Gym Leader Thing

That's.. not what I was hoping for. Thanks for the info either way. Please someone help me

So, gym related spoiler question

I have no idea where to go. So, after somehow managing to update my game, I talked to Ciel and triggered that text box as soon as you leave the circus. Someone please tell me, where am I supposed to go? I beat episode 15 way too long ago for me to remember

Isn't a platypus considered a mammal, even though it lays eggs? I doubt that Yanmega would evolve it's ferocious ability if it was only hunting bugs. Combees and Yanmas aren't the most vicious prey, are they?

My sides are in orbit. It took me a good 5 minutes to calm down, and now that I have, I must say that Yanmega is still scary as hell. It's a ferocious predator, is it not? What do you guys think about Yanmega?

Jesus, I wonder what fresh hell the champion would be. i like your idea of the battle. What 'mon will be needed? Haze would be very useful for stopping stat increases, but what else would we use? Smart move for this Titania fight is being wary if you decide to use dragon. With steel being super effective towards dragon, using a dragon doesn't seem like a good option, but to each their own. Fire attacks gain Dragon typing as well. Dragons better hightail it out of here. Man, definitely need to use stickyweb.

That's the important question right there! What would a 1212.5 lbs/550 kg metal monster eat? After doing some research, I found out where you can find a Metagross, which is Giant Chasm's rustling grass in Crater Forest in Pokemon Black and White (original and 2). What other Pokemon can you find there? Mamoswine, Audino, and Clefable can also be found in the rustling grass patch. All 3 of these Pokemon weigh considerably less than a Metagross, meaning that even Mamoswine (641.5 lbs/291.0 kg) would get pinned down by the weight of Metagross, which is almost twice its weigh! In-Fucking-Credible. What else though? Let's take a gander at Yanmega, shall we? Its Pokemon Platinum Pokedex entry states: Its jaw power is incredible. It is adept at biting apart foes while flying by at high speed. What this would imply is that it would essentially rip off chunks of its prey Pokemon while fighting them. Which might sound brutal-er than Metagross. Maybe even rip off the head of its prey and eat it, based on its jaw power.

This game has a habit of surprising us, maybe we're forced to make a decision that can cause deaths, such as one life over multiple others, or we end up inadvertently killing someone. Thus someone dies but we're the one who causes us. Who would expect it? Anybody disagree/agree? Or did this scenario already happen before? Cory maybe? I wonder who will die and how it would play out, but I hope I'm right.

Wait, so exactly how do I meet Arclight? Buy every single stolen pokemon from the black market? What about that one stolen pokemon stolen by spiderman from the roof? Do i need that pokemon as well? Help ;-;

One might say that Pokemon don't poop and that we have no proof of that, but I faintly remember a Darumaka entry stating something about its "droppings." Omega Ruby's Darumaka Pokedex entry says the following: Darumaka's droppings are hot, so people used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm. This confirms that Pokemon do in fact have droppings, which is essentially their feces. Whether or not Dog Pokemon do in fact sniff/eat it is a whole other conversation. Although I will discuss it if anyone is actually curious. I agree with both your statements. Snubbul, Pitbull, etc. Although I do wonder, what Pokemon are the most brutal when hunting their prey? Let's take a look at Metagross. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire's Metagross Pokedex entry says the following: Metagross is the result of two Metang achieving fusion. When hunting, this Pokémon pins the prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using the large mouth on its stomach. Fucking Brutal...

I have no clue who Arclight is. Should I be worried or happy or?? I've heard mentions of the reborn league and that there were people irl and stuff. Other than that I'm in the dark. Can anyone explain this?

I think that'd be a Snubble at best. Although dogs eating things such as butterflies isn't common, so whether or not dog Pokemon would do this is up for debate. Treating Pokemon that appear similar to their real life counterpart does help out with what activities they might do. Thus, the discussion. Although I will say that that dog looks adorable.

Competition is the life and blood of our species. As long as I live I will use the best option available. Tiers are great Also, there are some trash legendaries that are completely worthless, such as the Lake, Titan, and Swords of Justice Trios. One could also say the Legendary Beasts Trio, but they are useful depending on the item, EV spread, and moveset, although not by much, so that one would be up to debate. Other legendaries, such as the Mortality, Eon, and Tower Duos are actually somewhat useful, so crossing them off the list until post game makes sense. However, adding in the trios I've mention would impact nothing on gameplay, as they are so worthless that using them is actually a hinderance. Although, of course, the decision is ultimately up to the creator.

Rupees? Also, damn. Well, maybe we'll get it at Christmas! It'd be a great present, if anything. Plus that gives more time for the testers. I know you'll all do a great job It'll take some time to get used to that song, but it sounds good nevertheless

Let's say hypothetically, the status is at 100% by October 31st. When do we get it? Granted, there need to be the testers and all that stuff, but is there an estimated wait time is for fans? Not to rush you guys, I'm just curious. Will it be possible to view our individual relationship values with each character somewhere? I don't know if it exists already or not, so if it does I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me where to find it.

Hold on there. The word, 'epiconiasis,' that you used is incorrect. I tried to google it to see if it would correct to something different, but got epic onsies instead... Auto-correct gives me the word Episcopalians. I need clarification please. Also, how would that Bulbasaur and Heracross symbiotic relation work? Heracross gets a meal, sure, but it's not "spreading" its seed, as Bulbasaur isn't actually a plant. I assume they're mating regularly as animals. Cherubi and Staraptor are not mutual in any way, shape, or form, from what I'm reading from its Pokedex entries. From its Black and White entry: The small ball is not only full of nutrients, it is also tasty. Starly try to peck it off. From its HeartGold and SoulSilver entry: It evolves by sucking the energy out of the small ball where it had been storing nutrients. From its X and Omega Ruby entry: Sunlight colors it red. When the small ball is drained of nutrients, it shrivels to herald evolution. Based on these entries, Cherubi has absolutely no reason to give up its nutrients, as it needs them for evolution. It can't be a mutual relationship, unless you assume that the Starly essentially threaten Cherubi with death unless it gives up the nutrients, in which case it's not a mutual relationship, its commensalism. I see no problem with that you've said. Yes, I assumed as much. From what I've gathered, that's a plausible explanation. Nothing points towards it actually being Vanilla. Disappointing Take a gander at this entry (important parts are highlighted with purple) from the official Pokemon Sun and Moon website: http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-rattata/ Alolan Rattata’s form changed as a result of their battle for territory with Yungoos. Unlike ordinary Rattata, urban areas are Alolan Rattata’s main habitat. They are nocturnal and live in nests of several dozen. Alolan Raticate serve as their bosses. As a countermeasure to the exploding Rattata population in the Alola region, Yungoos were imported and released. To better avoid Yungoos, Rattata changed their preferred environments and circadian rhythms. These adaptations to their new environment led to a changed form. To me, this highly points towards the fact that they did just decide to become nocturnal. Granted, you could interpret it differently, but the entry states they changed it, not that some of the population who were already nocturnal survived, etc. Since Yungoos are diurnal, they are no longer useful to fight Rattata. Also, I'm fairly certain that there are no regular Rattata in Alola, only the Alolan version. Don't forget to join in our conversation! Anyone can say their opinion, it doesn't have to be long. why not

What level are our Pokemon supposed to be at? My main rotation 'mons are 77 and above. I'm currently leveling up some 'mons I think will be useful, as well as for type coverage. Whats the level cap so far at the end of episode 15? lvl 80?

Ohhhhh. Fucking 'ell, not those two buggers. Thanks for the clarification though. Actually, in the Pokemon anime, generation 5, remember that fat ginger kid? He had a Sawk and Bianca loved its muscles. In battle, it used bulk up, and it started flexing. I don't rocks can grow bigger and look surprisingly like muscles. I assume Pokemon like Tropius and Snover have food on them so they can use it for escape. Predator comes around and trying to get some Snover so Snover drops them berries to flee. Predator gets berries and shit and Snover lives to see another day. What would hunt a Snover though? Weaviles?

I'm not surprised that you'd enjoy creating a hell for us. My Pokemon are at level 77. I have my rotation to cover teams comprised of any Pokemon type. Although I do wonder what kind of hell we'd have to trek through... Nice to meet you, Commander. I don't know who exactly works on what here but I appreciate everything you and everyone else have done so far to make this game the way it is. I say this with the utmost respect: Bring it, mate. I don't doubt your ability to make my life a living hell, but when I finally come out the other side after clinging on tooth and nail, I'll have the biggest smile on my face. It'll take me a damned long time though. Reborn is a tough game, after all. I do like the way you think with your torture method though. I can't wait to see what horrors you'll put us through. Or maybe just me specifically. why not I feel like I don't know what kind of hole I'm digging myself into... Don't kill me please, thnx

Damn you.... Suck/Throw? No clue about which Pokemon you're talking about, I need clarification, sorry ;-; I assume that if it's called Vannilish, it would taste as Vanilla icecream. Looking at all the Pokedex entries for the Vanillite evolution line, it mentions nothing about taste, sadly. There's nothing that gives away the fact it tastes like vanilla, meaning it was named mostly because it looked like vanilla. Disheartening, to say the very least. That is a given, I'm assuming. They don't show it but I'm fairly sure if you poke around that you'd find that other people have depicted it, for the most part. Female Praying Mantises (whats the plural here? Manti? Mantises????) eat their partner's head after sex. I don't think we have a Pokemon based off of a praying mantis. Then there's Wailord and Skitty... Oh boy... Slowpoke ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer, so I question what pokemon would be dumb enough to let slowpoke eat it. Or maybe Slowpoke isn't slow for eating. I do accept your assumption. Speaking of slowpoke, SLOWPOKE TAILS. God dammit, they cost so much. Remember that Rocket Grunt after the flying type gym in Johto? He tried to sell it for a million pokedollars, I think. Apparently they're a delicacy. I'm assuming slowpokes are good at regeneration so they can survive when a predator would attack and rip off one of their limbs, point being their tail. Or maybe their regeneration is only for their tail because they use it for fishing and their prey would cut off the tail when caught? Something along those lines I'm assuming the fact that the egg is sweet and full of nutrients the reason why people and pokemon alike would crave it. Although, I highly doubt the egg is alive in any way, or connected to Chansey/Blissey. I think you have your facts mixed up here. Paras and Parasect are both controlled by the fungus. Parasect is completely gone, while Paras is barely surviving. Once Paras evolves, the fungus completely controls the newly evolved Parasect, as shown by its emotionless pupils. I'm not sure where you got the idea that Parasects would eat Parases. Is there a source? I question how a Cherubi would fight off a Starly. Maybe it has a mutual relation with another Pokemon for protection in exchange for letting it sip its bulb just so it doesn't die to Starly. Mandibuzz is a vulture Pokemon, so I'm not surprised. Mandibuzz has to kill the Pokemon to receive bones. It's not bartering with Cubones and Marowaks for them. Covering yourself with your kills... Brutal, at the very least. Yes. What Pokemon naturally habit Hoenn's desert? Could we consider Mandibuzz an invasive species? Or could it be helpful with decomposition?

I think you got something mixed up there. Yungooses were brought in to deal with regular Rattata, and they did, for the most part. However, the Rattata decided to become nocturnal since their predator was diurnal, and Alolan Rattata was born. I assume it's flesh when it's in its battling form. The change to water molecules would cost it part of its body because some of it would be consumed. I don't think Vaporeon can be hunted properly. Bulbasaur's bulb is a plant bulb. However, when hit by fire, it scorches them, not burns them up like grass naturally is. I assume the body is meat, just like regular animals. Herbivores are made of meat, after all. Maybe they'd eat the body but not the bulb? Decomposition would take its effect. As for Vanilla pokemon, Vanillish exists because of fuck if I know. I don't know how Pokemon would process a Pokemon with such complex sugars. How do regular animals respond to ice cream? I think it's safe to conclude that Pidgeys eat Caterpies and Weedles, and that the other regional birds eat their regional worms. However, would bird Pokemon from different regions be better suited to other regions? Think, invasive species. I question though, what came first, the Durant of the Heatmor? Join in on the conversation people, what are your thoughts?

In real life, animals consume each other for food. Prey have evolved to better hide from their predators and predators have evolved to find their prey more easily. Some have sharper teeth for cutting, others wait for others to do their jobs for them (scavengers), and some are covered in toxins to deter consumption. The Pokedex is not the most reliable source out there. However, due to a few bad apples, we shouldn't dismiss all the entries. Not to mention that certain Pokemon just scream out the fact that they are made for ripping and shredding their prey apart. They need energy to survive and I highly doubt they go to a Pokemon Center for Pokeblocks, Poffins, Berries, or whatever else we think they eat. Some questions are but not limited to: Which Pokedex entries can we chalk up as valid, what Pokemon eat each other, what have some Pokemon gained as characteristics to deter predators, how have species evolved to beat each other (think Miami Heatmor and Kevin Durant), etc. How has Magikarp survived for so long without dying out since it's such an easy food source? All this and more in this discussion thread!. Let's start with an easy topic, Heatmor and Durant. Take Heatmor's Pokemon Y Pokedex entry: It draws in air through its tail, transforms it into fire, and uses it like a tongue. It melts Durant and eats them. Now, a gander at Durant's Pokemon Y Pokedex entry: They attack in groups, covering themselves in steel armor to protect themselves from Heatmor. As we can see, Durants have evolved steel casing on their bodies to prevent easy consumption by Heatmors, and Heatmors in turn have evolved hotter flames to burn through the casing. Who has the advantage here? Which species do we expect will beat out the other? Who's the communities favorite to survive? How do these biological changes affect their communities? I'll be responding as much as I can to those who post.

Can anyone please tell me Ame's tumblr blog name? Although I didn't care much for Cain at the beginning, I started to grow fond of him. I highly doubt Ame would remove one of our best rivals, although Ame is known for being a cruel mistress... Aside from that, there's the field. I get a feeling that I'll be restarting there a lot... I'll be pulling my hair out as well. One thing to keep in mind is that that's a main point of Reborn. The frustration of losing, the gloom of being on a losing streak, the despair of feeling you're not good enough yet, and ultimately, the disbelief of actually having won. That's one of the main reasons I came here. To prove myself. Even after the hindering of available Pokemon, the unhelpful stage effects at times, the lack of all available items, the shortage of money, we've managed to come this far. To be fair, I thoroughly dislike the idea of Ame being Ame, but if I wasn't pulling my hair out then it wouldn't be Reborn. There isn't a hell that Ame can create that I won't chip away at or power through. I say bring it on Ame. :feelsgd:

I have nobody else to ask this to so I'll probably get a warning for this but can I make a separate topic about this somewhere else on this site? It highly interests me but I understand if it wouldn't be allowed, although it is Pokemon related. Sorry if it seems I'm doing this for a bad reason, that's not my intention.
