Next time, David, next time.<BR/><BR/>Since you're tooling around, I'd like to suggest that you check out the beauty pageants. When I played Sapphire, many years ago, these contests turned out to be the biggest time suck that the game provided. What I like about the beauty pageants is that it repurposes all the moves that your pokemon have for fighting and turns them into beauty pageant ones. Where in the past, you might, say, pick up a zubat and never use it since it has shitty moves, or is at a low level. The pageant forces you to reconsider your pokemon and their uses besides trading and battle fodder. The rexamination of your guys reminds me of what Decipher did with their CCGs, creating new cards that forces you to go into your binders and use so called "useless cards". It's pretty smart on the designer's part and I hope that there's more instances of this later on in the game.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197938716997883236noreply@blogger.com
