Eleven

Easter Sunday tomorrow. Is Easter Saturday a thing? Is this some sort of significant thing? Does it have another name? Is there some sort of ritual attached to it, like are there Easter Saturday Candles in the Easter Saturday Prayer Ritual for the Easter Saturday Service in The Holy Church of the Divine Maiden in Glorious Service to His Golden Eminence?

QUESTIONS QUESTIONS ALWAYS QUESTIONS

  • When is the prescribed time to have Easter eggs? Good Friday? Easters Sunday or Monday? I don’t know, but I tell you what, being an adult means you can have them whenever you want (so long as they are in the shops, time limited thing and all).
  • On the 4th attempt, will I slay the Malboro King and Queen?

  • Apparently not, instead I will let my party’s general mitigation drop and take a crapload of damage as I pushed the Malboro Queen past not only her 75% threshold, but also her 50% one too. Yay me.
  • Demon Plant With Awful Breath just did what nobody could in Final Fantasy IX, and managed to actually defeat Beatrix! If only she locked at 1% and was like “lol no” and Stock Breaked the queen to death.
  • Honestly it was just a moment of mismanaging from me, and if I had handled buffs/debuffs properly, I wouldn’t have had that happen!
  • Also, save the middle mini malboro for last, kill off the top and bottom, then kill Queenie!

HALF OF THOSE WEREN’T QUESTIONS BUT STATEMENTS

You are absolutely correct about that

“Mini Malboro’s get more dangerous if the Queen dies before them”

Huh.

Anyway! It’s nearly Easter, and I know what I’m going to be doing!

I’m going to get me Riolu and Ditto! Ditto is useful because, as is well known to Pokemon aficionados, it is immensely horny and will breed with anything! Except, curiously, other Dittos.

Also, Ditto is an absolute cutie, despite being a mound of pink shapeshifting goo. I remember when I first encountered a Ditto back in Pokemon Red. That game didn’t have breeding (that came in gen 2), so its main niche had not yet been carved, but I remember my 12-year-old brain seeing this unassuming pink mound transform into my Charizard (my then-strongest pokemon, by virtue of it being literally all I ever used) and being absolutely AWED! I accidentally KO’d it, and could never find another!

Back before I learnt about having a rounded team with moveset coverage and balanced types and more than one strong pokemon, my Charizard’s moveset looked a little like this:

Ember
Fire Spin
Fire Blast
Flamethrower

Big dragon make fire go burn and all that. Ignorance is bliss!

    I’m pretty sure I had a Typhlosion with that exact move set. In fact, when My friends discovered the cloning glitch in Pokémon Gold/Silver I may have had a team of 6 Typhlosions with that move set!
