  1. Lol AI pretty much up and decided to let you win with that Fiery Dance at the end. Also hax, Volcarona should have to wait 'till level 100 to get Fiery Dance <.< Where is a priority move when you need it?
  2. But well, Bloanna is close enough ain't it? I mean look at it climb! I totally am not planning to make #ClimbingBloanna a thing at some point. And have fun with Goshee I tend to naturally trust others so I will assume that by "steal" you simply mean "use as avatar <.<

      Those come with a side of painful death... you sure you want to inflict that on people?

  3. Se7en stuff currently at work to define the LAST line in the Graterras Pokedex! Yes you read it line, at long last we are literally minutes away from completing the Pokedex! Or hours, depending on how long it takes to everyone to reply to the discussion lol

      Dude, is just a matter of one more line being added, so that I'll add my line and we'll officially close the dex.

      It won't take longer than a day, knowing the team XD

  4. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pu-234227617 I finally managed to put together a team that can valorize Aurorus... Seriously Game Freak, with such good stats and gread design, why did you have to make it so horrible defensively?

      In the end, I just said "screw it" and went with Specs Aurorus in PU, where thankfully there aren't many fighting-type Pokemon...

      They never allow Ice Type to play to it's strengths though that is the biggest issue. Like Weavile is probably one of the only exceptions.

      I need a Weavile with priority knock off.

      I mean, usually you would say "these two mon are my core" and "this one takes care of that specific threat" and so on right? But with Ice, there are threats you simply cannot deal with. So all you do is to pack as many hard-hitting mons as possible, and hope the opponent goes down before you do.

      That is why I am surprised Kyu-B isn;t on that team. Kyu-b is kinda standard on all mono-Ice from what I ahve seen lol. ((because it does jsut that.)) though Kyu-B is an eye-sore.

    4. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      Honestly I just forgot that lol. But yeah, not a fan of Kyu-B either.

      Yeah lol. There are people like that in PU I guess.

  5. The opposing Gabite used Earthquake! Lickilicky lost 25.8% of its health! Lickilicky used Explosion! A critical hit! The opposing Gabite lost 70% of its health! Lickilicky fainted! The opposing Gabite fainted! Brandone SA won the battle! I WAS ROBBED!

      Uff, now you are making me feel like the one who procratinates too much <.<

  7. As personal policy, I make it a point to stay away from suspect discussions, because I know the kind of drama could be stirred if I were to speak my mind in regards to Smogon suspect policy: however... This is so NOT an argument against a ban...
  8. Mission: "Get that group of cosplay-addicted friends to play Reborn and see if we can organize a group cosplay of Reborn characters for next convention" initiated.

  9. The fun fact it that I know an entire group of people who are into cosplay, but none of them has every played (or ever heard about) Reborn. I'll try and get them into the game and see if we can organize something big for the next convention: as you know, Italy is hosting the Universal Exposition this year, and among the many side events there are also quite a few ones dedicated to manga/anime, western animation and videogames...
  10. *Mandatory welcome post with my usual jokes about sanity and mild advertisement of Se7en* Welcome to our wonderful asylum community! Enjoy your stay!
  11. Which is why our stated goal is october/november. We purposedly stated a very lenient goal, keeping the possibility of delay an IRL problems into consideration. As my grandpa always told me: it is better to say that you will finish building a house in september and then finish it in june, than saying that you will finish building a house in june and then finish it in september! EDIT: lol Red that's exactly the pic that gave me the idea. Like I saw that image on Wikipedia and I was like "I must make a Pokemon out of this"
  12. As I type these words, I am having a heated discussion with Nova and Calvius concerning the Se7en metagame. It is an incredible sensation, to debate a metagame as shaped by Pokemon that I myself helped create. Would it be an exaggeration to say that this project is one of the best things that ever happened to me?

      That too lol.

      don't fight to much or you won't complete the project!

    4. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      Nah, debating and fighting are two very different things :P

  13. 1) Yes. All the custom moves/abilities are already in, and we are coding the Pokemon in as we sprite them. 2) As clearly stated in the OP, our goal is to release the first episode between october and november. Because yeah, making every episode after the first one will be very easy and won't take longer than a month, but to do the first episode, we need to sprite/code all the Pokemon first, and they are over 150. So it's more or less a month of work to make the episode, PLUS all the time it will take to sprite and code all the Pokemon. We have made incredible progresses since this topic was posted, and honestly, the work is proceeding much faster than expected. Still, considering the IRL problems each of us has, I don't think it would be prudent to establish a more optimistic goal. There will be time for optimism once all the preliminary work is done and the first episode is out, but for now, better play it safe. 3) Yes. He is murdered horribly two minutes into the story. 4) We have had technical difficulties caused by the fact that #FreeHukunaHugs are requested at a much higher rate than we can restock them. Please understand. 5) ... I guess? Zim said he would do a new one, but he is busy preparing a big exam right now. 6) Nope, sorry. Only Pokemon originary of Graterras will appear untill the champion is defeated (coding 150+ new Pokemon is hard enough without having to deal with 600+ existing ones). You will have to come up with some new cult I am afraid :/
  14. You know, the main selling point of this game will be the fact that it will give you sensations you haven't experienced in a long, long time. I mean come on, now that you (not "you" as in you, Chubb, I mean "you" as in the players of Pokemon games in general) are an expert, a guy who has played multiple games, nothing can really surprise you anymore, not even Reborn: a combination of your past experiences and the info you find on the internet (on websites like Bulbapedia, Serebii and Smogon) makes it so that, when you see a Pokemon, you immediately know what it is all about: what are its best stats? What moves does it learn? How does it evolve, and into what? You already know the answers to all of these questions. And in fact Ame, to keep her game fresh, had to introduce new elements that could surprise you in aspects other than the Pokemon, for example the field effects. But remember when you played RBY (or whatever your first generation was) for the first time? You didn't know anything about the games back then. You didn't prepare your team in advance based on what were the Pokemon most indicated to beat the hardest enemies, you didn't know in advance what were the most optimal moves each Pokemon could learn, and when a Pokemon of yours started evolving, it was a true surprise. Remember your excitement when you first found out what the final form of your favorite Pokemon looked like? This is what our project is trying to re-create: we won't have external elements, such as Mega Evolution or field effects, to provide surprise, because the Pokemon themselves will be a surprise for the players. You see, we are planning to reveal in advance only a part of the Pokemon available in the game, and even for those we will only reveal the unevolved forms, without saying anything in regards to how they evolve, if at all. And nothing about the exact movepools and base stats will ever be revealed in regards to any Pokemon: you will have to find out all these info by yourself, and the excitement you will feel as you do will be the main selling point of the game. Of course there will be those who will just open the PBS of the game and read all the info, spoilering themselves in advance, but there will also be those who will genuinely enjoy exploring an uncharted land, and experiencing once again sensations they hadn't felt since RBY. I want to go on record and decalre openly that the latter will be our intended target, they will be the ones we will do everything to please, they are the ones this project is dedicated to. And of course, they wouldn't enjoy the game as much, if some jerks just started revealing all the juicy info to the world in advance. Because of this, I am honestly against the idea of a wiki. Like, strongly against. Granted, a sub-forum like the one that was made for Rejuv, with topics dedicated to the inevitable troubleshooting, the tips for specific quests or just the random chit chat, will most likely be needed (provided that Ame is willing to create it for us, which is not guaranteed), but a wikia detailing all the info in regards to our Pokemon? Hell no: ideally, the exact BST of each Pokemon should remain a secret untill the game is over... Which is impossible of course, because as I said, there will be people who will just open the PBS and take a look. But personally, I would really appreciate if they could keep their findings to themselves because, again, such people are NOT our intended target. Our intended target are those who don't want to be spoiled in advance, and we will do everything in our power to preserve their experience. This is not to say that we wouldn't want to see topics like the ones that you, Chubb, started for Rejuv (guides for specific challenges, help for the hardest puzzles/quests and so on). Those would be welcomed and appreciated. But one thing is starting such topics, another thing is divulging the exact data on all the Pokemon in the game. We just think that keeping the latter a secret will make the overall experience that much more fun
  15. Where's everyone? Rarely in my time spent here have I seen the forum as empty as this... O.o

    1. Darvan Korematsu

      Darvan Korematsu

      Sleeping, away, or having a lot of free time. Alas I have the latter of the three at the most random times.

    2. Aurorain

      Aurorain

      Well, dunno about everyone else, but I was busy jotting down all 721 pokemon on a spreadsheet for further alteration. Speaking of alterations, Regigigas(who's the main story pokemon) was edited as a homage to Reborn, lol; His eyes and grass.

    3. Cepheus

      no times for the forums... MUST PLAY WITCHER! :P

  16. You still haven't seen anything lol. Welcome to our wonderful asylum community! And as you said you want a Fighting/Ghost Pokemon... Well, we are gonna have one in Se7en Totally not advertising.
  17. That's very true, so let me drop some more info: Bloanna evolves as many times as another Pokemon that has been revealed up to this point. Also, one of its offensive stats will become significantly higher than the other. And no sorry, the final form won't be Mecha Godzilla: as the name should sugges, Bloanna is inspired to a real-life animal, the sand goanna...
  18. Your enthusiasm means the world to us. We will do our best not to disappoint you Let's say that, when it comes to typing, stats and abilities, this mysterious new Ground-type I mentioned will have some traits in common with Gastrodon (although it will also have traits that are completely different). Design-wise tho, this new Pokemon will be completely different from Gastrodon, like, not even close I am totally not teasing you guys with little juicy info about stuff we may or may not reveal in the future lol.
  19. Welcome! With 3 fangame projects going on besides Reborn and a very prolific Creative Writing section, you are sure to find a lot of things that might catch your interest, and make many friends. Also you seem to be alarmingly sane, this could be bad for my reputation of only sane person of Reborn... But getting involved in any conversation in which both Dobby and Az are present should do the trick. Well, enjoy your stay in our wonderful asylum community!
  20. The more I look at our Pokedex, the more I think the desert area of the game is going to be the single most interesting place in terms of Pokemon met, with specimen such as a Ground-type that is immune to Water, another evolutionary family with unique type combination, and a hard hitter capable of putting Darmanitan to shame... And then Bloanna, of course. Bloanna is going to be the rarest encounter in the area, so yeah, good luck getting your hands on one
  21. I preferred Dragonize over Draconize because I am not a fan of faux latin :/
