  1. I don't get why starter pokemon has male:female ratio=3:1...

      Every game has random trainers using starters, so you can complete the [seen] Pokedex for that region, as I recall.

    3. Ice Cream Sand Witch

      Ice Cream Sand Witch

      Hoenn didn't. Unova and Kalos didn't, but you saw all of them anyway since you have more than one rival (except B2W2). Johto had some using Kanto starters but not Johto starters.

    4. Maelstrom

      It probably reflects the irl boy to girl gamer ratio.

  2. What's your opinion if there's fangame in which the mascot legendary is not available to catch?

      I'd be interested to play a game with lodging. Are there cafes and restaurants too? It's quite cool that you're planning to implement such a nice feature.

    3. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      @Mr. Divergent There'll be cafes and restaurant too but we don't know for the possibilities of cooking your own food. Thanks for your support. Hopefully we could post our project here soon, when we have more progress ^^

      I'll stay tuned to it once you post it. :)

  3. Why people hate Ash-Greninja? Is it because of the design or because the concept of trainer-Pokemon sync is bad?

      Wolfox

      my reason is simple: It was a nice concept that they fucked up in both the naming and making it exclucive to greninja. Like, why not give more starters that don't have a mega Battle Bond? Like Infernape or something?

      And it doesn't help at all that the thing is even more broken than a mega, and it allows you to use a mega. Playing Monotype was what really ruined it for me because when it got banned there there were people bitching about it getting banned. You heard me correctly: People were bitching about their type losing the second mega on the team while there were types who had to still work without mega's.

    3. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      Ah, so it's alright to have trainer-pokemon synchronization as features then. Honestly, I really like the concept of Ash-Greninja. Pokemon games should involve trainer more tbh. Trainers should not be immortal since they are people too who can get exhausted. It'd be neat for trainer to have HP-stat in game for more immersion actually~

    4. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      the concept isn;t too bad. just decrease the stat upgrades or and give some other mons the ability. or hile your add it give it so some mons with a mega~

  4. Working on a plot for fan-games with people who don't like lengthy text is such a hassle. It's so difficult to describe all the details in a few words. I wonder if anyone can give suggestion...

      وعليكم السلام

      It is surprising, hence why I asked. It is rare to find one around in pokemon communities from my experience.

      What fan game are you working on, if you don¨t mind me asking. I'm a huge enthusiast.

      I'm not the lead developer. We haven't showed ourselves to public yet. We even haven't figured out the projects' name since we want to wait for the overall story to unfold for the name. What I can say is that the region is inspired by Egypt and probably Peru~ Thanks for the support anyway~

    4. Myst Desdemona

      Myst Desdemona

      Sounds interesting regardless. I hope it has new interesting features or the like.

      Great pixel art by the way. Very impressive.

      Lannisters could have Steel (for their gold mines).

      Greyjoys and the Iron Islands would be Water types for sure. Starks are easily Ice type.

    4. Hycrox

      That's when Milotic pulls out a psychic move. Or when the opponent uses one of the other 5 Pokémon on his team to deal with the few things this monstrosity cannot burn and stall to death with Recover.

    3. sound of silence

      sound of silence

      Still a better idea than serene grace iron head/air slash

      Special attackers need more love, many special moves get nerfed in xy :( Oh say YES! to Mega Milotic~

  8. Anybody has good idea to refer "Pokemon" in the era before Pokeball invented besides "monsters"?

    1. Show previous comments  4 more
    2. Ironbound

      Ironbound

      I think the Arceus movie, which was set in an era before Pokeballs (be they made from apricorns or artificial), used those metal harnesses to control Pokémon. They were there referred to as 'magical creatures' or some such. Pokémon is a later term, a portmanteau of Pocket and Monster, and Pokeball is also a derivative portmanteau. Both came to be at the same time, when the method of capturing them in containers was devised.

    3. Combat

      Combat

      God, I wish I had a copy of the plot to one of my old Role Plays I made a few years back. I had some clever name for them in a pre-Pokeball era that I was really proud of.

      As an idea off the top of my head, you could use the word Beasts with any sort of adjective in front of it like mystic or magical.

    4. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      ^ This. I'm writing some kind of fanfic right now and it's so hard to come up with the correct name. I want it to be a single word though but Beast sounds good~

      yeah i prefer the theory behind the design than the design itself. Rowlet sure looks similar to a coconut so it could retain flying type with that element~

      I got a feeling they'll retcon Arceus into an UB.

    3. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      ^ This. Perhaps Arceus is the shaper of 'player' dimension while every other dimension--UB Dimension, will have its own creator similar like Arceus, just saying. I don't know, the moment GF announce UB I got this feeling that Pocket Monster series will end soon and continued by a series about alien...just random thought.

    4. Gentleman Jaggi

      Gentleman Jaggi

      Pokémon's sure going into a weird direction recently.

       

      I'm curious if Ame has any plans in case of major retcons to Arceus or if there would be even any need for them. (It'd be funny if the whole god Arceus thing would just fall flat on it's face. Imagine El's reaction to that.)

  10. The only time I got 'friends' in real life is when they are in trouble. Well, I'm glad I could help. However, sometimes I wish I could spend more time when everything is right, too. I guess I'm way too selfish and greedy, huh?

      don't think they wanna start more. granted I don't know them. Usually, they will then ask how you feel from time to time or something

      If you called a rose by its name in Greek, people still look at you funny. Tells you what people know.

      they know how to look at you funny, at least.

    4. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      The hard part is making them memorable and make sense. Naming a rose 'lily' will result in miscommunication while naming rose in Greek is not as memorable or familiar. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

      @Arkhi There are so many, it's hard to choose. I think I'm leaning toward Aurora, Hardy, and Shiv battle theme.

  15. Hope Power Construct doesn't work like Zen Mode

    1. Show previous comments  1 more
    2. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      with zen mode, the pokemon revert back to normal form when its hp is above 50% so it's kinda redundant to change form. Hope GF fix this also or at least Power Construct doesn't get that treatment.

    3. doombotmecha

      doombotmecha

      does power construct trigger at 50%? if so thank good the trailers made it look like 10% or something insane like that

    4. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      According to Bulbapedia, yes. It triggers once zygarde hp falls below half, that's insane (in a good way) tbh

  16. Is mono-rock that good that Rock-leader in Reborn and Rejuv are high-ranked?

      Hect

      However, rock types also are weak to five types, all of which are common: Water, Steel, Grass, Ground and Fighting.

      And while it does resist four types, those being Flying, Fire, Normal and Poison, most Rock Pokèmon are pretty frail. Though, they can make up for it in a sandstorm, since their low Sp. Def will get boosted.

      I'm pretty interested in what Hardy's team is going to look like, but I reckon that it will be some kind of weather team. :P

      Gastrodon, since whiscash can't access dragon dance atm.

      Gastrodon, because it learns Recover, has Storm Drain, and is cute.

  19. Any suggestion for law and politics-themed games?

    1. Another Felix

      Another Felix

      Ace Attorney series.

    2. 5hift

      5hift

      The Metal Gear series.

    3. Combat

      Combat

      Ace Attorney is a great series, but is super unrealistic so if you're looking for realism, avoid that. I usually avoid games with any real social commentary, but I think Papers Please has some of that. The Political Machine is a presidents election simulator, so that might be up more your alley.

  20. Hi, english speaker what is the antonym for "arid" when "arid" means something dull? Could the word "vivid" chosen as the opposite since "arid and vivid" sounds nice as a pair?

    1. HongaarseBeer

      HongaarseBeer

      I'd say 'interesting' or 'vibrant' when referring to the antonym of arid when arid is defined as 'something dull'

    2. HongaarseBeer

      HongaarseBeer

      But I guess 'vivid' is also fine

      ah, sorry for late reply but thanks for the help~

  21. I'm so annoyed that my idea has been used by other media, not just the general idea but also the details, and such media turns out to be AMAZING! Now if I'm going to use my idea it won't be so original even though I have spent my time doing research to get inspirations. What to do, sigh...

    1. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      Who cares if it's original? And maybe if they started using that idea as well, maybe they have also been researching it for quite a while

      If someone realizes that my idea is way too similar, people will sue me for plagiarism or at least they'll start to compare. Anyway, thanks for your feedback, they make me calm down a bit Yes, what I need is calm down and then find ways to distinguish my ideaa, time for a break, I guess~

  22. So I just knew that Sunkern is one of the most athlethic Pokemon. Well.... that's news...

    1. Ironbound

      Yeah, it's a Pokeathlon god. Proves that even most seemingly useless things have some niche, even if it was just a joke on GF's part, hm?

    2. IntSys

      It has *Potential*.

      That's about it XD

    3. IntSys

      IntSys

      5-star maximum on all stats is really nice, though.

  23. Hope Gen VII has new Giga Drain/Horn Leech with Ghost type. Afterall Ghost type is all about absorbing soul.

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      or more reliable recovery for Ghost-type. Many Ghost Pokemon has good bulk so if they have reliable recovery, that would be awesome. Just look at Mega Sableye~

    2. Ironbound

      Ironbound

      Mega Sableye has excellent recovery in Recover .-.

    3. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      That's what they are saying Viri LOL. Most ghosts have to rely on Pain Split. Mega Sable is an exception as pointed out by the way it is worded.

  24. I just recently watched some playthroughI and noticed that Reborn run slowlier in my PC. Any clue anybody?

    1. Phi-Bi

      Phi-Bi

      Here's my PC specification:

      AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD

      Graphics 2.00 GHz

      Memory 4.00 GB

      Windows 8.1 64 bit

    2. Maelstrom

      Maelstrom

      Might want to restart your computer every now and then- clear up some extraneous processes so more oomf can be put into running the game.

    3. Monochrome_Complex

      Monochrome_Complex

      Could be the 2.00GHz. My laptop is the same and yet can't run smooth mode like my old one(which I think was stronger) could.
