  1. Hardcore CoM Day 4: This champ battle definitely earned it's placed on top.

  2. Just letting you know I made a little teaser for a feature coming in E16 version of Hardcore http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15490&page=11#entry507377

  3. Remember that secret project I talked about like 3 months ago. That's okay because neither did we. Joking aside, I actually recruited Trevor (he can say hi if he wants to) to help out with this project I have which you may have heard the term CoM. No, this is not Chain of Memories but a place called Chamber of Memories. What is the Chamber of Memories you ask? For right now, I'm going to disclose it but it's sort of like a post game for the hardcore (and maybe your Reborn saves) with quite a few interesting restrictions. So far we've laid the foundations and are getting into the torturing AI testing and fixing. Unless Episode 16 gets a huge delay, I'll be saving it for Episode 16. But anyways here's a little teaser for what to expect: Totally didn't forget to delete them Ultra Potions Anyways, you may have noticed some things in the video you may or make not like but here's what kind of challenge it is: 1. Items will be disabled for the entire battle (you can use them outside of battle, but I don't see why you would) 2. All battles will be forced into set mode. (Make sure to switch back to shift mode after leaving CoM) 3. No experience will be gained during battles in the CoM. And as a different note, there will be a short survey (using survey monkey or something) coming up which is why I wanted to introduce some concepts early so that people can kind of get a better understanding of some possible features that can be added to the adventure part of the mod. There'll be a lot of minor changes to make Hardcore better than it is. Anyways, feel free to share your thoughts, comments, and concerns.
  4. This is what happens when you underestimate ice types http://postimg.org/image/xobidiiqp/

      You could say that I'm on thin ice here. I actually lost because VENUSAUR MISSED GIGA DRAIN.

      The real question is: why isn't Venusaur nicknamed?

    4. Commander

      I'll nickname it something later.

  5. I called it. I freaking called it way before it happened. Anyways, congrats on winning that battle and hope none of the other fights are as bad. Shelly might be a bit tricky but by that time, you'll have an army. Also, I'm pretty sure you missed the Psyduck event in the arcade. 5000 Poke and it would've been yours. I do know I intentionally put a timeframe on it. Edit: Nevermind, I see you got it.
  6. Hardcore CoM Day 3: Now I have to find all the nicknames for these Pokemon. Borogrove, Moorish Idol, Abosolem, etc

  7. We now have to wait another year for the episode. This is the only way to respond to that.
  8. Florinia doesn't look much younger in that than she does in the game...were the rumors really true?
  9. I forgot how catchy the Carmen Sandiego song is

  10. (cries in a corner) I literally had to do it all by hand, but I suppose I can Wednesday. If someone else wants to, all I did was use an RNG for all Pokemon, remove legendaries if they pop up, and use that numbers lowest stage and turn it into an egg (whatever it has before hatching will be its moveset so you can put eggmoves on it). I avoided repeating and made it a total of 30 Pokemon in the box.
  11. ...I'm pretty sure the three statuses below me have some connection

      IDK about three, but two of them certainly seem related

    3. Ice Cream Sand Witch

      Ice Cream Sand Witch

      Gen 7 will have a loli Pokemon confirmed

      ...But if it does that I'll have to take interest in Pokemon again

  12. You know, part of me misses Roleplaying.

    1. Jacobliterator

      You could role-play as a character during Pokenations. You know, see if you can revive it.

    2. Noir

      I miss it too, but sadly all the active RPs are full and the one's I'm in are pending and/or inactive.

  13. Hacks are mods using data straight from a GBA and are often designed in a similar manner due to that. While they're easier to make, they have many limitations and eventing is a bit more of a pain. You asked for a hack so it is impossible to play one without a ROM. Fan games are games made from scratch using tools people created to make a Pokemon game. I believe this is what you're looking for so Reborn, Rejuvenation, Insurgence, Desolation, and a really old one I played was Raptor Ex (that one probably didn't age well). Pokemon Eevee edition is one you could try though it has a different battle style (FF type). And then there's the Hardcore which is Reborn but amped up in difficulty.
  14. You can take our men, but you will not take our pride.

  15. Forum: Commander Server: +Commander Year Joined: 2013 (though I was mostly active starting 2014) Favorite Type: Rock Least Favorite Type: Ghost Pokenations1?: Yes, yes I was Usual Availability: It varies from week to week due to where I work, but I usually have some time every day and am always available 10pm-2am. 8am-4pm is usually open Monday and Wednesday though. Just don't try to contact me on Saturday. Watch as I get Apophyll again
  16. I'm just being theoretical here, but a gun control law would more or less only hurt the gun business. That's it. So what if weapons are purged from everyone, that doesn't mean they aren't available to people. Marijuana is illegal so does that mean nobody smokes it? Alcohol was illegal during the prohibition, but did that mean citizens rightly obeyed? Guns are still going to be obtainable through black markets and other means. I suppose that in a murder case a gun could be "easier" to look for due to less guns in the area, but since it wasn't bought legally, you couldn't use stores or anything from buyers as evidence. I could go all economics on you if you don't believe me in that this will not solve the problem at all and possibly make it worse. The whole transgender thing is probably going to end up being a big mess for me just a spoiler. Well considering in band there have been girls who go into the men's bathroom due to the whole line thing, this is already going to be a problem to control. For every cop in the area, there has to be about 100 bathrooms. That's not an exact amount, but you get the idea. It's about as effective as jay-walking in the long run. Now let's get into gender. What is gender? There's the obvious physical approach with the genitals and organs, but the mental approach is another way to describe it. Males carry mostly masculine traits and women carry more feminine traits but it's not always the case. If a female is more masculine to the point she looks and is almost considered a guy, it would be more comfortable for her to be in the men's restroom as the women's may have people give glares mistaking their gender. Why should these people be punished for a law that can't be enforced very well? Here's the thing that's puzzling me: if trans were the main problem with bathroom rapes, wouldn't a female who became a male have an easier time rapping them then? If it's based on birth instead of current gender or looks, someone who clearly does not resemble a female in any way could actually use that as a way to not even be questioned why they're doing in the bathroom in the first place.
  17. Well that's more than Legend of Heroes Cold Steel. They had around 20 main characters but like a bloody 120 side characters all with stories to tell. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there are quite a number of them. I think at least 40 characters were voice acted though. It's been a while since I played it but oh boy it's not a small number. So in other words, this could be considered tame.
  18. Cain is...the type of character I rarely write for and for very good reason (there's a reason why I said it fried a few brain cells creating that dialogue). I was very reluctant to do this change for so long because I didn't want to touch the story. The best way to describe the feeling is a stranger writing a passage in someone's book they've been working very hard on. Also, RIP Solaris's "I will delete you with only one Pokemon." The variations of this as "I will delete you with my Pokemon" and "I will delete you with all my Pokemon" just don't have enough of that cockiness to actually put fear and tension on.
  19. As for Hardcore, I'll be doing some changes for Episode 16, but it's mostly just adding a few things people may like such as completely changing an obscure Corey mon event for an actual sidequest, like Magma/Aqua Gang length sidequest. Some leaders will be receiving some changes in order to make the game flow better and cater to both the stronger and weaker players in Reborn (no I'm not adding more modes). A couple leaders are just going to get variations of their fights similar to how Radomus works (his'll be changed to be less confusing though). As for the reputation system, I wouldn't get your hopes up. I don't think Ame is going to do that much with it for the previous areas of the game as that'd mean there'd be even more work to cater to all those people with old, old save files in order to not miss out on anything. Text changes is probably all there is, but I don't think anything major will happen and it's going to take a lot of math and work (probably a month or two) in order for people to come up with very unreliable theories on what the best options for choices are. I also kind of want RPGmaker info confidential until non RPGmaker players can confirm the reputation system does something or large chunks of it. We don't want another Heracrossite/Pinsirite incident.
  20. TBH, this happens with just about everything. You have three groups of people who noticed this project when it was first announced: people who were interested, people who weren't interested, and the people who are kind of in the middle. The biggest group is going to be the middle group and they're the hardest to keep into the game. Just think about how many people played and downloaded Reborn Episode 13 vs Episode 15. I know one big factor was Shofu playing Reborn which created a spike to people playing the game. People are going to stop playing it for many reasons such as burning out/losing interest, forgetting about it, or something else more interesting comes down the line. It's often why I tell people to wait until you've got quite a bit accomplished before announcing a fan game because people really want to play it then which the sooner they can the better since people interested will drop quickly the longer it takes. Instead of looking at the total numbers of people leaving or kept going until the end, percentages would be more accurate and comparable, but both of these take work. The second season will more or less really tell how successful it really is since people like to try new things and this won't be new any more. Basically, what I'm saying is take the number of drops in this season as a grain of salt since it happens in almost everything. I wanted to get that out of the way before giving you the answer you really wanted: The Reborn league also kind of had it better since it was on the main channel and there wasn't much competing with it like the fangames and the forums (which have grown...I think). A certain few drama moments didn't really help, but they didn't really affect the numbers that much. The availability is imo very poor due to it being a time where people are busy with work if they're in school or straight up have other things they need to do (I rarely had a free saturday since like 3rd grade). It was 4-7 Fri, Sat, and Sun right? That's 12 of 168 hours in the week or 7% of the week. If everyone shared the same timezone, this would be a minor issue, but we don't. The other thing is if someone got stuck on a leader, they had two options: start all over from scratch or just quit. The latter is probably the more preferable choice nowadays since there's plenty else to do. Of course, this is just me being theoretical so I could be wrong. The time thing was a big reason why I didn't participate in the league.
  21. Until you use explosion I'd honestly go with teleport. So many uses for that move. So many uses. Also, I'd never have to drive again.
  22. I went from windows 8 to windows 10. I have a love hate relationship with it but Windows 7 and XP are so, so much better. My only issue were some random crashes that happened for no bloody reason. Then there's my janked up internet in which is probably more or less my actual laptop and not windows 10's problem. My biggest gripe is that my windows app randomly closes which is very annoying. Hang in there.
  23. I'm not going to judge what you do as I don't do monotypes of hardcore because there's always going to be that one leader you struggle with. As for a normal monotype, it's up to you but I can say that Garchomp is going to make a few fights trivially easy due to the design being based on Pokemon available. And yeah, killing that Tropius can be a nightmare as you need to take it out fast (there are many ways to do this though).
