"Drifloon is found today at the Windworks near Floraroma. It's in the low 20's."
I couldn't read this.

You can understand Physics, but you can't understand the location and level of a Pokemon?
You confuse me sometimes, Avi.

I'm talking about actually reading it... See, it was confusing. I don't know what a drifloon is, so I attempted to rationalize it by inserting a T somewhere. I kept going, but my self-esteem was low. I saw 'Windworks' as a word with too many double-Us, and once I got up to Floraroma, it was all over.

Drifloon is just another badly-mangled Pokemon name. It's a Ghost/Flying hybrid.
Windworks is just a waterworks with windmills instead of water. Duh.
Floraroma is a town with "flora" and "armoa" mixed in.
Therefore, if you go to the Windworks which is located near Floraroma on a Friday, you will find a Drifloon there awaiting your presence.

The completely horrible lack of fire and grass pokemon in this game, really pains me inside.... almost as much as the completly unnecessary abundance of water and fighting type pokemon.
Every god damned trainer has either a water, flying, or fighting type pokemon. Which makes it almost impossible to level up my graveler, the bug and the fire bird whos names I don't remember, or the penguin....
Also, I totally caught Dialga with only two ultra balls.

Yeah, the only Fire types that were added in DP were the Chimchar line, Magmortar, and the legendary Heatran. A whole lotta nothing. And the only semi-worthwhile Grass type before the National Dex is Roserade, but you have to go through the whole sucking phase with Budew and get it happy enough to evolve. Even then, there are a lot better Grass types like Venusaur and Leafeon.
I still do not get why Nintendo is so dedicated to having one trainer who has a team of six Magikarps with nothing but Splash in EVERY SINGLE FRIKKIN GAME. It's Magikarp, or Magikrap as it should be called. It is completely useless. Even Gyrados isn't too great. A single Thunderbolt kills him. Even a strong Grass attack woud probably wipe the floor with him.
I caught Palkia with just one Dusk Ball. It's been proven thet they are really easy to catch, probably because you have to fight them to proceed to story along. Kyogre and Groudon from RSE were a pain even at level 4, but Palkia and Dialga are easy. They did it so the larva would have easy acess to something strong.
Oh, and I have given up on my Empoleon. He wasn't too great. His Ground and Fighting weaknesses did little to help him, even though he's resistant to pretty much everything else. Blastoise has taken his place, just like old times. He was my first ever Pokemon way back when I played Blue (well, Squirtle was, but it's close). In fact, none of the five I used pre-National Dex are on my team anymore. The other four were swapped out for Umbreon, Ninetails, Rotom (a new Electric/Ghost type), and Hitmontop. And Leafeon is still around; he's always been the only 100% Confirmed member of my team ever since I decided to not pick Turtwig.

Okay, to appease the Curly Haired Bandit, I shall divulge Odin Sphere info here for him to view if he so chooses.
Odin Sphere harkens back to the old school 2D sidescrolling games, but incorporates RPG and fighting elements. You go around on a looping battlefield killing stuff as you go, then proceed to the next stage of the level, and so on until you encounter the boss. Stages are ranked from 1 to 5 Stars, which shows how hard the foes in each are. Shops shows up in the form of traveling merchants, and you can Synthsize items to help you in battle like healing potions and explosive goodies. You'll usually see a few scenes, go to the level to kill stuff, see another scene, fight the boss, and see another scene per chapter. in case I forgot to mention it, Odin Sphere is less real than normal games, since it all takes place in books read by a little girl, each one detailing the exploits of one of five characters:
Gwendolyn the Valkyrie and daughter of Demon Lord Odin. Fights with a spear. Cornelius the transfigured prince. Fights with a sword. Mercedes the new fairy queen. Fights with a crossbow. Oswald the typical dark power-infused guy (always one in every game). Fights with a short sword. Velvet the lone survivor of a kingdom that was mysteriously destroyed in one day. Fights with a chain.
You play as them in that order, and learn the reasons behind their actions and why they participate in a worldwide war over an item called the Cyrstalization Cauldron.
What's interesting is that you don't level up persay. Your HP and weapon's strength increase, but nothing else. When you slay foes, little orbs called Phozons are released from their corpses. By absorbing them, you gain Exp. for your weapon. But you can opt to plant seeds which require Phozons to grow instead. With enough Phozons, the plant grows and produces fruit, which you can eat to heal HP and gain Exp. for your HP. So you really have to decide what's more important, health or power.

It isn't all that hard to use the same button to attack and defend. And only Gwendolyn and Corenlius can defend at all, since Gwendolyn has a shield and Cornelius' sword is the same size as his body. (he's just short, he doesn't suffer from Giant Sword And Spikey Hair Syndrome (GSASH)) You can't really defend with a chain or bow, and a short sword is, well, short.

Brian, battle next meeting if there's time? I won't use my level 73 Leafeon and possibly my level 60 Mismagius, just so the fight is more fair. Afterall, you still have yet to fight the Elite 4. You'd only have to put up with a 50 Blastoise, 47 Hitmontop, 57 Umbreon, and a newly raised Ninetails (ditched Magmortar).

Hey, I've got a brilliant idea - why don't we talk about games that aren't Pokeman?
Anyway, Final Fantasy X-2. Just beat it, and it actually wasn't that terrible. It actually described the very, very last scene of X, along with providing a healthy dose of nostalgia. Only complaints are that some of the moments were way too kitschy and overall, it was too easy. But after beating FFXII and Tactics, RPGs in general seem easy...
