Foamy

I'm pretty sure it was also mentioned that Heather's mother, the original holder of the Ruby Ring, was an Elite Four member. Uh, yeah, this has already been discussed since day one. The conversation above is the main reason WHY everyone's been talking about Anna being the Champion or an Elite Four member.

Heh. When Aster and Eclipse said the whole "outnumbered" line, I was expecting a comeback like "You're right. I outnumber you one to many." (...hehehe...) (...HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE)

THIS THREAD IS IN TEAM SHOWCASE NOW? No wonder I couldn't find the frikkin' thing. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

Oh look, another "Insurgence-idea-that-should-be-used-in-Reborn" thread! Game Freak is probably going to eventually release canon Megas for the Johto starters anyway. In that anecdote, I imagine that both Megas would be implemented, but the Mega Stone for the fanmade one would be renamed to "Porygonzite R" or something (with the "R" obviously standing for "Reborn.") With all that said, yeah, fanmade Megas ain't happening.

A lot of the features are pretty decent, but I can't stand the story. That's my main gripe with it. Maybe it's the lack of dramatic cutscenes. "Okay, time to summon Lugia! *screen shakes* *Lugia cry plays* *screen shakes* *screen shakes* *Lugia cry plays* *Lugia cry plays* *Lugia cry plays* *Lugia appears* Aha, Lugia has appeared! Now, Lugia, you're going to help me flood the world, even though the guardian of the sea would have no logical reason to do so!" I also don't like how they just pass out a bunch of super-powerful stuff early in the game. NPCs are handed Ubers left and right, while the player is given the strongest items in the game like they're pieces of candy. "You found a Life Orb on the ground!" "You received a Mega Ring!" "Player earned TM24 Thunderbolt!" The game didn't really feel like a challenge at all, even on the hardest setting.

Literally every Reborn suggestion ever: "Hey guys, this thing was done in Insurgence, let's do it in Reborn, too!"

Ooh, I'm liking the backgrounds for the Aqua Gang and Magma Gang!

Hm. For me, it has to be either Charlotte, Terra, or the Blake + Fern double battle. I'd have to say Charlotte barely edges out above the others, though. That Typhlosion had OHKO'd almost all of my team members before turn 3. You mean the Cinccino with Skill Link, the ability that lets it always hit 5 times?

Personally, I'd recommend EV-training after you complete Route 1. You'd have semi-easy access to most of the decent EV-training spots, and that's around the time you reach 7th Street.

I see what you did there.

Using a PULSE machine on your own Pokémon is like that one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh where Yami used his opponent's Seal of Orichalcos and then lost the duel. It's morally reprehensible, and it's bound to bite you in the ass.

To be fair, Larvesta is damn near useless until almost Level 60. I'd much rather use Growlithe at that point in the game.

I always imagined Shade to sound like a ghostly, raspy-voiced version of a cliché mysterious trenchcoat guy from an old noir film. To be fair, Grey DeLisle has a WIDE vocal range. I imagine Terra with a sort of Kylee Henke-ish voice, only not quite. A little more flighty.

...Yes, after it's ingested enough meteorites to simulate the energy of a Mega Stone.

Surpass it. Surpass God. Become your own God.

How about sets of menu frames with motifs or color schemes from each of the wards? Peridot, Jasper, Coral, etc. I like the idea of PULSE wallpapers, but that might spoil upcoming events for players who are just starting the game. Could players potentially "unlock" them upon completing said events, or is that not possible within the parameters of RPG Maker/Pokémon Essentials?

Sheesh, Episode 16 is like the breaker of souls. First Ame, and now Kuro. I hope you make a full recovery! It won't be the same without ya, Kuro.

SHE HAS RETURNED (Welcome back, yo!)

...She's twelve.

So you think it would make for a "better experience" to start from a drastically downgraded version of the current game? Ame has been polishing this game constantly with each episode release. Playing from episode 1 makes no real logical sense.

(I see a Need For Speed: Most Wanted icon on your desktop! Man, I loved that game.)

Train up your filler Pokémon. Heck, in a game like this, you shouldn't even have "filler Pokémon." Each and every team member should be equally competent and able to pull its weight. Isn't that kind of contradictory? Psyshock calculates damage based on physical defense, not Special Defense.

Or you presume to speak for people that you don't actually know anything about?

Eating up field-boosted Blizzards from a Froslass + Walrein with nothing left but a Blissey. God I love my Reborn team.

1. Nah. The game doesn't need to make grinding easier. 2. I guess this is okay (despite not being in the official games), but it might be tough to implement, since you'll have two Pokémon out when it asks if you want to switch. (I won't care if this feature gets added because I play on "Set" anyway) 3. If you want to do all the coding and spriting work for that, then go for it. 4. Your specific fanmade Megas? Definitely not. The ability for players to implement their own custom fanmade Megas? Also definitely not. It's not like that'll even make a difference, since we don't have the Mega Ring anyway. 5. See number 3. That sounds like a nightmare to script/code/whatever sorcery goes into making this game. 6. So, kinda like linking moves in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon? 7. HELL NO. I get that you want to make it easier for your low-leveled Pokémon to win against high-level enemies, but no. This doesn't strike me as a practical feature at all.
