  1. Been about two years since I posted within one of these. Gunna try and keep it to new people/people still within the general community so; Here we go. Words are hard so this'll largely be brief where possible.

     

    @Azzie 

    Heya name-buddy! Kinda weird to think you've been here a whole year now. You've been a wonderful presence on the server, both moderating side and as a user and a delight to talk to personally. We share quite a few interests and it's honestly always nice to talk to you about fics, OC's or anything really. I know you've been in a bit of a slump the past couple days so I hope you start feeling better again soon, you rock!

     

    @ZEL

    Heretic.

    No seriously though, getting to know you better over the past two years has been a terrific experience, especially with all the interests(and tastes!) we share. Sharing art and memes with you is very enjoyable(whenever it ISN'T CURSED). You're also a delight to see participate in discussions, always giving very well informed points and getting your views across excellently. Idk what else to say, words are hard haha.

     

    @Posty@Ruby Red

    Grouping you two here because you tend to come in pairs. You're both great people, vc's are a delight and full of laughs usually. Hoping for the best with Desolation for y'all!

     

    @Ojama Yellow@Hycrox

    Neither of you need this but just a s/o, probably some of the best friends I've made in this community over the years.  Absolutely wonderful people that deserve the best in life, keep on trucking lads.

     

    Figure I'll also do this now since it seems to be a thing;

     

    @Jan@Zumi@Alex@Winter@Ramiru@Sardines

    Working on Rejuvenation with y'all's been great and even outside of that, sharing memes and talking has been fun in general. T's been a time getting to know you guys. Stay awesome gamers.

     

    @Omega

    Quick s/o, you've quickly become one of the most fun people for me to be around. Easy to mess around with, share a lot of the same interests and similar types of humour. You enjoy watching me suffer in the games I stream a bit too much but its been a ride. Hope things work out well in Uni for you after quarantine ends. 

     

    I think that's about it from this past year alone. I'll do a couple more from people I've only recently met though.

     

    @Cerise @crimsoncrim

    Hey you two! Your arts great, hearing others talk about their OC's is always nice too. Ceri, you've only recently joined the server/s but you've made your presence known with a bang. Also definitely looking forward to your work on starlight crim 👀
    Definitely hoping to speak/get to know both you more in the future!

    Great, another Beldum situation where I will become paranoid if there is other really inconspicuous hidden events/features.

     

    Also does anyone knows how it should be installed? The only dowload that I found on the first post is for .rar that only have a Audio and Data folders inside without any instructions. Should I dowload a new Reborn 18.2 and rewritten it with the contents of the patch or I supposed to have a Memeborn 1.12 (which I have a backup) and rewrite that? Also since it came with a new Audio folder, does the Reborn Battle Music Pack already included?

    The downloads are currently down. I am working on a massive overhaul of basically the entire mod and keeping up with the old one was getting a bit tiring.

    As soon as he stops doing the "nuzlocke", his luck gets drastically worse and he loses every major fight in the game multiple times (even Bennet.  BENNET beat him multiple times.)

     

    Really makes you think, huh.

    he stopped really giving a shit, there's no real consequences so he can play as risk-free as he likes. Up to this point he also had Swalot stall out 9/10 matches so...

  4. I'd also like to point out that if he wants to keep his team safe, his best grinding options are to grind on wild Pokemon that are like 10+ levels under him. The Grand Hall trainers all come with an exponentially higher risk of killing off members so he's best off grinding on wild Pokemon to not risk losing anything, and trust me that's bloody TEDIOUS. So yeah, it makes absolute sense that he doesn't grind much, it's just not very enjoyable and he hasn't really been in need of it as long as Belly has been around just soloing fights.

    You don't even need to get to Shade, Shelly crushes anyone their first time around if they don't know what to expect. She's so much of a step above Julia, Florinia, and Corey it's unreal, probably the sharpest difficulty spike in the game in my opinion. (yes, even stuff like glass gauntlet, since this is relative to how difficult the game was before; none of the battles were really that scary outside of maybe Taka+ZEL, Shelly is what shows you what Reborn is about and it keeps it up till you get a breather with Radomus.) Going in blind is gonna be rough since you probably won't have a Fake Out user turn 1 or one of the small handful of pokemon that learns Rock Slide by level 35. Not to take away from the power of Shade, Aya (even Kiki isn't a slouch), and Serra (if you don't break her field and don't have moves that play well with it), though.

    Nah. Everything after Shelly up to Samson and Charlotte is a CAKEWALK in terms of actual objective difficulty IMO(even if I personally don't struggle with Shelly.) I'd actually take a stretch to say that Shelly is arguably the most potent doubles boss in the game, with every single one after her not coming ANYWHERE close to as safe, secure and well synergised as she is tbh. If he drops this nuzlocke, it'll either be because he choked vs Corey's Crobat or because Shelly got to him.

    Yeah, bout that.....does the Mareep even HAVE Electric Field? I tried soft resetting for about an hour and didn't get that move, so i just took what i could have by going for decent IV, Ability and nature.....but the moves did not change once....

    Electric terrain was removed in e18 following the spam of it in the pentalocks.

    More or less how is the process of creating a Gym Leader/Boss' team? I remember Valarie in particular being so broken back in the day not only did her team have to get nerfed, her field had to get changed too. When exactly is the moment where you just end up saying "Yeah, this is a bit too much, gotta tone it down a bit"?

    Probably the point where intended hard-checks or counters fail to do their job properly. This is a lot more necessary in early-game though. By late game the player has so many tools we don't -really- need to do that as much anymore, outside of the segments where you play as other characters.

    Hi yall,

    I love the game and to see it evolve from V5 when I started into what it is now has been really amazing and truly you all have done an incredible job.

    One of my favorite aspects of the game is the Shadow Pokemon since XD and Colosseum looked really cool but I never got around to playing those games; will Shadow Pokemon come back into the story, and if they do, will they soon?

    Thanks again yall, I'm glad I gave this game a try!

    There will be some more Shadow Pokemon in the future, but they're not the focus of the plot. You've already destroyed the factory they were made in, after all.

    Any chance of certain crests being made available earlier?

     

    Some of them seem really fun, but having to wait 70 levels for certain mons to be usable is a bit....oof. Im specifically thinking of stuff like Ledian that are available early, and can't contribute very much or fill a niche even at it's highest evolution (especially as the game progresses and gets harder). 

     

    My next intense run was going to be a bug mono with Ledian + crest as my starter once the PBS files are released, so that's what got me thinking. It'd be nice if I didn't have to "cheat" to do stupid fun stuff like that lol

    (I don't actually mean giving them *that* early, but you know what the intention is).

    So fun fact, Inuki did a playthrough JUST like that, when we were thinking of putting Ledian's crest earlier.

    There's a reason why it's so late.

    The main purpose for them is to make weaker Pokemon actually usable in the end-game anyways. A majority of these from my experience have some decent use earlier on and then fall off(Looking at you my boi Dedenne 😔.) There's one or two that I think could be earlier but the vast majority don't really need that.

    Are the properties granted by the Crests going to be changed further, or set with each version from now on?

     

    For example, I saw how good the Fearow Crest was in V11, and I bred a 31/31/31/x/31/31 Fearow (or something similar) for the purposes of using it. In V12, Fearow Crest got what I would consider a considerable nerf: it's only active after the opponent has taken damage, and that takes Fearow's ability to be a sweeper down. If powerful Crests are going to be nerfed, I'd like there to be some sort of cutoff where the Crests released X versions ago won't be altered anymore, but now that I'm typing it out I feel like that's just me being a greedy Intense-mode player who's more power-hungry than Griselda herself.

     

    On the other hand, the Dedenne Crest is an example of an item that's just plain awful. The only thing that Dedenne's got going for it in terms of stats is its speed, and merging its Speed and Attack gives it a mediocre Attack and a mediocre Speed stat. It's the one Crest I've seen that looks like it would hurt the Pokemon in almost every usage role. I'd rather it have any beneficial item were I going to use it.

    Fearow Crest was too powerful as a whole. There were 0 requirements for you to get the equivalent of a STRONGER Huge Power on a Pokemon with base 100 attack already. It was quite a bit beyond the rest of crests and thus needed something for it to be brought in line. Hence the change to it being an "Execute" type of thing. With Spikes or Rocks support, it will still get those KO ranges, or it can be a good revenge killer on weakened Pokemon. You just have to actually work for and around it instead of slapping it on, clicking any non resisted move and one shotting everything.

     

    Dedenne's Crest is fine, more an issue with the description being kinda off. Dedenne's attack scales off it's speed stat, so it effectively hase base 101 attack and speed at the same time.
