Lia Syuki Grey Moonfang IV Lia Syuki Grey Moonfang IV Lia Syuki Ah. Haven't gotten quite that far yet. Then again, that's probably because I keep getting distracted by Rune Factory 4 and Skyrim, lol. I'm sure I'll be (ab)using literal tons of beans soon enough, though. XD You get it at the same time as the Charizard Flight. To not spoil too much it's the 2nd Island. I have played and defeated Rune Factory 4 previously. Ah, okey. So I still have a bit to go, since I'm only starting out on Moon. As for Rune Factory 4, again, I'm starting out. Haven't even hit my first summer yet. I mean, I got swarmed with all three games around Christmas, and that's on top of still having a small pile of unfinished games to work through. XD I'm working through them, though, although Rune Factory 4 has some features that... Confuse me. Mostly, the soil-leveling system. I unintentionally skipped 3, only played a couple seasons of 1, and haven't played any of the console games in the series, so it's pretty weird to me after coming from Rune Factory 2. At least I'm still pretty decent at combat... lol I have a backlog myself, but generally stick to burning through one game at a time. I beat all 4 (5 if you count 2 being in two parts) Persona Games and I was in the middle of running through Birthright in Fire Emblem Fates (I beat Conquest already.), but then Sun Version took priority. I'm on the third island farming for an Electrizer. (What starter did you pick by the by?). As for Rune Factory. I played and beat the RF 1 once, was confused a lot early on and put a lot of use into my monster companions to fight for me. I never played RF 2 and was informed this was a good thing comparatively. I played R3 two or three times and still love it. I played R4 once and while I don't entirely understand the soil thing I handled it well enough by simply rotating my fields between seasons. But yeah I understand the pile of unfinished games. I still have quite the backlog myself, and I can't even play the one on major/not handheld consoles right now. Once I'm done with Sun Version which includes breeding and training a competitive team, I've got two routes of Fates to finish, then I have Fate Extra and Gungnir to finish. I gave up on Knights in the Nightmare because fuuuuuck that combat system. Yeaaaaaah, I wish I could do that. Unfortunately, a couple of mental things tend to make me go "...I'm gonna play something different for a while" every couple weeks or so. Naturally, by the time I cycle back to what I was originally playing... I forget where I was and have learned at least a half-dozen things I could have done better so I restart. XD And man, the struggle was real for starter choices this gen. But, in the end, it had to be Litten. > u < Rowlet is my second favorite, and while I'm not big on Poplio's initial form, its later forms grew on me. I generally just d**k around town early in the game and get a chunk of change to sit on until I can go mow down some enemies. XD RF4 certainly sped the process up a lot since you can't just get request after request after request in the first day, lol. ...And I keep getting lucky with Wooly drops early on. Sheers are a good money-maker from day one, both from trimming Woolies in the wild and from them being a rare drop and going for 520 a pop. I've been looking up guides for the soil thing and it's still confusing, but I've gotten it enough that I know I really need apple tree seeds, lol. Yikes, sounds like you've got your work cut out for you. At least having a Gamecube for so long means most of the games on there I don't have to worry about anymore, so it's mostly my PS2, DS, and 3DS games I have to buckle down on. Unfortunately, I have a small pile of each... XD I can understand that. I mean on more than a few occasions I've started a game, gotten sidetracked by something new as is the current case, and come back to the game at a later date. Generally though when I'm really digging into my backlog distractions aren't two big of a problem. If I'm not busy at all I can burn through a game in roughly the course of a week, especially if I skip certain sidequests. I call them quests but really I'm talking things like "collection missions" with no actual narrative or real purpose. Some of the Assassin's Creed games had a lot of those. When I'm busy depending on the game I can burn through it in 2 weeks unless something else comes up. There is a reason I was able to take such a big junk out of my backlog before the recent moooove. Honestly I didn't look at guides at all and just sorta bumbled through it and married a puppet....ok actually I didn't marry a puppet because her bloody proposal event won't pop for some reason and I already beat the main narrative but there's apparently something else later but you need a family for it and I got bored and wandered off to other games. I have a small stack for the DS, 2 for the Vita, a much LARGER stack for PS3, one or two for PS4, two games I never finished for the PS2, and I need to finish Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword on my Wii. I was working on my PS3 stack before the move.

Ok so just because I CAN, and for those of you that have been here before it will explain some things coming up in the latest iteration of Akumu (free of the things that caused the last one to fail.).
Now you see where the last Akumu was going is like this. Team Rocket, otherwise known simply as "The Organization", had been driven underground after events in Akumu's past. The ones currently in control, and hailed as heroes by the general populace, were Team Plasma! Otherwise referred to as Plasma Corp. Team Plasma had visible fought to "protect" people from other organizations, foremost among them being Team Rocket, and more importantly fought and "contained" those contaminated by a "certain virus". Now this was all going to b visible pretty quickly.
Whats more important is what lay beneath the surface. There was going to be various hints to this during any given encounter with them or during certain events, but Team Plasma isn't ACTUALLY Team Plasma, it was Team Galactic in disguise. Unsurprisingly even under new leadership hundreds of years later they're still out to reshape the world in their GLORIOUS IMAGE.
How were they planning to do this you may ask? How does any evil team plan to do anything? With the power of Legendaries of course! So the thing is Team Galactic had gotten there hands on Hoopa, and were trying to use it's abilities to break into the Reverse World, Giratina's Realm, where they'd take over and make it in their own image (AND probably result in the destruction of our world as we know it, but that's not really their problem.). Anyway some way or another they'd managed to separate Hoopa into two halves (like they did in the movie) into its Bound and Unbound formes. The later of which they infected with "a certain virus" thinking it would give it a stronger connection to the Reverse World in order to open a portal. I'm not sure HOW they managed to contain it but they did, and there was a lot of experiments going on with "a certain virus".
Obviously the storyline was going to involve a lot of us interfering with them, and them causing trouble for us, till things came to a head. Obviously a whole lot of destruction was in store.
Now see as I recall it things went....south.....very very south. End of the world as we know it south.
The only choice ultimately became to erase these events from happening! Thats right folks, TIME TRAVEL. We've essentially turned back the clock and returned to the days of YORE, somewhere between the events of Akumu's 1st (Charmander, Mudkip, Treecko) iteration and Akumu's 2nd (Strike, Tactics, Guard) iteration. Thus the organization once again rules the world with an IRON FIST, but not all is well. After all you don't just change the timeline without consequences. Erasing one threat simply provides the opportunity for another to rise. There is a dark star on the horizon my friends, and the past may lead to a dire future!

In all seriousness, cool beans. I'm curious what that "certain virus" might be, and while gut instinct is to think it might be the pokerus (since that and what some dex entries claim Deoxys was are the only two major viruses I'm aware of), that doesn't mean certain other things couldn't be made into viruses. Character-wise, I suppose this means the characters would know quite well (sort of) what they're getting into when they show up at Akumu's gates. Basically, that these are not nice people and that if they wanted friendship and rainbows, their parents sent them to the wrong school. XD Hopefully any paradoxes that occur are minor ones rather than "humans enslaved by pokemon" ones, lol

Also no this is not going to be Planet of the Aipoms. But yes they'll have a very clear indication that these are evil ruthless dictators they're being trained to work for.

Lol, at least I don't have to worry about displeasing any ledian overlords. Meeting my character's great-grandchild, though, is still within the realm of possibility. And I'd assume the status of the world would mean heavy Rocket influence in most places, especially those with a history of being under the organization's control?

Something like that, though you seem to be misunderstanding. You'd be more likely to meet their great-great-grandparents. Let me try to explain the timeline See this was how it went up till before. Season 1 -> Season 2 -> Season 3 (This is where we WERE) Now this is where things are now however: Season 1 -> Season 4 (we are here) -> Season 2 -> Season 3 We have altered the timeline!

I get it now. I think. Time travel tends to leave me mixed up on these things, lol. So people after season 3 got shunted back to where season 4 is now. Gotcha. I had been thinking it was season 1.5 (aka season 4) had its same people but they did different things, causing the timeline to branch in a different direction. Clearly, that was incorrect, lol

No no, that's not technically incorrect. Its just 2am so I am poor at remembering how to explain things. SO. MORE ACCURATELY. Season 1 -> Season 2 -> Season 3 ___ ____->Season 4

It probably also doesn't help that I was referring to the character that's a local for the year the rp takes place in as the viewpoint character for the hypothetical meeting rather than the person that got sent back in time. But I think we finally got it all straightened out. 3nodding

Its more accurate to think that they came back sometime during the events or century in which "season 1" took place, and this is a couple or more generations after the fact. Long enough for the actions used to alter the time-line to take visible effect. Plus of course no one actually in this altered timeline is visibly aware that it IS an altered timeline. At least nobody "normal". Obviously for plot and time-space reasons there may be those aware of the fact but its certainly not common knowledge and the people who are even vaguely aware could probably be counted on one hand for plot reasons. Cause there's always the possibility of plot reasons.

This is what call a Paradox. How is this Paradox solved without reverting to the original timeline you may ask? I dunno. Blame Dialga or Arceus or something.

...I feel a great need to study for some of these type exams, lol. Some of these types, I feel I know oh so little about... Especially considering the first time I took a type exam in here. XD
Edit: Also, I just realized I aught to have a question: If we manage to knock a wild pokemon out without killing it (kinda a thin margin, there, but it's possible), can we still catch the pokemon in a ball?
