  1. So I just happen to descend the waterfall to rescue Titania and Amaria. 

    (That doesn't count as spoilers, right?)

    Anyways, I fight some grunt on the northeast side of the complex who has a ditto.

    I throw out my gardevoir with Trace out, he sends out his ditto.

    I outsped and trace his ditto's Impostor.

    My gardevoir is now a ditto.

    We're just spamming transform at each other now.

    Is this the way it's supposed to work? I faintly recall a similar bug in other games I played, but my mind is hazy.

    Terribly sorry if this isn't a bug and I'm just a complete moron. Thought it was funny and decided to notify in case it is unintended.

    As you can see, my 'Ditto' is female and level 68.

    Dittos do not have a gender.

    Help.

    Talk to literally everyone, everywhere, around the city. There are 15 people max for best prize, but prize for 10+ is also almost as good as for 15.

     

    That's.. not what I was hoping for. Thanks for the info either way.

    By the way, the prizes are wiseglasses for ten people, along with an ability capsule and...a star piece if you get 15? One of those items that is just for making a bit of cash.

    Spoiler

    The prizes are irrelevant to me, mostly just want to please the characters with what they ask of me. 

    Please someone help me

  3. So, gym related spoiler question

    Spoiler

    Where am I supposed to find people to help out Adrienn ( I can't spell)? I found 2 people so far. Does anyone know where they aren't? LIke for that Mulch Quest, you're told that its not in buildings, so you only look outside. Something like that, please.

     

  4. 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 :(

  5. Meat is meat. End of story.

    As Luffy would say

    Bears are herbivores mostly, so their meat is not terrible to taste.

    The only meat that is outright horrible, is meat from carnivore mammals.

    Though since pokemon reproduce with eggs, referring to any of them as a mammal, is wrong. Even if the pokedex says it (i think i have seen it somewhere).

    Isn't a platypus considered a mammal, even though it lays eggs?

    I have always thought Yanmega to be quite badass, it's apparently a beast too. I have to doubt a dragonfly going for bears for food though. Don't bugs eat other bugs mostly?

    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?

  6. nah, for the champion, the field changes every time the champion changes pokemon. FINAL EXAM TIME!!!

    yeah this field is gonna be insane. haze or other stat-NO moves are 100% necessary for Titania now. also ground types. chesnaught should be pretty strong too.

    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.

  7. Well holy sheet, damn Metagross, you scary. Not only does it get pancaked, but devoured mercilessly... That said, what DO Metagross prey on?

    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.

  8. 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.

  9. But dogs also eat their own poop. Does that mean dog-based pokemon eat trubbish/ garbodor??

    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.

    Jokes aside, I believe the butterfly-eating thing is not really part of a dog's diet but more like an isolated case of cluelessness (They say pugs aren't very intelligent, but I wouldn't know). I also don't think Snubbul is based off of pugs, but rather bulldogs (i.e. their name)

    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...

  10. and apparently granbulls eat beautiflies according to this reliable source

    https://www.facebook.com/LADbible/videos/2937091886337982/

    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. :wub:

  11. A world of bliss where there is no competitive battling, tiers don't exist, and everyone's Pokemon is a Gyarados.

    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.

  12. From there, you can purchase and use the ace membership item in the shop with the rupees you have.

    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

  13. regarding alpha/beta testing, i am going to have more than one alpha tester this time because those who have played the betas can probably attest to the fact that one doesn't seem to be quite enough. and, because there's so much in this update that has changed or been added (or is just generally fucky like the city update) I intend to leave it in beta for a longer period of time than usual.

    so heads up with that.

    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.

  14. The situation with Bulbasaur could be symbiotic. In the anime we are shown a Heracross feeding from the bulb, and the Bulbasaur showing discomfort. However that does not mean the Heracross was eating the Bulba in front of its trainer, no matter how metal that would be. Similar to how bees in the real world help plants procreate through epiconiasis, the Heracross could be doing the same, whilst providing a nutritious meal for itself. Same could go with Cherubi and Staraptor.

    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.

    As for Chansey, eggs are animal period, not necessarily babies. So if an un-fertilized Chansey egg is produced, it can be sold and eaten. Yes, in a different situation the egg could be fertilized and the world would suffer from yet another pink fat blob, so there is some sort of non-vegetarian meal there. It does not initiate a prey-predator link however, which means that it could be in a way also symbiotic, as excess eggs can be used to feed the general population.

    I see no problem with that you've said.

    Now, Vanillite and sons. Supposedly the pokemon has nothing to do with Ice-cream and simply is a cone of ice that's come alive. It's developed in high peaks of mountains and is camouflaging itself as a stalactite. Simply when people discovered it, they had already been eating ice cream, saw the resemblance and decided to name it accordingly. Nothing weird there, except you might be eating soggy meat flavored ice cream. I won't judge.

    Yes, I assumed as much. From what I've gathered, that's a plausible explanation. Nothing points towards it actually being Vanilla. Disappointing :(

    As far as A-Rattata are concerned, they did not decide to go nocturnal. That's not how evolution works. What's more logical is that the species already was nocturnal (given Kanto did not have day-night cycles) or at least parts of the general Rattata population were. This means that in the latter case, Rattata and A-Rattata prefer to move around different times in a day, whilst still belonging to the same species, due to their being simply different subcategories of the same species, similar to how "races" would work in the pokemon world. With the introduction of mangustas (Yungoose), the diurnal population diminished while the nocturnal one thrived. Given it was already overpopulating, it managed to recover the losses and increase in numbers once again.

    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

  15. This is like the longest wait we've had between episodes I think she's given us more than enough time for that.

    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?

  16. I meant Sawk and Throh (but I call 'em suck and throw, I dislike them). I presume those are not meat, akin to rocks and whatnot

    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.

    Bananas grow on Tropius and people harvest and eat those. Snover share the berries growing on them with others

    We can assume Pokemon provide various means of nutrition, be it with their meat, something that grows on them or something they just ..have

    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?

  17. As for creating a Hell... Ah, I'm looking forward to that.

    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...

    Careful what you say mate. Name's Commander, I make Reborn harder using Ame's system and improving them. Believe me if the Reborn team wanted to kick your ass they could in a heartbeat. But that's boring. The best method of torture is keeping the goal just out of reach to maximize agony. ^_^

    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. :wub:

    Or maybe just me specifically. why not :P;)

    I feel like I don't know what kind of hole I'm digging myself into... Don't kill me please, thnx

  18. Well, regular Rattata were in Alola so in a way, they were Alolan Rattata :ph34r: .

    Damn you....

    I think all Pokemon are meat, regardless if they're a grass or water type, so long as the species they're based off of are meat. I mean, dinos and lizards and whatnot may have been herbivores but they were still meat and the prey of carnivorous dinos/lizards. I don't know where things like Suck/Throw came from or why they're born from eggs wearing martial arts outfits, but, not all Pokemon are animals so there's that I guess. Do you think Vanillish line tastes like Icecream or like ice?

    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.

    They also have sex with each other but if they showed that it would not be a family rating lmao

    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...

    These are my conclusions from a few dex entries

    Slowpoke is said to be a good fisher. When a shelder takes the bait it evolves into slowbro, the newly evolved is now forced to hunt in the more tradiational way. So the slowpoke users the tail to catch food and pkmn take the bait, we can thus safely assume that slowpoke eats pokemon.

    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

    Chansey have interesting entries as well. Chansey eggs are highly nutricous and are very desired. Chansey distributes these eggs to people or pkmn. Blissey has similar entries.

    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.

    Then we have paras and parasect, in this case parasects eat the paras from the inside out.

    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?

    Cherubi has a nutrious sack that is desired by starly.

    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 targets weakend pkmn and carries them to the nest, the bones are used for the vullaby or decoration.

    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.

    I think we already have cases of regional birds being found in multiple regions, mostly regions with appropriate climate for said birds. I think vullaby/ mandibuzz would also do well in the Hoenn desert. Given the nature of vultures in real life, you could also presume that Mandibuzz also feed on the remains of things that couldn't survive the desert

    Yes. What Pokemon naturally habit Hoenn's desert? Could we consider Mandibuzz an invasive species? Or could it be helpful with decomposition?

  19. Birds eat worms in their natural diet so it's valid to presume regional birds hunt regional worms

    Take the gen 7 Hawaiian lore as well. Yungooses were imported to Alola in order to deal with the overpopulation of Alolan Rattata. Implied that humans wanted to murder enough Rattata to decrease their numbers. You can't see it any other way. However, both pokemon missed each other due to one being diurnal and the other nocturnal, so in the end both of them became overpopulated.

    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.

    That happens only when it's in water! But even if it didn't, then I would just drink it instead of eating it :P

    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?
