ZEL

I don't think Ame is gonna let me fulfill my dreams

Someone who suffers my company with much grace and flattery~ While I'm not sure if their ages will ever be relevant in the game: according to their creator, Lumi is 19, Zero is 21, and Eve is 24. Lumi does sound rather young in the game, but I tend to feel like that about the way Ame writes shy characters in general. Laura would be another good example of that. You've really got to think of the potential here: It'd be so easy for Blake to make Lumi uncomfortable and piss off Zero. I'm sure Eve can think of many ways to let someone's death look like an accident. She kinda owes you the favour after you took care of that Abra. "Solaris I'm coming for you" You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are grey You'll never know, dear How much I love you...~ "You've named one after me too right?" I recall Ame saying it wasn't possible to do this, or otherwise it'd probably have happened. Kid of a shame that it took me so long to check this run out, though. Considering E16 isn't gonna be out until 2030, it'll be a long time 'til the next season. ...Kidding. I haven't read your Rejuv stuff yet, so I'll just do that in the meantime.

You know damn well Fern would do this. I'd love it.

Completely understandable. You'd really need some sirius dedication to tolerate her.

I don't believe there's one from before ZEL, so ZEL's sprite would be all there is. Ame once said that their strange fashion sense is a result of the three of them trying to find a compromise for how to present themselves, but as far as just the body goes, there is no difference between Zero and ZEL. He's just naturally that androgynous. I also remember Ice saying that he thinks Zero would possibly have had short hair before, but he didn't sound like he had a strong opinion either way. ...I was gonna make a sprite set for Zero eventually, though, as I'll need one when I do my Dark mono of Reborn. Would just be fanwork, of course and I'll stick to long-haired Zero til death but I could post it if I ever get it done. I haven't even finished the set for Lumi yet

That's because that's not Zero. I have no idea who the character with the red eyes is, but Zero doesn't seem to be in that story/AU at all. He has yellow eyes, not red.

Yeah like I said, I got that the game started out as your way of putting the story of the Reborn league into an actual game, so if things go in a certain direction, I know why it is that way and can respect your choices. It's just one of those things that are a bit unfortunate in hindsight, considering the game gained a large fanbase outside of the original league participants, and as such, you're getting an audience that is detached from the game's origins. I think I do recall you saying that you didn't forsee this happening on such a large scale, but well, here you are, stuck with us. To many people like me, who only know the game, there is no difference between the characters based off the leaders, and characters who don't have a RL counterpart. Even after finding out their origins, I've never been able to treat the game's characters as anything more than just that: characters. So to me as an outsider, diverging from "league canon" for the sake of a good story always seemed like the better option. But yes, I can see that it would be different for you, and that it's near impossible to change certain things this late into the game. I suppose what I'm hoping is just that we won't get some unbelievable "hey look, all the important Meteors, Cultists and else are dead, but the leaders seem fine" moment. A fate worse than death? Well, I suppose Bennett did get unlucky with that hairstyle of his...

Lin may only have had one scene in the game so far, but with being the boss of Team Meteor, she's set up to be the Big Bad (unless something worse comes along). That we saw her die on Shade's gym screen doesn't mean that she would have to be the next person to die in the story. After all, Shade was the 4th gym and Amaria's scene didn't happen until waaay later, so there's no telling when the thing with Lin will happen. Could be the climax of the story, for all we know. The thing is, so far every scene we've seen on the screens did happen just as predicted. Corey did jump off Beryl Bridge. Kiki did get beheaded by a Garchomp. Amy did jump off somewhere and Tania ran up behind her. Amy didn't die, but the scene happened just as we saw it. And... well... Lin's scene didn't look all that healthy for her body. There's something about falling into pieces that looks rather fatal to me.

He said that "from foreshadowed", only two souls will be taken. Corey's death wasn't foreshadowed, as it had already happened by the time we saw it on the screen in Shade's gym. So what Shade told us here is that from the three scenes he showed us of the future (Kiki, Amaria, Lin), only two would be taken. With Kiki already having died by the time we got the above message at the end of E14, it meant that between Amaria and Lin, only one would actually die. Amaria's scene from the gym screen has happened by now and she survived it. Whether you interpret that as her being safe and Lin being confirmed to die, or think there might still be another way for Amy to die, that's up to you. Personally I believe Amy will be safe from death.

I don't think Aya dying now would invalidate her badge. With Kiki and Corey it's just that they haven't had the chance to give theirs to you before they bit the dust. Would be pretty irritating if trainers' badges got invalidated every time a gym leader died. Besides, what even would that make Shade's badge?

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
