I'm personally more inclined to believe Darwin's theory of evolution. It seems that it's human instinct to survive, and if not through you own life then through producing an offspring. I can't say that this is a satisfying answer however. But while Darwinism isn't as comforting as creationism, I...

Sleep is probably the most helpful. Providing that low accuracy sleep moves hit, and you're not expecting a miraculous 5 turns of perpetual sleep. Although, paralysis is a doozy too. So probably sleep, with paralysis close behind.

Well in past games I can't say I've enjoyed water routes, I hate to accuse certain regions, but I personally didn't enjoy Hoenn's love for the sea. Chargestone Cave actually had plot progression and I can't say Twist Mountain is enjoyable, but at least the aesthetics differ slightly from...

Village Bridge is a really interesting concept, and ultimately completely sets it apart from the the other Unova bridges. So that's where my vote went. In general though, I really appreciate the bridge theme. I'm just grateful they weren't mandatory water routes.

Of course! It was definitely a welcomed edition. It was slightly surreal having Magikarp and Goldeen follow you on land, but as with most Pokemon contradictions, I'm willing to look past it. I really hope we see this feature again in future games, I think it would be a waste not to include it.

I feel the need to point out this wonderful thing called "separation of church and state." In most developed countries it is illegal for the church to have any sort of direct influence in politics. In fact secularism is the closest thing the French have to a state religion, so I'm also surprised...

Hello, after minutes of agonising I've decided to format my introduction with bullet points. I have a tendency to waffle, so I figure this is an easy way to keep things pleasantly concise. My name is Rob, I'm 17 and I live in the UK. In less than two weeks I'll be starting my second year of...
