  1. I still have to do E15 with my mono ground run, I'll check that
  2. Yes, but I don't remember that. Joke from Samson I guess ?
  3. I see many people calling the flying type leader Seel instead of Ciel. This is a Seel And this is a Ciel I checked in the game and it's Ciel. So why everyone calls her Seel ?
  4. I already use C and it's not so difficult And assembly language ? 4 lines of code for a simple addition ? I'm not masochist enough for that x)
  5. This one looks indeed really good, and is even in French, thanks
  6. magic7 : frozen status or move using light magic1013 : bell sound (big one, like from a church) magic558 : Sand attack, something like that magic277 : moving grass or something crawling magic1299 : a sharp "beep" magic330 : kind of blast with electric sound. Sounds like the change from factory field to broken factory field magic658 : flash sound then quick move. Maybe Extr. Speed magic638 : Scratch magic373 : Vine Whisp ? magic1416 : hit on a metal object magic1567 : kind of slowing swirl. More for flying type move
  7. My year is over and I'll start my internship on monday, so since I should have more free time on the evenings I fought I could try to work on the AI. I had some course on the subject and already have a few ideas. The problem is that I first need to understand how battles work and how I can change the AI, but I can barely understand the Script.rxdata file since I don't know Ruby. So can someone (from the dev team probably) tell me were I can learn Ruby for RPG Maker ?
  8. Yeah, I saw somewhere that you have to go to the Opal Ward for the weather to be reset
  9. The only Meteor I see saying that kind of sadistic thing is Lin. And the heart of Reborn is probably the Grand Hall, center of the city, of the region, were Ame who fixed the city the first time still rules the city.
  10. I think it's in Agate Circus, not 7th Street
  11. "Fields can't be used if you don't have the good pokemon". Well, that's partially right. All fields boost at least a type or attacks often commonly used. You say you have nothing that can use fields : are you only using tackle ? Noel's Grassy field boosts grass and fire attacks. You have no attack of these types ? Big Top arena boosts many common attacks and pokemons with abilities that makes them often used. On Charlotte's Superheated Field you can use Surf to easily decrease her pokemon's accuracy. And that's just a few examples. And in the same spirit you can say that trees, boulders, rock and water should be removed from the game. Indeed if you don't have the right pokemon, able to learn the corresponding HM you can't go further. When you face an obstacle or a difficulty, you adapt, simply, like everywhere else. And yes there are badges in Reborn, but they are almost secondary. Your progression in the story is not just about getting the badges. In official games, and it's even worse in Omicron, badges are the only important thing, the story with the evil team is secondary. You go to a town, beat a few team's grunts on your way, get the badge, go to the next route, beat a few trainers, reach the next town, etc. In Reborn the story is more important than your badges. You went to Apophyll to get the Strengh HM, Kiki's gym was just a bonus. Idem for Aya. You escaped with the children to help them, not to have the opportunity to face them. Noel's fight was just a pause. You're given the Battle Pass Fury and you face Samson to be able to use surf and reach Calcenon. You face Charlotte (with who you travel during several episodes without a single battle) to use dive and reach Ametrine to find Heather and the sleeping signal. Terra's battle was to catch her when you learnt she is a Meteor. Badges are secondary. think about Kiki's lesson about filling the bowl, that's Reborn's story. And you don't need to fight a wide variety of pokemons to win gym battles. Just look at all the threads about monotype runs. Using a single type is not what I call a wide variety, but those people still win (even with bug types !). In my ground and psychic runs I defeated most champions easily. No need to have 550 BS mons with the best TM
  12. I'm not sure we played the same game... I started two runs on Omicron and never done more than half of the first region, it always made me start a new run on Reborn. Omicron is much bigger that's right, but I feel it's empty. You just go to the next gym, beat the leader, go to the next gym, with less to explore than in official games. No personality, no soul. While in Reborn you feel fully involved. Just look at all the threads about every choice you can make. Even the way you leave the Nuzleaf cage at the beginning is debated. And even if the region is much smaller than in Omicron/Zeta, there's so many things to discover. Even after one year and four run I still discover small events, places, small pieces of information that were already there before. For the difficulty and the lack of pokemons at the beginning, well, that gives you the feeling you progress. In Omicron you can have strong pokemon early. Axew, Gastly before the second badge. 4 new starters around the fourth gym. Strong TM like earthquake early too. When you're already so strong, what's the interest in going on ? The story ? It's of the same level as the official games. In Reborn maybe you have to train new stronger pokemons sometimes and TMs are rare. But that way you really feel that your character is stronger. Your character and you too. I really learnt to play pokemon with Reborn because you can't win if you don't learn. And grinding is not that hard. At the beginning around Corey maybe, but after Shelly you can fight the Grand Hall trainers as much as you want. Strong trainers (sometimes a bit too much since they lvl up every two badges) making interesting battles. With them I can train a pokemon from lvl 1 to 75 (in E15) in a single hour. It's even easier than Omicron since in Omicron the only difficulty is the lvl of trainers, so in my last run around Mt Pyre (? where you must find Victini/Celebi) trainers have maybe 5 lvls more than me. This is artificial difficulty, just boring. And about field effects, you see them just as a cheated boost for gym leaders to make them hard, but fields are an entire mechanic. You can always use these fields to your advantage, change them for one that better suits you, or just get rid of them. They add strategy in the game. Now in Reborn teams you often see pokemons whose role is to set or destroy fields for the others, as you can see sweepers, stallers, etc.
  13. I would rather think the death of his wife is the cause of his link with Meteors and not the consequence. Like Simon, he may have been destroyed by his wife's death and then heard about people saying she could be back to life in a new world, so he joined them. But Radomus is not blind and easy to manipulate like Simon, and he don't think the world in black and white like El. He saw what Meteors really are and betrayed them or at least left them, probably after a strong dispute with El about his fanatism.
  14. The AI is not really good, yes. But I think the game is easier also because we're stronger than before. When I started Reborn I was used to brainless official games and just started to learn strategy. Almost every leader were a pain to beat. Now almost every leader are easy even in monotype run because I've become stronger by playing Reborn. A better AI would be really good but don't forget that difficulty is a perception in part

    That reminds me what is said about the last thief

    Small hint : It's well hidden. Someone said this place existed before E15 but I never found it in the previous episodes.
  17. I see that Thousand Waves and Thousand Arrows are now boosted by many fields. But why ? No pokemon can learn these moves. Or will we have access to them in the future ?
  18. I would rather say S rank for Torterra. It's indeed useless against Serra or Blake, but if you can set it up against a physical mon, or at least not a special sweeper, 6 curses (with synthesis to survive the time to use them) and you can solo many leaders. Flying type ? If you can set up before it comes (so not Ciel) they are easy to deal with since they are often physical. Remember Noel's terrifying Swellow ? Its Brave Bird took my Torterra a very few HP, then I OHKO it with a Wood Hammer. It's not OP like Blaziken, but a pokemon able to solo many Reborn leaders deserve a S rank imo. With Synthesis in its moveset, it's better than leech seed while setting up
  19. Fire ! Ninetales @ Heat Rock Ability: Drought EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Flamethrower - Solar Beam - Hypnosis - Hex Blaziken @ Focus Sash Ability: Speed Boost EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - High Jump Kick - Blaze Kick - Thunder Punch Delphox Ability: Magician EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Flamethrower - Mystical Fire - Signal Beam - Psychic Charizard-Mega-Y @ Charizardite Y Ability: Drought EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - SolarBeam - Flamethrower - Hidden Power [Ground] - Defog Chandelure @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Flame Body EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe Calm Nature - Will-O-Wisp - Curse - Fire Spin - Rest Rotom-Heat @ Leftovers Ability: Levitate EVs: 128 Def / 252 SpA / 128 SpD Modest Nature - Discharge - Will-O-Wisp - Hidden Power [Fire] - Confuse Ray
  20. I stopped my psychic run before Serra to face her in ep 15, and I found her quite easy. I beat her in my second try (I reset the first try to change my lead when I saw Cryogonal was her lead). Don't remember all the fight, but Medicham Hi Jump Kicked some of her mons, Delphox melted some others. The real danger was her Froslass, really fast and using Shadow Ball, on my psychic team it could OHKO all my pokemon. So I used prankster Meowstic to set a light screen, then send out Jynx to use Perish Song. My last pokemon survived with only 2 HP left, but except Froslass she wasn't really hard
  21. You haven't found a single item ? Are you sure you're playing on episode 15 ? This sidequest didn't exist in previous episodes
  22. Haven't tried this new event but in most cases when a pokemon doesn't notice you you need a pokesnax.
  23. Did a ground mono too and I don't remember a place to evolve it. The first I remember is the caves in Rhodocrine Jungle, aroung the 3rd Tangrowth. But Wormadam don't worth the time of its training imo. You can get a Numel before Florinia and if you took Turtwig as a starter, curse Grotle can almost solo her if Numel is not enough
  24. It's really good on Gengar too, especially with Hex as ghost stab (130 base power with sleep), but Gengar is fragile so if you miss your Hypnosis you're probably dead. Gardevoir is more bulky, with a good special defense, so it can take one or two hits if your Hypnosis misses
