ZEL

If he bullies them he's cancelled jk jk. Seeing how he doesn't seem to do much voice acting, it at least looks I don't have to pray in that department He'll be pleased when he realizes he was right about the whole "dangerous experiments" thing. I do love seeing people's reactions to the first PULSE.

"Yo what if there's some crazy experiments going on around here" :] :]]] I'm rooting for Kiki, I'm hoping she will outlast her namesake

I am highkey here for how wholesome his tension and reactions during the gym battle were It's such a breather to watch someone play this game and not bitch about it every couple seconds, I'm genuinely enjoying this. Yes, even if half the tension was from him misunderstanding how the disobeying thing works - it was fun to watch :]

"This is our pet dog and we're never gonna let her die" You named her after the right person then :^) I'm not much into youtubers so I've actually (once again) never heard of this dude before, but I just watched the three episodes he has out, and I think I like him so far. If he stays this excitable after getting through a few of the harder battles, it'd be great. He's trying to follow the story and makes an effort to explore things, that's really all I want from people doing playthroughs of Reborn. Consider me interested.

See, this is why we should delete Terra. Welcome back, reborn forums.

Y'all just can't handle Azery's swag smh cowards Nominate him for Ember King at least, ya heartless tyrants! Also nominating Ruby for Midsummer Queen uwu

guess it's time to get ready for reborn's exciting secret sequel, pokemon redeath it's where you get to beat the dead horse all jokes aside, I get that feeling. I'm glad there's more cool fangames in the works that still have some way to go. That way we can get our pokemon fix and still be excited for the next things ame has planned but hey, reborn was my first fangame experience, it will absolutely feel weird not to have any more episode progress to follow

I've told many lies in my life, but I'd never dare speak such blatant ones. Welcome to Reborn, nice to have ya!

Adding more mons to the team is always a good idea when you're struggling, but I disagree that it's not possible with what you have. I just tested this team out on debug and beat the battle first try. Lead with Combusken and Roselia, got two layers of Toxic Spikes up right away. Defeated ZEL's team first - Combusken dealt with Glaceon, wanted to be careful and switched it out for Meowstic when Espeon was on the field and only brought it back in once Umbreon was there. Pachirisu can take Chatot on easily. Tangrowth goes down to Meowstic and a filler 'mon. i used Pachirisu there since it was already on the field for Chatot anyway. The tspikes really helped with Tangrowth, chipping down the health on a bulky mon. Roselia can help itself pretty well with draining moves, but if you have potions to spare you can make your life even easier.

How are you currently going about battling them? Which Pokémon gives you the most trouble? One of the better ideas is to focus on taking out one team first; personally I'd say it's easiest if you first deal with ZEL's team before taking on Taka's. Trying to battle both at the same time can get you in annoying situations - but if necessary, get some attacks in on him too, particularly if Chatot is on the field. That bugger can hurt you. I've recreated your team* in Debug and fought the battle without held items and EVs, and it actually went pretty well! The most useful pokemon were Monferno, Pikachu and Roselia, but Herdier and Pidgeotto got their moments too. Pikachu is ideal to paralyze everything you can, and to get rid of Chatot. Parahax saves lives, and if you get a double team in, awesome! Monferno will take care of Glaceon, Umbreon and Exeggcute. Keep it alive for Tangrowth too. Herdier disposes of Espeon. Roselia doesn't do a lot offensively, but besides Chatot and Espeon there also isn't really anything that hurts it, so it's nice to have on the field any time you know you need items or a switch-in. (*levelled Pidgeotto to 30 because why not?) I'd recommend putting a sixth mon on your team. Even if not as a battler, then at least as filler that you can switch into to get a free heal or two on a different party member. (But really, having a sixth battler is ideal.) Your potions will come in handy against Tangrowth, I kept Monferno on the field with Roselia and just used Roselia's turns to heal Monferno. (Tho I let it die a turn or so after Taka used his potion because I got lazy. Pidgeotto still finished the job.)

can't wait to party with Taka's ghost at the cemetery this man will not get any sleep, not even in death

Likability list, will add gym difficulty one later cuz I'm late to work look I kind of want to kick Bennett in the shins, but I don't think he's boring/unremarkable, and I don't disrespect him quite enough to tie him with Terra and Lin. So I made a compromise: he gets to be middle tier, but I had to rename it from "still cool" to "still interesting" because y'know, nice character arc but also fuck you. edit: there we go Based this one off my accumulated experiences with multiple runs. So like. Incredibly subjective. For example, Terra actually does use her field quite well, much to her credit, but I've yet to actually struggle with beating her the slightest. Adrienn has the same field as Tania, I Am Aware. But unlike Tania, xe is weak to steel types. I still don't know exactly why I keep struggling with Shade to be honest, but they can be on that tier, they deserve it. Julia once lost to a team of 3 normal/flying types. I don't even bother bringing a full team to her gym any more. fuck the mirror arena

If I can't vote for Azery in all 3 categories then what even is the POINT of having a royalty vote How can you do this This is outrageous It's unfair How can you let Azery be at the party, and not let him have the rank of kingqueensovereign

whale hi there! whalecome to reborn, nice to meet ya! saving ocean creatures sounds like a very whalesome goal, I hope whaleheartedly that together we can succeed and make the endeavor worthwhale. hope you enjoy your stay!

Hiya, welcome to Reborn! \o I guess my number one advice would be that Reborn is a game that rewards exploration. There's a lot of side quests and events all over the place, and some of the most useful stuff is locked behind 'em. For example, you may find different Pokémon under changing weather conditions - such as a Tynamo in an alleyway during thunderstorms. You'll also probably develop a habit of checking every rock and trash pile for hidden items, because there's lots of them. A lot of traditionally "strong" Pokémon aren't available until later, but Reborn also manages to make some usually overlooked Pokémon more useful. Some of them may be a good type match up for what's ahead of you next. Some get a move or two that comes in handy for the next battle. Some work really well with certain field effects. Disregard nothing just based on how it does in competitive. I've used a Wormadam for five gyms. Twice. Anyway, yeah - hope you enjoy yourself, and maybe we'll see you around!

Can't relate, my luck with cofusion hax is usually pretty stellar. As a matter of fact I've had a lot of fun with Taka when Spoink/Grumpig was still on my Psychic mono team :] As frustrating as it is, and annoying as it's gonna be to hear it after you said you don't really believe people who say it, the AI is faced with the exact same odds for hax as the player is. (But certain fields also do affect accuracy or effect chance, so that's something to keep an eye out for as well.) We've all been faced with some shitty luck before, but at the end of the day it really is just that - bad luck. Battles like the TakaZEL double definitely often end up a haxfest, and that's understandably irritating, but the AI ain't cheating at the dice roll. (Pretty sure I'd never have beaten Serra on my bird run if sleep hadn't screwed several of her mons over.) As a side note, PULSE Muk has sky high special defense, I'm not surprised it's giving you trouble in an eevee run.

dropping this post here in case any of it is relevant advice to you i've lived a bit over a year without a fridge and a stove, and I can confirm that rice is a lifesaver tbh, as was my microwave having a fridge, however small, is already a good advantage bc it allows you to store leftovers, so you can buy and prepare stuff in big portions that needs to be kept cold

Depending on the outcome of your battle with Solaris on Pyrous Mountain, the character you team up with for a battle sequence later in the game changes, and -as a result- so does the way the scene plays out. It also affects your relationship variables with various characters - beating Solaris will give you plus points with: Anna, Shade, Cain, Taka, Cal and Victoria (+1 for all except Taka, +3 for him) So far we don't know if and how much it'll change about what happens in the final episode. For the scene that depends on the battle outcome, you may get interesting dialogue/character information out of it, and seeing how you cannot gain any points from losing, and don't lose any points from winning, I'd consider winning the better option. (It's also a popular hypothesis that making decisions that earn you points with Anna and Shade leads to the "true ending" so to say, so unless you're trying to actively earn relationship points with characters that force you to lose points with those two, it may be a good idea to keep a save file where you follow their point distribution. If you wanna know more about the relationship point distribution, feel free to check this thread out. The first post lists them in plot order, so you can read up on the stuff you've already played through without getting spoiled on upcoming events. The second post lists the points by character and does include spoilers, so careful with that one.)

Are you: Tired of looking after your children on a relaxing beach vacation? Sick of the screaming and their affinity for trouble? Desperate to eat at a restaurant not named 'McDonald's' for a change? Craving quality time for yourself again? Call the Meteor Daycare Service! We take your children so you can forget about them. Permanently.

See this is why my headcanon for my player character was that they tried to take a train out of Reborn, rather than arriving there. I think I'd quite enjoy Calcenon or Ametrine City. I much prefer colder temperature ranges, so if there's lots of snow that's perfect. Ametrine is also nicely secluded, not too much going on there we'll discreetly ignore starvation, pulse accidents, child kidnappings and meteor attacks and it's gorgeous up there. +1 for the pretty winter wonderland. Can't think of a more ideal fantasy than living in a small house surrounded by trees in near-eternal snow. But I could also imagine living in Spinel once the after-effects of the Abra incident wear off. It's a very snug little town, I'd love living in a forest village.

But see, here's two things: First, just because people can make up new ways of insulting us doesn't mean we should have to tolerate existing ones. Second, not everyone who uses slurs necessarily realizes the real implications of what they're saying. And that's where you step in and encourage them to think about it a little. Unfortunately words don't always keep their original meanings, and the fact of the matter is that this term can be and is used to insult trans people. The general public isn't anywhere close enough to a point of acceptance of trans people that we are safe from constantly being made the butt end of hurtful jokes. And comparing us to this particular trope is such a joke, and it's not very funny when so many trans women constantly face the very real fear of being accused of deception and trickery. (And no, not just by men, either, as is demonstrated by the existence of trans-exclusionary radical feminists, whose firm opinion is that trans women are men trying to infiltrate women's spaces.) It's cool if your experience so far has been that people manage to draw a respectful boundary and don't apply this word in ways it should not - I'm glad you seem to keep the right company. Unfortunately that experience is far from universal. (Read: God, I wish that were me.)

There are plenty of words you can use as a substitute in any given situation you'd want to use the R-word for. Is your determination to use this specific word really more important than the feelings of people who have had this word used against them in a discriminatory manner? The r-word has a history of being used as a slur, that's the entire reason it came to be used as an insult. People began to use the r-word to insult others for much the same reason they use "gay" as an insult - it's in direct context to the group of people it is applied to. The insult is meant to be the comparison to those people. Just because the word has rooted itself so firmly in people's vocabulary that some of them don't realize how it originated doesn't mean it's suddenly no longer a slur. Not when it is still commonly used as a slur against the very same demographic. Words do oftentimes change meanings over time, but the r-word is still used in the exact same context that made it popular as an insult.

adorable and a mvp and my first ever lv100 pokem- ...you had me in the first half, not gonna lie ;A; I'd say visually it appears to moreso be based on large flightless birds such as ostriches, rheas and emus, but they did take the name from the Dodo. I'd like a 'mon that actually looks like a Dodo some day tbh, they were stupidly cute

Oh hey, it's the island that used to be home to the world's heaviest and only flightless pigeon. And then they slapped the name on a Pokémon that doesn't even look like it. Though I still love the Doduo line deeply don't get me wrong. Welcome to Reborn! \o Incineroar is such a good lad. Used one as the starter in my Dark mono (and in Sun), he puts in really good work. Hope you enjoy your stay while we all wait for E19 :]
