  1. Hello everyone, I've almost finished completing my Pokédex. But there are a few Pokémon I still have trouble with finding. I hope you can trade the remainding ones with me: Corsola (had no luck with the 1% catch rate, and no event on the beach) Cranidos/Rampardos (damned skull fossil) Litten/Torracat/Incineroar (received Glumanda from the Magma quest) I can immediately offer you these: Or get an egg for one of my Team Pokémon, which are all 5-6 IVs (except the last two rows on the sand-themed Team-Box and Simisage+Scatterbug for Heart Scale farming): Or every other Pokémon on the Pokédex. Thank you very much in advance!

    Catching gible

    Well, I filled all basins with Snax and it seems Gible already visited each one: "Stray crumbs rest in the stone basin". Now I can't refill it or anything. Leaving and reentering won't help. And no idea what that arceus switch did on the upper level, but can't press it again. Any idea to reset that?
  3. My first Larvesta I actually bred was a 6x 31 IV shiny one. Random Number God was with me.
  4. So I started my journey but suddenly I'm in a need of a Mantis Camel. Can you help me out? I got that Fiery double humped camel you've been looking for.
  5. I can confirm the quality of those camels. The kennel based delivery makes sure that you're the original owner of the camels, which is nice. I just don't know where they are from, since I've never seen those kind of camels on my journey through E16.
  6. Hello dear Sir, I'm about to travel the Sahara and I have my eye on three of your valuable camels. Those are the Dragon Dance Rock Camel, the Blind Biting Camel and the Aquatic Snake camel. I can offer you a Fire Chicken Camel, a Flying Fire-Breathing Bug Camel, and a levitating Purple Ghost Camel with 5x31 IVs, good Sir. Can you help my on my upcoming journey?
  7. Let me summarize your opinions. There were some arguments, that Reborn isn't Smogon regarding to viability of a pokemon, some concerns because of the balancing (rather mega ring first, then stones for balancing; axe M-Pinsir+M-Heracross), some extra opinions, that E17 will bring it either way, uniqueness of megas and some arguments supporting my suggestion (you da real MVP). Well, of course, it's true, it isn't Smogon. In Reborn, field effects play an important role and there are some new attacks as well. But imo, that isn't creating a whole different level of tiers, it's just "distorting" the smogon-tiers. And in Reborn it's also quite important which attacks the pkm naturally learn because of the lack of TMs we have. That can influence the tier as well. Maybe there is a pkm who makes the jump from UU to OU or vice versa, but the distortion isn't that huge. Pokemon like Azumarill, Blaziken etc. are still great. Ame is adjusting field effects and the learnability of attacks, but these are just two factors. If Ame really intends to create a whole different level of tiers, she had to adjust pkm abilities, natural attacks learned, pkm weaknesses/strengths etc. as well. But that won't happen. Adjusting only two rather little factors don't change tiers greatly. The impact on having M-Pinsir or M-Heracross should be something to be tested in alpha/beta. If they're really making the cut, then Ame can axe the possibilites of getting them, as she alrdy had with plenty other pkm like Mudkip, Gastly or Bulbasaur. Even though I'm not a fan of this method, we would still have the possibility of using normal Pinsir and Heracross, which should be fine. That's the least thing I want that the game will get easy (even though it is after you get a box full of perfect IV/EVs). I expect of Ame implementing the hardest Top4 I've ever seen, like all of them fully EV and IV trained, level 100, perfectionized AI, perfect attacks, competitive tactics etc. But as I've said, this is sth which has to be tested, you can't simply give a forecast on their impact. Regarding the argument of only the enemies having megas is sexy or intimidating, I don't really think so. Like I farmed a lot of the grandhall trainers, and there is a point where you simply get used to them. If you go into the tunnel of horror for several times, it just isn't as terrific as it was on the first go. It get's less exciting. And as soon as you reach the point in knowing them in and out, they're no surprise. You're just wondering yourself why you haven't gotten one of it as well. If we really are the chosen one of a pkm trainer this game tries to convince me to, why not implementing a deep bond between pkm, like Ash and his Greninja, which enables us having the mega-evolution. All of the others have to use their ring, we don't. That's sexy and new! And that could be an Ame-niveau quest as well - like a guy disguised asking you what your favorite pkm is, but it's a meteor douchebag stealing that pkm afterwards to harm you and strengthen meteor, building it in a machine, you'll rescue it, etc. etc. Which may also impact the balance, that we can only have one mega, f.e, so wouldn't completely having all of them. There are a lot of things to use to make the balance perfect. And you all know that Ame could create a quest which is so god damn sexy that you all would be glad accomplishing it and get a mega for that. And you also know that she will do that, she won't just give it to you so easily. When you get it, it'll be awesome for sure.
  8. As the Title already says. Why don't Ame just giving us a Mega Ring? People would argue with two arguments now: 1. It is too strong using amazing mega evolutions. 2. Ame wants to make us suffer. But, is that really the case? In my opinion, introducing the Mega Ring right now, would make us even more suffer, wouldn't lower the game difficulty, would contribute to use more of the little weakling-pokemon and still giving us an amazing feature of pokemon. Why is that so? Let's consider having a Mega Ring and being able to use all the mega evolutions with all the given mega stones as of Ep. 16. 1. The current mega stones available in the game right now are: Abomasite, Banettite, Cameruptite, Glalitite, Heracronite and Pinsirite. I hope I haven't forgotten one. The best mega evolutions out of this collection are Mega-Heracross and Mega-Pinsir, being in OverUsed tier. Besides of already having better bug types in the game right away with Durant and Crustle, these two would propably be the new best bug types in the game, but that's it. They're not uber, they're not like smashing every enemy right away. We're already having access to pkm like Greninja and Torchic, pkm of uber tier who can sweep entire teams and we have a lot of pkm in OverUsed tier like Excadrill, Gengar (with online play & trade), Weavile, Amoonguss, Breloom, Klefki and a lot more who still get the job done. With the currenty availability in pkm we have right now, I don't see any problems regarding to balance. The opposite is the case. Like currently, if you would give the users an (f.e.) ice-pkm of choice, Weavile would be the answer right away. No one bats an eye on Glalie or Abomasnow. Even WITH mega evolutions, they belong to Rarelyused or Borderline-Underused tier. But they're getting more attractive with mega evolution than without. Same goes with the others. Banette loses to Gengar and Cameruptite loses to a lot of fire-pkm. You could implement that right away, seen from a competitive base, Gengar and Blaziken are still the choice. But, as I've said, the pkm Camerupt and Banette would get more attractive to use at all. It contributes in using those other underdog pkm, while not having a great impact on the balance of the game. 2. But how does that make us more suffer, when we can use another feature in pkm. From this side, not. Being able to use another feature in the game is just amazing, we shouldn't be hindered using them. It brings more flexibility, more fun. Right now, we're not having this feature, but nothing in comparison to compensate that gap. Almost same story with the iPhone 7 and the missing headphone jack. People don't like that. They've been stolen with this feature and complained about it. We in Reborn, we haven't even get in pleasure using them at all. But coming back to my point: how does it still make us more suffer while we're having more fun? Because look at those god-damned mega stones! Abomasite, Cameruptite? I want to have a Blazikenite or Mega-Charizardite X! Those real badass monsters, they would still be missing, and everybody would like to have them. With implementing the Mega Ring, Ame would give us a chair to reach the lightbulb, but it still wouldn't be enough to reach it, because there is a tiny bit missing. God damn you Ame! But we have the opportunity to use the other mega-evolutions. And well, a Mega-Glalie and the others ... they don't look too shabby, do they? And all in all. I'm sick of looking at those noob trainers using their mega evolutions, while I sit here on my ass with some stones but no chance to use them. NPCs see me ingame like: "Oh, oh. There is this trainer who recks every Meteor-gang-member and every trainer there is. But he's not able using Mega-Evolutions, even though he has some stones!? What's that noob. Let's cheer for Fern again." and I'm like "Screw you, Fern, once I get my Mega Ring I'm gonna use my Mega-Abomasite to shovel some snow into your **********". You get my point. But all that argueing with common sense ... it won't help. Because Ame is more that riddle-type of human. We've already made her publishing Ep. 16 with asking her about the release-date of Ep. 1. So, please help me users. Share with me your thoughts about if implementing Mega Rings would be a good idea or not AND suggest your question to trigger Ame implementing this ring. So I'll start right off the bat with ... do you implement the Mega Ring, if I ask you about how many helioptiles does it take to change a light bulb?
  9. Damn, you've ruined my game! You had to ask for deez nuts. But alright, let's trade, what's your name, I'm sending you a request.
  10. Yeah, sure. I wanted to wait for those three pkm first. Two Gastlys are remaining in the end, so you can choose one of them ... or both of them.
