same. So not pointless. That's another mistake gamefreak made. Ame just did it, too. Sort option sucks, btw. Either that or they need more item pockets and/or a item searching feature with alphabetical categorization. Soon, hopefully. P.S.- The first mistake was taking breeding moves out.

You mean raising the price, but keeping the items effect the same as before? If the price is what it is, then, after the update, it will not be worth it. because 6000 is too much for a basic revive in the form of candy. Only difference is, at the time you get the ability to mine, you still cannot buy revives...or can you? Honestly, I kind of forget. But, cotton cadies could just be a more expensive means of getting earlier revives if regulars aren't available at that time.

OH. SNAP. SON. GOKU... Ame has found this thread. By episode 16 (mayyybbbeee 17), any and all nuzlockers will have lost their nuzlocke challenge. Count on it. Ame has gotten too many ideas. Essentials "MAY" not allow it with what's available I hope it does, though. Truly., but she will find ways to make beating this game harder nigh impossible before it's over.

I accept that challege if Fern is the one to do it. He is enough of a cheap little excuse making jerk to do it, too. I want Fern to use revives later on. Might make it more interesting. My personal policy is to only use up to what the AI uses and no more than that. Though, that might just be me. AIs never revive so I never felt the need to. Also, it would be mre realistic, since even if cotton cadies ae nerfed, they still revive pokemon. If we can revive, then why can't they? Some people in here reading this post might want to beat me within an inch of my life and hang me up by my entrails now, but I stand by my point (for better or for worse...). No seriously, Plese don't kill me. Pretty please?

As I said before, cotton candy is not a little thing. It IS too much of a thing to change. Also, the point was that there are plenty of other ways for players to improve themselves. Keep cotton candies the way they are won't impede that much, if at all. As for it never being intended to be full hp revival, all I can say is that it is the Devs' call. They can just as easily say, "Hey, I know this is what we said, but we changed our minds just now. This is what we are gonna do now." Also, my idea of "breaking" the cotton candy machine in the candy shop in earlier parts of the game is still worth considering. I say just keep cotton candies the way they are and make them available in Agate Cicus once you are ready to go to Calcenon. So basically, right before you prepare to face meteor in the caves where Sirius's Chandelure attempts to burn away the chartacter's soul. Just make a couple of them hidden items right before the arceus fight. Finally, I should say that I have changed my clock for over a month's time and never got a single max revive from the game corner lottery.

A stack of cotton candies for a single gym battle. .......... Whatever makes your gameplay fun, man. I like them, but even if I did want to use them, I would probably limit myself to 2. Of course, I have a personal principal about feeling like a "B word that I probably can't say outside of Reborn Nightclub" if I use one in the middle of league/rival battles. Only super bosses and occasional revives during meteor raids and whatnot are what I need them for. Full HP heal in fell swoop is gonna be more desired during super boss fights like the garchomp on top of Mt. Pyrous, Arceus, and the more difficult Pulse pokemon like Avalugg and perhaps Muk. More trouble with Pulse Avalugg with Recover and Ice Field lowering the power of fire type moves. XD

7 gyms left or not, I believe level 70+ is plenty high enough level to warrant giving players an option to buy max revives. I think they should become available as soon as you are preparing to head torward Calcenon City. It should be available in Agate Circus. The cotton candy machine in the Obsidia Ward's candy shop should be "fixed' when the story progresses to the point when you can normally access Reborn City again in what is meant to be possible in the future full version of the game. Otherwise, make it available only in agate circus. To ask for an easy mode version and a hard mode version of the game is asking to much of Ame at the moment, tough. So, in case anyone is thinking it, just remind her when the game is finished In 50 years. XD

I actually understand this comment. This is why I allow a certain amount of lack of options, because it makes the game feel that much more epic. But, at a certain point it becomes too much of that. My point is that making cotton candies weaker is taking it too far. Not just a little. Way too far. I do have a quite ingenious, yet simple idea, however. Make a dialogue from the candy shop clerk saying that the cotton candy making machine is broken. Make it available after a certain point in the game. Certain flags should have to be checked. This even adds to the epically realistic feel of the game I referred to in my previous comment. I'm quite partial to this kind of thing, actually. To take it out of "early" game even I would personally recommend, not argue against. Just to weaken them altogether is stupid. I mean you basically just have revives that add a bit of happiness at that point. It's not worth the trouble. An extra 4500 pokedollars per revive just for a few happiness points is not worth it.

Finally, a reasonable argument. But, I also think that not everyone cares about playing competitively. Some people play this for the story alone you know. I love competitive battling, but I love the story and the collecting more. My favorite game so far solely on story is reborn. second place would be Black/ White, even though overall (considering stuff other then story as well) would be Hoenn. To take away at least semi-decent options options would go against the very essence of RPGs in general. But, you know what. Let's be fair. Since, you don't like artificial constraints, and I don't like my options being taken away in the face of adversity (Need I re-mention the improved Arceus battle Arceus Forbid that bullpoopy), we should put this to a vote. If there is a vote on this subject matter at the moment or if it has already been voted on, then may I ask that someone kindly link me to the page in which it is happening/has already happened? Thank you for your uderstanding, and also for your opinion. I try to look at all points of view. As I said, it is not necessarily my own opinion I am stating, but might be in certain situations. Examples includes the event battles. But, though short-lived, though are very defining moments in a game. If your were face to face with a level 100 arceus and level 55-60 pokemon, in real life, would you still be thinking the same way. I know it's not real life, but some people imagine things as they are playing and add elements from there own imaginations (like, extra dialogue with characters, etc.), just to imagine it in a way that is would make it seem more realistic to them. I am one of those people. So, it's worth considering. Final point is that I don't see how handicapping your self makes the game dull or takes away from the challenge. I can only see how aded said constraints would do the exact opposite of that in both regards. I can't understand ther logic in that statement. Anyways, vote on it, or it's just absolute bullpoopy.

Well, nobody said that they had to "lolrevive" to win. I honestly feel like you commented without even reading my whole post. It is not circumventing any challenge. I swear I already accounted for that. It is the players responsiblity to choose for themselves how they want to win. I feel like I'm being bullied into playing the game I love in a certain way. It's like your saying, "Play my way or you are doing it wrong." There is no right or wrong way to play an RPG game. Everyone has the right to choose for themselves. If you don't wanna revive to win., nobody is making you. It's not my problem if people can't restrain themselves from buying and using them just because they are there. Why should the more casual players have to pay for that?

WARNING: Mild (...but on topic) rant ahead: Why do people always bash on the stuff that is too convienent or powerful or "takes away from the fun of the game." If you don't like it, then nobody is making you use it. Are you truly attempting to ruin it for people who only wated a relatively difficult playthrough? Do you just want to lessen the amount of people playing this game or something? It's just like The "Etrian Oddysey: Untold" situation. That game has always been known for it's difficulty and having no story - just pure dungeon crawler. But, you know... It's not like they took classic mode off or anything like that. And The same expert-type difficulty is available, too. Isn't it just petty shunning of people who aren't "tough" enough to handle it? I love the challenge of this game, and this isn't necessarily representative of my thoughts, but consider the other players feelings, too. If you would rather have revives than cotton candies, then buy revives... or are you afraid that you will have too much money left if you do that? Ame can just raise the price to 3000 or so on revives (...and not even necessarily that). I'm just saying you have the options of items that fit your playstyle. Just because the OP options are there doesn't mean you have to use them. Don't change the cotton candies to half HP revives. Just change the price if neccesary to lessen the amount available. Because, let's face it. The people who really want (or need) them will do the extra work to get them, albeit a bit disdainfully. One of the greatest things abouts RPGs is the diversity in options for gameplay. To take certain "conveinent" options away would be to go against that ever so important RPG element, which is not okay. I just think that Amethyst or whoever came up with the idea is getting ready to make a huge mistake. Considering certain events in the game being fought before even having access to revival herbs, I simply don't appreciate it. It is completely asinine to do this. I don't even use any kinds of revives in gym battles, elite 4, or champion battles. If I can't win without reviving, then I don't deserve to. I ca just use a revive for times that I am between E4 battles/ meteor admin battles, etc. But against arceus with new field that grants 2.5x attack power to judgement? I would like to have revives that are the equivalent to max revives in regards to hp healing Please, and thank you. Anyways, I'm done ranting. That is all.
