illusions-and-mayhem replied to your post:What animal would describe you Kaito?

Squirrel also works for him. Maybe even ermine or sugar glider.

(Hmm… Sugar glider, yes. Ermine or a ferret or weasel of some sort… possibly. Not too big on the squirrel, actually, but that’s really just me personally. It might work for Kaito, considering all the times I’ve seen them try stealing food from the bird feeders at my grandparent’s house. And more than one instance of jumping from a freakin’ tree to get past the barrier they put on the pole. But they all seem to be more high energy animals, which I actually don’t normally associate with Kaito. Playful animals I do, but Kaito really isn’t as active unless he’s got an audience. He’s really fairly quiet most of the time, just friendly.

(And I know these animals aren’t hyper all the time, and sugar gliders not really at all, but the general reputations of the other two precede them. Hence my ordering of likelihood going in backwards listed order from what you gave.))

((I said I had the one for the DS. So the blue one? There was a blue one, right? But I might get one of the other ones later. If I see ‘em for cheap enough. *shrugs* Because they’re fun.

Okay. I’ll try and see if I can get it while it’s on the ground sometime then. Thanks. The other two trials weren’t that bad. But just… ugh. Doesn’t help that electric type  moves aren’t very effective against it. So there’s nothing I can do to weaken the thing.

And that sound really annoying. Now I’m wishing I had checked to see how far my little brother got in the game before he gave it to me, but I deleted the save file pretty quickly.

Thanks for the advice though. ^^))

(Ah, yeah, Blue Rescue Team. ^^; I’m the one who had Red, since it was before I had a DS at the time.

…Actually, yeah, that might be why the trials always stand out. You can never take any of the other Pokemon to help with them… And Poke assists are godsends with most captures. In the later game, you could have more than one than one type of partner. Had to be switched out if you wanted to change between them, but dear lord was that useful. And the third game, you could just summon certain Pokemon as captured ones, after certain points. And not the legends, though they’re fun in their own way. Actual Pokemon automatically added to your party if you had the space and remembered the symbol. That was awesome.)

((You’re making me want to play the Mystery Dungeon game I had, but it was in the old Game Boy case that I lost track of over a year ago. I don’t even remember which one it was by name, just that it was one of the first two and was the one for the DS. Pretty sure… I can’t even remember which Pokemon I was. Oz.

And I’m stuck in the trial thing. I’ve done two of them, but the stupid destruction Pokemon keeps getting away from me. Can’t even remember which Pokemon it is. Switched to playing Animal Crossing on Easter and apparently I can’t remember that far back. XD But like, I swear I’ve gotten the right number of circles at least twice and then couldn’t get my stylus off the screen fast enough. And my stylus flew the other day and I’m not trying it with my finger.

…

And I cannot use the Force to find it. So stop saying that. If I could use the Force, more of those golf balls would have gone in the hole growing up.

It’s a blue lightsaber one the owner of a game store gave me when I told him the one that came with the 3DS I got there broke.

And I’ve gone totally off-topic. Can you tell I only really just woke up?

But yeah. I don’t think I’ve played any of the spin-offs besides the ones I’ve mentioned so far.

… Apparently I can remember the flow of the battle better than the Pokemon’s name. Welp. Try to get it while it’s flying. Don’t touch the screen when it lands and sends out two bursts of three shockwaves. Quickly draw one circle around it while it’s on the ground so you don’t get blasted by the beam it shoots out. Try again until I mess up enough that the capture thing breaks… Or get tired of trying and give up and let the capture thing break. I know the Pokemon’s blue though. But names. Meh.

Sometimes I’d give up because my wrist got too sore to continue.

I like the game, but this Pokemon is making me want to throw it in frustration.))

(XD *casts hypnosis to make everyone play the Mystery Dungeon games~* And the one you had was Red Rescue Team, the only one for the GBA. I had that one as well, but the second gen ones are a lot bigger and more to explore, Pokemon to recruit and such. And it has an after-the-main-story story. Basically two arcs in the game, which was fun. No personal home, though…

And the Ranger Pokemon is Salamence. …And yeah, he was annoying, too… Charizard is the fourth trial in that game, but yeah. Just got to get timing and luck to capture some at points. And you can keep your stylus down while it’s using Hyper Beam, so long as the line isn’t in danger of being hit, so it’d keep whatever circles you made. But yeah, a lot from the first game especially were difficult… I do think the trials held the more irritating ones, though. At least, they stood out to me more as being… Oh, nope, wait, just remembered my most hated one.

…If you do go back and get further, just to say. Steelix is the worst to deal with… Just touching it will damage the styler. And it’s freakin’ long and hard to even get circled without part of it being off-screen. Get a fighting type, it’ll make life much easier… Still hate the thing, though… Argh… The memories are coming back…)

shadowchildkaito replied to your post:(Umm… so I downloaded Pokemon Rumble World and…

((I had one of the Mystery Dungeon games and loved it. Loving the first Ranger game but am stuck at this one point. And am semi-addicted to Shuffle because I’m a sucker for those kinds of games.))

(Of the spin-offs, the Mystery Dungeon games have been my favourite, though the newest one wasn’t quite as good as it’s predecessors… Still good on it’s own, but I have some issues against it because I played the first two generations of the series. All the Ranger games are great, if a bit challenging to actually get every Pokemon available. (But then, what Pokemon game makes that easy?) Pokepark isn’t as accessible, since it’s a Wii thing, but they were nice, especially the second where you could switch between Pikachu and the Unova starters. My brother got the first Rumble game downloaded, but I was the one who played it more, and then got the others aside from Rumble U. I think my reason for enjoying them is pure collection purposes, because it really is my favourite part of Pokemon as a whole. Getting all the Pokemon. The puzzle games are good ways of wasting away time, and I don’t hate them, but I don’t get addicted to them either.

I think I like most of the spin-off because they don’t focus as much on battle. The main games are still fun, but a lot more pressure has been put on people to really train their Pokemon in specific ways if they hope to have any fun outside of the story. Not completely, it’s easy to ignore, but I remember when it really was just ‘train your Pokemon to a high level, teach them good attacks, make a balanced team’. It was simpler, and I could actually fight decently then. I don’t really want to do all the things people tend to to battle each other now, so focus goes to getting the Pokemon, and the more adventure and  collection focused spin-offs catch my interest so much.

…Also not having to worry too much about levels and grinding to continue, that helped too. With the spin-offs, if you have good enough skill, even if you were weaker than you should be, you can still win. Mystery Dungeon might be the only exception, but even then, they have all sort of items to help with a huge level difference. Know how to use them, and you can win anything… Especially in the second gen of them.)

(Umm… so I downloaded Pokemon Rumble World and Pokemon Shuffle from the e-shop… I might be gone for the day. Because I seriously love the Rumble games especially and they tend to hold me for a while…

Though that does make me wonder how many people like the spin-off Pokemon games… I’m not the biggest fan of the ones like Shuffle and Trozei and Pinball, even if I’ll play them. I don’t hate them, they just wear out the enjoyment faster than others. They’re time-killers. But things like Rumble, Mystery Dungeon, Pokepark, and the Ranger games I’ve loved to death…)

(Oh, riiiight…. One of the headcanons I’ve wanted to mention… Kaito’s Kid is known for his card gun, because it’s Kaito’s main weapon and what he constantly uses both in and out of costume. Playing cards to match the magician aspect, but clearly are more deadly if they can stick into concrete. Now everyone knows that much, but the part I thought of was how similar it did feel to knife throwing… which is what we saw Toichi do in Shinichi’s Childhood Adventure… So I think that was Toichi’s main thing. Or, one of them. Probably had more than one, since he had more experience. He, or maybe Kaito built the gun, but I don’t actually picture Toichi himself using it that much. But I do think knives would be his weapon of choice. Just probably didn’t use them as often as Kaito relies on his gun.)
