Hi! So we've gotten a lot of new members lately, and with some recent events, it looks like we may be getting a few more. That's great! However, I've realised that some people are coming from other servers that may have some very different standards from Reborn. So I'd like to take a moment just to make a few things clear. Also, our established members should note that I'm also going to be pushing the bar even higher. The first thing to realise is that what happened in the past or on another server needs to stay there. Don't bring old drama to Reborn (we have quite enough, I assure you~); it's not going to make anything better. As Eternal Edge said, this is a new server and a new chance. More to the point, Reborn is not like other servers. We have established community guidelines. For instance, I'd like to point to Rule 2: If you're being an idiot, we will mute you. Thanks! <3 That said, this typically only applies to the people who just consistently say unintelligible things, or, for instance, say over and over how much they love Shrek 9. However, the other, broader part to this is the no chatspeak part. What do I mean by that? Chatspeak is the use of shortened characters to abbreviate individual words. For instance "Are you two all right?" as chatspeak is something like "r u 2 alrite?" We strongly discourage this at Reborn. It may seem trivial, but for those of us used to regularly using these ancient things called vowels, speaking like that makes one appear not only lazy and uneducated, but it makes it sound as if their mouth is stitched closed. In the past we have discouraged this, but not muted for it. As of now, we will mute for excessive chatspeak. If you're just dropping a "u" here and there, you don't have anything to worry about (though it is a habit that probably ought to be broken) but we are going to begin enforcing this more heavily on others. Some clarifications: Generally we regard the chatspeak rule to apply to individual words. If you're abbreviating more than one word, such as lol, btw, wtf, etc, then it's okay. Another question (get ready for grammar mindfuck) is, is "ok" okay? The answer is yes, and Here is Why. There's your fun fact for the day- "OK" means "Oll Korrect" which is two words~ Anyway, when it comes to rules, basically everything boils down to Rule 1: The "at least pretend like it" part is us respecting your opinions. We understand if you're not comfortable with, for instance, discussions about homosexuality on the server. We don't expect you to change your opinion if it makes you uncomfortable. We do expect you to filter your actions into an appropriate, respectful manner, even if that means stepping out of the conversation for a while. The respect rule is very, very broad, and we use it quite liberally. Many servers have a rule that says "Respect the auth." I really dislike those sorts of rules, because it implies that the normal users don't also need to be respected. That's exactly why we have the rule as we do. However, do realise that the "respect the auth" is inherent within that rule as well. We make informed decisions, and keep track of incidents. If you have a problem with a mod or their actions, don't get mad- bring it it to an admin. If you have a problem with an admin, bring it to Ikaru or myself. We'll work with you, because we respect you as well. Another thing inherent in Rule 1 is respect to the community. This means a number of things, but for the people coming in from other servers, one thing that can sometimes be a problem is our tiers. We are not Smogon; we do not follow thier tiering. If you don't like it, you are not required to be here. Respecting the community means respecting our tiers as well. If you think our tiers are "dumb as shit" because we leave Chandelure, Moody, Drizzle/Swift Swim, etc in OU, then perhaps Reborn is not the server for you. Moreover, I would ask a person who thinks these things to challenge exactly why he or she believes them. Smogon is not God- their decisions are no more or less "correct" than ours. The things we keep in OU do not break the metagame but because Smogon has banned them many people assume that they do without taking the time to think for themselves. Regardless, do respect the community by tolerating, if not appreciating, our more lenient tiers. There are also a few points of Rule 1 that I have not made clear before, but have occasionally enforced. This is what I meant before when I said we're raising the bar. Specifcally I am referring to disrespectful language, even if it isn't aimed at anyone in particular. Now, Reborn will likely never censor swear words for the sake of them being curses. I find this trite and tedious. However, there are some words that are highly disrespectful in and of themselves. For instance, "nigger," "faggot." I do not want to see these words on the server, because they are in themselves derogatory to their given groups. I don't care if you're black and so you feel it's okay to say that- It sets a poor example to others, and diminishes the community. I don't care if you're joking when you call ___ a fag; it's rude to them, and it's rude to homosexuals, and even if you're joking, it shows that we tolerate those sorts of things. Those are things I am not comfortable tolerating. We will have no more of it. Also applied to this is "bitches." I do not mean the swear word "bitch" itself- but the use of "bitches" to refer to females as a whole. For instance, in a context such as "bitches love cars." It is highly sexist and objectifying to females, and as a society, we do not need to lower ourselves to that level. Another thing that I have for a long time discouraged is the use of the word "rape," as in the context, for instance "lol my scizor just raped that team." Not to mention the fact that it's borderline Rule 7, in itself, it's also highly inconsiderate to people who have actually been through such a thing. There are a few on this server, and even outside I guarantee that at least one person, if not several, you know has been sexually assaulted- even if you have no idea of it. It happens a lot, and too often as a culture do we glaze over this cold heartedly. For these reasons, I do ask that you brag about your victories in some other, more appopriate way. On the note of Rule 7: "Overt" can be quite vague, so in a separate post I'll repost a list of the criteria the mods use for evaluating this. It's on a 9-point scale, and we currently mute for anything above 3 (and generally ask that 3 be taken to a separate channel or PM). I would ask all of you to bear in mind these things when you're on the server. I pride Reborn in having one of, if not the highest standards of community in PO, and I hope that as members, you take pride in being a part of that- and furthermore, working to preserve it. Thank you for your time!

...it looks good but damn you're like a completely different person

not sure if cloud saw my underwater list or not .jpg

Hai! Welcome and welcome and welcome and hai! ~ <3

Oh, so it's in the scripts rather than the tier file?

^ Seconded. And Poetic just won a lot of cool points.

Do you know exactly how, Batl? The common sense method hasn't worked. ><

This is a team Pika Amelia requested that I make and post. The whole point is to centralise the adorable little whateveritscalled, Cinccino! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Line-Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cinccino ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the only Pokemon the team needs. Cinccino has a hidden ability that improves the effectiveness of Cute Charm. The second you send it out, the opponent forfeits because it's so damn cute that they don't want to hurt it. In fact, the moves and EVs don't even matter. Using Cinccino = Autowin. It's just THAT cute. ...okay, fine, most people are soulless bastards and don't care how cute it is. So... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The (real) Line-Up ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Process ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, if you haven't forgotten, the whole point of this team is Cinccino. So... I think, what are the main problems your run-of-the-mill Cinccino has? It's hardest, most common counter is of course, Steel types. So I choose something to make sure that Steel types aren't a problem. There are some things Fire can't bite, but for everything else, there's MasterChandelure. Typical Scarf has one critical flaw- Stealth Rocks limiting its effectiveness. Similarly, I want some support for Cinccino to net more secure kills, so... Forretress for Rapid Spin and my own hazards. Now the other problem with Chandelure is that I don't want to rely on just it and a fire type attack to take out all the Steel types. That might be less than effective for the Heatran, so, for the "things Fire can't bite," Blaziken! ...Wait, you say, I'm using another fire type to cover the misgivings of a first one? Yeaaaah, but more for its Fighting type, and its ability to speed up and support Cinccino. You'll see. However, since I do have two Fire types, I want something to cover my new water weakness. Problem solved. Finally, I also have a double Ground weakness, and I think some other utility might be nice in addition to an immunity. Kabababoom. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cinccino ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As I said, the whole point of this team. Skill Link and the multi-hit moves are the bread and butter of any Cinccino worth its supercutesleeksilkytails. For a fourth move, I've opted for U-Turn. Maxing Cinccino's speed, it hits a great 361- enough to function as a solid scout or anti-lead to more frailer opponents. Whether it U-Turns out or attacks, the likely enemy lead's Focus Sash is worthless. U-Turning to Xatu or Fortress is usually a nice slap in the face to the enemy set up as well. As for the item, I choose King's Rock because Cinccino is neither bulky enough for Leftovers to matter much, but I don't want it to die slowly from its own Life Orb. King's Rock is a haxxy, but fun choice on a Pokemon that attacks 5 times per turn. It means that each of those 5 attacks gets a chance to flinch the opponent. This let's Cinccino have a decent shot at taking down some walls, especially considering that each of those attacks also has a chance to crit. It's nothing I rely on, but it is nice to have in lieu of anything else. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forretress ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVs optimised for general bulk; two kinds of set up, Rapid Spin support, and finally Volt Switch. Volt Switch is fun to keep up the momentum of the team or just play back and forth between this and U-Turn. At the end of the day though, this is just your basic spinner for this team. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chandelure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another standard set, but it does what it needs to. Overheat wrecks the Steel types that might otherwise wall Cinccino. Additionally since Chandelure is part ghost, it's a great way to get the jump on Fighting Types that want to threaten Cinccino. U-Turn to this, break any Sash, murder. Tactical retreat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vaporeon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, we all know how I love me some Vaporeon. Vaporeon is mainly serving as my water wall to protect Chandelure and Blaziken, but Scald is neat to pass around some burn. Acid Armor makes this thing ridiculously hard to kill, along with Wish. Wish, too, with Vaporeon's giant HP is a great support move for whatever I happen to need it for at that time on my team. Baton Pass will again help the fluidity of the team, and also put those Acid Armor boosts along to Xatu to stall, or Blaziken to set up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blaziken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally, an atypical set, neh? Its effectiveness in itself is limited firstly by the lack of Protect, and secondly, by the lack of a Fire move. However, Chandelure should have the Fire aspect covered. I'm running both Earthquake and Hi-Jump Kick as a double insurance on the steel factor (plus to deal with Electric types that otherwise I have no check to), as well as Rock Types which threaten two members of my team with no resists to support them. The real crux of this, however, is baton passing speed, and hopefully a Swords Dance to Cinccino. The lack of Protect means this may not happen more than once- but I opt for the sweep the first time around (albeit, late game, when I've already removed Cinccino's counters) by using Focus Sash (with no fear, thanks to Forretress spin support) to get a safe Swords Dance off. Sweep or Pass from there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xatu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And last but not least. Xatu provides great utility with Magic Bounce, and has deceptive staying power between its screens and Roost. Night Shade is augment to its lower attack power. The screens in particular really allow Xatu to support the rest of the team, however, usually in the form of giving Blaziken safer set up, and a safer pass to Cinccino. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A typical battle goes like this: Cinccino U-Turns to Forretress, Xatu or Chandelure depending on what counters the enemy lead. From there, I'll get Forretress up and hazards out as soon as possible, usually on a physical sweeper. After hazards are up, I'll stall for as long as I can with Forretress/Vaporeon/Xatu, but not hesitating to use Chandelure (or Blaziken if necessary) to take out anything I feel is getting in the way, or might stop Cinccino later. Once the enemy team is scouted and hopefully sufficiently torn up by the likes of Spikes and Stealth Rock, if Xatu is still able, I'll send it up to get a final hurrah of screens up. In comes Blaziken to set up, and pass to Cinccino for a strong finishing sweep. Cinccino's the Alpha and Omega, baby. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Importable ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
