haha I had him in mind but so far none of the characters in my list really fit the Vicious archetype. Solaris gives off more of a Kenpachi-like over the top sadist feel as nickcrash pointed out and I personally chose the seiyuu of Lordgenome from TTGL, who is quite similar in personality and tone of voice. Perhaps as I continue casting I'll include Norio somewhere, maybe Taka?

Also the castings for Fern and Hardy is a direct reference to TTGL Nobuyuki Hiyama is the voice of Viral while Katsuyuki Kenishi is the voice of Kamina

S1 would be really long if it ended with finding Adrienn, the length I had in mind for each season would be no more than 20 episodes each. That's just me though.

I didn't even know a secret ending was in the works. Suppose it has something to do with beating Solaris on Mt. Pyrous? I also forgot to add what the Protagonist ' s team would be. I'll edit that in.

So I've come up with a fun little game for those of us invested in Japanese anime, and that is coming up with a theoretical Pokemon Reborn Anime! If you were in charge of making Season One of a Reborn anime, for example, which seiyuus would you hire for each (major) character? What songs for your opening and endings? What event in the game will be your season one finale? Which version of the protagonist would be represented in your anime? Which composer do you hire? Who will be animating it? Would there be an English dub (in that case you could list voice actors too)? Stuff like that. Alright I'll lead by example, if I were making the Reborn Anime...... Cast (work in progress): (Character / Seiyuu) Amethyst / Romi Park Darker skinned non-binary Protag. / Hiroyuki Yoshino Victoria / Kana Hanazawa Cain / Shin-Ichiro Miki (NUDISSST....BEEEAAAACCCHHHHH) Fern / Noboyuki Hiyama Julia / Yukari Tamura Corey / Kazuhiro Yamaji Sigmund Connal / Fumihiko Tachiki Saphira / Ami Koshimizu Sirius / Keiji Fujiwara Solaris / Narushi Ikeda Charlotte / Chiwa Saito Shelly / Izumi Kitta Radomus / Jiro Jay Takasugi Gossip Gardevoir / Emiri Katou El / Unshou Ishizuka Hardy / Katsuyuki Kenishi Lin / Yoko Soumi S1 OP: Abnormalize by Ling Tosite Sigure S1 ED: Sakura by Ikimono-gakari OST Composer: Sawano Hiroyuki or Shiro Sagisu (or both? the result of that would be way too powerful lol) Studio: Production I.G Licensed by Funimation because I want the Dub to actually be decent lol Season One finale: Protagonist battles Corey and the ending theme/credits play as Corey is about to commit suicide, accompanied by flashes of all of the main cast as Corey closes his eyes and begins to lean backward. Your turn! EXTRAS: Alright I haven't been very active here lately due to lack of time mainly but I'm back and am going to bump this because I've come up with a concept that may be very interesting and rather fitting for a theoretical Reborn adaptation. Instead of choosing just one variant of the Protagonist to be in the entire anime, why not just have them all? Or at least most of them. The anime could play out similar to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (my inspiration for this idea), where each protagonist either dies or is otherwise incapacitated for the next one to pick up where the other left off. I feel like this idea will give the chance to give each Protagonist a lot more personality rather than simply mimicking the bland and noble character of a typical Link-like mute protagonist from a videogame as well as include more Pokemon in the show. This also gives Shade and Amethyst a larger role in the plot. Of course though this would mean having to make some changes to a few details to the plot from the original game (both small and large), as I'll elaborate below: 1. In the beginning of the plot, Ame already knows about Team Meteor and most of their intentions, and is recruiting capable and trustworthy trainers from all over the world to test them against her Reborn League before Meteor becomes active again under Lin. The train bombing is an assassination attempt on her. The Reborn League itself becomes a disguise for Amethyst's initiative against the Meteors, this makes a lot of sense considering by the end of the playable game most of the Gym Leaders are actively fighting against them, and the few that ended up turning traitor (Corey, Blake, Terra, etc.) were likely to be valuable resources for inside information on Ame and Reborn, and scattering Gym Leaders across the region gives Amethyst a considerable tactical advantage, it doesn't make too much sense to have Gym Leaders stray so far from Reborn City if not for such a purpose. #Amethyst'sArmy 2. The protagonists are all former Champions from other regions, hence the last point about Amethyst recruiting strong trainers. The first Protagonist and the Indigo Plateau Champion (Vero), will be obliged to start over and pick a starter just like in the game, for the purposes of fairly testing him against the Reborn League to make sure he's up to snuff to fight against Team Meteor. This isn't such an absurd idea considering Cain and Victoria are both there as well to do the exact same thing and the fact that the Reborn League is miles ahead of any other region's leagues and clearly isn't designed for actual beginners. By the time Shade informs Ame of Vero's death Ame will realize that having the Champions start over probably isn't the best idea considering Meteor moved along their plans much more quickly than she had anticipated, and from that point on all subsequent Protagonists will already have a complete or close to complete team mostly from their region but within the limits of what you can catch in the actual game and they will continue to take the gym challenge where Vero left off. Of course, this will drastically change the few personal interactions the Protagonist has with other characters in the game and a couple more minor plot details to accommodate each Protagonist's circumstances of death, but I think it's overall something that can work. 3. Before each protagonist's imminent death, Shade will appear before them to either spare his/her Pokemon from the same fate or if he/she chooses, make a bargain for all of their souls in a battle against Shade. However, for most of the Protags, their Pokemon are in no condition to fight Shade's at the time this happens, so they will choose the former option. My ideas for each protag's death: Vero (Indigo Plateau Champ): In the case of Vero, he will probably be the Protag to last the longest given his popularity. He will defeat Shade, opening up the railroad for Charlotte, Cain and co. Instead of having Team Meteor immediately waiting for them upon opening the door Vero will arrive to join them right as Sirius, Sigmund, and an army of Meteors arrive to ambush them. Cain, Vero and the other Gym Leaders with them do their best to fend off the Meteors and escape but are ultimately overwhelmed (Charlotte only has her Ninetales with her because she left the others at Laura's house to keep them safe from Sigmund, yeah this is pretty flimsy but honestly if Charlotte had her whole team with her she'd have no problem soloing a horde of Meteors). However by the time their Pokemon are exhausted they are pretty close to what looks like an exit, so Cain decides to use his Nidoking to make the Railnet cave in to cut the Meteors off, but Vero points out as they're rushing to the caving exit that their own Pokemon wouldn't need much time to blast through some rubble (which they later do anyway) and that they'd still need to buy more time after that or else they would be at a massive disadvantage if they were chased out in the open. At the last second, contrary to Cain's wishes (oh yeah Cain x Vero is canon in this hehe), Vero rushes back to face the Team Meteor as part of the tunnel collapses behind the rest of the company. Instead of trying to fight however, Vero uses the same tactic Cain used earlier of making parts of the Underground Railnet collapse (injuring some of the Meteors each time) to annoy Sigmund and Sirius and make him a priority before they can continue chasing the others, not knowing that the others were soon to come across another barrier. After luring Sigmund and Sirius some distance away from Cain and the others, the floor beneath Vero unfortunately gives away from one of his Pokemon's attacks and he falls several meters to an abandoned basement floor of the Railnet, where he lies trapped and crippled before Shade appears before him. In no condition to battle him again, Vero requests that Shade return his Pokemon to Ame and afterwards Shade mercy kills him. After Meteor destroys the rubble barrier Cain pulls the same stunt as in the original game to reluctantly escape by himself. Before giving Ari the key to Bxysbyion, Cain is seen in Shade's lab mourning Vero's death. Ari (Unova Champ): Ari will take on Gyms 5-7 including Kiki. In order to make this one work, the battle with Noel will be moved to before Sirius and Sigmund launch their attack on Laura's house. After the PULSE Abra wisks Saphira and Ari away and Saphira tames the giant Steelix, Ari will return to confornt the PULSE Abra once again. However, upon defeating the Abra in battle, it will go berserk and teleport Ari once again, this time with the intention to kill, and as a result Ari ends up at the bottom of the lake in front of Laura's house, where she nearly drowns. Nevertheless she decides to go back upon thinking about the massive peril Spinal town is now in. Panicked at this sudden development right before Lin's arrival, ZEL, Sigmund, and Sirius desperately but reluctantly agree to help Ari bring down the PULSE Abra permanently, which they do by overloading the PULSE with Sigmund's Electivire while Sirius' Chandelure burns away at the Abra's power limiting armor, charging up for one massive teleportation that would make Abra faint for good without it's armor. After Ari defeats the Abra a second time the last teleportation goes off, the PULSE is destroyed, and Abra faints, but Ari is the one who gets teleported. After Lin takes down Saphira and the giant Steelix, Ari is shown soaring through the sky towards her demise after Abra launched her several miles into the air. Exclaiming that her lifelong dream was to fly without the aid of a Pokemon, she takes off her belt holding her Pokeballs and clutches them with her back towards the ground to protect them from the impact of the fall. Shade appears to collect them afterwards. Kuro (Hoenn Champ): Kuro will take on Gyms 8-10 and will read Titania's diary. After Amaria jumps off the waterfall, both Kuro and Titania make the jump to follow her, but instead Titania decides to land inside a cavern behind the waterfall with Kuro, and safely walk down the spiral cavern to where the bottom of the waterfall is. It's a perilous walk, filled with cliffs and drop off points, but no more dangerous than straight up jumping off the waterfall. About halfway through, Titania will push Kuro off a cliff as Kuro manages to hold on to the ledge, in shock that Titania pushed him. Titania steps on Kuro's hand and lets him take a lethal fall similar to Vero, either because Kuro indirectly caused Amaria to attempt suicide or because he saw Titania with the Meteor grunt earlier. Either way Kuro falls and Shade appears to him. Initially he appears to have died but much later on it will be revealed that Kuro took Shade's deal and won the battle, sparing him and allowing him to escape to Reborn City. Alice (Kalos Champ): Alice will be the 4th Protagonist and will take on Gyms 11-13. Ame has not released past Gym 12 so her fate has not been decided. Lucia (Sinnoh Champ): Will take on Gyms 14-16, Kuro will probably return as a supporting character by now. Decibel (Reborn Champ): Decibel will see the story to the end.

Pretty curious how many people on this forum play Defense of the Ancients? I'm seeing a lot of League and not a whole lot of this. I myself am only okay at the game in fact I haven't played in a while but I wanted to get back into it for my channel so I was curious who else plays this.

Illegal movesets aren't anything new even in the official franchise. Remember the Lanturn with Earthquake in Emerald? Lance ' s Barrier Dragonite in RBY and GSC Rock Slide Aerodactyl (it couldn't learn that in Gen 2)?

Hello everyone today I just wanted to share some plot and character outlines I had saved for a fan game that I never got around to finishing (I had barely started for that matter). Which is kind of a shame because if not for a forum like this nobody would ever get to see my ideas and characters that I put a lot of effort into. For now I simply want constructive criticism regarding both what is already there and what should come next as I flesh this out, because eventually I do want to get in touch with someone with the time and resources to make the finished story an actual fan game as intended. Anyway here are two lengthy documents for the world of Pokemon Krisis: This doc contains information regarding the setting and certain plot devices, I'd probably read this one first to understand some terms in the second doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yJ5pvjOBOxrzHSpDAjBGEwRLivm1Dr15ObiMqGU8iVE/edit?usp=sharing However, this document is the real meat and potatoes of this project, the characters, and along with it comes a lot of the main plot. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r6UgnTFrk72QaC40ybG27GEovBioeCOwa8iVKQtzCAk/edit?usp=sharing If you notice any cliches in either outline at least I tried to make them consistent with what each character is trying to achieve and the overall setting of a story that would be enjoyable to battle Pokemon in, so a few of them were pretty much inevitable, and I also based most of these characters on some of my co-admins, so some of them are still unnamed simply because they are not based off or named after anyone I know. And lastly, I know Pokemon Insurgence already did the whole cult thing (had no idea when I wrote this) but after having played the game my game's Veritas cults are far different from Insurgence's and play rather different roles in the story. Just watch I just know they're going to steal the Original Unova Dragon from me too.... I'm quite proud of how the Empress, Eras, and the Gym/E4 characters turned out in particular. EDIT: Recently updated with more details on Part 1 plot under the Protagonist section

Ah yeah I forgot about Intimidate. Too bad Gyarados got axed and the temptation to trade Growlithe for an Azurill is very real. Does Destiny Bond not work on it anymore? Or are there simply no obtainable users of the move by that point anymore?

I find it hard to believe that you can train anything faster than that Garchomp at that point in the game without going past the level cap. He also has Full Restores so you probably had to Toxic him several times then which must have cost you a ton of items. But yeah its just his Garchomp. Watch the video, it explains everything you need to know about the Pokemon I used to beat Solaris and what moves I used. Also speaking of Ice moves Amethyst decided to just make this battle completely impossible to win with conventional offense by including the heated ground field effect for this fight, so my Mamoswine's Ice Shard did absolute jackshit as you'll see in the video.

;__;

I'm curious about well first of all who actually managed to KO Solaris' lvl 75 Garchomp on the peak of Apophyll's Pyrous Mt. and what was your strategy? It's a lot harder in the recent episodes too because you can't buy Brightpowder or Focus Bands for this fight anymore. I myself trained a Cofagrigus inside Mt. Pyrous itself to gain valuable Def EVs from Magcargo until I could live Stone Edge and Fire Fang, then I basically just tried battling him over and over until he'd use Stone Edge or Fire Fang over a STAB move so I could get off a Curse. From there I'd just switch between a Fairy type and a Flying type until it died I'm sure I'm not pioneering this method either. Solaris has 3 Full Restores as of Episode 14 too making it that much harder to use any other method, though I am very curious if anyone could do something different. This video is pretty much just a demonstration of what I described above:

In terms of competitive viability Aggron takes this one, Rock Head Head Smash is too good to pass up, it has a better typing (though still not fantastic) and it's Mega Evolution is also really good. Rhydon really only has STAB EQ on it and I guess Eviolite. In a 1v1 between the two I guess Rhydon would win since Aggron is x4 weak to its STAB and probably won't 2hko Eviolite variants.

YOOO this looks really sick. I may have to LP this after Reborn. To be honest I wanted to make a fan game myself, even had a compelling plot and deep characters written out but in the end my crack for RPGMaker crapped out on me and I was unable to finish but a few maps, and then I decided to work on my channel more and I just didn't have time to continue. I may just send my outlines to someone else who can make the game eventually or write my own engine instead of using RPGXP though I've never been very savvy with that sort of thing.

I really can't say I ever have one set favorite but rather my favorite Pokemon changes over time. Right now it's Gothitelle. Shadow Tag is killer and I've used it to top the OU ladder plus it's best PokeWaifu

The Pikachu is crossed with Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica xD if you have watched the show you'd get it, It's honestly just a random placeholder picture. EDIT: Actually I will probably just change it to Gothitelle since it's my favorite Pokemon at the moment I'm on PS a lot for tournaments and suspect tests so I'll be sure to drop in once in a while.

If I were developing Pokemon Reborn...well...it probably just wouldnt be Pokemon Reborn anymore now would it? On the real though this game needs Fly, like, really badly. Or some kind of fast travelling. Reborn City alone covers a large distance for so early in the game and the rest of the map is no slouch in this department either. I guess this wouldnt be too big of a problem if the game weren't so unpredictable regarding speed. Sometimes it runs just fine but other times (particularly when it's raining or in Apophyll) it's near unplayable, and I'm playing on an i5 with 8 GB of RAM. Also I would do something about Azurill being obtainable so early in the game because Azumarill is fucking Team Player on roids. -inb4 Ame axes Azurill- shit, sorry guys ;-;

After putting it off for so long I finally made an account on these forums after being a fan of the game for so long, it really is a well thought out fan game and I've had tons of fun with it and learning how it all came together. I wanted to challenge the actual Reborn League as well but things got busy with school and I also compete in VGC and Smogon formats so I kind of have my fill of competitive Pokemon already. This year I'm competing in Smogon Premier League in the Underused tier, currently 3-0 in Farm League, I regularly vote in OU and Ubers suspect tests, and I'm also an aspiring PokeTuber, in fact, I'm LPing Pokemon Reborn on my channel! I'm also really active in the Pokemon scene on Facebook and I am an administrator of a 30k member group for coordinating battles, trades, and discussions. It's pretty neat. The Pokemon Reborn game holds quite a few fond memories for me, as it's essentially how I discovered the YT Pokemon community through shofu's playthrough of it and it inspired me to build my own channel for LPs and competitive battling content. On my first save file I made it to about the middle of Episode 12 where I got my butt whooped by Samson before I got a new computer and decided to just start a new game in Episode 13 and record a LP. In my life outside of Pokemon, I'm a college freshman majoring in Government and I like playing Ultimate Frisbee and am a huge fan of extreme metal though honestly I love all music. It's a pleasure to meet all of you!
