I just realized that, if I include my as-yet-unevolvable Larvesta, I have as many pokemon on rotation rn as I do in my actual party. What a game, what a game...
-
Yup, these games aren't remotely easy to clear with just a team of 6 pokemon. I think the lowest I've managed was 9 on file? Then again, that was the run that managed to get hardwalled by one of the candidates for "easiest Gym Leader in the game" in most peoples' eyes, so maybe even that's too few?
-
IIRC @Paperblade did a run with just three mons which is IMO absolutely absurd. However, one of them was Speed Boost Blaziken, and they got most of the kills in gym battles.

I have to be something like 0/5 for getting the bike in Reborn. I just do the first gang quest and then forget all about it until after the orphanage.

Oh dear

Just beat Connel. I suppose I'll have to take on Sirius another time. I'm definitely doing another run to check out what happens if I fight him instead.
Connel was fairly straightforward, in as much as any fight my team has. I'm beginning to seriously regret not getting Shadow Ball over Hex on Cofagrigus, since it's so much stronger and is buffed by blackout field. Prankster Light Screen with Light Clay has and always will be absurd. Electrivire fell to toxic spikes+Hex.
I genuinely enjoyed the railnet puzzle. I'm currently in Tanzan mountain, looking to catch a Noibat for evolution.
Also, I got the corrupted pokeball. It's super funny that it appears in your balls tab after you get it.
-
I mean, they both deal residual damage and activate Venoshock, don't they? I guess on non-mist Corey's skrelp spends a turn setting t-spikes, but other than that....
-
I finally started Pokemon Go. It's actually super fun to have an excuse to just wander around on campus. So far my highest cp mons are Sableye, Alolan Raticate, and Sudowoodo!
-
I think he'll read the Ame terminal at least--she's his waifu, after all yeah but seriously I really hope he leads with Jacques or something, just so Sand Tomb doesn't immediately douse his tiki torch. also I wonder what he'll say to the longest battle text line in the game: x used nature power! Nature power turned into sand tomb! X used sand tomb! The field boosted the attack!
-
Showerthought: For a proper "collect-them-all" Poison monotype in Reborn, the whole poipole quest requires the runner catch every Pokemon in the game.
I for one am utterly stoked to try it, after I finish my current run of course.
-
Eh, I feel like as a hate sink he does his job perfectly well. He easily out-Garys Gary. There's never been a time I wasn't super stoked to kick his butt lmao
-
Me: *breaks all the mining rocks in bybyxion wasteland* Me: oh, this is where you put the Old Keystone! How do you get it?
Me, 5 minutes later: *surprised pikachu face*
-
You know, you're right, I was being kind of a jerk about it. I was actually super impressed that he didn't lose anyone to Julia. It's entirely possible that the support of his yt commenters and Twitter fans might actually be enough to pull him through. I really do want to see his reaction to Reborn's "good bits". The deaths, the gangs, the Pulses, how beautifully effed up every gym leader is... early shofu was before my time, but I feel like this is the best press we've gotten in a while.
-
That's exactly what I mean. You need a plan to either prevent the rain or exploit it, or else rockslide anorinth grinds your entire team to dust. As I was writing my earlier comment, I thought "hey, I kinda brute-forced it in the rain with Power Gem Ampharos..." But then I remembered that I specifically trained a Swift Swim Aqua Jet Floatzel to nuke down Anorinth before it could act, and even then Aquaranid made it kinda iffy.
-
Beat Aya for the first time! I'd like to thank my Gastrodon, for tanking sludge wave for ten turns straight, my Ampharos, for 1v1-ing toxapex, and Aya's Toxapex, for making this fight infinitely easier for me by sludge waving her partner every turn.
-
-
Gothitelle is mon I desperately want to try and use sometime, but unfortunately I was already using Meowstic as my psychic-type. Prankster light clay dual screens is UNGODLY.
I haven't really found uses for my shinies. I have two different shiny swinubs from grinding in the mountain next to shade's gym, but I already have ground covered and the next gym is ice anyway....
-
-
Yeah she's really the reality check for a reborn run. You brute-force up to shelly. you cannot brute force shelly.
-
True. My money's still on Shelly though. Anorinth and Aquaranid are terrors in the rain.
-
Glass gauntlet? Isn't that near the end of the game rn? I feel like something else will get him before that.
-
You know, I was thinking about monoruns, which got me thinking about a poison mono of reborn, but that's been done, so I started thinking about a poison mono of Emerald, 'cause it's fairly easy to emulate, but.....problem is....the first gym is rock and the only poison type you get before it is Dustox.
Guess that's not happening lol. Maybe in Platinum? at least then you have Budew.
-
TTT: begins meditating TTT: Ammmmmmmmmm
-
Loved this episode. I love how quickly T3 caught on to ZEL, even if he wasn't totally correct. Also his reaction to p tangrowth was AMAZING. I literally gained in respect *for a part of the game I liked already* due to this series.
-
is using hazards in Wasteland field worth it? Like, I understand Toxapex using Tspikes to spread poison, or mayyyybe sneaky pebbles against very durable bug/flying types, but....why use hazards when you can just kill them?
-
-
* Entry hazards are consumed at the end of the turn, returning a special effect to the side they were on:
Stealth Rocks deal type-scaling Rock damage double the normal effect to Pokemon
Spikes deal 33% max HP to grounded Pokemon
Toxic Spikes deal 12.5% max HP to grounded non-Poison/Steel types, and inflicts poison
Sticky Web severely lowers Pokemon's speedSticky Web being just string shot aside, they are potent.
-
WOW. I think me and Autumn just thought it did normal spikes damage, compared to tspikes dealing a little and poisoning.
I was actually thinking about Spikes specifically in relation to Forretress, since I kinda want to do a steel mono at some point, and nulling Aya's Toxapex's shenanigans while effectively doing them myself sounds fun.
I'd say the one thing holding me back is the lack of an answer for Rini's Ferrothorn. I suppose if I gave myself something like Drilbur or honedge* as my free extra starter then I could sd in its face and try and just break past it.
*With the restriction like a ghost mono I saw once where I can only evolve to Aegislash once I could get it normally.

I am blissfully unaware of all that spoilered content but I'm gonna go back and take beldum now. Sure the early game will be hell, but Metagross is my absolute favorite Pokemon ever!

You've convinced me to try this game myself! edit: it is a little sad that you only get one option though. I could kinda tell from the moment the player's mom says "you pick any pokemon that will follow you back", but it's still kinda dissapointing. Togepi is....really not that great.
-
me, fighting Aya: hmmm, there's a lot of spread damage coming in here, better set up light screen in order to combat it
Her Toxapex with merciless: I'm about to end this trainer's whole career.
(At least I can just set Reflect to weaken that damn Nidoqueen instead)
-
-
IMO I still think Shelly is harder. Like, Nidoqueen can OHKO most of my team, but that's just good offensive stats and coverage. She's not *that* hard as long as Toxapex gets left alone, since my Gastrodon can tank it easily. I figure I can get through her team easily enough once I train some new mons and change my battle strategy. My only worry is that Dragalge is just too fast and strong for my team, as I haven't really tangled with it yet.
Shelly though....if you didn't stop her setup somehow, her team didn't have a weakness. Which is real achievement considering they were all bug types.
-
-
Just caught up, I'm cautiously enjoying this run. I loved hearing his reaction to Florina talking about field effects! But yeah, Shelly is an oncoming truck and Ttartube has airpods in. I wonder if he'll get ZEL's deal right off the bat.
-
going into the bybyxion wasteland...
those graves....ame how dare you.
