  1. Just to put a stop to some of the statuses- Yes, the server is currently down. It's not under our control-- it's a problem on Showdown's end. They are currently working to fix it. As for registration, we continue to be told that server registration will be open in a few days. '-' Server is now online.
  2. I'm not so nice as to give players Drough Vulpix -and- a Fire Stone before the Bug Gym.
  3. it's true. i watch boys sleep for a living. but tbh i don't really understand why more game creators aren't involved in their communities, it's super healthy for the project and a lot of fun in itself
  4. Hi there. What's up. How ya doin'.
  5. PS itself appears to be having trouble presently. Other servers seem to be affected too (although not ALL others, oddly)

      I say they're doing it on purpose

  6. Or we can help him get started. 1- Breeding is when you put two Pokemon in the daycare so that they can have an egg together. This is actually a fairly complicated process so as Gaunt alludes to Bulbapedia is a great place to learn about the details of this. 2- Mm, sort of. A Pokemon caught at level 5 and raised to 50 will be stronger than a Pokemon caught at level 50 because hidden Effort Values, or EVs, gotten from KOing other Pokemon. But, when both Pokemon are trained up to have max EVs they can be of equal strength. Again, EVs are somewhat complicated (not as much so as breeding) and Bulbapedia will help you with the details. 3- Reborn does not have a wiki, and is not based on a certain version like Romhacks are. But in general we try to keep mechanics as up-to-date as possible. We have not been entirely successful at this, so there can be some oddities, but assume that we use the most recent generation's rules. 4- Natures raise one stat by a certain percentage at the cost of an equal percentage of another stat. You can actually see which stats are affected in-game. In the stats screen of the summary, the raised stat will have slightly red text, and the lowered stat will be in a faint blue. HP is not affected, but any other combination is possible, and some natures are neutral (do not affect stats). In general you want a nature that boosts your Pokemon's strongest point, for instance, if you have a very fast Pokemon, you would want a nature to boost their speed even more.
  7. Seven years ago a certain boy bought me a set of bangle bracelets. I made a mistake, and we both got hurt pretty badly. I've worn them like shackles every day since. Well, until recently. No points for guessing what kinds of crystals those are.
  8. They don't need to be nicknamed.
  9. Ah, actually section 2 probably refers to the dex number meaning that's Ivysaur. I'll post Reborn's Ivysaur entry for comparison. Note we have the hidden ability smooshed into the normal ability section because reasons
  10. Well... pretty much like it says, you'll need to take a look at your PBS/pokemon.txt file. Something was probably kerjiggled in there and ended up on the wrong line. See if you can find the incorrect entry (you know it's a Pokemon in the Monster and Grass egg groups) and compare it to the instructions for defining Pokemon from the Essentials wiki.
  11. Actually, blue moon ice cream is a real flavor. It -is- pretty hard to get even IRL though. I didn't even know about it until I had some in a dream once (and it was the best goddamn dream ice cream, let me tell you). Then I looked it up in the morning and discovered it was actually a thing. If it tastes anything like it did there... mmmm.
  12. Just because of the way it's set up, this idea isn't entirely practical off-hand. However, I agree with the sentiment about events. To compensate for this, as of E14 the Pokemon you get from eggs around the region hatch with some certain useful Egg Moves. I would -love- to do that with Event Pokemon as well, but there's a drawback. The only reason I can do that with the eggs is because they don't go to the box right away-- they have to be put into the player's party. Event Pokemon, however, can be sent to the box automatically, and I think most people will agree with me that making the player go deposit a Pokemon any time they want to pick up something new would be exceedingly tedious, and would actually probably result in a fewew number of new things being picked up. But if I don't make the player do that, I can't give them special moves. Soooo it's kind of a lose-lose...
  13. Unfortunately for the world, Ame is totally impulsive and once she gets excited about an idea she loses all sense of reason. I'm not going to promise to update this regularly or even finish it... But it might be fun to keep going every now and then. I'll also try and make it accessible to people who aren't fans of the DR series as is.
  14. It would have been different. With our custom shinies, one thing I've -mostly- maintained a habit of doing is making the shiny colors for Pokemon that get PULSE forms, match those forms. If you want an idea of what I had in mind for PULSE Camerupt, check out its shiny sprite, and imagine something a little more... infected, than that.
  15. ...does that mean there IS one? I was saying I should fix there not being one.
  16. Note to self, fix that...
  17. >if you don't mind putting SD off lol. It wouldn't make much of a game, but it might be fun to write as a non-canon story in my spare time.
  18. ......actually does it still count as fanfiction if the writer is the original creator too because i have a legitimately unhealthy obsession with this series and this sounds really fun
  19. speaking of dangan ronpa... i'll tell you what -i- want to see in the game in the future the 18 typed leaders each wake up one by one in an inescapable replica of the opal ward, having lost all memory of how they got there... they're only told that if they wish to leave they must graduate by killing another and getting away with it at the trial. upupupupupupu............ i mean, this isn't going to happen... but a girl can dream, right?
  20. ...actually i secretly converted to the cain fan club a little bit ago myself........... oops.
  21. I'd just like everyone to know Kuro is sooooo awesome and we should all praise xem.

  22. Moved. I don't think I need to say anything about this topic.
  23. YES HELLO NOW THAT I AM DONE WITH SPRITES I CAN DO MORE SPRITES All right, we're getting there. Firstly, I think we can get a bit more contrast within the shades of white we have there. Currently it seems kind of grey over all and it's hard to tell the shades apart. Also, as I've boxed out, we lose the definition on the outline, so now that we got the top of the outline set, we need to pull in a bit of a darker shade to the other bits of the outline of the white section to make it look crisp. With the plantish growth parts, we definitely got the moss color down, but I'm reconsidering the idea now since it clashes poorly. Once the white section is brighter (and whiter) we'll have some room for brightness, so let's try making those moss-segments a more vivid gold? Finally, what do you guys think about Regigigas' eye colors? We could go all white, all gold, we could use the Reborn colours again... I don't have strong feelings, but the three shades we've got in there now seem arbitrary. Thoughts? Heatran, Lickilicky, Lumineon, Drif-line, Mespirit saved. When I talk about contrast, it's the difference in value between shades. If we're increasing contrast, lighter shades should be lighter, and darker shades should be darker. Quite a bit more so still for both of the silver and gld here. In fact with the gold, you could also try leaving the lightest shade where it is currently and taking a new almost-white color and using it as a highlight, to make those metal bits look like they're reflecting light a bit. Same with the associated sprites. Combee, grumpy cat, Cranidos lines, Mismagius, Honchkrow, Munchlax saved. I think either of those Chatot options are good, and in sympathy to the unrelenting comments about "all Reborn shinies are black", I'm inclined to go with the parrotesque one. If there aren't any objections, I'll save that. Cherry line sprites are beautiful. I officially relent on the pachi concept, let's just go with a different suggestion. Rhyperior saved. I still like this Froslass best personally. If we're going to fo with this one we should fix up the outlines. The boxed areas are just examples of where the outline doesn't quite match, but it applies to much of the rest of the sprite as well. Make sure the outline around the silver part is also silver. As for the inner outline of the rings, that yellow color takes on a green tone, whereas the ring color was moving to orange, so the outline-yellow should lean towards orange rather than green The same is true of only the yellow-outline for the back sprite. Drapion line saved. We have a lot of Manaphys to pick from. I like the green one personally. Other thoughts? I prefer the non-inverted stunky line, mostly because it clashes with the face awkwardly on the others... but as was pointed out later, the lack of contrast in the white shades could be skewing that. In regards to dragon in nights stunk/glameow lines, remember that we can't use 1x resolution spriting. I.e any edits have to be done at 100% resolution, and then taken up to 200% effectively doubling the size of all pixels. Both the grumpy cat and the two-face cat use 1x spriting on the faces, and that won't work. However if we correct that issue, I think that rendition of grumpy cat is better than the existing ones, and we could prefer it. Obamasnow line saved; both campaigns won. Nsupem's Buizel line is great. Also taking the Spiritomb and Voltorb. The Regigas is interesting, and I'm not opposed to it but unless there's great favor for it I'd sooner stick to our themed one. Togekiss saved. I really like the varied-metal bronzong-- should we use the gold the silver bronzor with it? I'm thinking Silver. All of the Palkias look pretty good. I'm leaning towards the blue one to keep the reverse theme, but the third one is good too. Thoughts? I -really- like the Autumn torterra concept, even over the initial cherry blossom, or the stone ones. That version of Goku-Infernape is looking really nice to me too. I'd like to see those filled out for the rest of the line and backs and I'd have no reservations going with those. Garchomp I'm not sold on-- I think given the 'badass' nature of the pokemon, red/black will be more appealing to Garchomp fans. Bonsly and Mime Jr saved. Keep it up everyone! I'll update the list on the front once i get this all sorted, shouldn't be long
