On the same page as Twilightfairy mentioned, when Katarina is selected from the DLC drop down list, her class default isn't set to Grandmaster, but rather Sage like her SpotPass self. Here is a link for ease of reference.

I voted Falcon Knight and Mage Knight out of preference, but I put Assassin because it means the team will have a legitimate-ish Thief (Lockpick access, but no Steal...)

Like I said, Rosier turns the Isher fight into a joke, but turning it into Longinus meant that I had to buckle down and actually legitimately win that fight, rofl!

Ah, yes, that's true! I forgot about Ch. 4! Thinking back, I still haven't been able to S-Rank the Fool... And Archangel (yeah, an obsessed Dept. Heaven fan knows what you mean, even though I've only scratched the surface of Episodes II and IV personally, I've seen most of Yggdra Union through LP's) also has Holy Immunity that negates the normally excellent Disaresta finish. Coupling that with the aforementioned issues for Ein and Serene, and you've got problems... On the flip side, it's fun seeing Lina laugh off Angelic Thunder due to her natural Lightning Res ^w^ Speaking of times when Disaresta is useless, there's the fight where you initially get the Over Skill, namely the Isher fight. Seeing Isher guard an ENTIRE 8-HIT COMBO when one hit would kill him is immensely aggravating. One time I said "Screw it!" and unleashed Fia's Cadenza using the single use Rosier (XGuard property ftw!), then I was slightly irked on later runs when said Rosier was replaced by Longinus due to S-Ranking Seth-Ra on my first try...

This thread needs more Dept. Heaven!

Riviera the Promised Land can be easy as heck once you can start grinding out those Skill Ups for stats early in Chapter 2, but the PSP version of the Bonus Dungeon is a whole different story. You practically have to treat every battle like a boss battle due to limited item stock, marginally passable stats, and only weapons that you find pre-mastered will give you Over Skill access (meaning no Skill Ups). On top of that, there's also the fact that battles give 1 less TP compared to the main game, meaning you absolutely have to S-rank every single battle, and even then, one wrong choice could even block you from proceed off of even the first screen! Another case of where the challenge doesn't arise from the boss specifically but from a change to the game mechanics is Eternal Sonata's Mysterious Unison bonus dungeon. Upgrading your Party Level to the maximum Level 6 may seem awesome, with the benefits of Echoes carrying over between battles and maximum Harmony Chains increasing from 3 to 6, allowing to make a full chain of all three battling party members' special attacks. This would be fine and dandy if it weren't for the introduction of moving commands, which shuffles around the functions of your Attack, Guard, and Special buttons randomly when you execute a Harmony Chain. Makes things rough until you get used to it. As for a specific boss, I'd have to say Tenshi from Touhou 10.5 was annoying when I was a noob who didn't know how to guard or graze...

Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification. ^w^

I'm a total Yellow fanboy, but all in all I like all the characters. On a side note, is White really a Dex holder? I recall that at the beginning of the B/W arc, the three Dex holders of Unova were supposed to be Black, Cheren, and Bianca, but the latter two's Pokedexes were water damaged and needed repair... Am I behind on the story or something?

I've gotten a Shiny Nidorino in FireRed's Safari Zone, and friend who was IV breeding Eevees traded me three shiny ones that had suboptimal IVs. That's all for me...

A fellow Eeveelutions fan, huh? SWEET! Activating Sarcasm Mode: Colosseum and Gale of Darkness say Hi. Deactivating Sarcasm Mode. (lol just kidding around ^w^) Anyways, I like how this has become more of a favorite team thread rather than a perfect team thread. Well, here's my two cents: Umbreon (Curse+Payback is fun ^w^) Braviary/Staraptor (Flyers with good offensive potential) Glaceon (Strongest raw power off of Blizzard, ho!) Espeon (Magic Bounce is hilarious [and OP]) Emolga (Volt Switch + U-Turn makes for hilarious casual PVP, and there's also Flying Gem Acrobatics) Milotic (Aqua Ring + Lefties + Recover + Marvel Scale = Bulky! Me like!)

BTW, doesn't Crystal have a Tutor for Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt outside the Goldenrod Game Corner on certain days? If I'm remembering that correctly, then that could potentially have some influence on a few Pokemon who would get, for example, Boltbeam access that would normally be denied due to not having arms and fists... However, the flip side is the coin cost, of course.

Funniest thing I ever did: I gave Ike Miracle, screwed up horribly on Blood Runs Red, and found out that the Black Knight and Ike have a further dialogue exchange if Ike somehow survives a round with him. Double Miracle activation is awesome! ^w^

Oh, okay, it was on the available list, so I didn't notice. Thanks ^w^ EDIT: Oh, I just remembered... Are the GR battles for the GR Coin pieces on the first island a part of the point total?
