No, but he can get calm mind and confusion. He can set up for a sweep if protected enough.

Fighting monotype is not only doable, it's among the easiest. Your only real difficulty would be the psychic gym but you can get Scrafty and Pangoro before that. ...Even when fairy types come around, you'll have Lucario and Toxicroak to deal with them. There isn't really any gym (as far as I can recall) where a fighting monotype has any difficulty. Maybe Shelly, but Blaziken can easily solo her entire team (even in 2x1) with a correct set-up. For shade you also have Scafty and Pangoro... Yeah, honestly, can't really think of a situation where a fighting monotype will have any difficulty at all. Maybe when Ciel comes along that'll change. We'll see.

Kind of makes me question how much of superman's lore is actually known 'round here. As it happens, superman has several feats of intelligence batman doesn't have - Namely perfect eidetic memory, in other words, superman can literally remember anything he has ever seen to perfection. This includes, as it turns out, every gadget, trick and tactic Batman has displayed him. You may counter this by saying "batman is smarter" or "he'd just come up with another tactic", but neither are valid if we're considering batman as a normal human being. In other word, a creature with psychological vices. Humans have mental patterns. We do things in a certain way. We follow and favor certain patterns of thought and rationale. That means if someone with high intelligence were to watch you for a long time (Like fighting by your side for decades?) they'd be able to effectively predict your actions. Of course the same would be true of batman watching superman (as batman does after all have pretty good memory, even if it's not perfect like superman's) Then it'd come down to intelligence. Let's put it this way: Superman has outsmarted Brainiac, one of the smartest creatures in the universe, more than once. Batman has done so only with help from usually superman himself. When it comes to intelligence superman is equally matched if not equal to batman. He has shown several times the ability to defeat opponents with his enhanced intelligence, but the thing is, he doesn't have to. If we were to discuss a surprise attack on superman (assuming batman were to use kryptonite and engage superman in a place without sunlight to maximize his chances) keep in mind in modern-age superman doesn't lose all his powers when exposed to kryptonite. Notably, he almost always has enhanced strength, which would be more than enough to move away from the three meter/ten feet radius where kryptonite actually affects him, and then promptly kill Bruce Wayne. But it'd not even get there. Superman has super-human hearing. Batman can't sneak past it - Superman was capable of hearing batman's heartbeat when he was burried seven-feet deep into the earth, imagine if he was standing near him preparing for an assault. He'd react immediately and again, kill Bruce Wayne. Now let's discuss how exactly he'd do it. Here's the thing. Batman has human endurance. Let's consider the strongest part of the human body here - the femur, which can withstand about 4,000 Newtons of potency - and let's assume all of batman's bones (Mind: The ribs that protect your heart need half the energy, about 2,500 Newtons, to break) somehow need 4,000 Newtons of potency to shatter. Let's also assume his (super) muscles can somehow withstand an extra 4,000 Newtons of pressure, so he'd need a blow of over 8,000N (800kg of force) to break his ribs, adding an extra 4,000N on top of that to account for the best-case scenario regarding his armor, and batman can survive a direct car crash (Roughly 6,800 newtons) with his pecs. And walk out unscathed. Alright? Cool. Now let's calculate reaction time. He highest reaction time calculated in the website human benchmark is 100ms, 0,1 seconds, which is much faster than the human average of 0,25 seconds. Let's assume that batman's reaction time is that, then. 0.1 seconds. Peak of human ability. Superman can fly at mach 4 (before he could reach the speed of light, and he's most consistently flying around at mach 4, so we'll go with that) then his basic speed is 1361 meters per second, or 136 meters in 0.1 second. That means superman could cross about 445 feet before batman could react to him. In other words, if batman was near enough to attack, Superman could counter before he could even notice. Before his brain could even process what's happened, superman hits batman at 1361 with a punch to his gut. Superman weights 235 lbs according to the comics, or 107 kg. Let's assume he knows how to throw a punch - which incidentally he does, as he's also had military and martial arts training, and even if he didn't, a lifetime of throwing punches is enough to safely assume he knows how. So naturally he knows how to put the full weight of his body into the blow. Now let's calculate: Superman flying at 1361 meters per second, weighting 107kg, hits batman in the chest before he can react. Assuming batman could somehow react fast enough to clench his muscles and get his full 12,000 newton protection, here's the data: Superman is at 0 meters per second in resting position. Batman is 445 feet away. He approaches to 15 feet and has been within superman's super-hearing range for a while now. Superman moves to attack batman, moving to 45 meters per second to reach batman in 0.1 seconds, just at the edge of his reaction time, his acceleration is at 450 meters per second. ...So let's calculate damage. A mass of 107 kg accelerating at 450 meters per second delivers a punch of 48150 Newtons to batman's stomach. It doesn't just pass his armor. It doesn't just break his bones. It doesn't just harm his muscles. Even assuming batman has somehow three times the maximum resistance a human being could possibly have, superman would still deliver enough strength to blow a hole through him in one punch, before batman could even recognize what happened. ...But then that's also unnecessary. Because while superman doesn't move at the speed of light, the laser he shoots out of his eyes do. And those would fry batman before he even got near the kryptonite range. ...And with this I rest my case. (( TL; DR: Superman wins, I have way too much time, and I take comic book fights way too seriously ))

...That, combined with your avatar, just makes me imagine that you're the one going around murdering everyone in these forums. Welcome! And please keep me for last!

I'm interested.

Actually, a lot of the sprites in Reborn were in fact made my Amethyst in some way or another. Not all of them, but plenty.

Hello there Bidoof. Welcome! Be careful, you are a pokemon amidst trainers; Never know when a stray pokeball's gonna go your way.

(You didn't miss it)

Let's address these three one by one. Noted on the Sheer Force issue, however there is a bug reporting forum and "illegal move sets" should be posted in their respective places there, not here. (In fact, so should have this been posted there.) Illegal moves = No bueno. We want to stick to the original games as much as we can, to avoid any insurgent behavior. As for the other things you've said. Most of these are just the AI being smart, however, isn't it? I don't see anything there a player couldn't do, so how is thar a bad thing for the AI? That's calculated with random chance. It can happen there just like it can happen in any other (player) battles. Hopefully this has answered some of your questions. On that note, this thread should be moved to the bug reporting forums, I feel.

I admit to nothing.

Note: Clark Kent also happens to be a genius and at several times his intellect matches that of Bruce Wayne, so "brains over brawn" doesn't count. ...Secondly, If we're to be honest, Superman can kill batman from the stratosphere. If Superman wanted to, he could defeat Batman simply by outlasting him. He'll live forever, as it has been proven by many comics in which he has, and he is overpowered. The fact he's overpowered means he won't lose; Lastly... Superman has an anti-kryptonite suit he can use at any time he wants. ...And laser eyes. He's faster than a speeding bullet; He could kill Batman before Batman even saw him coming. To put it in this way: Batman's "grand" triumph over Super-Man in The Dark Knight is left heavily implied to have been merely Clark Kent letting Bruce win. And this was a Bruce Wayne who had prepared for months to kill superman and the only thing he managed to do was spout some pretty words and have a heart attack. Superman would win. Would becase much like Marvel's Wolverine, Batman will go undisputed as the strongest DC character not because he is, but because he has the larger fanbase.

Just because people aren't posting, I can't speed the story along. Or rather, I could, but then you'd get zero character development in whatsoever.

This is how this event is supposed to go down: "Oh look a vulpix! And I just need to go to the sewers to get it? Ez!" "Oh a Klingklang? I can #rek it with my level 35 blaziken! Ha h- Wait, level 45? WTF? OH GOD NO STOP MY EVERYTHING HURTS PLEASE NO WHY WOULD ANYONE BE THIS CRUEL TO ME" ...But I guess it didn't go that way. Revisions are in order.

A dark soul, eh? Are you the next monarch? Or merely a pawn of fate? Or perhaps you are simply an undead, making pilgrimage to the land of the gods? Either way, like a moth to a flame, your wings will burn over and over again in anguish. Welcome.

You want to design games? That's pretty cool. When I entered the programming business I actually wanted to be on the other side of game development, myself (the coding part, that is, though game design and storyline also appeal very much to me). Have you ever had the chance to design a game yet?

I much prefer my current title. Plus, it already sort-of implies I'm a soul-sucking monster, anyway.

Obviously. What other motive would I have?

I know, right? I tried.

I, for one, suggested we changed all hair colors to red and gave all pokemon red wigs. Amethyst refused.

Haaa, see what I did there? A quick explanation on my status as a "Developer" : I've been aiding Amethyst for a while now, while requesting to keep my assistance a secret. As it were, I'd rather not claim credit for something that I don't feel is essentially mine - The game is Amethyst's, and I felt taking credit for any part of it wouldn't be fair. Due to this, I requested that until such a time where I could be considered part of the development team in a grander way instead of simply "being someone who codes things", I wouldn't be recognized for anything I did. It has since been decided that the time's come, so I have accepted the position. In a nutshell, I didn't want to be credited until credit was due, as there are people who've put way more effort than I have into this game, and the recognition for it should be solely theirs. Either way, I'm really honored to be given this position, and I will do my utmost to uphold what is expected of it. Lastly, I'd like to state that I hold no position of import. I've specifically requested to be neither staff nor moderator, and the single reason why I've been given a "developer" member status is to have access to development logs so I could do things more efficiently. I believe that's all. Thank you for your time.

...Well, not to get off-topic here, I guess I shoulda post something somewhere regarding this. Maybe

Well, I mean. ...It doesn't mean I can actually do that. ...Ame won't let me.

One thing that I'd like to see is removing the starters in exchange for more varied types and different pokemon, and making the starters late-game event pokemon.

What's the square root of 69 times 3 to the power of 1337 minus 4? Also, link to your stream and your streaming schedule might be interesting to those who'd want to watch.
