Yep, Ledian still sucks.

There should be more stairs in the Subseven Sanctum to indicate it's well under Peridot. There are factories and multi-store buildings there with deep enough foundations to reach the temple.

The meaning of life is 42...

Huh... took me long enough.

How am I supposed to get a proper education if you don't let me touch your butt?

Decides to finally check out Discord
Reads about people too excited about trees, cacti etc.

Viri was playing a game at the time (using and battling grass types nonetheless). Others (I believe @Arkhi) were discussing whether a uni campus is cool judging by the number of redwood trees it had.

The procedure to remove an extensive bone tumor is really brutal. I couldn't help but feel excited watching it.

We know gym leaders don't train pokemon of only one type, so I got an idea. I would like to have a post-game battle with Radomus, in which he has a multi-type team and all his pokemon are nicknamed after famous chess masters.
-
It would be fun in Radomus' specific case, especially since his strategy (Trick Room) doesn't rely on monotyping or a specific field to be effective.
But I'm thinking that most of Reborn's leaders would actually be less challenging if they used multi-type teams. They couldn't benefit well from field effects, most of which are designed to benefit a certain type(s), and in this game field effects are often a big part of why some leaders can be difficult to beat (looking at you, Corey, Serra, Charlotte).
Not to mention monotyping is an essential component of what makes leaders' charm. I couldn't imagine Shade using something other than Ghost types, Luna with something other than Dark types, or Charlotte with something other than Fire types.
So, if we had rematches with leaders who ditched their monos, and aren't using their own fields anymore, it would feel a bit as if... we weren't really facing them, more like another ordinary trainer who would happen to have a full team of strong mons.
Just my 2 cents of course =3
-
While true that their main power comes from their respective field effects, they could still follow a certain strategy by ditching their monos. As first seen in Hardcore mode and then in the double battles with Florinia/Julia, they can pull this off quite spectacularly. Fern and Cain should be seen as work-in-progress. Even if they are no longer monotype users, they started this way, and adjust their teams to the given fields.
In my opinion, with proper planning they can be even fiercer. For example, I wouldn't struggle that much against Noel, had it not been for his Clefable, which is a Fairy among Normal types.
We could do something similar with others. Radomus is the easiest one to put almost everywhere. Heck, if we were to battle him in some place like the Glitch world, he would be even stronger. I could see him use doubles with Steel types side-by-side with Psychic types.
Another example I had in mind was Ciel, whose Flying mono is very prone to SR damage and could use the help of some Ground types or even things like Magnezone to trap and stop the Bolt/Beam.
Having the chance to battle 2 or 3 teams of theirs in the post game seems exciting right now.
We only need to work a bit harder to make it still be a challenge for 100lvl pokemon.
-
In Radomus' case, Steel types and Glitch field wouldn't synergize well, but I catch your drift.
On another topic, Noel's Clefable has never ever been a threat to me. His real ace has always been Porygon-Z in my eyes, but maybe that's just me, and I can talk only for standard Reborn, not hardcore.
Maybe I have a bias against leader rematches because it has always seemed a bit pointless to me. We've already beaten the guys once, as part of the story, and they were doing their job as leaders, experts of a specific type. I'm happy with that.
But for players who want additional challenges during the post game, then sure, it's a good idea and I hope Ame and the team will come up with ideas to renew these characters' teams and strategies. Provided rematches is something they have in mind for the post game at all, of course.

E18 release date??!?1?

I want a side-quest for clown Indra. In contrast to the Grand Hall trainers who appear as if they are travelers or old trainers of Reborn-city, Indra is the only one in the circus. He owns lots of pokemon, pretty well-trained, with good items to use, but just sits there to battle us. I am assuming he's supposed to have become strong by fighting with lots of trainers that pass through on their journey to victory (road).
Is he content with his position? Has he never wanted something more than a mundane job at a circus that was closed off of the city for quite a while? Didn't he ever want to be the very best like no-one ever was? Why did he take the time to grind up for his pokemon, not use them to climb to the top, but instead sorted them by colour? What is your backstory, clown Indra? Who are you? How did you end up in a place like this?
ps: btw the ringmaster is also a bit forgotten as a character...
-
It would be nice if mid-game ZEL got themselves a Type:Null . After the events of E16 it even makes sense to evolve it, as it will constitute indirect character development.

Nope, each of them picked them for themselves. Out of character, what happened is simply that Ice based them around the idea of giving each of them an eevee. In-character, it's kind of a coincidence that Zero and the sisters both happened to have one. (Ice's personal headcanon is that Zero found eevee abandoned somewhere.)
He had several ideas for their full team; the one he seemed to have settled for (pre Gen V era) was Umbreon and Weavile for Zero, Espeon and Bronzong for Eve, and Glaceon and Mamoswine for Lumi. An alternate team also happened to include Azelf and Spiritomb.

Nick freaked out. He broke a bottle and assaulted the other trainer!
The police have captured Nick! Nick lost $5000 for the bailout. Nick went home and had a beer.

With Gen7 pokemon being implemented, I would love to see some of them as candidates for the Mystery Egg.

I'm very sick, so I probably won't be around the following days. Therefore, I would like to wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year, full of joy. Let the new year bring you all the previous years have not been generous enough to give you.

Reborn has shown me that I too can be spiderman. I too can destroy an orphanage and burn the orphans.

Unfortunately I had serious connection problems and could not attend the Winter Party. Can someone please fill me in on what happened and who the new royalty are?

Me: Have you felt pain in your chest, and if yes, how would you describe it?
Patient: No, never. All I felt was 'discomfort' during breathing.
Me: Ok fine *moves on with Hx*
Me (later): Is there anything else you'd like to tell me that you think is important?
Patient: Yes, past week I felt pain in the center of my chest, which reflected on my left shoulder.Me: (internal screaming)
