  1. Nope. There's no reason why a virus would target a save file. Usually save corruptions happen when you exit the game in the middle of saving, ergo saving only part of the data(mons, switches/flags, variables, player position, and such) to be written down. Other times can be from bad sectors in your memory, but the vast majority of save corruptions happen because you turned the game off too early. In short, let the game save fully before you exit it.
  2. Depends on how the starters were coded as and how the Gen 7 moves were implemented. Naturally, I'd imagine that the mons will have both the same IDs in the PBS files as their Pokedex numbers, which will remain equal in both EP 17 and in this mod, so this shouldn't be much of a problem. The only issue here is that if any Gen 7 moves were added to this mod then odds are is that they'll have different IDs within the PBS files once EP 17 rolls out, so once the save data is transferred then the Gen 7 move will become a different one. If anyone's planning to start a game with this mod and then transfer over to EP 17, I'd suggest to only use Gen VI and prior moves in the mod and then use the move re-learner if you want your mons to learn a Gen 7 move. This shouldn't be a major bug, but when transferring Gen VII moves from a mod to Reborn proper you may end up finding some weirdness.s
  3. This is a Code Lyoko reference, right?
  4. Pretty sure it's not Poison. IIRC Venus is returning and she had a pretty high win-rate even for her bracket.
  5. I doubt it's Ice, to be honest. Gen 7 has made Hail teams significantly stronger by buffing Beartic as 130 attack and Slush Rush makes him a pretty dangerous sweeper in hail, plus Aurora Veil has given the type a lot of bulk, which was one of Ice type's weaknesses. Also Haley did have a pretty high win-rate for a b1 leader, so I'd imagine that Ice will go up a few ranks this season.
  6. Pretty much. Electric-types often have very poor coverage in general so this means that basically any Ground-type surrounded by a good core can easily wreck an Electric-type team, meanwhile Grass-types have several weaknesses and aren't that strong offensively, creating a lot of opportunities for sweeping.
  7. Jan probably meant the hidden members as E4 members that are within the league itself, not someone who has their own identity concealed. Also, us the eye icon on the bar at the top.

    HOLY ARCEUS

    Xain has a point. Ame was trying to Worf herself off in order to give Lin a sense that she's an extremely strong trainer. The issue here is that Ame hasn't really shown her power as a trainer other than simply stating that she's champion. If we'd seen Ame easily annihilating another strong trainer or so we could have a better idea of Lin's power, but since we don't we could possibly assume that Ame may not have been that strong a trainer in the first place. Basically, it's a show vs. tell issue.
  9. That and if you're not confident in your skills you can focus on an area(spriting, music, mapping, tiling, or scripting) and join a team. It's far easier to develop a single skill instead of several, so it would be far better for someone not certain of their skills to do that. I am making my own fangame alone, but I've had several years of experience as a both an artist and coder, so what you should be aiming for is getting the experience required right now rather than making a full-fledged game.
  10. I generally use they or it to refer to Pokemon as species, as when we're talking about competitive we're often talking about the species as a whole rather than an organism. Plus, he isn't always a male pronoun.
  11. Easy solution here. Just make her field effect remove the conditional for Gale Wings to activate. An if x || y statement would fit well there. For extra lulz, also make her field effect have the additional bonus of also applying Gale Wings' bonus to Fire-type moves. Start out by sending a Politoed w/ Drizzle or Snover w/ Snow Warning. All of Fire's weaknesses(Water, Ground, and Rock) are covered by Solarbeam so you can't really send out your sweepers against her in the sun without them getting 1-shotted. Plus, no sun means that you're removing 33% of her Fire damage output. Afterwards you're pretty much set to sweep her by spamming Rock Slide or Surf/Bulldoze/Earthquake provided your other mon has immunity to Water or Ground. For maximum sweeping lulz, bring 2 Gastrodons with Storm Drain and spam Surf. Just watch out for Energy Balls if her team has 'em.
  12. So far we know that she has an Aegislash, a Skarmory, and an Excadrill. Scizor would also be a likely mon as that was her ace in the online league, and if the pattern holds then the ace of all leaders stays the same regardless if it's in-game or in the online league. I really doubt that a gym leader of her level will use something too limited like an Aggron, a Klinklang or a Steelix. Forretress and Durant are strong Steel-types, but the fact that they share a x4 weakness with Scizor makes me doubt Ame will give her either of them. Mawile's a good guess, but since Adrienn used a Mega Mawhile I really doubt that it'll repeat the mon, especially as Mawile is pretty mediocre without its mega stone. Togedemaru is out of the question as it's a pretty bad mon in general. Klefki got nerfed hard with the Prankster nerf and the AI doesn't use support mons that well. Bastiodon is somewhat outclassed as a physical wall because of its x4 Fighting and Ground weakness. Probopass is a good pivot and would be pretty out of the left field, but still has that x4 weakness to Ground and Fighting that makes Aggron and Bastiodon poor mons. Escavalier and Ferrothorn are also good mons, but Escavalier's speed makes him too easy of a picking and still with the x4 weakness to Fire and whatnot. I also wouldn't pick A-Sandslash as aside from the x4 weakness to Fire and Fighting, it would work far better on a icy field, not something Titania would fight on. So my final predictions for non-legendary fully evolved mons are: Near Certain: -Aegislash -Skarmory -Scizor -Excadrill Very Likely: -Empoleon -Lucario -Metagross Likely: -Ferrothorn -Dugtrio -Bisharp -Magnezone More or Less Likely: -Probopass -Steelix -Klefki -Mawile -Escavalier -Durant -Bronzong -Bastiodon Unlikely: -Aggron -Sandslash -Wormadam -Togedemaru -Klinklang
  13. Err... would it still be possible to switch a few things in the team builder or is it too late? If changes can still be made I'd like to swap Durant for a non-shiny Forretress with Gyro Ball, Volt Switch, Stealth Rock, and Rapid Spin. In short, Durant was a little too much offense for my team and I decided to swap out an offensive steel typing for a more physically defensive one.
  14. Did a quick spriting of Skarmory's front sprite. Thoughts?
  15. Why the hell is Water Bubble even a thing? That ability's like Water Veil, Heatproof, and a stronger version of Torrent all rolled into one without any drawbacks whatever. This is pretty much power creep in action.

      Because a pokemon is the combination of stats, abilities ,moves,... . So giving better abilties is perfectly fine, by compensating on the other parts.

      Araquanid still has Water Absorb as another ability, and it's stats make it a pretty decent special wall and it's movepoll isn't that shabby either.

  16. Balance-wise, it's probably somewhat close to Gyarados-level of game-breaking potential. It doesn't have DD, but it does learn Hone Claws at 41 and Shadow Sneak at 14. Naturally it can also learn Play Rough, Shadow Claw, and Wood Hammer for coverage. Defensive-wise it has three immunities and only two x2 weakness, one of which is Steel and isn't used offensively often and the other one is Ghost, which is basically a type that counters itself. Plus, for utility Mimikyu can also learn Destiny Bond for Dimensional Rifts via breeding along with Thunder Wave and Will-O-Wisp through TMs. In short, he'll probably have to be placed very late as while he is similar to Gyarados in some aspects, Disguise mixed with the lack of his crippling x4 weakness to Electric, a priority STAB move learned naturally, more utility, three immunities, and double resistance to Bug means that he'll have far more opportunities to set up. We may see him in the next episode being used by a trainer, but as an obtainable mon? Yeah, not likely at all.
  17. If you need any help with Disguise, then Marcello or I can possibly help you with the scripting. It's a little more complicated than Schooling or Shields Down to implement, but we've kind of got it done already.
  18. So I saw that Gumshoos and I couldn't resist doing this... please don't hurt me.
  19. Pretty sure that it's not related. Hell, when I heard that name it first reminded me of the star and not the assassin.
  20. Wait... there's a Gen VII collab between several devs that's been going on? Errrm, I feel like a total idiot right now. I've spent like three whole days scripting the new moves/abilities all by myself for my own project. Also, do you plan on relocating a few mons with the balance changes? From Gen VI to Gen VII we got several mons significantly buffed such as Torkoal, a 140 Def weather setter obtainable even before getting the second badge, and Wingull that's pretty much a mon with Drizzle available right when you start the game at the Oceana Pier.
  21. Hardy would probably still not be faced until later on. In the lore he's one of the highest ranking gym leader in the region, so even if the PC had access to Agate we wouldn't be strong enough to face him.
  22. I'll register. Even though it doesn't asks for it in the OP, I'll provide all of the info about my team. Also, none of them are shiny. For sprite and trainer card, I'd like for my card to be rainbow-styled and my sprite to be Alice.
  23. So yeah, I've also been looking forward to this league. Looking for same feedback here.
  24. Salamencite is banned, though. Also I'm not entirely sure Smeargle would be a good idea. It's far too gimmicky and easily countered, especially in doubles or triples. Thirdly, that Mimikyu may be Adamant if you're going for bulk. Lv.100 Jolly Mimikyu with 0 Spe EVs gives 250 Speed, which doesn't outspeed most threats you're going to face.
