Alright, and for the next post:  Yami, are you ready to go or should I just go again? 
(I don't want that to come out like I'm complaining or anything, I'm just trying to give you a chance is all because I don't want you to get left behind.   )

Well you guys are still on the boat so you can make another post. My character is closer to the city than yours.

Hey, Yami. Is that Pokemon in that picture Reshiram?

Yes! He's with N.

I'm assuming N is some big enemy in the games, like Cyrus was in Sinnoh, but I honestly don't know who that is. I've only ever played Black/White/Black2/White2 on a friend's 3DS, so I really don't know who he/she is. I know who Team Plasma is, though, because of the show, so I'm assuming he/she has something to do with them.

N does play apart with Team Plasma. However there is more to him. You need to finish the games to find out.

I actually haven't even been able to start, because I have a DSi and a DS, but not a 3DS, and I don't see the point in getting a 2DS when I want the 3-D.

You can play Black and White and Black 2 and White 2 on the DS. They're DS games. Pokemon X and Y are only for the 3DS.

Well, still. I am planning on getting a 3DS, since I lost my DSi and my DS can no longer play DS games, only Game Boy Advance games. I'm just going to get a 3DS and a Game Boy Advance SP, so I can play pretty much any Nintendo handheld game. I'm just going to trash my DS once I do get those two, since it is pretty much trashed already. The hinge one one side of the upper screen is permanently broken, the top screen doesn't even work anymore, and I can barely even play Game Boy games on it without it freaking out on me. That's what comes when you've had it for a good 5 or 6 years: The stupid thing just falls apart on you.

I would say that's a good reason for upgrading to a 3DS, and I completely agree about the 2DS. A slightly lower prince is about all it's got going for it. Other than that, it's butt-ugly and doesn't even close.... Truth is, though, they designed it for younger kids: no chance of the system breaking in half if dropped while open and no 3D for sensitive eyes.

But back on topic: I fell like the Captain ought to be someone from Team Snagem, but without implicating them just yet.... or would that still be too soon? I'm just no sure who, either. The only one I'm ruling out is Mirror B. because I have an idea for him for later... any thoughts or ideas?

And while we're at it: Are we using both the Colosseum and XD Cipher Admins, or just one or the others?

If you're asking me, I really don't know all that much about Team Snagem or Cipher. You'd be better off asking Yami. However, if you've played the Pokemon Ranger games, I believe we can do something similar to Kincaid, who first posed as a school teacher some of the main character's friends, and later turned out to be the vice president of Team Dim Sun, Pokemon Ranger's version of Team Rocket or Team Snagem, and later, leader of Team Debonairs, the re-formed version of Team Dim Sun.

Doesn't matter to me. The only admin that stands out to me is Minor B. The others I really don't remember them until I'm playing the game. I never beat Colosseum.

I never beat Colosseum, either! XD I got stopped by... the guy who SHOULD be the final boss but I think, according to my friend, there is still someone after him...

As for XD, I never played it so I know NOTHING about the new admins there. However, after a bit of research, I think we can go with Ardos since it appears like he deceives the player in a similar way: Saving their sister but only so that the Shadow Pokemon plan won't be reveled (prematurely, in this case) so it looks like w're incorporating the XD Admins, too.

I will make s post after work today.

Alright, I'll hold off then ^^

You guys can keep going. ^^ Touko is doing her own thing for a bit.

Just for the record, it's your turn, Sailor.

I know it is, but I just wanted to give Yami a chance so she doesn't get completely left out.

I'll make a post a bit later today, but for now I'm about to have a Skype run-through of a panel I'm goin to be on at an upcoming Anime Convention

Alright, sorry to kind skip past the battle here, but like I said, I do kinda want to hold off until the actual Tournament and this was meant to just be a friendly match anyway.

Funny thing though: I looked at the base stats and these two are actually fairly well-matched. Poliwrath has good HP and raw Defense stats, but Gallade wins in Attack and Special Defence while their Speed and Special Attacks are virtually the same. 
It should also be noted that, in this case, having better Special Defense does no good since Poliwrath's attacks are mostly Physical to begin with BUT You do have a slight Type-Advantage assuming you use Psycho Cut, HOWEVER, my Defense helps compensate for this because it's Physical.

So... yeah. They're well-matched.

Which is why I chose a Gallade. It's not overpowered, and it's a good match for Pokemon like a Poliwhirl or Poliwrath.

But you had no way of knowing that I would chose the Galade as an opponent here. I could have just as easily gone with one of the fire types and given myself a type advantage, but since I wanted this to be balanced I went with Galade and it turns out my instincts were right on the money.

Anyway, was there something specific you were tying to get out of this battle? Because, like I said, I really didn't want to get hung up on this while poor Yami still isn't completely incorporated yet.

No, it was more of a "to pass the time until the ship docked" kind of thing.

Alright, then as long as you weren't looking for anything specific I'm gonna just move on with this next post.

I know it happens to use Pika in this case, but that was the best example of Yellow actively using her power I could think of off the top of my head. I'm also pretty sure we all know that "porthole" is the nautical term for "window", right?

Yeah, I know. And it served it's purpose.
