1) Haha! It’s okay! It was just a joke! I really don’t mind at all! I wasn’t even expecting to get so many!
2) Thanks! And I hope your wedding tomorrow goes off without a hitch! I mean, aside from getting hitched.
3) Thanks! And I already addressed the rest of this though PM.
4) Why thank you, pink human!
5) Oh my goodness! The entire state of Michigan just wished me a Happy Birthday! That’s insane!

A~nd it looks like Zombie Fluttershy is even friends with horseflies. And bad smells. Suddenly more unnerved by this concept than I was previously.
And here’s where I’d put all my birthday recognitions!
1) I haven’t. In fact, I never have. Not even back in Red/Blue/Yellow. Catching all of the Pokemon has never really interested me that much. But with the addition of critical captures, I’m enjoying a few easy catches since I have so many already. Gives more incentive to catch instead of defeat in order to raise the odds.
2) I know, but it was so well received! I just kept making calls and scheduling appointments. And everypony was so receptive!
3) Haha. Turns out Bbz was talking about something else. But I’m glad you remember! And I saw you followed it too!
There’s a number of concepts in place to try and balance the various methods of combat. Since I’ll need to make a post about it eventually, the short version is that while magic, by design, has the widest range of effects possible, each individual spell has to have additional points applied to it (after unlocking) to make it stronger (which in turn increases its cost, if you want to use the stronger version). So you can either have a bunch of different spells, or have a much smaller pool of spells that you’re actually good at.
On the other hoof, while there are much fewer individual physical attacks, while applying points to make them stronger too, you can also augment them to have additional effects that you can turn on or off depending on how much stamina you use. So, in addition to the armor insert effect applied to all of your physical attacks, you can add a knockback, add additional intimation damage, turn it into a multi-hit cleave, or all three at once if the situation calls.
4) Bon-Bon: Well, I could certainly put the attention to better use. I run a business, after all.
Lyra: But no. Fewer bizarre messages. Fewer messages period, really.
Bon-Bon: I haven’t really been paying attention to movies. I have a bunch of books I’ve been collecting during the busy season. Finally getting around to reading them! Reading one right now about a pony that was raised by timberwolves.

1) Bon-Bon: And if I was, I bet Lyra would still find a way to make it about her. If I was- uh-
Lyra: Optimus Prime.
Bon-Bon: Yeah! Optimus Prime! Then she’d be-
Lyra: A [omitted].
Bon-Bon: A dou-…
Lyra: Oh sorry, Shia LaBeouf.
2) Oh my gosh! How do you even remember that?! I haven’t mentioned that on here in like a year! Still working it on, by the way! Not terribly fast, but it’s goin’!
3) Double oh my gosh! Somepony mentioning something sort-of major that happened recently! I got paid for judging on that panel, you know.
Ah yes! We too like the way this celebration looks! ‘Tis most fanciful in its merry use of deceit!
No no. Celebi is a type of Pokemon.
Poe-key-mon? Has some new creature encroached upon Equestria’s borders in my absence?
N-No. They’re not real.
Not real? Do you mean to say ponies still participate in the practice of spreading rumors of the eldritch?
Well… Yes. Technically, but-
Oh wondrous day! We always did enjoy a good tale of chill and fright! Shall we share a few?
I-I don’t know that there’s time-
A celebration would simply not be complete without regaling The Tale of the Filly’s Death-Glare!
Oh dear…
Ah-Hah! A clever ruse has left you baffled at your sudden change in conversation partner! Twas but a guest speaker! Her services, and many others, enlisted in celebration of a day for wily subterfuge! But worry not! For your hosts will soon return and once again attend to your inquiries!
What are you talking about this time, you silly? Though I do appreciate the clarification on that abbreviation. Thanks for taking the time to-
Behold! I, your Princess of the Night, have arrived to participate in your merriment! Present to us our assigned prompt so that we may commence with our entertaining monolog!
Oh! P-Princess Luna! I-er… I had to end the joke early! I, sort of ran out of asks I could use.
Oh… I see…
I’m so sorry, princess.
It is just that, we traveled all this way. Altered our sleeping schedule to make room…
I-uh… I still needed to go back and reply to a few comments. If you wanted, you could join me in-
And so we shall! Ha-hah! ‘Tis high-time we dispel the queer rumors of our frightening nature!
Yeah… Probably don’t want to use the word queer…
Has its conversational use changed as well over the millennia?
Ye- A little.
…Yeees… Fiiight… Destrooooy… Enslaaave…
Charming, as always. You may be surprised to find that even I had a similar experience, though reversed. I conquered Black Tower without so much as a struggle. But, in spite of additional levels gained, was nearly driven from White Treehollow. Of course it was still crushed beneath my hoof, but I’m sure you can see the similarities.
Awesome! So did we!
Oh absolutely. We really must get together and do it again sometime soon. And please don’t fret over any communication issues.
Yeah! We came to play! Not trade life stories.
Not that I would be opposed to trading a few tales.
And could I ever tell you some stories! Like this one time-
Ah haha. Perhaps another time, dear. Oh, but you poor thing! I meant to warn you about that. Those things are simply dreadful! I don’t think Rainbow Dash and I together could bring them down reliably!
Yeah… They kinda hurt. It’s just a shame that my gaming partner is so bad at that game.
Excusez-moi?
I said I’m sure I could have done it with somepony who’s better at video games.
… I will destroy you in Tetrisphere!
Make it Hawken!
It. Is. On!
See? I told you not to go around clicking everything that said free!
But ah… what if this is just the guy that gives out the prizes?
Oh yeah! It was me! I did it!
Hay, wait a minute.
Don’t be silly! Actually, do be silly! Because everyday is a day to be foolish! :D
And goofy. And wacky. And kooky. And ditzy. And qu-
Oh! Oh I get it now! Yeah! Your icon is still crossed out too! ;)
The Great and Powerful Trixie does not require your permission to speak to her heart’s content about whatever subject tickles her fancy. But, since you are in such need of aid, The Great and Powerful Trixie supposes she can spare a moment from her busy schedule to indulge.
Hatching the Pokemon eggs is easily the most boring and time consuming part of Pokemon breeding. Simply carry five eggs at once, and a Pokemon with the Flame Body or Magma Armor ability. As you must always carry a Pokemon with you at all times, only a foal would waste their time hatching eggs without such an addition.
As each egg of the desired Pokemon hatches, if they do not possess the desired Nature/Ability, then release. By that time you will likely be able to acquire another egg and continue. As it is a continuous sequence, Trixie recommends you bicycle back and forth along the same route as the daycare to speed up the process of hatching, release, and procurement.
As far as leveling the newly hatched Pokemon, if you are in a rush, re-battling the Elite Four and Champion, along with attaining the maximum rank in the Battle Chateau will allow you to fight the highest level trainers available. Simply give the desired Pokemon the Lucky Egg and open every encounter with said Pokemon; switching them in and out as each opponent’s Pokemon is defeated.
However, The Great and Powerful Trixie must caution you. Always EV train your Pokemon first using your preferred method.
As for the remainder of your plebeian rambling, The Great and Powerful Trixie does not know of any Lyra or Bon-Bon. However were she, however unlikely it may be, somehow stricken down with physical injury, she would not oppose to being waited on in admiration by her adoring fans. Not that she isn’t already.
