I don't mean learning practical battle strategies or anything.

In this case you can learn to let go. You can learn not to force yourself to always be perfect. You can learn to just enjoy the thrill of the battle. You can learn to handle failure better.

There is a whole lot to learn, and usually we don't see half of it at first glance.

I mean, when you think about it, what's the point in all this if you can't go out there, get dirty and just try everything on your own, even if you get hurt in the process? You have a new experience, you can learn through it.

I couldn't disagree more.

Then you have no room to grow. At all. You have no experience to learn from, no joy of overcoming obstacles. It may be clean. But also kinda dead.

That too! Adding more randomness to it

And nobody is perfect Sky. That's the way it's supposed to be. We can't grow without failing. Failure is necessary to really live.

I'm talking about the meaning behind the title. One of the characters does a title drops and essentially tells Neku what I just told you.

So... About future tournaments...

I think it could be neat if next time we introduced a trade mechanic. Like, after hatching, people can trade, but like only a limited amount of times. Or (or maybe and, you can combine those), in the round-robin part of the tournament, you have to trade one pokemon after battle, no matter what?

That's bad, Sky It's seriously a fantastic game.

The gist is your world ends where you want it to end. It can only expand through opening yourself to others. The size of your world depends on you. So the world begins with you. The world ends with you.

Well, yes, Aerodactyl was my check to it I guess. Still, had you forced it to switch into the SRs only a few times, I'm pretty sure Giga Drain could take it out. And the Aerodactyl is Adamant, so after one Quiver Dance, Volc should outspeed it even if it's Modest. I don't know your full moveset on it, but Bug Buz could probably take out Houndoom after SR damage and with a Quiver up too, since it's neutral...

Oh well. In my eyes, the battle wasn't nearly as one-sided as you experienced it, that's for sure. It is a shame you got 3 fire types on the team, out of which 2 of them had a 4x weakness to stealth rocks. Maybe next time, we could implement a slightly different system to prevent too many of the same typings? Because I really do hope there will be more of these torunaments.

Anyway, good game, and I agree with Fynn. Take a break, then see if you feel like returning later on. I still really think you should. Just... try to learn to enjoy the battles and have fun with them, whatever the outcome. D=

I think we talked about this

There's a lot of time Sky.

And remember. This will sound incredibly corny, but I still think it's accurate

The World Ends With You!
