Why though? 2 hours ago, Pengaius said: Vaporeon is one of two Eeveelutions in this game worth a damn, the other being Glaceon, but you can only evolve Eevee into Glaceon in the Ice Kingdom. Vaporeon has a boatload of HP, strong Attack, good Defense and Speed that holds up quite nicely. It's attack Hydro Pump is like using both Bubble and BubbleBeam at the same time (minus the chance to reduce speed tho), Water absorb converts damage from Water type moves into HP, which isn't too useful at this point but can combo well with our Water types. Are the others bad due to attack ranges? 2 hours ago, Pengaius said: Staraptor has great Attack and Speed and middling Defense (looks bigger due to item) and HP. Brave Bird is a powerful attack with an interesting drawback which I will get into later. Okay, so it's not recoil in this game. This should be interesting. I assume it'll be a tactical missile of sorts in future. 2 hours ago, Pengaius said: Empoleon over here is just MADE of Attack. Sure its getting boosted, but it's still naturally really high. It's Defense and HP are very good too. Speed is on the lower side, but it's serviceable. Hydro Pump is still pretty good. I doubt that's more than a 20% boost right? You're not kidding.

The date of birth of the oldest Nile crocodile in captivity (the 18th december, and it's a different crocodile to the oldest in captivity). Land-speed records (you know alligators run even faster than crocodiles), the various ways to tell the differences between crocodiles and alligators, from the fact crocodiles have a triangular snout and exposed teeth while alligators have a rounded snout and their teeth fit in the confines of their mouth, to the more obscure ones like the differences in the scale pattern and the fact crocodiles don't have a belly button scar from the umbilical chord but alligators do.

Thanks Oichi. The team is just the regulars for today. The Kingdom of Viperia Ninja lady wants to teach us a lesson. Also Hideyoshi is here, this time with moustache. !5 turn banner map. This is the last banner map in the game. It's rout forever after this. Ninja time. Large map kinda with lots of walls and some sealed off chambers, poison pools and some healing points. Its like an actual FE map. Also this banger. This map has another gimmick. These trapdoor tiles relocate any non floating Pokémon to another tile. Everybody who can other than Cubchoo who couldn't reach uses one. Staraptor heads the other way. The enemy move. Staraptor just destroys Monferno and blocks the passage so that Spiritomb can't use it. Cubchoo joins up with everybody, Empoleon takes the banner and Vaporeon busts open hidden chamber 1 to reveal some item boxes. The enemy take a banner. Staraptor is tired (movement goes to 1 and defense is lowered for a turn), Cubchoo gets a pep-talk, We get some items. Enemy move. We don't do much this turn. Nor do the enemy apparently. Vaporeon drinks water, Charmeleon barely beats Spiritomb with a boost, Aya AoEs and Cubchoo misses it's shot but it's fine since Golbat got crit (we were safe even if it didn't as Empoleon would have blocked the banner. Hello Arbok. Also Ekans claimed a banner offscreen. Empoleon, Staraptor and Cubchoo take out kobrA, and at this point we just have cleanup to do. Fast-forward to victory. Post battle results. We still can't recruit these guys. Now that we've finished the mission Flaaffy can now evolve. Ampharos is statistically very similar to Vaporeon, Good HP and Attack, decent Defense ans Speed. Thunder is the main reason that we held off on evolving for a bit. It's range is just not very helpful on tight close quarter banner maps like Viperia. The attack is very powerful but can have accuracy issues. All of this happens, I've already reviewed Ryhorn, so I won't do so again. Since there's a Special Warrior here, we gotta do this. Map, please ignore that I took this way too late into the battle. Larvitar dies. Enemy's turn. We can recruit him now. E n e m y ' s t u r n . We take out Anorith and start grabbing items. E n e m y ' s t u r n . We put the fish out of it's misery for game. Pots bottle. This occurs. This is the alchemist, where we can finally use up all the useless items we got like herbs and orbs and the like. I make some items, but I on't be using this place too much as there aren't very many particularly good items it can make. Also this stuff. September, Year 2 Travelling Merchant 2: Electric Boogaloo. I get rid of some sellables. I then blow all of my gold on promotion Items that we can't even use. Any guesses for Yaksha?

Batman had three Snake themed villains over the years. King Snake, Kobra, and Copperhead. King Snake being the newest, and Copperhead being the oldest. Following this logic... the third form of the Ekans evolution line should have been "Daehreppoc". Which is probably as good a reason as any to leave the line at two evolutions. But we could have had a Tsuchinoko Pokémon. I could give one a hint by the entomology of the word.. but I think I'll leave everyone in the dark for now. Do you feel clever doing this? We all hoped Sylvis wouldn't be punned.... I didn't. Update Spoiler Today we are attacking Yaksha, bu first we have to say hi to Bee Guy. Salve can be decent but usually isn't. Beedrill is an interesting Pokémon, as it's previous evolutionary forms are not present in the game at all. Unfortunately being unique doesn't make Beedrill good. Beedrill has mediocre stats all around and isn't able to evolve to fix them. Twinneedle is an alright move having good range and the ability to poison. Like Doubleslap it hits up to 5 times, however it actually does damage unlike Doubleslap. Vanguard is a neat ability that increases damage if the user acts first in a turn. Despite the decent move and ability Beedrill is held back by it's low potential for growth. Bring punchies and insects, leave the telepaths and spooks at home. The team, Gurdurr tags in for Staraptor. The Kingdom of Yaksha Oh no! An Edgelord! Look at him lording all those edges. 20 turn rout, nothing too unusual. This has got to be the least threatening intended threat ever. Edglord Map and Edgelord Music. Ignore that chunk at the end. We move, then they move that's how this game works. Gurdurr and Ampharos cripple Zoroark, Vaporeon chips Pawniard and Cubchoo finishes. Empoleon attacks Scrafty and Charmeleon tries to circle round. We take some hits but nothing too dangerous. The map gimmick. Remember those Thracia warptiles that were super annoying? Now imagine if instead of triggering when stepped on, you just randomly got a unit warped away before you turn. Oh well, it won't always warp the target into this room and sometimes it targets the enemy so it's not all bad. Anyway you can leave the room if you step on one of the grass tiles or can fly over the bars. Anyhow, we take out the edgelord and most of his goons. It's cleanup time. Bruh stole our money. Charmeleon takes out Scraggy and now we just need to grab our loot. We grab the rest of the items and Ampharos got warped a few tiles and zapped a tree out of anger. Gurdurr finishes Krookodile for clear. Post battle results. Good riddance Edgelord. Suddenly a pretty anime boy appears and tells us to give up. We aren't going to. Anyway, now that more of Ransei has been revealed we can see the full map of the Region. What an unusual shape. All this stuff happens. Battle 2. 10 turn rout. Map and Muzak. Lotsa portals. Scraggy portals, Kirlia doesn't. Kirlia chips Kirlia. Scraggy finishes. Kirlia moves. The enemy arrange themselves neatly. Scraggy warps. Kirlia moves down. Damage and Chip. Gothita warps. Charmander gets bullied. Someone got hit but I forgot who. Also Gothita is on top. Kirlia takes out Charmander. Kunoichi sets up her regen effect. We move to bait Gothita. Kirlia chips and Scraggy finishes. The blackscreen was me pulling a Ruben and failing to cap the victory pop-up. Post Battle. Kanetsugu's questionable reaction aside we got Gardevoir now. Gardevoir. powerful, speedy, alright bulkwise, just like Gallade but with a weird attack. Psychic has a weird hitbox, it hits every tile adjacent to one from 2 range. It's strong and lowers defense. The hitbox actually allows for some neat combos with Discharge users, or even just as an L shaped attack. Guesses for which is which? This lady buys some Power Wristbands and sells some stuff. This all happens. Next time Valora. Reset Counter: 1 Oichi (Jigglypuff) Death Counter 1: Rikyu (Darumaka) Happy New Year! Stay buttery, in 2021.

Why then would you not be able to get Beedril earlier when it could have more impact? Beedrill is not found in the wild during base game, as it only appears at 3rd level areas, by then you should already have strong volved Pokémon. The only other way to get Beedrill in your army is torecruit a Warrior who has one, but not many do. Are we sure he's not some other creature? Or just really committed to the emo ninja look? He just REALLY likes Zoroark. Wait, they give you stuff when they teleport you away? That's the most generous teleportation trap I've seen in some time.

But if he didn't lose the thing, she'd have a damn Jigglypuff.No, I was gonna bench that thing as soon as I could, it has not been missed. Update: Spoiler Today we challenge the kingdom of Valora, one of the worst maps in the game. Yaaay. This is how Steel type works. The team, lots of type advantage for us today. The Kingdom of Valora These guys have cool designs. Gee, they sure have given us a lot of turns for this rout map. Big industrial looking map, and big industrial sounding music. (this track is an honest banger) This map is one of the more annoying maps in the game, having obtuse map gimmicks and lots of single file corridors. It's hard to tell, but when a mon steps on a cog, the cog rotates, which raises and lowers the gates on the map. The enemy demonstrate the thing I just said, also these cameras move. Moving closer we beat up the Arons. The enemy move, afterwards Ampharos is placed in a dangerous position. After moving around a bit, Vaporeon takes out Chimeco and Ampharos takes a potshot at Metagross. Ampharos has to take a hit but Electric > Steel, so it's fine. Empoleon tries to snipe Aggron, but Metagross blocks it. Then Vaporeon hits Metagross. We take some hits, but not from Quagsire. We take out Metagross, but sadly Aggron tanks Gurdurr's attack. We get hit, Aggron grabs an item. Aggron goes down. Vaporeon breaks the item and Gurdurr attacks for clear. Altogether this went a lot better than it normally does. Post battle results. Winning. We spot a familiar face so we decide to say hi. Imma be real I forgot to get the cool inslide as well as the map, whoops. Pineco gets hit. We take some enemies out. They move. Things. Happen. More. Things. Happen. Randy please change the item text. We win these. Post battle stuff. Pineco evolved. Ignoring that i took these mid fight. Bustle is always good. Shinx is an okay Pokémon, Having decent Attack and Speed and moderate everything else. Sequence boosts the power of Electric types in a radius. Spark is just electric quick attack that does less damage the 2nd time onwards. Forretress is without a doubt the worst Pokémon in the game, because of 1 simple thing, it's move. Gyro ball is, uh not very good. See the thing about Gyro Ball is that it deals extra damage to foes that are faster than the user. The problem with Gyro Ball is that it has practically 0 base Power, and the move ignores the users Sttack during calculations. This means that despite having a rather impressive Attack stat, Forretress cannot use it. effectively the only things this move can hurt are glass speedsters. Additionally the move pushes the user forward 1 tile, as long as the target is on the same altitude as the user. Gyro ball effectively reduces the things that Forretress can do to sitting on banners to stall. However, since the attack moves the user forward, Forretress has to leave the banner to do it's 1 damage. Compare this to Pineco, who can use Bug Bite to munch on the enemies items while in the same position. Let that sink in. EVOLVING Pineco makes it worse in every way. The reason the Bottom 3 (Rhyperior £rd, Jigglypuff 2nd and Forretress !st) are the worst is because they are actively worse than their previous forms. (igglybuff is still trash, but it as pound which is better than doubleslap) evolving makes these Pokémon DIRECT DOWNGRADES to their previous forms. Anyhow back to this stuff. Abra evolves. Powerful, fast and with a good move to boot! Kadabra is a force to be reckoned with. Also, have a Gardevoir/Gallade comparison. It's catching up to us. Charmeleon evolves. Charizard is a low move flier, with great stats and a good move. Flamethrower is Hydro Pump, but it can burn. Charizard is excellent at what it does but it's movement can be annoying. Gurdurr evolved. Conkeldurr has a lot of Attack. Superpower is 1 range Brave bird but with Attack over move. By paying gold you can change your mon's ability, neat huh? Cubchoo evolved. Beartic isn't amazing, having low movement and Speed, but it's Attack and Move are quite decent so it's still decent enough. Icicle Crash is basically a strong ember that can cause flinching, Whoops Forgot to take a shot Scraggy evolved. Scrafty has Defense and thats just about it really. It's Attack and HP are okay but its Speed isn't. High Jump Kick moves the user forward one tile, but if they fail to land their hit they take a chunk of damage. I think you understand by now. Alakzam is ludicrously powerful, being very strong and very fast. It sucks defensively, but everywhere else it's pretty good. Psychic is neat tho. See title. Luxio is a more Powerful, but less bulky Flaaffy. That is all. Oh hey. Time caught up. Next time Nixtorm. Reset Counter: 1 Oichi (Jigglypuff) Death Counter 1: Rikyu (Darumaka) Stay buttery folks.

Keldeo's special form? 5 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Centre can be empty, doesnt have to be but can. Good to know, so it's not limited by that. The rest of my responses are me reacting to your review of mons, so I'll just put it here: Spoiler 9 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Ignoring that i took these mid fight. Bustle is always good. Shinx is an okay Pokémon, Having decent Attack and Speed and moderate everything else. Sequence boosts the power of Electric types in a radius. Spark is just electric quick attack that does less damage the 2nd time onwards. Why does Spark disappoint? I like Shinx too, oof. 10 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Forretress is without a doubt the worst Pokémon in the game, because of 1 simple thing, it's move. Gyro ball is, uh not very good. See the thing about Gyro Ball is that it deals extra damage to foes that are faster than the user. The problem with Gyro Ball is that it has practically 0 base Power, and the move ignores the users Sttack during calculations. This means that despite having a rather impressive Attack stat, Forretress cannot use it. effectively the only things this move can hurt are glass speedsters. Additionally the move pushes the user forward 1 tile, as long as the target is on the same altitude as the user. Gyro ball effectively reduces the things that Forretress can do to sitting on banners to stall. However, since the attack moves the user forward, Forretress has to leave the banner to do it's 1 damage. Compare this to Pineco, who can use Bug Bite to munch on the enemies items while in the same position. Let that sink in. EVOLVING Pineco makes it worse in every way. The reason the Bottom 3 (Rhyperior £rd, Jigglypuff 2nd and Forretress !st) are the worst is because they are actively worse than their previous forms. (igglybuff is still trash, but it as pound which is better than doubleslap) evolving makes these Pokémon DIRECT DOWNGRADES to their previous forms. Anyhow back to this stuff. So they did him dirty, ooof. Gyro ball's formula doesn't really work for the stats in this game, that's one issue, at least it can be a literal wall? Also, at least Wigglytuff exists, the other two are screwed (get to fix abilities but not change moves, how unfortunate) 11 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Abra evolves. Holy moly I'm actually really liking the expressions in this game for once. Good job Kadabra. 12 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Powerful, fast and with a good move to boot! Kadabra is a force to be reckoned with. Also, have a Gardevoir/Gallade comparison. Looking forward to Alakazam. Innate Regen, range, power and speed, this is legit class cannon here. 12 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Charizard is a low move flier, with great stats and a good move. Flamethrower is Hydro Pump, but it can burn. Charizard is excellent at what it does but it's movement can be annoying. So Charizard doesn't get Fire Blast? That and having the same move as fliers in FEH aside, Charizard seems alright. Thanks to how terrain is, I can see why it's move is troubling. 13 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Conkeldurr has a lot of Attack. Superpower is 1 range Brave bird but with Attack over move. I'm peeved it has more move than Charizard. And not even that it has that much move. So it can do what Foretress does better in it's ability, Superpower is probably powerful on it's own- >That Attack stat. 13 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Beartic isn't amazing, having low movement and Speed, but it's Attack and Move are quite decent so it's still decent enough. Icicle Crash is basically a strong ember that can cause flinching, Wasn't Ember at 1 range? And you know, not dropping an icicle on someone? And that pose is kinda goofy, like it's cheering in the stadium. 13 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Scrafty has Defense and thats just about it really. It's Attack and HP are okay but its Speed isn't. High Jump Kick moves the user forward one tile, but if they fail to land their hit they take a chunk of damage. Still better tank than Foretress stat wise. Sure that typing, but still. 14 minutes ago, Pengaius said: Luxio is a more Powerful, but less bulky Flaaffy. That is all. I mean, more Power, right?

How dare you! I'll have you know, there's roughly 60 characters that beg to disagree. There's even one or two that were my enemies when my wrath consumed them! *67 Why, you little-- That wasn't necessary, Butterman! Nyohoho Valora kinda reads like Valery Get it now? Sure I guess. You fool! I shall instead wait patiently and politely for the next update! I have foiled your plans with my tactical genius! Ruben will wait patiently for his revenge but only for 7 months, after that something something Inevitable End. Oh no, these guys look really powerful. We should layasu down our arms. you've Fightba'd yourself again Ruben. Why are they talking like they die after their pokemons get beaten up? That's not how this world works! After you lose you don't die, you just make a dumb face and die inside! Look dont question this okay. Wasn't Buttface's name different last we saw him? Different guy Ruben. Armor knight pokemon! Armor knight pokemon! Use it. N O. So many evolutions today. It's almost as if the title of the update itself said that there would be many evolutions. Le Shock.

Innate Regen, range, power and speed, this is legit class cannon here. Oh Kadabra's great. So Charizard doesn't get Fire Blast? Nope that honour goes to Darmanitan, and it's one hell of a move. That and having the same move as fliers in FEH aside, Charizard seems alright. It's pretty damn good. >That Attack stat. Indeed. Wasn't Ember at 1 range? And you know, not dropping an icicle on someone? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Still better tank than Foretress stat wise. I mean there is a 10% Link difference but yeah. Sure that typing, but still. it's cool fairy type doesn't exist yet. I mean, more Power, right? It's a coin-toss between the two really. Whapdatty Spoiler Today we are headed to Nixtorm. As always Oichi gives us advice for the coming battle. The team today is smaller than usual, partially because this map can be awkward to move a lot of 'mons on, but mostly because I want the space to do things in the Kingdom this month ( I didn't end up doing anything in this kingdom because nothing I cared about was in the wild. The Kingdom of Nixtorm Oh damn, this really is just the plot of Conquest. 25 Turn rout map, that's a lot of turns, why do we need so many? Mitsuhide is so pretty, shame he's a Camus. Oh and Gracia is here too, she hopes we're ready or whatever. Map and Music, this is the best track in the game, if nothing else PLEASE, PLEASE give it a listen, they really pushed the DS soundboard to its fullest with this. This map has two gimmicks. Snow that reduces movement and Ice that really really increases it beyond control. Thankfully you an undo any slide movement which is just a Godsend. Movement on this map can be kind of awkward, and I took these screenshots 7 months ago, so apologies if I can communicate what's going on very well. Anyway, turn 1 movement. Did I say this map has 2 gimmicks? Whoops, it actually has 3. The Ice panels over water move when a 'mon steps on them. Anyway, the enemies move and Gracia has a line. Anyway, Charizard melts Cubchoo, Vaporeon acts out that one part of the Bible and Conkeldurr breaks a Tree for a Potion. They move. Did I say 3 Gimmicks? I meant 4! Thin Ice turns into Cracked Thin Ice when a 'mon stands on it, and well, you'll see. I think Vaporeon got hit last turn for lol damage, but because quality LP I didn't catch it. Anyhow, we attack and move. I didn't even get any shots of EP, aren't you glad this Quality LP is back. Anyway, Vaporeon smashes some Ice through Lapras and using some cool positioning, Charizard and Ampharos attempt something cool, but Amphy whiffs it. Conkeldurr will do something any minute now. Conkeldurr falls asleep, truly a vital part of our team and Mitsuhide does whatever his Warrior Skill is (Crack Shot, not that I took any screenshots of Mitsuhides team comp, goddamn 7 months ago me, were you even trying?), hitting his Teammate to hit us. Talk abot cold *badum-tsh* The team pull off some awesome moves, dealing hard hits and managing inventory, while Conkeldurr does nothing, the lazy bum. D-did I just catch an entire enemy phase extremely well, 7 months ago me was inconsistent as hell. Anyway, we take some hits and Munna is reapplying Hypnosis so Conkeldurr won't wake up (which isn't even how the game handles Sleep, but since it can't make any other actions, it will keep on trying) 1 hit, 1 heal and 2 immobile. How exiting. Sealeo gets Paralysed, Munna applies a 3rd coat of Sleep, and Musharna fucks around and finds out with the Thin Ice. (it drops you in water, and if you aren't a water type the game forces you out the same way GBAFE units are when their rescuer dies on a peak tile). Mitsuhide is gone Krabby (not in the game) Rave. We also hit the others. Love how due to the fact Mitsuhide is gone the camera pans to Gracia who is second-in-command who is just dicking around at the top of the stage. Also nothing of note must have happened. Conkeldurr wakes up and chooses violence and Charizard and Vaporeon, do to Sealeo, something they call Blanching in the food processing world. Sadly funny Ice physics do not apply to shoved 'mons, but then again a Munna carcass sliding across an ice field like a goddamn curling stone may not have been PG. They're groovin. hashtagbearticisoverparty. At this point we are just waiting to beat Musharna to death so I'll just fast forward to the proverbial clubbing of the baby seal. And, we're done! Post battle results. Camus gonna Camus. All of this stuff happens. Now an unfortunate incident occurred after this. As you know, I try to feature two battles in every update so that updates have substance, usually I do the battles on separate months for better pacing of the update, which means I don't take screenshots of most auxiliary grinding battles, this coming battle was no different, however... ...Yep, we lost him in a non important battle. Charmeleon then attempted to evolve, which I had to refuse as his Pokemon was defeated and losers don't get to evolve. So yeah. On a separate note, Chikamasa's Empoleon has reached its Link Cap. Sadly Chikamasa's Perfect Link isn't empoleon (It's Wooper and Quagsire if you want to know) so his Empoleon will never get any stronger than it is now. This is the final relevant battle of this month. New month. We move Takatora into Pugilis, fight a battle that is completely unimportant and replace our cool Charmeleon with a Cottonee. These happen. Continuing from where Luxio left off Luxray is kind of just a worse Ampharos, along the line Luxray lost it's advantage in power against the sheep Pokemon to go all in with speed, which could have been good if it weren't for the fact that they're both locked to Thunder which is inherently sorta inaccurate, so you have the choice between the actually significantly more powerful and bulky Ampharos or the slighty more accurate and dodgy Luxray. It's actually a kind of sad mirror of the rivals in Pokemon games, where they start off even with the player but by the end of the game you stomp them into the dirt. Anyway, moving on. This also happens. And now we grind Ryhorn. 10 turn rout map. This map is small, so we can actually look at it from all angles. Our first turn we make a formation and Ryhorn picks up 2 items, the potion was obtained from destroying a tree if it wasn't immediately clear. Empoleon and Vaporeon soften Spheal for Ryhorn to Bulldoze. Conkeldurr takes a trip on an Ice Floe. Ryhorn misses a bulldoze and Vaporeon wipes out a Duskull, also items. Ryhorn lands his Bulldoze and we grab some more items. We grab some more stuff and Ryhorn closes in on the last enemy. We grab everything and... That's a wrap. Some nice stuff here. Rhydon Time. Rhydon is pretty darn good, its power and bulk are great and it doesn't have Rhyperior's ass-bad Range or Move. Drill run is like Gyro ball but not horrible. Its strong and has a high critrate. If you play right Ryhorn can move 3 times as far as Rhyperior in 1 turn. See now how bad Rhyperior is? Onward to Spectra. Reset Counter: 1 Oichi (Jigglypuff) Death Counter 2: Rikyu (Darumaka) Takatora (Charmeleon) Boy am I glad to finally have this out. I still intend on completing this LP (for the main game at least) but don't expect updates frequently, as I'm currently busy with college stuff. There probably won't be another update until at least October, but as can be seen from the 7 month hiatus, I'm not too good at keeping a schedule. Until next time folks, stay buttery.
