"So what's your favorite type?" is like something bugkeeper bimmy in this game would ask, and brendan/may wouldn't even dignify it with a response. as usual 'the code getting too big' in pokemon is one of those things that makes sense on paper until one sees just how many rom hacks made with magic there are that manage to backport most if not all of the 1000 new pokemon and unique generational mechanics (mega evolution, gigantamax, z-moves, AND terrestrialization) together into one 32 MB gba rom. unfortunately a lot of them seem to be designed around masochists who are half playing pokemon ai manipulation and other half playing damage calculator. a few of them have tried axing all of the 'JRPG down time' to some pretty interesting results, Emerald Rogue is a good example (it even has a built-in speedup feature, which is just crazy to think about) at the risk of turning this comment section into a fire emblem flamewar (the engage can of worms is already open anyway, it's inevitable; yes, i'm an engage enjoyer) i'm also going to just throw out there that, as someone who thinks path of radiance is a thoroughly miserable experience in most aspects, the voice acting is incredible and my friend and a shining beacon of light in the darkness which couldn't exist today. i'll also say that the series can and does regularly get much, much worse and more unintuitive than biorhythm; that image might be old enough to drink soon in some countries. FE rom hacks are actually similarly robust and diverse as pokemon rom hacks, and have been able to integrate things like new mechanics and voice acting for well over a decade, so there's a lot of options available that are pretty well-tailored to whatever specific aspects of FE a player might be more or less attuned to. "Pokemblem" is a real thing, exactly what it sounds like, is pretty damn good, and crazy that it exists. basically fire emblem fans are insane if my incoherent rambling didnt already plainly make that obvious
I don't want to play any ROM hacks unless they involve the creator's OC romancing one of the female units. Or any Pokemon ROM hacks without that, for that matter.
Ngl I'm excited to watch the other guy play fire emblem
Our Butterfree adventures continue :]

Around this part of the game i was so tired of playing it that i was just countering everything with wobbufet until i won without any strategy
SPOILERS
That final bit of bad luck and then good luck with Gyrados was amazing.
A weirdly anticlimactic end given everything else that went down.
