Think I've about settled on starting with Litten after all.

Good taste.

I just ordered Sun. X) I'm jelly EU have to wait a bit longer, but that does work out good for me timing wise at least.

Also, apologies to #TeamMoon for defecting, but that 12 hour difference thing is too much to ignore. Evening play and real time sundown was always a thing I loved in Pokemon games. Kinda relaxing. Sun-up instead... not so much.

That and I'm too lazy to mess with the clock back and forth.

Good, good, Amaterasu is pleased at all these Sun converts.

Thanks for the Volcanion.

Take that Gamestop.

I beat the game yesterday, but I'm not that sure on the difficulty. I was always a decent level higher than most opponents, but the stat buffs the totem pokemon get almost made us equal. I can definitely say I used more items than any other pokemon game I had played for the bosses. Though, at the same time, I never had to buy items other than various types of pokeballs. In other words, the NPCs give you more than enough items. I also did a drastically different team setup than usual with my pokemon, so who knows. I can say you will have fun with this. It goes back to basics in the best way possible in terms of storytelling. It mixes the simplicity of villainy from generation one and the complexity of insane villains from later titles. Lastly, there are many things to do post game.

I grabbed the other Volcanion and the Genesect.

There is an area called the battle tree that works similar to the battle maison in X&Y.
