Okay, thanks Then, a few comments about Corey - That dude needs a team edit, his own field fridged him over when it came down to a win or loss situation for him. Here we go! - Lv29 (Reido) -lv 29(Mao)-Lv28(Niro)-lv29(Garbage Bag)-lv20(Blob)-lv20 Vs Corey Note: At this point of the game, I have a Moon Stone and could evolve Niro with it, but I chose not to, yet, nor did I have a need to, apparently Battle commences with Corey's Skrelp vs Garbage Bag. The Skrelp kept spamming Poison!Bubble which didn't do much to a fellow poison type, thus allowing Garbage Bag to get a few acid sprays in, before falling. Of course, I wanted to make Corey waste his heals , so I opted for sending out my own Skrelp, which nearly KO'd the enemy Skrelp with Water Pulse enough times for Corey to waste the potions. With that out of the way, his Skrelp fell. Next up, he sent out Grimer, while I opted to switch Niro in... well, that didn't go well, seeing as Grimer had ground moves, taking it down rather fast. With that, I chose to send out Skrelp again, trying a Water Pulse, which didn't manage to OHKO, thus leaving Skrelp to take a ground hit, which it survived. The second Water Pulse took it down, fortunately. Next up, Croagunk. That one wasn't much of a threat due to it trying to use Fighting moves on Poison types, letting my team take it down swiftly with another bunch of Water Pulses. Skuntank's turn up next. Well, that one was surely going to be a bit tough. Skunk versus Skunk. I didn't have much choice. Knowing it had way better moves than Mao, I had to start with Smokescreens again. Fortunately for me, Mao could take enough hits before falling. Enough to get 2 Smokescreens , a Screech and a Slash in. At least it took off SOME HP. I risked things , sending out Reido. The Smokescreen allowed Reido to get 2 Acid Spray!Nature Powers in, lowering Skuntank's sp def enough to allow Reido a 2-hit-KO. Next, Corey sends out his Nidorina. Switching back to a low-hp Skrelp, it managed to land a Water Pulse before falling to Nidorina. Luckily, Reido managed to take off its remaining HP. Corey was now down to his Ace - Crobat. With only Blob and Reido left, I switched Blob in, trying to get a Yawn in. Of course, Crobat was faster, but it chose to use Nasty Plot , letting Blob land the Yawn. ... And this is where Corey got done in by his own field. In normal circumstances, my low-lvl Blob probably wouldn't survive a Nasty Plot-powered Air Cutter. However, as Corey's field turns certain moves into Poison type, Air Cutter didn't take out Blob in one hit, letting it land an Acid Spray, lowering the Crobat's Sp. Def. As the Yawn triggered next turn, I switched Reido in. To my misfortune, Crobat woke up right away, landing a Poison!Air Cutter on Reido. Again, in normal circumstances, Reido would have fainted to a Flying move. But it didn't do more than take away around 50% of Reido's HP. Getting some HP back from the Giga Drain that followed, I knew Reido would be able to survive another hit before landing the finishing Giga Drain. Well, Corey, you could have had this in the bag, but alas, your field prevented that. With that, Reido and Blob managed to prevail. To my pleasant surprise, upon exiting Corey's gym, I saw none other than Absol, standing on the very roof. I knew it meant only one thing- a disaster foretold by the disaster pokemon. Naturally, we all what comes next- Corey saying goodbye to this world. From where I left off in the game- Current Progress: Location: Grand Stairway( preparing to enter the cave below) Badges: 2 (Corey pls. ) Team: -Lv33- Male, Modest, Adaptability - Play Rough, Poison Tail, Acid, Water Pulse (Reido)- Lv32- Male, Naive, Leaf Guard- Grasswhistle, Giga Drain, Nature Power, Stun Spore (Mao)- Lv33- Male, Timid, Stench- Toxic, Smokescreen, Slash, Acid Spray (Niro)- Lv30- Male, Adamant, Poison Point- Horn Attack, Cut, Poison Sting, Double Kick (Garbage Bag)- Lv20- Male, Gentle, Sticky Hold- Double Slap, Toxic Spikes, Sludge, Acid Spray (Blob) -LV21- Male, Careful, Liquid Ooze- Acid Spray, Poison Gas, Encore, Yawn There may be team changes soon, who knows! Next stop, Shelly!

I'd like to comment on the fact that Serra and the gym AI in general are a joke. She makes literally 0 use of her field and the AI doesn't help the case at all. Also, most gyms feel like they've been needlessly nerfed . I'd strongly suggest tuning up that AI WAY more than its current status :I Feels like Reborn isn't really challenging anymore if I think back to the 1st playthrough I made. That out of the way, let's get ready for a long wait in regards to Ep16!

I gotta agree with the folks saying your rule number 3 sounds like the less rewarding choice so I think you should devise a strategy instead Either way, voted for Electric and Flying because why not, they're cool

Hello ! We're back after a small play-break with a couple of updates! Without further ado, I introduce to you the newest member of the team : (Niro) - Male, Adamant, Poison Point (will be changed to HA when it's appropriate) We left off en route to Jasper Ward last time. Following that, the team's levels grew a bit, with Niro quickly evolving as it was ready to evolve at the 1st level it gained Congrats Niro! Not long after, we found ourselves facing the 2nd PULSe Tangrowth, but this time together with Taka's own team This fight took me 3 attempts due to messing up but hey, we pulled through. On the 1st attempt I got rekt by Tangrowth, 2nd one I used the wrong move, causing my only pokemon left to receive a finishing blow from Chatot. ...and now we're here. Attempt 3: Niro vs Lileep- Well, it fell fast enough to a few Double Kicks, making Taka waste his heals in the process. Next up he sends out the PULSE- I chose to revert back to my old strategies for that one, seeing as I have 0 moves that normally make a dent in it. Mao vs PULSE!Tangrowth - Getting 2 smokescreens in, Mao managed to stay safe long enough to also set up 2 Screeches, still not managing to really damage the thing much. Eventually, Mao fell to a Critical Mega Drain (after unfortunately having its Sp. Def lowered by 2 Acid Sprays) Fortunately, the PULSE now had low enough HP to be taken out by Reido using Nature Power!Wood Hammer twice. And last, but not least- Chatot. I swear, that thing's Chatter does so much dmg, even as neutral- confusing 100% of the time :| After screwing up the last time, I opted forkeeping Reido out against the Chatot. Surviving a Chatter (and getting confused), Reido managed to get a stun spore in. I gambled a bit there, switching Skrelp in. The parahax showed up, letting Skrelp get a hit on Water Pulse, followed by a Chatter attack which it managed to survive. With a last bit of luck, a confused Skrelp didn't hurt itself, but landed the finishing Water Pulse blow. PULSE 2- Down Soon after, the 3rd PULSE fight follows, this time a double battle against ZEL and Taka Sending out Garbage Bag and Niro, I managed to set up 2 layers of Toxic Spikes, while Glaceon was too busy using physical moves on it . Meanwhile Lileep Ingrained itself, allowing Niro to get a Double Kick in on Glaceon. Next deciding to use a physical move on Niro, the Glaceon ended up triggering Poison Point. Wellp. Let that sink in, huehue. Garbage Bag attacks Glaceon with an Acid Spray, lowering its Sp. Def. , while Lileep uses constrict on Niro, who in turn Double-Kicks Glaceon again. Proceeding, ZEL wastes a heal on Glaceon as Garbage Bag gets another Acid Spray in. As the poison kept draining away Glaceon's HP, Niro Double-Kicked it once again, getting 1 Critical Hit in, and taking it down to low enough HP for another super potion to be used. Meanwhile Lileep really likes that Constrict, practically doing no damage. In the next turn, Garbage Bag finally fell to Glaceon's Icy Wind, Niro getting some heavy damage as well. Curse dem wide AOE moves :I Chose to Double Kick the Lileep this time, making enough damage, but also making it Ingrain some hp back. I sent out Skrelp in place of Garbage Bag, letting it witness Glaceon finally succumbing to the Poison . As Niro Double Kicked the Lileep again, leaving it at 1/3 HP(and it Ingrained some back again) , ZEL proceeds to send out his Espeon, which gets Toxic Spiked. Lileep chose to use Ingrain again. Much good that did it. Next up, Skrelp gets a Water Pulse in as the Espeon targets it with its strong psychic moves, Finishing it off with a Critical Hit. :| Meanwhile Niro delivers the final Double Kick, taking down Lileep. I sent out Reido up next, while Taka chose the PULSE Tangrowth, triggering Toxic Spikes once again ( I swear I didn't know the typing of that PULSE until then, since I had tried to Poison Gas it in vain before , I assumed it couldn't get poisoned ._. Wellp, it was a nice surprise) . Reido managed to get a Giga Drain in on Espeon while it KO'd Niro via psychic moves. PULSE opted for growth. Next up, I sent Mao. Espeon managed to hit Reido once before falling to the toxic spikes. Meanwhile, Mao as usual smokescreened the Tangrowth, who missed a Mega Drain. ZEL sends out Umbreon (Toxic Spiked as well as I take the chance to revive Niro, seeing as my team is slowly going down. Umbreon goes for a Sand Attack on Reido, while Reido Giga Drains it, not doing much damage, but recovering some HP. Mao gets another Smokescreen in while the Tangrowth misses an acid spray. I switched out Reido, sending Niro in again. Mao screeches the Umbreon while Tangrowth manages a Mega Drain on Mao. The Umbreon instead missed a sand attack. Next turn, with the help of the poison + double kick, Umbreon fell. Mao got the 1st screech in on the PULSE, it in turn managed a Growth. Unfortunately, on the next turn, while Niro was trying to dmg the PULSE via Horn Attack, Mao was with an Acid Spray, lowering its Sp. Def. Combined with the growth boosts, it did enough damage . Mao instead missed a 3rd Screech, since seemingly 2 weren't quite enough. The misfortune continued in the next turn as Mao fell to a Mega Drain, allowing the PULSE to heal some HP despite the poison. Niro got another Horn Attack in, yet it still wasn't enough. Next up, I sent out Blob. It Acid Sprayed the PULSE, while its missing streak was apparently over and it managed a Mega Drain on Niro, who in turn missed a Horn Attack. I opted for using Blob's turn to heal Niro a bit, allowing it to survive longer after another Mega Drain and hit a Horn Attack, leaving Tangrowth with low HP. I used another turn to heal Reido as he was probably gonna need the full HP later. Meanwhile Niro managed to finish off the PULSe. The final showdown began as Taka sent out his Chatot, who was immune to the Toxic Spikes. It KO'd Niro with a Chatter while Blob missed a Yawn. It was now up to Reido. Busy OHKOING Blob, the Chatot allowed Reido to successfully land a Giga Drain, which, to my surprise...rather quickly OHKO'd the Chatot. I honestly didn't expect an OHKO but wellp. It must've had some pretty terrible SP. Def. And with that, the long fight came to an end. PULSE 3: Down. Current Progress: Location: Corey's Gym Badges: 2 Current Team: - lv28- Male, Modest, Adaptability- Play Rough, Poison Tail, Water Pulse, Acid (Reido) - lv27 - Male, Naive, Leaf Guard- Giga Drain, Grasswhistle, Nature Power, Stun Spore (Mao)- lv27- Male, Timid, Stench- Slash, Toxic, Screech, Smokescreen (Niro) -lv29- Male, Adamant, Poison Point- Horn Attack, Poison Sting, Cut, Double Kick (Garbage Bag) -lv19- Male, Gentle, Sticky Hold- Toxic Spikes, Double Slap, Sludge, Acid Spray (Blob) -lv19 - Male, Careful, Liquid Ooze- Yawn, Sludge, Acid Spray, Poison Gas Next stop is the fight with Corey which will be updated after I play through it tonight. Is it even allowed to double-post for updates' sake?

Don't forget the Amaura/Tyrunt fossils from the Helix cult quest

^They're secretly named Garbage Bag and Blob but shhh, that's not something to tell people Anyway....today is a day to share my progress up till after my battle with Florinia... That. sheet. was. intense. @_@ As I passed the Obsidia park (only to find out the entire park-part was eliminated, leaving you to take 2 steps in the park and immediately face ZEL and the PULSE ... without even a field effect :| Ame, just why? t-t ) Right....then. Just in time for the PULSE fight, we had a small team change! Congrats to Reido for evolving, and learning grasswhistle in the process! (Reido) - Male, Naive, Leaf Guard Team vs PULSE Tangrowth. Gaining a part Steel typing thanks to the PULSE, the Tangrowth was immune to Poison, sadly for me... furthermore, being grass, it was also immune to any of Reido's stat-inducing moves. So much for sleep or paralysis. With that, there was only one option left. I sent out Mao to lower the PULSE's accuracy via Smokescreen just enough to miss most hits. With that, it was time for Screech as without that, it'd be really hard to make a dent in the Tangrowth's HP. The Screech+ slash combo managed to take off some HP before Mao finally fell to Tangrowth. ( not before it got 2 growths in , though :I ) Sadly, Skrelp didn't have too much use in the fight, being part water, despite doing its best to get a few hits in, managing to lower the PULSE's speed a bit, it fell quickly enough. As Trubbish and Gulpin were quite underleveled still, they didn't last enough either. It was all up to Reido Placing my faith in the smokescreen's effects, I successfully managed to let Reido set up a few growths and start a Mega Drain Showdown with the Tangrowth. That lasted until the Tangrowth eventually fell as Reido was doing enough damage with the Growth increases. PULSE number 1: Down And with that, I opt to not include the fight against Fern due to it being a joke once again. Really, all of his team just fell fairly easily with no casualties.... So, let's get to Florinia! (as I chose not to level my entire team since Trubbish and Gulpin are only temporary for me, Reido and Skrelp ended up kind of overleveled, or well, they were both 25) VS Florinia: (lv25) (lv25) (lv24)(lv13)(lv13) On my first attempt vs Florinia, my entire team got smashed to the ground by her Maractus alone really? Pin Missile doing 5hits 90% of the time -.-. It was not in vain, however, as I managed to discover that I can take Maractus down with Reido (or Skrelp with a bit of luck) On my second attempt, all went good, managed to set up double Toxic Spikes and defeat the Maractus. And then she sent IT out. A tiny little Ferroseed. Yep. Another Steel/Grass typing, rendering all my Poison useless. My team lacking the proper movepool to do any damage to that thing + it spamming Nature Power!Sand Tomb on a desert field led to my inevitable defeat. Another 2 failed attempts later, I half-considered going out and training up my Trubbish + Gulpin, but opted for one last try, this time with a combination of few different strategies and some risk. Following up on routine, I began with Trubbish, setting up the toxic spikes. Sadly for me, it was taken down before it managed double toxic spikes. Well, even 1 layer is better than none, aye? Meanwhile, the Maractus set up double spikes on my team. As I sent out Reido as usual to deal with the Maractus via Giga Drain, I had my second misfortune- Reido was defeated with the terrible hax Florinia has of doing field-empowered 5-hit Pin Missiles as if the chance for that was 100% ._. With 2 of my pokemon already down, I began to despair and fear for the outcome of the battle, but I didn't give up. Sending out Skrelp, it finished off the Maractus (and leveling to 26 in the process). To my surprise, Florinia sent out Breloom instead of Ferroseed. Skrelp vs Breloom - Disobedience, commence! As I instruct Skrelp to use Acid, the message appears- "Skrelp ignored orders" . To my surprise, it used Acid anyway, OHKOing the Breloom with a critical hit. So far, so good. But here comes the Ferroseed. This time, I was determined to take it down. Putting my new strategies into action, I sent out Gulpin. Using Yawn on the Ferroseed, Gulpin managed to survive long enough to get switched out for Mao. Mao vs Sleeping Ferroseed. Strategy number 2- managed to get 3 Smokescreens in before the Ferroseed woke up. Counting on it missing its attacks, Mao continued onto the next step- Screech. Managed to get a Screech in before I had to switch out again to Gulpin and pray the Ferroseed misses. Luckily, it did miss, allowing Gulpin to succeed another Yawn before finally falling to a Sand Tomb. I once sent out a severely damaged Mao, quickly healing it up as the Ferroseed fell asleep once more. My team was growing weak at this point, so I took the chance to revive Reido with a Cotton Candy as well. The battle continued as Mao got another Screech in, attempting to cut down Ferroseed's HP with Slash. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end , and with 45%-ish hp left, the Ferroseed finally took out Mao before I could heal it again. With only a disobedient Skrelp and Reido left, I took the risk of sending out Skrelp. "Skrelp ignored orders" - and once again, even though it ignored orders, it ended up using the only physical move it happened to have, taking off Ferroseed's remaining HP- and getting to level 27. The nightmare is over, we survived! 3 down, 3 to go. Florinia sent out her Cottonee as I opted for risking things with Skrelp again. Ordering an Acid, Skrelp ignored orders, only to end up using Acid anyway (wow that was some luck, I swear :I ) , taking out the Cottonee in one hit. I shamelessly already forgot what her next Pokemon was, but the outcome was the same as with Cottonee, except this time Skrelp was loafing around once before using Acid again despite ignoring orders. Last, but not least (well, not anything special compared to Ferroseed either) - Cradily. Reido vs Cradily- The Poison seeped into the poor plant , spreading more and more as Reido spammed Giga Drain, until Cradily eventually fell. This entire thing was really intense for me, on so many occasions I was sure that all would be lost, but mixing up a few different strategies, me and my team managed to prevail with only 3 trained Pokemon and 2 low level back-ups. Current Progress: Location: Obsidia Pokemon Center Badges: 2 Team: - Lv 27, Male, Modest, Adaptability- Play Rough (egg move), Poison Tail, Acid, Water Pulse (Reido) - Lv26, Male, Naive, Leaf Guard- Grasswhistle, Stun Spore, Nature Power, Giga Drain (Mao)- Lv24, Male, Timid, Stench - Smokescreen, Screech, Slash, Poison Gas (Garbage Bag)- Lv17, Male, Gentle, Sticky Hold- Toxic Spikes, Acid Spray, Double Slap, Poison Gas (Blob)- Lv16, Male, Careful, Liquid Ooze- Yawn, Amnesia, Poison Gas, Sludge I have decided to train Blob and Garbage Bag up a bit, and possibly add a new member to the team soon

That blue though. Keep up the interactive writing nuzlocke! Good luck Urv, I'll be looking forward to all your incoming rageadventure comments on skype as well , huehuehue :v

Adamant idd, that thing is too OP

Yep, no Bulbasaur. Also, I don't think I'm getting all the poison types there are, should I? Original plan was to use things I like, which are poison type as well Right! On to Julia then.... well, I'm not sure if Julia's been nerfed or if poison is really just that OP but Julia was a piece of cake. I did set up the 2 layers of toxic spikes at the start, yep. And my Trubbish managed to make Julia waste her potions on Helioptile, as well as take it down after. Her 2 Voltorbs tried spamming sonicboom but missed once and then opted for rollout, thus letting Mao take both of them down with a Screech+ Fury Swipes combo, aided by the poison. Skrelp vs Emolga - the little kelp might be part water, but it's a known special tank even as a Skrelp. As it managed to survive an electric special hit + acrobatics, Skrelp was quite easily able to take out Emolga in 2 hits of Bubble Blitzle was a bit more annoying, spamming Flame Charge and raising its speed, it managed to take down Skrelp before falling to ....the poison. RIP exp :I And then Electrode. I opted to send out Reido and attempt setting up some growths. Needless to say, it spammed sonicboom, missing one of them. From there it was a battle of mega drain, sonicboom spam and the deadly poison seeping in. As Reido could only take so many sonicbooms, it fell, leaving me with Mao, Gulpin and a paralyzed Trubbish. I chose Gulpin, which managed to get an Acid attack in, before getting KO'd by sonicboom.....taking down Electrode with it as the poison finally finished it off. RIP exp again :I Moving on to Obsidia, we inevitably had to face Victoria. She was quite easily taken down, her Ralts being frail as hell and her Pignite being part fire type. So it easy, it hardly deserves a mention imo :I With that, we reach our current status: Location: Obsidia Slums(about to fight the Scraggy/Scrafty gang) Badges: 1 Team Status: - Lv20, Male, Adaptability, Modest (Mao) - Lv20, Male, Stench, Timid (Reido) - Lv19, Male, Leaf Guard, Naive -Lv13, Male, Sticky Hold, Gentle -Lv 12, Male, Liquid Ooze, Careful

Hello hello Folks! Update time! So as I started my adventure with a trusty Skrelp, naturally, I had to pick up some more team members, whether temporary or no. As the day went by, I lost no time acquiring a Trubbish and a Stunky. Team Status: Skrelp Trubbish Mao(Stunky) Adaptability, Male, Modest Sticky Hold, Male, Gentle Stench, Male, Timid But what's a Poison run without a future Roserade? Of course, I had to get my Budew as well. Be that as it may, but I quite like the shiny Reborn sprite of the Budew line, so I decided to try soft-resetting for a Shiny with decent IVs. ... Needless to say, an entire afternoon and 5 shiny Budew with terrible IVs later, I finally settled with a decent shiny one. Team Addition: Reido(Budew) Leaf Guard, Male, Naive And so, I began training my current team, only to be ambushed by a ..... ?! Dumpster o_o ... And what did I find myself facing this time? None other than a Gulpin! I decided to grab it for the team as well. And with that, me and my team finally went off to fight Fern! Being a Grass trainer, naturally, Fern was a joke.... or so I assumed he would be. His Lotad quickly fell to Reido powered up by a few Growths. Next up, he sent out Snivy. I opted to switch Mao in, Screech+ Fury Swiping the little snake to deathFainting So far, so good, I thought. But then Fern sent out his last 'mon- A Budew. Doesn't sound so threatening. However, what I didn't account for was it using stun spore on ....basically everything I had, thus ensuring itself the 1st move at all times. Combined with a lot of para-hax, it managed to get 2 growths in, only to deal quite a lot of damage with Mega Drain to my team(all the while healing itself..), taking out Skrelp, Reido and Trubbish. It finally fell at the..non-existing hands of my newly acquired Gulpin. With Fern and the factory out of the way, it's now time to finally face Julia Team status: Skrelp -lv17 Trubbish -lv13 Mao(Stunky)-lv16 Reido(Budew)-lv17 Gulpin-lv10 Adaptability, Male, Modest Sticky Hold, Male, Gentle Stench, Male, Timid Leaf Guard, Male, Naive Liquid Ooze,Male, Careful

The underwater field really isn't present so often (so far) to worry about it. Afaik, special attacks should work underwater , although I do wonder, in monoruns, do you take a HM slave for things like surf and whatnot? As for water surface, well... you can attempt dispelling it?

Ho lee sheet. That is amazing. pls draw one with Lucia t-t

Damnit, I was looking in the upper one... thanks a bunch, you saved me a lot of time-wasting ._.

I'm a she, btw o3o I do plan on using a Skuntank but I'm currently having trouble finding a Stunky in Peridot.. been tryin in the alleyway/garden but nothing comes up, wonder if it's been replaced

Edit: nevermind, I'm blind x_x Wellp, surprised to see Opal Ward remapped again, nice change.. curious to find out what has been replaced with..

Hello dudes, dudettes, and folks that are neither! First of all, I hope this is the right section for a thread of this kind, if not, I'm sorry in advance and hope it can be moved to the right section! Then... I can now finally start my very first monotype Pokemon adventure ever, and I've decided to make a progress journal-topic out of it! As the title makes clear enough- I'll be doing a Poison monotype Reborn run, with this little guy as my starter- (Thanks RainbowDash for the help) Current Progress: Location: Opal Ward Badges: 0 Team: (lv 7, Male, Modest, Adaptability) Feel free to comment with discussion or anything else related you may want to say o3o ! Here we go! The Waste is watching...

Titania <3 And woop! It's finally here! Right on my friend's birthday, huehue

That list of 5 games on the wiki page is terribly fake and idk how anyone can think otherwise. For one, after XY come ORAS and ORAS isn't even listed there soo yeah, there goes credibility. 2. Nothing has been announced in May except the MD game .. 3. They couldn't possibly pull off Z, X2 Y2 and whatever is mystic red + coral blue in a single year.... even if they could, they never would release 5 games together because...um. that shouldn't even need an answer 4.. I see 0 point in having Z AND X2Y2 5. Coral blue...mystic red... corals aren't even blue why would gen 7 have red and blue as names of all things :I ..

Fondest memory probably my first pokemon game (vietnamese Crystal) and the general feeling of freshness and everything being new and an adventure to you

T-T That's what worries me the most... they keep making games easier instead of harder. For kids or not, what does that tell us? That kids 20yrs ago weren't complete retards and the generations have been dumbing down progressively? :I Wellp, gg. I also like the starter poll, I mean really, gen 5 is my least liked one so GTI wasn't too appealing with mostly Unova pokemon ._. I'm glad we'll have everything this time around and I'm definitely picking up a Kalos starter + an old-gen one . I'll be content if they give me a decently challenging and interesting fleshed out plot with a good post-story :| Explorers of Sky was just so..rich in everything I'll join you on the empty waiting train for a maingame announcement :I

XY/ORAS style of spriting and graphics is probably the limit of my preference. I hope Pokemon never goes beyond that in their strive for "3D" because to me, things like the MD game and stadium look horrible. I feel like Pokemon wasn't designed to go full 3D and is perfectly fine as it is

The anime imo is terrible with Ash winning all his battle via impossible tauros poop that can only happen in an anime. His pikachu loses to mere unevolved starters but can somehow beat legendaries and stuff of that caliber. It's too annoying to watch It's something for kids to enjoy so yeah, no expectations for anything beyond that.

-hides my Greninja- :I Howdy ho, welcome to Reborn! I dare you to do a Reborn nuzlocke!

Saphira most certainly didn't strike me as anything unusual until I saw that she's willing to be ruthless and brutal to achieve what she wants. While she mercilessly slays Meteors, can you really judge her? Yes, she killed Tara, but don't Meteors also take lives? Can we really judge her actions? Well, while murder is never right, I'm sure her past is ridden with a bleakness that left a void in her heart. Like I said, Meteors also take lives. That dood sure didn't have any qualms sucking out a soul from Eclipse with his Chandelure. In a battle where one side is willing to murder, I can't really judge Saphira for her methods. Gotta admit, I was genuinely scared for her life when she fell off that Steelix in her clash with Lin :|

Welcome to reborn, keep enjoying the game and community!
