With the severe lack of UFA activity (probably the worst that we've ever seen), it is looking more likely that it will have to wait until Saturday to post draft prospects. More than 75% of the league is gearing toward UFA idle rules, so I will likely be spending 3+ hours doing in-game stuff, randomizers, and updating the spreadsheet.

That would render me unable to get to draft prospects until late Friday and the spreadsheet synced on Saturday.

You don't really need any particular ball to catch any particular pokemon. Your capture chance is something like b*s*r*(1-2*current_hp/(3*max_hp))/255, where b is a ball modifier (1 for pokeballs, 1.5 for great balls, 2 for ultra balls, and greater than 2 for special balls if their condition is met; I find the most useful to be quick/dusk balls), s is a status mutliplier (iirc paralysis is 1.5, sleep is 2), and b is some base rate that depends on the particular pokemon species. If that formula gives you a number greater than 1 you're guaranteed to capture the pokemon.

That is kind of complicated for someone like me who hasn't has to use advance math in more than half a decade. I did find that since I play mostly at night, Dusk Balls seem to be the best. I did buy like 10 from whichever city they were being sold in (Ambette maybe?). Will all those specialty balls eventually be sold in Poke Marts?

Being reminded that my Pokemon are so slow can be painful. Vespiquen's attacks came after Onix. In the fight against Grant, I felt less special about receiving a fossil since he had Amaura and Tyrant (which looks like what came out of the Jaw fossil to me). Tyrant knocked out my Amaura in one hit. I probably made the wrong decision. Eventually I won the Cliff badge and $12,000! At the time, I did not know that Pokemon level obeying rules were overstated, but my first reaction to hearing it would be up to Level 40 was that I could run into trouble again with not just Frogadier but also Vespiquen and Roselia.

Current Pokemon team:
Lv 31 Frogadier
Lv 29 Vespiquen
Lv 28 Roselia
Lv 27 Pansear
Lv 25 Pancham
Lv 23 Amaura

I went back to the cave to discover that (after teaching Stength to Pancham) it led back to the area with the Orchard and Battle Chateau. I took this time to move boulders and smash rocks (unaware too late that smashable rocks reset) in the surrounding areas. In the process, I caught Axew, Wismur, Wingull, Dwebble, and Onix.

Going north of Cyllage, I caught Hondour, fought some more Team Flare members, and stopped when I came to Geosenge Town.

Through accident, I found out that I can use my only Fire Stone on Pansear. It is typically best to wait awhile to evolve a Pokemon or is it better to evolve early because better stat increases or something with higher evolved forms?

I found my way to Cyllage City. There was a cafe that made me pay just to sit. Like the place in Lumiose City, I gave it a hard pass. Working my way around the city in no certain fashion, I was stopped to be told that I "missed" out on a bicycle race and received an HM (Strength maybe?). He (Grant) is apparently the gym leader and nobody has had the heart to tell him that he has candy or gum in his hair.

Because I have only found Luvdisc with my fishing rod, I decided to trade one for some citizen's Steelix and immediately caught another. I have no idea if there's any benefit to completing those in-game trades. I answered some dumb question and received a yellow bicycle. To complete my exploration, I ventured into a cave that I could barely do anything in and caught a Meditite.

I swapped out Inkay for Frogadier and entered the gym. It's a giant rock-climbing wall, which leads me to believe that the so-called candy is actually those little rock-climbing nubs and Grant wears them as hair accessories. The fashion in Kalos is so ridiculous that I am at a loss for words.

Trade 1

Panthers get:
G Taitusi Lutui (91, 30 y/o)

Steelers get:
WR Deion Branch (89, 34 y/o)
Panthers 1st rd (31st overall, from Dallas)
Panthers 2nd rd (25th in rd from Steelers)


Trade 2

Packers get
DT Marlon Favorite (85 - 28 yo)
WR Demiko Goodman (82 - 27yo)
Steelers 2nd rd (25th in rd)

Steelers get
WR Robert Meacham (90 - 30 yo)

Okay, so I did not look at this closely enough, but a recent PM threw me off. Any other trades like this in the future are automatically null and void. You cannot put up a trade for peer review that involves assets that you do not own. It is sketchy and more importantly, if the latter passed peer review but the former did, now what? I will correct my mistake in the game when I get back to it (I know that I gave the Packers the 2nd round pick that the Steelers did own), but I am puzzled as to why this wasn't just a three-team trade.

At the end of the cave, I met up with a guy all decked in red. He called himself fashionable and belongs to team Flare. I didn't know word play extended to anything beyond Pokemon themselves. He said something about Team Flare trying to make people happy or some nonsense. I truly don't give a shit. Before long, Serena randomly showed up for a 2-on-2 battle. She was garbage and lost a Pokemon on three consecutive turns.

Why I had to carry her ass soon became clear. I had a choice between two fossils after finding the missing assistant. Jaw or Sail? Sail sounds like a water type, and I already have a water main. Jaws sounds powerful, but it could just have a more attention-grabbing buzzword and ultimately be a letdown. I ended up taking that Sail fossil. It became Amaura and is a rock and ice type! I totally feel vindicated. Out is Ducklett. In is Amaura.

Oh, so the Rhyhorn was a former racer. I can see why it retired (or was forced to. I received something called Aerodactylite, but I'm not sure they explained what it was. I did catch that I needed Old Amber too. As I left town, I went crazy with the Old Rod, only to encounter exclusively Luvdisc, which I caught the first one I faced.

Moving along the beach, I am puzzled how my rollerskates act like every surface is the same except for rocks. I see a bunch of sparkling spots around the deep and shallow water. I am not surprised that I can't do anything about the former, but how can I stand over the latter and not do anything? Dousing rod doesn't have any affect on that, but I did grab a bunch of other nice goodies from it.

It's possible that I might do all four games. Bully is a Top 10 game of all-time, and I haven't played it since 2012. I beat all of the Mega Man Legacy Collection in the past 2-3 weeks, but I'm always up for playing 2-6 again. I haven't played an Advance Wars game since probably 2010 or 2011. Oxenfree runs well on my laptop, so I will definitely go through it.

Also, awesome! I've always need something to spur me on to a 100% run of Bully, and I enjoyed MM5 so 6 should be fun. Haven't planned Advance Wars in over a decade.

Yeah, if you beat it in the calendar month, you get credit for it.

Advance Wars

Congrats to scarlet and Wickle for having their games selected!

Also, nobody has ever given me suggestions for the mystery game in any month, and I am pretty sure that Lolo is the only person to ever play the mystery games. Still, I will go ahead and do the mystery game for October. I had a preliminary list of 15 games, which I then whittled down to 5, then 3, and finally one. Our mystery game will be Oxenfree. I was told by icon that it was "indubitably a horror game," and it was also free via Gaming with Gold a few months back and is in the current Very Postive 2 Humble Bundle.

KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy
http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg

I remembered that my Bug Badge only allows Pokemon up to Lv 30 to obey me. I have no idea the odds that a Lv 31+ will not obey me, but I decided not to take that chance once I discovered there was no gym here in Ambette Town, and I had to go find some assistant in one Glittering Cave. I swapped out Frogadier for Ducklett. I also made Panser the lead Pokemon and hold the Amulet Coin.

In one of the houses, I found a woman who was fascinated with speedy Pokemon. I looked up the speed of my Pokemon and found out that they are all slow as fuck (after subbing out Frogadier). A woman at the hotel claimed to be on vacation but was wearing an outfit similar to the staff you find in other hotels. I decided it was best to avoid her for the rest of my journey. I keep forgetting about using O-Powers! I must remember to use the one for capturing Pokemon so that I can avoid another Absol/Snorlax situation. A random guy gave me an Old Rod at the aquarium.

I finally got to ride a Rhyhorn, and that was one giant letdown. These things apparently race, but mine only had one speed: Molasses. Add in random encounters anywhere, and my enthusasium went all the way to zero fast. I did catch a Hippopotus, Helioptile, and Sandile. I also realized much later than I should that I could manually dismount from the Rhyhorn. Unfortunately, rocks are a rollerskater's arch nemesis, so I couldn't ditch the Rhyhorn completely and move at my own pace. I also had a sky battle since Vespiquen was eligible. It was tougher than it had any right to be since confusion likely tripled to amount of turns it would normally take.

After the battle, Vespiquen learned a new move, and I regretted having her learn Cut so soon. I hope there's a way to forget an HM at some point (I would like to have an HM sponge eventually) because my Vespiquen no longer has any flying moves. I entered Glittering Cave, and this was a lot different than Zubat Roost. I caught a Machop, Kangaskhan, and Cubone. I would have caught Solrock and I want to say Lunastone, but they were harder to catch than Absol or Snorlax. I really need the shops to have better Poke Ball offerings because I can't see what more I can do than knocking a Pokemon to 1 HP and have it asleep or paralyzed.

As an aside, I see that Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother. We can rule out all Cubone mothers dying at childbirth since they all lay eggs, so I'm inclined to call BS on that.

For as technologically-advanced this region is to keep up and to appeal with the youth from the real-life world, I was surprised to be told that I needed an expansion for the Pokedex. Why not just have a fully-functioning Pokedex from the start?

I am one of those players who likes to explore my surroundings before proceeding with the main path. I think that I messed up in what I assumed was the "main path." I went south of the Route 8 sign thinking the way to go was either west or east, but the path kept continuing south. During this time, I caught a Driftloon, Inkay, Absol, and Spoink. Absol was by far the hardest Pokemon to catch up to this point. An Ultra Ball (my only one!) was still not enough to catch a paralyzed Absol with 1 HP. I had to use a Timer Ball. Also what irked me in this fight (I think it was against Absol) was that I had Pancham hold a Quick Claw, which allows him to attack first when it activates. It activated but lost out to a Quick Attack. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING IT THEN?

I also see a lot of trainers below me. Once I figure out how to reach them, rest assured I will take their money. I eventually found my way to Ambette Town. Serena went on about fossils. She clearly knows more about this world than my guy does. I know he just moved into Vaniville, but I forgot if they mentioned if he was new to the region as a whole. Otherwise, he probably has a learning disability for all non-violent things. I swapped out Swirlix, who was a decent #6 Pokemon for Inkay here.

I was planning on doing a Pokemon update when I got my next badge, but I don't know when that will be:
Lv 29 Frogadier
Lv 24 Vespiquen
Lv 24 Roselia
Lv 22 Pansear
Lv 20 Pancham
Lv 14 Inkay

Venturing past the orchard, I caught an Illumise and a Smeagle. We do not need to go into details how many times I caused a Smeagle to faint before catching one. Before long, Serena popped up out of nowhere (Shauna's abrupt absence is starting to scare me given how predatory adults are in this world) and we had a 2-on-2 battle with her and I against Tierno and Trevor (I will soon forget that latter's name yet again). I was the only one with an evolved Pokemon at the start. Serena's Fletching was KO'd almost immediately, and whatever she threw out looked like her starter's evolved form. What kind of idiot starts out with a 6 oz bird when you have this 100 lb-looking cactus/rodent combo? Being an adult playing as kid who travels with kids is nerve-racking.

After that, I came to that Battle Chateau that people talked about earlier in the topic. I'm a Baron I guess. It was now that it donned on me that it's been so long since I fought a gym battle (someone did say that half the game is practically between the first and second gym battle) because I didn't recognize Viola. I just ended up fighting people who mostly had just one Pokemon, received mega cash from the Amulet Coin, and became a Viscount.

Looking at stats, for whatever reason, I realized that I don't exactly know what special attacks are in relation to special attack/defense. Is it just out-of-element moves? Like, Frogadier is a Water type, so ordinary attacks to it should be all the water and normal moves but special attacks would be like Lick (Ghost) and whatever else it can use that is of other types?

I came to a cave with the name Zubat Roost. Gee I wonder what Pokemon I will find here. I took four steps and was predictably met with a Zubat. I caught that and seconds later found out how small of a cave it was. I did see a stone slab with a conveniently similar-shaped hole nearby, but I didn't think that I could do anything about it at the moment.
