Wally the competitive-level superboss) to giving everybody a little bit of an AI boost and giving basically all the bosses some kind of trick strategy somewhere in their lineup, even just little things like allowing them to make tactical switches. Frankly, the improved AI alone makes playing through the story more fun than most of the other games.

Err, I hate to ask, but which Ground-type Pokemon does she use?  I don't remember Kahili having any ground-types in the original battle or any of the rematches I've had so far with her. 

I'm wondering if a Crusade/holy war period is just a part of the life cycle of religions. I mean, Islam's about as old as Christianity was in it's Crusade phase. Not so much the Jerusalem crusades, but Teutonic Order and whatnot.

Hopefully this one ends relatively soon >.>

Right so... presently working on a pretty successful Muslim Merchant Republic, and I'm considering getting Reaper's Due. Would it be wise to wait until I'm finished with this (started in earliest start, about to close in on the year 1200, no Aztecs or Mongols yet) and then buy it, or add the very real possibility of getting immediately hammered by the Black Death in my current game?

The Black Death was cool, but a little underwhelming. I expected a bunch of cool accompanying events, but all that happens is a ton of characters die, massive attrition for armies, provinces get "depopulated" (less levies + taxes, but it goes away after not too long) and... I think that's it. You hide in your castle until it goes away, and all is well. One time I  had a maxed out hospital in my capital by the time the plague hit, so it didn't even enter my capital province. YMMV, but I found it quite lackluster.

EDIT: This was on 2.6.1, dunno if 2.6.2 added much to it, but going off the patch notes, it doesn't seem like it.

Reaper's due also adds some other things, the most important of which being the new wound system. Now instead of generic maiming, you can lose an eye, leg, and so on.
