How was this whole thing constructed?
He shakes his head, dusting some fading sparks of Aether from his knees.
"Sorry, I'm Cidryn", he waves apologetically at the newcomer.
"We're not following anyone dodgy, but we're looking for a lost family member, if you want to come along."
Cidryn would like to study the mechanism.
But it's possibly a waste of time

A You know what's a fantastic thing not to have is virus-compromised mechanical appendages in a confined space with irreplaceable, vulnerable human flesh. Any randomized mechanical movement in here is to be devoutly wished against.
I wonder why Ed, and not someone with a Mediterranean sound. It’s like companies are drawn to spending a lot of money on things that were relevant five years ago.

I would be utterly unsurprised if that's how far out they start the planning for these things. They churn the games out like a factory as it is, might as well streamline the entire process into an assembly line.
Not that Vesta has any awareness of what's happening, but in the heirloom stories, heroes never turn down a new party member. As for who it piggybacks on, I'm voting for KC - the less meat is involved the easier it'll be for Vesta to graft on additional storage and processing and maybe mitigate some of the harm.

I'm dead inside and this song made me feel nothing.
I did not add to it my playlist. Or start tapping my foot.
A new form of self evolved artificial intelligence? How fascinating. The things it could teach me... er... us.
Just don't take up my bonsai space. - Cust
I have a human brain. Mostly. So I don't know of sharing it is the best idea. Besides I have to concentrate on the fastness we need to leave these oinks in the dust.
It would be nice to have a new friend along though.
XKC is already in communication with it though, so that seems like the best candidate to me.
Some real cool pokes. And I did need to check the starter evos just to know who I'm picking.
And I definitely know who I'm picking now.
Yeah, I looked at that last night too. Blurry pictures but I have a decent idea of what they look like. I am happy with my starter choice
I'm going Sprigatito which looks pretty cool in her final form. I also liked Fuecoco quite a bit, his final form is pretty bad-ass (would almost consider switching but I do like Sprigatito's quite a bit). Quaxly looked kind of lame.
Some of the paradox forms make me jealous for Scarlet, tho mecca Tyranitar looks awesome.
I do want to look up the starters, but I'm also afraid that once I start looking for one spoiler, I'll end up looking up all of them because I have no self-control in that regard.

so are the paradox forms in the opposite game then? The future forms in Scarlet and Ancient in Violet?
If so thats awesome because holy shit that Ancient Salamance looks great and I'm getting Violet

Yes, that's correct. Anything that looks ancient-y is Scarlet and anything future-y is Violet. And yes, I am jealous of that Salamance since I'm getting Violet, because it looked freaking awesome. Maybe the best paradox form
Oh, these are much higher quality. The ones I saw were super low-rez/blurry - enough you could see what they looked like but basically like they had taken the image and shrunk it way down and lost a lot of detail cuz of that. (edit: Ok, looks like some on that page are the shitty low-rez ones I saw still.. anything that says "Sprite" for example)

Question time!
Our stowaway needs a new name. What’s it gonna be?
The brain reaches back into the depths of antiquity and spits forth precedent from near forgotten historical documents. r2-d2 = Artoo
C-3PO = Threepio
BD-1 = Beedee
C1-10P - Chopper
ML0-5.5 = ...?
If our new sapient companion is amenable to such a moniker, I'd suggest "Milo".
I'm hoping I can avoid seeing any info from the leaks. I may have accidentally glimpsed Sprigatito's second or final form but I'm not sure. I didn't linger long enough to see if it was real.

wait shit i see what I was misreading. So I don't get the sweet Salamance in Violet. Boooo.
Although I guess pending how trades work with those forms I could always try and get helped out by someone on here!

Yeah, just tell yourself it was a fake leak and then it can be a surprise if it wasn't

I feel fairly certain that you will be able to trade everything across versions. So yeah, should be very easy to get the ones not in your game. Even more so once Home support is added and offers a non-shitty trade method. I assume SV is just gonna have SwSh/BDSP/Arceus levels of garbage "enter a link code" trading.. Still no idea why they regressed from the GTS after gen 7 and left it exclusive to Home... I guess it's easier to regulate in one place like that, considering Sun & Moon's is flat out broken due to hackers and X&Y's is full of a bunch of garbage entries that crash the game (but only if you try to trade, not if you "look" at them like S&M)
Ah that time of the cycle where people with the hottest takes on leaked pokemon are giving them and I decide whether these hot takes are going to be funny or if I can just wait one week.

These are two separate actions, yes? Does Hema have something stashed elsewhere for Enner, but will be at the shop to get roughed up?
I'm torn. Jathe and Hema are friends and Vesta would want the staged robbery to look convincing. But also would be devastated if anything happened to Enner (cripes, don't tell her that) because she had to go solo.
I wonder if you turn an existing pokemon into a paradox because I have a
perfect Tyranitar that's just itching to become more of a badass

Damn squirrel (spotted, but possibly also other critters) has been snacking on or just otherwise vandalizing my plants! Which sucks, because they'd really improved outdoors, and the peperomia at least might be a goner. >:(
My cherry tomatoes thrived this year, and squirrels (and/or raccoons?) ate all but 2 of them before they were ripe enough to pick

On the whole I like the ancient forms much better, but future has a couple solid ones like Volcarona and Tyranitar, and of course Miraidon

On the other hand, maybe that time isn't when we'd be letting down friends. Besides, sitting one out isn't really my scene.
