I like fast, physical attackers. It works well with at least one of my favourite types, Flying. Gets a bit more difficult with Steel because some of the 'mons I like are rather slow (hi Steelix), but then you've got Durant, and pokemon like Klinklang with Shift Gear or Metagross with Bullet Punch (or, yknow, Megagross), that can still keep up. But thing is, I wouldn't normally focus only on one stat, soo. But yee, speed is a nice thing.

Aw, man, that's a tough choice, there's so many great auth folks. Honestly tho, that Dan is a cool dude, pass it on. 10/10 person, would share snacks with. And though I don't think I've ever really had a personal conversation with either (aside from maybe chit-chat on the lobby), I like Vinny and Kyoyo. Ikaru seems cool, too. And you. You're all cool. Congratulations Each of you is a winner~

#lifegoals Did you take a ride on one of those carriages tho

G I V E great, now I want this Biggest "love it" about the game for me? The characters. The wonderful, relatable, well thought-out characters. When I started playing the game I was a bit skeptical about all the colourful leaders in such a dark setting (I mean, you barely escape a terrorist attack, and one of the first people you meet is Julia with her green hair and the BOOM obsession), but I got used to it, and, more importantly, the character concepts are amazing and convincing. And well, I think at least 80% of people reading this already know it, but the Meteors are my favourites. They're a great criminal team - threatening, but not without their internal power struggles and a variety of characters from all ranks that have engaging and noteworthy stories. With the exception of N in BW, I never really cared for the fate of a villain character much. Like... my favourite canon villain is Cyrus. But even though he was a really interesting character that I greatly enjoyed, I never went "wow, I want to save him". But the Meteors... Somehow, Reborn has managed to make the villain team just as sympathetic to me as the player's friends/allies. Unrelatable or shallow villain characters are definitely a pet peeve of mine especially in games. I'm happy to see Reborn avert this. I also generally love how the game plays out that whole grey-versus-gray morality trope. I like that we've got these situations where you have to tolerate stuff you normally might not approve of, or that you can do good things for people who you feel might not deserve it. Reborn's characters are so human, and that's what made me fall in love with the game.

YES SO MUCH YES You can have my soul now yes ok Gaaah take my soul and my... wait no I lost my heart already but uh, my vital organs maybe. Or my wealth (my what?). I love this ok also thanks for stealing his jacket for me that was such a nice gesture <3 and I'll get to that PM but I was pretty busy this week sorreh

Blake pls That said, though, I do find the idea interesting in the sense of what repercussions it would have for us if we did get the option to PULSE a 'mon. Not even necessarily our own, but just What if there was a point at which we could do it to further our own goals, or, dunno, hit meteor hard? What would the other characters think of us? What would it mean for the story? I'd be curious to see the result. Especially if it is purely optional and we could say yes/no. Say, "yes" and we use it, but our allies punish us in some way, say "no" and Meteor succeeds with something.

I honestly don't know where else to share this, but I've been laughing my ass off for a bit there. I use the simulator quite a lot, so I have a number of different events added that aren't in the original, mostly because I wanted some sort of substitute for the lack of relationships in the whole thing, and the more I play, the more gets added. I also usually set the death rate to being low. Anyway, I locked a bunch of Meteors in the arena, and it turned into a goddamn soap opera. These are all successive events from the same game.

Man, so much for Aang being a peaceful avatar I'd love to sacrifice my life for my district. Count me in :')

FINALLY THERE IS SIRIUS FANART The prayers have been answered You're my person of the day now He looks so annoyed to be there, A+

I just love the thought process behind this "Let's get something that makes a supercomputer look inferior and hook it up to a machine that tortures it!" 10/10 plan, can't go wrong, just like with Abra

Somewhere out there, Lumi is disappointed in you, OP :c [sweats] Uhhhhh-

this is the kind of quality content I am here for

Gotta say Gastrodon, and in the same vein, Swampert, Quagsire and Seismitoad. I just love having a water type that doesn't get screwed over by electric.

Normal Rodent: Rattata line for fave, Patrat for least liked Bird: ALL OF THEM, I'm sorry but I love them all don't make me choose please I beg you Insects: Scatterbug line for fave, Sewaddle for least liked Pika-'mons: Dedenne for fave, Plusle and Minun for least fave but more because I find them to be useless, not because they're not cute Pseudo: METAGROSS <33 And I don't like Dragonite.

>just blow god up This is now my favourite method. Perfect.

Nyargh, damn it, you know what? I completely forgot about that Beldum part. Figures that my excitement would get ahead of me there .-. As for Espeon, there's actually an easy explanation for how this happened: I wasn't actually expecting to win against Arceus already :'D I was training my team at the Citae anyway, since the Unown there give good Exp, and save for Espeon, nothing needs EV training any more (and Xatu, Natu and Sigilyph are just what Espeon needs). When I had half of my team at Lv 60, I thought it'd be interesting to do a test run against Arceus, specifically because I wanted to test out if Delphox could manage burning it, and if Medicham would land a hit. I certainly didn't expect to beat it during my first try (and a test no less); my original plan was to have the whole team at Lv 60 at this point. Rest assured Espeon's gonna be at its max level in time for Radomus. As for why I didn't train it for Noel - like I said, easier to do the EV training at the Citae. Post-Arceus is, incidentally, also the time when I started using Espeon in my first run, where it's sorta my second ace after Klinklang. Sometimes I think that in hindsight, it'd have made more sense to ask someone to hack me Eevee as a starter, but too late now.

I feel like the change from E14 (Lv 80) to the current (Lv 75) has made Arceus easier to defeat. Got to battle it in my Psychic run just today, and beat it using Delphox (Will-o-Wisp), Malamar (Superpower) and Meowstic (Psychic). Delphox and Malamar were both able to survive a Shadow Ball, and Meowstic at a proper level outspeeds can outspeed* Arceus. (*fair point, my Meowstic has 30 Speed IV) Status is always a good thing to inflict upon it. You either have the ones that chip away at it (badly poisoned especially), or para to make it slower, which saves you the hassle of having to hope the rest of your team can take a hit. Or you could try what I did in my first run and use Tailwind to make your team faster. But para hax is more reliable.

Is it Radomus time yet? No, not quite! But we've got an Arceus battle! Which was... almost disappointingly easy for how worried I was about it. But then again, Arceus did get nerfed for E15 (possibly as a compensation for battling on the Crystal Field). Gonna breed a decent Sigilyph next, to replace Jynx. Oh, and catch Beldum.

It was a bit of a nightmare, really :'D Not only did it somehow take me ages to find the first shiny, but I also kept ending up with absolutely shitty IVs. Here's two of my rejects. I can put up with bad IVs usually, but I wasn't gonna put up with those SpA ones. Psychic/Ice dual? Tell me more o: (Or do you have a thread somewhere?) I am considering doing both Ice and Dark runs in the future, so this is interesting~ And don't worry, I did not beat Shelly easily. It took me a handful of failures to figure out the exact way to approach it. I already used Meowstic for this battle in a previous run, but in that one, I also had Noctowl and Growlithe with me, so it didn't matter if Meowstic fainted early. Here, I had to try and somehow keep it alive until the end. Musharna was great for this, because it could take more attacks than the rest of them. So I first had Meowstic and Musharna teamed up, and sent in Braixen as late as I could. It was the only team member of mine that wasn't a Psychic type at that point, which was a huge advantage. You gotta keep in mind that I'm "only" playing regular Reborn, unlike all those brave folks here who are mono'ing Hardcore^^ Since this is my fourth run, I already know what awaits me at each gym and boss battle, so I can prepare my team properly. On my first run I had massive trouble getting past Florinia and Luna, but none at all with Serra. In this one I've struggled against Serra thanks to her new field effect and Froslass. And I kinda dread facing Luna. Fennekin was my only option as a starter, since there are no others that get Psychic typings. I gotta admit Delphox was never one of my favourites, but it is definitely useful. It's important for me to have a Fire type, and the only others are Victini and Zen Mode Darmanitan. Radomus will be interesting for sure! I usually have no trouble at all with him, but I haven't exactly had to fight him with a full Psychic team so far. Very excited to make further progress with the game, because soon I'll be able to get Beldum. No way I'd pass up on the chance to grab Metagross for my team <3 Btw here's Snow, the shiny Espeon. Originally only wanted a shiny so I could edit in a collar, then thought I might as well...

...Ha, you thought this would be Ice? Well I can't deny I may have that planned for the future, but nope, Psychic it is! Anyway, so I never really thought about creating a thread for this before, because I'm one of those people suffering from chronic "who would even read this" fears, not to mention I'm not the kind of person who really puts a lot of effort into getting the perfectly functioning, super-well-built team. I just kinda do whatever. But oh well, what use is it if I don't even try. So here's my mono. It's the first time I do this, unless you count my Diamond Water mono, which was actually just a Gastrodon solo most the time. So, what is this run? Basically, just a regular Psychic monotype, using the normal version of Reborn, not Hardcore. The idea came from both the fact that I'd been wanting to try out a mono in Reborn, and me creating a certain character sprite for fun. You see, some months ago I've been linked to a thread in which Ame posted sprites for the Seijaya sisters, Eve and Lumi. I thought it'd be fun to practise sprite editing by giving Eve a versus sprite, and when I was finished with that, figured I might as well use it, somehow. Thus, the Psychic mono was born. Rules: - only Psychic types or those which evolve into Psychic types can be used in battle - HM users can be non-Psychic, but may not be used in battle - all team pokémon will receive snow/ice-related nicknames - Espeon may not be boxed Post-episode goal: - complete the Pokédex as good as possible (after E15) CURRENT TEAM: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love silly things, I really do. Canonically, this run makes absolutely no sense at all, seeing as, of course, Eve is very much an actual character in the game, and can hardly be in two places at the same time especially not alone, hue hue But I'll still run with the theme a bit, which is why I added two extra rules to this run. Firstly, as Eve's signature pokémon, Espeon will not be boxed once obtained. Second, every pokémon that joins the team will receive a nickname relating to snow or ice, in reference to the cutest little sister, Lumi. Other than that, there's not really anything I can do to make this run "in-character", so just sit back and enjoy the occasional moment where the dialogue gets a funny or interesting new meaning thanks to this choice. 1: Julia 2: Florinia 3: Corey 4: Shelly 5: Shade

Not sure if you're being serious or joking, but whether or not something is harmful always depends on the amount and also on where it is found. CO2 itself isn't necessarily harmful - like you said, plants take it in during photosynthesis and produce Oxygen in that process. CO2 in the atmosphere absorbs and emits thermal radiation, which, in itself, is a good thing, because without this "greenhouse effect", temperatures down here would be much colder than they are. However, if the amount of greenhouse gases increases, it also results in an increase of temperatures, as a higher concentration of these gases means that more energy is radiated back towards Earth's surface, instead of "escaping" back into space. Different gases are able to absorb different forms of radiation, based on its wavelength. For example, CO2 is able to absorb radiation that a different gas, water vapor, does not. Besides CO2 and water vapor, other notable greenhouse gases include Methane, Ozone, CFCs and Nitrous oxide. Each of these gases has a different residence time in the atmosphere; water vapor having one of the shortest (with only about nine days), whereas nitrous oxide takes about 114 years. Now, ozone is a gas that is very much welcome in the Stratosphere, where it forms the ozone layer that protects us from ultraviolet radiation. But down in the Troposphere, it's a very potent greenhouse gas with a long residence time, and also a dangerous pollutant. Not only is it something you reeeally don't wanna breathe in, but it's also been observed that a higher concentration of ground-level ozone can stunt plant growth, which negatively affects crop yield, making it an agricultural hazard. So if the atmosphere gets filled with a higher concentration of greenhouse gases, which might have a long residence time there, the result is a rise in Earth's mean temperature as time goes on. And it just so happens that human activity on the planet amplifies this effect. Admittedly, chemistry is not my strongest point, so as for the reactions between Methane and other atmospheric particles, you'd be better off looking it up than relying on anything I might say *flails* I'll throw in Wiki because it's easiest, but you get the idea x) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_methane#Removal_processes

Actually, cows produce methane. But once it's in the atmophere it reacts with other chemicals, which can result in the creation of both carbon dioxide and ozone as a side process. I don't think I've posted here before, but hmm Some years ago, on a different forum, someone posted a "game" that would give you your 'superhero name', and basically it was like this: First word of the last movie you watched + favourite animal = name I'd been watching LotR, and my favourite animal is the amazilia hummingbird, so I ended up with "Lord Amazilia". I liked the sound of that, so I changed the ending a bit and made my username "Lord Amazilion". Later shortened it to just Amazilion. But pretty much everyone just called me Ama, and I've grown so used to it that I like it much better than my birth name. (Which is also why I picked Amalia as a middle name. No, really, I don't like my birth name.) I still usually go by Amazilion, but just because Ama tends to be taken. My showdown name, Amadun, is just a combination of Ama + the beginning of the last name of one of my characters.
