How can you hate the Everstone? I love it because I'm leveling my Meowth to level 100 without evolving it or getting rid of Pay Day, so that I can get 10000 pyen an attack (it would be 5000, but it'll be doubled because when it's level 100, I'll be able to remove the Everstone without having to worry about it evolving and I can put on an Amulet Coin). I love it even more because I can get a bunch of them from the Underground, so I can assemble awesome teams of level 100 first-form starters. Mudkips, anyone?
Anyway, ANGST. I've been playing Lost Magic for a few days now. It's an okay game (not quite as bad as a lot of reviewers have made it out to be), but some of the boss fights are set up in such a way that the time limit to defeat them is too short to get through large groups of enemies (even with a Duo Rune involving the opposite type, so that it kills them or almost kills them in one shot), get to the boss, and defeat them. I'm glad I didn't buy the game myself, or else this would be ANGST about that, and not just about the stupid boss fights.
