    That's my main problem with the Ranger series. That, added to the fact you can't skip the cutscenes. I can't count how much time I've wasted just scrolling through text when I die and have to rewatch a scene.


    Bad memories of Kincaid....BAD MEMORIES!

    Dialogue was fine in the first two but this one has way too much...and you can't speed it up.

    Well, I'm not getting my Deoxys, thanks Nintendo for poorly thinking out this concept and pretty much slapping me in my face!


    Okay, so apparently the Deoxys mission is LOCAL WIRELESS... yay, too bad I don't know anyone who has the game! Was making it Wi-Fi that hard? In addition it gives you the option either of becoming a Leader OR joining as a member... WHY WOULD YOU US THAT DECISION! Everyone wants to be a Leader, especially with the Deoxys Mission where the leader ONLY gets the Deoxys! They should have made it Wi-Fi, and just thrown in a room where once 4 people have gathered you start the mission and it isn't until after the mission is finished you find out who the leader is. OR make it, once again over Wi-Fi, that even if you are a Leader you CAN'T get Deoxys until you have been a member of another Leader's team 3 times.


    I'll try taking my DS to my college and see if maybe there is one other person there who just so happens to be playing Pokemon Ranger and also trying to get into the Deoxys mission but decide to let me be the Leader (of course I'll help them out, as long as they promise (yay right) that they'll help me get my Deoxys after helping them).


    At least I still can get the Shaymin. I guess Heatran is always nice to get, and Manaphy I guess I'll get for the third time. Though seriously, they messed SO bad here, I mean why not have made the Manaphy mission the one you need to do with multiple people? Oh, and let's not forget which Downloadable Pokemon did they use to have players buy the game? DEOYXS! Maybe I should just get a cheating device and rip my Deoxys out, if this game isn't going to be fair then why should I?


    So, anyone here got their Deoxys yet? Or better yet, anyone near the New York, Rego Park area? I'm not too sure how far Local Wireless travels, but I think as long as we're in the same city it might work. We don't have to meet up, just set-up a time to play the game and help each other get their Deoxys, though we have to agree that we can't be picky about it having any of the "special moves" like Meteor Mash, I think at this point just getting the Deoxys is good enough.


    Finally I'll finish off writing about the game's story today (and a little extra) and then have something to ask all of you.

    Played for a while today. Stopped and saved at the Sky Fortress. Purple Eyes felt like a waste of a character.

    Honestly all the Color Eyes character felt a bit of a waste. Now while I guess that was the point, with them being the Dragon and they were probably the individual Pokemon Pincher group leaders before they were gathered together, still I felt like getting rid of them from the storyline was a bit of a waste. While I haven't really began playing much of the post-game, I do hope we get to at least see Blue Eyes and Red Eyes again.

    Yay, It's just too fun to abuse the Ranger Signs, especially the ones for the Legendary Beasts. Wait until you get Entei, I personally think its dash ability is much quicker then Raikou's jumping.


    BTW, I'll be finishing up my story of the game today. Sorry for the delay but I got busy.

    The Eyes appear in post-game quests. What they do I don't know though.

    Well time to finish the game's story... and then some!



    ***SPOILER***



    And with that ends the ending, post-ending, and beginning past missions of the game! Well it was nice while it lasted, but then again I still have all the Past Missions to do as well as all the Quests I need to complete which brings up the following question:


    Should I keep on going describing the Quests and Past Missions or are you quite down hearing me joke and complain about the game already?


    And with that question now ask, seeya till next time!

    Well I beat the main part of the game. Saved and stopped right after Rand and Leanne leave for their conference. Man those Steelheads are annoying in the Sky Fortress. How do you access the past missions anyway?

    Just go to Celebi's Shrine and tap on it, it'll ask if you'll want to go to the past or not.

    Well, just defeated Red Eyes and now need to save Leanne and Nema


    Ugh, Suicune has a useful ability, but his Sign is annoying to draw.

    Well, time to bring the fight to the Sky Fortress and save the world, blah blah blah


    Now, I can accept a lot of things. I can stomach a lot of puns. But seriously, the SocieTEA? I can't tell if that's dumber than Tea Party or better.

    Gah Mewtwo was a pain. I almost was killed by the stupid thing. But I won and now I get to bask in my victory. After I get all the other Legendaries of course


    Well overall, it's a great game, but if I had to nitpick, the choice of bosses was poor at some point [DITTO as one of the final bosses? Seriously?], and the game'sa bit too easy, or maybe that's because I'm just a veteran by now

    Ugh, I never died, but it kept shattering my Capture Line.


    Regigigas was also really horrible. Mainly because it shattered the line whenever it took a step.
