Glad you came back. For the record, regarding those circumstances, we no longer allow that sort of thing to be encouraged publicly. Hopefully that should be some moderate form of ease.

I'm a fan of this sort of thing myself, but I don't want to go -too- crazy with field creation stuff. Mist was -almost- over-stepping it IMO. That said, I do like the idea of people having these sorts of options to play with, so in E15 the Pledge Moves are available much earlier, opening up more access to the Burning, Swamp and Rainbow fields. Not entirely sure how easily Swamp will be to abuse, but hey. Might be worth something. As a semi-related note, our assistant developer Inuki had a fun little idea he played around with implementing in a self-modded branch of Reborn, where every single field could be created with the combination of the move Magic Room being used while holding a certain item. So for instance the Glitch Field might be created by a Pokemon holding a Data Chip and using Magic Room. It was fun, but a bit ridiculous.

Hear me, feeble mortals, for our masters have chosen me as the vessel through which they will speak to you: The afoxalypse has begun. Despair.

Cynthia, fo sure. Perhaps largely because I love the piano theme that plays right before her battle, but she's also the only champion who I distinctly remember first facing.

If you could be any pokemon who would you be?
Amethyst replied to Fuchsia's topic in Pokémon Fan Club
obvs gardevoir, so of course I need a trainer to protect. <3 -
Unfortunately it's apparently an -effective- business model as Nintendo has openly said they intend to continue moving this direction in ordinance with the market adapting to mobile gaming and microtransactions. That's really off-putting for me as someone who isn't interested in those sorts of experiences, and as a designer who favors traditionally more-involved and extensive gameplay.

...As IF! <3 Everything will be restored tomorrow, but if you happen to need the currently inaccessible 14.1.1 download links in the meantime, here they are: Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Mirror 3

I've been had. I saw your user name and got super excited because I had an old friend/mod on my old site who went by Sir Isaac and though she'd come back. I think there are a couple people here who would still remember her... Alas. Anyway, welcome regardless!

what have i done

Favorite Reborn soundtracks? Also a question about the artists
Amethyst replied to Monochrome_Complex's topic in Reborn City
The sound file is slowed down by the game engine itself to get the tone I wanted for the area, so there isn't a different file. -
Pickup is receiving changes again with E15. The table has already been updated.
-
It had already been reverted, yes. Although the goal with that change was not to increase difficulty, but to make mining the main heart-scale-getting method. The appearance rate for mining heart scales was increased at the same time the rate was lowered. But, I suppose at this point it doesn't matter anymore.

My mom was a school teacher and, (idk why but) one day she rented the VHS of the first few Pokemon anime episodes to show to her class. I had gone with her to her school that day for some reason (might've been too sick to go to my own class or leave at home or something) and first saw the series there.. And decided that it was stupid and I hated it. Mostly because it was way too mainstream. Six year old Ame was a hipster. A hipster before being a hipster was cool, even. Get on my level. ...Anyway, then it became super popular at my school too, and I was really annoyed because I didn't see how anyone could like those weird creatures and the boys in my class kept writing dumb Pokemon stories for weekly story-sharing and I was just really over hearing about it and wanted it to go away. Then over the next summer a friend I'd made back in preschool moved near me and we hung out one day. He had Blue version and let me play it a little bit. He was just going through Viridian Forest for the first time and when I was playing it I happened to find and catch a Pikachu, one of the few Pokemon I really knew. So I was really excited about that for some reason and made my dad run out and by me the game the next day. And it was really just all over for me from there.

like i set this pic myself... stupid change other user's pic item, grumble grumble Reborn already survived the jump from 5th to 6th generation... I strongly agree with the sentiment that fan-games without recent generations feel much less... less. But, spriting 6th gen was a headache and a half and we only just got all the scripting implentations from that done. If Gen 7 is fairly light, which I doubt it will be, it may be possible, but I'm certainly not going to promise anything- especially if the game has been completed. At the -very least- I will leave the project open to community mods. If a 7th-gen mod project gets to a polished enough state, then I won't mind adding it to the main download.
-
oh yeah. that's a thing. sure.
-
hoo did this
-
Way ahead of you. For good. That is arguable, and while that was the original plan, I'm going back on it a bit -at least- for the time being. I won't say that I'll never make small-scale fields.
-
you people are ridiculous. i mean welcome back and all but you're still ridiculous.
-
"IM NEW TO THE SITE" SAYS THE FORMER ADMIN. welcome back, goofball.
-
This is fairly accurate. The 15% was the initial concept of their effects. The next 15% was the graphics. Each completed field will be another 10% and then the last 10% is the documentation. orly. Noel's keeping the Grassy Field. I'd like to do an Urban Field, but there's just not enough that it would impact without -really- trying too hard, so I don't intend to go through with it.
-
Their names are changed. As if I'd find so many perfect type-pun names. Most of them I only know online. I've met a few of them IRL though.

It's about time Lux got some love. I'd strongly support Chalice over Tear in any matchup. Lux's cooldowns are long so you can't spam anything to charge tear. Plus, because of that she benefits a lot from having the CDR. Chalice is made for her. LeBlanc may be able to dodge skill shots, but Lux can be good against her because of her wave-clear. Shoving her in early will make the lane rough for LB; then it's just a matter of not over-extending when she can combo you. I haven't really played the last few patches but Luden's Echo is a movement speed item, right? Going that before Deatchap is probably a good idea because, firstly, Deathcap is often cautioned against as a first-big AP item buy since its passive is a multiplier. The item's value is higher when you have more AP later in the game. Secondly, Lux benefits greatly from movement speed for kiting and positioning. In fact her base movement speed was one of the things they nerfed on her previously to bring her down from top-tier. Therefore, Grail > Luden should be an ideal path.

Braixen was so beautiful. And then Delphox was... ...not.

Point taken, we're pretty much done here. Thanks everyone!
