Dragon Quill

Bonnibel is still refusing to just walk over the fence. Fine, Bonnibel, be that way. Apparently there’s an area off the red meadow, we’ll go there. (more…)

Well, I’ve beaten the boss of graffiti town and he’s run off somewhere new, and there’s no police force so it’s not like him being gone means anything else here changes. (more…)

And now, at the center, it’s Skull friends!

Gladion, in a move all protagonists should take note of, just puts his head down and runs past instead of going through all that nonsense about eyes meeting. (more…)

I exit the room where I have been so cruelly prevented from using a simple teleporter. I attempt to slide sideways around the event flag, but I only get partway along the house before it triggers anyway. (more…)

I start to explore Poni and hit another cutscene immediately. Lillie is standing near a pair of trainers and their pair of pink pokemon. We closeup on the corsola for some reason. (more…)

Alright, so, to give you an idea of the hole I’ve dug myself into…

My current active-rotation pokemon: (more…)

Last time, I got to actually go into one of the ruins for the first time! Nothing much happens, but still, it’s cool. (more…)

Well, I’ve been informed I can screw around in a desert instead of doing plot, so let’s go! (more…)

The first person when I enter the new area is yet another sketchy criminally guy. Trainers and Pokemon should be free! Freedom is good! Freedom is fundamentally incompatible with the entire trainer structure, buddy. (more…)

Okay, so I head through a gauntlet of trainers. The final one, right before the gate, informs me, The altar is just a little farther, so I can’t let you pass easily. Show me everything you’ve got!

The strength = goodness is just so straightfaced. If you aren’t a good enough trainer, I guess you just don’t deserve to see things! (more…)

So you’ve completed all four of your grand trials. Then go forth to the Pokemon League.

I just want to say, yet again, how utterly disgusted I am by your callous discard of your culture in favor of me-tooing the mainlands’ system. This whole game has been people talking about their glorious traditions and yet when one idiot suggests dumping that all no one else pushes back? (more…)

Kukui: Hey there, Bonnibel! Woo, you’ve come a long way! You’ve made it through all the trials and grand trials that make up the island challenge! Congratulations! (more…)

And, of course, I end up back in my room. Some traditions are forever. (more…)

Alright, so I go back to Aether, again, and back to the labs, again, and this time I hit a cutscene.

Wicke: Bonnibel. Welcome back.

I still have no idea what’s with her. (more…)
