Okay, another day, another suggestion, maybe this one dont look as something important for regular players, but in my opinion the game menu need a rebuild, or at least some several changes. So first the image, and after explained all the points. Point by point with description why, where, when and how much: Removable / editable icons - The only way to change this icons from the menu is patching the rom (Darkshade confirmed me this), so for example if somebody is doing a new thematic based GUI for the game (idk, unicorns?) and want change this icons, he can't... so why just not doing a option to disable / change the icons on the menu, also disabling the icons mean save some space on the screen, you know, i care about small devices. Remove Clock - About this one i talked here (idk why was trashed, but anyways), this clock is so useless, if we have 2 clocks right now, one in the top left corner and other in the menu bar, at least put some good feature for it, weather pronostic in our location? Move Entrys (like in the image) - The trainer and pokedex button is not very used, and both accesible with keyboard shortcuts, so why dont putting it on the menu site, and more important entrys (like change channel at least, very used) to the bar. I know the social and team have shortcuts too, but something must be on the bar, and social / team is more used than trainer / pokedex. Online Count - Well this one maybe is not very important, but a number of people online displayed on the buttons looks good, and is fast way to check, if we have any friend online on the game. The mailbox is planned so i added it to the mockup, if somebody ask me why is here. So i think is enough for now, if i have some other idea, will add it here, awaiting for opinion, and stay tuned for tomorrow suggestion ;)

emlee this is so gay

curse banned WTF? time to leave and play a more serious game. Tytar is almost unstoppable and isnt banned from 100s. Now snorlax will have to run from a blissey that is stupid, thanks guys for take decisions based on smogon which has nothing to do with gen 3 and unbalance this great game.

That's exactly why I'm here.

I drew a picture of my trainer. The offer still stands.

Was looking for some suggestion like that (i practically live in suggestion box's table of content right now, and dont found any). The simple idea for adding tabs to the social list, for organizing our friends. How should be looking: Tabs with custom names (in this case for example Favorites or Traders) where u put you contacts. I dont see any cons for this, and if somebody have a lot of members and dont remember who is which one (for example u save some trader, and 3 days after u dont remember who is this guy), this is a pretty simple way to clear view of the contacts. I think nothing more to add, Discuss / Opinions please.

Emlee and barrage...go rent a hotel room you t- OH GOD BULBASAUR, WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THOSE VINES DEAR GOD NO

Reminder.

Banned Pokemon: Tyranitar Dragonite - The use of Curse by Snorlax is banned. I thought we were playing gen 3. This game is going in the wrong side, how a move can be banned coz two person dont like it. Even looking at the discusion thread i saw more people disagree with that ban. Well i think next time ill try to make friends which have a unoficial pinned thread, so if i dont like anything ill convince them to ban something. Im not a big fan of curse, I just don't like the way which the decision was taken.

I CANNNN0T USE MY SNORLAXXX FOR THIS T0URNAMENT IM NOT INVITED TO WTFFFF MAN!??!???!?

Microwaves and how they ruin the taste of everything. cough hint

Haven't seen them mentioned yet, but the discworld series by Terry Pratchett is phenomenal (as is everything else he's ever written or touched). He's also got a fantastic book with Neil Gaimen called "Good Omens" that I simply cannot recommend enough.

Here you go [spoiler] [/spoiler]

This sounds like a pretty good idea. Since I've been playing for a while and amassed quite a list, I tend to forget who is who and end up deleting people that I otherwise wouldn't have when my list fills up. This would make cleaning up friend lists considerably easier - the "actual friends" stay and the "traders and randoms" would probably be the first to go.

think a little bit before comment

I don't know what kind of snorlax you run bro, a special attacking one?

[font='comic sans ms']Hello, my name is Tetz and this story is a interpretation of the main character getting a villa for free in the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum versions of Pokemon.[/font] [font='comic sans ms']If you don't know what those are, please don't ask and just use google or something like that.[/font] [font='comic sans ms']Due to the length of the story, and to save space, I'm going to post this in chapters. [/font] [font='comic sans ms']So sit back, and enjoy the story as I present....[/font] [font='times new roman']The Villa's Curse[/font] Prologue - Chapter 3 [font='comic sans ms'][spoiler][/font][font='comic sans ms'] [/font] [font=georgia]Prologue[/font] [font='comic sans ms']An old man stumbled out of a house, in the middle of the night, with an mixed look of terror and anger on his face. After he got an ideal distance away from the house, the old man turned back and yelled, "I'm done being your prisoner! I've lived too long to be anyone's lap dog!" A woman's voice, laden with sorrow answered him, "But we've been together...... for so long.... Please.... don't leave us....." The response only made the man even angrier. "No! I've had enough of your games! To hell with you!", he cried. Unbeknownst to the man, two shadows began to form at his feet, and they were steadily rising higher. "Then, to the depths of eternal darkness you shall go! Join your loved ones in everlasting torment!", the voice from the house boomed. As the man began to form a response, the shadows finished growing. They were even taller than the old man. It wasn't til too late that he noticed the shadows behind him. "AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!", the man screamed as the shadows enveloped him, leaving the night still once more.[/font] [font=georgia]1[/font] [font='comic sans ms'][/font] It's been 3 years since that night... a night I will remember for many years to come. I need to tell someone what I had witnessed, so that I might find solace in having someone else know this story of mine, and so they too, can avoid the horror of what I witnessed. My name is Colby, and I'm from Fortree City in the Hoenn region. Ever since I was 15, I've been traveling around the world. The region that caught my attention the most was the Sinnoh region. [font='comic sans ms'] I never expected to behold the wonders Sinnoh held from the first steps I took there. From Lake Acuity, to Mt. Coronet, to Snowpoint City, and back, I defeated all the gyms and the Sinnoh league. I didn't accept the championship, however, because I wanted to explore all the other regions in the world.[/font] [font='comic sans ms']I had returned to Twinleaf Town after a long journey. I was staying with a friend of mine named Lucas at the time. He challenged the Sinnoh league with me, but was the runner-up. Since I declined the championship, Lucas got it by default. After I announced I was returning home for a break, he told me of the Battle Area. It was an island off the east coast of Sinnoh that was home to exotic Pokemon, strong Trainers, and even a Battle Frontier like from back home! After making some arrangements, Lucas and I decided to go to the Battle Area and explore it for ourselves.[/font] [font=georgia]2[/font] [font='comic sans ms']In order to get to the Battle Area., we took a boat from Snowpoint City. During the ride, Lucas told me of the four areas the made up the island: the Fight Area, the Survival Area, Mt. Stark, and the Resort Area. He also told me in-depth of each area and what they held for Trainers. [/font][font='comic sans ms']We decided to give the Fight Area a try first, since it had the Battle Frontier. After some failed attempts at the Battle Tower, it was break time for me. I was never one to be that active, as I only beat Lucas because of a technicality during the Sinnoh League tournament. Lucas, however was more stubborn and wanted to stay and challenge the Battle Factory for another day or two, while I decided to go to the Resort Area for some R&R. Oh, how I would regret that choice....[/font] [font=georgia]3[/font] [font='comic sans ms']After surfing on my Lapras for 6 hours, we finally made it to the Resort Area. They had so many neat shops, spas, and cafes, my mind went numb from the sheer exposure to it. My Pokemon and I had a day of fun and relaxation, they deserved it for all the hard work they do for me. It wasn't until the next day my trip took a turn for the worst. [/font] [font='comic sans ms']I was by the pool outside a hotel I was staying at, when a man walked up to me. He was a slightly large man with light brown eyes, blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, and he had a designer suit on. [/font][font='comic sans ms']At a first glance, I could tell he was rich from his posture and way of speaking. Yet, he had an aura of depression and a look on his face that screamed desperate. He asked me to come with him, for he had a proposition for me. [/spoiler][/font]

^This is actually my favorite book series. Read the whole Ender and Bean series obsessively a couple years ago. Can't wait for Card to finish the final book that is supposed to wrap up the two series. I guess I'm kind of avid reader. I read mostly anything but I like mostly sci-fi. Been reading Star Wars books a lot lately. Finished two of the Star Wars Old Republic books this week, they were aight. When I get my fill of that, I plan on reading Game of Thrones. <:

Morrowind is the greatest game of all time in my opinion Daggerfall is fantastic. Imagine Daggerfall on a modern engine? Game of the Century

Why did Mario have a brown shirt and red overalls in the NES Super Mario Bros when he has blue overalls and red shirt? Why is Terra Brandford from FF6 depicted having green hair in-game but in all the official sketches she has blonde hair? Two reasons: 1) To stand out and 2) Graphic limitations.

Chapter 10-End [spoiler] 10 The nightmare started off as always, the apparition calling to me, the shadows devouring said apparition, and those horrible white eyes.... until it got to the voice. "We've been waiting for you.....", the same dark voice greeted me. "Come back to us in your house.... and we will finish what we started with your friend!" That set me off. No one messes with me, and no one definitely messes with my friends. "What do you want you bastard?", I yelled. "Why are you messing with me after all these years?" Those eyes only stared back with only one response: "Return, and you will know all....." The shadows got brighter, until I awoke on the couch next to Lucas's bed. The next morning, Lucas was picked up by his parents, and they returned to Twinleaf Town. But, before they left, I had to talk to Lucas. "Don't worry. I'll get whoever did this to you.", I told my friend. "Dude, relax, I'll be fine. Just don't get in over your head.", Lucas reassured me. And with that, he was gone. I turned my attention towards the villa. It was time to end this crap once and for all. I opened the door, and to my dismay, everything was exactly where it was. Except, the bookcase was back in its proper position, books and all. "Come out and face me! I'm right here!", I exclaimed. I was tired of these games, and I was going to go to town on whoever was messing with me. There was no response. The house was silent as always. It figured, what was I expecting? Someone jumping over the couch yelling surprise? I sat on the couch to think this over, but as I did, a wave of exhaustion flew over me. "Wha-", was all I could say before I blacked out. 11 When I came to, it was already night. You could tell just by looking out the window. I looked up at a clock posted over the window that read 9:00 pm. I was wondering what happened, when all of a sudden, that grainy voice came from behind me. "Hello, child. We've been waiting for you!", it said. I spun around and I came face-to-face with a Banette. "What the hell? How can you talk? And where'd you come from?", I yelled. It didn't answer, only just floating there, eyeing me with those creepy eyes it had. "You really don't remember us?", a female voice said. The shape of another Banette came out. This one was slightly different, with a bow attached to its head and smaller body, showing its difference from the male Banette that first appeared. "No, how should I remember two Banette I've never seen before?", I responded. But, there was something vaguely familiar about them.... "Then allow us to shed some light!", the male Banette shouted. It moved it's arms, and I was swept away from the house to a familiar scene. The Banette had taken me to my childhood home back in Fortree City. "What does this have to do with anything?", I asked. The Banette just floated there, apparently not feeling chatty at the moment. I figured there wasn't any choice, and just watched the scene play before me. The door burst open, with a young boy and girl holding two stuffed animals running in, followed by their parents. I was shocked, because the little boy was me, and the girl was my twin sister who had recently passed away.We had to euthanize her because of all the pain she was expeirencing during her nightmares, the same kind that I used to have. Except these nightmares didn't come til her 14th birthday. Every night, we'd hear her scream, and it was always the same thing: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please don't kill me!". She used to say that, moment after moment, until we finally stopped her from thrashing and we were able to wake her up. Our parents tried the same method they used on me, but it worked to no avail. We had no choice but to let her go, we couldn't stand to see her in such pain. It devastated all of us, especially her Gardevoir. It disappeared right after the funeral. I couldn't remember the last time my sister wasn't in agony, yet, here she was, happy and carefree, just as she used to be.... My sister and I both sat on the floor, playing with the new Pokedolls our parents bought from Lilycove. "Mine's better!", my younger self yelled triumphantly, holding his Mudkip toy above his head. "No, mine's better", my sister yelled back, shoving her Roselia right back in my face. The scene then progressed to times we were playing with the stuffed toys, up until the point to where I had gotten an actual Mudkip at my 10th birthday. I know, because I can never forget that feeling. My sister had received hers earlier, due to it actually showing up at our doorstep. It was a Ralts, which was attracted to my sister's happy personality. Those two were inseparable, and they continued to be friends, even when my sister and I both became Trainers. The scene then progressed to me cleaning out my room. I had my Mudkip doll, and tossed it in a bag, with no second thoughts at all, with my sister throwing her Pokedoll away as well. The bags were going to be donated to a local orphanage, but the truck that was taking them hit a bump. The bags fell out of the truck bed, and out into the woods. The fall had ripped the bag apart, leaving the toys sprawled out on the ground. Seasons passed, and the dolls took an ominous glow. They floated up and transformed into two Banette. Suddenly it all made sense. I remembered what the Pokedex had said about Banette, and how they were toys that came to life to hunt down the children that abandoned them. That's why those Banette were so hostile towards me. "You both abandoned us, left us to rot in the wilderness!", the male Banette cried with anger. "We waited so long.... but you never came to get us.....", said the female Banette sadly. "That is why you must pay!" 12 "Wait! My sister and I never abandoned you! You were on a truck heading for someone else who needed you more! If we knew, we would've rescued you two....", I argued. "It doesn't matter! All that matters now is our revenge!", the male Banette bellowed. "I have one question before you have your petty vengeance. How'd you guys get here?", I asked. The Banettes looked at each other for a moment, and they turned back to me. "Very well.", the female Banette said. "Behold what transpired!" Another scene opened up before my eyes. The toys were still in the ditch, when a car that was passing by began to slow down, right to a stop next to the ditch. As the car door opened, a certain older fellow stepped out. It was Tom Wellingham III. He walked into the ditch and found the toys. "My, my. Such a waste of good toys. My grandchildren will love these.", Tom said. Then I watched the toys' journey from Hoenn to Sinnoh, straight up until they got to the villa. At this point the Pokedolls were freshly cleaned, just like they came out of the box. As Tom marched up the steps, the door to the house burst open. Two children, both girls, popped out and ran to hug the old man. "Did you bring us something Grandpa?", one of the girls said with excitement. "Oh, yes, but it's a surprise!", Tom said. When they were inside, Tom pulled out the Mudkip and Roselia dolls. Both girls squealed with delight at the sight of those two toys. "Thank you, Grandpa!", they both said at once. The scene once again made a time lapse, but instead of happy times, those two girls began to have nightmares, just like the ones my sister had. Their lives were snuffed out much quicker, due to their young ages. "We decided to never trust humans again.", the male Banette said. "These two young ones were no exception.", the female Banette fininshed. The scene apalled me. These horrible beings wouldn't stop, not until their vengeance was complete. Before I could protest, the scene showed the old man crouching, his eyse full of tears. "Why..... they were the only ones I had left..... why....", Tom said, his voice full of sadness. The two Pokedolls began to stir, transforming themselves into Banette once more. "It was our will, that is why. If you value your life, you will do our bidding.", the female Banette said to Tom. "I have nothing left in this world.... I will never do a thing you say!", Tom shouted. He ran out of the bedroom, attempting to commit suicide by jumping off of the rail of the steps. "No, you haven't outlived your usefulness, not yet.", the male Banette said. It held out one of it's arms, stopped Tom midjump, and pulled him back. Another time lapse showed Tom doing things for the Banette, like keeping tabs on me and my sister, getting help to keep the house, and other grueling tasks, all done to torture Tom for years, up until Tom had found a way to escape. The Banette were away, on some other business, or so it seemed. He managed to get out of the house, but he was caught up in shadows, until they engulfed him, making him vanish into thin air. If it could, my jaw would've hit the floor from all the things I had witnessed. The scene wasn't finished, though. It shifted to Tom meeting me by the pool. Except, it was just an illusion the Banette had conjured up to get me into the house. Next, the vision showed me something I already suspected. It was a scene showing the Banette shoving the bookcase on Lucas. Seeing that again made me snap. "ENOUGH!", I exclaimed. I had it with these freaks. They needed to be stopped, and only I could do it. "Accept your fate!", the Banettes cried in unison. "PERISH FOREVER IN DARKNESS!!" Both Banette's readied a gigantic Shadow Ball, intended for me. I reached for my Pokemon, only to find that they were missing. "F#%@!", I swore. The Banette's fired their attack when I turned to look up them. I shielded my eyes, waiting for the impact. "This is it, sis. I'll be seeing you....", I said, right as the Shadow ball hurtled towards me. 13 I braced myself for the oncoming attack, but it never came. I opened my eyes, and put my arms down, only to find myself floating in an expanse of white light. A female's voice called out to me from behind. I turned to see my sister, dressed as she was before her nightmares started. "Looks like you're in quite the predicament.", my sister said smugly. "Yeah, it seems so...", I said, smiling weakly. "Now you know what happened to me. Those #$@*- eaters were the reason I had those nightmares.", my sister said. "I kinda figured so.", I said. "So am I dead, or what?" "Are you seeing any pearly gates?", my sister said. "No, I just came to give you a hand." "But, how?", I asked. "Your dead, what could you do?", I asked. "Open your eyes, smartass.", she said, with a grin on her face. I did exactly that, only to see the Shadow Ball being blocked by a Protect attack. And, behind that Protect was a Gardevoir, my sister's Gardevoir to be exact. "Ooooohhhhh..... that's how....", I said feeling relief wash over me. "Thanks for the save.", I said to the Gardevoir. "Don't get relaxed just yet!", the Gardevoir said, making me jump nearly five feet. "I can only hold it back for so long. You must find the Banette's vessels, and burn them, or they will continue to torment you." "What do you mean by vessels?", I asked. "I mean the form they once had. In other words, the toys you and your sister once had.", the Gardevoir said with urgency. "Alright, I'm on it!", I yelled. I ran past Gardevoir to look around for those damn toys. "We won't let you get away!", the male Banette bellowed. It started to give chase, but was blocked by a barrier. "What!?", the male Banette said with shock. "Not so fast!", Gardevoir yelled, taunting the Banette. Meanwhile, I searched for the toys high and low, until the only room left was the one upstairs. I ran up the stairs as fast as I could, until I reached the doorway. Sitting on top of the bedframe were the familiar Mudkip and Roselia dolls my sister and I had treasured once upon a time. On the bed were my Pokeballs, all six in a neat little circle. "Sweet, now time to burn these toys back to hell!", I yelled, sending out Flygon and making it use Flamethrower on the Pokedolls. I watched them burn, hearing hi-pitched screaming from below, but I didn't care to look down and watch. I already knew what was happening. The new wallpaper started fading, revealing what the house truly was: an old and, decrepit skeleton of the house it once was. The house started to catch fire from the now thoroughly burnt toys on the bed frame. "Time to go.", I said as I got on Flygon, bursting out the window to the left of the room. I saw Gardevoir in front of the house, looking up at me. I made Flygon land next to Gardevoir. "It's finally over...", the Gardevoir said with a sigh of relief. "Yeah...", I said looking up at the night sky. "Sis, thanks for the help. I might not get to see you tonight, but I will someday...". Gardevoir looked at me, and said, "Your sister says to shut up, and quit being so dang sentimental. She also said that she'll always have your back and to live on." "Heh, heh, heh.... Ok. I'll do just that.", I said with a tear in my eye. I hastily wiped it away. I am a dude you know. I turned toward Gradevoir, and said: "So what do you do now?", I asked. "I'll return to your sister now. It was nice to see you again, Colby.", Gardevoir said. "Yeah, same to you. Tell Sis I said hi.", I said. Gardevoir smiled, then started to vanish from sight once again. "Let's go bud.", I said to Flygon. It nodded, and we flew back to Twinleaf Town, tired and weary from the night, with the house burning brilliantly in the night. So, that's it. What? You say it wasn't that scary? Well, it doesn't have to be. It all depends on where you're coming from. Huh? T.W.'s warning? Well, I gave it some thought, and I think I know what it meant. Since the Banette wrote it, or maybe they didn't, I think it means not to take what we have for granted too much, or something bad will happen. Whatever you think, it's up to you. I gotta go now, thanks for listening. THE END [/spoiler]
