Yeah... she's a real dick. I think my first few rounds with her had some misfortune concerning the MA skill killing someone important and me basically trying to stay alive before she finished me off at her leisure.
I have the Dragon Mail, which I heard is really good. Thinking of grinding to find the dragon ring. But really, her using Mother's Kiss was a case of bad luck - I can see myself winning with enough tries as long as I use some physical mirrors. I'm still worried about that MA attack I heard so much about that is almighty and has a 100% chance of killing one of your characters, including the MC
Told you she was hard. I think I won on luck to be honest. You need to look for the Plasma Gear, I believe that was the best gear in the game for the MC that isn't locked in NG+
Beat the Mother form, only to be stomped by the Empty form on my first turn. smurf Mother's Kiss, seriously.
Woohoo! Turns out Ama no Murakumo is weaker than the Divine Sword I got from Thoth, what? And anyway, decided I don't want to grind all the way up to 90 because I'd grow tired of this game and I didn't want my memory to be tainted, so I decided to give it a shot at level 80 while using one demon from a password. I decided that, hey, this is exactly why they put that function there - might as well make use of it!
Yeah, she's easily the most difficult MegaTen final boss I've ever encountered. I just ordered Ruby and Pearl off of Amazon. Still need to get back to Blue and start silver though, but I now have the options.
Beat Trumpeter, fused Pale Rider, and got all the ingredients for Ama no Murakumo. Now all I need to do is walk around until I can pick up the weapon, and grind... From level 78 to about 90 to fuse Mother Harlot... I tried taking on MA once. Don't wanna try that anytime soon. I was worried that I fused the Luster Candy out of my available demons, but then I saw that it didn't really matter because she nulls any stat changes anyway.
Who knows? It still kind of influenced the direction Pokemon went after that, so it's hard to say whate they actually think about it.
Seems like Nintendo felt Gen III was the black sheep.
Unlike the Gen III remakes, I actually think the Gen II remakes could make for a good replacement for the regular Gen II games as the story isn't changed too much (just some villains get a bit more personality) and the new stuff implemented to the remakes are, aside from the physical/special split that Gen IV introduced, pretty much unique to it, such as Pokemon walking with you on the field and the Pokeathlon. Additionally, you get access to the Gen IV Battle Frontier, so that's cool. The Gen III remakes not only change things greatly by adding so many elements of Gen VI (super training, Pokemon Amie and affection, mega evolutions, the fairy type), but the story is so altered that it's even confirmed in-universe that it's an AU to the original Gen III games through the mulriverse theory. That said, I enjoyed the Gen III remakes a lot, so if you don't mind the changes, you can go into that, but I know you like to try original versions of games first, so I just wanted to let you know what exactly you'd be going into if you went straight for the remake.
