  1. Inability to participate is an issue that we can tackle as we move forward. If we reach a point in which this issue becomes a serious problem, we may as well return to 5 battles per week. With 15 people in each Nation, it does not mean 7 will fight one week and the rest the next one. If someone cannot battle for rl reasons, another subs. The problem arises when people who want to fight are left out for others that are deemed better by the Nation they end up in. If we are informed of the latter, we can assure you that the problem will no longer exist.
  2. Would anyone like me to make an RMT of a stall team?

      I mean, I always end up having at least one Pokemon that can deal with whatever situation arises. Still, "stall" is a concept that involves an entire team, not a single Pokemon.

      You know what I will say. You make it anyway, you will get a fair contribution from me, and you will also privately be the winner of my discontent.

      See, I personally absolutely hate basically every type of team except Stall. I find playing against other teams excruciatingly un-fun and find them ever less fun to play

      The idea that Stall "takes away the fun" from battle is to me completely backwards. The only fun battles are the ones where stalling is involved

      Bar full on PP stalling, because trying to intentionally force people to Struggle is a dick move on so many levels

  3. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil high-tech corporation for the people of San Fransisco are actually pretty nice.

  4. Everyone hates it the first time. It's not a big deal. People who are not regular drinkers are not reliable for surveys, since their taste buds have not adjusted to be able to differentiate among different kinds and decide on quality and way of making it. Every type of coffee is better than filter coffee, yet not every type needs to taste the same. I personally do not like its bitter taste, but it's usually a fast and efficient way to help me concentrate, and I tend to drink one during my breakfast (which may be something instant like a sandwich, a spinach pie, or something else from the local pastry shop). It is more of a ritual that most people get used to, yet some after a while, claim to enjoy it. That said, I usually make my own coffee at home. I buy coffee beans, grind them, and then brew them in hot water. This way it tastes much better than what you usually get from your quick-store at campus or those shops around the neighborhood that sell instant coffee to take on your way to work. As I said, I tolerate it because it helps me focus and be more productive. That does not mean I don't appreciate it when it's well-made.
  5. I'd rather have Nidoqueen learn Surf. Pikachu is outclassed by everyone at everything, and I refuse to acknowledge it as a starter.
  6. None of those knows how the type chart works.
  7. The following arguments may be condensed to a "better safe than sorry". This won't be the place to socialize. There are other rooms to do so. These rooms will be for strategy. Allowing everyone to join will just force people to search for other private conversations, like... Skype. A person that has seen things and is asked to leave, is more dangerous than a person who knows nothing. Penalization is not always possible and information won't stop spreading just because the person is banned.
  8. Why is Pikachu even in the poll? It's not a starter! Yellow never happened.
  9. Points at Littleo and Pyroar #LitterPokemon
  10. Technically speaking, those two have exactly the same stats.
  11. Meganium Overly simplistic and bad design. Resembles neither a dinosaur nor a specific plant Too shallow a movepool. It cannot function outside of specific gimmicks Has to compete with other Grass types that exceed in stats, abilities, moves.
  12. Litten is a cat that licks its fur (which has flammable oils) and throws it like fireballs. It's a cat, just like Liepard. Popplio is a trained seel/sea-lion that's doing acrobatic stuff and looks like Samurott/Dewgong. Rowlet is a silent predator that can watch over its surroundings and doesn't resemble anything we have seen so far.
  13. If not in Hawaii, where else do you hope to meet Dolphins? If not in a Moon version, where else do you expect to see a Werewolf? The future prospects make me skeptical. The pokemon company and gamefreak came up with fusions of normal animals, real legends and inanimate objects with certain personality traits depicted in their appearance, as the first pokemon. They had quite a lot of material to work with, reaching as far as Six, now Seven generations. A question that enters my mind more often now than ever before is "What's next?". Say we receive the dolphin and werewolf and ram, chubacabra, trout, cloud, gem beetle etc pokemon we look forward to. They can only fill 1-2 more gens. While I would be content with Pokemon ending up at a point where they provide us with a nice balanced metagame we could continue to play in the years to come after the campaign shots are finished, this may not be the case due to how they opt to change their games with every new installation to make them more interesting, or feed the old followers something to chew on. Discussions about type changes, moveset add-ons and stat alterations far overshadow those of new original pokemon creations. The fans' imagination is starting to run dry, only grasping at the few ideas not implemented yet. Chances are, the developers are also humans, so they find themselves in the same position. The strategy of "rehashing the same concept under another perspective" won't last long and certainly not appease the fans' frustration after a while. This wasn't meant to be a "the end is nigh" comment, and Nintendo keeps milking the few franchises they have made a success on, but every bubble will burst at some point, and I'm wondering if I'll still be playing when I see it pop.
  14. Types will remain a secret for a while, since nothing is obvious. I mean, at first sight you see Fire and Dark respectively, but there is absolutely no guarantee. What I can speculate is that the Lion is Physical and the Bat is Special, but that's almost a given.
  15. In hindsight, you can't demand a trial by combat in Mafia games...

  16. I'll carve your coffin with my claws and spit the nails in. #3edgy5me Jokes aside, you'll see the teams on Sunday, but the registration process is far from complete. So... matchups will take a while.
  17. Dhan is mine. Your petty teams don't stand a chance.

  18. That's exactly why I claim that the possible fossils will be Avian or Marine, since they have immigrated to the region or died and their bodies were moved there, probably sunk to an active volcano and enclosed in stone.
  19. All in all the action was coined "Bageling" and it's not the most straightforward way to win. I remember being in the winning team and not enjoying it. A bit. By the way, the names won't be predictable. We are not trying our hardest to name them, but if you are not part of the group, you won't be able to find that knowledge. Simple as that.
  20. Just so you all are aware, everything and anything created on the basis of Reborn, is Reborn's property and the people in charge are authorized to make use of it as they see fit.

      all I've made here are friendships, lame jokes, and posts I don't update near as much as they deserve, so most of that is garbage and the remains are kinda hard to take.

      There are two kinds of ownership on Reborn: the technical one and the moral rights. While what you say is true, people should not abuse someone else's creation for their own gain without at least consulting the other people first. Usually sites don't claim ownership for other people's work.

  21. Everyone wants Chubb lol

  22. This may be the first time the Pikaclone is actually competitively useful. not really The fossils are what most people expect, since Hawaii doesn't inspire for strong terrestrial monster-mammals. Most probably we're getting an avian and a marine creature. Perhaps even a Ghost/Rock in the form of a tiki.
  23. MEGA PYROAR Type: Fire / Normal Ability: Scrappy HP: 86 Atk: 68 --> 168 (+100) Def: 72 --> 92 (+20) SpA: 109 --> 49 (-60) SpD: 66 --> 86 (+20) Spe: 106 --> 126 (+20) This Mega is a joke. Don't take it too seriously.
