Seemingly not much interest this year, huh? Meh... For anyone actually reading: suggestions on a nickname for Trapinch?! Was unable to come up with one myself I liked much.
I have gotten to the point of acquiring my Mega Bracelet! And wow, I sure did like how that was introduced.
Acquiring Latios that way was awesome. But it did kind of bother me that you were literally forced to take him for the time being and send somebody else back to the box. My only gripe was how looong it took to get through during soft resets... Because of course I did, even though I wasn't expecting to literally just walk into it in the least (which is honestly kinda awesome - I'm liking being surprised here). Fortunately I didn't lose too much progress the first time. I only went through twice though and settled for Modest even though I'd have preferred Timid. I just figured that would take far too long.
I can't wait to fly around with him eventually.
Team building has been a big focus of today's play. A lot has changed and a lot of catching up needs to be done. I like the additions though. I am somewhat worried that I'll basically have three Dragon types, counting Mega Sceptile. Mayhaps Latios won't stay permanently. His sudden inclusion throws a wrench in things, because now either he or Asuna needs cut for Glalie, whom I still intend to withdraw soon.
One change to the remakes I rather like is the scripted teleportation. There was an awful lot of backtracking in the originals. Just so much. But with the exception of being taken to Mauville after the encounter in Meteor Falls, they've been super convenient in my opinion. Especially going to fight Norman. Oh man was that one great. Getting there so easily, that is. Fighting his Slakings was still a massive pain. 
Team now:
Altair, Swellow Lv. 35
Hashirama, Grovyle Lv. 34
Asuna, Gardevoir Lv. 34
Latios, Lv. 30
Trapnich, Lv. 27
Abyss, Carvanha Lv. 26
Back in the box:
Biscuit, Masquerain Lv. 32
Akamaru, Mightyena Lv. 30
Rocket, Zigzagoon Lv. 14 (Needed somebody who could surf. 
)
