[So, Generation 7 (just to chat a bit about what ifs)]

What gamefreak could focus more are things Pokemon Reborn has included (drugs, cults, murder, villains that actually harm people, interogation methods, etc) and parts of the manga that are more brutal, as in more death. For those who don't know, in the first season only, Giovanni makes Cloyster kill several Magmar and a Charmeleon slices an Arbok in half (although it somehow survived). Areas to expand upon: more "intimate" relationships between pokemon and trainers, even if letting a 10yo go alone through the woods, there are other forms of bad parenting like, "mommy makes me go and play with that boy when daddy isn't home" whose mother is something like a merchant or a person who gives special items to the players, while another boy says "Have you heard that [item let's say berry] help you [action] and also taste good? Daddy goes and buys some for me almost every day but he takes a while to come back. He probably loves eating them too!!" .

I love this idea, but you have to remember that this will never happen in the games because they are marketed towards children, and Game Freak probably isn't going to change that. The reason that kind of stuff happens in the manga is that the manga is marketed more towards young adults, so they can have more dark and brutal stuff.

[Stat Masters: Interesting new challenge run]

Stat Masters is a pretty interesting type of challenge run i thought up with only a few fairly simple rules:

1. At the beginning of the run, choose a stat. This stat will be the stat you are a master of and determines what niche most of your team will fall into.
2. Also at the beginning of the run, choose a value between 100 and 130. This will be the baseline that your team will have to meet and can be adjusted based on availability. As a general rule, 100 to 110 gives you some diversity, 110 to 120 is mostly specialized pokemon with almost no diversity, and 120 to 130 is only specialized pokemon.
3. All pokemon you use on your team must meet or exceed the baseline stat in the stat that you chose when fully evolved (not including mega evolutions). HM slaves are allowed, but only if completely necessary and can not be used in battle under any circumstances.
4. If a pokemon you have on your team is not yet at or above the baseline stat, you must evolve it to get it above the baseline as soon as possible.

For example, in Omega Ruby, I choose to master in attack with a baseline of 110. As a starter, i choose mudkip because swampert's base attack is 110, and I catch a shroomish and slakoth early on because breloom's base attack is 130 and slaking's is 160. You get the jist.

This challenge forces you to use only pokemon that usually only have one or two workable stats and makes you have to find a way to work around your team's weak points.

You can combine this challenge with other kinds of challenges such as nuzlocke or monotype (consider possibly lowering the baseline for this one because of the already limited pool of pokemon). Another variant of this challenge is the complete opposite where you can only use pokemon with stats below a certain value (you'll probably have some NFEs on your team).

[If you were a Gym Leader...]

My gym would be a rock-type gym mostly based on stall because that's always fun.

Team

Corsola - light screen, reflect, recover, scald

Omastar (lord helix) - spikes, muddy water, ancient power, toxic spikes

Probopass - sandstorm, volt switch, toxic, flash cannon

Carbink - calm mind, rest, sleep talk, moonblast

Magcargo - stealth rock, recover, lava plume, toxic

Shuckle (the ultimate stall god) - toxic, infestation, rest, shell smash (contrary)

[The Ganolth Challenge]

I got kricketot. Dat powerful bide tho.

If only i was born on february 158. w8w0t

[[Insert witty title here to make you like me maybe hopefully pls]]

You could probably solo Reborn with a team of Shuckles if you hacked one in with something like Recover or Roost. Then you could give your Shuckles a moveset of Recover/Infestation/Toxic/Protect to destroy literally everything.

that would be awesome, but it can't beat the ultimate stall that is contrary shuckle with chesto berry and shell smash/infestation/toxic/rest

[So, Generation 7 (just to chat a bit about what ifs)]

Flygon won't give up until it gets a mega stone.

Plz it needs to be a thing

Fun fact: Sugimoro really wanted a Mega Flygon too, but they couldn't come up with a design for it. Apparently, Game Freak artists have too much pride or don't know how to google search mega flygon for inspiration cuz there are some pretty good ones out there.

[Should I use my fire stone on vulpix or growlithe?]

In my opinion, Ninetales is better because of drought, but if you don't have anything that needs the sun on your team, i would go for Arcanine because it is a pretty nice physical attacker while Ninetales is just a meh special attacker

[So, Generation 7 (just to chat a bit about what ifs)]

First of all, I just want to point out that there is leaked info saying that there will be 2 more games in gen 6 so it will be at least 1 or 2 more years before we might get a gen 7 game and there will probably be more new megas in these remaining gen 6 games.

Second, I need a mega flygon to happen. I NEED IT.

Third, I think Game Freak should explore some of the type combinations that haven't been used yet, particularly fire/ice, that type combo would be so amazing.

[Reborn Eras]

I'm one of the newbies here, episode XV is the start to my hopefully very long stay in reborn

[Shiny Egg]

If i am correct, there is no way to guarantee a shiny from an egg; they have the same chance of being shiny as wild pokemon, but this game does have an increased shiny rate so you won't have to hatch so many eggs.

[Hello. :3]

Welcome to reborn, friend. I am also new here, but the people here have been very nice and respectful to me and everyone here. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed by this game. This game not only meets your expectations, but exceeds them. The game has amazing music, is incredibly difficult but not to the point that it's impossible, and a great story. Again, welcome to the reborn community and enjoy your stay.

[Overrated Pokemon]

In my opinion, the single most overrated pokemon in existence is Arceus. I know what you're saying, " HE'S FUCKING GOD HOW COULD HE BE OVERRATED!!!" Just hear me out on this one. While he may have great stats, he has a somewhat lackluster movepool leaving him with only 2 usable sets: swords dance espeed and support. Both of these sets are good, but neither of them are anywhere close to matching his status as the god of pokemon.

[Favorite Pokemon.]

Well, i looked at all the posts here and am disappointed to find that there are no people here that share the love for my favorite pokemon. Just because of that, i'm not telling you... well actually it's pretty obvious. Shuckle is my favorite pokemon.

I hear you ask, "Why Shuckle?" and in response i say, do i really have to explain... ok, you're right, sorry. The reason i love Shuckle so much is that it is so frickin ADORABLE (to me anyways) and the fact that it can do 721,899,685 damage in a single attack is amazing. Also, it's name is just so fun to say. Shuckle.

You can't resist the Shuckle

[[Insert witty title here to make you like me maybe hopefully pls]]

From what you said above that mean you just start so I advise that you need more than Shuckle to beat this game.

I kinda wanna do a solo Shuckle run now just to prove you wrong but i know that i'll fail so i probably won't do it. XP

[[Insert witty title here to make you like me maybe hopefully pls]]

Hi everybody, I'm Alozan, but you can call me Alozan... or maybe Shucklemaster Alozan or Alozan-senpai or -kouhai, whatever you want really.

I'm new to reborn (i actually just finished downloading the game) so let me introduce myself. I'm shy and awkward and not very good a introducing myself so this will be fun.

Here we go. As i said, i'm shy and awkward. I'm also an all-around nerd (gamer, math geek, weeaboo, you name it) and my favorite game series is pokemon (duh). My favorite pokemon, as you may be able to tell is Shuckle (I am the Shucklemaster). That's pretty much all i have to say about myself, and I just want to say something, but i don't know what... eh, whatever, I'll just say hi.
