  1. The first thing you have to think of when putting together a serious team is your strategy in mind. To win is a terrible sole strategy. Ask yourself how you will do that. Will you use set X on Pokemon Y or vice versa. Also it usually depends on the tier. Anything that does not give you pre-made teams, such as Randbats and Battle Factory are all up to you. First off, try "monkey-see monkey-do". Study what others do, see the combos, see the strategies, see the Pokemon people use. Secondly, try out unusual things for yourself. For instance, Imposter Ditto. You can never go wrong with Inposter Ditto, because you can copy an opponent's stats, set, and ability. Just remember you won't win every battle. Losing is a part of learning. Learn what synergizes, like entry hazards and Roar/Whirlwind, or VoltTurn switches.
  2. Hello Sakuya. Always nice to see a fresh face around here. Since a few peoplr haven't covered an intro for you yet. I am Darv, I am the trash man of Reborn. Expect someone to give you a song. Follow the rules, please dispose of any sanity before you go anywhere else, because a lack thereof is mandatory here. Call me if you need garbage disposal.
  3. Spent yesterday training my reserve team since I blew it off. Was about to play E15 but I felt so tired I couldn't see straight. Thanks a lot fatigue.

  4. Sora (Excadrill) Sora had gathered his legions of miners and set off for their mining expiedition for several days after Napoleon agreedto let him excavate for the new powerful typing gems. He made reasonable progress with his soldiers and miners under his belt, leading them with his refined sonar. He felt proud of himself. Almost smug, but not so much, because he knew his ability of sonar was indispensable to the Underdark Kingdom. Although, something had been bothering him as of late. After a few days on their excursion, the mining team headed back to the town, and Sora slipped away from the team. After the guards and higher advisors worried about him, they sent a scouting team to find him. Little did they know, the old battered mole sat alone in his thoughts in one of the miserable dive bars of the Kingdom. The mole slurred and cursed at the tender to give him more alcohol. He forcefully slammed more of his gems from his personal collection on the counter as payment. Sora sighed to himself, whike hiccuping, absolutely plastered drunk.
  5. Was gonna start playing E15 today. Logged on and COMPLETELY FORGOT I was training reserves. Azumarill, Magnezone, Gengar, Metagross, Y'ALL BETTER BE FUCKING WORTH IT.

    2. Sparky

      Sparky

      Magnezone is amazing

  6. Anyone who's trying to play the game. Trying to find Azurill now that it's replaced. If you can help it would be appreciated. Also looking for Larvesta and Axew.
  7. Ah the bourgeoisie of Reborn knows how and when to please the Reborn proletariat JUST right. E15 HYEP

  8. Damn I was about to toot my own horn, but I think I know who we're gonna be battling this go-around.
  9. AWWW HELLL YEAH THE FILTHY BOURGEOISIE HAS FINALLY PULLE THROUGH FOR THE AWESOME PROLETARIAT. FK YEAH GONNA HAVE NO SLEEP TONIGHT SO I CAN PLAY DIS MO FO AMONGST OTHER THINGS....... In all seriousness though. Thanks dev team for busting your chops to finish the game's new release. Edit: When is the new Episode gonna be put on the Game Download page anyways?
  10. Greetings Mimmu. I've seen you floating on the forums on certain topics. Anyways, I take out Reborn's trash and sort it. Before everyone and their brother comes on to greet you, expect: -A song. -Some more intros. -A Snorlax that eats your sanity. Have a good day and call me if you need garbage disposal services.
  11. I suggest the Aces and dev team hurry with the E15 testing. Otherwise the proletariat non-Aces will rise and destroy their bourgeoisie Ace oppressors.

      Actually, being part of that "non-ace proletariat" you mention, I preffer if they take their time with E15. Not only that it will be better for me since I still have exams to do and I would get mad knowing that everyone else is playing E15 while I'm still studying, but also because the more they analyse the ep. before releasing it the more they'll prevent releasing eps 15.1, 15.4, 15.6 and you get the idea.

    3. Tacos

      Tacos

      Or perhaps you can appreciate the fact that these guys aren't only playing the beta for fun, they're spending their time sniffing out as many bugs as they possibly can to make sure the Community Release is as stable as possible.

      Le sigh. Words spoken by the filthy bourgeoisie. In Soviet Russia, u no make stability out of Reborn, Reborn makes stability out of YOU!

    Ralts

    You go into the area right after the rundown Yureyu with the Railnet puzzle. You need to complete the Yureyu sidestory to save the kids from Meteor first. After that, you will find several walls that look crumbled. Rock Smash can destroy them. In one of those walls is the Corrupt Pokeball, which is Ralts' item. Grab some Magnet Powder (which can be obtained in Yureyu's dark room in the very far corner) and talk to the Techie guy in the Pokeball shop right inside Obsidia. He'll take the Magnet Powder and the Pokeball after you agree to let him use them. Wall of text, then a Ralts. Then pure profit.
  13. I got a good one for ya. Step 1: Take a large knife of any kind. Step 2: Slice Fern's jaw almost cleanly off, so it's only hanging by some muscle threads. Step 3: As Fern falls, grab him by the back of the head and hold his head upright. Step 4: Pull out a cellphone positioned at your faces. Step 5: Snap a selfie picture of Fern's bloody dazed face. Step 6: Drop Fern and post the same selfie on every social media site known to man. Step 7: Pure Profit.
  14. Depends on the day. During the school year, 5:20 every day. If I'm feeling a little stiff, I take care of that. If I'm feeling a little tired, I pass out till 5:45. If I am awake enough, I shower right after getting up. Either watch TV or Youtube or play some Smash till I need to leave. Catch my bus at 6:30 and it's a normal day from there on out. Otherwise, I wake up at 7-8:00 every other day, and give or take an hour. I am so synchronized with waking up, it's pretty much a science.
  15. Have you ever been touched or moved in such a way that you gotta think there is a grand schemer above all of us? I've never really been a most pious person, but today I was touched by a desperate woman's plight, and I answered to her problems in a way I never thought I had in me.

  16. Can one really look me in the eyes and say without a shred of doubt that God does not exist?

      You're going to have to define what it means for something to be a 'god', because frankly I have no idea what the word even means.

      King Kai was a god, you know.

  17. Well here's how I'd do it assuming you haven't beaten Charlotte yet. For now I'd do the following setup. Main: Greninja Tyrantrum Staraptor (If it has Intimidate) Ampharos Mienshao Dragalge/Dusknoir Everything else can fit in Rotation. Although I will keep saying this. People don't appreciate the true swag of Tailwind. As support, Noivern is amazing for Tailwind if you retutor the move on it. Scrafty, Pawniard, Phantump all need to be bred for for them to be usable (I.E - Bisharp Sucker Punch is a egg move)
  18. Alucard and Ulkina (Gengar and Latias) Alucard floated around the outside of the castle dejected, looking down at the hard ground. Why did Ulkina have to sell him out like that? Just why? He looked at the guards posted at the fron gate. They gazed at him, but paid him no mind. They hadn't really cared about him since they found out he was not responsible for all the false accusations Syni brought forth. After the events of the past few days, he was deeply considering that alone time he first proposed to Ulkina, except he was really starting to see some good in the alone part. He wanted to go away for a while. To get answers. He wanted answers badly, the desire eating away at his thoughts. Who was he before he died? How did he die? Why did Ulkina actually seemed familiar to him? He needed to consult the Dragon and from there on out he would be able to plan his next move according to the wishes of her. So he sought her out. Lo and behold as soon as he started his search, Ulkina came swooping through the doors, mildly surprising the guards, not pressing on in her usual acrobatic display, but in a serious stride for once. She looked...changed from when Alucard had originally been seperated from her. She didn't hum lightly to herself like she used to. She didn't look around in splendor at the sights of the world, like she used to. Her eyes no longer possessed the wide-eyed naive gaze of a little girl. But the one thing that wrenched Alucard above all, was that she was independent. She presented herself in a regal gait, much like she professed to Azauqyar. He looked down at the ground again in disappointment. That was it. He'd actually started to grow attached to her after all these years, feeding her and educating her, and maybe now he had to move on. The red dragon caught a glimpse of Alucard, and suddenly a small smile lit up her face in some cheer. Alucard almost smiled too, but now wasn't the time for that. Ulkina practically beamed as she flew over to Alucard. "Brother! Where have you been? It's been scary around here without you." Alucard continued to stare into the ground dejected. "So you've finally sold us out." Ulkina placed a hand on her chest in mild shock. "What do you mean? How did I sell us out?" Alucard frowned. "You know damn well what you said back there in the throne room about me. I was there. I didn't want to show myself to you or the green dragon." Alucard looked up at Ulkina, a steady stream of tears forming below his eyes. "You've done broken my dead heart Ulkina. You should have known all along I wasn't your brother. You should have known I was just a broken spirit, with nothing but a drive. I need to find out why I came back. You came along though, and you lit up my depressed self. You were my drive...but now..." Ulkina's smile faded away to a look of sorrow. "B-broth-" she began, but Alucard looked her in the eyes, knowing she'd called him wrong. "Alucard? I'm sorry I said that about you in the throne room. I now have a purpose though, and I forgot all about you. I have a nation that requires me. You've taught me. You've sheltered me since I discovered you years ago. What are you going to do now?" Alucard looked back up at Ulkina. "I think I need some alone time. I need to get away from this debacle I've caused. I need to let you flourish in your enviornment. You have a real brother who gave his life away just so he could see you again. I didn't want to steal that from you Ulkina. You're growing into a strong independent girl, and I appreciate that. I need to leave though." He turned away from Ulkina and started to float away. "Alucard," Ulkina called out. "No, Brother. I need just one last thing from you if you really go." Alucard wheeled around. "What is it?" Ulkina pressed her hand over her heart. "Somewhere out there, is the old house of me and my brother Eric. Eric told me there was a treasure stored within that house that holds an enormous value to him, and he said I'd learn why. If you ever find our old house, could you look?" Alucard nodded to Ulkina. "What does it look like?" he asked. "You'll know Alucard. You'll just have to go with the feeling." He smiled and patted Ulkina on thr shoulder. "Good luck then Brother." Ulkina said, and then Alucard floated away without second thought drifting away from the hell he had been in for the past weeks. Ulkina wiped away a tear of her own as Alucard slowly vanished into the distance. "Now to find those accursed dragons. I need to deal with the demon girl." She tore past the guards, looking for Stratos, the only one of the two she believed was still in the city.
  19. Well in all honesty, it depends on what you are in to. If you can look past the negatives of Pokemon, it's a good show. The other problem some have barely if not at all touched on is the fact the show is through and through for kids. One suggestion is the Pokemon Chronicles spinoff series. Chronicles is pretty fucking amazing with storylines, because you never follow one character too much, as it's simply that: chronicles of certain trainers. In one arc, we follow Ethan and Eunice as they try to stop Cassidy and Butch (the most badass Team Rocket members ever) from obtaining Raikou. In another arc, a new trainer gets cocky at Oak's lab while picking his Pokemon, and Oak tells him to slow way the fuck down and appreciate them. To answer the question at hand: if you don't like kiddy animes, Ash's Pokemon is garbage on the average day. Origins is pretty cool because it was not as geared to kids and Chronicles was kinda in the same boat.
  20. I have another piece of logistics. Noivern is not the best Pokémon for sweeping, as most of the moves it can learn actually suck for attacking. What Noivern DOES have however is MUCH better suiting it as a support Pokémon. It's unholy in the Speed department, but it also has access to 2 amazing moves that can help your team out a LOT. -First it can learn Super Fang which makes fighting walls and tanks a little bit easier. -The biggest reason I run Noivern on my main file is because it is the fastest Tailwind user in the game. Your opponent Scarfing you? Tailwind can top that. Got a base 70/80 Speed sweeper? Tailwind's got ya covered. Granted it's for five turns, but people are willing to risk 5 turn Drought on Charizard Y among other things.
  21. Why has there been such a resurgence in a fanatical group that was exterminated nearly 200 years ago? I'm looking at you Illuminati.

  22. @Anyone, I would give 1000 Reborn Rupees if you made this your avatar for a week and reminded me to donate at the end of the week.
  23. I always wondered to myself on certain forums why people pick the names they do. I always wonder to myself, why did I choose my current name above infinite possiblities? The question I put forth today is why did you choose your UN and what does it mean? For myself, Darvan is my furry persona's name, and Korematsu is just a name I pulled off Wikipedia that I remembered from US History in the case "Korematsu vs. United States". I chose thjs combination, because it fuses for a full well-spun name.
