I...I think I might be losing weight. Just a little. I don't want to scale myself to find out for sure and possibly ruin the illusion but I feel somehow lighter.

: "Well, I can do blacksmithy things, obviously. Won't be much use in a fight and I'm no good at making weapons but I'm sure this castle of yours will need some fixing up after all's said and done.
In a fight I use anima magic, like this Wind tome. I prefer fire, but..."
She shrugged as if to say "take what you can get". "I also...um...tinker."

More fun with a team that's half-banned from multiplayer. Helper Star Sapphire isn't, but she's still top tier for good goddamn reason. Just cleared the Magma Admin Tabitha fight with a dead simple move order: Nasty Plot + Rain Dance when Tabitha's Rin came out first, Surf to kill it, then one Hydro Pump for each of the three others. And that's why coverage is important.

I think I found the download for this...how do I get it working? The Emerald ROM isn't the issue, it's the...whatever I have to do to turn it from Emerald to Amethyst. Patch, whatever. The readme covers just about everything except the install process.

* Sirus flails

Work's been exhausting and I've got a weird case of writer's block about the next segment, but those are lousy excuses for excuses. I'm gonna try to get back to this.

The one you're thinking of, the Nevada expy in Colosseum, was actually called Orre. Unova is the region in the GenV games, and while it covers a range of different places its main city, Castellia, is a dead-ringer for places like New York City or San Francisco - large bridges and massive skyscrapers.

If you thought the SunMoon demo city looked city-like, you clearly haven't seen Castellia.

Nope, that'd be Kalos.

Because Team Skull was either going to be Gangsters or... Gang...sters...

Anyhow the answer is "because America"

And as you know in the USA there is a gang on every street corner.

Actually the better explanation is that not only is it stereotypically American (just watch Anime for evidence of that)...

But the style of gangsters aren't Japanese and thus are rather separate from their experiences and thus they can make light of them.

The very same reason why the Cult in Earthbound was the KKK.
Alola is only really American in the very basic sense that Hawaii is one of the United States, though. It's an island paradise that could just as easily be compared to the Galapagos or Madagascar,  especially when you consider the new Alolan forms of several older pokemon. Those could easily be seen as examples of real-world evolution (as opposed to in-game evolution); species migrating to a new environment and adapting to it, much like Darwin observed.

Unova has more in common with mainland America than Alola, and their evil team went for a medieval cultist look.

So I think I'm done with the demo...maybe?

Jasmine shrugged dismissively at the woman's question.

: "Just a metalworking apron. Good leather, doesn't burn easily. Nice if you don't want molten metal splashing on you. The rest is just normal clothes like anyone's."

Clearly you should go with logikoopa.

My dreamjob turned out to be a very unhappy chore, so time for plan B.

*morphs into POSTMAN*

I went for 1st recruitment meeting after 8 hours of shifting boxes and empty stomach... and I passed with no objections to my conduit and tomorrow's 2nd recruitment meeting at the office I will be assigned to!!
don't go postal on us :V

Now that would be pretty cool. I wouldn't say that any of my characters looked bad in DBXV1, but they certainly could have looked less ramshackle while keeping the stats that complemented them.

It would still be better to have equip slots and cosmetic slots (wear whatever the hell you want while getting whatever the hell stats you want), or make clothing entirely cosmetic, but hey I'm not going to scoff at improvements.

: "Jasmine Efreeti, blacksmith and mage. Charmed."
Jasmine spoke clearly but rapidly, leaving little room for punctuation. She constantly glanced about at her surroundings, taking everything in.
