Um, I could use a little help with the sidequest where you have to inspect all the fountains. I inspected the first two fountains in the Oceana Pier, but the game won't let me inspect he other fountains. Am I doing something wrong?

Sub-Update: Updating Stuff

So, I noticed that the main post hadn't been updated in a while. I made sure to fix that. Now, it's all up to speed!

Additionally, I took a look around the forums and noticed that most people have been posting their teams with each status update. From now on, I'm doing it too! Here's the team so far:

GF%VJTVCVJyj (AKA 50% Villainous George) - Lv. 24 (Male)

BDnjfhweujn (AKA Bird Wodin) - Lv. 23 (Male)

#bvbhvbvhbd (AKA #Pumbud) - Lv. 22 (Female)

HJVKBIUccnjk (AKA Havoc Buck) - Lv. 22 (Male)

IUHN%&IKUN (AKA Iustina) - Lv. 23 (Female)

IKYv (AKA Icky) - Lv. 23 (Male)

Stay tuned for the nail-bitingly tense battle against Taka, ZEL, and the final Pulse Tangrowth!

March 26, 2015

Hey! It's been a while. Sorry I haven't been able to update this as much; between schoolwork and Rejuvenation, I kind of got a little distracted. I've hit a bit of a rut in Rejuvenation, though, so I figure why not take a break and get back on the Reborn horse? And so, without further ado...

Update #9: Taka Look at this Messed-up Tangrowth

So, I decided to mix up my team a bit to get ready for the Taka battle. I kept most of the team mebers, but to help counter Taka I swapped out Beseigi for Icky the ex-Shinx (he evolved into a Luxio during the trip through the Onyx Trainer's School).

Speaking of Taka, the fight went pretty darn well! He led with Lileep, and I led with Iustina. Iustina took off a good deal of his health with Force Palm, forcing him to use his super potion. Surprisingly, he chose to switch out for his Chatot, who then proceeded to wipe the floor with Iustina. I sent out Havoc Buck, but amazingly, despite the type disadvantage he managed to crush poor Buck through a combination of sing and chatter. I then sent out Icky, who then got confused and hurt himself once, but managed to tank another chatter and break through the confusion to take out Chatot with a single spark. I then sent out George to take on his Tangrowth, and managed to take it out in two hits with the almighty dragon rage. From there, taking out his Lileep was quite easy: #Pumbud used screech, then broke through confusion to end the Lileep with a bite. The Beryl Ward awaits!

And Pyrrhon that Helix Fossil is a disgrace...~~but I'm keeping it so I can revive it, then make it faint, and then throw it in the pc box to rot....~~

No, don't! You'll need it to get a Jaw Fossil from the Order of Helix!

March 24, 2015

the battle arena in the basement. go down stairs and it's the door on the left.

Thank you!

March 24, 2015

Um, I'd hate to be a bother, but I'm doing the sidequest where I have the find the kid who skips school at the hotel, but I can't find him anywhere. Could anybody tell me where he is?

March 22, 2015

Well, I just started playing the game for the first time and in the first five minutes a little girl got vaporized.

10/10 would disintegrate again

EDIT: Aaaaaaaand now Deoxys are attacking the ship. Greaaaaaaaaat.

Do you wanna catch a Goomy together?

DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAAAAAAAAAAN~ OkayI'llshutupnow

Update #8: The Flora Family

So, today I finally got around to taking on Fern and the Flobot! Fern was rather easy. I led with Billy G. Fio the Venonat, who engaged in a vicious grapple with Fern's Lombre as the two absorbed and leech life'd each other. Sadly, Billy went down in the end, but he managed to make Fern use his two super potions and paved the way for Bird Wodin to take him out with a well-placed gust. Next up was Fern's Roselia, so I switched to George the Charmeleon, who then proceeded tow wreck Roselia with only two dragon rages. Oh, how I love dragon rage. Fern's servine came out last, so I sent out 6% Gas to fight him. She did an admirable job, and almost knocked him out, but ultimately she succumbed to leech seed damage. Fortunately, Servine was left with only a teensy bit of health, so #Pumbud managed to take him out with only one pound.

Florina was... a bit more challenging, to say the least. She started with her Maractus, who got into a fierce battle of pin missile vs. leech life with Billy G. Fio. Eventually, Billy managed to eke out a win, and Florina decided to pull out her trump card- Cradily. I sent out Iustina in return, and after a couple force palms she panicked and decided to switch out for her Breloom. Deciding that two could play at that game, I decided to switch out for Bird Wodin, who then proceeded to decimate Breloom with a few well-placed gusts. Florina sent out Cradily again, but a few more force palms from Iustina convinced her to switch out to her Grotle. I then switched out to 6% Gas, but she managed to take the poor thing out after a few turns; 6% Gas' efforts weren't in vain, however, as she managed to weaken Grotle enough for Billy to take him out with leech life. Cradily came back out again, but poor Iustina ran out of PP for force palm and was forced to use arm thrust instead, an attack that did pitiful damage to Cradily, especially after it boosted its defenses with stockpile and restored its health with recover. Iustina eventually fell to several smack downs, but George was able to avenge her and take out Cradily with a single dragon rage. Did I mention that I love dragon rage? George then proceeded to one-shot Florina's Ferroseed with a single ember, leaving her with just her Cacnea. Billy G. Fio went out to take it on, but fell quickly to Cacnea's pin missile. Bird Wodin, with rage in his eyes, then came out and proceeded to wreck Cacnea with a few gusts, earning me my second badge! Onwards to the Jasper and Beryl wards!

March 22, 2015

Nice I feel only ever manage to beat corey due to RNG, his field is strong af, and I never seem to run any pokemon that counters his.

Are you fighting him on the Corrosive field or the Corrosive mist field? If you're fighting him in the mist, you can blow it away with gust or twister or ignite it with flame burst (the latter knocks you out, though).

Anyway, that sounds like you had a heckuva time, Pyrrhon. Kudos to you - you deserve it!

March 20, 2015

Update #7.5: Gamblers Anonymous

Hey! I was originally going to put the announcement of the new team members as a separate post, but I figured the gap between updates would be a little too long. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce Icky the Shinx and Vinyl the Trapinch! I have big plans for them in the future- and I should, because one does not spend hours of one's life gambling in order to earn enough points to buy a new Pokémon and then not use said Pokémon. Seriously, I don't even want to talk about, look at, or even think about a Voltorb for the rest of my life. Anyway, stay tuned for the Flobot and Fern battles!

March 20, 2015

I had a roughly level 20 Donphan with sturdy tank a hit and then use endeavor multiple times until El ran out of Full Restores. Then, I switched to my trusty Noctowl, who tanked a hit thanks to his massive Special Defense and took out Arceus with a Normal Gem-powered Uproar.

March 19, 2015

Update #7: A Pretty Boy and a Pretty Messed-Up Tangrowth

So, We got two new team members! Say hello to Billy G. Fio the Venonat and Ricochet the Oddish! I plan to use Billy for the Florina battle, and I might use Ricochet as part of the team once she learns Moonblast.

Anyway, Cain was fairly straightfoward. Havoc Buck went out first and set up stealth rock,and then rock tomb'ed Cain's Grimer to death. Oshawott went down quickly to Beseigi's mega drains. Nidorino managed to takeout Bird Wodin and #Pumbud, but they managed to weaken him enough for Havoc Buck to take him out with rock tomb. Buck then proceeded to utterly wreck Cain's Venonat, securing me my second win against Cain!

The PULSE Tangrowth was a little trickier. #Pumbud came out first and managed to land a screech before fainting, but Bird Wodin (who had evolved during the interval between Cain and the Tangrowth) was barely able do deal any damage to the Tangrowth before getting annihilated. Fortunately, George came out and proceeded to completely and utterly wreck the Tangrowth. Oh, how I love Dragon Rage...

Anyway, the next update may take a while to come out, simply because I'm going to have to do a lot of grinding to get Trapinch from the Game Corner. Stay tuned!

March 18, 2015

Keep the good work!

Thank you! Anyway...

Update #6: The Slums

I'd like to welcome to the team Lincoln the Pidove and Iustina the Makuhita! Also, remember how I said Havoc Buck wasn't going to be on the team? I lied. Turns out, he and Iustina will be replacing Kage Forbi and 6% Gas on the team (although 6% Gas will get a temporary comeback for the battle against Florina). They've been pulling their weight so far, and I have high hopes for them!

Anyway, the slums went by pretty easily. The only trainer (barring the Pokemon Gang battle) who really gave me trouble was the one guy with the Espurr, and even then it was less in a "fighting this guy for seventy hours trying to get past him" way and more in a "just trying to beat him with the right Pokemon so it can get experience" way. Speaking of the Pokemon Gang battle, it went by pretty well: Bird Wodin and Beseigi tookdown the first two Scraggy all by themselves, and when they got knocked out by the third Scraggy and the Scrafty, Iustina and George (who evolved during the slums excursion, by the way) took them out (gotta love Dragon Rage in the early game).

I'll be covering the Cain battle and the PULSE Tangrowth battle in a single post tommorow due to their close proximity, so stay tuned!

March 18, 2015

Okay, here's my cunning plan:

-Find an episode 12 download.

-Use it to get back to Reborn City.

-Revive the Claw Fossil.

-???

-Profit.

March 18, 2015

Update #5: More New Friends and Victoria

Well, thanks to a rainy day and Julia's defeat, I managed to find all the Pokémon I need in the Peridot Ward! Say hello to Havoc Buck the Onix and Eve the Surskit! My team's pretty good as is, so I won't be using either of them anytime soon, but I will be sure to go back for Havoc Buck once I get a metal coat.

The second Victoria battle wasn't so bad; 6% Gas took out her Ralts before the poor thing could even attack, and Bird Wodin and George the Charmander worked together to take out her Makuhita (a Pokémon which I'm definitely adding to the team as soon as I reach the slums). Her Pignite was a little harder, though: it took out George before he could even attack, and it took a good deal of 6% Gas' health off before she knocked him out via poison damage and mud-slaps. With Victoria out of the way, it's time to take on the slums!

March 17, 2015

Update #4: Julia Want Big Boom

Well, Julia went rather well. I led with George the Charmamder, who managed to take out her Helioptile in two hits while only taking negligible damage. He then proceeded to let loose a second ember on her first Voltorb, only to be knocked out in the same turn. Fortunately, he paved the way for 6% Gas the Grimer to come out and take out said Voltorb through a combination of poison gas and mud-slap. 6% Gas proceeded to do the same to her second Voltorb, forcing her to use her two potions before she knocked 6% Gas out with a sonicboom, leading to me sending out Bird Wodin. Luckily, the voltorb had taken so many mud-slaps that it failed to hit Bird Wodin even once, allowing Bird Wodin to take him out with several quick attacks. I then sent out #Pumbud to counter her Emolga; Emolga managed to paralyze #Pumbud with nuzzle, but #Pumbud powered through it and managed to wail echoed voice at the top of her lungs until the Emolga's eardrums burst and it fainted. She even manged to one-shot Julia's Blitzle and take roughly a third of her Electrode's health off before said Electrode ended her run. Beseigi came out next, and even though she only did minor damage to Electrode thanks to several charges that it had set up, the brave little thing kept shooting off mega drains until its demise, allowing Kage Forbi to come out and finish off Electrode, earning me my first badge! Onwards to the Obsidia Ward!

March 15, 2015

Update #3: The Mosswater Factory

So, the factory went a lot better than I expected! As much as I hate Fern with a burning passion, he actually proved to be pretty useful. He did well in battles, and his healing was invaluable. The team got a lot of levels (although they did get a slight bit uneven, but that's nothing some grinding can't fix). I even made sure to get the hidden ability capsule outside of the factory, as well as the hidden super potion and rare candy inside the factory. The battles were pretty mush the norm, so I'll get to the main event: the battle with Aster and Eclipse.

I started the battle with 6% Gas, planning on using poison gas to poison both of her Pokémon. Unfortunately, 6% Gas got hit by a smokescreen and missed Magby, but luckily she hit Elekid. With the poison and Fern slowly chipping away at Elekid, I focused all my efforts on Magby. I tried using mud-slap, but it didn't do much damage, so I switched to pound, which did far more damage... and also burned 6% Gas. -_- Worse, Aster and Eclipse used their potion on Elekid, bringing it back to full health! Poor 6% Gas didn't last too long after that, but she did manage to get a few more mud-slaps off before fainting. I then sent in #Pumbud, but the poor thing got taken out before it could even do anything. I then sent out Beseigi, who (working in tandem witth Fern's Snivy) managed to take out Elekid. With Aster and Eclipse stuck in a two-on-one fight, it only took a few turns for Magby to go down.

With the factory in ruin, all that's left to do right now is take on Julia. Here goes nothing!

March 15, 2015

It's nice to see how different ideas are blooming in terms of runs. Good luck with this challenge!

Thank you! Good luck with your run of Reborn!

Anyway, without further ado...

Update #2: New Friends and The Grasshole (Opal/Peridot Ward)

I'd like to welcome to the team Sarah G. B. the Bidoof, 6% Gas the Grimer, Kage Forbi the Poochyena, and Beseigi the Budew! Since I have an abundance of normal-types on my team, I decided to box Sarah, but I'll be sure to come back to her when I get the HM for Cut. Nothing too eventful happened during my exploration of the rest of the Peridot Ward, so I'll just skip ahead to Fern. Fern somehow managed to be really easy and pretty tricky at the same time. I lead with Bird Wodin and took out his Lotad in just two gusts. Bird Wodin would have taken out Fern's Snivy, too, but he used a potion and managed to knock him out via wrap damage. Fortunately, he managed to weaken Snivy enough for Kage Forbi to swoop in and knock him out with a single bite (which was welcome, as the poor thing kept lagging behind during earlier battles before it learned bite). I thought to myself, "Well, this was easy. I should be able to take out his Budew with ease!"

Oh, how wrong I was.

I send out George the Charmander to take on Budew, but I accidentally made him use scratch instead of Ember, giving Budew time to set up water sport, weakening any further embers. Budew then proceeded to paralyze George, then set up several growths and Mega Drain poor George into oblivion. Fortunately, George managed to set off two smokescreens before his demise, allowing #Pumbud to come in and spam echoed voice while Budew kept missing until Budew finally fell. With Fern out of the way, all that stands between me and Julia is the Team Meteor Factory. Tune in to see how that goes next time!

March 14, 2015

Update #1: A New Beginning (Opal/Peridot Ward)

So, I began my journey by choosing Ari to be my host and naming xym Yvefefbyefio (or, as xe prefers to be called, Yvette Bifio). I chose Charmander as my starter, mostly because if I didn't the only other fire-type I'd get would be Flareon, and that's waaaaaaay later in the game. Cain wasn't too difficult; all I had to do was growl once and then scratch him into submission. Victoria was a little harder, mainly because her Tepig hit George the Charmander for 25% of his health, but with a little help from the potion I picked up earlier I beat her. The rest of my time was spent catching Bird Wodin and #Pumbud, as well as fighting more trainers to level them up. My team would have consisted of more Pokemon, but I derped up and forgot just how many were available to me -_- . By next time I'll have a fuller team, so don't you worry!

March 13, 2015

"Okay, the train's pulling into the station! Let this adventure begi- wait, run? Run from wha- oh. Oh dear."

"Some guy claiming to be selling a super-powerful Pokémon? It's probably just a magikarp, but I might as well buy it... HEY! WAIT! GIVE IT BACK!"

"Bring it, Solaris! I'm gonna take you dow-" (sends out a level 75 Garchomp) "...well s**t."

"So, El's a bad guy? Okay, I think I can take him on... wait... Ditto, what are you doing- ARCEUS?!"

March 12, 2015

So, I got inspired by the "Ash takes on Reborn" challenge suggested by Raviel the Phantom (located here) and decided to suggest one of my own: The TPP Challenge! Basically, you can only use Pokemon that are in the victorious teams of the eleven TPP runs (including the anniversary run), or their evolutions/devolutions. You can all the winning TPP teams here.

Additionally, I thought up some fun bonus rules to spice the run up:

1) Find a helix fossil and consult it for advice before every major battle.

2) Give you and your teammates gibberish names, just like TPP.

So, what do you think? Let me know if you liked my idea!

March 12, 2015

Seismitoad all the way, IMO (ESPECIALLY if you breed Earth Power onto it). I'm using one for my Ash run, and Sludge Wave-induced corrosive field + muddy water wrecked Noel.

March 10, 2015

My pick for worst type varies depending on whether you're talking about offensive or defensive.

Offensively, I'd have to say Normal type. Sure, it hits most types with no resistances, but not having any types that it's super effective against seriously hampers it, and being resisted/completely ineffective against two commonly used types (Steel and Ghost) doesn't help any.

Defensively, I'm going with Rock. While it has good defenses and quite a few resistances, it has tons of weaknesses (many of which gravitate towards special attacks, which exploit the lower special defense of rock-types), and it's defensively inferior to types like Steel or Fairy.

March 10, 2015

So I'm doing the route 2 forest puzzle that involves the Pinsir's and Heracross'. I challenge one of the Pinsir's and I get this: http://gyazo.com/b28ad5a078f61e184be313158a83d0a7 This just isn't fair.

I know that feel. Just the other day I encountered a shiny Heracross via the forest puzzle. Wai Ame wai ;_;
