Reasons for those characters to become our rivals:

Victoria: "I have to hone my skills in order to protect those I care the most; be that fellow students of Apophyll or friends outside of it. MC is not only a dear friend of mine, helping whether I was in trouble, but also with a honest heart, they assist everyone who need help, be that ally or foe. They truly impress me, and I'm certain they'll help me reach new levels..."

Cain: "I still can't find my place in the world. Unable to face the difficulties, I've been running away from problems and duties, covering my fears with jokes, songs and light-headed attitude. But MC... MC know their goals; they know what they want to do and where to go. And they're relatable, friendly, understanding and quite~ cute. I hope they'll help me in finding out where I belong..."

Fern: 

Seriously, gender balancing is truly awful.

Man... How I wish to be a part of Pokemon Online League when it was still existing. It looked so fun!

Either as a challenger or as a Gym Leader, doesn't matter - it would love to interact with all the League Representatives and/or fellow challengers, while honing my skills.

I... I do realize that I'd be crushed, pummeled and tenderized by basically anyone back then because I SUCKED back then (my first even Pokemon gameplay; in FireRed; consisted of 4 Flying types, 2 of them being x4 weak to Rock, and movesets like they were taken from Gen 1, like Charizard knowing Flamethrower, Fire Blast and Blast Burn... plus I didn't care about stats of Pokemon, only moves, and back then status moves for me were more than useless) 

But now, being much more experienced and seemingly more talented... I think... I could have a chance of getting at least half of the Badges, with a glimpse of defeating Champion, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, becoming Gym Leader myself. 

The last part woulda be very fun; like an soccer superstar on giant stadium filled to brim, people would want to see and interact with me, and have a shot at challenging myself. 

Of course, it's not about fame or glory, but having the opportunity to meet many new, interesting people and having the chance to become stronger. 

Don't worry, I'll be keeping kayfabe alive. I'm not a loose cannon. 

My fresh year in college is basically over. Finally, that was one hell of a ride; an emotional ride, and not necessarily in a good sense. 

But now I have over 3 months for myself; I can finally start repairing garages, picking up strawberries, riding bike for hours, and... actually begin learning how to sprite. 

I finally want to make some actual progresses for the game, and not just "writing storylines and designing characters in my head". Still, programming and music will be difficult, both for my allies and myself, but I'm not going to drop the project because of minor inconveniences. 

But, to be fair, I don't say the game will be completed in a month or a few, even if we started right away and we all knew how to program, sprite, design, and everything. It's gonna take years - Reborn was created by literally hundreds of people in the span of over 10 years. 

But, like I said, neither I nor they are going anywhere... maybe in a year or less there will be some demo of the first few chapters~, who knows...

"Yes, yes, I killed your father. What is it with you, woman, anyway? 

I killed my father too, and you don't hear me whining about it!"

People: "Champions are God-like human beings with immense power, impregnable defenses and unshakable will. Only the very few are equal to them both in combat and in wisefulness" 

Champions: 

I am starting to think, since my 1st year of college is about to end, so I'll be stress-free...

...should I begin a Nuzlocke? 

I've never played a Nuzlocke, despite playing Pokemon games for 6-7 years. The main reason is because I tend to get emotionally attached to Pokemon, and just thinking about them dying causes a emotional distress. 

But, on the other side, Nuzlockes are a good way to test one's capabilites in Pokemon games and testing their skills and thinking. 

I was wondering if I should do it, and write down the relation of the events here. I don't know which game I'd like to do; but I'm leaning towards the mainline games, since I'm not a masochist :) 

You may suggest the game to play. 

I was checking Reborn Wiki for my little "project" and... 

Cass, if you see this, I just wanna say... "You rock! "

Oh my Arceus... Was I truly able to create 40 characters for fanmade game, with, like, only 4 existing beforehand, which are modified OCs of my real-life friends?

I know you couldn't care less... but I had to "brag" about it somewhere, you know...  The more I think about it, the more I hope that the dream will come true, and the more I pursue in creation. 

Fortunately, I'm not alone - there are a few of us out there: some do more, some do less, but all do something. The day the first chapters are released, may be the happiest day of my life.

But I know from experience that rushing is a bad way of creating; masterpieces take even years to create (Reborn took a whole decade to fully complete, and it's not perfect yet because of various cats in the game). Still, no need to worry as the world isn't about to end soon, is it?  ...well, as someone who lives in Poland has all the reason to be afraid for the life, but my friends taught me not to be pessimistic and ultra-realistic/paranoid 24/7/365

So, a lesson for me, and you - be happy, and try to think that the next day will be at least as good as the previous one. Which isn't gonna happen, but maybe... maybe...

You know what would be truly hilarious...? 

If in the game there was an Easter Egg where there's a secret room with devs (before the possibly of actually meeting and challenging them) who were talking about some projects or life... but each one in their own, native language. 

And, just like in Tekken, everyone would understand each other and continue like nothing happened. 

That would work if every person in the said room was from different nation, and no two selected people would speak the same laungage. Also bonus points if the spoken laungage isn't some who is spoken by large masses and is common like English, Spanish, French, Italian etc. 

Maybe some like: Hungarian, Swedish, or some "exotic" ones like Hebrew, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese (so those who use different alphabets than Latin or Cyrillic, which are the most common ones used in Europe and American continents) 

I don't know, but it'd be unusual... and hilarious. 

I've never noticed it before... but seeing how Tyranitar can be dangerous on Glitch Field, it truly comes as a surprise how versatile this Pokemon is. 

Why, you ask? Because I have just recently realized, while playing some competitive, how Tyranitar's special bulk might come onto play. But step by step: 

• Tyranitar has 100 Base Special Defense, which equals to a maximum of 328.
• Thanks to Sand Stream, its' Special Defense is increased by 50%, as a nature of being a Rock type
• Assault Vest also increases Special Defense by 50%, but wearer can use attacks (which isn't a issue in Tyranitar's case as it don't have any reliable status move that increases Special Defense or such) 
• That makes its' Special Defense (and therefore a Special Attack as well) an astounding 738! For comparison, Mega Mewtwo Y's Special Attack caps at 535, barring any stat changes. 
• Tyranitar also has powerful Special movepool with:
  • Flamethrower/Fire Blast 
  • Thunderbolt/Thunder 
  • Ice Beam/Blizzard 
  • Dragon Claw/Outrage (which are Special on Glitch Field) 
  • Surf

Honestly, I've gotta check and try if my theory is true. If yes, then I'm much better battle-designer than I thought I was

I'm so ashamed of not realizing that up until now! 

Gen 9 will introduce the first region with TWO primary professors. Of course, there were regions with more professors (Unova had Aurea, Cedric and Fennel; Alola had Kukui, Burnet and Samson; and Galar had Magnolia, Sonia and Hop {to some degree}). But only 1 of them was the main one, while the new one will have two. 

We don't know if they will be version-exclusive or be in the same game but one of them is going to be our mentor and the other not, but we know that their names are Sada and Turo. 

And only now have I realized that their names come from Spanish words "pasada" and "futuro", which mean "past" and "future" respectively, with the first one being used in "feminine" form and the other in "masculine", since in Spanish nouns (and adjectives) have two forms, if they can refer to either masculine or feminine objects. And that matches well since Sada is a beautiful, wild female, and Turo is a hot, chad man. 

Still... I feel stupid for not realizing that despite being learnt Spanish for 6 whole years!
