I must be honest - I hella respect that project; extremely good. Might be the best out there, from all of them. I'd love to be involved, but...... I'm afraid I don't have any "artistic" talent: 6-year olds draw better than me, my music hearing is unexistant, and... I, from some time, am trying to do some VAing, yet I don't believe I'm good enough at it. While my friends say I'm not "half-bad", I believe I would just ruin the immension. The problem is that my acting voice is... too calm. I can't send out stronger emotions like anger, despair, crying without having my voice be more silent, changing or cracking on its own, or all at once! Yeah, in Reborn there are characters who are calm and collected almost all the time, like Radomus, Solaris... but I don't think that would work. Also, I don't possess any good stuff for voice acting; plus I doubt my family would accept it - they love to restrict everything I do; going as far as to limit my studying, despite it being the only way to catapult myself right to freedom and independence. And I believe what I have right now is only changing my voice... very much - so much that it doesn't sound like me at all (unless I do have bad hearing) The only "artistic talent" I possess is storytelling... yet I don't believe I'm good at it too - in comparison to Ame, Jan and the rest of devs from Reborn and Rejuvenation. While the readers question it, saying that I add the deep into the story and the characters (which I sometimes agree; having Noel breakdown in the middle of the Gym Battle with protag because the fight looked basically the same as with Connal, where Noel was constantly countered, despite his best efforts, and causing some kind of trauma... that was kinda cool), quite funny moments (like, according to readers, that moment when protag was blocked by one of the Meteor Dames, but she didn't realize that behind her was Gyarados belonging to her enemy, which immediately devoured her, burping out wings and a piece of uniform) and my character (OC) is perhaps one of the best out there (they say him being one of the very few Pokemon "protagonists" who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and is full of personality; not linear, but complex - one time jovial and friendly, and the other time brutal, relentless and strict - also with equally complex and tragic backstory). Still, I am basically using someone else's project and "upgrading" it. Y-yeah, it's different at points with interesting twists, some new characters and events and old one being expanded, but most of the plot points remain mostly the same... except the moment protagonist kills Elias in the Citadel. But still, I'm not exactly sure if I should be proud of it or not A-anyways, I do hope your project will become viral, and maybe, with a piece of luck, some studio will product some massive anime adaptation. It ain't much but it'sa honest work. I'll be looking at your career with great interest.

Yes, but the usage comes from the mentioned things. Usage is not just a random number, after all

So what...? They could be freakin' Ubers, that doesn't change anything. As I said here earlier, even the strongest will lose to the weakest, if they keep underestimating the enemy. What if Kenan's team has great synchronization, excellent EV/IV spread, benefitting Field, and moves working under it? He could be prepared, to kick your ass as a revenge for what happened in Fiore Mansion. Also, in case you didn't know, Smogon tiers are not about Pokemon's power (mostly), but compatiblilty, adaptability and synchronization with the rest of the tier. Otherwise, how would you explain Parasect being in the UBERS TIER in Gen 4, huh? In addition to that, back when I was playing in Gen 7 OU online metagame, my team had an Eeleekross, which might be the most successful member of my team, next to aces - Mega Tyranitar and Hydreigon. Yes, I used Mega T-tar in Gen 7 OU. And if opponent didn't have a counter; 99% = gg. In summary, don't praise the day before dusk. And, if I may, I'll quote one of my favorite texts in Pokemon:

I often forget that they are Legendary. To me they are discount Arceus - both lore and gameplay-wise

Heck. Every regular Pokémon is available one way or another in V18. But the only Legendary, Mythical and Ultra Beasts available right now are Phione, Poipole and Naganadel (and maybe Manaphy, but I'm not sure)

... I've written it here too... somewhere. Maybe I didn't mention POL specifically, because I thought people would get what I mean - most of the characters and events that happen in Reborn are taken from real life; from real people (excluding those who are connected to a bit more recent Team Meteor actions)

They are the only logical living choice, expect the protag. Elias is the defacto leader of the Reborn Elite Four, and Solaris is a Champion-class Trainer, both in power and experience. They, while challenging Lin, give her a bit of a trouble, especially Solaris, whos ace has PULSE2 - the thing that make her Hydreigon so incredibly invincible. And in lore PULSE2 is even more broken than in game. And I still hope that after battle, Lin will be shown to be nice, kind person (just a little misguided or manipulated) and we'll become besties, with Team Meteor not being actually disbanded, but serving as a League Stuff. I know this is a lot of hopium, but hey - it would be at least interesting

She has rather everything under control... as of right now. So she might think every action goes according to the plan. Keeping cold, static, emotionless and collected attitude helps in upholding the image of the truly perfect plan. But do you know who also was like that...? Cyrus and Ghetsis. Neither of them have the all aphromentioned skills and characteristics: Cyrus is more cold, emotionless and collected, Ghetsis is more about collected and genius whos plan goes usually perfectly. But what happens to them when their plans foil...? Complete breakdown! Cyrus was shouting and being furious about his lose, while Ghetsis lost his mind... twice. Despite Lin not being a human, she does have some human personality values, and it is not impossible for her to do a 180 when the plan she has been working on for so long and so precisely, ultimately falls. I'd definitely be furious if I was her.

Other than he's lovable and chaotic goofball that might be one of the fan favorites next to Cain, Taka, Radomus and Shelly? Nothing, I think. But... I didn't know POL existed until it was long over. But some of the stories from it are depressing, tragic... and some completely hilarious There's a chance he is a completely unique character - based on no particular person, like ZEL, Sirius, Taka and Solaris

I've never said it has to be "over-the-top" theme. But just something that doesn't have the tempo of a lullaby. Something that can actually hype you up. And the progression of hype in the themes of Team Meteor exists: Grunts -> Agents -> Admins/Commanders -> Solaris. I don't care what theme or remix does it sound like, but if doesn't suit at all... I might be a little frustrated, and load that frustration on the game, by trying to make Lin as much of a joke as possible. You say that like you knew how she truly is. That is only her exterior behavior. Actually, it is unknown how she truly acts. That was a mystery back in the 1st Season, when Lin was the Champion. Amethyst has never said to anyone outside of the challengers who defeated her how actually she behaves. And since the personalities of the characters based on Gym Leaders, Elite Four and Champions of the POL are based on them (to some degree, because I doubt Titania and Saphira were actually killing people), after the final battle, we might see true Lin. She might be furious and throw temper tantrum, and keep blaming everyone and everything around... or she may be like "Wow, you're incredibly powerful. Good job, Trainer", and accept the loss. I want honestly to see that nice Lin just accepting the fate, and maybe becoming friends - despite her actions causing the death of hundreds, if not thousands - and see her in the postgame, maybe fighting even side-by-side. If you think that's impossible... Recall that Lin is particularly pleasant to Terra - the most chaotic and destructive of all Agents, and maybe one of the most hated (mainly for those who have to clean up her mess)

Hadn't this theme been used for Meteor Commanders in the previous versions before they switched to the current one? I think that might be the case. Also... I do not agree with Cyrus' or Rose's remixes being there as they are too... "calm". The "motive" for Team Meteor's battle themes are that they start out peacefully, have rather slow build-up, then the truly energetic part comes up. The mentioned themes aren't bad by any means, but there is no... how should I say it......... There isn't enough dynamic energy in them, ok? This is supposed to be the final battle; the final clash; for the sake of the universe, if not the Multiverse! The theme HAS TO reflect it! It would be a waste if the theme for Lin was "Gym Leader-like, but darker", and it would be truly anticlimactic.

I meant that GameFreak created a three-stage battle with NO healing in-between. None at all. Hot chip? Wait... searches "Hot Chip" on Google No. Not the band. searches "Hot Chip food" instead... Aaaaaaaa... Hope that Lin doesn't realize that. Because if she does, you're a dead man. But if it ends up in that way, you ultimately win, as the burn was hotter than Magcargo's body.

GameFreak would like to have a word with you. First phrase is a sheer suffering through Lin and her 99,7% win rate. Second phrase is player going on her like: "lol no get rekted". Like in major plot battles in Rejuvenation later in the story (AoD Gardevoir for example) get out. Lin actually wants to annihilate our universe and create a new one. Why? I was never actually said. Meteor Grunts say that she has promised them new, better life in the New World - united with the friends, family and others who are no longer among living. But we perfectly know all she can do is lie (and kill), so I question that motive. I think she simply wants to be an ultimate God - an existence above all else.

No one has said it has to be second phrase without healing. That second phrase could be just protag flexing thier power on Lin and showing how useless she and her plans are, as nothing is stronger than power of friendship, plot armor and full restore spam.

Eventually something with a "victorious" vibe, but not exactly. Because that special theme from Rejuvenation when plays for second phrase of battles with Angel of Death or Puppet Master is too "victorious". Something like: - VS Galar Champion Leon - VS Raiden Shogun (Electro Archon Ei): Phrase 2 (Genshin Impact) - The Grand Finale/Final Battle (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story/Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam) But that kind would suit more in her "second phrase" - when she unleashes what has left, yet you still have the upper hand

I associate that more with Rejuvenation. I'd personally choose that theme: https://youtu.be/_t10vb_3yGk

Everyone who shiny-hunted in UWs in Alola games:

Porygons (he may have both Porygon2 and PorygonZ, as both bevahe completely different) and Rotom is understable. Metagross is an iffy one, since I still think this is Radomus' defacto ace - whether Gardevoir is explicitly his or just with him is an on-going debate, so I cannot say. Xurkitree is an overkill. Unless in the final chapters, it would've been unfair.

I said it! I predicted it! I knew someone was gonna say it sooner or later! Right here: https://www.rebornevo.com/forums/profile/100094-oscarus/ I don't know if that was a joke, honesty or simple annoyance, but I knew someone would ask.

Okay. To ensure this train doesn't derail, I ask... What do you think? How would Ace's (that new Meteor Agent) team look like?

I think Celine was the one to establish Aevium Pokemon League and stand on top as Aevium Grand Champion. Yet, somehow, we never saw her in person. That may be the way to "introduce" her. Whether her children will be with her or not, that's not important. Damien is basically adult in Reborn, while Alexandra is close to maturity. They could deal on thier own

That would be quite cute... and terryfing. And if that ever happens - don't make her come even close to Julia or Terra; only Arceus knows what will happen if both parties team up...
