Can't lose it, I'm the proud owner of a Platinum Angel
Sweet.

Now I wonder if someone could make an edit of Angel (the bunny) to give him a metallic texture.

No. The last thing Angel needs is T-1000 powers.

it just occurred to me that you really can't Discord Maud. What would he have done to break her, make her like flowers instead? [lol]

Make her overly emotional? But then she's just Pinkie.

[up][up]He would just poke her in the head and make here act however he wants her too.

She probably end up being an over emotional manic-depressive.

Newest episode features Luna. Excuse me a moment.

I'm okay.

Thing is, Discord didn't reverse their personalities, he reversed their elements. With Maud, he'd take her greatest virtue and twist it into a flaw. Unfortunately, we don't know her well enough to know what that would be.

That's kinda what I was getting at. Most of the discording has a social aspect to it, Pinkie was hurt by her friends laughing at her instead of with her, Rainbow can't isn't around others because she's not loyal, etc. Maud doesn't really need other ponies to be happy, so if he tried say turning her interest from rocks to flowers, it might not bother her. Or, maybe it could and she's distressed about it.

Her greatest virtue is not getting too worked up about things, maybe?

So probably total apathy or something.

Saw that MLPFIM stuff in Watamote manga, waiting for translation to see what's going on.

I like that idea. (Even if Tomoko will be anti MLPFIM)

Please elaborate.

Turns out that it is possible to beat Brock with a level 7 Bulbasaur. Of course it takes forever and you can easily die if you're unlucky, unlike Squirtle, who 2 hits everyone. On the other hand, Bulbusaur struggles even more than I expected with everything else. I did more grinding than I normally do with Squirtle and it was still tough. The Rocket trainer with the Zubat in Mt Moon is a complete nightmare. So is the one with a Drowzee at the dig house. It's sad when you have to go beat Misty to increase your odds of defeating a simple rocket trainer.

As far as I can tell, Bulbasaur doesn't actually get good until you reach SS Anne and can teach it Body Slam (over twice as good as the moves it learns naturally!!!) and even then, Psychic types are always a huge struggle.

Theory bouncing around in my head: wild mass guessThe episode where Applejack's honesty is tested is where she has to make a very important delivery to a wealthy client outside of Ponyville with the rest of the Mane Six helping. However, Applejack accidentally loses the delivery when it just switched with another package owned by this incredibly weird looking pony/griffon/whatever and does not realize it until after the delivery is made. The rest of the Mane Six immediately believe, knowing full well AJ is the Element of Honesty, but the clients do not as they do not know Applejack on a personal level and outright accuse her of LYING. AJ, of course, is furious that the client would make such an accusation and her stubborn streak prevents her from thinking logically. Thus, the Mane Six are forced to prove AJ's story but finding this weird looking pony/griffon/whatever before the deal becomes a bust.wild mass guess

Well psychics are always a problem in gen 1.

Also, I finally have a team of 6 good Pokemon- Nidoking, Gloom, Pidgeotto, Hypno, Vaporeon and Snorlax.

Well, there aren't many episodes left for that to happen, and the next one with her involves those Flim Flam boys.

Given the summary states she's skeptical of their claims, it's likely that's her key episode, as most of the town is probably going to be taken with them again with AJ in the minority.

@J Teeth: Maybe. Or he would make her act in a way that he personally found funny. I doubt it really matters, and I doubt he's limited to just reversing real or perceived virtues.

Yeah, but having your main be weak against them makes everything much, much worse. I'm thinking of training Lapras up to be my main instead. Think it's worth teaching Lapras Thunderbolt?

@Marcen: It's right up there with The Rock. She liked it, but she would have preferred Dwayne Johnson in the role.

@Star I've always wanted to be in a Brony meetup. (pulls out Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash plushies) Ditzy college girls, huh...I don't know anything about that but good luck, man. As for the music video idea, watch tons of music videos to get SOME idea...that's all I got.

@Keg And her favorite song is "Rock You Like A Hurricane".
