Yep, Binacle has 0 points. Who's the least favorite? Geodude or Binacle? You decide!!

Let's just put green when we add and red when we deduct. Otherwise it's going to be weird. Ground (+1) -- Dragon (-2) Water : 21 Grass : 21 Dragon : 18 Electric : 20 Steel : 18 Fire : 20 Ground : 21 Ice : 20 Fighting : 20 Normal : 20 Ghost : 20 Dark : 20 Bug : 20 Flying : 20 Fairy : 20 Rock : 18 Poison : 20 Psychic : 20

Let them do Fairy. If they are unlucky and get a Stufful, I'll just laugh a bit harder.

Let's get this out of the way. This is anime-fanfic. Everyone involved in this thread knows pretty well an anime adaptation is not going to happen. That said, the protagonist is silent and all of their choices are pretty much forced. They actually no personality and it's up to the anime to provide them with one (or plenty). The suggestion of multiple ones to take over is the exact same Commander made but with different characters. The person watching the anime will only see different people take charge in different scenarios. That person could either be Charlotte or Ari and nobody would even notice. Besides, the story doesn't need to be followed 100%. It can't. While the main plot goes as the game intends it to, the adventurous parts of the "Reborn Experience" are always up to the player. Substitute those for multiple characters going for different locations and you're set. 6 is an arbitrary number. Besides, we don't need all of those to be successful. We'll need to fit in things like Savage.v2 in the story. I also don't understand why anyone would limit such a story to 20-25 episodes. It would be way too rushed, thus providing no time to build up on so many characters. An anime that takes on Reborn should be ready to go over 100 easily to cover up for all regions, all characters, all secrets and possible flashbacks we might need (btw the game provides so many opportunities for a flashback and side-stories).

Currently the standings are 1. Metagross 2. Flygon 3. Gardevoir At least others like my boy Aggron are getting some love as well.

So you are fine with Raichu, Swoobat and Leavanny, but Hariyama is a bit too frail? I'm not sure what to suggest since I'll be making bigger changes in your team to fill in the blanks. Are you not using more pokemon in rotation? To be honest, the easiest switch without trying to mix your team too much would be Leafeon in place of Leavanny and Lucario in place of Hariyama. Other thought processes that I posted before but mix your team a lot. Yet I am too proud to delete them Attempt #1 Attempt #2

Welp, 3 people already voted for Budew. Btw the percentages show the votes for each generation. I suppose you are going to compile the data from both topics to make an announcement or sth, right?

I wouldn't want them to make the same mistakes the anime-Ash does. So, no cutesy pokemon unless guaranteed to be powerful. If we go for multiple progatonists (btw I love that it feels like we are already planning this -- it's fine imagination all the way), their personalities match with the poke-choices. For example, if we go by the idea suggested above of a member being an archaeologist of some sorts, things like the Metagross sidequest should be theirs only. I'd rather have them alone in various parts of Reborn, doing things that the game protagonist does on their own. For example No1 goes for the Jasper/Beryl and Obsidia quests fighting the Tangrowths and then continues to search for the power plant and Citrine Mt. No2 goes to Coral and on a journey to Apophyll and Azurine Island then proceeds to search the lake No3 goes to the Wasteland, the Grotto and searches around Tanzan to check underneath, then go to Spinel No4 could go straight to Route 1, the woods, the Iolia Valley then Agate Νο5 could be straight from Calcenon and search around Ametrine, Labradorra, Agate city and the Circus No6 has to go to the desert and find out more about the Reborn world -- possibly discover the route to Charous etc I mean, if one wants to, they can divide the story into several branches and make each as extensive as they'd like. Joined things are also probable. Yet, a common adventure isn't that feasible, since 6 people constantly bumping onto each other tackling the same problems is quite tiring.

It wouldn't need to be a single story. With Reborn, you can make a lot of small simple stories about different characters and make them meet later. The scenes from the game can remain as they are, but we would like to see more of the rest of the cast. Frankly speaking, a protagonist with no dialogue does not make a good anime character. I could see it as a novel, describing all of their thoughts, their emotions, the landscape etc. In my opinion, it would be much more immersive than an anime or manga series. Of course the early focus would be on Ame herself, searching for new trainers to challenge the newly founded league.

So you are not even considering to use the Crabomination?

7/10 for the awkwardness of the red fellow. Points deducted for it being both X-mas-y and V-Day-y

To be fair, Game!Ame allowed quite a bit of nepotism to thrive in her city, which is... quite immoral. (yay back on topic)

May I suggest a TM04 for everyone involved? I am not sure whom you address likewise, but I implore you edit your comment. Moreover, I shall not tolerate trash-talking against mah boi Shade. He's the only guy person w/e getting shit done.

So... immoral huh? That was the topic or did I assume wrong? Yeah nah. No it's not. Well, it kinda is, since capturing little animals into tiny prison balls and forcing them to battle their brothers and sisters is kinda bad, yes? Then again, methinks this is a major part of the games since Kanto. What do you mean that's perfectly fine? Certainly the real world does not have such plots of world domination by an evil team, further motivated by religion. wait! Okay okay, so you make a bond, and friendship, and challenge the league... yeh that makes up for it. It's not that somebody mutilated a Slowpoke to sell as a delicacy. Of course we eat meat all the time, so we're cool? I guess we're cool. They removed the slots though, so... we're not cool. I want to spend my hard earned heritage to black jack and hookers dammit! I reckon I should make my own game with those two elements. hidden reference Alright, I've had my fun. Reborn and the canon pokemon games don't have the same target audience. In order to appeal to the more mature fans who always wished for a challenge, Reborn provides a darker theme, whilst trying not to be too edgy. All of that has already been mentioned above, so it makes no sense to reiterate. However it is important to distinguish between personal expectations and morality. As assumed before, people have a certain way to look at the franchise and Reborn bursts that bubble. it's a depiction of a harsh place to live in, similar to a few real cities. It depicts the underworld of pokemon and that's ok. That's what its aim was. If it's not your cup of tea, you may try something else. But trying to justify your own beliefs by branding the game as 'immoral' is denying your own immaturity. The player is a mere observer in most actions, but even if we were forced to participate in said immoral deeds, there is no harm done, since in-universe it makes sense. We traveled to a region deprived of all class, lived as a hobo for quite a while, and fought against an evil Team from the very beginning, given they tried to kill us before we even started. We still pursue the same goals canon protagonists do, exploit the mechanics of magical animal fights, and forced to take a side fighting against the 'bad guys'. In my opinion, it's perfecty okay that the game makes you question the behavior of the 'good characters'. They even call you out on it when Charlotte points out that the Meteors are just on the other side and fight for their own ideals. Some character's behaviors are either dumb or extreme, but since it's a fantasy universe, we can allow such people to exist and have pivotal roles in our games for the sake of story progression. Their dialogue has been rewritten and improvements can be made, but that should not be the focus. The game has a lot story-wise, and it does not crumble upon its own weight. But in order to close the debate, the drawbacks of the game do not involve the moral compass the protagonist holds. There are other games with darker themes that force the hero to commit attrocious crimes, yet they don't get such criticism because the source material either does not exist or is about the same. In my opinion, this very transformation is the main 'selling' point of the game. PS: The Patreon page is a recent addition. The game was not made to make profit, therefore such allegations are baseless.

I love how IntSys is the only one taking it seriously. Say hello to my little friend... MEGA PALOSSAND ~ In a world full of Blacephalons, don't be afraid to be a Palossand. ~

Yes, I wasn't going there. I wasn't aware yet, and thought people just couldn't. If they couldn't then it would be harder to check.

We used to have a list for every name an account has used. Can't we implement something similar here?

VTM is wonderful, but it made the WereWolves mindless brutes. I suppose I don't need to explain why that appalls me. Let me tell you a few things about this guy here, Typhoon.

E17 makes it abundantly clear there's a right and a wrong choice. That's black and white, regardless of whether you wish to hear it or not. Being lost in a desert alone is not bad per se. It's just indicative that you've already messed up. Now go to the SPICE to drink your sorrows down, maybe improve another forgotten part of this forsaken city and perhaps call Fern, see how he's doing.
