You can count me in. I'll be happy to pledge my allegiance to this alliance to annihilate all who stand in our way. I'm actually a poet so that alliteration was intentional

I still use my Gyarados for one reason and one reason only: I never learnt to use him properly so I end up somehow make the destroyer of worlds suck in battle...

Gyarados. I've had one in every Pokemon play-through I've done (main and side) and one in my TCG deck, I've always been able to count on it. And it has a complete-and-utter-destruction-to-all-in-its-path bonus, there's that too.

To reiterate all the somethings... Welcome to Reborn! Feel free to check out the Pokemon Online Reborn Server, you don't even have to battle, and drop any remaining sanity off in the glowing red box marked 'incinerator' Again, welcome and enjoy your stay, you won't be leaving any time soon!

Immunities change to 2x damage So, for example, a normal-type move will do 2x damage to a ghost-type Pokemon But immunities due to abilities or items, like Levitate, will still be 0x

Oh, in that case, Nidoran ♂

If Ame is playing along, do we still have to reset if she comments? If so, if not,

My first-glance warning is to watch out for trick room. With such a speed-oriented team, it can be potentially devastating. Your Infernape's taunt should take care of trick room leads, but might be a problem later on. Your Infernape is a nice lead, starting with a hazard, focus sash as protection against sweeps, and blaze/fire blast (plus high Sp. Atk IV) or close combat to do serious damage to, if not knock out, the first (few) pokemon Again, start with taunt against any potential trick room leads, and then you're set to stealth rock and sweep. Your Starmie is decent. It can take care of entry hazards easily with its high speed, but its unimpressive Def/Sp. Def can leave it vulnerable to a OH-KO from a super-effective (Starmie has 5) from a sweeper or a decent STAB Your Zapdos is a nice sweeper. It's quick, effective, and blocks many switch attacks. Your only weakness will be Rock STABs or a Rock/Ground sweeper with an Ice move. You could consider replacing Heat Wave with HP Fighting. Although at the cost of some damage, it'll keep its super against Ice/Steel while adding Rock, taking care of that last weakness. You could also consider replacing Volt Switch with U-Turn, sacrificing STAB in exchange for damage against ground and super against grass. (I feel if you have thunderbolt, you shouldn't need to worry for the supers for Volt Switch) Choice band Dragonite is awesome. Choice band + Extreme Speed may be a nice revenge kill, just watch out in case of a following ghost-type. Escavalier with HP/Atk + Assault Vest is a good combo to tank while offering decent damage. Biggest problem: Fire. With a 4x weakness and such a low speed stat, you can easily be OH-KO by a fire punch to the face strong fire-type attack. Gengar is pretty solid. Mega Gengar's shadow tag makes him weak to ground, so keep that in mind. Destiny Bond is a good *Press in case of emergency* with sweepers or a sure-fire way to defeat an opponent's last Pokemon if Gengar isn't your last Pokemon Overall, your team is pretty well rounded and should do fine. You should still do a few 'test' battles with the team to work with your strategy and to see how well this team works in practice. Hope this helps!

Eevee's Red/Blue Pokedex: Just saying... Might help your theory, maybe Mega evolution is temporary due to the radiation being weaker/artificial... Anyway, leading into my theory. What if Eevee were the first that were able to evolve from non-leveling up (b/c that's obviously just aging), and all other pokemon gained their ability from Eevee (cross-breeding/Darwinian evolution/some other reason) since they are very rare (Only 1 in each game prior to Gen IV, and only rare/very rare encounter rates in Gen IV onwards), possibly alluding to their age, and they can evolve in almost every single way (Evolutionary Stone/Friendship/Time-Dependent/Move-Dependent/Area-Dependent).

Shoot, what's #16? *Plays jenga to get Official Pokemon Handbook out of the middle of a 4 ft book tower* Pidgey *Realizes she's on the internet* *Facepalm*

I'd probably go into Pokemon research, maybe compete in contests on the side, with my trusty one or two companions. Although, if this new Pokemon world were like it is in the games, and trainers had to battle when they made eye contact, my Pokemon and I would be screwed. (I'd probably wear shades and avoid looking at anyone, living my whole life in the shadows...)

Dark/Fairy (Dark) I like to keep an air of mystery surrounding myself (plus, I hate bugs), yet (Fairy)I like joking around and trying to lift the mood whenever people are down (Also, down with those freaking dragon-type specialists(I'm looking at you, Lance...)

Welcome! Feel free to look around, check out the reborn server on Pokemon Online, and all that. Make sure you lock up any valuables before they get lost in the void, and leave your sanity by the doorstep. Thanks, and have a (hopefully) wonderful time here!

I like the idea. It really forces the player to think about which Pokemon they should train. It also gives them plenty of time to build up a well balanced team early on, while leaving a nice challenge by the end. I might have to give this a shot later...

Thanks! I'll try to be careful around these parts... Thanks! Yes, Original was amazing as well, easily a close second for me! Lol, Thanks! Yes, my sanity is gone (thrown out a window). I think I'm already starting to get used to this place, though I also have this headache... I'll hope for the best.

Thanks. Ok. Sure. Again? K. Bye.
