You say that if the game allows you is not cheating, Miss Mun, but I think it's still unfair you go into the Battle Subway with legendaries.  Yeah, yeah, I guess I should be glad you at least pay attention to Musicals too, even if it's for the card star. They aren't very popular, are they?

But what I really want to talk to you about is that little idea you had... I know I said I want to learn about "life" better and you want me to go through stuff - and that's alright, really! But I don't see how, ah, how did you put it? "Having a close ecounter with cedar", yeah, that. I don't see what that will teach me. I already know what a headache is like!

Hello there.

[futureprofessor]

Mmh? Oh, hello mister.

[loves_cacturnes]

The name is Harley, honey.

[futureprofessor]

Nice to meet you, Mister Harley! Are you a Trainer too?

[loves_cacturnes]

I am a coordinator more than anything else. [Hence the costume.]

[futureprofessor]

Oh, you do Contests! Cool! We don't have those in Unova, you know. I guess Musicals are the closest thing to them.

[loves_cacturnes]

What? No contests?! [He looked shocked.] I couldn't live without them.

Do you like my costume?

[rockets_finest]

The Battle Subway, hm? Are you sure you want to go down there?

[futureprofessor]

Whaaaa- Me? No way! I wouldn't last long in there! But my mun is, you know, to complete the game.

[rockets_finest]

Really? Do you not believe you are strong enough to face the challengers?

[futureprofessor]

I-I don't think so... I mean, I could advance a couple of battles, sure... but the more advance levels aren't for me.

[rockets_finest]

Why doubt yourself? You could be great if you wanted to be. Do not be held back by the motives of your mun.

[futureprofessor]

A-ah, no, it's not because of my mun. She's going all the way, actually! I just know I'm not that good at battling. But you know, that's alright! Because I still have my team and together we have our own kind of strength!

[calculating]

[he is... so unsure about using legendaries in the subway.]

Why not just train Pokemon properly to use in the Subway? It's not that hard.

[futureprofessor]

[Funny, Bianca was expecting full disapproval from him.]

Well, she was doing fine at first but then it got too difficult and even if she won, she was getting frustrated and annoyed... I don't think she likes Battle Facilities in general, Cheren. She hasn't battled a single Frontier Brain in any of the previous games!

[calculating]

[oh he does disapprove, but he's mostly unsure at the moment because... he didn't bother to check which legendaries were potentially allowed, since he has none. oops. And also because using them is bad sportsmanship for him.]

She needs to diversify her team more, and probably switch up movesets, too. And take into account the nature of every Pokemon, how it stacks up to their stat distribution, and how to train them to emphasize that properly.

Personally, I wish we had things like the Battle Frontier in Unova. We have the Subway, but... from what I've heard, the Frontier has different ways of battling besides just that.

[futureprofessor]

[Turns out only the big bad boys -aka mostly events- are banned. So now the twins are getting their subway invaded by the three musketeers.]

Ah, her team is pretty diversified, actually! They're all different types and nobody has more than one attack of the same type... but yeah she never cared much about natures and IVs and she keeps the HMs and all that... Maybe I should send her over to your classes, hehehe. [Because then her mun would finally understand what it meant to grow up being lectured!]

They do, they do! The buildings look really cool and they have lots of different battling options. Not that I could see much, because Miss Mun doesn't go often. I wish she did, though, I wanna see Miss Caitlin all young and cute!

[calculating]

[but sob there are so many better ones to use ;o;]

She might learn a thing or two there, I agree. IVs are more difficult to account for, but EVs aren't hard at all, and are beneficial in the long run.

It's a bit strange to think that a few years back, one of our own Elite Four couldn't really battle. Apparently from what my own player has experienced, Caitlin's facility was the easiest of the bunch.

[futureprofessor]

[True that. I usually give it a go with my bro team, but don't underestimate how quickly I rage at those stupid facilities. >>;]

I know that, you know that, she knows that... but she says she's too lazy for it. She's more like, a casual battler, you know? Kinda like me. She only beat Mister Alder for completion and to visit you at Victory Road everyday.

Well, I think it's amazing! Getting to such a high level in a couple of years - we should be honored that she chose Unova instead of staying in Sinnoh! A-ah, my mun says she's the easiest E4 too. But that's probably because of her Galvantula and Bug Buzz...

OMG HDU

[twotwoed]

My mun wants to cry heresy as well, but the Subway's never been very kind.

Of course, she also once considered a Nuzlocke-and if you don't know what that is, Bianca, it's not pretty-so I'd take anything she says with a grain of salt.

It's not different from taking the Kanto birds to the Pokéathlon! Ahaha.. haha... ha...

[futureprofessor]

Well, she'd be right, I think... but yeah, it's true that the Subway isn't kind.

I know what that is. And... well, at least they don't really do that to their Pokémon, but I really don't get what they like pretending either. It's waaay too sad. My mun hasn't tried it, and I don't think she will anytime soon.

pfft, Sunkern's where the party's at

[twotwoed]

She did back out, but I only think that was because her DS was stolen. Or lost. She's not very good at keeping track of these things, and now she wants a Genesect.

At any rate, using legendaries is at least marginally better than what most competitors do.

lol I used my team and won, but for those stupid records I needed help >>;

[futureprofessor]

Daaw, I'm sorry to hear that, Mister Will-mun! I think Genesect will be only given to the new games, though, so she'll have to wait.

If you mean cheating, then I agree. At least my mun only takes the legendaries for stuff like the car stars, and they were a genuine catch! No stuff like... infinite Rare Candies. [Disapproving Bianca sounds disapproving.]

[twotwoed]

You know, back in Madame's day, her brother would always be the one to get her infinite Master Balls...

ah, but they don't have as many glitches in your generation, do they? My game might have had a remake, but I'll still fondly recall the Game Boy Color days.

[futureprofessor]

Aaah, my mun never tried that. She was afraid that missin-thing would ruin her save. [For you and Will to recall the bright glitchy days.]

We have only one or two, yes, and the sequels have this problem with those unlimited Rare Candies - though everyone thinks they'll correct that for the foreign release. You know, your remakes are my mun's favorite games, Mister Will. She may love Unova's story and characters, but when it comes to the actual gaming, Johto is where her heart is at.
