Just watched it last night!

Also, an adventure in Space and Time was on straight afterwards.

New minisode up. Not as shocking as the last one, but still some pretty creepy stuff.

Pretty sure Pixilate and related abilities don't affect HP, since the move is essentially already another type.

Speaking of Hidden Power, it must be possible for Pokemon to get Hidden Power Fairy now, right? I wonder if that means some Pokemon's Hidden Power types will change when they go through Pokemon Bank...

If I saw a shiny Abra or Graveller, I would Masterball it in a heartbeat. Not taking any chances there.

Assuming that the twelve regenerations is a biological limit, he really shouldn't have enough energy to regenerate into Peter Capaldi given that Ten accidentally used up one regeneration in creating TenTwo. So I think "help from River" is definitely the way they'll go.

That was a great minisode, though. Now I really want to see more of McGann as The Doctor. Also the meta: "I'm a Doctor! But probably not the one you were expecting". No, no we weren't.

Squishy- I'm up to my ears in Buizels with 3-4 max IVs at the moment. Would you like a male one to get Aqua jet onto Azumarill? Edit: Bah, ninja'd.

Sisen- I might be able to help you out with those remaining berries. I've also got Impostor Ditto now, so if you give me time I might be able to breed you a SS Poliwag...

Anyone seen the trailer for Prof. Brian Cox's documentary for the 50th? Really hope they show it in Australia. Seriously, Brian Cox and The Doctor, together... has somebody been peeking at my Christmas list?

Shiny Goomy is kinda a turquoise colour, if I recall.

Sisen- since you're also breeding Eevees and have a Smeargle with Wish, I was thinking- If you could get Yawn onto that Smeargle as well, then trade me one of its offspring, I could give you a female Anticipation Eevee for it. (No problem if it's going to be too fiddly, just thought it might make things easier for both of us.)

Just reposting, can anyone check what my 3rd safari Pokemon is?

Hmmm... I don't think I've been online at the same time as you recently, but if you show up on my PSS I'll go back to the Safari and let you know.

Also guys, I'm training up a Timid Protean Greninja designed to abuse Mat Block in Triples. So far, it's definitely going to have a Water type move and a Normal move, but I'm not sure what the third attack should be. Its Hidden Power is Steel, which has some potential defensively, but it's not a very powerful attack. Suggestions?

Edit: dot, you have Eevee in your Safari.

 

I'm training up an Aurorus at the moment, but the one thing that bugs me is... how does she not learn Power Gem? We've got a special attacking rock type Pokemon whose design is literally covered in gems and just... what? No Earth Power either, by the looks of things. Ah well.

 

 

I've also trained up a Heliolisk for use in Doubles, but I've been a bit disappointed so far with how frail it is. I was trying to abuse Dry Skin in tandem with a Water Absorb Lapras and spam Surf, but it gets OHKO'd so often it barely gets to take advantage of the healing...

What seems to be the problem? Is it getting outsped? Is it not OHKOing opponents? Or is everyone just ganging up on Heliolisk?

 

I think it's partly coverage- Heliolisk functions okay in standard Maison doubles, but in the Super line we're running up against a lot of things that Heli and Lapras don't have a super-effective attack against. Heli's Surf is also fairly weak because of lack of STAB. Speaking of STAB, there's a real shortage of decent Normal-type Special attacks. Might consider adapting it to triples alongside Lapras and a Politoed and running Thunder on it instead of Thunderbolt.

So, we've lost about a month's worth of stuff? That's a pity...

Well, I bought that Ability capsule, only to find it's a single-use Medicine item, not a multi-use key item like I'd imagined. So that was a bit disappointing, but it's there if I need it.

Also, I've found that Power items + Horde battles make Super Training look pitifully slow. I gave my untrained Larvitar a Power Bracer and set it up with a large training bag, then went and summoned a bunch of Hordes with Sweet Scent. Its Attack was maxed before it had even finished the bag. (Yeah, I know, you're not supposed to just leave it sitting there, but I've still found that Sweet Scent--> Rock Slide x 12 is more efficient than repeatedly tapping the screen).

Powerpoint will be very tricky, but if the story ends the same way each time, I suppose your responses don't actually need to have a direct effect on the progression of the story. Then again, the lack of choice may annoy some players who were expecting a game rather than a digital novel/picture book. That said, I really love the concept of something like this, and i hope you find the resources and people you need to do the concept justice.

I would recommend checking out a program called Game Maker and browsing through some of the downloadable tutorials. Often you can just copy and paste the scripts into your own game, and just change the sprites and dialogue to suit your own needs. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

I'm just trying to picture how Fluttershy's arc would end... obviously the mutual shyness would be the main barrier to the conversation, but does she run away? Politely say "no" and then burst into tears? Try to talk to him the way she would to one of her pets?

4am my time... well, I suppose I was gonna be up by 4:30 anyway, so I'll give it a shot...

There's a lot of talk about a female Doctor at the moment. I'd like to see Dawn French take the role. That would be excellent.

I would strongly suggest viewing this episode first and confirming the rumour for yourself, Trelo. It's not one I've heard before, and I have to say I strongly doubt its validity.

So the Doctor's name is Badabudumbadumdumbadum Dumbadum Doo-weee-ooooo-woooo-oooooooooo.

I'm just trying to imagine River whispering that gently into The Doctor's ear with a straight face...

Okaaaay... so apparently the 50th will be broadcast everywhere in the world at exactly the same time. Exactly the same time.

I mean, it's a nice thought and all, but that's going to be, like, 3am in my timezone...

Totally agree on the mask rip thing, although I was thinking he should worm his way into the outskirts of a group of fans then do it. I was so hoping he would do that and then just cackle and run away.

As for the 50th... I don't understand all the fuss, really. If it was spoilerish enough to be worth protecting, then I don't want to see it. If it's not particularly spoilerish, then it doesn't really matter who sees it, does it? Don't know whether it was Moff's decision, or the BBC's, or whatever, and I can understand the sentiment behind it, but at the same time, I think a lot of people ( fans and BBC employees alike) are making a huge deal out of what should have just been a nice little sneak preview for those who were able to be there.

Well, to be fair, he was faking a not-too-shabby American accent at the same time.

Anyone else watched the Comic Con vids? There's a hilarious one of Matt going undercover in a creepy Simpsons mask and getting rejected by every fan he tries to talk to. Poor guy.

If you fill up your Pokedex in Black 2, you can get the Shiny Charm, which increases your chance of finding wild shinies, and also stacks with The Masuda Method.

I think they're alluding to the fact that it has the ability No Guard.

They wouldn't give Honedge Guillotine...

Doesn't work on wood!

Dovahkiin- I was thinking more about how much of the Titanic had crashed through to the inside. I mean, given the height of the TARDIS exterior, if you were to look at the whole thing from the outside it just wouldn't work. You couldn't see most of the front of a gigantic ship disappearing into a police box.

But yeah, it's also improbable that the TARDIS wouldn't have just been forcefully knocked aside.
