Yeah the shadow mechanic was pretty cool, especially how they would get moves that are impossible for the normal versions.

Yo... That hurts my feelings you saying that about my fav starter in here... Lol. Jk. But really Electro Ball? This thing seems like it'd be more of a physical attacker than a special attacker.
Could be mixed. Like a physical electric attacker is ehhh since there's not a lot of good physical electric moves. But it'll likely have a signature move or something regardless.

Scorebunny Syndicate. GOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
Grookey looks like a fakemon at first glance tbh.
I figure blaze kick is going to be one of its moves, but if it's electric I'm thinking electro ball could be a thing too. It looks like a fast attacker, which we haven't had since Infernape. I'm guessing something of a glass cannon.
I wonder if they'll have signature moves again?

Gonna be honest, I thought the graphics looked meh. The overworld is fine, but the Pokemon themselves look like plastic.
Especially the glossy sheen on them during the battles, which is just bleh.
Like pokemon has never been graphics powerhouse, and generally nintendo games aren't. Like I'm not expecting a pokemon game to look like Horizon or anything. Frankly I care more about the gameplay and content.
and let's hope we get a nice number of mons this gen.
and guys remember, grookey's key theme is music(groove + monkey). His french name makes reference to this as well so that should hint as to what he'll turn into. I don't think he'll simply turn into a plain strongman gorilla, somehow that theme is going to persist into his design.
-
Okay after studying the starters more and reading impressions:
grookey seems to be music based, perhaps styled after a maestro? We see him using the head stick to rhythmically tap the grass on the ground to make it grow. Makes you wonder what typing he'll get later on...
Scorbunny seems to take after a soccer player, which is cool. This has me doubting my previous fire/fairy guess on his typing(though maybe he'll get play rough?) , sadly. I don't think he'll end up part fighting(makes sense but I doubt it) and pure fire would be boring, but his typing is what I'm most interested in. I've seen suggestions of fire/steel and fire/electric, both of which would be sweet.
Sobble is a crying chameleon, but what got my attention are how his hands are positioned in a sort of meditative position near his tummy. For anyone who watched naruto you might remember shikamaru's little hand circle when he would concentrate. I know that in regards to chi the stomach is has some importance though I'm not sure the specifics, so if this little detail is more than coincidence than we have a hint at perhaps a psychic or even fighting typing later on? I still feel ghost could be a thing too but hmm.
like this link sort of touches on the subject a little.

Hmm I was kind of hoping overworld following would show but so far non. I think those S/M walking/running models will show up for the soccer game.
My guess on the types they'll turn into:
Grookey- not sure TBH. Maybe grass/fighting?
Scorbunny - it looks rather whimsical to me and reminds me of a bugs bunny -esque character. Fire/fairy would be so rad.
Sobble - it seems to learn acid armor and looks fearful, and turning invisible seems to be a focus trait of his. Perhaps water/ghost?

Anyway Thanks a lot! If I get walled too hard by corey I know what to train up and use lol.

I swept the first hard battles with that Quiver Dance Wormadam. Fun Fact: all cloaks of Wormadam evolve at level 20, immediately learns QD (so does Mothim), and you get get Sand Cloak Burmy from the alleys in Peridot. Low Key Wormadam sand cloak is a secret carry for the Julia fight. Only if you aren't screwed over by the hidden power you have. But Sand Wormy has like ~100 base defence and low SpDef, SpAtk, and Speed, so QD turns it into a very bulky mildly fast threat. Also Fun fact: Wormadam is female only (Madam) and Mothim is male only (Him), and I have no clue how to pronounce their names. Wer-madam? Mot-him? Irre-levant? Anyways, if you ever play Memeborn, remember the Glory of sandy cloak Wormadam.
OH! ALSO! when I need to do double battles I keep Torterra or Mudsdale on the field, both can take my own EQs for days, Mudsdale gets insanely bulky (especially because I transfered over an Assault Vest like a dirty cheater) EV spread for Equporto 252 HP, 100 SpDef 156 Atk. Homie drank a Hydro Pump from Blake's Starmie.
Oooh I forgot burmy evolves so quickly, but I had no idea it learned Quiver dance on evolution now, that's insane haha. Though it feels like logically you'd get trash cloak from the alleys but I'm not going to ruin that by suggesting it to ame.<_<

Thank you so much! I'm trying to complete my pokedex right now, long way to go ofc haha
thanks again @Yahen and @Monochrome_Complex if you want your ferroseed lemme know!
Gah I was sleep, um... yeah ferroseed would be kind of nice haha. Especially with those stats/nature
I have to be at work in like 15 minutes but what time are you available again?
-
Welcome! Incineroar huh? Heh nice pick. But whoa, Mauritius? I...admittedly had to look that up, I never even heard of it. But I feel that's a testament to this game's quality, that people from all over can enjoy it.

What about ferroseed? It'd be *perfect* for my grass run plus it's one of my favorite pokemon lines anyway.
Anyway I did breed 3 budew right now, one has a calm nature with perfect special attk EV AND it's a girl, which is nice.
EDIT: 2nd just hatched, a guy but it's modest nature with 31 special attack as well.

One thing I dislike about ground mono is how they hit each other in doubles a lot. You have some great mons for sure(plus some real powerhouses) but magnitude, bulldoze, and earthquake hit the ally too so you're oftentimes hurting yourself in doubles. Also they're sloowwww. There are a lot of fun ones though. Also in the beginning you're pretty limited, there's like a grand total of 2 pokemon before pulse tangrowth? One which might not even show up(numel), one which requires headbutt(burmy), nincada I think maybe but like why even bother and your starter? Ah wait there's the onix too, forgot about him.
Guess it's not so bad. I'd take turwig over mudkip though since mudkip gets wrecked by tangrowth/flobot, making your rough start even rougher. Though I suppose julia's oricorio would be tough to deal with using turtwig.
-
Yeah these two are annoying, I forget which fight it was(I believe it's a later fight but I know they had passimian) but I had issues with them too and their passimian is nasty in how badly it can hurt your team.
Generally grass types are good for meteor since they use a lot of rock types(especially a grass with high defense like leafeon). One thing I find annyoying is how the liza/tate duo like to set up screens which will drastically hamper your offense
Do you have the movesets/abilities for your mons? It'd help.
I suppose they're setting up screens too which is hampering your offensive power as well?
-
Something's up with budew's info here, I didn't see it during night nor this morning despite satisfying the weather, is it post julia or daytime only?
EDIT: huh it finally showed up. I think rose incense can't be equipped either, and it'll spawn once you enter somewhere than exit out.
-
As a guilty gear fan, I was soooo aware of the meme in regards to the ever lovable Bridget. I used to think of it as simply a comedic meme but I wasn't aware of its offensive connotations until corrected on another forum. I thought it was an overreaction at the time(since I never saw it used hatefully just as a meme usually) but then after hearing a story in the news about a guy who stabbed his date like 100 times when he found out they were trans yeah I see why in such a context it's messed up. I don't think most people are trying to be dicks when using it but it's something that just has some really bad implications even if they aren't necessarily intended. Shouldn't be hard to cut out one's vocabulary, honestly.

I think people need to realize that competitive doesn't necessarily translate well to in-game too. like feraligtr isn't THAT great in reborn not just do to fields and being a water type, but also because the favorite competitive sets for him aren't available until very late in the game. Typhlosion neds up being better in reborn due to fields, similarly delphox and raw charizard benefit off the field system and have more effective movepools for the journey of the game.

If I could go through Reborn without evolving Torracat, I would. But, Infernape and Blaziken are objectively better picks, and I absolutely despise the Final Evolution to Litten's line. So there isn't a real reason for me to pick Litten.
Remove it from Smash Bros, and you perfect the roster of characters.
This is the wrongest thing I ever read
Incineroar rocks, I trained mine to be bulky and he was tough as hell, something fire types don't do too well really. I remember beating titania's aegislash solely because of Incineroar as aegislash foolishly went for shadow sneak on a low health incineroar, he survived, chuckled, and darkest lariated aegislash to oblivion. It was glorious. I remember intimidate being a part of my strat to beat garchomp too.
People who disrespect Incineroar shall never know true happiness.

Yeah, I would too, but I don't recall having any issues with it yet.
Regardless of that, I would also like to think that it's technically your responsibility to plan for the potential overlevel by holding back from the level cap at least by one level.
Hmm if you're right this is quite a revelation lol.
-
I would think B2B battles would still suffer from the disobedience, since it's technically another battle. Hence why overlevelling is an issue in regards to gauntlets specifically.

Took a look at hero hei's uploads before watching that vid, saw some SJW ATTACK MY HERO kind of crap(among other typical animu degenerate nonsense) and yeah hard pass dude. I was kind of suspicious off the obnoxious font on the thumbnail alone, but that guy is exactly the sort of usual suspect who'd of course look for conspiracies in these kinds of situations and him pushing for vic is not something done out of good faith or wanting to get to the truth as he claims, please don't be fooled by these self proclaimed "anti-sjw" sorts., which suspiciously more than one of your links seem to involve. You're gonna need some better sources to convince me dude, sorry.
ANN I've already expressed distaste for before, so I'm not surprised at any shoddy journalism from them. And swatting is just awful no matter who is doing it. People responsible for fabrications and such, yeah that garbage is NOT okay and really screw those guys., we should be able to agree on that. But I feel these things don't excuse Vic's actions which is the real issue, and why all of this is happening. He needs to be held responsible for them, especially since he hasn't for so long. If he is guilty of sexually harassing fans and workers and such, then shouldn't he pay the price for it? If not and it turns out to be a big nothingburger, then he's owed a lot of apologies, and somebody's got a lot to answer for.
Though I find it troubling is that you're siding with vic not because of his actions or the effect they had on those he acted on/against, but because you don't like what some of the people against him are doing? Hate to break it to you commander but those convincers you linked above aren't that much more in the know than you give them credit for as they're just anime fan youtubers who collected "research" and presented it in a way that frames the situation to fit their liking(and going by their general content, there's some definite bias going on there), which you seem just a bit too quick to eat up. Perhaps it's your drawing of similarities to your grandfather's unfortunate situation that's coloring your take on the situation but I worry you're falling into the sort of thought many conspiracy nuts end up falling into. It's a rabbit hole you're better off not going in, and one far too many especially younger men are increasingly falling into.
I'll admit, I'm not quite as invested in the whole vic shebang as a lot of fans as I personally don't hold VAs in a particularly high regard, as I don't to celebrities in general. They're still human, subject to human flaws and I find it foolish to idolize them. I mean when I see these guys talk like vic was their hero and #istandwithvic and stuff I kind of just roll my eyes, selfish as it seems. They don't know this man and it's not like vic saved the world or something, he's just an actor. It's kind of absurd really, but what we can judge vic by are his actions, and if his actions have been shown to be well crappy and something being held responsible for, so be it. But so far this whole thing about this conspiracy to take down vic and trying to absolve him of blame just doesn't sit right with me.
-
You say he doesn't seem like the type who'd go around harassing people, problem with this is that you do not know the man. People who do bad things, ESPECIALLY celebrities often don't seem like "the type" yet history as shown us that rarely does a person show their worst qualities in their public persona, and manipulative people know exactly how to hide these qualities from the public and lead people to believe they're not there(see Bill Cosby lol). The guy is married with a wife and daughter after all, there's really no justifiable reason he should be fooling around with other girls anyway. Fans shouldn't pretend they know vic, especially when his actions are showing him in a different light.
I understand wanting to take an innocent until proven guilty approach but it does feel like, even if unintentional you seem somewhat biased yourself in how much benefit of the doubt you're giving vic here, a very troubling yet too common problem regarding men in power in regards to harassing women. You call the cases "amusing,' which gives an impression of downplaying the allegations and there even feels like this sense of hoping he is innocent (which admittedly is a bit understandable as no one wants to see a celebrity they like turn out to be an asshole), but to me this sort of exemplifies the whole issue in how sexual harassment and general mistreatment towards women from men of power gets overlooked and excused in favor of defending society's little image of said man that's been built up.
I do want to see some of these sources from fans that provide proof of bias in these accusations, if you have any links, as they certainly help clear the point you're trying to make.

Or just any pokemon with Wide Guard.
This seems to be the case with the majority of doubles gym battles apparently. It helps with charlotte and adrinne too.
I should probably get it lol.
I thought
SpoilerThe gauntlet was already hard enough, especially since you don't know how many fights you're getting. Luna was the easiest part of it but the first and 3rd fights don't really need buffs, that said the gltich where the AI stops doing anything could stand to be fixed of course. I actually find that reborn's leveling caps discourage making gauntlets being too hard in general since they make it very easy to overlevel past it due to the large exp gains. Like my volcarona and medicham are already 90 after finally beating it after 6-7 tries.

Good luck! Sneasel as a starter is cool, though you won't be getting weavile for a while lol. I actually quite like ice as a type, always have.
I'm guessing vanillite is your next mon, but flobot's breloom might give you trouble.
