I used a Scizor and an Azumarill along with Houndoom as my main team. Crobat, Bellossom and Politoed made occasional appearances.

I lost more battles than I won, but the ones I did win were primarily because my opponent had no way to stop the Azumarill train. Oh, you brought out a Blastoise? Here, I'll just use Belly Drum and become unstoppable.

Choice scarfed heracross is a monster. It has a big enough defense to take a single hit of most anything not fire/flying.

I actually didn't see a single Belly Drum Azu. All the ones I saw (including mine) were Choice Banded.

is there any particular app or website any of ya'll use to keep track of what pokemon you need and where to find them? I was gonna just count on the in-game dex and bulbapedia but if there's some interactive checklist and compendium I can use that'd be swell.

I think he meant Emerald particularly. Anyway, Ruby teleporting to a timeline where the like 8 needless deaths that occurred in the arcs final chapters didn't actually happen was one of the better parts about the ending. Because a lot of people just randomly died in that arc and it was kinda weird.

I always get amused by how in Special, Archie and Maxie who are the most sympathetic (if incredibly stupid) of the villain teams in the game get turned into completely irredeemable monsters whereas Cyrus is the one who gets a redemption plotline.

Except in the ORAS arc, where they get kinda-redeemed through the stupidest possible means. They come back to help stop the meteor from destroying the world, but in their ORAS design and personalities. Which confuses everyone, because they were last seen becoming good-as-dead. Eventually it's revealed that they were hanging out in the Distortion World for a while, at some point their minds merged and un-merged and somehow explained the personality flips, and then they heard the call from Groudon and Kyogre after a brief dimensional hole opened back to the real world.

You get the feeling the writer was really stumped on how to explain ORAS Archie and Maxie being the opposite of the Archie and Maxie they'd already written(and killed off).

The sheer lengths the manga goes to show off all the Pokemon and moves and characters and still keep it in a progressive, linear story is absolutely amazing and I love it so much. Because it's loving Pokemon, so there's all kinds of batshit explanations as to how things happen and it's wonderful.
