  1. In any situation, Metagross and by extension Metang should focus on physical moves, not special ones. Psychic and Zen Headbutt are redundant anyway. Giga Impact is also a horrible move because of its charge turn. Normal moves on non-normal types are usually bad anyway. Ditch psychic for Hammer Arm, and my suggestion is to ditch Giga Impact for Bullet Punch (it is fairly strong and gives you Priority) Pursuit or even Grass Knot if you are determined to do something to fat Ground types.
  2. The plot. The challenge. The humour. The everything except the difficulty of obtaining Magnezone in newer episodes.
  3. Considering that I'm not Christian, I don't celebrate Easter. Although I suppose that that has no relevance, since anyone can celebrate any festival, but I don't mind an excuse to eat chocolate!
  4. TFW you have to do a lot of paperwork. Dammit.
  5. It's rather like the Charlotte tactic of fighting Fire with Fire. I suspect that a fast Dragon type of our own, like Noivern and perhaps even Kingdra or +1 Tyrantrum (if it manages to set up at all) will be crucial for victory, seeing as they too benefit from the field. Except against permanent-multiscale Dragonite, which will demand blood sacrifices.
  6. What worries me is why on earth would you bother to catch a dunsparce, let alone nickname it.
  7. Update: no art for a while because of exams. Sorry. Perhaps I'll post something I've done in the past, if and when possible.

    Hello, and welcome to Reborn! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here.
  9. Hello, Andrew, welcome to Reborn! I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here. See you around!
  10. Deer me, I didn't expect this to blow up out of all proportion! Dhan, you're excused. Spend more time learning about animals though; could mean the difference between life and death sometimes. I read a news flash about some kids in Adilabad who mistook a Russel's Viper for a sand boa and got fatally bitten as a result.
  11. It is I. Dhanush is not next, since he can't tell the difference between a moose and a caribou. Know your deer, oaf!
  12. Oh, boy, where to begin-- First off, I'm a habitual perfectionist. I derive pleasure from breeding and raising up perfectly IV-ed and EV-ed Pokémon, even in Reborn, and even in 'casual' runs. I view most Pokémon as mere temporary entities, caught for the sake of filling up the Dex, or, if they are competitively worthy of use, for breeding. Those few are simply bred and then discarded cyclically until I obtain an eventual 'perfect' offspring. Only that is named, and given an identity. Only that being is treated as more than a tool. I sound quite horrible, don't I? From an ethical perspective, I must be as bad as the people who created Mewtwo. Anyways, those that are names are by default only those that I would competitively use, and as such have a 'logical' name based on their role in battle or the anatomy or nature of their being. A good example of my naming logic is Tribulus, my name for all my Ferrothorns. Tribulus is the Latin word for a caltrop (which is the sharp four-pointed hazard which forms the basis of the move 'Spikes') and is also the scientific name of a genus of thorny desert plants. What better a name for a thorny, metallic plant monster which is clad in, and uses, Spikes? Other examples are Carcharodon the Garchomp and Pulsar the Starmie. In Reborn, names like Xylo the Heracross (from the genus Xylotrupes of Atlas Beetles) and Orion the Bisharp (from the constellation of the Hunter) are more examples.
  13. You are right inasmuch as to say that anyone has the potential to become a 'monster' as you put it. I remember saying something of this kind elsewhere, but it's appropriate to say it here again: we all have weaknesses and evils that plague our mind. But the power of the mind is to overcome these evils and keep them in check. I don't see why you should call yourself a monster if you experience the sort of emotions anyone would. A monster would be one who cannot control them, and you certaily don't fit that bill; rather, I am glad that you're opening up and keeping relatively calm at the same time. I have not, I think, had the felicity of meeting you before, but I am glad to make your acquaintance. It may not mean much to you when I say that I can relate to alienation and the associated loneliness and angst, but perhaps I can still impress upon you to overcome them and seek a brighter outlook on life. There's always good things in life that we ought to cherish. Please do feel free to bank on us. We are all friends here, even if you don't know many of us.
  14. You mean electric magnet UFO thing. I don't see any rodents.
  15. You're all damned impostors. Someone original is next.
  16. Ha, I'm starting to like your wit. Anyways, no point in rushing it, I suppose. All good things to those who wait, etc.
  17. *magnezone noises* someone who is not magnezone is next
  18. Oh, I am sorry if it caused you distress. Henceforth, I'll specify if anything contains a bird, ok? Thank you for your support!
  19. Aagh, you got me. I guess the pirate hunter also hunts ungulates. Chopper is in great danger, then. Why not hunt rodents too?
  20. This is too different to be edited in with the previous thing, so I add it as its separate post. Mods don't hurt me pls. This follows a general 'Pursuit' theme, featuring some of the best users of that move. More steel types, of course, but... [insert Vinny magnet here]
  21. More lineart of STEEEEEEEEEL! You guys don't seem to like it if I call it casual, so I won't... CAW CAW:
