OMG, I once turned all the townspeople into cows! XD I made it so that they all said some variation of "moo" for like two weeks straight, until they started getting bored.

I started playing my AC-New Leaf game the other night, but I hadn't played in so long I can't figure out what to do. At one point, I was going to see how long it'd take for Mable to get used to my character crossdressing. My character's the boy in the game, but I found out that the Able Sisters will let you try on anything regardless of whether you're a boy or a girl in the game. I heard from someone that if you keep trying on girl's clothes that Mable will eventually start encouraging it. To this point, she hasn't. Her reaction to it is as hilarious as ever, though.

Unlike the regular axe, the Silver and Gold Axes don't break. You can use them as much as you want. It's great if you want to go wild and clear cut trees. It's a little funny to see how the townspeople's reactions change depending on what you do to "improve" your town. I've gotten some laughs out of what they say at different times during my town's development.

Cool, so do I! It took forever for one of the villagers to suggest it as a Public Works project in my game... >.> Also, yeah, the Silver Axe is ridiculously hard to get (I still haven't seen it available at the gift shop). I mostly needed the Gold Axe because I had a bunch of trees I planted early on and basically turned my town into a forest.

The Silver Axe is an RNG flaw. You can't get it through gameplay. You have to hope it appears as a buy-able item on the island, which it never does. Leif will give you the Gold Axe when you buy 50 saplings. BTW, do you have the Police Station yet?

I played daily until I got the Gold Axe. I then chopped all the trees and replanted them. I still didn't get perfect town. I should get back to the game sometime

Ack, the 3DS is so weird. I'm not used to how it alerts you to other friends being online the same time you are. What's stranger is that it tells you what game they're playing!

I didn't know anyone played AC-New Leaf anymore. That game was like my second life for this entire summer and fall, until I inevitably ran out of stuff to do!

No, you actually have to log into the GTS for it to count as a trade on the GTS, but they all register the same.

Yes, to an extent. GTS registers the country and language of the person you trade with into your Acquaintances. If a Pokemon is from a different language game, it registers that to the Pokedex. Otherwise, it doesn't have any real differences.

I...am a terrible GTS addict... I got the Zoroark as a Level 1 Zorua from a Peruvian player (after trading it for Helioptile). It was a nice addition.

Gym 6. I just beat Valerie. I would have completed the game by now, but I've been working a lot lately. I'm also doing a thorough play-through, so I haven't been trying to rush.

Lapras is excellent for just drawing out a battle, and Sheer Cold is an excellent filler move. I got lazy, though, and didn't give it Leftovers (I'm in the middle of raising it in-game actually, so I challenged you a little unprepared). Next time we battle, I'll have a more organized team. The ones I used were mostly ones just the ones I had over Level 50 and were kind of EV-trained. Admittedly, I still haven't actually beaten X yet.

At least you took out Mienshao and Zoroark. They're killers if you don't have a defensive strategy. I normally use them to bait people into switching to a Psychic type or Ghost type, but I change tactics when I see Klefki or Mawile. Also, I'm surprised how often Sheer Cold works, even if I have to use it a few times. It's always a nasty way to catch people off-guard; nobody sees it coming.

Whoa, that was a long match! Thanks for battling me. :)

We should battle or trade in our Pokemon games sometime... I keep forgetting to ask if or when you have time.

Oh my goodness I love your signature! Love Lab is one of my favourites! :D Have you checked out my rhythm heaven thread in the video game section?

Basically, they're considered touch-screen phones with a lot of apps and features (i.e. like the iPhone). I never cared for them. I still use an old-style flip phone. I can text, call, and go online with it, but that's about it. I was using it for FB a lot before I got home wifi finally, now I rarely use it for Internet unless I'm traveling and need to look something up.

I've kind of become a demo addict, for better or worse. I remember a time when I actually had to physically go to a store to play demos of games after they came out, but with EShop, I can just do it at home.

Also, ACK! I'm so glad I finally got WiFi at home. For the longest time I had to either jump around to wifi hotspots or go to the local library just to get online. Other than that, my only option was via my cell phone, which is a pain to use since it's not a smartphone (actually, I don't think I'd like a smartphone since my sister has one and she says it's kind of a pain to use when typing things out. Same as using the Internet browser on the 3DS, I'd think).

It's supposed to be more like FF where the concepts are kind of similar, but the stories and settings are different. The only thing that's supposed to link the games is be the quest to get to Yggdrasil (or at least that's what I got from the descriptions of the two games on EShop).

Admittedly, I only started downloading demos when I (FINALLY) got wifi at home, i.e. a few months ago. It's great that EShop has them, otherwise I may have passed up FE: Awakening and EO4 not knowing how good they are.

It probably is. The premise is that you (as a warrior from a clan of spear-weilders called Highlanders) embark on a mission for the Radda Hall in the town of Etria to investigate the ruins of an ancient laboratory. Inside the decaying research facility, you find a bunch of ancient machines that have suddenly become active as you explore. Eventually, you come across a locked chamber that you have to find a way to unlock. That's where the title character comes into play. You open the door and find a girl sealed in a stasis pod, who suddenly awakens when you approach the machine. However, when she comes to, you and a group of strangers also investigating the ruins suddenly get attacked by a monster. (This is all happens within the first half-hour of gameplay, btw. The actual demo is easily an hour-and-a-half long, give or take.)

According to EShop, it's a two-part game. Classic mode is supposed to be a revised version of the first game's adventure, while Story mode is supposed to probe into the origins of Yggdrasil (this ancient Holy Tree in the game series). I'd urge you to try the demo of either EO4 or EOU if you have time. They're both worth downloading and cover a lot of the basics in each game, though you can only play the introduction to Story Mode in EOU's demo.
