Hey guys is king's rock available in 13.2?
Thanksss
-
In my second play through of Y the Bunnelby in the tutorial on to catch a pokemon was a shiny.
This was also the first ever shiny I encountered in the wild. The disappointment was real.
-
What about the possibility that the leak is fake?
It looks fake to me......
-
Has anyone seen that Darren Wilson has reportedly received injuries, including an optical fracture and a few other bruises, to suggest violence before the shooting?
I saw it on Fox, but I don't trust any news reports, especially when this issue is so heavily influenced by race and political sides.
Seems to me just like another classic political conflict, everyone is at fault no matter which way you slice it.
-
That's fair I agree with the decision.

Derp that was me

Hey guys, so I know I am not a very active member (I used to be more active more circa 2012, but I my life become very very hectic with jobs, school, etc.), but I am very excited for Poke-nations and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone more.
I am a competitive battler and I am not bad, I should be able to hold my own (especially with fairy type we lucked out with that).
I also won the league when I was more active if that says anything about my ability.
That being said GET PUMPED
I really really want to win guys, we gotta go all out.
Feel free to message me if you got questions or want to get to know me more. And I will definitely make an effort to be more active in order to support Lemuria (My vote for the name change is Aurora cause it just sounds BA)

Sad day I joined reborn because of the league
You were amazing, rip
I'll try out pokenation now, sounds like fun

In my opinion swagger should definitely be banned. If your opponent sends out Klefki or Sableye (especially Klefki) then your battle essentially turns into a coin flip simulator. Strategies relaying on luck defeat the purpose of competitive battling as the game is no longer competitive. I emphasized relaying because there are certain times when luck is a factor in competitive battling of course, but it becomes a whole different beast when you have a Pokemon that can abuse luck to an extreme.
Basically any physical attacker and frail special ones are swagger bait and the game essential becomes 50/50 to whether Klefki dies or the other Pokemon.
And forgive me because I am still not too familiar with the Gen 6 metagame, but how is Baton Pass broken? What happened this generation compared to others that could make it over centralize the metagame?
-
This is me praying that they don't cut a Awakening character for Ike
-
Kalos has dat giant gun.
They'd win with their doomsday device Dr. Strangelove style

Forgive me, I created a topic but didn't see one was already made ahem.
Introducing. Mega-Dewgong
Crying tears go happiness over its new Mega-Evolution, Dewgong rises up from the depths of NU and nearly forgotten to...
A giant Dewgong the size of Wailord!
Based on a Narwhal, Mega-Dewgong will have a giant horn and be the biggest Pokemon in existence.
Ability: Snow Warning
Stats:
HP:100
Att: 75
Def:100
SpA:100
SpD:100
Spd:100
That would be a pretty cool Mega.
-
What do you guys think of Sakurai stating that for online play on glory mode there will be only Final Destination versions of each stage?
It seems to me this would hamper a lot of characters who love platforms (aka Marth) and severely hamper some characters potential for online play. It would be like in Melee only having Final Destination, the amount of Foxes and Falcos you would see competitively would just be absurd.
-
Ohhhh man family problems, seems like almost everybody's got them.
Mine is just the stereotypical teenage problem where I want my independence but can't get it.
And fighting parents suck
-
My vote would be Swalot
Completely forgot this thing existed until I saw it
-
Sorry I have been asking location questions outside this forum, but I have another, where is Chikorita? It says it is available. And I am referring to Chikorita outside of starter choices. I was torn between it and Piplub and I want them both
-
Sorry I'm on a role asking questions right now. Choice scarf, band, and specs- think we will see these items at all, or anytime soon?
-
Ahh I'm so dumb, completely forgot about that chart thanks guys
-
Sorry if this has already been asked, but was Timburr included in episode 11? Has anyone seen one in the wild?
-
Oh in p4a I main Akihiko and Yosuke, and in smash 4 I intend to main Fox, Lil' Mac, Samus, Bowser, and Sheik
My aerodactyl nick name is Kravitz, I don't know mf doom, but my nickname for Noivern is Deltron, which is a hip hop referance too
You should check out MF Doom/ Madvillian he goes by those two names. Especially if you like comics, he puts a bunch of samples of old Fantastic Four cartoons in his music and it's really awesome. And my PSN name is duster_099, when I get back from school we should definitely play Persona 4 Arena, cause it's my favorite. I wish Yosuke was my main but he's so hard to use correctly, so I use Yu instead.
And that's a good suggestion for Smash Kams thanks a lot, I am going to test this team out on Aya tonight, so everyone wish me luck!
Thanks for all the help and suggestions!
-
What about Chrom from the newest Fire Emblem? I feel like this was a brain dead choice but not a lot of people are talking about him and he hasn't been announced yet.
-
I started the game earlier, but I didn't get very far and I want to restart just cause I hate the pokemon I have. I only beat Julia so after that I have no idea what will happen. Any advice? I have heard how difficult it is and I am honestly pretty worried that I am going to screw myself over if I don't make the right choices. I am about to pick a starter and I am trying to choose between Froakie, Mudkip, and Chimchar, as they are all my favorites.
So basically, is there anything I should be careful of? Any pokemon that will help me early? What do I need to succeed in the world of Reborn?

Second Chances
Duster's second challenge of The Reborn League
Hello everyone. Duster is here. If you don't know me you may have seen my picture on the wall of fame. I won the league smack dap in the middle of Gen 5, although I never completed the X League. After Gen 6 came out, I wanted to re-challenge the League with all the fantastic new pokemon (ahem Protean Greninja), and see how the League has changed in a year.
To go into more detail about myself, I have been gone for about a year due to school and other stress related reasons, and Reborn has changed a lot in this time (all in good ways). Some of my good friends on the site were Dark Desire and Kamina, and I posted my return in the ace forums, and many suggested that I post more to be involved in the community. I plan to use this RMT as help for my League team, but also as a get-to-know type of section. You'll see what I mean when you scroll down to the RMT. Anyway, let's get started!
At a Glance
I always liked teams with a good balance of offense and bulk for the League. I have some fairly bulky pokes with Aegislash, Scrafty, Venusaur, Arcanine, and Aerodactyl and Greninja are my two speedsters. This balanced approached allows flexibility and some good options for multiple leaders teams. Also the synergy here is great. Aegislash and Scrafty have a great core, Aegislash stops fairies that Scrafty hates, and Aegislash stops the flying and fighting types that Scrafty strongly dislikes. Venusaur, Arcanine, and Greninja have a FWG core, and Greninja stops the psychic types that Venusaur wants to avoid. Aerodactyl is just a great supporter and has STAB rock-slide for double and triple battles. Anyways, on with the analysis, and er the getting to know me part!
Team/Duster Analysis
The nature/EVs will most likely change per leader, but I will put the ones that I will most likely be using for most situations
Smash (Greninja)
Ability: Protean
Nature: Timid/Modest
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Sp Attack/ 252 Speed
Moveset
-Surf
-Dark Pulse
-Ice Beam
-U-Turn/ Extrasensory/ Grass Knot
Ah Super Smash Brothers, how to describe how much I love you. I have been playing since I was a kid, and I just started getting the competitive Melee scene over the past couple months, and I am hoping to break out once Smash 4 comes out. Once the 3DS version is released I expect everyone who plays to give me their friend code and we will have hours of For Glory matches. I will be maining Greninja because- A) He is amazing.
He is my favorite starter. And C). He looks like he will be a competitive force to be reckoned with.But to begin, Smash (Greninja) is a badass. Getting STAB on everyone of his attacks just screams to be used in the League. He hits the majority of leaders super effectively, and he gets two multi targeting moves for triple and double battles. Ice Beam is a no brainer, but the last moveslot is the one I am having trouble with. U-Turn seems like it would be great in singles, but useless in double and triple battles. Extrasensory isn't a great type to get STAB on, but it could help with some strong fighting types that might give him trouble. Grass knot is purely for bulky waters. Thoughts?
Hakuman (Aegislash)
Ability: Stance Change
Nature: Quiet
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Attack/ 252 Sp Attack
Moveset:
-King's Shield
-Shadow Ball
-Iron Head
-Shadow Sneak
Hakuman represents my love for BlazBlue and other 2D fighting games such as Persona 4 Arena and King of Fighters. This summer I am planning on buying the new one BB, and then I will wreck with my main man Bang. Yes, Hakuman isn't my main, but hey he was the closest fit to Aegislash as the cool armored knight looking guy, so don't get mad. PSN names anyone for Chronophantasma?
I opted for the mixed attacking set over the Sword Dance because frankly I think it is better, but especially better for the League. I also chose Iron Head over Sacred Sword because I need to take out fairies for Scrafty. Shadow Ball is the main move of choice, and if I just spam it along with King's Shield then there isn't going to be much in the way
that can take this thing except for bulky normals… This is where Scrafty comes in.
MF Doom (Scrafty)
Abilities: Intimidate/ Moxie/ Shed Skin
Nature: Adamant/ Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Att/ 252 Speed
Moveset:
-Dragon Dance
-Rock Slide
-Drain Punch/ Hi Jump Kick
-Crunch
Anyone here listen to hip-hop? I am just a huge music fan of all genres, feel free to talk to me about any bands or artists you like. I love MF Doom, he is my all time favorite hip-hop artist. And yes, he is wearing a Dr. Doom mask. The story behind his mask is that his twin brother died when Doom was just starting making music under a different name. After this tragic event he secluded himself and came out as a "supervillian." He adopted this persona of MF Doom, and he wears this mask to all his shows and when making music. Anyway his rhymes are super awesome so if you like music/rap and haven't heard of this guy check him out.
Scrafty is a boss. Three great abilities that all can serve a purpose in the League. Intimidate is great for double and triple battles, Moxie is perfect for sweeping, and Shed Skin can be used for a leader trying to stall me. He is my only sweeper on my team, but I feel like I only need one because most battles are double or triple battles. His moveset is a pretty standard sweeping set. Rock Slide is important, again, for double and triple battles. Dark is such a great STAB this gen so Crunch is necessary. I'm debating whether to go with power in Hi Jump Kick or Drain punch for longevity, probably the later to avoid the dangerous recoil, but any suggestions would be nice.
Socrates (Venusaur)
Abilities: Overgrow/ Chlorophyll
Nature: Modest/ Timid/ Calm/ Bold
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Sp Att/ 252 Speed
Or
4 Sp Att/ 252 HP/ 252 Defense (or Sp Defense)
Moveset:
-Sunny Day
-Sleep Powder
-Giga Drain
-Sludge Bomb/ HP Fire
Okay so I am weird. I like school (kinda), philosophy really. I want to teach it when I am older, you know do the whole professor thing and teach a subject that doesn't matter that much in real world application. But hey I like it, so f*** people who tell me I am not going to get a job. Socrates also started the entire philosophical movement and Bulbasaur is the first Pokemon on the Pokedex, so he kinda started the whole Pokemon movement. Hurray for symbolism!
Venusaur is probably the most diverse pokemon on my team. He is a supporter with Sunny Day for Arcanine, he can sweep with chlorophyll, or he can go bulky and simply put pokemon to sleep with sleep powder. His typing is also fantastic and along with Aegislash he glues this whole team together. Giga Drain is for pseudo recovery, and I am not exactly sure what to put for the second attacking slot. Sludge Bomb gets STAB and is stronger, but HP Fire makes sure he isn't walled by Steels, and it gets pseudo STAB in sun. I kinda need help with this one so any suggestions would be nice.
Koromaru (Arcanine)
Abilities: Intimidate/ Flash Fire/ Justified
Nature: Adament/ Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Attack/ 252 Speed
Moveset:
-Heat Wave
-Flare Blitz
-Extremespeed
-Close Combat/ Wild Charge
Koromaru represents my love for the Persona series. Yes, I know Persona is super popular on the site, but I love Persona just as much as everyone else. Koromaru is the dog in Persona 3 that has a persona and helps you fight against shadows. Koromaru was a perfect choice for Arcanine. They both are head strong and have a strong sense of justice. Koromaru's persona is also based off fire so win/win. Side note, those who are here is excited for Persona 5 be even more excited it looks amazing.
Arcanine is a great pokemon. Great offensive move pool and mixed attacking stats. Heat wave hits multiple targets, Flare Blitz is a powerhouse behind his strong attack, Extremespeed is a crazy good priority move. I am thinking close combat for the last slot so he won't get walled by Rock types, but I already have a Scrafty for fighting. I have no electric type move on my team, and without Wild Charge he would be walled by bulky waters. Suggestions here would be great. Arcanine's abilities are also fantastic. He gets a intimidate core in Scrafty, he also has immunity to fire moves with Flash Fire.. Justified can be used against Luna and get an attack boost from it.
Michael Scott (Aerodactyl)
Abilities: Rock Head/ Unnerve
Nature: Adamant/ Jolly
EVs: 4 HP/ 252 Attack/ 252 Speed
Moveset:
-Taunt
-Roost
-Earthquake
-Rock Slide
The Office gets funnier and funnier every time I watch it. It probably is my all time favorite, I haven't laughed as hard ever as I watched some of these shows. There is no reason why I am naming Aerodactyl Michael Scott except for I think it is hilarious. I am going end on a Michael Scott quote. Yes, it is true. I, Michael Scott, am signing up with an online dating service. Thousands of people have done it, and I am going to do it. I need a username. And I have a great one. Little Kid Lover. That way people will know exactly where my priorities are at.
This is the one pokemon I would probably change if someone gave me a good argument to get rid off it. Aerodactyl is the perfect pokemon in double and trible battles. Unnerve stops berries from working, he is super duper fast, rock slide gets a STAB mulit hit move, Earthquake can be used in conjunction with Aegislash and King's Shield. Taunt is necessary to stop some leaders strategies. Roost is just to heal. But I still don't like Aerodactyl on this team quite truthfully. He will not be able to do much in singles, and I prefer a more balanced pokemon.
I hope you guys got to know me a little better and I hope anyone has comments they can share with me to improve my team!

GRENINJA IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME
I did not expect this at all. I am very excited to see how he/she will turn out as character, definitely looks like a total badass.
(Still waiting for Lloyd Irving though, because you know one Bandai Namco character needs to be in the game)
A True Baller more powerful than Gyarados
in Reborn City
Posted
As someone who used Clefable in-game with a moveset of stored power, charge beam, moonlight, and cosmic power I can say that it is the most powerful Pokemon in my possession. I eventually had to deposit it because I could sweep every gym leader with a few turns of setting up and the game posed no challenge.
