The Quest for the Legends

Would you care to explain how exacley Mewtwo^2's attack worked? Unless, of course, it will be explained next chapter.

The attack didn't work any particular out of the ordinary way. Mewtwo^2's psychic abilities are just so powerful that it can affect Dark-types. In a game setting, where there's literally a multiplier of zero going on, this would most likely be expressed with an ability akin to Scrappy but for Psychic and Dark-types, though to be accurate it would nonetheless have to affect them less than other types, like by turning them "not very effective".

What do you think of the Pokewalker then, did you walk for unusual amounts of time? I did. (Almost four miles today; going to walk again in ten or so minutes.)

Um, I don't have the game. It's not out over here yet, remember?

*cough* Not the kind of Japanese one that comes with a Pokéwalker.

Haven't played it, but it looks awesome in every way and I can't wait for the English release.

Which BW starter are you going with?

I haven't quite decided, but I'm starting to lean towards Mijumaru, since I'd prefer to get an Antagonist Tsutaaja and I don't like Enbuoo.

I am in love with Bachuru and Denchura. It is going on my team without question. I also love Sazandora, Choroneko, Aakeosu, and Ishizumai is adorable although I doubt I'll ever use it. There are lots of others that I like, if not quite as much.

I don't really like Mijumaru, honestly. :P It's just that its evolved forms get better and though I marginally prefer Jarooda to Daikenki in terms of design (though I don't really like any of the final stages), I'm really iffy on Jarooda's stat distribution, with Antagonist the main thing that could save it (what with Leaf Storm actually boosting Special Attack).

It's pretty much another Hoenn for me, in that I don't really like any of the final-form starters. Main difference is that then at least Sceptile had sweeper stats and I really, really liked Grovyle, whereas Janobii is just a "rather like" thing and their stats are inconvenient. I guess maybe Jarooda could be better in Sugimori artwork or something, but it just seemed disappointing to me.

A lot of people are picking Mijumaru after the evolutions got revealed. It's not as surprising as you'd think.

If either Mark, May or Alan had to die, who would it be?

Alan. Mark dying would be boring and May dying would just be a waste when she has all this character development to go through.

And how do I get the picture on my signature to not have a white background?

By making a picture that doesn't have a white background. Get a good paint program that can create transparent images, if you're using Paint.

Speaking of Colosseum and XD, what are your thoughts on them?

They were fun, atmospheric and had awesome music. I'd have liked them to be a little more properly story-based and I hated Poké Spots, but otherwise I liked them. Though I never got around to finishing XD; it was one of those games I went through training everything I got and I was somewhere on Citadark Isle with grossly underleveled Pokémon and kept losing to one of the Cipher guys. I'd like to see Genius Sonority make another Pokémon console RPG.

Oh, one other thing. What was your team on your first playthrough of Diamond / Pearl?

Something like Infernape, Staraptor, Luxray, Scyther, Gastrodon and Roserade. Later I added several more and started to rotate them (Butterfree, Leafeon, Charizard, Jolteon, Espeon, Lucario…).
