    Magikarp's power is basically a joke. EXCEPT this one is actually legitimately powerful.

    Seen the video on Youtube where the Magikarp helped by Smeargle 1HKOes a team of legendaries? That's that Magikarp.
    Therefore, Magikarp's involvement is legitimate and makes sense in context. For what Pokemon would legends fear more than the one that took out six with only a Smeargle for backup?

    I still don't like it, and still think it's stupid. But I'll let that one go to popular vote, I guess.

    Well, the context makes sense...and also, a Magikarp would want to get back at the legends for its not being strong...well, it makes sense to me.

    I'd like to point out that this thread does have 2 Bold Approvals. One from Tesla Elesa and one from MeowMix. I give this my unofficial approval due to the hard work and nitpicking Cake has gone through to make this one awesome theme with pretty original ideas.

    I like how this is placed right after the discussion about Magikarp. Agreed.

    On a scale of one to seven flying golden bananas on a stick held by Gaius Julius Caesar on a sunday morning, I rate this theme two pairs of shoes worn by poor people in the mines without access to strawberry shortcakes.
    Aka unofficial approval. Seriously, it rocks and we need it back.

    Thanks both of you :')

    To keep this sort of topical, I'll make a decision on Wurmple and the name during school. Probably will change both.

    Well the implicit agreement with my approval was that you'd keep on updating the themes according to other's suggestions. And you have delivered on that promise, so yay for you.

    I don't see anything holding back this theme from being approved now; there's nothing major left to fix. Lone Magikarp role is ehhhhhhhh, but it's more of a flavour issue than detrimental. Might as well approve it now, hmmm?

    Does 3 approvals mean that it is an official mafia theme?

    It takes 6, but I like what you've done, Cake. It looks much more balanced and should be more fun.

    The only problem I had with this is Magikarp as some extreme daykiller. But it seems the populace is in favor of this goofy aspect and have provided numerous pieces of video evidence to show why the stupid little fish is so revered. So setting my personal bias aside, I have no more reason to overlook the many improvements made to this team. We have quite a few players eagerly awaiting its return so I'll help speed up the process.

    I approve. [4]

    A very unique theme. There is a Ganon(Shedinja), Suicidal PRs, converting mafia, and everything seems balance. Very nice theme indeed, good job with the coding and thanks to everyone who contribute to make this theme possible. Approve [5]! :D

    I suppose I shall make the casting vote. It seems well done enough, and you have addressed any criticisms made, so I am sure if there are issues that arise in the future, they will not be a problem.
    Approve [6].

    Congratulations!

    It's easy to fix though (only change the custom command for one of the forms).

    Your theme is disabled until Meloetta is fixed. It should be quick, so when you've fixed it post here or PM an MA. Thanks~

    It would be more helpful if Unown had a broadcast message for their kill... or was the no-broadcast intentional?

    @1st: sorry, misread the help.
    @2nd: If it comes early in game, Shedinja is in troubles. I mean, I posted that because I killed Pineco as Shedinja in a small game, making the Little bugs a bit OP :x

    I suggest having Pineco appear later. A mafia-sided bomb is more of a buff to the the village, since it's more likely a bad guy will kill the bomb, making that crossfire greatly weaken 2 mafia sides.
    This is why Gordo only appears in big games in Kirby now.

    Oh lol. Probably a mafia script error (AKA not theme related). Meloetta probably distracted 2 Werewolf-like roles.
    I could try fixing that in the mafia scripts, but not sure if worth all the trouble (because it doesn't break any theme and it's funny).

    Someone else has to do it... I guess.

    Also: Thundurus knows Meloetta. Meloetta doesn't know Thundurus. Just thinking this should be fixed, so they both would know each other.
