I'm alive (unfortunately). Time to catch up as best I can.
>>58631713I kinda agree that you should focus more on the road trip angle. I feel like it was somewhat unfortunate planning to get rid of Matsui so early if you wanted to keep her around, because like you've already realized, you need to figure out a way to get her back that makes sense. At this point it seems silly for Val to go all the way back to Cali in order for them to group back up. Would probably just focus on other's joining Val instead.
>>58632992Oh cool! Big Bad Evil Guy themselves?
>>58634028I doubt I'll ever get to this point in the story so I don't care about 'spoilers', but Serpent and Wyrm's main conflict was going to surround Mega Stones, Rogue Evolution, and Awakening Seeds. This was all sort of hinted at with the strange 'energy' from the mountain that seems to be attracting 'mons, and then the whole dream sequence Miirym had.
>>58634402I'll give this a read later tonight.
>>58634673>How I choose monsI just press a randomizer until I find something cool or cute. Bonus points if they are fantasy coded (knights, rogues, wizards/witches, dragons, etc) for S&W.
>>58634689Fun little interlude, excited for the main part!
