Water i dare you

Can you do it with nuzlocke rules?

Favourite moment ever

For reborn just start with Blaziken and the elemental monkey. You'll eventually get tepig, darmantian, numel can't think of any other mixed types.

All you have to do is sacrifice a mon that can still do some damage to him and kill him right after.

Any fighting move

I don't know about the nature/EVs/IVs of your Floatzel but my lvl 71 floatzel one shot 3/6 of her pokemon and lived through the entire battle. It directly took out Typholosion which was a big help. And the level cap is 75 not 70. i don't get the point of stealth rock, it's not going to damage against the pokemon she had. And you don't need to have EV trained pokes, Had a EV trained Seadra Prepared but my normally trained golem/floatzel did all of the work without eq.

It's a helix fossil, i even have two of it.

I have the helix fossil, but i can't star the side quest what gives?

Finish finals on friday , can't wait. Tried to start light platinum/ash gray meanwhile but they are completely unplayable. Might try something like pokemon islad/rejuvination/serpentine if this takes a while. Hopefully i can be patient

Did you no completely miss him having an Fraxue at route 1? His new roster caught me off guard, i think we are in for a treat when it comes to fern.

For the power items, the suggestion is to bump their price, so you wouldn't be able to buy them all. Having too chose between a couple. I wasn't aware that all pokemon are going to be obtainable at the end. Guess i'm going to have to resist catching them.

Just like many of you I was greeted by the infamous "so you wanna play reborn .." post before starting the game, a post that to this day sends shock waves down my spine every time I read it, but after beating the current episode i realized that what was described in the post is only mildly present in the game. Of course the game has constantly been changing via input from the community for the better but that doesn't exclude it from any analysis. Concerning Areas: Starting off with the state of Reborn City itself, an almost inhabitable area for pokemon with a poisoned lake and constant earthquakes it portrays the difficulty of the game and the state of it's world. Having no good wild pokemons before the first gym barring event pokemon made the game feel more challenging as well as fresh. But i feel that as we got out of the city that feeling never came back. I am not against the beautiful and pokemon abundant areas present in the game but have they been implemented too early? After just five gyms that feeling of being on the edge vanishes(excluding the wasteland) suddenly we can access vast open areas with a lot of new pokemon and with a decrease in specific event pokemon. Having too many secluded areas would be repetitive and boring but limitations to Pokemon availability and grass would have kept the tension. Concerning Money: At the beginning of the game, the premise of living like a hobo is followed, but as the game goes on the price of new items does not scale proportionately with the amount of money we get by beating trainers. It's not something that has started by reaching the point of the end game, but again something that has started just after leaving the city. Personally i have rarely used potions/revives in battle but ultra potions should cost more then 1000 and certain side quest related items like honey should get a bump in price. Also the power items are way too cheap, the game doesn't require EV training, giving us the items is a blessing in itself which is why we should choose between getting a couple instead of just buying all of them. Concerning Difficulty/Pokemon: Having not played previous episodes i can not comment on the evolution of the difficulty of the game, all i can say that it has been somewhat coherent with the premise. Every upcoming badge makes me prepare in advance and even then they take a couple of restarts due to the field effects. Fortunately knowing about the gyms in advance has been a blessing which i have abused so going in blind next time should make it more difficult. But most of the team meteor fights other then Pulse Tangela and Heather have been lacking compared to the gym fights. When it comes to pokemon ones like magikarp have been removed and many other tweaks have been made concerning their availability or place of availability. Overall the lack of pseudo legendaries makes the game more difficult but later on we get way too many strong pokemon without giving up anything. With the addition of the new floors in the obsidia department store it looks like Electivire and such are going to come back but concerning we still officialy don't have access to it then we can't tell when that will be. I don't know what future updates will bring but i hope we do not get a pesudo legendary dragon. Overall i think the pokemon we have access to is well balanced for the difficulty of the game. but their is a lack of choice or sacrifice. Looking at the additional 5 starter pokemon excluding the black market it would have been more rewarding to have different side quests or one major side quest where at the end we get to have only one or two. Just like how we have to sacrifice not having pinsir in order to get heracross but with pokemon that do not have type similairties such as a choice between a physic/ghost type. This as well as an increase in events and a decrease in the number of pokemon available in the wild(while keeping them in game via events) as well as more choice related events would make your squad feel more unique. In addition to that having pokemon only available to some characters in the game would add to that. One of the biggest bumps i had is being utterly destroyed by the Garchomp of Solaris, telling myself it's the only one in the game and how patiently i awaited a rematch for me to fight Garchomp again when battling Terra. Conclusion: Personally i find that the game has somewhat evolved from the initial experience i had, but at the same time it's beauty has given me amazing experiences that i didn't expect. This isn't a critique of the game, it's more of an observation with a couple of suggestions.

I really hope Julia is part of team meteor, I want to fight her again, sad to see a type not living up to it's potential. due to it being the first gym.

Got to be blaziken, got me out of so many sticky situations. When it comes to beating gyms, my floatzel has been very useful, almost as important as my blaziken.

This can only be for a fight with god himself, FERN! It's been a while.

She does after you give her medecin

After the whimsur go talk to someone just south of that, a guy that looks like a rock climber. He will tell you that he needs a house to live in(something like that) then go back to the house where you got whimsur and talk to the owner. Then back to the guy, then back to the owner, then back to the house withe guy in it as the new owner and voila.

Damn that 8th sticker was a long pain. Got all of them now if only i could find a download to episode 13 somewhere so i can get my dragon scale without spending hours praying on luck.

I have 2, thanks for the help!

Any idea where the power item/friendship berries are, ev training guide says they are in the 4th and 8th floors of the obsidia department store. But mine only goes up to floor 3. Currently up to date in the game.

Just finished the last episode. Terra took me a couple of turns, mainly because all of my fairy/dragon moves weren't super effective on her garchomp (field effect wtf?). Hardest overall was noel, easiest by far was charlotte, sweeped her team without losing a single poke didn't even have to use my EV trained seadra. Looking forward to future gyms meteor/executives, found some executives much harder then most gyms.

Do i need to catch any pokemons that have rock climb in order to use it out of battle or is that feature not yet in the game?

Hearing all the trouble Charlotte wise i caught 25 horseas, picked the one with the best stat, and almost fully ev trained it. But when it came time to battle her, i didn't even need even get to use it. My floatzel/golem swept the whole team by just using stone edge/hdyro pump and rain dance once. After beating the 12th badge i was going to plan to breed and train a new team but by the looks of it that isn't needed. Ofcourse we don't yet know how strong the league will be and if such things are going to be needed later on, but that is really far away. Personally i like the idea of sticking to most of your team from the start, making changes here and there, but at the same time i'd like the game to be a bit harder.

Caught 17 horseas but couldn't get one dragon scale, guess i'm going to push through the story and go catch a poke with compound eyes.
