Interestingly, Eclius' national animal is Rayquaza (don't ask, I know Roman Empire and Rayquaze are completely unrelated)

Sort of. I mentioned elsewhere that Gen 6 is one of my favorite generations, but I hate the 3D look and would have preferred it if they stuck to spites and maybe save 3D Pokemon for another XD type of game (though with gyms and catching Pokemon more traditionally).

Also, I'm still concerned about the game becoming a mismatch of Hawaiian/South Pacific stereotypes that puts Kalos to shame.

But the Pokemon look good. I haven't really been paying attending but they seem more organic based than Gen 5 so far.
Hey, it is Parhe :D I am always open to telegrams.
I know it is a Work-In-Progress, but I would love it if y'all looked at my new factbook and gave me some feedback!

I'm so excited.
I had enough to evolve one of them, but what I think I'm gonna do it just level it up until it hits cap, then evolve it. Make it as strong as it can be.

Well, I finally realized why people say Vaporeon is the best eevee evolution. Managed to randomly evolve my 201cp eevee to a 756cp Vap. Which is ~400cp more than my previous best pokemon.

I have unintentionally become a pure fire-type trainer in Pokemon GO. My top three most powerful Pokemon are a Magmar, a Charmeleon, and a Flareon. Ironic since my favourite type aside from ghost is grass
Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

It's actually not random. Depends on the moves they have when they're caught. Also you can nickname them and force the Eeveelution.

I did not know that. Is there a guide to being able to tell based off the moveset?
