Looks great! Shelly's one of my favorite characters, and not just because of the type she wields. I like it a lot.

It would be Semiramis. The 3rd oldest hero ever summoned in Fate works thus far, a demigod, and in possession of a noble phantasm that boost her magic to levels able to bypass A rank magic resistance without breaking a sweat.

I think you pretty accurately just summed up exactly how people lose out from not having access to these TMs in this sentence. Let me give an example: Unfezent. While I don't personally care for Unfezent, there are people who do, and right now it's a pretty pitiable thing to love. It's a pokemon with a great 115 base attack stat, but a sub par 65 base special attack stat, and and the only physical move it learns until level 55 is Quick Attack. At 55 it also learns Facade (which is made somewhat irrelevant by the fact that it can get Facade through the game corner iirc? But there are going to be LOADS of people who don't think to do that) and at level 60 Sky Attack. By this point you have access to plenty of better flying type options and only the most hardcore of Unfezent fans are still going to be using it. How much more viable to you think Unfezent would become with access to an Aerial Ace TM somewhere in Reborn City? There are potential Grass, Bug, and Fighting type leaders that it would be very useful against. Is Aerial Ace going to make it broken though? I don't think so, what it will do is give it an option to hit super effectively with a STAB attack that you really might expect to be on it's level up movepool. Suddenly by placing Aerial Ace in the early game you haven't broken the game, I honestly doubt Aerial Ace has the power to do that else we might be hearing reports of Fearow murdering the early game. What you have done is turned a previously nonviable pokemon into a viable one, and provided all those that might have wanted to use it with the opportunity to do so. They are the people that are otherwise being inconvenienced by the current absence of Aerial Ace. There are likely similar stories for other early game pokemon. How much would a Donphan love to have access to Bulldoze rather than relying on the oft similar powered but inconsistent Magnitude? Bulldoze even has strategic value for the intelligent player. I can respect this, and I didn't think about it before hand. You're undoubtedly right that people would prefer the former to the latter. I'll just stick to hoping that my arguments make enough sense to influence the TM/move tutor distribution of the game by it's final release version.

I understand that what I say isn't likely to change your opinion, and I'm almost certain that you've heard it before but eh. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the idea of delaying great TM's towards the end of the game to encourage the continued progression of teams in the late game. However, why don't you consider putting the bad TM's in the early game, rather than adopting your current stance of putting next to no TM's in the early game at all, and delaying even the bad ones until well into the late game? I don't honestly see what possible benefit these less viable TM's confer onto any pokemon which has already gained access to the suite of moves available by level up. As an example: Rock Tomb. The occasional Breloom out of the mystery egg aside, I don't think there's a single pokemon that would benefit from the implementation of the Rock Tomb TM at the current point in the game. Therefore implementing it now will result in no effective team progression, counter to your current intentions. The way that seems logical (from my standpoint) to achieve continuous team progression, including integration of TM's along the way, is to implement TM's at a point in the story at which these moves are likely to be useful, rather than waiting until most pokemon have exhausted their options by level up, and find the moves being added not useful at all. The same goes for many move tutor moves, like Electroweb. I'm sure middling power, speed dropping, electric type special coverage would be very useful for some pokemon. But it's much less likely that it's still going to be useful for those same pokemon by the time you reach 7th street in my opinion. tl;dr why not keep the likes of Ice Beam, Thunder Wave, and Stone Edge until late in the game, but not doom Snarl, Flame Charge, and Aerial Ace to a life of inactivity because pokemon that would once have benefited from them are too busy using Dark Pulse, Flare Blitz, and Acrobatics by the time you get them? Sorry Not sorry about the mini rant but does anyone with influence over this sort of thing feel like commenting on it?

Happy birthday Zumi. If I'm late then I'm sorry. You're one of the best new members I've met since I returned from hiatus. I really do like you a lot and look forward to getting to know you better in the future. Also you're amazingly talented, if you ever want someone to praise your work then hit me up.

ARGH I'm too late, how I wish I wasn't. I think you know that I was already wishing you a happy birthday for a long time leading up to this but let me say it anyway, late as it is. Happy birthday friend. You are one of, if not the single most important person to me in Reborn, when you get to the level that you're at right now then I try not to play favorites. But know this, you are a true friend to me, and I struggle to think of anything that could make me like you anymore than I do now. I hope you had a fantastic day, and I wish I could have been there in person, or even virtually, to help make sure that happened. I'm really sorry that I'm late, after being one of the only people that knew when this was happening. The fact that I was graduating/driving tons drove it straight out of my head. But this isn't about me, it's about you. With the love of one of your best friends, again, happy birthday.

Try level 5 like me :] Though tbh I haven't actually used her noble phantasm since I ascended it past level 2. Pretty keen to see exactly how much damage we're talking about.

Why don't you have a hat? Why don't you ever sleep? How close am I to a friendship value of 60? What's your favorite Fire Emblem game, and who's your favorite Fire Emblem character/s? I'm pretty sure Temmie is something to do with UnderTale, but what is the significance behind the other two names you go by? Where were you going on the bus?

We don't talk often but every time we do you find some way to turn what I say into a joke of some kind. I appreciate your ability to lighten any conversation. Have a really happy birthday Kyo.

Release the quartz.

Why didn't you tell me whether you hate me or not?

How did you learn the competitive game? 'Cause damn man you can battle, so whatever it was it worked.

When did you become so cool?

Nope I ain't about that struggling life.

FTFY? (Yes that's a question).

Do you even report button bro? A pretty good bloke told me that you're enjoying F/GO. Is there any servant in particular that you're enjoying using?

What is your favorite food? Why did you just ninja me with a text wall when you should be using AP?

Would you have been down for #THELEMONING2015? Why did you start this trend back up again? You're the last person I would have expected to. What's your goal for the future?

Ayy Heracross, Weavile and Xatu, the power of old reborn compels you. But seriously like Omastar is prolly the only one I need. Shell smash sweep all the things.

Yo. Welcome to reborn. I'm gonna show you around a bit. Community rules are on your left, make sure you read them, staff list is also on your left, they're the people to go to with questions. Myself included. If you have general questions about the game you can always search the "Pokemon Reborn" forum for answers, or make a new thread if you can't find what you're looking for. Aside from that there's plenty of community involvement to be found in the other areas of the forum, discuss aspects of your life, or your love for gaming, or art. Another cool place to go is reborn showdown, located near the top of the sidebar. You can chat with us in real time, or have a few battles against us there. It's loads of fun. As far as Australians in reborn go, uh I think there's about 6 of us now? Used to just be me (I think) for a while there before Winter came back and only recently there's been a pretty big influx of us. It's nice to have a bit more company during the American dead zone. Lastly it's not too late go come on down and grab a hat. Just drop by #THEHATTENING2015 to pick yourself up one completely free of charge hat for your avatar. Come on, get in the Christmas spirit!
