    Did you like EarthBound?

    You know, I played a fan-translated rom of Mother (aka Earthbound Zero) and it's actually pretty good. So, if you can't get to Mother 3 yet, so should go back and try the first one.

    That wasn't a fan-translation. It was the official translation by NOA for an NES release. The NES release never came to be, though, so it was shelved, until somebody got the prototype cart at an auction, and the ROM was dumped.

    Anyway. If my roommate (who owns our Wii) doesn't get Mother 2, I will. One of the greatest games ever. It's the only game that I recall getting addicted to, where it affected my life so much that my mom told me I couldn't play it anymore. That didn't bother me too much, because I was stuck in the future as a robot, and was underleveled. Also, I couldn't figure out how to beat Gigyas, even with the strategy guide. :( :(

    In short, Earthbound stinks.

    Besides, replaying the set that started it all with fun new graphics and features ain't too bad either.

    I got LeafGreen sometime last December. My biggest disappointment is that they didn't just open up the Johto region at the end of the main game. They could have done it in the same vein that Gold/Silver did, where there wasn't much story to speak of, but you could run through and beat all the Gyms and get a second set of Badges. That would have also made it more natural to catch all the Johto region Pokemon as well, not to mention it would have been so much more interesting than the whole Islands deal anyway.

    What are your general levels? I managed to beat the Elite Four at about Lv. 55. Of course, I did use quite a few hyper potions, revives, and such.

    As for the easiest grind...you can either go with Victory Road or maybe go with Routes 222 or 223, and use your Vs. Seeker, battling trainers generally yields more exp.

    I was in the high 40s when I posted yesterday. To level them up, I ended up fighting the Rich Kid over and over again, just east of Lake Valor, I think. Whichever one has the hotel and stuff. With the Amulet Coin, it netted me a lot of cash, and it wasn't hard to stomp his Luxio over and over.

    Once I got Rapidash up to 50 or so, I started fighting the Elite Four to level up. I died once at the Psychic dude, but the second time I made it all the way to Cynthia's team. She stomped me, but then I realized that I had finally seen all 150 of the Sinnoh Pokemon, so I got Pal Park unlocked, and then migrated my team from LeafGreen. My level 64 Charizard wiped the floor with most of the League.

    Now I need to start making my real team..

    Hmm. You know what's annoying as hell?

    Grinding the levels of my Pokemans so that I can actually put a dent in the Elite Four. What's the easiest way to level your dudes up so that you can beat the Elite Four and get to the parts of the game that are actually fun? (Such as being able to use the Pokemon I caught in Leaf Green.)

    EDIT: Or does someone want to trade me a high level Pokemon they don't care about so I can breeze through it myself? ;-D

    So I finished the manga today.

    I'd probably have enjoyed keeping track of all the elaborate schemes put up by Light and you-know-who, but waiting two months between releases made it hard to keep up with.

    So I've been playing Leaf Green a little bit.

    That is to say, I've logged about 60 hours on it thus far.

    I've decided that I want to get Diamond/Pearl and the Wii PKMN whenever it comes out. The reason is, is that I want to start battling on the internet.

    And since I don't really care about being the Best Pokemon Master Evar, I've decided that I will only use the first 150 Pokemon from the National Pokedex. That is, I'm gonna try to beat all the little sixth graders on WiiConnect24, using the Pokemon I played with when I was in sixth grade.

    The trick is, I need to come up with the best team possible to compete in the fourth-generation. So with the research I've done since I've started playing again, I figure I should breed new Pokemans so that I get all the proper Egg Moves and max out the stats all the right way.

    But the trick is. What should my team be? I've decided that I really like Magneton, since it gives me a Steel-type to work with. Also, I want to avoid the legendaries, because that's no fun. Also also, should I breed and train these guys in Leaf Green and then transfer them to the Pal Park thing or whatever, or do it all in Diamond/Pearl?

    Aaanyway. Advice from those of you who know more about all of this than I do right now would be appreciated. Thankya.

    #6 - Law of Temporal Variability- Time is not a constant. Time stops for the hero

    whenever he does something "cool" or "impressive". Time slows down when friends and

    lovers are being killed and speeds up whenever there is a fight.

    I'm still not sure if that explains why he didn't heal. :P

    Peter can control his powers - turn them on and off. I bet he never healed it because he wanted it as a reminder of the deaths he caused.

    Or, y'know, plot hole. Whichever.
