  1. That Mega Azumarill looks broken and a bit... boring. It's just vanilla Azumarill with Mega Mawile's stats and none of its flaws. Also, isn't lowering Masquerain's Attack stat by 50 points a bit too much? Especially since it gets both Intimidate and Quiver Dance to help with its bulk. I like the Mega Feraligatr, though!

    Mega Florges

    HP: 78

    Attack: 65 -> 75 (+10)

    Defense: 68 -> 102 (+34)

    Sp. Attack: 112 -> 142 (+30)

    Sp. Defense: 154 -> 180 (+26)

    Speed: 75

    BST: 552 -> 652

    Ability: Aroma Veil

    Type: Fairy/Ground

    New Moves: Earth Power, Trick Room

    Honestly, Fairy/Ground Mega Granbull wasn't a good idea. Now Florges, a Pokémon with a symbiotic relationship with plants even though it's not a plant itself? A much better match, in my opinion. Aroma Veil fixes two of its main problems: Being completely stopped by Taunt and having no usable ability in Singles. The stats prioritize bulk, to compensate for the worse defensive typing.

  3. While I did think of Hardy, apparently I forgot to write his name. My bad! He's on the Radomus-Cal boat of having some characterization but no screentime, in my opinion.

    In fact, that's my biggest problem with Reborn, the weird character focus. Important characters that are central to the plot, like Anna and Solaris, got about two lines of characterization each so far and we're almost at the endgame. Corey faces a similar problem, given that his debut is the Wham Episode of the earlygame and he gets exactly TWO scenes before dying, one and a half if you didn't do the mystery egg event (also his death feels a lot more empty on that route). There's also Laura, who gets zero characterization other than being a complete pushover and knowing Kid Lin, despite being the strongest of the Belrose sisters.

    Meanwhile, Titania, a character whose characterization is pretty much "boring Saphira" and whose influence in the plot so far rivals Arclight's, gets an entire arc dedicated to her and My Immortal-tier character praising, in and out of the game. Surely Ame knows more than I do about her, but advertising the character as an independent fairy tale princess then having her be nothing but an edgy, Chaotic Stupid version of a character whose ruthlessness was explored FAR better, while giving her more focus than most of the central characters, just doesn't feel right to me.

  4. The lack of important male characters kinda irks me too. It's even more noticeable when Cain is the only one that's brought up whenever this is mentioned. Other than him, there's, like, villains who get two lines of characterization and nothing else (Solaris, Sigmund, Sirius, Taka, Corey, El), characters who are written around a single trait (Fern the jerk rival, Samson the dumb muscle, Bennett the horny teenager, Blake the jerk for the sake of being a jerk) and oddballs like Radomus and Cal who look like they're given depth, due to the fact that they're given some interesting traits, but in practice their characterization doesn't go anywhere because they're simply not onscreen enough. Cain himself isn't a good example, because he can be summed up in four words: pansexual, flirty, nice, fishnets.

  5. I'm pretty sure you're thinking about the wrong thing here. She compared herself to a baby Arceus because she created a world and shaped it to her own wishes.

    I'm pretty sure that she mentioned that she was going to set Baby Arceus free as thanks for creating her world.

  6. Mega Espeon

    HP: 65

    Attack: 65

    Defense: 60 -> 75 (+15)

    Sp. Attack: 130 -> 170 (+40)

    Attack: 65 -> 105 (+40)

    Defense: 110 -> 130 (+20)

    Sp. Attack: 60

    Sp. Defense: 130 -> 160 (+30)

    Speed: 60 -> 70 (+10)

    Type: Dark

    Ability: Unaware

  7. Also, I just remembered that Azoth can mean either "mercury" in Arabic, I think (as in the universal solvent), or "lifeless" in Italian and French (as in nitrogen). By the context, I think lifeless is supposed to be the correct translation.

  8. Azoth is a term used in alchemy for an universal solvent or something. It also appears to be a fancy word for nitrogen in some languages. Magiana will probably be a Steel/Fairy type, but I hope it's not, because it feels somewhat uninspired.

  9. Hate: The cave under the Grand Stairway. Those Digglets are the most frustrating things in the world along with the field. I'll probably warm up to that place in EP15, since the Cave Field got nerfed.

    Love: Route 3 and the Labradorra-Calcenon Control Center. While the Cave Field was still annoying, everything else was just awesome. It's also ridiculously good for level grinding as long as you're with Aya.

    Holy Schneizel, it looks awesome! It took me a while to realize that Luna was chained to that ritual table thing in the Subseven Sanctum, by the way.

  11. Easiest: Samson. I remember that I spent days grinding Gallade and Gengar to lv 60, only to give up halfway through and challenge him with an incomplete team. Venusaur stalled Hariyama, Mienshao, Lucario and Conkeldurr to death and Azumarill took care of the rest. Kiki was also hilariously easy, since Monofighting teams are usually rather weak and I always use Granbull.

    Hardest: Aya, mostly because I sucked at Double Battles in my first run. On my second run I realized that Meowstic was a decent Pokémon and started using it, making her fight much easier. I wonder how Fern was able to beat her with Roserade and some cannon fodder.
