Technically he's already in it since the Mii-smash contender was announced. Just load up a Reggie mii on your wii u/3ds and you got a mii that is Reggie.

He doesn't need anything more. Save the final character spaces for Captain Falcon, Ness, and/or Jigglypuff for a return.

There was one point where I had a knife to my chest, ready to plunge into where (I thought) my heart was. I was only like 8 or 9, and it was because I was being told to buzz off from my close friends and cousins. I had wanted to play and they called me hurtful things. I went up to them, showed them the knife and claimed I was going to kill myself. They stopped me, yelled and told my mother, who laid seemed ready to cry while telling me never to do that again. I don't consider that a serious attempt, but it was the closest I had ever come to actually doing it.

In middle school is where I seriously contemplated it. I don't like to even think about middle school these days, because it was probably the most harsh and depressing time I had in my life. However, every time I considered actually doing it (and how easy I could do it too; a cup of coffee could potentially kill me thanks to a heart condition I have), I thought of my parents and just couldn't do it. I then made a vow that I would only kill myself when there was not a single person left that I know whom cares about me.

I knew at that time, that it's probably near impossible for me to be without at least one person whom cares about me, since I have a large family, had a dog at the time, and at least my cousins care about me, several younger and in good health. Nowadays, I also have friends online whom I know care for me, and made many friends.

Today, I'm wanting to live, quite a lot. No matter how down things get, there is too many things I want to do before I die, that I shove the idea of suicide out of mind. In fact, death frightens me quite a bit, because of how hurt I know some people will be.

Just wanted to post for two reasons. One, this contest has passed its deadline by quite a bit now, probably could use some sort of resolution, and two, I'm bowing out on my entry, mainly because I rather see the vizzed go to someone that needs it. (Got all that I care about with vizz already )

I'm of the belief that anyone can be racist to anyone, even to one's own race, and I do think it was a racist comment your dad's friend made on twitter.

However, I did want to let you know a few things about what I picked up on your reasoning. You claim one cannot be racist because they have friends with other races, or happen to be part of an ethnic group. That's... not true at all. You can be racist, yet still be friends with or are part of an ethnic group. Usually, it's a case of hypocrisy.

I also want to bring up the fact that while the dictionary of today defines racism as a prejudice and/or discrimination of a person based on race, there are others today who believe that for one to be racist, they must have the power to oppress someone. Under that line of thinking, many believe that it is impossible to be racist to white/Caucasian people because they have never been oppressed and have a longer history of oppression against others (also why whites aren't considered minorities).

I don't necessarily agree with that, but I also don't entirely dismiss it. I can see where they come from when saying that, but believe oppress and racism are not linked. In other words, I can agree that you cannot really oppress white people, but disagree with being unable to be racist to them.

A fun note,many of those with the line of thinking of "impossible to be racist to white people," also believe it is impossible to be sexist to men. Food for thought!

supercool22 : That's... a bad idea really. :X Some name combinations could have over hundreds of words. i nfact, check my post now, I edited in some more words and I have many more I could do.

Yeah, I agree that Missingno should have become an official pokemon. It'd make a great plot point for a future game! Missingno could be the legendary pokemon glitching up the world. It came from Cinnabar Island's computer lab as a glitch, and found its way out via Porygon (or insert another digital pokemon). Now it's wreaking havoc on the world!

One can dream, eh?

As for the topic at hand, I do think choosing whatever pokemon you wanted in a main game would be too abusive. I'd leave that to hacks instead. That said, if I were given that opportunity, I'd probably choose chansey/happiny just because I like healer-type pokemon. If they don't start with attacks, though, maybe I'll switch to Miltank. It's rare for me to have one of these pokemon in a normal play through (usually get them too late).

EDIT: I'm dropping out of this competition, feel the Viz could go to some more deserving people.

Decided to go with a less condensed version to show off more details. I'm a little surprised how "democratic" I lean, considering how I answered some questions, but I'm also not that far from Green Tea Party either.

The pokemon transporter/bank system probably found a way to tell which pokemon are illegitimate based on how the hacking device was utilized. I imagine because the Arceus, Darkrai, and Shaymin are event-only pokemon, they have an extra line of code somewhere to determine they are event-only. They do come in cherish balls with special ribbons, not to mention wonder cards, so it's easy to overlook something like that when hacking them in.

Latias and Latios could be gotten in some generations without any events triggered, and same with the regis too. Besides, you can trade any non-event-only pokemon on the GTS, so there's really no need to bother hacking those.

I don't hack any pokemon in (not my thing), and had no problem transferring my event darkrai, mew, or Jirachi.

EDIT: CRAP I didn't realize the date on this. Sorry to bump an old topic! Just saw there was no answer.

It's a tough decision for me. I personally love Normal and Flying types the most, but I'm not sure which I like better.

Normal types are usually very versatile, and with only having one weakness, makes them always a reliable member on any team. You get some of your greatest tankers from the normal typing, such as Blissey, Miltank, and Snorlax... Or one of the best abusers of serene grace, Togekiss (well, before it became a fairy). And let's nor forget the monstrosity that was born when Mega-Evolutions came along, Mega-Kangaskhan with its double hitting on all attacks!

Did you know in generation 1, Chansey could learn Bide? With her massive health, she could take down Mewtwo users quite well!

As for flying pokemon, well... My first favorite pokemon ended up being Pidgeotto because I loved the design of it when I saw it in the anime. Then I started liking a lot of the flying pokemon as more got introduced (mainly bird ones, but some exceptions apply).

 I used to love Noctowl back in generation 2. Mainly because back then, Noctowl could learn nightmare, so I used a devilish movepool of Hypnosis, Nightmare, Dream Eater and Reflect to take down some serious foes. In fact, someone I mystery gifted once said he fought my Noctowl at that special house in Viridian City once, and his level 100 steelix died to the level 56 Noctowl since Nightmare could be quite devastating and Noctowl could usually tank at least one hit (though it also had the quick claw on). Sadly, Noctowl's movepool is poor these days, but still is a decent special tank.

Between the two types, I suppose I would take normal over flying, if only because there is no pure flying type... Diversity is nice, but technically, if flying is paired with another type, it's not liking STRICTLY flying type the best, but their extra pairings as well.

Zlinqx : Not a bad idea! Could be similar to Final Fantasy 12's bounty hunts that unlocks tougher bounties as the officer ranks up!

Some other officer missions I had in mind:

In the rock tunnel, there could be a report of exploding graveler (they don't normally learn it at that point yet, but could be special overworld ones instead of wild ones that the officer has to find) making travel through there extremely dangerous for travelers! The officer's job ends up having to calm down said graveler, perhaps finding the reason why they are there and so agitated (team rocket, poachers, a bad trainer... take your pick!). You could probably space out the overworld graveler, putting one in each floor (maybe more than one in bigger floors, or at the end).

The S.S. Anne probably already has an easy mission dealing with Team Rocket on board or something, but just in case you don't have an idea with it... A simple mission could be finding the stowaway, which means having to go through all the rooms, maybe work with Looker/the international agent npc to find clues. And of course, you can't correctly find the stowaway without talking to everyone/certain npcs.

You probably already thought of this, but the "ranks" for the officer could be based on the badge system used for gyms. That way, it makes more sense if you are authorized to use HM moves like Cut, Flash, Strength, and so on. You know, a funny thing you could do is get a pokemon that can learn all those HMs (Mew for instance, but there are others in the other generations) given to the officer, but it'll NEVER listen in battle (it's only for outside battle), and it can't even be used as a meat shield in battle because it can't level, as has its stats hacked to 1 in everything. Maybe zero health if that doesn't cause glitches, and level 100 so it's always in a fainted state. To get that sort of pokemon, though, would need to require a special mission, though.

The game could end where the officer has to go to the elite four still, since a thief/mad scientist/team rocket/insert villain here has stolen the elite four's pokemon using some sort of brainwashing machine. Probably will require some foreshadowing, but lets there be a way for the officer to fight really tough pokemon towards the end. Heck, the doors that close behind you in the elite four could be a way for the evil person to "trap" the officer.

Also, if you aren't going to use a pokedex, I imagine that means you will be only including the original 151 pokemon in this hack (or less). I found in other hacks that if you do not have at least a national dex or something, non-native pokemon to that game cannot evolve. You could probably find a way around that (hacking it in, only feature non-natives that don't evolve), but I'm guessing you are still sticking to the originals. (Still, it'd be nice to evolve some like Golbat into Crobat).

I also hope you don't allow legendary pokemon to be obtained by the officer. Doesn't seem to make much sense for the officer to have one (or for it to be offered at the training center). Sure, the officer could have some "protect the legendary pokemon" missions, or maybe having a fetch quest to get medicine for them or something, but what officer would have legendary pokemon backing them up?

Also, while I do like Growlithe, I hope it's not the only starter an officer could get. If you go for multiple generations, you could have a choice of like Growlithe, Houndour (or maybe Snubble or Poochyena is better), or Electrike (all dogs/dog-like)! If you use just kanto pokemon, it might make best sense to just use Growlithe, though. I mean, I thought of like Growlithe, Meowth, or Farfetch'd (Dog, Cat, Bird), but of the three, Growlithe is a much better pokemon. Not unless you included rarer pokemon, like maybe Mr. Mime, Scyther, Jynx, and such, but they don't seem like an officer's partner pokemon.

Or you could google search dog pokemon (if multiple generations are in this) to get an idea of some starters.

I'll post more ideas as I get them.

I agree that the music was not "terrible" in X and Y, but it certainly was a downgrade compared to Black & White. The music, while better quality sound, was fairly generic. There was not any songs that necessarily sounded out of place or anything, as they all seemed to fit each area and event (I loved the rival battle themes, for instance). Unfortunately, X and Y just did not have extremely memorable tunes like the others games I have played.

Davideo7 :
I didn't mean to dedicate all of your video uploads to another site, just the ones being flagged by youtube. Keep the user gameplay videos on youtube, and put the commercials and other related stuff on another video upload site.

For the problematic videos, have you considered using alternate video upload sites?

I know that they would be less convenient for users, since they won't be all in one place, but you could link to them from a directory of some sort for those wishing to see them.

Some alternate video sites include dailymotion and vimeo. I do not know how stingy they are when it comes to copyright claims and such, but I don't see the harm in trying something new..

Well, I'm sure you'll be doing a lot of the Team Rocket quests. You probably could add in a few more during the normal course of the game.

Red and Blue could already be on their journey, and team rocket steals the final pokemon left at oak's lab. Oak asks you to save it (could be your starting quest) and if you save it, Oak will let you have it as thanks since it's going to a good home. I imagine it to be bulbasaur, since red should have charmander and blue should have squirtle, but that's just my opinion.

You could possibly run into Red and Blue among their journey for optional battles (prompts with yes/no battles) while you are traveling. Maybe get to hear their story from them, or at least blue. Red could be silent with little message boxes saying (It looks like he would like to challenge you to a battle. Would you like to accept?)

I saw this in another hack, but team rocket could attempt to rob the pewter museum with main character thwarting it. Team Rocket could be after the fossils in there in hopes they can restore them somehow.

In Viridian Forest, maybe you could help a bug catcher out by raising one of their pokemon to butterfree/beedrill. This isn't so much an officer quest as it is a general sidequest. You can either be a bad cop and take the pokemon or return it for a reward with a pokemon egg which contains a special rare bug type pokemon. (If you are doing more than kanto pokemon in this version, maybe a johto or hohenn pokemon, like heracross or nincada. If kanto only, something like Venonat, Pinsir, or Scyther) Or make it a repeatable quest for pokeballs or something.

South of cerulean at the daycare center, the man there could have had pokemon he was looking after stolen from him. Leads into a a search around cerulean for clues. Have to talk to trainers (maybe previously beaten, maybe not, depending how travel is for the officer) to get hints on where to find it. Should lead you up to the north cape towards bill's house, or in it if you feel like it, where the rocket or generic thief shall appear. It should only show up if you get enough trainer clues to lead you there (so no sequence breaking).

I'm doing a screenshot and story run on it as well, thus why i have my rules as I stated. It's on another forum, however,but if interested, send me a pm and I can send you (or anyone) a link.

I've only done nuzlocke runs about 3 times, and only on hacks. Currently doing one on the Rocket Science hack, and have previously done one on Pokémon Rebirth. Since Rebirth is the only time I ever completed one, I'd say that was the hardest so far. My current run on Rocket Science has been mostly easy, though I have been pretty cautious.

My current rules are the usual catch first thing encounters on route with only one chance (but only starts when pokeballs are available). I currently use a dupe clause where I cannot attempt to catch any Pokémon I have already nor failed to capture (meaning one failure and that Pokémon can never be caught, though evolutions count as different Pokémon). And gift Pokémon count for the area they are given in. Shiny Pokémon have to be caught but I can never use them (for they must go to the team rocket boss).
Nickname everything as soon as possible.
Faint = Dead
Can use legendaries as long as they follow the catch rules, but I still have to catch them for the boss. Limited one legendary on the team at a time.
Finally, run doesn't stop if there's a wipe out as long as I have Pokémon still able to fight in the boxes. I'm taking it easy on my runs.

I think it's a good movement for CVS to do. Maybe other drug stores won't feel pressed to sell cigarettes as well.

I do not agree with making whole states or areas of land smoke free (or drink free), however, as that DOES violate one's rights to smoke and drink. As long as the people participating in those activities are of age, it's perfectly normal and a decision they have the right to make. Just because one doesn't like smoking or drinking does not give anyone the right to control those who do.

What CVS is doing is not violating any rights because it is their own chain of stores or their choice. It's not like they are making smokers quit as they have other places to purchase their cigarettes. It WOULD be violating one's rights to ban the use of cigarettes and alcohol of entire areas (including private areas such as the home).

Also, when asking for opinions, it's best to keep at LEAST the topic sentence objective. Use of the word "cancer sticks" immediately shows you are not for cigarettes, which makes it sound like you are only looking for those who agree with you.
