Oh, and Mr Pokemon, 4x6=24 not 20

The details and reward categories have a maximum score of 2, sorry if I confused you.

Yes you did, and now you shall feel the wrath of my....whom I kidding? I'm too lazy to do anything to you...I'm just going to go change the score I gave

I noticed you were trying to get my attention on IRC the other day; I assume because you wanted me to review your entry.
So I will give you my opinion as well.

Understandable-4
Storyline-2
Ideas-3
Length-2
Details-2
Reward-1
Total-16/20=80%
Feedback-I don't mind the idea of incorporating a pirate ship, and crew, and your attempt to board said ship, but I find the quest to be rather unneeded to the players. Allow me to explain: PU is an mmo, and will have very few (if any) required quests, which means anyone can choose to take on a quest, or pass it; people are going to make use of walkthroughs, and each other, to ensure that for the most part, they do the quests that will give the best rewards. A reward is not always an item, or money though, sometimes a reward can be given access to something, in this case, I believe you should be entitled to join the crew, and a series of quests can be born from there, or alternatively, you could be given access to a far off island (treasure maybe?). If you do choose to pick an item for a reward, you must consider the reason for the reward; in this case, metronome does not feel very fitting to me. Perhaps seasalt, or shellbells, or something else would be a better reward than metronome. Not to say that metronome cannot be the reward, but you would have to go into more detail to explain why.

Just as you need to explain why the reward, it is a good idea to explain the reason for the events in the quest as well. For instance, I assume the reason you use chatot is because it is somewhat similar to a pirate's parrot, and the trainer must battle with a chatot because it is some form of pirate initiation and respect thing to battle with a pirate pokemon, but no where do you explain if that is the case or not. Also, you said the captains chatot is level 30, you expect people to attempt to get a chatot, not to mention getting it to level 30 just to be able to complete a quest that gives them metronome, and then dump the pokemon after that? Seams like a lot of work to me. Don't get me wrong though, I do like the idea of having to acquire a pokemon just to be able to do the quest, but perhaps some other solution is possible, such as an npc somewhere in the game who used to be a revered pirate back in his/her youth has the chatot you need, at just the right level too.

I have no problem with this quest really, I just wish it was more refined; there are so many things you can do with pirates: battles with other pirate crews on the open sea's, exploration of treasure islands, pillaging villages, mutiny, fighting off law enforcement, etc.

I hope that was helpfull.

Lol. You have birthday on mothers day xD

uh...no. My birthday is next sunday.

Hey, I know this doesn't really have anything to do with PU, but I just wouldn't feel right, not posting about my love for the woman that brought me into this world, raised me, and without whom, I would not be here to be able to enjoy Pokemon-Universe.

Please share your love for mom's today, at the end of the day, I am going to show my mom all the compassion here, and get her to give everyone a thank you message.
That's right, spirit's mom is going to be posting on Pokemon-Universe!

Silhouette of starter pokemon have been revealed. Kamaran may you do the honor

This data was just released, and as such, has very few articles relating to it yet, but from what I have read, people so far seem to think that the one on the left is grass, the top one is fire, and the right one is water; I have to disagree, i think the top one is grass, and the left one is fire, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the three starters aren't fire/water/grass this time around.
I guess we will have to wait to find out.

But here is some other interesting information I just located, and would like to draw everyone's attention to, even if it isn't true, as it just seams like a fascinating, potential bit of knowledge pertaining to Black and White.
linky
You might also notice that the buildings in the middle are black and white.....who know's if this is foreshadowing, or hinting at gen 5? It wouldn't be the first time Nintendo has made references to pokemon games that weren't out yet.

*BUMP*

Ok, so episode 3 is now out, you can find the links in my first post; it is made up of 4 parts, and that is after cutting a lot of stuff.
I am also working on future episodes, so expect to still see more in the future, but no estimate of when.

From that alone? Probably only two or three.
There's no love for spirit!
