Furfrou is really bad but I think he'd have it to make others under-estimate him. And I like the idea of Clefable and Gengar on the same team due to the popular fan theory that Gengar is Clefable's shadow . . . two-faced, y'know?

Thinking about what team Volo might have in Legends ZA since it's implied he was still alive in that era and was recently in Lumiose . . .

Urbain positivity for today
Lida tells us she was pretty screwed after her room-mate bailed on her, she could not work enough to afford rent, but Urbain gave her a place to stay.
He did the same for Naveen when his grandma threw away his sewing stuff. He gave both of them a roof over their head.

Team MZ has become "important" enough to deem them worthy of a party invite. Thus Urbain being extra determined to not wear anything different from usual and so on. idk it felt like a Personal Grudge to me

I like to think while he was homeless in Lumiose, she ran across him and treated him exactly like you'd expect her to treat someone homeless, like he was some kind of slime to scrape off her shoe. And then during the game she invites him to the fancy party (not recognizing/remembering him) once

Urbain was noticibly rude to Jacinthe, even before she started actively doing bullshit, which makes me think he has run into her in the past. Or at least knew *of* her and the kind of bullshit she did. It makes sense he would despise her an extra amount, as he was living on the streets.

Teir list of my fondness for the characters.
Honestly there is no teir low enough for Jacinthe though.

o shit, I like that idea.

Granted, the Lumiose dex is quite small so he doesn't have tons of options, but I think Gengar would have been a great addition to his lineup, in the very least.

Why does Corbeau have Gyarados and Barbaracle on his team anyway. Kind of random choices for a poison specialist.

The ones I mentioned there aren't too bad but they still are NOT better then the base pokemon colors, frankly.

Some Honorable Mentions for Lumiose shinies that aren't great but aren't too bad:
furfrou (the color swap looks decent here), eelektross, scizor (modern games make the green less gross so it's better then it used to be), the 2 fossil pokes, gogoat, talonflame, absol

Basically, give me shinies that are not just the teeny, tiniest change in shade so small you can't notice the difference by eye, are not de-saturated to absolute shit, and are not some nauseating color choice or color combo
Why the HELL are the vast majority like this? I truly want to know.

In Lumiose, the only shinies I think I like, whose species I also like, are . . .
-Scolipede
-Umbreon
-Sylveon
-Charizard
-Pumpkaboo
-Skarmory
-Aegislash
-Gyarados
-Emboar

I gotta say though, 99% of all shinies are fucking horribly ugly. So I won't be doing much shiny hunting. Scolipede is one of the very rare shinies that actually looks like an improvement compared to its original coloration.

Still trying to get an alpha shiny Scolipede. I have a few shiny Malamar and just found a shiny Ariados during this quest. But no target so far.
