more Bravely Second even though I think burruni is the only other person who cares about the series lol.
Kaiser was a complete pushover. Kept attacking soul mirror and hitting himself (and also triggering transience [ninja's dodge counter] so he taked
s more damage!)

Also beat diamante which has to be the farthest from what I expected for THE ba'al. I expected a demon lord or eldritch monstrosity, not some weird mexican skeleton lady riding butt stallion.

My setup continues to be crazy good though so that's nice.

Now im back in the very first city of the first game and they are ****ing with my head i just know it. Now im off to do the Templar's challenge


Im naming my Type: Null goliath.


Why? It's a secret :troll:

This thing is so ****ing interesting and this explanation is perfect. I'm calling mine Nina
So, the Pokedex can recognize something like Arceus, Mew, Mewtwo or Genesect, but can't recognize Type: Null... OK.
The names are different only because Type and Null are just normal words that can be translated.

And why is the Rotom that speaks spanish a steretypical mexican, but the Rotom that speaks english is a normal one instead of being blonde and fat?

The original Rotom would be the japanese one, not one from U.S.A.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
Well, would you?
No. Because I don't have an Xbone or ps4 and I doubt I can get a good pc before it releases
Well, I was going to say "yes" until I realized...yeah, I don't own XBOX or PS4

and Computer version would most likely be digital, thus have no physical rewards

Type Null is a mishmash of multiple pokemon.

Because not all English speakers are American?

Perhaps the creator or Mewtwo, Mr Fuji, logged his results on Mewtwo into the international pokedex library

Alright, two things, first:
FB_IMG_1473254965183.jpg

Does anyone know what is written below normal Raticate? I saw someone saying it says both forms will be avaible ingame but I'd like a confirmation
And second, more customization options were shown in the trailer
FB_IMG_1473358818582.jpg

I'm loving these hair options so far and I just know I'm gonna run out of money because I'll spend it all on clothes and haircuts when I should be buying healing items so my Pokemon won't die

Huh, Code Zero actually sounds like a better name for it, but that's a moot point.

I think Null's just gonna be a one off weird Pokemon.

So, how about that new AoT chapter?

:ohwell:

Crazy, huh?
Yeah, about that...

They finally reach the basement!

And it's one hell of a plot twist. Humanity extinct? Fighting for the survival of the human species? The world outside only comprising of man-eating titans?

Turns out that everything they grew up to believe were a bunch of lies.

With this major plot point resolved and a massive revelation, the story is one step closer to resolving the mysteries of the world. Who is pulling the strings behind everything? For what purpose were the walls made? Why are some people stuck in there, believing in lies about the world they live? What is the purpose behind the titan invasion, forcing people like the Survey Corps to face impossible odds? Who are the people living with a higher standard of living outside of the world? Who are the "Warriors" that Reiner has mentioned before?

So many questions!

And now that one of the biggest goals for the Survey Corps has been achieved, what happens next is hard to speculate given how significant this reveal is to the entire story. Either way, it's best to look forward to next month.

And Mew has the DNA of all Pokemon, Mewtwo is a manipulated clone of that Pokemon and Arceus is freaking god.

And... not all Spanish speakers are Mexican.
Mew's a known pokemon that was close enough to captured to get DNA from it.
Seems like that's enough grounds for some basis to be set in for the pokedex's listing of, "Hey if it's a floating pink cat pokemon with massive blue eyes it's Mew." Helps that some kid with a camera got a personal photo of it.
Mewtwo because Fuji, arguably, giving a similar depiction of it for information to be given. The weakest of the three to prove.
Arceus? It being a god means that there is PLENTY of stuff that covers the way it looks and attributes that the Pokedex could be registered under.

I like how Pokemon Origins explained how Mewtwo came before Mew, simply that Mew was more elusive while Mewtwo was stumbled across by research teams (read: 10 year olds) first.

Type: Null is REALLY sounding like Missingno. now. Is the Pokémon team actually going to acknowledge Missingno.'s existence finally?

Yeah, but they found Mew DNA to make Mewtwo

So they obviously knew about Mew first and had its DNA

If they can extract DNA from an Anorith Fossil, which is from the Cambrian period...Surely they would have been able to get enough DNA to make a more accurate clone of Mew

I think the difference is the same as the difference in inventing something and patenting it. Mew was "discovered" but wasn't disclosed to the scientific community at large... that seems to begin and end with Oak in Gen 1.

I get how you feel
The game corners are usually just a big waste of time, they cheat you so it's only fair for you to cheat back

But at least they're ten times better than the travesty that is known as Voltorb Flip
I bet that whoever designed that thing is the same person that gave Rayquaza a Mega that doesn't require a mega stone
It's not that Voltorb Flip is bad. It's actually a decent mini-game(you can't lose coins after all), and arguably better than random gambling. It's that you can't get coins any other way for those TM's. Which are one usage only. The grinding is far worse, that's all(you barely get any coins extra at a time, and when it's 1,000 for a TM...).

I mean, you should have the option to do both. To grind for it or just exchange money for coins. If you don't prefer the mini-game, fair enough. Or even want to try the mini-game here and there. Grinding for cash is easy thanks to either getting a Pay Day using Pokemon or a redoing many trainer battles(besides Elite 4).

So, how about that new AoT chapter?

:ohwell:

Crazy, huh?
Gotta feel for Armin at the beginning. Poor kid was about to throw up as he let the fact sink in that he ate Bertolt. We even see him become rather anxious for a few seconds when he's told that he will be Erwin's replacement when it comes to strategy. He even experiences hallucinations about the Colossal Titan before he wakes up, and perhaps this is how he begins to receive Bertolt's memories?

I read a Tumblr post that the Colossal Titan that appeared in the hallucination was actually how Armin would look like as a titan shifter because of the similar facial features to Armin's initial titan form. Both don't have a nose, and the pattern around the eyes have a similar shape. Bertolt's Colossal Titan had a nose, but the pattern around the eyes is harder to tell. It'll be interesting to see if the Colossal Titan was Armin's Titan Shifter form or was still Bertolt, though I wouldn't be surprised it was the latter.

And of course, the basement. My reaction when the reveal happened:



The basement mystery was among the things that drew me into the series, so I'm really happy that we've finally reached this moment, and I really like how half of the chapter was devoted to it. I originally thought the cliffhanger would kick in the moment the group entered it, but it wasn't the case.

It's funny how the key Grisha gave to Eren turned out not to be for the basement door after all this time. Isayama you troll! Looking back at it though, the basement door being made of wood makes it easy to break through, and Levi kicking it down proves that point, I'll get more into that later.

And the inside of the basement looked like a small research lab.



Not too surprised it would look scientific considering Grisha's background. I thought the jars on the shelves located on the left of the picture would be additional Titan Serums, but it turns out it was just medicine.

And it turns out the key was actually the key to one of the desk drawers. Again, Grisha is pretty clever. Giving Eren a key to the that specific spot rather than the door ensures he will find the exact thing he was looking for. Grisha even made an extra protocol keeping the books preserved and covering them with a wooden board on top of them to keep them hidden.

With the reveal of the photograph, it confirms the theory that there is a highly advanced civilization outside the walls. I think there's another interesting detail about it though.

Let's take a look at it.



Notice the man in the picture shares Grisha's hair. Also take note that the child in the picture has blond hair, and so does his mother.

Remember two chapters ago when we saw Zeke and Grisha side by side? It was meant to show that the two look very similar to each other, similar to the point that they could be related. Even though they have a different hair color, it could be possible one of their parents (assuming they are brothers) had blonde hair while the other had brown hair.

My theory is that the picture we are looking at is a picture of Grisha's family from that society beyond the walls. The child in the picture is probably Zeke. As for the man? I'd say it's either Grisha and Zeke's father or Grisha himself. I'm leaning more towards the former at the moment because Zeke looks like he's roughly the same age as Grisha, though the latter is a good possibility because it makes you wonder that if this is a family picture, where is Grisha? This speculation also applies to the woman, who is either Grisha and Zeke's mom or Grisha's wife when he lived in that society.

It also looks like this advanced civilization is set around the late 1800s-early 1900s because of the clothing and the presence of the early lightbulbs in the basement, but perhaps they could be even more advanced than that.

I think the next chapter will wrap up the Battle for Shinganshina arc now that the Survey Corps have returned home. I predict the information within the basement will be expanded further, mainly because there were three books in that specific drawer and they probably go into detail about this advanced society beyond the walls. It makes me wonder which details from the books will further unlock Eren's Coordinate powers.

This next arc is going to be really exciting as we begin to unravel this major mystery even further. Can't wait!

I'm having a dilemma right now in my SS Nuzlocke
Basically my team is
Aipom, Beedrill, Poliwag, Nidorino, Gyarados and Vulpix
But I'm gonna get an Eevee(planning to evolve to Jolteon) soon so I'm wondering who should I box
My Poliwag and my Beedrill aren't going anywhere and I don't want to box Nidorino or Aipom as I have never used them /properly/
So should I box Vulpix or is a Fire type that necessary that I have to box The King of Water and Winds in favor of it?

Well as bad as it is, you gotta give them some credit.

They didn't name every girl in their extended family Joy. Or Jenny.

It's a good reveal, as it still leaves where the titans came from a mystery.

Although this may all be one sick experiment. But the whole game's changed now, as the nature and cause of the Warriors is called into question now.

Great analysis!

I always thought that the Titans were a science experiment gone wrong... but it looks like this entire thing is an experiment gone right.

But that basement tease was hilarious. I thought that Grisha had fooled everyone.

Why then was Grisha in the walls in the first place...? To stop the death and madness? Are the Warriors inside a fourth wall, isolated from humanity? What does Ymir's letter say?

So many questions, so little time.

EDIT: I just read a great point. This isn't Titans vs. Humans anymore... it's Man vs. Man. This changes the dynamic of the entire story. It's a whole new world from here on out.

Hmm... you have Nidorino and Beedrill to counter Grass types, and if you evolve Poliwag into Poliwrath, you'll have a Fighting type to counter Ice types. Bug might be a problem, though...

I say box Vulpix.

Well, the key was important in opening a desk drawer containing a lot of stuff Grisha documented about the world outside the walls that prove that humanity was not extinct and there's a more advanced society outside of the walls.

It really a whole new world of questions and mysteries from now on.
