What is your main team and how many hours do you have of gameplay
tails12 replied to Rainlove's topic in Reborn City
Here is my team with about 116+ hours of gameplay. Some spent on grinding in an earlier episode. I'm coming from a time where I started around v8, and would thus explain why I have Gengar and Magmortar on the same team, despite Magmortar finally being available now. I don't care so much about having 5 or 6 IV Pokemon as some others do. I usually challenge myself, a bit, with a first run in Pokemon games by the following: 1) Your starter must be in your final party. (Starting in Gen V era, Empoleon was appealing given the Dark and Ghost resistance back then. Made Serra and Shade a bit easier...) 2) Once I'm set on a team of six from early on in the game, see how far I can go with it (currently the team above, may change one or two slots as the final Pokemon become available). I don't really force myself to do Nuzlockes or monotype runs, but I like seeing how to handle challenges with what I've got. Makes things a little more interesting. Some gyms have been really easy for me over the course of the game; e.g. pre-Serra, Ciel, Adrienn, and Samson. Yet, some have been difficult; e.g. pre-Charlotte (*twitches*), Aya, and probably Terra using those Gen 1 rules. It's been quite a ride so far for me, looking forward to see what challenges and additions I will face in E17-E19. If Titania is next, I may have to find a temporary replacement for Crobat... -
The fact that Reborn is more difficult than the main games makes it an interesting choice for many gamers. Prior to some of the recent episodes, some leaders were extremely difficult not including the hardcore mod. With the league based on the actual league that existed here, stronger teams are to be expected. I had fought Shelly before she became a doubles battle so I can't weigh in on what's good for her now. However, you need to look at the environment you are dealing with. You can't go in expecting to win with Pokemon that are all advantageous to the gym leader's type. The teams in Reborn are designed to test your skill as a trainer and be able to work out a fullproof battle strategy to overcome them. The field effects provide another angle of attack as well. Learn the gym leader's Pokemon and learn the field they use. Then you can formulate your own battle plan, train the necessary Pokemon, and execute it.

[E16 Spoilers] If you're having trouble with the gym, here's my suggestion.

I had fun with both Excadrill and Crobat here. Dealing with the Intimidate can be annoying, but lining up the attacks is well worth it. Ever since Fairy type has come into play, I haven't had as much appreciation for the Crobat line or for some poison types in the past. -

I think the reference was there in the first place was because of Mysidia being an affiliated site with Reborn or something like that quite a few years ago. All that's left of Mysidia is an open forum board full of memories (although I believe no one can register there anymore, not 100% sure). Anyway, I've liked a lot of the animations and screen shots of Reborn lately. Everything's finally coming together after so long. It'll be nice to explore Reborn, well reborn, at its full glory. Really looking forward to that.

I've always liked the aspect that Reborn and some other fangames have followed with the gym leaders and boss fights. Being an older player myself, I can agree that the newer games don't give the same feel for gyms as they used to. Realistically, gyms are supposed to challenge your knowledge and understanding of the type you are facing. While some types are not as strong as others, one can still come up with a good strategy for the leader to execute despite that. For example, we know Grass is not one of the strongest types, but I felt Ame did a good job for Grass being the second gym and gave it an interesting theme. The field effects that were eventually added give gym battles even more depth for the leaders, but that doesn't mean that you can't have a Pokemon that can take advantage of that field itself. The gym leaders have been nerfed/changed over time, which have made some battles easier. However, it's still better than what we get from the main games.

Magikarp can be difficult to train. Usually the reward is worth the effort in that one, so I can understand the hesitation to train that unless you had the Exp. Share. It'll be interesting to see how you handle Snowleaf's Gym with that team. Should be quite a good challenge.

If there was one in an earlier room, you can always go to that. I would use one of the side rooms in there to save your game so you don't lose that progress. By the way, how's your team doing so far?
, i hope that you will have a great day
