ZEL

This is kind of exactly what I'm worried about tbh. I know the game is meant to follow what supposedly happened in the actual league, but if from now on all character deaths are gonna be restricted to non-league characters (and Lin, I suppose), I'd be kind of... really disappointed? It takes the suspense out of the game if we can just deem all the "good guys" safe and just watch from the sidelines as the antagonists fall one by one. And honestly, I'd be much more satisfied to see a "good" character die at this point of the game where some of them have been with us for a while. We barely knew Kiki before she got offed, and the same goes for Corey (if you count him as good). Their deaths were good for shock value, but at the end of the day my reaction was more "holy shit, Solaris killed somebody" than "oh no, Kiki is gone".

It's not the speculation thread that decided Heather is a Flying type trainer - that's what she's been in the Reborn League. ^^ The only league trainers who got slight type changes so far are Cain and Fern giving up their monotypes for the sake of their role as rivals, and Noel keeping his Clefable because it's important to him and just so happened to lose its Normal typing in Gen 6. And (E15 spoilers)

My friend made me read this and I have absolutely no regrets. I think I'ma stick around. Everyone in this household is sleeping and I'm losing my shit over "Blern". "And you do realize that the majority of Team Meteor are men right? [...] (Still don't know what the fuck Zel is so we'll leave it out.)" Well I mean, Eve and Lumi are female, he'd just have to look past the part where the body they're stuck in isn't. But who knows, maybe he's into that. "There's always Fern I guess but your standards have to be really low to consider him." #Blern "how the FUCK do they get the funding for this shit" Sometimes they go from door to door and sell cookies. Like the girl scouts, except the cookies are awful. Ametrine was really just a test to see if starving people would boost the sales. "...Is Cain...secretly a member of Team Meteor? Either that or he's woefully incompetent." You're saying that like these things are mutually exclusive. At the end of the day, I'm always glad to see others being just as bothered by heather being E4.

1. Route 2 // Viridian Forest remix 2. Jasper Ward theme 3. Wild Encounter // Aegis Cave remix 4. Meteor Admin Battle // N's Final Battle remix 5. ...Huh, I find it hard to even pick which to put here. The Deoxys Theme remix? Johto Ice Path? Mt. Coronet remix? Look, you can't just make me decide, that's unfair :c I'm inclined to pick Mt. Coronet, I guess?

Not as much related to not being aware of the pun, but when I first played Black, I was entirely too amused by the fact that Stoutland's German name is Bissbark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck They named the darn thing "Bitebark" and made it a pun about one of our most famous politicians and his moustache. I have all the appreciation for this.

I must say, though that regardless of how I feel about the last episode, I genuinely did enjoy this season for the characters and the animation. Purely from a visual standpoint, most of the battles were fun to watch for me. Which, I guess, could be one way to distract a viewer from some of the more lacking fights, but in any case, it was pretty nice. And as far as the characters go, I'm pleasantly surprised by how much more interesting Team Flare was than I'd have expected them to be. They were boring as all Hell in the games, but the whole Zygarde storyline made their anime counterpart way better than I thought they would be. I've also taken quite the liking to Shouta. That kid is cool. Overall I enjoyed XYZ, and while the latest episode is quite the let-down, I'd be lying if I said there are no redeeming qualities. Also, Bonnie, Dedenne and Squishy are goddamn precious.

I think I've seen someone post a picture of themselves cosplaying Amaria once, but hell if I remember which specific board it was on and when it was posted. I just know we've had a thread like this and one person actually doing it. They were looking really pretty, too.

I'm on my way to getting a nice sidecut eventually. Since I previously had an undercut, the new haircut turned out a bit shorter than planned, because the previously shaved parts haven't grown out long enough yet. But I'm still satisfied with it. Plus, I got my colours back. Now if only I'd stop looking like I'm 16, I'd appreciate that.

I doubt we'll get to Labradorra this soon. It's where Saphira's gym is located, and she's supposedly one of the last (if not the last) leader we'll get to battle. Considering it's the entrance to victory road and all, IIRC. And we still haven't found out what's causing the problem in Agate, so I assume we'll see that, too, before we enter Labradorra.

I just don't realistically see characters like Fern or Cain dying any time soon (or at all), whereas Taka is honestly my #1 guess for who will die. That's why I'm talking about him. And talking about ZEL is a thing I generally never pass up I find Anna's visions intriguing, but they tend to be more of a general observance about a character/their story arc, than isolated incidents in the story. So they're more worth looking at in a big picture. (Although I'll have to admit that Cain simply isn't a character I personally am super interested in. He's one of the characters who are just there, even if I find him likeable.)

[21:56] entreflores: Is my birthday shown in skype? [21:57] Zeledonia: august 18th it says [21:57] entreflores: Fuck I thought it wasn't shown :/ Can't escape your birthday wishes, friendo :3c So yooo, happy birthday, Ody! I hope you are as aware as ever that you're rad, a fun person to talk to, and to equal parts interesting, intelligent and humorous. I'll never understand why you PMed me in the first place, but I'm very much glad you did. You're an incredibly supportive friend, a great listener, and you always know a way to cheer someone up. Thanks for your patience, your care, your cute lil' pep talks, and actually maybe possibly definitely your entire existence. Have a good one!

Mh, so far our decisions in the game mostly resulted in storyline changes/expansions that are interesting, but not altering the end results drastically. It gives us lots of alternate/expanded dialogue and scenes (like Laura's participation in Tanzan, exposing Corey, the E15 end battle differences...), but in the end, all of them have ths far led to the same short-term conclusions. Whether this holds true for the story's actual end is another thing entirely, but I think that if our decision of whether or not we battle Taka in the WTC changes anything, it will likely only affect some dialogue/maybe give us slightly different scenes, in the same way that defeating Garchomp at Pyrous Mountain changed E15's end. So if Taka were to die, our decision to battle him might, for example, change how he gets exposed.

I'm not sure if Solaris would go as far as to kill Taka, but he does say that he feels forced to involve Lin at this point, and Lin might very well feel like Taka has screwed up one too many times. If she learns that Taka helped the PC, why would she spare him? He's only useful to Solaris due to this whole "protect the land" and "descendants of an ancient civilization" stuff, but since it's already established by Sirius that Lin has different goals than Solaris, an Admin who screws up like this would definitely not be useful to her. So IMO, if what you said is right and the next person to bite the dust is a Meteor character who gets punished for their failures, then Taka seems the most likely, because he has recently screwed up big time (not just failed to stop the player like Blake and Fern, but helped us), and from Lin's perspective there does not seem to be any redeeming quality to him. The other higher-ups are at least still useful to Lin in some way.

Why do we keep getting all those Bavarians I don't think I've ever even met a Bavarian on the internet before Reborn and now there's multiples! ...Err, I mean, hi and welcome to Reborn, of course! Greetings from the Münsterland~ that feel

Forget Pidgey, I'd want to see On a more speculation-related note, I think Florinia will be just fine. Saphira got Poison Fang'd by Sirius' Seviper at the mansion (if you go for the Laura team-up, at least), and while it knocked her out for a while she seems to have been fine ever since.

He must die so he can rise again and transcend the mortal plane And make it three times as likely for one of them to die? I didn't sign up for the suffering :c

Tfw Ame's tumblr is the worst spoiler 5ever

Saw your avatar, and for a second thought we'd get a new German buddy here. However, you're a neighbour, that's cool, too~ Welcome to Reborn! Same about the fangame experience, by the way. Reborn was my first, too, though I sure can't complain about that. And no worries, your English is fine c: Now if you'd finally accept Fern as your lord and savio- nah sorry, can't say it with a straight face. Enjoy your time here!

^Thanks for the vid! So uh

Lin's identity intrigues me. Because reasons. Especially the last two lines. How do we really know who she is?

Belgian, huh? Well, hi there and welcome from one of your German neighbours. (Or almost neighbours, anyway. There's a smaaaaall bit of shared border between Belgium and NRW.) You've got my attention. Especially with In Flames and Amon Amarth. You listen to a lot of Melodeath, or is that just a bit of a coincidence? In any case, good to see some Metal appreciation here. Anyway, nice to meet ya. Hope you'll enjoy your stay! [insert 'you're here forever' joke]

I want to sue whoever issued her license.

I missed you. I was worried.

Looking back at your past self and now (whether 'past' means childhood or teenage years or whatever is up to you), what do you think is the most positive change you went through in terms of personality, and which would be one you consider negative? Has there ever been a moment in a game/book/movie/[etc] where a character's development/arc disappointed you completely? Did it ruin the character for you?

Depends on what your usual playstyle is and how much experience you have with the game itself. If you've already played through the game and know what to expect, it's already easier than going in blind. If you know your steel types well, you probably won't have to think twice about what 'mons you want and what movesets and items you'll need. I think it's not the easiest type for a first monorun due to how little options you have in the beginning. While it is definitely doable, it can be a bit frustrating to go up against leader battles with a Wormadam of all things (though it is a viable option and sucks less than you'd fear it could). And... any of them except the egg 'mons, really. Their speeds are horrible and you'll have to wait so long until Pineco finally evolves. Klink's Gear Miss is gonna grind on your nerves. You're gonna stare at Worm-T and wonder how this thing can be less frustrating to you than your other team members. Oh, and do try to get Corey to use the Poison Mist field. Sure, that'll make fire attacks even more of a pain in your ass, but it makes Crobat incapable of damaging you at all. Once you get better Pokémon it becomes much easier, but the early game can be tiring. And if you refuse to use your 'mons if they're not yet Steel (Piplup, Pineco) it means you are literally stuck with Worm-T facing the first gym alone.
