A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Dark: I think that's because society as a whole tends to view facing adversity as nothing special. The whole attitude of "tough it out" and how bringing it up is often dismissed as whining in an attempt to attract sympathy. The Complainer Is Always Wrong being played totally straight in real life, essentially.

"Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned about how respecting friends' opinions is a big part in keeping friends. We have all been there: that one person in the room that we just can't agree with, and it piques our interest in a very negative way. We want to argue and fight, and force our opinion on them. We want to make them see what we see. But this type of debating is neither healthy nor effective. When you try to force your opinion on someone else, you are doing the exact opposite of what you should. Instead of trying to convince them you are right, or that they are wrong, try stepping into their shoes first. Try to think from their point of view. Who knows, you may learn something by listening in earnest to an opposing view. You may even discover that your opinion is not as good as we thought, and that it is time for us to change and expand your horizons
Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"
TL;DR version: "Dear Princess Horse: Our opinions aren't perfect, and we should listen to others. From Twilight"
Way back in these posts
- there has been a glitch in the thread code. It's been reported to the admin for fixing.
For a second when I saw the mod hat, I thought they found out our evil plans.

Bug this was just addressing a bug in the code that more than likely impacted a wide array of threads. It's nice to have communication when it comes to these sorts of things.

Reaction Image RepositorySigh... updating nuzlocke again.
Grinded Sparda, to bring him to to speed. That was extremely annoying, enemy Meowths just kept critting Pay Day, halving his health. And I was grinding in a wrong route, the one without the Oddishes. So that went for a long-ass time. But I brought Sparda up to speed still.
Then I went to Pokemon Tower to smash Sky again. Oh look, his Raticate is dead. Like I care.
The battle - Slash beat up his Pidgeotto, Bass dropped the bass on Gyarados, Sparda burned the eggs and then dealt with Kadabra as well(though Kadabra disabled Bite somehow), Gaia tortured Charmeleon again.
I found the Eevee. Impish and male, I named it Vergil. He became a Vaporeon. In light of Wryte's extensive post on strategy I replaced Gaia with Vergil. Also used Water Pulse TM on him and grinded him up to speed as well. Then, the Oddishes were the trouble with their constant paralysis, sleep, and poison. And then I had to bench Vergil anyway so Goldie the HM Slave could cut its way into the gym. They kept calling me a fake girl. I kept calling them ashes. Facts were on my side.
One of gym trainers paralyzed Sparda and kept whailing on it, also used a potion. Bitch.
Battle with Erika went like this - Victiribell got Sparda paralyzed, but Sparda kept on and killed it anyway with a couple embers. Tangela poisoned Slash, who still murdered it with wing attacks and then killed the subsequent enemy Vileplume as well while still being poisoned.
Rocket hideout was an easy clear.
Giovanni - Vergil washed away Onix, Roosevelt giga drained Rhyhorn, Kangaskgan was defeated in two Karate Chops from Hoggs, but not before having its health with Mega Punch... scary.
I went back to Pokemon Tower, first pokemon encountered was Gastly. Sleep powder + leech seed routine got sabotaged by the thing's own Curse, the suicidal dolt left itself with 1 HP. I caught it away and named the emo thing Suffering.
Marowak got stomped on by Vergil. The only other trouble was that some rocket grunt's Koffing exploded on Hoggs, leaving Hoggs with 1 HP. And Bass became an Electrode in the tower as well.
Now I actually got enough money to just BUY a TM from the game corner. I struggled between Flamethrower for Sparda or Ice Beam for Vergil... and bought the Ice Beam. Didn't teach the beam to it yet... it might... not survive...
Then I went all the way back to get a bike, while feeding some calcium to Bass. With Pokeflute, I tried to catch route 16 Snorlax, but he kept breaking instantly even at 1 hp and asleep, so he died to leech seed. Got the tea to calm the guards, reached Saffron.
Also got the HM Fly from a "secret retreat" and taught it to Slash. Roosevelt became a Venusaur.
Then I went to Route 17...
Weezings. Damn, damn, damn Weezings. I used Vergil to deal with them first, but he got severely damaged and poisoned so I switched Hoggs in to finish a Weezing off(red hp and all). The Weezing not only survived, a Sludge crit killed Hoggs...
Brought Gaia back in his place.
Slash. My poor bird, he kept getting down to 1-3 HP from all these Machamps, just barely taking them on. I switched Sparda in to save him, trying to use Intimidate and fairly high attack to finish a Machoke, but Vital Throw crit and got Sparda...
On top of that, I failed to catch the pokemon there, Roosevelt critted the Fearow and killed it...
Everything I touch dies!
I cleared the Route 17... reachd Fuscha, let Bass bully some bird keepers on the way and caught a Fearow this time. Aceria, a female quirky type. I used Fly to get back to Saffron. I needed a replacement fighter, so I went to the fake fighting gym.
A Machop, of all things, survived a Fly and used Revenge on Slash, killing him. On top of that, I had to fight another trainer after that. Roosevelt carried me out of there just barely.
I need a new flyer... and something to deal with all these fighers and poisons... so I brought Aceria and Suffering out of the box, gonna grind them later. But after that...
I don't know what do I do...
My team so far:
- Gaia, lv33 Dugtrio
- Bass, lv34 Electrode
- Roosevelt, lv34 Venusaur
- Vergil, lv33 Vaporeon
- Aceria, lv25 Fearow
- Suffering, lv14 Gastly
There is also another thing. I can't get a Gengar without hacking the rom. I know how to hack the rom, but should I? Is it allowed?
The sparkle is gone, see me shimmer on~

@Blissey: Personally, I think that the following quote is mandatory for that animation there.
'YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, ALL TOASTERS TOAST TOAST!'
