November 8th, 2013 12:04 AMElite Overlord LeSabre™I know, it has the same layout as the Kanto from FR/LG, but it just doesn't feel like the same region with everything they took out of it. And I actually thought the music in the originals was better (and my brother thinks the HG/SS rival theme music in particular was much worse xD). And actually, in the new Pokemon games, I have to do the same thing with playing my own music, for the reason that a certain idiotic rodent gets its anime voice in the game - very stupid decision if you ask me.
Yes, exactly! And to be honest, I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it if not for those statements - I would've been like "Okay, Leaf was champion for a while and then took off for another region, and they found someone else to take the spot she vacated, I can accept that." But since they outright credit everything to "a boy," that's when I took issue with the whole thing. I mean, just say it was "a kid," that way they wouldn't alienate everyone who played FR/LG as the girl. And really, the technology was there for the DS to read a FR/LG cartridge and place your character/team on that mountain, and why they didn't go with that idea will forever baffle me.
It was a great time - I even attempted a cosplay as Lisa this time, complete with a Meowth plush I carried around :P But, yeah, I remember all too well those days of late night studying and - well, they weren't really 15 page papers, but they were 15 pages worth of math problems and formulas where I had to show every step and write mathematical proofs. So they were like papers, except with more numbers, math symbols, and Greek letters lol. Those were a royal pain.
Well, at least it's only about a month off, and I'll still be here waiting to see the next chapter, unless some weird catastrophe happens lol. Sounds like a good plan, just let me know that you're still here xD -
November 7th, 2013 1:46 PMHaruka of HoennYeah, I see what you mean when you say it's a chore. Kanto in HG/SS just seems empty, and what makes it worse for me is that the music is underwhelming. (I didn't like the music in HG/SS in general as much as I did for the other games, but in Johto it was at least bearable.) In Kanto, though, it was almost painful to listen to, and didn't do the FR/LG soundtrack justice. Whenever I do play HeartGold, I always either have my DS on silent, or substitute with some music of my own.
And now I understand your frustration at the exclusion of Leaf. :P I walked into a Pokemon Center in some town, and talked to a man who said that "a boy" made Team Rocket go away, and at that point I remembered your fic about Leaf and thought her exact same lines: "I don't remember my name being Red! Granted, my skirt's red, but still..." Then, in Cerulean City, the bicycle salesman guy fondly remembered a boy who popularized his bicycle brand... and I was like fool it was me the whole time. Haha.
Hope you had fun at that anime convention. It sounds much more fun than what I'm doing, which is sitting at my desk all day and studying. I'm making my writing hiatus official until December; that doesn't mean I can't chat, only that I won't be writing. I'll VM you from time to time just to assure you that I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth. :P -
November 3rd, 2013 3:03 PMElite Overlord LeSabre™Okay, I guess that's fine. Hell, quite a few of my relatives forgot completely, so there you go :P So thanks :) Take a guess at where I spent my birthday (Hint: It's on my profile page). Of course the weekend right before was an anime convention which was a lot of fun.
Same here - it'll be a long time before you get to read about Lisa ramming her million dollar motorhome into a stolen Greyhound bus along Interstate 85 :P As for Pokemon stuff, it's mostly been those new games I've been playing. And I'm enjoying dressing up my character more than I probably should (see my avatar). I can't get something that looks close to Lisa but what I've come up with is cute in her own way :)
Frankly, I thought the whole G/S/C/HG/SS postgame was disappointing too. Yeah, it's another region, but it's a bare-bones version of it and there's no plot or story motivating you to play through it, and it just feels like a chore. Not to mention that the biggest fraud in the Pokemon franchise is in the HG/SS postgame lol
Well, at least there's still Platinum (I still have my original game file on there too; last time I battled with Platinum was at an anime convention in April 2012.) I actually have two copies of Leaf Green so I can keep one and start over in another. I really don't feel motivated to play through any other Pokemon game it seems. -
November 3rd, 2013 7:20 AMHaruka of HoennI've been missing a lot of things lately >.< The days from October 28th-31st were very busy so I totally forgot to leave you a message, but I guess that's not an excuse. I feel really bad now. Happy belated birthday?
Anyways, unfortunately, I probably won't have much free time to write Roots properly at least until December. I've started making notes for the next few chapters, and I've made some good ones, but I need to actually get to writing the next chapter before I can say I made any real progress. :P In the meantime, I guess what sort of Pokemon-related things have you been up to? I've beaten the Elite Four in HeartGold, but beyond that I can't motivate myself to play for more than a few minutes at a time. The game doesn't make me want to explore it like other games did. I don't know why.
Now I'm at the point where I'm regretting how many times I've restarted my old games (thankfully not Platinum), because besides Platinum, I have no completed game files anymore. -
November 3rd, 2013 2:19 AMElite Overlord LeSabre™You totally missed my birthday:/
With that aside, I guess this is one of those "checking in because we haven't talked in forever" type of messages lol. Progress on my bus hijacking story: 0% :P -
October 19th, 2013 11:08 PMElite Overlord LeSabre™Yes, yes it was.
You've made more progress than I have as far as writing my story lol New games and everything. One writing piece I might have you look over soon, when I post it, would be my review for said new games. They're actually pretty good, which surprised me completely.
Oh yes, as a bit of trivia, I'm typing this from my room at the Quality Inn in Matthews, NC (don't go stalking me; I check out this morning lol) Even among Quality Inns, I think this one's a cut above. Really nice place. -
October 19th, 2013 2:00 PMHaruka of HoennHaha, that's awesome :P
And all right. If you need any help at any point, just VM me and I'll try to give some valuable advice. As for me, I finally managed to get started on Chapter 37 after more than a month of not doing anything. Haha. I'm slowly working my way through the chapter notes I made a while ago, because some changes are in order for the concluding Pastoria chapters. I don't have a rough draft of anything yet, but I'll keep you updated on my progress! -
October 5th, 2013 5:51 PMElite Overlord LeSabre™Yep, and I actually saw a Leaf cosplayer there :) I can now die happy xD
Awesome, I'll let the artist know. It could take awhile, but I'll definitely show you it when I'm done :)
As for the plot, I don't think I want to mention it given the recent violent incidents in Washington (but I think you could guess what their plot is from just me saying that). I'm leaning toward leaving them on the bus; the only two issues are (a) Lisa can't get all slam-happy on the Interstate (not that she should be doing so anyway with a $1.5 million vehicle) and (b) the terrorists need to have enough of a presence to keep any passengers from trying to play hero. -
October 5th, 2013 5:06 PMHaruka of HoennGoing as Giovanni? Oh snap xP
And sure, I love seeing new drawings with Sadie in them. Makes me think fondly back to the days of DOD and wonder if I'll ever even get around to thinking about bringing it back... :P As for your plot hole, what do the bandits want to accomplish? I think it would be sort of inconvenient for them to just make a random stop and force the passengers off, but either way could lead to some interesting developments. Like, if the passengers were let off the bus, they could potentially warn Lisa/someone else about what's going on; or conversely, if they remained on the bus, it would create good tension and force Lisa to think twice about each move. It's up to you of course, but if you have any problems or scenes you want me to look at, I can do it. (Though as of now it might take me a while to get back to you.) -
October 5th, 2013 1:05 AMElite Overlord LeSabre™I figured as much lol. School has a way of doing that, since I've been there, done that, pulled the all-nighter study sessions, etc. Good luck and don't go crazy like I almost did lol
My writing is at a standstill due to lack of motivation. And one major plot hole in my one story - do the terrorists force the passengers off the bus or keep them on as hostages? If it's the latter, then Lisa will have to be less aggressive when trying to stop the bus with her own motorhome...
BTW, I want to have an artist draw another Lisa and Sadie pic. Can I get your permission to use her in the picture?
BTW, anime convention today. I'll be going dressed as Giovanni :P -
October 3rd, 2013 2:11 PMHaruka of HoennHey! Yeah, it's been a while :P Unfortunately, it's not because I'm in a particular mood or because I'm suffering a dry spell in writing... it's because, once again, school's started, but this time I literally can't distinguish between weekends and weekdays. :x The load should lighten after December, but until then, my writing will have to be, pretty much, on a standstill. I only have a couple of pages written of the next Roots chapter (though I know what's going to happen already), and I need to work through some plot issues for the Pastoria series. So don't expect the chapter any time soon... When I am ready to send the first draft, I'll VM you.
On the plus side, I'll always be available to chat through VM, so you can message me anytime. -
September 29th, 2013 1:02 AMElite Overlord LeSabre™Wow, it's been awhile xD Any updates, and just how are you doing in general?
-
August 20th, 2013 1:03 AMElite Overlord LeSabre™Yeah, I think it is about that time when school starts back up... it always was a busy time for me. Anyway, as usual, just VM me whenever there's anything important about the story you need to show me or ask me about!
-
August 17th, 2013 7:14 AMHaruka of HoennAll right, reply posted! Chapter 38 might take a while, because I have a busy two weeks ahead of me, but I'll try to keep a constant pace through it and not randomly drop it. I'll keep you updated.

August 15th, 2013 1:39 AMElite Overlord LeSabre™Review is posted! :) Keep me updated on 38!
