OH LAWL. How'd it faint then?
By Magical Leaf.

The damage shown at the first screenshot of the Gastly was the damage dealt by Grass Knot.

You'd know it if you played, or were even interested in, Dwarf Fortress, you uneducated clot!

Yes, not playing DF at any point makes you an uneducated clot. I said it!

Miasma is referenced in many video games, such as the Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles series.

You know, having messages in green was actually kind of fun, but oh no, that's apparently an offense to Zachy.

Screw you guys, [i]I'm going home[/i].

Miasma is one of my all time favourite words.

I take all credit for the name Miasma, by the way.
Bow down to your DF-playing overlords.

Ah yes, the white picket fence! Now that I have cut, I can actually get around that thing!

Still don't know why I can't just climb over though. Must be something to do with the fact that my arms and legs are so very tiny compared to my head.

Image
You mean that Dodongo Dislikes Smoke?

Image
You mean such things as "they're not worth catching" and "what kinda god thought floating spheres were scary?"

Image
Shadows? You're a gym leader, afraid of shadows?! Dear GODS!

Image
Look, I know they're called ghosts, but they seriously aren't anything more than floating balls that smell bad! I'm sure even your Budew could beat them!

Image
Mutter mumble... I should've cut down a tree right in front of her, just to piss her off!

Image
Well... fuck, I have no Pokemon that can do such a thing. How peachy!

I know, lets evolve one of my two cocoon Pokemon! And then maybe they'll actually be useful in battle too!

Image
The more people talk about fishing, the more I start thinking fishing is just a euphemism for sex.

Image
Nothing suggestive about this match, nopers!

Image
Ladies and gentlemen: the battle of the century! Perhaps if I can out-harden his Splash...

Image
Oh yeah, I actually went through quite a lot of battles (read: 8 Magikarp) to evolve him. But they certainly weren't worth reporting (Magikarp can leap entire mountains. Yet they still suck profusely)

Fun fact: according to one of the Pokedex entries, Magikarp sucks so much that scientists actually did research as to why it sucks to bad!

Image
That was an unintentional side-effect. Awesome, nonetheless.

Image
OH GODS MY WANG EXPLODED!

Image
So far, every Pokemon minus Wukong that've evolved have caused their nickname to become entirely redundant. Damnit.

Image
Well.... bollocks, that was a hefty waste of time!




Image
Oh yeah, I forgot I had more than 6 Pokemon. Finally, the squirrel is put to use!

Image
ITS A HOUSE! IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE! JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER HOUSE I'VE SEEN!

Seriously, why do people like living so far away from towns? Its not like there's no room or anything.

Image
Ether? Out here? Geez, no wonder Ike had so much trouble fighting in my other RPG!

Image
Finally! Now I can eat off of something!

If only I could eat...

Image
Right... so I'm supposedly holding, right now, a plate created at the dawn of the universe.

"In the beginning, there was social manners..."

Image
According to the RPGdictionary:
-Chateau - noun - an old, worn out building set nowhere near a city. Has a high chance of containing either a plot coupon or a rare bonus item.
-Old - adjective - haunted.

Image
Man, this tablecloth is a mess! Whoever the owner of this place is must be a real sloth!
And most likely dead, too. But that's no excuse for a messy dining room!


They could've done with more Insect Plates.

Image
Well geez, they've got a large kitchen and a palace-sized dining room, but the only actual food they have here is one piece of candy! What a cop-out!

Image
Its a g-g-ghost! And n-n-now my voice recorder is s-s-skipping!

Image
Man, isn't it nice to have your opponent half-kill themselves on their first move? Why couldn't Bidoofs be that cool?

Image
Damnit, I'm at a crossroad in my mind. Do I eat the Gateau? I mean, on one side I'm absolutely guaranteed to die of food poisoning if I do; but on the other hand, it's cake. A cake that I got in a side-room. Those are always delicious. And I do have a plate now.


Oh wait, I'm still not able to eat anyway. Heck, this ginormous head doesn't even have a mouth! No wonder I had so much trouble talking.

Image
The move is cool on my side, as it saves time; but the image of a Gastly sticking a nail straight through its own head is... disturbing.

Image
Aaaand now Wukong's nearly dead. That is so not awesome.

Image
An old notebook with something written in it? That can only mean one thing: cryptic foreshadowing to an event describing the past!

Image
I CALLED IT!




Also, I have no idea what the hell that means. Anyone wanna take a guess?

Image
Oh yay, more rooms! Five, to be precise!

Image
Oh hey, apparently this Gastly must be a teenager!


[/generalizations]

Image
I collect plates now, y'know!

Image
Oh god what, the giants have been defeated?

OH GODS WHAT WILL HOLD UP THE MOON NOW?!

Image
Its... a room. An empty room. With absolutely nothing in it.

What kind of RPG is this anyway?




Although I feel like I'm being watched for some reason...

Image
He gets more powerful with the passing of each day. And dozens of Pokemon slaughtered in them.

Image
That item was just a substitute for an actually useful TM. At least that's my theory as to why such a cool place has such a crappy move.

Image
But... but it's day. Wut?

Ah well, Wukong's gone done himself in again. I should've listened to Gardengirl when she said to watch out for sinister shadows!

Image
In case of house becoming haunted, use puppies.

Image
MORE EVOLUTION SCREENS! I'm rather tired of them at this point...

Image
And, once again, the Pokemon's name becomes entirely meaningless. Such is the cost of evolving Pokemon I'll never use again....

Image
Look, just because he's a stage three Pokemon doesn't mean she's any more useful than a level 5 Magikarp. Stupid bug Pokemon!

Image
Fantastical. Now I'm not even able to switch out for a better Pokemon.

GO, MOTHULA! HARDEN THAT BASTARD TO A SECOND DEATH!




Or, die horribly.

Have I ever pointed out my distaste for bug Pokemon?


Image
This television...

Its as if its a vengeful spirit...

Ever moment watching it is like a thousand years of torture...

Just a minute glance would wreck your brain for eons on end...





Which is to say, "Meet The Spartans" is on.

Obviously it says "Something peculiar should make off with the mother."

Now the question is, who's mother?

Hey, just a thought: but if I am right about being 1/5th or so of the way through the game (in terms of updates), then I expect to finish sometime... in the middle of October. But since I doubt that (I do intend to catch all legendaries too, btw), I'm guessing it'll end about Halloween.

Wait until night and capture the Rotom.

Then you are one step closer to the fucking National Dex so you aren't battling every last trainer trying to get into the survival and rest zones.

Check the TV at night. (10:00 pm - 4:00 am)
There's only one at night, and it's lvl 15. It's best if you save before fighting it.

Unlike everyone else, I don't make edits funny but I make them awesome as best as I can.
