@IceCreamSandWitch Thanks! I already knew about most of them but I was not aware that beating Garchomp already had some influence on the game. Also I didn't know that Shiny Charm is related to the Blake choice (it makes sense though). It seems that Laura's backstory was the only peace I missed - I always saved all policeman, beaten both Solochomp and Dittoceus and got the Shiny Charm in the end. @Marcello Even looking back I'm not sure those were the best choices. In fact in my opinion both situations look like both choices are equally good and bad at the same time.

Thanks. I tried one of my backups where I fought Sirius in Yureyu building and selected the other option in Tanzan cove. Now I know what backstory you we're talking about earlier - indeed it is something that the player apparently can't learn anywhere else. By the way are there some other story branches like this in the game? So far I only know about this and the Aqua / Magma thing (which is afaik pretty much the same either way). Oh and there was some branching later with Blake I think (not very significant if I remember correctly). Anything else?

Laura? Don't you mean Saphira? I don't remember her ever not being there. When does that happen?

Personally I feel this way not just about Chatot but about the confusion condition in general. It makes the battle way too random. Pokemon games would be so much better without it.

About that case in EP15 when you scale the waterfall down and later back up, there is part of the staircase visible. Is that going to be changed to the new Reborn look as well? I mean it probably should as the event occurs near the point of return to Reborn.

Can we expect more move tutors in EP16 / some future episodes? Really need Foul Play for Umbreon and Hyper Voice for Sylveon.

Hey Ame, just found out that Rocky Helmet is also unavailable in the game. (At least I didn't find it in the Item Guide for E15.) EDIT: Oval Charm for breeding would be nice as well.

Egg moves yes, but pre-evolution moves might be an issue - like Outrage for Arcanine. Besides as I've said I'm still far from the move relearner. Anyway good point about the move deleter. I'll probably go with that for now. Thank you! :-)

Hi, I'd like to breed some of my pokemon but I'm concerned that the Daycare couple might overwrite some important move with another on level up. I'm just at the beginning of the current playthrough so I don't have access to move relearner (and it probably would not help with pre-evolution moves anyway). So how can I predict what the daycare lunatics will do to my pokemon? Is it possible to control which move will be overwritten by changing their order? EDIT: Made a typo in the headline. :-( Can someone fix it please? Title edited! ~Ark

I put together what I can think of and gone through some sections of the items guide on this forum. This is the result: - Items limited to the upper levels of Obsidia Dpt Store (though EP16 will unlock a few more floors - we can buy evolution stones there now). - Damage reducing berries are on the 6th floor but Anti-fairy Roseli Berry is missing for whatever reason. Also fairy gem is missing on the 7th floor. - Rare berries such as those with only one tree in the Aventurine Woods maze (they should be available with one more sticker in the Dpt Store though). - An area to grow berries effectively (like a large garden with many berry spots). - Shell Bell is unavailable, Leftovers only available with Pickup ability (lvl 71+). - Flame Orb unavailable, Dragon Fang, Kings Rock only by catching wild pkmn, Electrilizer, Magmarizer available but not actually useable. - Thick Club (should be added to 7th street where similar items can be bought). - Weakness Policy (maybe somewhere on the upper floors in Obsidia). - Dusk & Level balls. Well pretty much everything important is available somewhere in the game now. There ain't really much more to add at this point.

Do the rivals or other trainers also recieve these boosts? I mean it feels wrong for only the player to get them. I'd rather remove them like gen IV+.

Wait THAT is Beryl? Hey Ame can you take Adrienn and come rebuild my hometown as well? You're really good at this. :-) What about the Gothi familly from the library? They didn't get kicked out or anything, ri-right? I feel sorry for the Beryl students. I think they will revolt until you build them a staircase from the wall down to Lapis and another staircase from North Obsidia to Onyx. In fact I will join them.

She could always create a custom mega. Mega-Hydreigon from Insurgence is super scary. Also there was a HydreiGOD in Zeta / Omicron with insane 140 base speed. I still believe that Reborn will be done before gen 8 though. E16 is taking insane amount of time because it contains various updates pretty much everywhere. With any luck Ame should be able to focus more on the new content in future episodes.

Each new episode contains one new gym plus some story content, new sidequests etc. Reborn is sheduled so that the final episode will be EP 19 (one episode will have two gyms, EP 19 will contain the final gym, the league and postgame).

Hey Ame is back and the progress moved as well! Now I can go to sleep peacefully. White Peridot is another example of awesome Ame's work. So let's make a new word for it - its AMESOME!

Beware that you need to mine for Helix Fossil first. They won't give you missions to get Amaura/Tyrunt otherwise. Also Lord Helix is the Only True God.

All the good characters are former / present / reserve Gym Leaders or E4. Even some of the bad characters. I understand Ame wanted the Gym Leaders to have a backstory instead of being just a trainer in a gym though. It is a pleasant change from the normal games although it seems a bit forceful. What seriously raised my eyebrows though was how the kids from orphanage let themselves to be captured again so easily. I mean they are all Gym Leaders (some far above the player's level at the time) or E4 or a mysterious crazy-strong trainer (Anna). I just can't see them defeated by that doctor, Sirius and some grunts.

From Corey's Corrosive field guide: "Corey's ace, Crobat, is slightly harder than under the mist, as it can still hit poison- and steel-types. Try paralyzing it, and keep a good rock-type on the field, as it has trouble with those." - where can I get a rock-type pokemon at this point? If I'm not mistaken there isn't any cave accessible yet. As for Shelly, how does the rain work there? Is the bug from normal Reborn where she never uses Rain Dance fixed in Hardcore? Or is rain the default weather there? Can I use a Castform with Sunny Day or something to stop it? That should also change the field to Rainbow by the way, which might be useful as well..

While it looks that way at first glance there are some weaknesses to exploit. Maybe more severe than in some other gyms. Personally I think this will be another contest of speed like against Seel. If you have a dragon-type attack on a fast pokemon it can easily sweep anything Saphira sends out except for Dragonite. And to make things easier you can use Nature Power TM as a dragon type move. Even without STAB you get x4 boost because of the field + dragon weakness. I'm curious about what she will do against a Noivern. (Hopefully she will be more of a threat than Luna against a Heracross. Poor Luna.) Also fairy-type pokemon will be very useful here because of their dragon immunity. Just watch out if she has a Dragalge. Finally the field can be changed to Cave field where you can just collapse the field to kill anything. Or you can just change it to Rainbow Field like always.

Unknown island seems odd to me. I'd like gen 7 pokemon to be available throughout the whole game or not at all. People will want to try the new species but there won't be much chance to do so in the post game.

I'd like to see a game where you play as an evil character for once. Like starting as a grunt in some evil team or as a cultist in twisted religious group. Then slowly making progress to become an Admin or even later the Boss. Do you know any pokemon fangame like that?

Noel has one more weakness. As his battle happens outside you can wait for the right weather to help you. Sunny weather + Burning Field = Dead Noel. :-P The same weakness applies for Kiki as well although I have didn't try it yet. You can wait for sunny/rainy/thunderstorm weather and reverse it to create Rainbow Field and then just take Kiki down with Flying types.

The best thing to do against Florinia Flobot is to catch and train some birds on the Onyx rooftop. They work quite well against everything except Cradily.

Except we don't have Ice Beam TM yet and I suspect we won't get it any time soon either. So no Ice Beam Greninja.

Somehow she looks much cuter on the original colorless sketch. Her face on the sketch looks kind of melancholical and I fell in love with that. On the new image she looks as if upset by something. Depends on what you were going for of course. :-) Also is it just me or is her head smaller on the color image?
