IdleThoughts

As you can see, we enjoy advertising this place like an insane asylum... The only way out is through the skylight. :x Enjoy your stay?

The first time I played I went with Magma because I'm one of those pricks who have to talk to everybody and everything and do everything possible in this pixelated world before moving on to the next area. As such, I encountered Magma before I did Aqua.

Okay, I'll play along... I guess. Ace Trainer (M) Water-Type Trainer Card Yes, I do intend to get past the first bracket... just RIP me vs. Olivia & Nicholas EDIT: Some major changes of heart here. x)

Does this mean if, theoretically, your Dragon Type Pokemon gets hit with Dragon Ascent, it would take x8 damage? I hope Saphira doesn't use Dragon Ascent. RIP Dragagle. :c

Whelp, since I haven't played this game in a couple months, and literally haven't beaten Venam where I left off... I'll just restart once V7 is ready.

I really liked the Chess Puzzle, but I'm the kind of person who plays Chess... so yeah. I hope with the relationship values system, we're able to obtain some means of altering the relationship values at the start of Episode 16. Kind of like how when the non-binary protagonists were added, we got some way to change protagonists without having to restart our game. Maybe just a random NPC in Agate/Grand Hall that asks us to answer honestly about things we did previously that were of significance? I mean, Amethyst already has SOME switches that retain SOME of our Dialogue choices (like Luna remembering if we chose El or Randomus or Charlotte remembering if we tried to sacrifice the Keystone or not). Maybe she can find some way to skip those kinds of questions? Although this may ruin whatever secret make up the relationship points system... the people that will NEED this NPC likely would replay the game often enough so that they would figure out what effects what manually.

Wait... what? I never recall hearing this about Lin. What do you mean the split plot line?

The only thing I would have to mention is since the Diaries are typically tailored to the individual's personality, we should probably follow the assumption that the ideal player always has the diary. I agree that anyone other than Yuno would have trouble managing the second diary, but logistically, we're never to see a person other than Yuno wield said diary. But looking at it objectively, yes, it is a bit limited.

Plus, there's at least 70 almost not an exaggeration other vendors whose sole purpose is to force you to complete terrible puzzles and other haphazard japes.

It took me a moment to remember who Lumina and Evelynn were. Now I remember. x)

no yes no yes no yes no yes no yes yes yes yes yes yes no yes (this isn't a yes or no question so I'm ignoring it) yes (why isn't this a yes or no question?) (this was a great gag but you're ruining it) yes (ignoring this one too) no My sources are biased and generally unstable, though.

Guess I need to evolve my shiny Mettaton Magneton before Episode 16. I'm not giving up that thing, it has Reborn colors and it's so cool. D:

Obligatory salutations all around! You're the first person with whom I had to look up the natures chart before replying to, so bonus points for that. Are you aware of the points system? I basically judge people on how much they deserve to... well I'm still working out the details. Scores are reset on Fridays and mean absolutely nothing! Good luck. There is no points system, I made it up.

I tend to nickname my Pokemon when either I'm playing a fan-game, or when I'm competitively breeding. I guess it has something more to do with having pride in your team and etc. I typically stray away from nicknaming Pokemon on any old playthrough of Gen 6 or Gen 4, it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm currently only replaying Gen 4 so I can transfer Dialga and Palkia to complete the Pokedex in Gen 6. :x

I remember watching the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, it taught me about sadism. It's very educational, I propose you all try it.

I'm no certifiable expert on mapping, but I've noticed your maps seem to be bit blocky. Most people try to round out edges to make them more interesting. The river also kind of bothers me by how straight it is. Also, I'm not sure of the purpose of this map, but there seems to be a lot of walking, I hope you plan to populate it with trainers, but I feel like you can add a bit more to make it not feel as empty as it so far seems to me. The flowers help, just not enough. And hold on, you just copied your first map and made some edits to make it into a second map, didn't you? You didn't think I would notice that even the flower placement was identical on the left half of the map! So I'm a bit confused on this, because at first I thought you were making it like this because you planned on at some point in a game switching one map for another, to make it seem like someone cut out a new path for you to tread down, but then I realized another path entirely disappeared... Oh! I get it, you were just indecisive on whether you wanted the player to exit from North or South.

Obligatory salutations to our fine establishment! *ahem* Welcome to Reborn? (why am I always late)

I love nicknames, except I might think too much into them while trying to make them sound cool. For example, let's take my Garchomp, Erosio. Since Garchomp is a Ground type, I took the word Erosion and mutilated it by removing the n. Let's see... we also have Medallion the Metagross Trojan the Luxray Citadel the Gengar (because Shadow Tag) Pawn the Scolipede and a few others that I don't feel like bringing up.

Advertised like an asylum, cherished like a family. Ame, you really have created a fine place here. I feel bad that I only just recently discovered it, these last few months only accounts for a fraction of what Reborn had to offer across all those years. Probably the most notable part of these forums has to of been the allotted attention given towards everything to stimulate said community. An artificial league, and eventually a flagship fan-game must only of accounted for the most recent of your illustrious exploits. I can't help but anticipate whatever this place has in store for the new year.

Alright, so since a lot of the issues went with proportion, all of which I agreed with, I went back to my original outline and restructured some of the specific things that were irksome. I feel a lot better about how this looks now as opposed to before, but there's still probably some more things I can do to make it look more appealing. Either way, it's a step up. Oh, and don't worry about being too harsh on me, I take criticism well, plus I actually take a few art classes, so I'm probably familiar with whatever terms you want to use. Pixel Art is just some whole new territory for me, I guess. It'll take me a bit to adjust. XD EDIT: Just changed the image from an outline to a version that's completely shaded. I didn't feel like leaving an entire new post though, so I just replaced the old link.

If it's any consolation, I played through Episode 15 without even knowing it was possible to get an Exp Share in the game. If you decide to go on without it, you won't be alone.

Alrighty! Incoming: my first sprite. But stop the presses, that's not all! I've also built this specific sprite from scratch (because I'm against the dismemberment of sprites), and it so happens to be an attempt at a Mugshot. So um, there's going to be a lot of issues. I'd like for everyone to bash me as hard as they can. Tell me where I went wrong, because overall, I feel like this sprite has very few things going for it. :c In this corner, we have a yellow bulb indicating a light source, and in this corner, we have the color palette I used (be sure to critique my color palette if that's off)

How perplexing. You're a deceptive one... I'll have my PIs on the case promptly. Your former identity will not remain obscured for long!
