Take care of yourself Viri. Have fun and stay safe!

Funny, my response to what is or isn't cheating in this game is essentially the same as the one I have for silly people who hate speedrunners. As long as it's not multiplayer, people should be allowed to play a game however they want. For multiplayer games, I'd consider it really awful, because someone could hack in the +1 infinity sword that takes a lot of work to obtain the intended way, thus undermining the achievements and skills of other players. But you're not getting an unfair advantage over other players in Reborn. I think that as long as you don't use cheats to spoil content to other players that is currently unreachable through normal gameplay, how you play Pokemon Reborn is up to you.

I can almost always laugh at my mistakes. Even in occasions when other people might feel horribly embarrassed or stupid, I'll laugh, and usually others (when there are witnesses to my frequent stupidity) take that as a cue for it to be acceptable to laugh at what I did, too. I spent a long time in what I call an 'abusive relationship with myself', getting angry and calling myself names whenever I even did the slightest thing wrong. Sometimes I fall back into that old rut, but I've pretty much turned my old reaction to mistakes on it's head.

Optional Nuzlocke rules state that you can capture any shinies found, though I'm not sure if that ought to apply to a game with an increased shiny encounter rate. Either way, great start, and maybe next episode you might actually get to battle something!
I never did understand why she said to 'take this Pokemon and run'... forgotten dialogue that should get edited, maybe?
-
I still can't believe you got a jackpot starter... I'm sure I'll love this Nuzlocke as much as the Reborn one!

This is one of the best things I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Thank you for sharing it.

a fly. it's so strange to me that there is no fly pokemon.

This makes returning to my mono grass playthrough so much more appealing.

I think that this is possible proves how useless the TSA is:

Given that one of Reborn's main gimmicks is the hard gym leaders, there probably really isn't just 'one' boss. As others have already stated, it might be almost any leader depending on the team you build. If there is a mention of that trope, it should say something to that effect, so it doesn't turn into a list of half of the league instead.
(On another note (reminded to me by my name), some of the dialogue about Adrienn's gender would certainly qualify as Anvilicious...)
-
I'm gonna play through the game fully once before giving a thorough list, but one really common typo I keep seeing is the misspelling "aswell" instead of "as well". It's always two words, not one.
-
Aaah, I'm so excited! Even though I rarely post, I'm regularly checking out this topic. I can't wait until I can play!
-
Oh my gosh yes I am so excited for this!
-
Although I really like the idea of gym leader themes, it does pose the problem of spoilers. I think if there are leader based themes, they ought to be unlockable with badges/plot events or something along those lines. It'd avoid giving away anything about them that way.

Either Fortree or Phenac

I think I'm going to have to start calling people a knobwatch... that's a good one.
I don't really like to call people retarded. I've not met anyone who was super terribly offended by it but it just feels wrong to me. It's not lost it's meaning just yet like "crazy" and "idiot" have for most people. It's pretty much been dropped out of my vocabulary.
The worst (IMO) is when people use autism as an insult. People who use that always sound like (and probably are) a douche. Autism doesn't even affect a person's intelligence, it affects their ability to respond to social cues... :/
I hadn't realized retard still had such negative connotations. I suppose I should be glad even I was never oblivious enough to call someone autistic.

Body part + Fashion item.
Ex:
Asshat
Cockwallet
AnusScarf
Scalpsock
Knobwatch
Wanktanktop
Hmm, I LIKE this alternative. Insulting, and, as Neo pointed out, a non-ableist option. Something I never really could find a better option for in the past. Plus, it forces some creativity.
Although I don't think I'm ever going to call someone a scalpsock or wanktanktop...

Disclaimer: I'm one of the most non-confrontational people ever. I rarely insult people at all. I hope the fact that I've even made this thread makes it clear I'm not a total ass.
I've called people idiots, but that word never feels strong enough. Stupid carries a little more weight, but it isn't nearly enough. I think a hard 'r' is needed in all the words used angrily. Moron feels closest to what I want to use, but it's not quite there yet.
My favorite rude thing to call someone is retard. (Actually, 'fucking retard', if you want to be precise, but 'fuck' is a word to talk about another time.)
But very recently, someone chewed me out for saying it. Not, mind you, because I was INSULTING someone, but because of the word 'retard' in particular.
The argument is thus: using the word retard is insulting to people with learning disabilities and psychological problems. And because I'm particularly sensitive to words like 'fag' and 'tranny', I did some digging to find out if these individuals are helping me to be a better person instead of brushing them off as annoying SJWs. What I've found is that people advocating against 'retard' are those who have learning/intellectual disabilities themselves, who have been belittled and hurt in the past by this word. It's something I feel like can relate to, albiet with different words.
But you know what else is or was at some point an word used to insult the mentally disabled? The other three words I listed. As well as 'dumb', 'crazy', and 'psycho'. All of which I can promise I've used. So what makes retard so much worse?
Until it was pointed out to me, I didn't even know that the word retard was an once a slur against *googles for politically correct synonyms and finds nothing helpful* certain marginalized groups of people. Nor did I know that 'sucks' was once a homophobic slur. If the origin of the word is offensive, but it no longer carries the original meaning, I see no reason to stop using it. But IS 'retard' no longer connected to its original meaning, or am I clueless? I mean, I'm not going to stop saying things suck. And I also recognize that not using the word as a specific insult towards mentally disabled people doesn't make it automatically okay to use.
I anticipate comments about how insulting someone's intelligence is rude. Yes, it is. The question I have is; just how rude is 'retard'? Can I use my favorite intelligence insulting word, or should I find alternatives?
Because I'm not going to stop insulting stupid people altogether.

This is coming from a really big fan of Ib, I never would have drawn the connection between that Pokemon and the mannequin heads.

Does blood run out of the eyes as if they were crying?
W-what? What would even possess you to think that?

Idiot heroes. I don't mean they look dumb in the sense that if you go back and replay the game or a cutscene reveals information to you that lets you know something the hero doesn't. No, I mean the kind of hero that is so incredibly, unforgivably stupid that you know what they are doing is really dumb even without extensive trope knowledge. The kind of hero that is so dumb even when other characters point out their stupidity it can't hang a big enough lampshade to cover how convoluted their decisions are. I'm talking about the kind of hero that makes you wonder how they aren't dead yet, even if they were living as a simple farm boy until the plot started. Though this is a cliche usually manifested in main characters, the bizarre absence of gray matter also applies to villains, plucky sidekicks, and especially to mentor characters.
Surely the hero doesn't have to have a negative number of brain cells in order to drive the story forward? I like playing games in which all the characters act as if they are at or around a level of average intelligence.

Also, Noibats are pretty much useless until they evolve, so if you get sick of searching now, you can always look for a higher level one later in Tanzan.

Oh, now I am very much intrigued.

*Gets hit by high velocity episode*
I'm a little disappointed in you for not saying "I can 'Beryl'y believe it."
Metronome uses Animation Placeholder
in Battle Errors
Posted
When using Metronome, it turned into a damage-dealing attack by the name of Animation Placeholder. The move (both moves?) seem to work as intended.
Edit: It also selected Land's Wrath, which apparently isn't programmed yet, aha. (oh, sorry, didn't see that one in the known bugs)
