I just picked up my copy of Ultra Moon today at EB Games. I got the one that came with the steelbook and the store assistant also gave me that double-sided poster.
First time I actually got some free gifts with a Pokemon game purchase, funnily enough.
I saw your Azurilland posts and you lost two of them against Ilima, who possesses the most overpowered Smeargle in the world (Technician is way too OP at such an early stage when your team doesn't have the defenses to stand up to it) and one that fell in its first battle and failed to shine at all. And then you go on to lose another one to Hala, and you got something terrible for the Ten Carat Hill encounter.
Anyways, best of luck with both Salazzle and Lurantis!
It was a while ago but yeah Wobbu was kinda hard to train. My team choices were driven mostly by if I hadn't really used them before, which is why I used it and didn't use Feraligatr. Not to mention I wanted to use something other than another water type.
It's debatable, but that's because Marriland is an experienced player. Usually the times he racks up a high number of deaths is because of something he didn't expect.
I guess that's great that you're doing another Monocolor Challenge. I still would have loved a Nuzlocke/Wedlocke in Sun & Moon from you, especially since that games has some scary branded Nuzlocke Killers.
And update on Marriland's Sun Nuzlocke - he will take on Team Skull's mansion next episode and still has only lost five Pokemon. It's definitely on track to surpass the Platinum Nuzlocke for the lowest death count of a main Nuzlocke on his channel.
Speaking of Wedlockes, I started watching a Platinum Wedlocke from a YouTube named Kroma and I'm currently up to the Gym battle against Fantina where he finally got his first death of the series and get this - the death in question wasn't just one Pokemon, but Fantina did a huge massacre and killed four of his Pokemon - Aftershock the Grotle, Turbo the Luxio, Colossus the Geodude and Fahrenheit the Ponyta. Aftershock was also female which as we know is rare to see on a starter.
The only two members of Kroma's team who survived that deadly Gym were Flashback the Alakazam and her partner Hurricane the Roselia.
What makes these two Pokemon that died to crit Future Sights even more funny is that Hawthorne (Whimsicott) died to a Gothorita while you lost Mim to a Duosion. Both Psychic-types in question are coincidentally version exclusives in the 5th Gen games.
I believe Hi4H had had that Axew since the beginning of the game since that was what he got when he traded his starter away, and its Litleo partner is also still standing since joining the team at the beginning. I do hope those two can make it all the way so they can be like a pair version of Marriland's long-running survivors like Fries, Carrot and Cardinal.

Well, I did kind of already talk about it in the thread I made a week and a half ago, but I decided after some heavy thought that it was time for me to bid farewell. Some of you may not know what I'm talking about, but...here.
So, a week ago, I posted a blog about how I was feeling atrocious after three of my game systems, as well as some of my Pokémon games, were gone just like that. But tonight, I got a call out of nowhere from an unknown ID, saying that he had found my games.
Here's where it gets unusual: it was from a student who goes to Eastern University, which is right across the street from Cabrini College, where I am now. He had been near the steps connecting the two colleges and he found them...
So I did briefly mention this on Twitter, and on Marriland, but I guess i'll mention it here too.
So I went to the Philadelphia Flyers' home opener yesterday at the Wells Fargo Center, and that was an enjoyable time, as they won and it was neat to go to their first home game of the season. But when I got back to the house I live in at my college, I noticed that the door to my room was open. I was like, what? I thought I closed that. And when I got in, I found out that three of my...
So we're just about to end the sixth month of 2015, and tomorrow will be July, so we're halfway through the year. It started off quite happily, but went downhill recently, but then went in the right direction again, and that's what i'm gonna talk about right now. (Warning: This is going to be very long, so be prepared.)
The year started off on a pretty good note, as I was entering another semester at college and took classes that involved things like acting, British literature, and...
It's a sad day when one of your favorite YouTubers tells the world that he will not be having any more series of what the loyal viewers of his videos long for. I remember when the Platinum Nuzlocke of his came on the forums as a response to people who were disappointed from the Heart Gold finale, and people were enjoying when it mostly was a screenshot oriented run before it went up on YouTube. And then once it did, things were not pleasant, to see how he got viewers saying "lol no deaths"...
