It's happening~~~
Reborn's Showdown server is up and ready for action! You can find it linked from both the site and forums, as well as at http://reborn.psim.us/ or http://www.pokemonreborn.com/battle/
It'll be the the same old Reborn, but on a brand new system. It may take some adjusting for veterans of PO (jk I've been on PO for four years now and this is an easy change)- but it's also bringing with it a bit of new functionality.
For instance-- permanent rooms! We're handling this a bit differently since, once created, rooms won't just go away. Anyone is free to buy themselves a ticket to their own permanent room of choice and ownership thereof, available now from the Site Shop. But that isn't the only thing Showdown's bringing to the counter-- also in the shop, you can now purchase a completely custom avatar for yourself to use on our showdown server! This can be from your Trainer Card, one you made yourself, or something else entirely!
To accommodate Showdown's debut in Reborn, the Site Shop has been absolutely loaded up for both of these deals, but there is still the chance that the goods will go fast, so snag yours before the going's gone, and join us on the server now.
I will keep the PO server up for a few days more but once everything is stable and set to transition, it will be going to sleep for good.
Also huge shout-out to Kupo of The Battle Tower and Sciz of PokemonDB.net's Showdown Server! They were both a huge help in getting this set up.
