Okay. I just wanna summarize everyone's views because this thread is getting overboard IMO. I still hold steady to all of my opinions I have said earlier but I just wanna say this because I am getting more and more annoyed this thread is progressing further. First. I agree with banning some of these pokemon as this kills creativity. It's basically building a set that takes next to no effort, slapping on a few filler pokemon to sub in and protect your overpower pokemon and completely whale the opposition. When people suggest to use this and that to counter this set, think about this for a minute. Out of how many people are gonna know that they are running a Swift Swim Ludicolo or Chandelure ST and will run a pokemon that has to counter it? Essentially, these pokemon are killing creative patterns of pokemon to use. This is why you don't see pokemon like Kyurem-B, Reuniclus, Amoonguss, and etc. running around in the Reborn Metagame because there are overpowered creations ruining it. Also, for people saying to "make better sets," frankly sir we are not you. It's wrong to assume we should make better sets in time because even with time we are gonna make a team that will flop and do terribly. These bans would at least be justified to at least appease to a more skill based meta. But to also be fair, this doesn't mean that we must ban the whole pokemon. Ludicolo is just fine without it's Swift Swim, FF Chandy is just fine, and SF Excadrill although a bit OP in concept will leave it open for many speedy threats to completely lobotomize it out. Think of it like this. Think of Toyman from the Justice League. He isn't very powerful at all but suddenly when he builds himself a giant movable death ray robot that he can manual control her can conquer all. Take that away from him and he's just another villain to fight. That's essentially what most of these threats are. Finally, with the rain, sand, and sun abusers. Who cares really? Frankily, we've had Volcarona, Keldeo, Landorus-I, and others swept under the radar because most were just focused on what is plainly broken. But, now after we've figured out what is broken we are soon gonna begin to wavering our fingers at what abuses the weather once we get rid of all the broken things. Why? Because of how damn competitive pokemon has become and how it is evolving with weather. Weather is a controversial subject and has brought many topics into hold of what is and what is overpowered. Most people would subject to say to just use Clear Skies tier but that's just a cunning way of saying you are an idiot for not noticing this to the competitive side. It would be nice if we could promote that style instead of using the weather as it does lead to more creativity, skill, and a bit of chance into building a set for the Reborn meta. The broken abusers stand out like a soar thumb but once we are done with those we are gonna start pointing our fingers to whatever a hyped up competitive person is constantly being killed by. The fact is, if we ban one thing, we are gonna get more stingy and grumpy about something else that's been killing off a lot of us. And that is what's leading to Landorus-I's ban and Keldeo's 2nd Suspect test in the meta besides Reborn and PO. I'm sorry for carrying this subject on like a dead horse while beating it with another dead horse but i'm just tired of seeing this. I just want this to end so we can start battling for fun and for keeps. Not for some ridiculous high score to reach or a reputation for being unstoppable. Sorry to ramble on about this, i'm outta here for good on this subject. Adios.

Well, this is a completely different type of sprite that they are dealing with. Either they are preparing to convert their software to accept the 3D sprites X and Y have or they will have a bad time with converting.

Just a little something to keep in mind of everyone. It'll take months for the data from X and Y to transfer into Simulators considering; A. Every single new sprite will be in 3D making it a pain to convert one of the stances to 2D pixels B. We have no idea if Nintendo messed around with a few weaknesses with the Fairy types besides Dragon type. (Or any other types for that matter) C. New moves and Pokemon will take time to know their stats and exactly what each new move does. D. Potential new items and a plethora of new things implemented into the game In total. That'll all take about 2 or 3 months tops. Mostly due to the fact that new Pixel work will be taking a long time when converting 3D to 2D. I do realize that i'm being a bit hypocritical on my other post but to be honest it's a valid argument because even if X and Y release it will take a very long time before any Simulators transfer the sprites, correct stats of EVs and IVs and the new moves effects. Or, they might just disregard all of this and upgrade their software from 2D to 3D. >>; I'm still a bit torn on this as 4 or 5 months doesn't sound too bad but it'll still leave some people pretty angry.

Realistically this nuisance, as far as I know, has been in the reborn server for awhile. Banning Swift Swim would then lead to banning Genesect, then Landorus-I, then Thundurus, then Blaziken, then basically every other pokemon that every smogonite would shout evil and blasphemy to. This steps in all will probably take 2 months to process and by then X & Y will be out. Banning Swift Swim would be nice though as practically everyone is running rampant with Swift Swim Ludicolo, Mantine, and Kingdra. >.>

Cool, another page owner. I used to run a good Facebook page called The Original Kuro-Konata but it went south. Enjoy your stay Mr. Jolty!

Because I scavenge hunt practically...Everything. Mincinno is found in the Crysolia Forest at Daylight. He has a low find rate so keep scavenging! You'll also find some pranksters at night in the bushes. >>;

I derped. Look at the post above me. You could get a trapinch, to a Flygon. But that's the only dragon you can get at this point in the game.

Welcome in new member! You seem to use the grass for your cover; I just use a box. -pulls box- It helps as a napping system and to hide away from people. owo Enjoy your stay!

Bad News: You instead use that money to buy a Vita. I'm sorry Sony Fanboys. ;w;

Welp, I got enough points. Name: Cowtao Text: There can only be peace in this world if we fight for it. If we fight for it, we present the complete opposite of what peace is and we end up in a stalemate to our own hypocrisy. But that's okay. If I focused on the negatives all the time...I would be a relatively dark person.

Can you not answer my question sir?

AWWWWH HELL NAWWW ....And with the OG answer out of the way. You are better off just waiting until you can get to a point where you can get a lot of pokemon that can evolve with the link stone since there is only 2 in the game right now.

Uhm...Did I do something wrong? ;w; Wahhh~ Also, for a Visual Overhaul of the Slums. I wouldn't exactly go overboard on it. Make it more of a crazed up area for vagrants and thieves to hide in with broken glass and bottles, stolen needles, and other needs. The style you have with the slums right now is just fine but it could be a little more but not to the point that it's gonna scare you away. You already have enough cracks, scattered objects, and talking boxes as is. To add a lot more seems a bit of overkill. It seems more of a hideout or a place to get stoned or wasted rather than a place to find many wired trainers. Y'know, just a recommendation. ;~;

Some idea for visuals I guess. 1. The Cracks. I know this seems a bit weird but...Every time I look at some of the cracks on Reborn, I feel it's more like an inconvenience of editing black lines than an actual Crack. It just seems like a black line that zigzags and that's it. Maybe add some depth or shading into it to make it stick out as actual damage instead of just random black lines. Like maybe some detail of that poor old Policeman that never could. 2. Ideas for improving some areas. You could add vines onto some of the trees or add in some fruit like adding dashes of red, blue, or purple berries. You could also add other variants of trees. Like some of the more tropical trees you can find in Fortree City in the Hoenn region. Orphanage, add a dash of something mischievous. Like maybe a little "accidental" blood print, a kid that is unconscious and giving a vague reason why, or a needled doll. Something that really brings an essence that Sigmund is an evil man and should be locked up the Orphanage isn't a safe heaven. The place feels too..."Kidish." The Orphanage should be kidish but having a dash of something that makes you want to leave the Orphanage right away. To differentiate the wards it's kinda simple. Opal should be fine the way it is, Peridot should include some cigarettes on the floor or a few toxic waste barrels hanging loose, Beryl maybe adding random grass patches in places of clear cement showing the infection of the grass from Tangrowth, Coral Ward adding in some thick mist giving it it's own background and basically copying every single cheap generic oldies Scary movie genre pier possible, Lapis is fine the way it is, Onyx Ward should somehow show more prissyness in their standing in Reborn City, and Jasper to show some first signs of real peril of what's to become if the PULSE project Team Meteor is doing. The other ideas I think the others have covered so i'm not gonna touch on that. If it seems like I am forcing this down sorry. You are the creator of the game and i'm just a baka that has some neat ideas. Hope some of these ideas work!

Chattered Teeth - Every time a user uses a move involving Super Fang, Hyper Fang, Fire Fang, Ice Fang, or Thunder Fang, the users Speed and Attack stage is boosted by 1 High Chances - Increases moves with a high chance for a Critical Hit by 25% but removes the ability of having a critical hit Risky - Increase the power of moves that involve recoil by 10% but doubles the recoil. (Including Life Orb)
