Tyhplosion line has been incredibly good in Reborn due to flash fire and eruption. It turns one of the game's hardest fights(Charlotte) into one of the easier gym battles, provided you have solid backup. That said Typhlosion is actually my least favorite fire starter of the main games, so it's only Reborn where I have a fondness for him. My actual favorite starter is Infernape who is quite strong in Reborn as well.

On the subject of team changes

Having second thoughts about Clefable now. It's still a favorite but I'm not sure if signature is right. Gotta think this some more.,,

The almighty Colress battle theme.

Popplio, resetting for female though.

His ace is florges, no? We'll probably face him in doubles which is where fairies are most annoying to fight against as only sludge wave hits both at once(thankfully we have a TM for that). Florges Sylveon Megawile Azumarill Klefki Aromatisse or slurpff

Cain is great.All my favorites have been mentioned already.

It's normal, since shiny porygon in this game is simply his gen 1 sprite.

It was Neogaf actually. Also rather than realistic, I think believable is more what you're looking for. Personally I never expect realism from my videogames(nor really want it as realism is very restricting) but for me a good story is one that's believable within the context of the game's world. Reborn portrays a believable "if pokemon was a dystopia" scenario. At the very least, it's much more believable than say X/Y where people let a madman run around freely and nearly destroy everyone.

So on another big game forum somebody brought up Reborn and how GF could learn from it only to be met with immediate hostility and how Reborn was fan trash that's too edgy/poorly designed/overwhelms the player etc. The complainers seem to write off any pokemon fangame as garbage in general so i wouldn't take it too personally, but do you think Reborn suffers from being too "edgy" so to speak? Now personally I'm quite tired of this "anti-edge" mentality that's rampant among media fandoms as of late. ORAS was trying to be too edgy according to some of these people...feels like edgy as an insult is just becoming a bastardized term to apply to something that you personally feel is uncool. It's getting ridiculous, this "edgephobia" trend. That said, Reborn doesn't shy away from being a fangame and wears that title proudly. It's not trying to be like the main games in tone and generally does its own thing, edge included. Yeah Reborn is undoubtedly edgy, but I feel like it isn't a bad thing and further enhances the narrative. My only case of rolling eyes is Titania who does feel a bit tryhard and Terra due to how immersive breaking she is with some of her humor(though she is funny). Aside from those, Reborn I feel does edge pretty well and it works in regard to the overall setting and themes of the game. I'm kind of interested if the creators of the game especially ever replayed and thought, "eh I kind of wished this was done differently" in regards to this.

I've seen a lot of praise for Incineroar since the trailer so he's divisive at worst. Personally I think he's awesome. I preordered my copy today, paid the whole thing too. Now for the hardest part: the wait.

That ace trainer is so cute. my gooddddddddd sooooo hype for this game.

Thing about Field effects and what makes them brilliant is that the player can utilize them to their advanatge just as much as the CPU can. It also makes pokemon who otherwise would seem meh for a playthrough useful as they might have good field utilization(mist for example is great against shade and made Pelipper a lot more useful in my flying run than I would've expected otherwise).

Man I thought this seemed familiar when making this thread but I forgot the answer so I was like, "well can't hurt to ask again right?" But good detective work lol. That makes a lot more sense though. Living the rough life. Ame's answer: Yes, actually. Technically they've been squatting there. A lot of this will not be represented in-story, so I don't mind relating some back story from our online league. Cain and Aya's parents had a pretty rough divorce, and since dad was the breadwinner, so to speak, her mom wasn't left with a whole lot of options after the separation. I'm not clear on what kind of living condition she was in after re-marrying, but the impression I got was that it was a shoddy one. This is represented in-game as she resides in the wasteland because it happened to be a better environment than the streets of the city, and no one was policing it to stop her.

Just seems like a really weird place to live in willingly. Are they like, super hickish or so poor that it's the only place they could find? I don't see how anyone would want to live there willingly. How exactly did they end up there?
