Pokemon Generation VI: X/Y & Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

[Protoman Blues]

Can you breed me one too?

[Quickman]

Sure.  I have a Mudkip in the Daycare currently, but once I pull it out, the Eevee will go in.  Trojan the Imposter Ditto is doing the job, while DrSmoothLove is on vacation.

[Quickman]

Okay, Ringman and I made some videos.  These are just short vignettes, part of a series of videos we like to call...

Masterpiece Trainer PR Theatre

First in our series, our intrepid young trainer becomes an urban explorer.  Some things deserve to stay behind closed doors in...

The House

Next, our heroine finds herself in an unfortunate predicament when her passenger Pokemon loses its precious cargo.  She was unprepared for...

The Fall

Sometime there is a good reason to be afraid of the dark in...

The Thing

[Phi]

The Fall was great. Gotta love dark humor.

[Mirby]

Haha those are pretty great. I liked The Thing cause I'd probably react that way if a Xatu flashed me

Awesome. Thanks!

I finally decided to name my Houndoom Schwarzen, the German word for blacken, but I couldn't get the a with the 2 dots on top of it.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, I don't think there's any of that.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah, also started to raise the Eevees, I already evolved one into a Jolteon and I raised another to be an Espeon but then I forgot it was night time so I have to level it up again tomorrow.

I really hope there will be move tutors in the Hoenn remakes because gosh darn it I really wish I could have taught an Umbreon Foul Play.

[Quickman]

The umlaut isn't really necessary for the name.  There are a few Schwartzbaughs, Schwartzkopfs, and I've seen some Schwarzen in the phone book.

[Sakura Leic]

I know but it looks cool.

[Quickman]

Oh, if you try recording your 3DS, the best way to get decent video from it, particularly with dark backgrounds, is to put the backlight on its lowest setting, and then film in a dark room.

I improvised a darkroom by draping a hoodie over the camera and the 3DS and recorded.  I was also able to isolate the sound a bit better.  I don't have a video camera, so I use the iPad, and a darkroom reduces screen reflection and glare.

Yo, check yer Mystery Gifts. A Fancy Pattern Vivillon is waiting for y'all cause there have now been 100,000,000 trades made with the GTS.

[Sakura Leic]

The Pokemon Trading Card Game for Gameboy Color is coming to the virtual console.

[Quickman]

Yo, check yer Mystery Gifts. A Fancy Pattern Vivillon is waiting for y'all cause there have now been 100,000,000 trades made with the GTS.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA *rushes to grab 3DS and trips over a stool.*

[Sakura Leic]

I hope Wily gets back before the 31st to get his.

[Quickman]

He was online about nine days ago.  I've been 3DS-stalking him.

[N-Mario]

Yo, check yer Mystery Gifts. A Fancy Pattern Vivillon is waiting for y'all cause there have now been 100,000,000 trades made with the GTS.

AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! THANK YOU for the reminder! I got it now!


Now begs the question..... WHO/WHAT exactly was the 100,000,000th Pokemon traded? It must have been recorded somehow.

[Sakura Leic]

You know I think it would be fun to make an Eevee Sunny Day team for the hell of it just to be different.

[Quickman]

I brought this up in the Thinking thread, but I'll repeat it here.

Would anyone be interested in a Trainer PR Video challenge?  Basically, you'd have to make the most interesting video you can, given the limitations.  They can be short vignettes, like the examples I posted, or just the most epic PR Video EVAR.  With the limitations, it forces you to think outside the box in order to tell the story that you want.

Would anyone be interested in doing this?  There won't be a prize, as I'm just curious to see what all people come up with.  If the examples took your idea, it doesn't matter.  See if you can make it better!  If we all end up making haunted house vignettes, then so be it.  Apparently, it's great for short horror flicks.

[Sakura Leic]

Okay none of Eevee, except Leafeon for obvious reasons, can learn Solar Beam and Leafeon's Special Attack kind of sucks.  Why do they have to make the move variety of the Eeveelutios suck, especially Jolteon's and Glaceon's, even with Move Tutors.  This is why I normally don't train Eevees. 

[Quickman]

I may need to storyboard my next idea.  Knowing my limitations, this may end up being very tricky to do and time it right.

I will make a ten-second cosmic horror.  It will star a Malamar.  It will include insanity.  How I'll go about making this and what the basic plot will be will be tricky.  Definitely need to go through the options, write down what I can do, and then storyboard it.

With some creativity, After Effects, and a lot of patience, you could make an entire movie with these, but you'll need to make them in ten-second chunks and string them together in After Effects.

If I have some free time for that, I may try my hand at it. I have absolutely no idea what the theme would be though.

And I'm guessing you unlock more music, expressions, etc. for the PR videos as you progress through the game? I think i'm in the middle or something, as I haven't played in a while.

[Quickman]

Yeah, the more you do around Lumiose and such, the more things you can unlock.  I've unlocked all of the captions by talking to that one guy in the one cafe on North Boulevard.  Not sure what you need to do to unlock all the music and such, though.

...Time to go check Serebii and see what they say!  I think I have everything unlocked.

QuickEdit: Yeah, max style unlocks the music and such, while speaking to the one guy in Cafe Action! each day gets you all the captions.
