Monochrome_Complex

I'm downloading reborn on my family computer to see if the same problem occurs. It could just be RAM issue as my laptop doesn't have much, just barely meeting the 2.00GB requirement. Thing is, it's actually faster than the family computer so idk how this will turn out. I think it IS my processor. It's 1.33 GHz and the game regularly approaches around 1.5 during battle . Maybe the site should kind of make note of that or at least give a good area of how good your processor needs to be in order to run the game effectively. And the family computer just takes too long to even get the game started. My old laptop never had these problems with Reborn.

I seriously can't even bring myself to play this game anymore now :/ I have a new laptop since my old one died, and it came with windows 10 which I never upgraded to on my old one. Thing is, the game is running twice as bad and is just unbearably laggy. On CLEAR days it's like I'm constantly playing on route 2 except indoors, where the lag is still noticeable. And during battle where the lag usually calms down it's still bad. The game just runs incredibly jumpy and sucks any enjoyment out it. Is there something I'm missing? Is it an essentials issue? Rejuv ran kind of poorly too so I think that may be it. Please offer any advice, I'd hate to drop Reborn because of this.

Nidoking is fantastic, A rank easily. It learns a lot of good TMs, remains strong the entire game and can utilize several fields well due to its versatility. One of my favorites in Reborn. Emolga I'd bump to A- because late game it can barely take a hit and has trouble hitting hard enough. It's still really good though.

I usually avoid early game noibats due to the fact noibat is like the worst dragon pokemon and Noivern isn't worth training it from so low. But I mighthave to this time since Corey will be pretty tough. -sigh- this new laptop runs Reborn really slow for some reason. It's going like at half speed and there's lag even in the menus :[

I'd replace Lucario personally with Mienshao, as I find Lucario's in-game level up moveset in Gen 5 kind of poor compared to gen 4 where he was more offensive. He doesn't get close combat until level 55...but gen 4 used to get it at 42 :/ That reason right there brings his usefulness in gen 5's main game down a lot for me

Dunsparce takes the cake, It's typing is ill fitting, it's based off a relatively obscure cryptid, it doesn't evolve, it's not particularly strong despite being kind of uncommon, it's hardly used by NPCs in the game, has seemingly random abilities, looks bizarre and stands out among pokemon's weirdos. At first glance you'd have no idea what this sorry looking dude is supposed to even be and even learning it's origins it's still weird looking and TBH doesn't really do its origin justice. I like Lickylicky and it's a clever take on the fast food Big boy theme. Probopass I thought looked stupid with the mustache until you learn they're iron fillings attracted by its magnetic nose which makes it a respectable and clever design. However it(and Nosepass) should've been rock/electric, GF dropped the ball there HARD.

Since dragon types are fairly scarce and igglybuff alone can't handle early game I figure instead of doing a monorun for one or the other to just combine the two types, meshing nicely for a high fantasy theme. I still have to redownload Reborn which I'm doing at the moment and is taking longer than expected(at least 20 minutes left ). Since I started with charmander on my flying run(who was fantastic BTW, Jt will not be forgotten), I'll use Treecko this time who I've not only never used in Reborn, but hardly ever used much in the main games as I ended up boxing him early on in ORAS and only used him otherwise in Emerald(where he was solid, better than Blaziken was at least).

Oh I was doing a water run in white 2 recently, I have all the badges and need to challenge the league. Some of the later fights post 7th badge can get kind of tough. Your team seems rather solid at this point. Also, see if you can beat other stages of the Driftveil tourney post game. It's challenging but fun.

Special defense probably, if not HP. As for my signature...Clefable either way, You gotta have the mental willpower to deal with special onslaughts lest they catch you off guard. You can cripple the strong with burning, slow the swift with hazards or paralysis, but a special cannon will wreck havoc given the chance and there's little way to stop them if they do.

I must know who these remaining leaders are!!!!

OMG Serra I feel your pain. Same nonsense with the glitch happened to me on my flying run, making an epic down to the wire victory into an hour long struggle of hax, bad rolls and rage. Serra is BS on monotypes with her world of mirrors. Good luck, hope you come back to this soon. But wow I didn't know frost breath reduced her evasion to zero when she uses it...Err can anyone learn a one hit KO by then? OMG Seaking

Ugh yes. Less so wild mons, with those they just need to be decent enough, but with event ones reset reset reset reset No single digits either unless it's a stat that doesn't matter.

Please no. Insurgence turned me off completely with stuff like Megadugtrio and MegaGolurk(keep your fanboying out of the game please).

Thing about Cloyster is that his special defense is absolute garbage so you have to be careful with who he's smashing on. If it's like alakazam or something and if he's not sashed, vested or behind a light screen he's screwed since they can easily one shot him with a strong special attack, doesn't even have to be SE in some cases. On the other hand a physical attacker is going to have a very hard time KOing him quickly enough.

Normal: Linoone Flying: Staraptor of course Cacoon: Wouldn't venipede line count as well? If not than Leavanny Pika: Emolga Pusedo legend: GARchomp

Wait wait wait You can get drowzee that early? Since when? I wish I knew that before :[

The skull on her waist brings to mind Houndoom so I think she's a dark leader, plus she she looks rather sinister. I laughed pretty hard at Grapevine Gallade as he seems like such a knock off of Gossip Gardevoir but it's cute in a cheeky way. The league already started though? I remember when Nicolas was bracket 1 and Venus wasn't even revealed yet. This got even more interesting, keep us updated Gally.

Nice win on Julia, but wow at Clair surviving a sonicboom and explosion.

^I remember making that very mistake in my flying run lol.

6 hours for that Eevee? I could not ever manage that, you're insane. Psychic FTW, it's a really good type in Reborn as I learned from my psychic/ice dual run. I had trouble with shelly but you beat her so easily.

Good picks actually. Druddigon should be the mascot since a lot of people picked him, plus he's kind of a cult following mon.

It's not cheating, but revives is essentially allowing the player to bring more than 6 pokemon in a fight by bringing back a knocked out pokemon, which isn't cheating as far as the game is concerned but is pretty unfair(a large reason the AI in any game never does it), plus it's just a bad habit to get into as you're not learning how to properly manage your team during battle when you should and might even use it as a crutch. The game only gets harder from here on and needs to have strong team options all around, not just cheap gimmicks. Hawlucha is a good pokemon not just for Samson, but for some tougher fights later on too which is why I recommended it. The guy above had a good strat with Sceptile too, one which I didn't even consider. I'm not trying to just give him easy exploits to win(plus it can backfire anyway if Mismagius gets outsped and one-shotted somehow), I want him to learn the game in a way that makes him better at it too while really learning the different nuances and details of Reborn, which I feel are lost by revive spamming. Destiny Bond is already powerful enough alone, which is why it needs you to basically give up a pokemon to use it. By removing that drawback using revives you've essentially just broken half the game. Sorry for being mean about it, I just really really dislike how abusable revives are which is a personal peeve of mine. If I had it my way you wouldn't be able to use them in battle at all but that's not how the game works so boohoo for me But, the really important flaw with your suggestion, and worth pointing out most, is that he's locked within Agate and Route 2 ATM, meaning that he can't go back and get Misdreavus if he doesn't have it already. It's fine to give advice, but I think if someone sees a flaw in the advice given, they should be able to point it out. If Sceptile dude above told me that removing Sceptile is a bad move and posted his suggestione, I would've been alright with it.
