If you've already started, it's not entirely too late to suggest you stop and go play FSN first. You'll have already spoiled yourself on two of the biggest revelations from the game's final path, but the biggest surprises of the franchise should still be left intact.

ahhaha...yes, I am actually one of your alts...

Krabby/Kingler is my all time favorite Pokemon of all time...I actually had one down as my starter than edited it to Meditite, who is another one of my favorites, as I figured Krabby was much more common, and felt I had an easier chance of coming across one either in the egg house or a zone. In hindsight, I'm glad I did, because (unless I missed something) in 4 yrs and 2 months of belonging to FB, I have never seen anyone hatch or encounter a Meditite...

Thanks for the advice Talon. Now I will have to go and find the game. Ugh, work.

But I'm 17 and a half! *shot*

Also, I am happy to announce that my starter has just evolved from a Geodude to a Graveler!

If you were or are in the path of Blizzard Charlotte, how much snow did you get?

Two and a half feet here.

What is today's FB to-do list?

Study. Possibly reply to the Raikou Race. Sorry I'm making everyone wait.

He can play Realta Nua if he likes. It's the family-friendly PS2 port. In fact, for its voices (which the original lacks), many people co-package Realta Nua with FSN Original.

In any event, the sex scenes are so hysterically terrible that anyone can skip right through them and miss nothing of importance. I painfully sat through each one (though clicking faster than I ever did otherwise! ) just to see for myself if any character building lines would be said or plot points would be revealed or ... and nope, there weren't any. Just terribad, terriawkward writing.

Also, by text volume, I'd say the sex scenes are like 1% or less of that game. Seriously, there aren't that many and their inclusion feels very forced and out of place.

Anyway, if he's old enough to handle Fate/Zero, he's old enough to handle FSN. So either he has no business touching either or else he's good to go with FSN before moving on to the superior prequel.

Talon. Did we really need to know that? Think of the children!

Speeding through it to get it over with as quickly as possible so that I can return to the game proper: what is the problem?

*headdesk* Gratuitous details about your eroge-techniques.

Also, I have learned that Igglybuffs can learn TMs/EMs/MTs. I thought babies couldn't do TMs, but I guess I was wrong and I can indeed evolve Aisling in a battle. :3

: Iggly! >3

The only baby Pokemon that doesn't learn TMs is Wynaut, and even then, that's pretty much because the entire evolution line doesn't learn TMs. When I eventually get an Igglybuff, I intend to teach her Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater, and Nightmare as soon as I possibly can.

Sakura and Gilles de Rais are probably the two things in Fate/Zero that would scar any child.

But why am I not scarred then? *shrugs*

I'll try and get it Talon.

1: I might have gotten some after effects of it here in Ohio... Not much though. An inch at best. *shrug*

2: Reply to FFA, figure out what happens next in the Park with NevillexMyrtle, and maybe reply to the Grove when ES posts.

Blizzard Charlotte? I didn't know it had a name. It's still snowing here and has been all day. You can hardly tell we shoveled the driveway this morning. Whoever said 'If you do things right the first time and you don't have to do them again' never had to shovel driveways in a Canadian winter. To bad it was on a weekend, it would have been a snow day for sure.

This is why you dump salt after shovelling. The stuff melts the snow and wet ground means snow doesn't lie as easily.

Heh, Death buy Lemonade actually reminds me a bit of one of my favorite short animations, Death Kitty and the Fat Man. Both are adorable (in a morbid way, of course).
