hey nerd your game is cool thanks for making it

glad to learn that the train's captainless month was good art looks gorgeous, of course

I've started a randomizer file, and the run is both extremely enjoyable and also really lame, for somewhat connected reasons. It's really enjoyable breaking the game, but the randomness has made the boss fights so weak that breaking the game feels pointless. <blank move> was Night Daze, so my starter Darkrai had 2 slots of Night Daze. Leer was replaced by Spore, so running around early game a lot of mons just have Spore. I found a Xurkitree with Pollen Puff and it's Beast Boosting through every fight. My Brine/Fusion Flare Jellicent learned Quiver Dance at level 22, and we (I was screensharing with a bunch of friends) knew to level it up because we saw a Gastrodon use QD and through some careful detective work figured out that Water Pulse turned into Quiver Dance. Figuring out the stupid things we can do to break the game has been an absolute riot, I am a huge fan of that element of the gameplay. The issue is that it's all unnecessary. One of the best parts of Reborn is the difficulty, and the randomizer nukes that. The PULSE Tangrowth was replaced by a shiny Sliggoo. Gym leaders' teams no longer have synergy with their fields or their other mons, and even if the leader high rolled a really good mon there's a strong chance it will have a junk moveset. The player can spend hundreds of rolls sifting through random garbage to find a few gems, and the bosses are dealt 6 random mons and have no chance of competing with the player. I'm probably gonna just start up a new vanilla run because as exciting as the experience of finding stuff was at the start, the realization that the entire game is going to be a cakewalk is a total buzzkill. I feel like keeping boss fights/leaders/etc teams constant would fix this. Thanks for all of the work yall have done, I adore Reborn and I'm eagerly anticipating E19.

i play competitive mons. the ingame stuff/beating the game is barely anything in terms of time investment and is pretty dull. reborn is p great though.

really hoping that E16 comes out early enough that i can get a playthrough of it done before sumo comes out. i've played through each release since i found the game in e13 and seeing the changes in every ep has been really cool but sumo's going to eat all of my pkmn time after november 18th.

i will be as hyped as i damn well please and nothing you say can stop me.

tauros riding got shown in the latest sumo trailer, i wonder how much gf pays attention to fan games for inspiration.

woah, that's really cool. great job!

eviolite, rocky helmet, assault vest, life orb, leftovers, black sludge, choice x, expert belt, king's rock, muscle band, wise glasses, metronome, shell bell (would be great for neo apophyll), safety goggles (probably should be sandstorm related. either pre desert or found somewhere in the desert), toxic orb, flame orb, wide lens, zoom lens, scope lens, snowball/luminous moss/cell battery/absorb bulb, plate alternatives (dragon fang, poison barb, etc) that aren't already in personally i rather like the game without all of the overpowered items, plates are way more interesting to play with than life orbs. eviolite could probably make an appearance this episode as well as rocky helmet and black sludge. leftovers probably isn't that good when you have access to potions either, hmm. maybe life orb is the only overpowered item in reborn. or LO/eviolite/assault vest. idk. leftovers could probably make an appearance this/next ep though.

why are there apartment windows looking into the other building ._. there isn't even an alley to look into. is reborn city the haven for voyeurs.

poison fang and the wards both look great what's your twitch ame? would like to follow it for notifications on when the stream goes up i'm very interested in watching that, i watched the vod for (iirc) ametrine mountain and that was cool edit: nvm i found it by stalking your twitter

yep, confirming crystal plugs sounded a bit off to me. the progress looks cool, thanks for the consistent updates!
